ELLENWOOD, | PASTOR.UNIVERSAI.IST CHURCH 8 I ' N every community there la a cer tain group of rellgioua leaders who devote'themselves with as- ridUKUM seal to tha defenae of the Bible from all enemies, re,I or Imaginary. Their earnestness and unfailing •watch fulness are certainly to be highly com mended and faithfully emulated, even If the method and the spirit of their welfare be not always entirely In har-_ m.iny with the manifest spirit of that religious life which they design thus to preserve and to foster. But It Is certainly an opan question whether .this defense of the sacred lit erature as conceived and conducted In re many brains and from so many pul pit. and printing presses, does not. In a great majority of Instances, defeat Its very object. The reason la not vary far fa seek. Zeal, unaccompanied by rea- •on and enthusiasm, unhampered by Intelligence, may for a lime hold In the leash of superstition tha soul which presses forward eargarly In Ita search ■tier that truth which la the beginning of freedom, but ever the old restraint of the awesome regard of tha unknow- shle grows lets and leas powerful at the mind Increases Its cepacUy tor In dividual thinking, until finally Ita hursts the bonds of Its captivity and, swinging to tha opposite extreme of the pendu lum, declares Ita disbelief In everything which will not admit of physical proof and demands for Its axlatenca In tha human conaclouantis the active em ployment of that s^xth sense which we have named faith. Thus does the misguided xealot, who Insists that all men ehall find In the Bible only that which hie own etudy has developed and shall Interpret It to be end to mean, that which hla own thought has determined, become In very truth the Bible's most powerful and moat dangerous enemy. It la a deplorable fact, mournfully re iterated In nearly every gathering of religious teachers and leaders today, that ths study of the Bible le not so general as It was twenty-five year* ago. We are told that men and women are loelng Interest In rsllglous matters. 1 do not btlleva that this Is true, men and women are not lees religious. Thtlr religion is finding new modes of expression, that la all. And. If the etudy of the Bible hpa suffered somewhat of a decadence, It Is dua not to any actual Indifference to religion, but rather to the attempt of overxealou, dafendera of the Bible to force those who would gladly read and valua It for Ita trus worth to And in It that which their rea son and extended study randers them unable to recognise. It a man of an earnest, studious and reverent mind finds hlmealf utterly unable to any longer honestly accept a ballet In the plenary Inspiration of the Holy Bcrlptures, must It then fpl- low that their power aa a factor In his spiritual devslopmsnt shall be lost to him? Shall the matchless epic poet ry, the stirring dramas, tha splendid outbursts of faith and hope In song and prophecy, the compelling Ideals of tha Hogues, found throughout this In- table collection of writings, the se rious literature »f an ancient people, fall In their Influence to mold and shape hie character, simply because he Is no longer able to conceive these writings to be. In their entirety, the his tory of the chosen people of Ood?

Ixtndon, July SI.—It la not unlikely that the quashing of the Indlctnjent against Ambassador Reid's chauffeur will be taken up In parliament In a spirit of retaliation against tha United Statea for the action of Maaaachusatta some time ago In dealing with the chauffeur of the British ambassador at Washington. There le still much feel ing In diplomatic circles over the way the latter affair was magnified. There le little doubt ae to ths outcome.
