The "BIue and Gray" Pavilion.

WASHINGTON, May 2l--The plan pro
posed for the providing Of a pavilion at
Chicago to be called the "blue and the
gray for the veterans Of both armies, in
which war relics could be stored, the vet
Grams to camp in tents to be furnished by
the war department, has received a set
back by the adoption of resolutions at a
recent meeting Of Lincoln post, No. 3, OF
the department of the Potomac, G. A. r.,
setting forth that its members were 0p-
posed to the plan; that the cause Of the
Union soldiers was right; that If any honor

not believer Science alone can show and prove
the reasons and interpret the various settings
Of the light which we have called the word Of
God.
Unless science can answer these questions
and fortify your faith, your foundations were
knocked from under your feet by the questions
themselves.
Investigation discloses errors, and the result
OF investigation may tend to undermine some
of the traditional opinions regarding the in
spiration of the Bible. The oldest texts are the
ones which contain the most errors and are the
most inconsistent. But what harm does 1t do il
errors are foundg They are trivial errors, and
they do not affect the doctrine OF Christianity
nor any principle Of its practice.
No errors have ever been discovered that at
all disturb the faith and practice which consti.
tute the word of God. Did Moses write the
Pentateuchi continued DR.. Briggs. Some poo.
pie say II he didn't it wasn't inspired. Now, II
know anything about Moses, he didn't write
the Pentateueh. [I4aughterl And il ! know
anything about inspiration, it was inspired
The only place IN which we get evidence that
Moses did not write the Pen@teuch is in the
