THE BIBLE And HISTORY.
PROFESSOR FRANCIS BROWNS LECTURE At THE
CHURCH OF THE COVENANT.


PROFESSOR FRANCIS BROWNS LECTURE At THE
CHURCH OF THE COVENANT.
Professor Francis Brown ID. D., occupied the pulpit
In the Church Of the Covelant, Thirtyhfth-st. and
Farave last evening. and delivered the fifth lecture
OF the course OF Sunday evening talks The Bible
and Modern Thought" DIR. Briggs occupied the same
pulpit on the three previous Sundays The subject Of
Professor Browns discourse was The Bible and His
tory The speaker maintained that the Bible offered
the best evidence 10 prove that 1t Of great historical
value, and that It's critics had not been impartial in
their treatment Of II. The Bible, he admitted. did
contain historical errors, but that did not prove that
ID was not OF historical value. IL would not accuse
those who insist that all Biblical history must be
absolutely accurate Of being themselves morally dis
honest said Professor Brown, but there Is mental
warp which renders perfect candor, fairness, real
mental honesty and simpiicy-always difficult
in this crooked world-far more difficult
than H. is under other circumstances. One
great blessing On all the historical strife OF the last
two or three years Is the frankness with which men
have been speaking out their real thoughts II IS
not uBimporant what the Bible tells OF historical
fact but the Importance Of fully perceiving and
weighing what the Bible actually does tell is greater
stn God is God of truth. God has given us
minds by which may search out the truta In nli
the lines OF possible knowledge. He does not bid us
discredit the faculties which are our endowment
degrades Us. The truth of God in history matches
the truth or God In the religious life. True
scholarship cannot be divorced from true faith IL
IS the duty OF Christs church 20 go on, seeking 20
believe more profoundly, and tn study more widely
and courage0usy until Mt last see as we are SEEM
and know, also we are KNOWN
Professor Brown said he did not intend his remarks
as a reply to anything DIR. Briggs had said, but
reply to the critics OF the Bible In general.

COMMENT ON THAT CHILEAN CIRCULAR
ITS TONE REGARDED As TOO INTEMPERATE TIC


DO ANYTHING BUT HARM.
Washington, Dec. 10 (specla)-The publication this
morning OF what puIported TO be copy of circular
letter recently sent by the Gillian Minister Of Foreign
Affairs to all the Gillian legations in Europe and
America, In the text OF which 1t is broadly inmated
that President Harrison and Secretary Tracy have
made assertions about the Gillian difficulty based on
Information erroneous deliberately Incorrect
created good deal of comment In diplomatic circles
here. The whole circular, in fact, published, I'm
peaches the veracity and good faith Of the President
and Mr.. Tracy, 1t boldly attacks the diplomatic
paradise.
South American diplomats generally refused TO
credit the circular, thinking that 1t was either
wholly fictitious or grossly mstranslated. The
Administration, Of course is fully prepared to sustain
the recent Official utterances on GILLIAN affairs
In the Presidents message and in the report of the
Secretary of the Navy ard TO show that there has not
been want, as charged in the alleged circular, OF
either "exactness frankness in the statements made
at Washington The circular, however. being II
authentic, confidential and private document cannot
be brought officially to the attention OF the state De.
partment the President, and the Government VIII
therefore be obliged 10 ignore its contents officially.
The purpose of such manifesto have been to alay
wrong in the existing diplomatic difficulty with tiis
country but the best opinion here Is that the IN
temperate character Of the letter would be OF itself
almost certain TO defeat this object Even IL the
circular is accepted genuine, II will evidently do no
good to the cause of Chilli either in this country or In
