DISCUSSES OLD TESTAMENT.
Interesting Sermon by Rev. II. H.
GOWen In Trinity Church.

The Rev. II. II. Gowen preached last
night In Trinity parish church on Inc
Moral Difficulties of the Old Testament.
In opening he said:
Whence comes our moral sense4 II
the answer Ia the conscience, We ask.
whose conscience Who is to be our
standard? or We put II nationally IL II
France or Germany. England or America
which shall give the rule we seek2 We
come at last TO the answer that II Is the
enlightened conscience OF civilized man
which has been formed by the Bible.
"if this be the case, II Is evident that
the teaching OF the Bible. OF which the
Old Testament IL part, cannot have had
an immoral tendency, and when men al
lege moral difficulties In the Old Tesla
ment. they can but mean that there are
lurking here and there Incidents ana con-
ceptions which are contrary to the moral
instincts of the present day. This makes
the answer from the Christian point Of
view resolve itself into a proper under
standing OF what the Old Testament is
intended 10 he To us
"At the outset We discern a class OF
difYiculties which are not properly TO be
esteemed such. namely, the record OF
Providential visltations which belong to
the story of life as u passes before our
eyes today. We cannot assume the ONCE
of Judge Involved I'm the attempt TO vim
dictate the ways of Divine Providepce.
Gods ways are past finding out, and
those ways In Scripture are part OF the
great mystery of life which Ia being
enacted today.
Again the fact that the evil acts of
evil men are In the Bible plainly descrtb-
ed ought to make no difficulty. The world
Of the Bible Is n real world. and Il sets
before va the sober truth OF our evil
state with a homely plainness the need
OF which the world has not yet outgrown.
The real source OF difficulty Is In the APP
parent Divine approval of certain acts
which our present moral sense stamps as
wrong.
'fThe general answer to this charge lies
I'm right knowledge Of the function Of
the Old Testament. It Is. first. the rec
ord of a revelation given gradually in
human history IT Is. in the next place.
only the frst half OF this revelation re
quirlnR the New Testament 10 give II the
necessary context Thus the Christian
does not claim II rs perfect In FIRST. its
nant had been fautless. then should no
place have been found for secondly. or
second. IN it's conception OF human duty
Christ expressly asserts this ia the Ser
mon on the ..sount
There is no Hnalitv about the ethics Of
fhe oii Testament. II shows IA "a people
under the Divine education led gradually
from polythetsm go heno theism and from
henotheism 90 mouothelsm. led gradually
from gross and revolving worship 10 a
worship spiritual and pure "
The preacher then enlarged on this
point by describing the old Testament
hjots upon human society via pois s-amv
slavery, hl00dshed and human sacrifice
showing how hv no violent and revolution
arv measure but by a gradual moral cvo-
tuition the way was prepared fer the pres
ent Christian standard
In conclusion the value ~ the Old TIES.

A Ti.h Thnt Ents puckr.

Among the queer things in India is
the fish that eats ducks. When one
misses some ducks and is told by the
moorgywalla that a fish swallowed
them, one begins to think there can
really be no limit to the lies the Aryan
brother can tell. But early one morn.
ing, soon after the ducks had been let
out and had, as usual made their way
to the tank, on one side of which
stands an indigo assistants bungalow,
the old khansama eXcitedly announced
that the big fish had just caught an
other duck and swallowed it and could
not keep down with it. The gun was
at once got hold of, and after watching
the antics of the fish trying to keep
down under water he was shot. He
proved to be a large boali and had ac-
tually got the entire bird down, with
only the legs just showing in his
mouth.

ing made in the negotiations for exten-
sions in the company's lines in the city

The talk of the extension of this line
to connect with the lines in the north
ern part of the state so that there will
be trolley line extending clear across
the state from north to south is still
N evidence, although no formal state
ment will be made by any of the Off
GERS of the company. During the COM
ing winter the matter will be agitated,

prabable that complete plans for a

Toledo will be the northern terminus
of the line, although 1t is probable the

WILL END AT CLEVELAND.
This is one of the largest trolley line
projects now under serious consider.
alton and the road, If built, will be
unique in some ways. Through trains
of three or four and perhaps even
more cars will probably take the place
of the single car plan followed on ex-
listing suburban trolley roads. BY this
plan there would be n motor car that
would draw the other cars of the train.

der consideration that there would be
any large amount of through passen-
ger business between Cleveland and

apt to care to spend so much time in n
trolley car as would be required to go
from one of the cities to the other. 1t
is thought, however, that the trolley
road would do large light freight
business because of the possibility of
transporting freight through the streets
