BIBLE USED BY CROMWELL.
Holy Writ in His Day Compare
with That of the Present.

=
Cromwell's Bible was not what the Bible
Is today. Criticism, comparative, 'nrono-
logical, pathological, historical. had not Inn
paired its position as the direct word Of
God, single book, one and whole. one
page az inspired as another. one text as
binding az another. Faith in the literal
construction OF the word was pushed to
an excess as mich resembling true SUPER
stition or overbelief as anything imputed
to the Catholics. Science had set up no
reign of law, nor limited a doubt on the
proba bilities OF miraculous Intervention.
No physical theories had dimmed faith in
acts Of specific creation: the aerial per-
spective and vistas of time were very prim-
tive. Whatever happened, great or small,
was due to wrath or favor from above.
They were tormented by no misgivings.
as Ranke says. how "the secrets of divine
things could be brought into such direct
connection with the complications of hui
man affairs" The God to whom Crom-
well In heart as in speech appealed was
no stream Of tendency" no Supernatural
istic hypothesis" but the Lord Of Hosts OF
the Old Testament. The saints and Puri-
tans were the chosen people. All the de-
nunciations of the prophets against the OPP
pressors of Israel were applied to the let
ter against bishops and princes. And Moses
and Joshua, Gideon and Barak. Samson
and Jepthah, were the antiques Of those
who now In Christian world thought
themselves called like those heroes of old
time, to stop the mouths of lions and turn
to flight the armies Of the aliens--John
Morley in the Century.

CASH WOULD NOT BALANCE.


Test OF the TELEGRAPH In Correcting
Errors of the Bank Of England.
Years ago. when the electric telegraph
was new and mystery to the masses,
there came trouble one Saturday night In
the Bank Of England. The business OF the
day had been closed, and the balance was
not right. There was deficit OF just flOo.
1t was not the money, but the error, that
must be found For some of those clerks
there could be no sleep until the loop had
been taken up. All that night and all Sun
day, squad Of clerks were bury. 1t
seemed az II the old lady Of Threadneedic
was surely gone from the vaults, but no
pen-mark told where.
Meantime a young clerk on his way nome
Sunday evening fell to thinking Of his busy
companions at the bank, and suddenly a
suspicion Of the truth flashed across his
mind. On the following morning he hur-
ried to his post Of duty. and told his chief
Of what he suspected. The mistake might
have occurred in packing some boxes Of
specie which had been sent to Southampton
for shipment to the West Indies. The chief
acted upon the suggestion. Here was an
opportunity to test the powers Of the tele-
graph--lightning against steam, and steam
with forty-eight hours Of the start. Soon
the telegraph asked man In Southampton.
HAS the ship Mercator sailed?'
The answer came back. "Just Weighing
anchor" ~
stop her in the queens NAME" flashed
back the lightning.
''She Is stopped" was returned.
"'Have on deck certain boxes (marks
given). weigh them carefully, and let me
know the result" telegraphed the chief.
The thing was done. and one box was found
to be somewhere about one pound and ten
ounces avoirdupois heavier than its mates.
Just the weight Of hundred sovereigns!
"AII right! Let the ship go! The West
India house was debited with the f100 and

IN WOMANS TEMPLE
IS A CIGAR STAND.

RFTER long-drawn fight hsting
several years, the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union has thrown
up the sponge on the issue Of re-
tanning the great temple on -
Sale street, Chicago, and the organization
will soon give up all claim to an interest
in the building. This is the structure the
erection and maintenance OF which have
caused such dissension In the unions rank,
and which threatened at one time to Grip
pie, If not wreck, the organization which
believes in putting down the rum trainc
1t is one of the finest ONCE buildings IN
the city, and was built upon land owned
by Marshall Field.
Tho originator of the idea of erecting
thereon a temple for the union was
Mrs. Matilda b. Carse, who for nearly .
quarter OF q century was the leading spirit
OF the organization. The completion OF the
really ornamental pile, the dedication OF
willard hall, as the principal assembly
room Is called. and the installing Of the
union in spacious rooms. was great
triumph for Mrs. Carse, for all this was
not accomplished without great opposition
from certain factions in the organisation.
The financing OF the enterprise was also
Mrs. Carse's work. and It was here that
her calculations went awry. Her plans
were beautiful on paper. but the hgures re-
fused to como her way when settling day
arrived. For 1--WE years she has fought her
fight and tried by every proper means to
raise the money for the heavy interest, but
she was handicapped heavily by those who
had from the frst frowned upon the build
ing, and the money refused to come. In
the last two national conventions OF the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union she
was badly beaten, and now she appears to
be completely repudiated so far A the
building Is concerned.
The headquarters, as was decided ut the
national convention in Seattle, are to be
moved to the willard home. In Evanston.
and already the temple shows signs OF
passing into the hands Of men who may
be less temperate but who are better imam
ciers
willard hall Is to be transformed into
bank, and in the rotunda space has been
rented for a cigar stand. It Is only
question OF time perhaps before 1t will also
contain a place wherein may be bought
drinks which not only cheer but inebr1ate.
When the building was first put up, an
attempt was made to prevent tenants from
smoking even in their oflicss, but this was
afterward modified. Great CONSERVATION
once was caused by the discovery that
room had been rented to the agent of an
out-of-town brewing concern, and again
when It was found that the temple dyna-
mos were furnishing electric light to two
saloons across the alley. Mrs. Carse has
not entirely given up tho fort As her pri-
vate ONCE she occupies wooden structure
situated on. top of tho temple roof and
reached by a circuitous stairway after the
elevators have carried you as far as they
can.
