1.-THE ERRORS OF SOLOMON"

Editor Statesman:
The statement that the little rector
who seems to have a monopoly Of the
Unions Sunday sermon column, made
in his usual Sunday squib would
think be generally accepted. 1t is to
the effect that he ''rejoices in the err
rors of Solomon IT, as one might be
led to suppose from the general char
acter of his article and from much
Of his writing, he conceives of these
errors as those Of egOtism and self
assertion regardless Of the truth-he
certainly does rejoice in such errors.
THE Bible as Literature seems to
be the title of his discourse and the
writer Of this article would really like
to know what are some of the char
acteristics Of the Bible as literature.
is it not one Of the elements of any
good literature that it should be writ
ten in a style betting the subject
matter? The burlesque should not be
written in the style Of the sermon,
vice-yersa, neither should the most
serious things Of life be treated in
critical style.
By many truth is also considered an
essential quality Of good literature
Is cur friend sure that the reader of
the Old Testament finds in Sampson
only the Jewish pugilist; in Esther
only the diplomat? Do not most of us
admit that David Jonah, Ruth and
Solomon were Misunderstanding of
the earth. 1t takes no great amount
of symbolic Interpretation to arrive at
this fact. The question can indeed be
asked. Is the Bible less divine be-
cause more human? Do not most Of
us believe that the Bible stands on
it's own merits? Let us hear more OF
its merits.
Another admirable quality Of good
literature, is that it adheres TO the
subject matter The denial of the
inspiration of the Bible seems really
to be the subject of this article en-
titled The Bible as Literature" Was
it not coincidence that two of our
preachers should have been discours-
ing on the subject last Sabbath? The
other taking more pasitive view. in
his exposition of the life and thought
of that great theologian and believer
il the inspiration of the Bible-John-
athan Edwards. What has our cred
ulous people seeking guidance from
supposed legitimate sources to do with
this confusion of doctrine? Is it no,
indeed strange, to quote the words Of
our Wise Man, That the gospel sur
wives III spite of the preachers"

speeches for publication in the Con-
gressional Record, and doing all other
work that requires any broad knowl-
edge of public affairs.
However, Senator Ankeny appears
to be quite well satisfied to keep his
present secretary, A. F. Slater, on
the regular government allowance of
$4,000 a year and to take the $4,000 a
wear for himself He feels no doubt
that after paying out not less than
5000, 900 in his eight years pursuit of
the senatorship it is time to begin re-
coupling his heavy expenditures. Some
members of congress by casting an
anchor to windward" at opportune
moments have been able to amass
large fortunes within few years, and
Senator Ankeny with his natural
thrift should be able to do as we'll in
this line as the best of them with
such big jobs as the Panama canal
appropriation and the proposed ship
subsidies in the hands of congress
But to start with the senator proposes
to draw his own salary at least and tO
make it go as far as possible in meet
| ing his expenses at the national cap
! ital.
Then if everything goes we'll he may
| be able in the course of time to &C
cumulate enough money to justify him
in breaking his record by erecting
some sort of a business building in
Walla Walla as a monument TO his
public spirit and enterprise.
