BIBLE AS THE WORD OF GOD
Entire book Proved by ,Christ's life
and Death, Says Dr.
TOfrey.

zone Reason Why ] Believe the BIble
TO BE the Word of God" was the subject
OF DIR. Torreys first noon address to mon
at the BurwoOd theater Tuesday. A num-
Der of business men taking time between
the hours OF busy day attended the meet
ing. The talk was brief and succinct and
evidently OF interest to all.
"The most important question in religious
thought is, is the Bible the Word of
God?' said DR.. Torrey IF the Bible is
the word of God, an absolutely trustworthy
revelation from God Himself of Himself.
His purposes and His will, OF mans duty
and destiny, of spiritual and eternal reall-
ties, then we have a starting point from
which We can proceed 10 the conquest OF the
whole domain Of religious truth. But IL
the Bible is not the word OF God, IL Il is
the mere product OF mans thinking,
speculating and guessing, not altogether
trustworthy in regard to religious and
eternal truth, then We are all at sea. not
knowing whittier we are drifting, but we
may be sure that we are not drifting to-
ward any safe port
After declaring he was once a skeptic
not an iuhdel, but disbelieved the Bible
70 be the word OF God, Dr. Torrey gave
his reasons why he now accepts the Bible
as the inspired word Of the Master.
First OF all because Of the testimony
OF Jesus Christ. II we accept the teaching
OF Jesus Christ, we must accept the whole
Bible, for Jesus Christ set his stamp OF
authority upon the entire book"
And the remainder Of the address was de-
voted to quoting and commenting on scrip
tural passages TO support Christ's authority
OF the inspiration OF the entire Bible as the
word Of God. Concluding DR.. Torrey sub
mitted his case with foreeful eIoauence:
Fifth, Jesus presents his fifth credentisl
His resurrection from the dead What has
this school OF criticism 70 set up against
thatG Nothing whatever. Jesus christ
established His claim. The opposing school
OF criticism stands dumb. Therefore We
refuse TO bow 70 the assumed and uusub.
Stantiated authority and infallibiIity OF anv
school Of criticism, Of any priest, or pope
OF theological professor, but most gladly
10 we bow 20 the authority and infallibllit,
OF Jesus Christ. so completely proven and

CITY ATTORNEY DEFINES THE LAW
Gives BrOatch Answer ON DrugEista'
Rights in Liquor Tramc.

Gives HrO0tch Answer on DFuBeMth
Rights in Liquor Tranic.
w. ]. Broatch OF the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners has asked City At
torney Burnam for an opinion in the matter
of drug stores selling liquors for other
than medicinal, mechanical and chemical
purposes and the citys rights IN the
premises.
Commissioner Broatch informed the city
attorney, among other things, that the
drug stores Of Omaha are selling bottled
goods and in some cases doing larger
business than the saloons.
Can the city compel druggists to pay a.
yearly license or seize the stock Of liquors
In the event of liquors being sold for other
purposes than specified in the, druggists
permits issued on a payment Of $40 per
year, is the question asked. ..e..s q. ...a
City Attorney Burnam held: --~.
IL YOU have evidence and are satisfied
that druggist is retailing liquors for any
purpose other than medicinal, manufacture
ing or chemical, you have the right and II
is your duty to require such druggist TO
city has no right to seize the liquors in
case such druggist fails to take out SUCH
license
Mr.. Burnam explained that the remedy
was to refuse the offending druggist q
permit He also cited there is no ordinance
at present making 1t necessary to present a
physicians prescription TO obtain liquor at
a drug store, the druggist under existing
conditions being supposed to sell on good
faith"
Mr.. Bunam further states;
The state cannot validity prohibit the use
OF valuable curative agencies on account Of
q remote possibility OF abuses on this
theory courts have held that legislatures
cannot prohibit the sale of liquors as
medicine
Mr.. Burnam did not explain Just where
the medicinal line might be drawn. but he
held that a pint of whisky and a pinch
OF quinine need not necessarily be medicine
The city attorney believes the city council
under provisions OF the Slocumb law and
police power OF the state could pass
ordinances regulating the sale OF liquors in
drug stores.
