DR.. PELL ON HIGHER CRITICISM.
lie Tells ofthe Bible and Its Glorious
Truths

Rev Or Edward Leigh Pell preached
al Centenary Methodist church on sun
dav incoming Dr. Pell addressed hm-
self chiefly 10 the subject OF higher crit
ieism he dwelt chiefly upon the admitted
fact that much OF the Bible appears
hopelessly OBSCURE fact which ne de-
clared Is the modern ratonalisuc critic $
rsisOn d'etre.
10 looking for difficulties the obscure
passages OF the Bible are legion, but
tatqe are d few facts concerning the
Bible itself which will account for many
Of these and a few facts concerning our
selves which will account for as many
more Among the former Is the com
prehensiVenes of the Bible. II TINS
Book saws one. is a message from God
10 me. then I ought 10 be able 20 under
stand It. But the Bible is more than
that II speaks not TO one only, but
10 a vast audience.
DR. Peil called attention 10 the fact
that the Bible is the result OF an effort
Of spiritual men. guided by the Holy
Spirit 20 convey 20 the world the high
est spiritual truths by means Of a clumsy
human language. Did you ever sec
q lover he asked. that could find words
I'm our poor tongue 10 tel his lover
How much less can God, with so clumsy
a vehicle. convey 10 us an adequate idea
Of his love"
After discussing several other facts
which account for many OF the obscure
ties OF the Bible IT. Pei said: The
idea az the bottom OF our modern criti-
clsm OF the destructive type Is that the
human brain Is the sun OF the universe;
that mans Ftad is head above all
thincs: that 10 Is the supreme court
from which there Is no appeal, that the
intellect r. the sole discoyerer of truth
and scholaq~hip SIS sole guardian and
guide.
This world Is crammed with truths that
never vet opened UP 70 pure intellect
The power which the critic claims for
his mind belongs 10 God alone. Mortal
man IS not provided with a pair OF self
adjustable tongs capable OF grasping
whatever exists You may have a pair
OF material tongs-hands grasp mate
rial things; YOU may have a pair OF in
tellectual tongs. 20 grasp facts YOU NAV
have q pair OF spiritual tongs, 20 grasp

spiritual truth with your Intellectual
tongs any more than YOU can seize a

You can no more rick q spiritual truth

Of the critic which has led him to the

nc mind alone Is capable Of dealing with

CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Services i'm Memory OF Judge Coleman.
The Crops and Politics.

CUMBERLAND CO., VA, July 4.-Spe-
eial.-This has been an unusually busy
week with everybody in this section.
With a fine rain the first Of the week,
the farmers were kept busy replanting
tobacco, ana then, while the land was IN
good order. both corn aud tobacco hAd
TO be worked. In addition 10 this, three
or four thTeshing machines started Ope-
rations in this vicinity, ana threshlng-
wheat time is always busy time, ana,
/ might add a disagreeable time also.
The yield is fairly good, although the
very dry weather of early June caused
some of the crops TO dry up before thor
oughly maturing. The oat harvest also
began last week. and the yield Of this
crop was also cut short by dry weather.
The tobacco crop. the one crop that
brings the farmers any money. IS nothing
like as forward as those of the two pre-
ceeding years, nor Is II at all regular
in its growth yet | predict a better crop
Of the weed than we have had In this
section for several years The Irregular
ity i'm its growth is due TO Door seasons
for planting and the ravages Of the cut
aud wire worms, both Of which have
been worse than usual.
This county has had two courts I'm ses-
sion this week, and this was something
rather unusual Owing to the sickness
and death OF former Circuit Judge Sam
ue r. Coleman, there was no Circuit
Court for some time. Last week the
new circuit judge, General Hundley. of
Amelia. held a special term for the
transaction Of important cases. While
the Circuit Court was in session the reg
ular County Court was also held, but with
very little business before the latter.
The day, however, was attractive, and
a large crowd was present 90 do honor
TO the late Judge Coleman, in cOmmemo-
ration of whom exercises were held on
Tuesday. quite a number Of speeches
were made on this occasion and suitable
resolutions passed.
Judge Coleman was a great fayOrte
with the Cumberland people Of all
classes.
Just at present political news is not
much in evidence. but / occasionally hear
a hint or so, which leads me 10 think
that the "slate" for next springs cleo
tion IS made up already. The teachings
OF The Times on this important subject
is bearing fruit The people are getting
more and more Disguised with this
SLATE" business and rightly think that
the time has come for them. tho people,
10 have more say In the selection Of Off
GERS, as well AS In election of them. This
feeling Is evinced by some of the more
recent conventions. and more than one
slate will be broken before another
year rolls around.
