people have held toward the Bible
is as interesting as a study OF the
book itself. When the books INST
came out they were circulated among
the people, but in the course of two
hundred years the church took them
and called them holy and inspired and
then they were taken away from the
people for 1000 years. The people
then looked on the church as intalii.
BILE. The reformation OF the sixteenth
century gave the Bible back to the
common people and II was looked up.
IN by them with awe and reverence.
IL had become to be the infallible
Bible instead of the infallible church
I'VE are coming to look on the Bible
as a purely natural product. | would
like TO see il printed in separate
books and put in the lin aries as liter
ature. Some of these books would
rise and others would sink into obliv
ion. When we come TO this idea the
Bible a be safely used in public
schools. but not before. II is a pity
this can not be so, for there are SO
many illusions to 1t II. all literature.
When teachers and people generally
can look on the Bible as the natural
product and beliefs of an intensely re-
ligious people then only can it be used
in the public schools Of the land.
The Bible Is the greatest repository
OF religious experience in the world
II is an expression of the endeavor OF
the Jewish people to purify their relig-
ion. The language of the Bible has
become the language of worship. We
are. each one of us. consciously or IN.
consciously, making u own Bibles
today. 1t makes no difference wheth
er the thoughts come from the Prophet
Isaiah or the Poet Whittier. Nine
might not be a fit Bible for you. but
each one is building up his w In
spired literature is only that which
can lift up and raise Us 10 a higher
view of life.
IF you will look the world over you
will see that just In proportion as the
old view of the Bible prevails the
people are hostile and warning. but as
the new idea comes in the dividing
lines are disappearing and people are
shaking hands across chasms which
were once thought impossible. We
do not go to the Bible TO find a de
finite belief. we go TO find the spirit
of faith and hope that will be all suf.
iicient.'
At the conclusion of the services
preliminary steps were taken toward
the organization of a Unity Club for
the promotion of Unitarianism in Lew
istown. This club will meet at pri.
yate houses and discuss questions
along the lines of liberal beliefs and
as often as it can be done invite Uni
tartan ministers to come in and hold
services. Those interested feel that
the time has not yet come TO organize
a church here, but they hope to be
able to do so at some future time.

MAYOR oARNIEa's DREAM.
Thinks Montana Railroad Will Change
Course to Run to Livingston.


Mayor Charles GARNER. who re-
turned a few days ago from a bust
ness trip to Lewistown and Fergus
county. points, had some interesting
anecdotes to tell of his trip, says the
Livingston Post. The mayor express
ed II as his opinion that il would not
be many years ere the main line from
Lewistown would u down Shields
river to Livingston, as a much more
practical and safer route. especially
in winter, than that through the can
yon of the North fork of the Mus
selshell river. sometimes known as
Sixteen Mile creek. Such a diversion
of traffic would be of inestimable val
ne To Livingston. and would also serve
TO open up the valley Of the Shields
in a manner not ever dreamed OF at
present. besides alfDrdmg direct rail
communication between this city and
Clyde Park. Lat. Minden and points
in Meagher and Fergus counties on
the line of travel TO Lewistown.
Lewistown, in the opinion OF Mayor
GARNER. has a great future before II,

type that insures unfailing and plen-

in the afternoon he stood in the par
lor of the Midland hotel and shook
hands with citizens who presented
themselves, among them being many
former residents Of Indiana.
At the meeting in Kansas City, Kas.,
reference was again made TO Senator
Fairbanks availability as a presiden-
tial candidate. 1t came from State
Senator Cubbison, who presided over
the meeting, and was in the following
term:
"If President Mckinley had lived,
Senator Fairbanks would almost GER
tainly have been the presidential NOM
inee at this time, but under the cir
cumstances, all we can do for him now
is to elect him to the vice-presidency,
and then nominate and elect him presi-
dent four years hence"
In response, Senator Fairbanks spoke
in high terms of President Roosevelt,
saying that among all the splendid
men who had occupied the high Office
of president, none had manifested a
higher purpose than Theodore Roose-
welt, to serve we'll all the people of the
entire country" He expressed his con-
viction that Kansas would record her
potential judgment in support of the
president'st cause at the November
election, and continuing, he said:
Great issues are before us. They
invite our fullest and most conscien-
tious consideration, to the end that we
may decide wisely and we'll They
should be considered, not in a narrow
spirit, but in a broad, generous, patri-
otto way. There should enter into
their contemplation no suggestion of
either passion or prejudice. Our sole
purpose should be to reach that conclu-
sion, which is in harmony with our
highest and best interests. We should
support those policies which, after due
and careful consideration, are most
commended to our judgment, AMI we
should give our support to that party
which will best administer our nation
al affairs.

PRESSING ATTACK
ON KUROPATK|N
Fate of Russian Army Now Rests
Upon Left Wing.
LAO YANG REPORTED ON FIRE
russian General Is Falling Back
Upon Mukdcn, and st. Peters,
burg Believes He VIII FL
naIIy BE Successful.

The lack Of definite information
from the seat of war continues up to
Saturday morning, and nothing further
regarding the situation at Lao Yang
is known beyond the fact that Kuro-
patkin has withdrawn the main por-
ton of his forces to the north or right
bank Of the Taitse river, and that, ac-
cording to the latest advices, the ac-
ton is still in progress.
There is disinclination in st. Peters
burg to believe that Lao Yang has
been abandoned, and at the same time
it is declared that the position. Kuro-
patkin now occupies is the one he had
prepared and fortified, and where he
has all along planned To make his sec
ond stand, instead of directly in and
around Lao Yang, with the river at
his back, as had been believed. 1t is
thought by Russian experts that in at
lacking Kuropatkin's present defenses
the Japanese are facing an almost i'm
possible task, especially with their
forces divided by the river.
Advices reaching Toxic say that the
Taitse is flooded and can not be ford
GU, anu luSAc1OlO lhc liNSA OO
comes an important factor in the gen.
eral scheme of Russian defense.
Dispatches from both Russian and
Japanese sources indicate that the
troops on both sides are jaded and
weary after the many days fighting,
and 1t is pointed out that in conse-
quence, a temporary lull in the active
struggle would not be surprising.
A dispatch received at Toxic says
that great fires are raging at Lao
Yang, believed to result from jap
anese Smelling or from the efforts OF
the Russians to destroy their stores,
preparatory to the evacuation of
Lao Yang, with the additional hope
of injuring the city rs a future JAP
anese base"
The opinion prevails in Toxic that
the Russian casualties in the recent
fighting will reach 10000, while the
Russian losses Of August 81 and Sep
TENDER l are given in official reports
as 5000 killed or wounded.
The report from Marshal Oyama
that he was engaged on Thursday
with the Russian center would indi-
cate that at least portion of Kuro-
patkin's army was still on the south
bank of the Taitse river.
1t is not yet definitely announced
that the Japanese have occupied Lao
Yang
