THEY FEAR STRIFE.

We mentioned a few days ago
movement, which, under the name Of
the American Bible League, has been
started for the defense Of the Bible
against so-called higher criticism. The
leaders Of that movement are, no doubt,
actuated by the best Of motives, but in
religious circles 1t is feared that It will
start bitter strife, and that mischief
will result II is pointed out that the
higher critics are not, as a rule, con-
troversiallsts They merely state their
position, without endeayorng to force
their conclusions upon others. Now,
1t Is feared they will consider them
selves under the necessity Of fighting
back The Christian world will take
sides. And when the line Is drawn, It
will be found to reveal many surprises.
Men now regarded as orthodox will step
over TO the other side. In short, II Is
feared that the attacks by the League
will lead to a war, In which churches,
and even denominations may be rent
asunder
Probably this forecast Is well found
ed The large part Of Chrstendom that
was led away from Rome by the Refor-
nation, staked all so to speak, upon
the Bible, and upon an infallibe Bible
at that Luther appealed repeatedly
from his ecclesiastical superlors to the
councils and from these to the Bible, as
the only indisputable authority
in matters Of faith and also Of
practice, and that Is to this day the pc.
sitlon Of Professionalism against Rome,
and even against any WORD Of God"
that the Almighty may have been
pleased TO give in this age and gene
ration. Outside the books included
In the volume known as the Bible,
Professionalism reflNes to see any reve-
atlon Of the Divine will And now
comes higher criticism" and boldly as
serts that not only Is the Bible not
infallibe but Il Is a collection Of
myths, borrowed moral rules badly
tullcu, anu lHttItptls SOU WIN ldl9N-
hoods. If that is admitted, Protestant
ism may as wen haul down It's many
g. ont standards and surrender. That
some will do so, cam be- doubted,
should the strife become popular. Those
who have no spiritual experience con-
corning the divine power Of the Word,
will not be able to Withstand a critical
onslaught. When there is no inner
testimony, one OF the corner stones OF
faith Is lacking
The war feared must come sooner
or later, and the honest in heart will
appeal from the assailed Bible to the
divine fountain Of all truth and light,
as the Latter-day Saints do. And they
win receive "A more sure foundation for
their faith than any offered either by
| the Catholic or the Protestant world.

SENATOR sMOoT HOME.

Senator Reed Smoot returned today
from the national capital, and was
warmly welcomed by a host OF friends
Of different political and religious
faiths and opinions. He looked well
and hearty and has gained ten pounds
In weight since he last left this city.
He feels cheerful and confident over
the outlook, and does not show amy
signs Of that worry" which some peo-
pie and papers have imagined he was
suffering. The Senator has been an ac-
tive worker, particularly as a member
Of the committee on pensions and Of the
committee on claims. lie has attended
closely to his work in these
capacities, Notwithstanding his per-
sonal watch Of the proceedings
purportlng 20 be an investigation
Of his right to a seat in the Senate, but
in reality an inquisition into the beliefs
and acts Of the Church OF Jesus Christ
OF Latter-day Saints and OF charges
against some Of Its members, Senator
smoot did not appear anxious to go into
detail IN relation to the good work he
has performed for the benefit Of this
state, nor TO claim what IL due to him
IN that regard and attributed TO others.
We obtained a brief interview from him
which appears on another page Of this
paper, and which gives but partial ac-
count. of bis labors in the Senate, We
are all glad to see him home again and
clasp his hand with a cordial wish for
his ltimate complete success.

DISCUSSING UNITY.


A distinctive feature Of several OF
the denominational general gatherings
Tint VIII be held during this sum
mer, Is the discussion that VIII take
place on the question Of union with 9TH
err religious bodies No less than ten
religious associations are now said 10
be considering such plans, The South
crn Presbyterians have before them a
proposition to unite with the Dutch
branch Of the Reformed church. but
many leaders among them believe that
Southern Presbyterians can come into
union with Northern Presbyterans and
at Mobile viii be considered, therefore,
not alone union with tho Northern body
but general Presbyterian union
scheme, that shall include, It may be,
the half dozen Assemblies Of Reformed,
Associate and others.

PRESS MISREPRESENTATION

The chief promoters Of the religious
crusade against Senator Smoot still try
TO Impress upon the minds OF the pub
lie the falsehood that the gentleman Is
a polygamist. This acts as power
full lrritant to the average church menu
Der. and particularly to those who be-
long to the female clubs and assocla-
tons. The common understanding Of
the meaning Of the term Mormon Is
q man who has many wives How long
It will take TO remove that notion It Is
hard to predict There are still editors
and writer's for the papers and maya
zines who entertain 1t and exhibit their
ignorance accordingly
Even some of the press defenders Of
the senator take the ground that he
has several wives, ana draw favorable
comparisons between his course and
that Of national lawmakers whose lives
are VIGOROUSLY in con- let with the
seventh commandment, and Of liber-
tines who cast off their paramours
when tired Of their society
It all shows how little many millions
Of people know Of the actual facts IN
the case which has caused 50 much
agitation I'm this country and even in
Europe They do not understand that
but a small minority Of the 'Mormons'
ever practised polygamy We have now
before us the Sheffield, England, Inde-
pendent, which refers to the Morning
Post" and also TO the article by sydney
Brooks that has been widely copied
and sagely puts the case IN this way:
"Thcre is no question about the en-
tire regularity OF MIR. Shoots credeH-
tails. IL Is not alleged that his cleo.
ton was procured by bribery false
counting, ballot stuhng, or IN fact by
illegallty IN any form. The complaint
against him is that he Is q polygamlst
by practice as well as conviction; that
rs such he has broken the we'll UNDER
stood compact under which Utah was
admitted as a state into the American
Union, and that his election Is there
fore void"
That view Is English, you know"
but Il has been obtained from American
Misrepresentation, our contemporar-
ios everywhere should understand, by
this time, that the gentleman's oppon-
cnts, with the exception Of one Metho-
dist preacher who thought he was help
ing the cause Of religion by swearing
70 a falsenood have not claimed that
Senator Smoot ever had more than ole
wife, or that there Is anything against
his personal character Of any kind En-
deavors have been made 20 make him
IN some sense (or nonsonse) RESPONSE
bic for the alleged doings Of other peo-
pie. but the real point sought To be es-
tablshed IS that he was elected by tho
influence OF the Mormon Church
That has not been accomplished and
cannot be. because he was nominated
and elected by tho Republican party in
Utah, ard many thousands OF voters
OF his own faith were opposed to him
ana his party ticket particularly

RELIGIOUS NEWS BUREAU,

Among the subjects to come up for
discussion az the Methodist conference
at Los Angeles is a proposed religious
press bureau. The idea Is to estab-
llsh center from which denomination
al news Is to be distributed among Sec
ular papers, somewhat after the pat
tern OF the Associated Press. The bu-
rcau would, Of course, have to be
international. Being n Methodist In
stitutlon It would distribute news, sto-
ries, pictures, etc, relating to the oper-
ations Of that denomination. 1t Is
claimed that for number OF years
highly successful work Of this kind
has been carried on for the Congrega-
tional societies by the Rev. James H.
Ross. The success which Mr.. Ross
has achieved In this news service sug-
gested the idea TO the Methodist bish-
ops, and they have asked his counsel
in perfectng their own plans.
It IS a high tribute to the power Of
the press, that the pulpit finds it
necessary to adopt It's methods, and en-
list It's aid. The religious magazine, or
weekly, is becoming less popular. The
reading public rely on the daily for in
formation on all topics. Churches which
desire to be An public view, will best
reach that end through the daily press.

PREVENTIVE OF APPENDICITIS

The following item concerning n pc
oular preventive Of appendicitis is
found in the May number Of Medical
Talk for the Home, u periodical edited
by Dr.. G. J.. Carr. Columbus, Ohio. The
disease Is one that occurs but too fire.
quently. and any treatment that prom
ises TO make the use Of the knife un-
necessary cannot but awaken general
interest. The writer in the Medical
Talk says;
"There is a story going the rounds
that when Sir Thomas Upton, the own
er Of the yacht, Shamrock, was last IN
our country that he came very near
having appendicitis. IL was reported
IN the public press at the time that he
was about to be operated upon for APP
pendiclts. in New York City.
1.-THE story has It thai the physicians
who attended Sir Thomas Upton
agreed that he had appendicitis. There
was some hesitation about operating
upon him. partly owing TO his condi-
tion Of health, and partly TO the world
wide attention that would be attracted
TO the subject IN case CT failure
"a distinguished surgeon was called
in consultation, and he made most
extraordinary proposition, He suggest
ed that before an operation was at
tempted that they try an injection into
the colon Of equal parts Of common
molasses and milk. These were to be
heated to n temperature OF 100 degrees
T., or about the same temperature as
the human body A pint and a half OF
milk added to q pint and a half Of mo-
lasses constituted the whole injection.
"rhis, by means Of a flexible tube,
was injected into the colon high up.
The injection is supposed to traverse
the colon and reach the caecum, which
Is that portion Of the colon where the
yermiform appendix is situated.
"'rhe astonished physicians I'm charge
finally consented TO try this remedy.
The Injection was given and immedi-
ately there passed away large ac-
cumulation OF decomposed feces, which
gave Sir Thomas immediate relief. This
obylated the necessity Of an operation
with tue knife.
Tho name of the surgeon who sug-
gested this in lection Is not given, but
II Is stated that he said, when recon-
mending the injection, that Sir An
drew Clark, a distinguished surgeon
I'm England, invariably used this In
lection before he would permit a surg
ical operation. In nine cases out OF ten
the injection will cure appendicitis and
make an operation supertluous."

with religious bigotry and hatred OF

not been exercised IN his case, and
would not have been a disqualification

It had been used as pretended. We
make this explanation so that persons

AS every one might have expected,
Prof Chittenden Of Yale university has
proved by his years scientific expert
ments IN dieting that the average
healthy man Of civilization eats too
much. Scientific experiments were not
needed TO make people believe it, for
they know 1t as the result OF their
daily living. The world was scarcely
prepared, however, TO be told by the
professor that It eats from two TO three
times too much. Nor should one i'm
mediately reduce the amount OF his
food to one-thrd or one-half of the
usual ration, because Of the professors
tests. The men experimental upon at
Yale were picked subjects and during
their dieting experience they enjoyed
special care and took regular physical
exercise. In their eating, too there was
a maximum Of scientific intelligence In
the choice OF foods Intelligence Of any
sort is just what Is lacking in the eat
ing and the cooking of the average
family II people could be taught whar
to eat and how to cook properly, the
evil OF eating too much, which Prof.
Chittenden now emphasizes, would be
greatly minmlzed.
