THE DEFENSE OF THE BIBLE
By REV. E. D. 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?

Bible le Inded the word of nod, given'
by plenary Inspiration, and Infallible

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. Under
the law of 200 years ago ha could not
be proceeded against.
