LECTURES CHRISTIANS
FOR NEGLECTING BIBLE
Or. WiIett Says the Book Has Stood the
Test of Higher Criticism.

DETROIT. Mich, Oct I'm a SER
mon at the Northwood Ward Congrega-
tional church tonight DIR. Herbert L. Will
lett, of the University of Chicago and
dean of the Disciples of Christ PUBLISHING
house, severely criticised church members
and protesting Christians for their igno-
rance of the Bible.
Are our traditional teachings true or
do they need repair?' he asked. Higher
criticism has attempted to answer that
question in the affirmative, but without
subtracting one iota from the value of
the grand and only book. 1t has on the
other hand, added to its value and shown
its supremacy
You feel guilty if you are asked if
you have read some of the current authors
ana you must confess apologetically that
you have not. Did it ever occur to you
That you have read nothing or such an in
significant part of the book which you
profess by being a Christian to be the
hght OF your life and the guide for your
EFFORT! III there are untruths in the BIZ
pie 1t Is pretty near time that we should
know them: The Bible should be sub
mitted to literary criticism But for
tunately it can stand the most minute
scrutiny.
The difficulty caused by persecution or
perhaps ridicule was nothing to the de-
tails of higher or lower criticism. 1t has
come out without blemish as the great
est OF all BOOKS and yet you do not read
1t. In England, in Scotland in all the
netherlands, our forefathers read the Ri-
bic in their families. Those who do that
In this country are considered old-fash-
toned.

Roberts views, as a practical criminal
agent, upon certain details CT the "Ad-
ventures before quoting what the ia
nous ex-commiSsioner of police has to
say regarding Holmes gibes at the
methods Of the regular force tsSt-
1t implies no disparagement of Dr..
Doyle's art" he says, that in the
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes the
element of exaggeration is seldom
plifies this in a notable way. To an
expert, at all events, the story of
Moriarty's tracking Holmes to Switz-
erland is preposterous."
Sir Robert goes on: 'In this coun-
try, an accused person must without
the slightest delay, be brought before
magistrate But, in the Study in Scar
let we are told that Jefferson Hope
was to be put before the magistrate
in the course of week. In The Man
With the Twisted Lip the police at
Bow street hush the thing up appar-
emily without the intervention of a
magistrate at ALL And in The Sign of
Four the closing scene reminds us of
one of Dickens bagman stories. Jona-
than Small makes Quartette with our
two frineds and the Bow Street officer,
whose prisoner he is, in the Baker
street lodgings we know so WELL and
ensconced in comfortable chair, with
glass of spirits and water at hand,
he spends pleasant hour in telling
the story of his crime. And even this
is capped by DR.. Watson's being al
lowed to carry away the treasure
chest, the corpus of the crime, which
is supposed to contain jewels of price
less value. He conveys it in a cab to
the house of his fiancee, and in her
presence he breaks it open with
poker!" And thus the practical de-
tective goes on at some length.
Evidently, however, Sir Robert An
derson does not take Holmes gibes at
the expense of Scotland Yard with
great seriousness. There is a wide
difference" he says, "between the
work of the responsible police officer,
whose business il is to bring criminals
to justice, and the work of the private
detective who has merely to ascer-
tain facts and to solve seeming mys-
teries But the difference is not so
vital as that which distinguishes the
fapcies of the novelist from the facts
of real life. He must be poor sort of
creature who cannot solve his own
problems. And it is delightful to no
tice how accurately the Sherlock
Holmes keys invariably fit the Sher-
lock Holmes locks, and how invariably
his two and two make four But in
real life keys are apt to get mixed or
nislaid, and two and two have some
times way of making twenty-five;

WOMEN TURN THE
HOSE ON EACH OTHER
Are Severely Drenched as Result of
Neiqhborhood Quarrel.


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 49,
Mrs. Rose Desmond, 1719 Lake street,
secured a warrant from Judge Fritz
yesterday for the arrest of John Doe"
Brignoli, her next door neighbor, on a
charge of disturbing the peace. The
two families have not been on speaking
terms for months, and to prevent daily
quarrels fence twelve feet high was
erected recently between the two
houses.
Mrs. Desmond says she heard some
thlng tapping on the roof of her house,
and on going outside she saw the an
noyance was caused by Brignoli's feet.
She procured her hose and played it on
the roof till Brignoli was forced to beat
nasty retreat. Brignoi told his wife,
and to get even with Mrs. Desmond she
played the hose over the fence for some
minutes, till Mrs. Desmond could stand
1T no longer, and, grabbing her hose.
she turned a stream of water over the
fence into the Brignoli premises.
The two women stuck to their posts
on opposite sides of the fence till they
were forced to quit for fear of being
drowned. Mrs. Desmond wants to have
the law on Brignoli for inducing his
wife to disturb her peace by playing
the hose on her.
