II we consider it as literature and as
means or culture do we not thereby place
1t on a level with other books and take
away all special regard for it as the word
of Gcd? We might study Shakspeare or
Milton or Dante under the very same head

same way from Bible and classics alike?
Not in the way of hostile criticism, but
merely to show what is contained in such
study OF what we have heretofore regard
ed as holy-nay, as q divine book permit
me to refer to an article on ".The Bible as
Literature" in a recent issue of a bright
ana up-to-date periodical published under
communions. This article begins by depre-
catlng the common tendency to think of the
Bible as one book. We should not expect
TO hnd unity nor even connectedness of pur-
pose in 1t, says the author, for it is not one
DOCK, but collection of sacred literature.
written by many and various men during
a period OF fifteen hundred years Now, of
course, any one will admit that if God were
the author of the Bible, or even parts of it,
amanuenses there would still be unity and
connectedness though the writer's were sep
arated by ten thousand years and their
language and style were as divergent as the
poles. If God is the same yesterday. to-
day and forever, there could not but be
the most perfect unity in what He revealed
at different times. The various books of
revelation would fit together as did the
stones of Solomons Temple. prepared before
they were brought to the sacred mount, and
the result would be. as then, glorious tenn
pie in which men of many minds would find
the presence of the Lord. If there is no
such unity, God did not give the book. men
wrote it, and it would be very hard to tell
the difference in character between one of
the books constituting the Bible and such a
book, as let us say, the limitation of
Christ
But the article in question goes further
and quotes with approval the saying of
Professor Drummond that the Bible is not
the cause, but the effect. of religion. AS
the effect of their religion men have sung
psalms and written prophetic aspirations
and the result is our Bible. Now what does
this involve? Where is there any room for
direct inspiration? Manifestly there is none

THE BIBLE rs LITERATURE.
some of the Things Involved in Much
of the Recent Bible study.

TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal.
II is well known that the Bible study of
to-day is very different thing from that
or the past; and it IS right that it should
be so. No progress can be made by reit-
Grating the sayings Of the church fathers.
The dark ages were not times of careful
inquiry concerning such things as the
church considered essentials of faith. nor
was there great deal of true nationality in
those times of superstition. Ours is an age
or investigation, of rational inquiry The
spirit of Interrogation has radically changed
all natural sciences, and it has now invaded
the church. That citadel and bulwarl< of
all religion, the Bible, is asked to give an
account of itself, and under the keen eve
of scientific inquiry 1t does not appear to
be making good the divinity which has been
claimed for it. But would it not be well
to remember that when the mind first
breaks away from dogmatism and blind
faith 1T becomes expressively iconoclastic?
The youth who first begins to doubt what
he has heretofore believed on the authority
of his elders soon becomes much greater
skeptic than he will be when older and
wiser. Christendom is in the same condi-
ton as the youth. Inquiry and doubt con-
corning the plenary inspiration of the sa-
creu scriptures IS in its early youth. 1t
does not take a very wise man to see that
many Of the evidences of merely human
workmanship in the Bible will be differently
interpreted when that inquiry is older, less
dominated by the youthful spirit of agnosti-
cism and wiser. The radically different at
titude of the churches towards the Bible is
not so apparent even in higher and lower
criticism as it is in Bible study The lead

ANTIQUITY OF GOLD MINING.

ton but that which is gained by experience.
Sin is merely that which it is unwise to do.
All consideration of wrong-doing as viola
ton of Gods express command is ObViated,
for He has not given commands What
was written as the will of God was merely
His will it revealed itself to the inner
result of some ones religion--is not bind
ing on him whose inner voice does not re-
veal the same formula as divine law. Then,
too, 1t follows that men in this age may
have more of spiritual wisdom than those
semi-barbaroUs tribes of Bible times. Con-
Sequently the writings of our present-day
leaders of Christian thought should con-
tain more of the spirit of inspiration than
is to be found in the Bible if that book is
only the result of religion And in a thousand
years from now men ought to be able to so
improve on the New Testament, even. to
supersede it's use excepting as an interest
ing bit of ancient literature.
But If this is our Bible, merely a compila-
ton of some of the results of religion dur
ing the past. where is there any water of
age for the storm-tossed? Who and what
is God. and where can He be found? How
can His will be certainly known? In answer
to all these questions the man who longs
for definite truth 'as the hart pants for
the water brooks is referred to man This
or that holy and God-fearing man has said
and written many consOling and inspiring
things But God, who created us-God, for
whom the pure soul longs as for its vital
breath-cannot be known or found. He is
but vague, indefinite, formless power
which cannot speak TO the children begotten

cannot make Himself known to them, while

they need to know of Him. He can only

religion proceeds from man, not from God
And as man from himself evolves to higher
and purer conditions he begins to receive
ever truer revelation.
In future article shall try to show that
all revelation has at the same time divine
ard human side-that God who is a divine
lover and thinker, can give TO and through
the basest of men revelation directly from
Himself, and that the evolution consists
in being able to see, as men grow wiser
within the human story as the husk the
kernel of pure, positive and definite reveal

KICKING ON GROVER
WESTERN MEN WANT SOME OF HIS
WORK UNDONE.
Forestry Reservation Order o. the Late Un-
Iamen ted Brings Large Delegation of
the Western Members OF Congress, and
Others, to Protest Before Secretary
Bliss and Ask an Order of Disa 6oresta-
fion-stufYed Prophet. as Always, Treated
the Citizen As a CuIprit and Smote Him
Without Warning.

Washington. March S1-Secretary OF
the Interior Bliss gave hearing TO a
large congressional delegation today
who desired to protest against the for
estry reservation order issued by Presi-
dent Cleveland on February % last, set
ting aside large tracts in various states.
Those present included Senators Wilson
and Turner Of Washington, Clark and
Warren OF Wyoming, Carter and Mantle
of Montana, Cannon Of Utah and Petit
grew OF South Dakota. Representative
Mondell OF Wyoming, ex-senator Moody
Of South Dakota, Land Commissioner
Hermann and Director Wolcott OF the
geological survey also were present.
The general proposition urged was
that the proclamation OF February - be
either revoked in toto or its operations
be made as to the character OF the lands
embraced in the reserved tracts. 1t was
claimed that the act OF President Cleye-
land was in direct violation of section a
OF the act OF March 8, 1891, TO repeal
thinner culture laws" and of the general
lind Office regulations, both requiring,
before any land is set aside as forest re-
serves by proclamation. that due and
satisfactory notice be given by posted
notices in the vicinity and publica ton in
the newspapers. Senator Pettigrew de-
nled the order as contrary to the law
and called for the entire revocation of it
but stated that he had no objection TO
another proclamation being issued later
20 meet necessary requirements and re-
specting the rights and interests of the
people.
Senator Wilson characterized the or
der as "ghas;ly mistake" and called
particular attention TO the Washington
reserve, which comprises 5000, 900 acres.
He said that almost 100000 acres in all
had been reserved in his state. in viola
ton Of all rights and without notice to
any one. In one county alone embraced
within the order there were 1850 miner
al locations on which aggregating 81
900 900 in value had been done. The
proclamation, he said, took away all
rights, thuss confiscating all such prop
erty. So far as Washington state was
concerned the reservation was not need
ed as there was perpetual water sup
ply derived through the great glaciers
and an annual rainfall averaging 100
inches. He said he was not opposed TO
proper and legal reserves but they
should not be created in disregard of all
rights. Senator Carter advocated the
suspension OF the order, pending an in
vestigation Of the class of lands thus
brought in.
