Investigation OF TIE Miracles.

4 third reason f,r the maaa~ /
ness prevalent in regard II 3ibii-
cal Criticism is IL. tendency 80 look
for the sources of the Biblical
books in hitherto unlreamcu- of
regions, nnd therefore to destroy
the nniquencss Of the revelation
they contain. At the present mo-
meut, for instance, much interest
centers in the investigation of
BahyloniaH remains rs throwing a
food Of light on Cd Testament
origins. There is hardly an event
or legend i'll O.d Testament story
which cannot b. parallel in some
of these contemporary records.
This Information comes with some
thing of II shock tn the devoni
Christian. who he's hitherto been
taught to regard Israel rs a spec
iallY chosen people witnessing God
to an idolattons world. With the
disappearance Of the nnipucncss of
the revelation the question arises
rs to whether there has ever been
any real revelation ct ali. More
over, there is Il tendency on The
part Of the critics to ignore OK ex-
plain away the supernatural in the
sense Of the marvcions. 1t is anti
pathetic t. miracle, if bv miracle
we are to understand the tcmpo-
rary suppression Of law. Away
then 60 the myths relating to the
creation and the fall: away with
them 60 the picturesque life stories
Of The patiarchS; Ahrahan, Isaac
and .!Acob become The pcrsnnaIizei
symbols of tribal communities; :;
away go the miraculous deliver
ance from Egypt, the ltv giving
in Sinai, the lnanna in The wilder
ness, the fall Of the walls Of Jcri-
co, the standing still OF tue sun
and moon ut the command Of Josh
ia: even such forcefuI porsonaIi
ties as Moses ana E!iiis;il arc seen
TO be Legendary: the books of E.

longer valuable for the historici;y
of events they record. As Doctor
Parker said in his valet,icinry adj
dress to the Free Church Council
of England and Wales. "Thcrc
was no den, there were no lions,
and, worst OF all, there was no

credness of these narratives seem

Need Foot Warmers.

The St. Louis Republic advises
Chairman Evans that the Demo.
Gratis out in the sticks will come
a-rnnnin if he perfects the right
kind Of organization, and suggests
picnic speech making in every
school district in the state, and
winds up by saying that 1906 is
not going to be an off year in Mis-
souri,. Judge Evans says that
many Of the county chairman of
the state are Indifferent and will
not so much as answer his letters
and that he is going outside the
regular organization to get men to
do the work. In other words,
many Of the leaders have got cold
feet and the State chairman finds
Unnecessary it to heat up brick kiln

Withing the comparatively short
time of few weeks the political
campaign Of 1906 will be opened
IN Missouri. The heads of both
Republican and Democratic organ
izations are already actively al,
work to harmcnizc and align their
forces, and each side will strive
hard to win. The prospects of an
other Republican success in Mis-
souri, next year are bright. The
party is fighting from vantage
point formerly occupied by the
ens,ny, for they arc now, with the
exception of the Governship, in
trenched in power in the state.
The Democrats are fighting ont
side of the breastworks, and their
best hopo of victory next year lies
in the expectation that the thous-
snds of Democrats who left the
party in 1904 will return to the
fold in 1906. To encourage the
return of this element the Demo
Gratis are trying to coat their old
machine methods, which were so
repudiated at the last general elec
ton, with Governor Folks reform
reputation to make them more
palatabie. Governor Folk is try
ing to carry water on both should
ers in this connection, wishing to
stand in with the machine end Mt
the SAME time keep up a pretensc
of ndhering to those policies which
resulted in his election to the gov
crnorship and the rcpudiation of
the machine element. The old ma
chine crowd is still in control of
The Democratic party organization
with Judge Evans, tho man who
decided that all the inmates of the
soldiers homes were panpers and
ineligible as voters for that reas
on, to determine an election con.
test for Il county Office in favor OF
Democratic contestant, at tie
head of it as chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Committee. Under
such leadership there is little tc
encourage the bolting element ot
The Democratic party to return.
The year that the Republican,
have been in Office at Jefferson
City has demonstrated beyonG
question that it. was good move
on part of the people to put that
party in power there. Not ;
breath of scandal or the rcproacl
of incompetency has fallen up"i
nny of the departments ruled over
by Republicans. On the Demo
cratic side, those departments un
der control of Gov. Folk, have
maintained their old record fo,

as the defendants.
stockholder in the company June 27
last, on which date it is said he pur-
chased $6375 worth of stock. 1t is also
asserted Winstanley purchased stock
valued at $6S75, while Parker is said
to have invested to the extent of $3375.
Brennan says in his complaint de-
mand for the payment of the purchase
price has been made, but 1t is asserted
the stock has not as yet been paid for.
He also asserts he has made no de-
mand on the board of directors to COM
pei the alleged non-payments, for the
simple reason that as the defendants
are members of the board such de-
mand would be idle and useless.
Brennan asks the court to enforce
the alleged non-payment.
