THE SOUTHERN STATES LIFE INS. CO.
Candler Building* ATLANTA* GA.
By REV. E. D. ELLENWOOD,
PASTOR UNI VERBALIST CHURCH
I N' every community there la a cer
tain group of religious leader*
who devote themselves with a**
eidu jus zeal to the defense of the Bible
from nil enemies, real 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
mony with the manifest spirit of that
religious life which they design thus to
preserve nnd to foster.
But It Is certainly an open question
whether this defense of the sacred lit
erature as conceived and conducted In
r ’ many brains and from so many pul
pits and printing presses, does not. In
* great majority of Instances, defeat Its
very object. The reason Is not very far
ta seek. Zeal, unacco'mpanled by rea-
*on anti enthusiasm, unhampered by
Intelligence, may for a time hold In the
leash of superstition the soul which
presses forward eargerly In Its search
after that truth which Is the beginning
"f freedom, but ever the old restraint
of the awesome regard of th* unknow
able grows less and less powerful as
the mind Increases Its capacity for In
dividual thinking, until finally Its bursts
the bonds of Its captivity and, swinging
to the opposite extreme of the pendu
lum, declare* Its disbelief In everything
whfch will not admit of physical proof
and demands for Its existence In the
human consciousness the active em
ployment of that sixth sense which we
nave named faith.
Thus does the misguided xealot, who
Insists that all men shall find In the
Bible only that which his own study
has developed and shall Interpret It to
be and to mean, that which his own
thought has determined, become In very
truth the Bible’s most powerful and
most dangerous enemy.
It la a deplorable fact, mournfully re
iterated In nearly every, gathering of
religious teachers and leaders today,
that the study of the Bible Is not so
general as It was twenty-five years
ago. We dr* told that men and women
are losing Interest In religious matter*.
I do not believe that this I* true, men
and women are not less religious.
Their religion ls finding new modes of
expression, that I* all. And. If th* study
of the Bible has suffered somewhat of
a decadence, It 1* due not to any actual
IndlfTerence to religion, but rather to
the attempt of overtealou* defender*
of the Bible to force those who would
gladly read and value It for It* true
worth to And In It thrt which their rea
son and extended study renders them
unable to recognise.
If a man of an earnest, studious and
reverent mind And* himself utterly
unable to any longer honestly accept
a belief In the plenary Inspiration of
the Holy Scriptures, must It then fol
low that their power as a factor In
hie spiritual development shall be lost
to him? Shell the matchless epic poet
ry, the stirring dramas, the splendid
outbursts of faith and hope In song and
prophecy, the compelling Ideals of th*
decalogues, found throughout this In
valuable collection of writings, the s*
rlous literature of an ancient people,
fall In their InAuence to mold and
shape his character, simply becaust he
Is no longer able to conceive these
writings to he, In their entirely, the his
tory of the chosen people of Qod?
Here ls a man who believes that the
Bible Is Inded the word of Ond, given
by plenary Inspiration, and Infallible

were attached to th* aching tooth, and
a team of hones was brought Into play.

If you Inslat that he roncur In a belief
