THE CRIMSON TIDE,

Some of our modern theologians who
want to give God lessons about the best
way to save the world tell US they do not
want any blood in their redemption.
They want to take this horse by the bit

tell this rider from Bozrah to go around
some other way. Look out lest ye fall

REdLIff IN LEGION.
The Age Weary of shams and specuia-

what the age wants says a recent
writer, Is reality. II Is tired Of shams and
spscnlatlons. II demands firm ground for
It's beliefs Favorite studies are those
which appeal to the senses rather than 10
the reason. Even mental science, as many
aillrm, must be placed on a material basis
Hence the increasing interest in biology
and in experiments which lay a founda-
uon Tor a rational psychology. Faith
must be practical Ii must rest on evil
dence which appeals 10 the senses rather
than 10 that which is ideal and spiritual
II we Follow the drift Of the times il is
easier 10 be an atheist. an agnostic. a
materiallst or a posltyist than theist
or believer In a living, personal God
For the existence Of the Atter il Is said
there is no scientific basis.
From those who are devoted 10 scientific
studies the demand for a scientific proof
or the being Of God is not unnatural and
yet II IS hard 10 understand why there
should De less hesltancy In recognizing the
s .AII1. OF the emotions than Of the in
tellect less readiness to admit the evil
dence which comes through faith and
works by love than that which rests on
demonstrations which appeal only To the
senses II certain studies have suffered
from this characteristic Of the age the
gain in other studies more than PAYS for
the loss. We have been compelled 10 re-
examine the grounds Of our faith Ii is
no slight thing to know that they are
Nor Is ii any disadvantage that charac-
ter and deeds are at present more con-
vincing testimony to the genuineness OF
ones faith than words that the age cares
more Tor what we are than for what we
profess TO be. Why should IL be thought
unreasonable If an age which seeks after
reality in all its studies and experiments
should ask the Church TO prove its right
to be by being what it claims TO be? 1t is
not creed In agreement with the words
OF the Master which has power with the
multitude, but the lives OF the men and
women who accept that creed. Ii Is not a
professed sympathy with Christ that wins
men 10 the Gospel, but the exhibition OF

tics TO dispense these treasures, no impo3-
Ing ritual to charm the senses and deaden
conscience. II demands no more from men
than II lis willing to give them. 1t asks FOR
no respect or confidence which IL cannot
justify. II Is because the Protestant
Churches have tried TO be just what they
profess TO be that they have accomplished
so much, have brought such unnumbered
blessings into the world. 1t IS because
they are so fun Of persons who are an
xiously seeking 10 know how they may
best meet the demand OF the age for reali-
ty that they submit 10 criticism and By
their deeds present such Irresistible claims
to honorable recognition. Not insensible
to the value OF creeds or formal state
ments OF belief the Church as whole
places little reliance on them IN its efforts
to win men for Christ. II trusts in the
consecrated earnestness OF those in whom
Christ has revealed himself as the hope
OF glory and 10 whom ne has given eternal
life II IS because the Church has real

are given which nothing can destroy. To

The Bangor House Has Narrow Escape
from Destruction.

Bangor, March There was mar
row escape from bad fire at the Bangor
House this evening. The blaze started
in the attic and burned down through
the ceiling of a room occupied by the
help before it was discovered. Two fire
alarms were rung in, which brought out
nearly the entire department. Mayor
Beale, the owner of the hotel, with the
assistance of others, fought the flames
till the firemen arrived. The smoke
poured through the roof, ana it looked
at one time as though the top stories
would soon be in flames. Owing to good
work by the tiremen the fire was finally
extinguished. 1t is not known what
caused it. The exact loss cannot be
told now. Several rooms in the top
story were somewhat damaged. The
loss may possibly reach $1,000.
