AUTHORITY OF BIBLE
WAVES, SAYS MINISTER

PHILADELPHIA, May 21-"The sci
entific spirit Of the age has unques-
tionably decreased the authority of the
Bible
This statement by the Rev. Albert w.
Wishart. Of Trenton, caused a hum OF
disapprovaI at the weekly meeting Of
the Baptist ministers in the First
Church. Some Of the listeners declared
that this was not so; also that there
must be a foundation If there is 10 be
belief.
Mr.. NVishart spoke on the Foundation
of Truth" In the course of his ad-
dress. he said:
People should not blindly accept the
Bible as infalEble This is a practical
age. We should test our religion by
personal experience. not by the words
of those of centuries ago. Trst us look
II the problem from a practical point
OF view The literary study and scien-
tihc investigation OF all historical data
has made men doubt the authenticity
of many things which were accepted by
our fathers without question. Too
many people base their whole religion
upon the Bible. IL Is really a spiritual
telescope through which we view CON
ditions Of early ages.
We want people TO believe in Jesus
Christ. Teach them that religion is the
personal relationship between Christ
and the people Ii Is not necessary to
have so much doctrine Did the first
followers of Christ depend upon any
creed? The New Testament was not
written then, which proves that they
did not The scientific study OF the
Bible is responsible for the marked de-
cline in the authority exercised by re-
iigion in these days

royal good time. One of the features Of
the evening was sssenseless suggestion
in last, was the prize-winner, although he
had no time to spare. The prize was a
box of Apollo chocolates, which the
champion handed around to his fellow
contestants, when he made the startling
discovery that for some strange and almost
anomalous reason, many of the young
ladies present did not care for eonfec-
tionery. 1t so dazed him that he forgot to
take the prize home. The refreshments
were temptation that no one could with
stand and that no one wanted to, and they
fully sustained the reputation of the
house of Stratton. Games and music
rounded out the evening, and SO pleasantly
did the time pass that many wished to
continue beyond the usual hour set for
closing. Another good time" was the
unanimous verdict of all present.

of police at Washington, D. c., Friday,
asking for information of relatives of
Josie Eva Kent, aged twenty-nine years,
who had died in hospital in that city
from the effects, it is believed, of GRIM

certained that she was the youngest
daughter of Richard Kent, who formerly
lived at Beechland. She was only about
five years old when her family left here.
Her father is dead, also an older brother
and sister. Her mother is living in Brook
lyn, N. Y. No near relatives live here
now, and Officer Silvy so advised the
Washington police. She visited here
short time about five years ago. Accord
ing to the Washington police, Miss Kent
was engaged to be married to Washing
ton man, who died shortly before the we'd

low him, Miss Kent recently took out an
insurance policy for S400, saying that at
any rate she would have enough money to
paw for her burial. The police have the

wound up the business of the organiza-
tion meeting. Mayor Hagerthy, Alder

1t has been the unwritten rule hereto
fore that bills against the city should bs

ceding the regular monthly meeting, ana

ficient time for examination and ap-
proval Of the bills, and now the edict has
gone forth that all bills must be presented
on or before the Friday preceding regular
meetings. At Wednesday evening meet
ing it was
Voted, That all bills against the city for labor

proved by the officers and committee of depart
ment contracting the same, and handed to the
