Rev. Alfred A. Wdght'S Discourse on Whose
Bible Do We Believe p
REV. Mr.. DICK on "THE TEXT BOOK.

The 18th annual convention of the
Rhode Island Sunday School associa-
tion is being held in the First Baptist
church today and was opened at $3.50
o'clock this morning with a large at
tendance of delegates.
The proceedings were opened with
devotional exercises, conducted by Rev
+. A. Balcom Of Saylesville, which con-
sisted Of prayer and hymns. The greet
ing to the delegates was delivered by
Rev. II. NJ. King, ID. D., pastor of the
church, and TO this response was made
by Rev. Wallace Nutting, president of
the convention, who spoke eloquently
OF the need of Sunday school work.
The audience then sang hymn lOI,
and this was followed by Rev. Alfred
A. Wright of Boston, dean OF the Bos-
ton Correspondence school, who spoke
on Whose Bible Do We Believer" The
speaker alluded to the Koran, the book
OF Confucius. the book of Norman and
others. There are many Bibles from
which texts of Scripture are taken.
There is the Bible OF the theologians,
the Bible Of traditional theology in dis
tinction TO the Bible of biblical doc
trine Theology has settled many ques-
tions, and unsettled many others, and
this prompts the question, Whose Bible
do we believe? 1t is sometimes a dan
gerous Thing 10 have doctrine. 1T we
expect a child to go 10 the devil, ne
will go there fast enough, and yet there
are those who believe that child until
born again is damned.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-10-18

The Bible is inspired for him who has
an inspired eye to read IT, We are dis
covering that there is great deal that
is not Of the word OF God, and this we
overturn with the fulcrum of rational
common sense. and have right TO 40
so. People should not be afraid TO be-
lieve what can be proved to be true.
The higher critics have tried 10 prove
many things. but many Of these things
have not yet been proven. God has a
book on this earth. and we can know
IL by obeying the truth of God as we
know IL now. We believe that BlDle
that has proved TO be Gods book.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-10-18

Then there is the Bible of the mis-
understanders, the biggest Bible there
Is in this world. 1t is Gods book and
il is as big as God. And near TO that
Bible is the Bible OF credulity, the
Bible that isn't so. Credulity is be-
lief that has no relation whatever 10
the law of gravitation. Faith always
has respect TO the law of gravitation.
credulity has not. If you are credulous
YOU will believe things that are not so.
We must find out for ourselves whose
Bible we believe, and stick to II until
somebody shakes our faith in II.
Then there is the Bible of insu11-
cient translation. The revised transla-
ton Is far ahead of the King James
version in exactitude. but in spite of
all this there is much that is lacking
in the English translations OF the Bible.
The speaker then referred To several
instances I'm the English translation
which did not convey the true meaning
OF the original. The question is then:
Whose Bible do we Believe?

LETTERS TO JURYMEN.
Judge In HazeIton Shooting Case
Gives Instructions Thereon

WILKESBARRE, PA, February g.
When court opened this morning for the
trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies,
Judge Woodward spoke to the jurors
about receiving letters bearing upon any
point in the trial He said
IF you receive any letters with -refe-
renee TO the trial, whether anonymous or
signed, it is your duty TO hand them over
to the District Attorney, and you must
not allow them to make any impression
upon your mind"
The first witness called to-day was
John Yourshekowitz, one of the Harwood
strikers He testified that the strikers
were unarmed. AT Lattmer The Sheriff
stopped them, hit two men in the front
rank, and tried to shoot his revolver. 1t
snapped twice and then exploded. Right
away there was volley OF shots from
the deputies, and many of the strikers
fell.
Steve Juskow, the man whose arm was
broken and head cut by blows OF a rifle
in the hands of deputy at West Hazle-
ton, swore that at the time of the assault
he was behaving in an orderly manner
and saying nothing. Afterward he said,
the deputies put him i'm the lookup for
two days, and then he was taken TO the
hospital. He was laid up for TWO r,onths.
The evidence of Michael PopsOs, who
followed Juskow, was merely corrobora-
tive of what had already been told about
the shooting at Lattimer.
Three witnesses were heard at the af-
ternoon session, and only one gave evil
dence which was at all new.
Lewis Kitzski told how on arriving at
West Hazleton with the strikers two depu- |
ties seized him by the coat, hustled and !
pushed him around, and tore his shirt |
He said a number of the men were so |
frightened by the action of the deputies /
in threatening them with their guns that |
they ran home and did not march to Lat
timer.
At Lattimer, the witness said, the |
Sheriff asked for the committee. and |
while a man was looking for the three
the Sheriff pulled two fell
lows out of the line and tried to fire his
revolver.
Il started to run at once, and dropped
down behind a little stone, about thirty
yards away. There was volley and
then a lot Of separate shots, and they
came so thick around where l lay that /
'an further and got into a shanty, but
he deputies fired on the shanty and
bullet went through my hat"
On cross-examination he admitted that
he Sheriff had told the strikers to go
lome and that they disobeyed and march
d on TO Lattimer

press their opinion upon the subject. but
upon the urgent request OF several promi-
nent citizens he agreed not TO introduce
the bill until after next court-day, and
furthermore agreed 10 come to Bucking-
ham Courthouse on next court-day and
hear the people discuss the question be-
fore taking any action. But these gen.
tlemen. to whom he had made such fair
promises, were, to put IL mildly. sur
prised to see in the paper several days
ago that Mr.. Blanton had introduced the
bill into the House and had It passed.
So. whether Mr.. Blanton is at court Mon
day or not (Which would be entirely
without purpose now; nay even disa-
greeabie). he will be sure 20 be Informed

THE PROPOSED NEW COUNTY.
Much Opposition To Ii in Pulaski
Local Items.

PULASKI, VA, February 9-(Special)
ing here on court-day yesterday and
adopted unanimously a resolution against
the proposed Tyler county The citizens
from the eastern part of the county,
which would be in the new county, took
the most active part against the move
ment. demanding to remain I'm Pulaski
though farthest from Pulaski City, the
county seat. This was specially true of
those living near the distant village of
ChurchwoOd. Citizens near the town of
Pulaski were not disposed TO press their
views. not desiring TO urge others at
distance from the county seat to remain
in the county unwillingly. but were glad
to see that such citizens wished to re-
main.
The County Court will be in session
most of the week. Only one case was
tried to-day, misdemeanor. Two ne
groes were charged with fighting, and
one was drunk. If we had a chain-gang
in this county, such cases would rarely
occur, and the State would save thou
sands AS it is, the darby. instead Of
serving his county by breaking rocks in
the road, will eat three square meals
day at the States hotel in Pulaski, kept
by Sheriff Carper, and sing psalms and
play cards morn, noon, and night for
thirty days. oh. for retrenchment and
reform in this poor old State.
There are several cases on the docket
for misdemeanor against some young
men who got on lark Christmas and
smashed up lanterns and switches. Sac,
on the Norfolk and Western railroad
between Radford and Dublin. Charge it
to John Barleycorn.
We have delightful weather now. after
a grand ice harvest and royal skating
day and night by the young people.
The health of our town is excellent,
precautions being taken against small |
pox reaching here from Cochran and |
other places.
