COMMON SENSE VIEW OF BIBLE STUDY
Delivered Third Lecture In Faculty
Series Monday Evening.
(From The Trinity chronicle)

A good sized audience hearl
Prof. John c. Wooten, of the de
partment of Biblical Literature
lecture in the Y. M. G. A. hal
Monday evening. The lecture
was the third in the faculty Sc
ries, and his subject was "A
Common Sense View OF Bible
Study" of which he gave very
discriminating and well-balanced
discussion. He spoke in sub,
stance as follows:
So many changes have bsen
brought about in these recent
years that some adjustment is
necessary, not only in the physi-
cal world but in all the forces
that make for life. Not that our
present attitude is more irrever-
ent but more exacting.
From the time of Professor
Jowett's article in Essays and
Reviews" in which he advised that
We interpret the Scriptures like
any other Book" English speak
ing students have studied the
Bible differently. If men wish
to cover the entire ground when
they study History they cannot
neglect the Bible. The Christ
ian religion is historic; the Old
Testament is historic, and so is the
New. 1t was impossible then
for the Scriptures to escape the
significance of this historic spirit.
This spirit instead of destroying
or weakening the influence of the
Bible, as many churchmen
thought, has brought the Bible
into touch with real life.
The dates. headings and places
of composition are left off in the
Revised Version. Such theory
breaks down in the actual use Of
the word. The conception of
inspiration was a natural and al
most inevitable one. The seven
tenth century was a time Of
storm and struggle. Protestants
refused to recognize the authority
Of the Roman Catholic Church:
it was natural that they should
turn for authority to the Bible.
The Jesuits pointed with pride to
an inlallible church; it was nat
ural that the Protestants should
point with pride to an infallible
Book. The style language and
every thing about it was perfect,
they said, and any suggestion Of
imperfection was blasphemous.
Such a theory full grown led rs to
untenable positions. This theory
IS the simplest, and the most east
ly managed, "But an easy theory
may minister to mans laziness.'
A man may say every revGently
This is Gods Word" and ther
let the dust settle on the page
Of ii. 4 man does not reverence
the Bible simply by saying nice
things about it, he reverences i
most when he goes into it mos
deeply, questions it, wrestles witt
it, and compels it to give up it
deep secrets.
The task Of the last centur,
was to complete the reformation
aud re.discover the Bible. Tn,
. task Of the present century is t
instiIl its essential'teachings thu
revealed into the mind Of the in
, dividual, so that they will becom
. controlling factors in human life
, Here lies the great responsibility
! and opportunity Of the Christiar
z church. If it is to renew its hol,
on modern men 1t will be througI
{ the mind as we'll as the heart an,
/, its most efficient method will b

es.ing mementoes of the occasion
| Some of the most interesting
books that have been placed il
the case are the following: "Johr
LawSon's History of North Caro-
lima published in London, 1909
and is the first history ever print
ed of North Carolina; 'Johr
Briekell's Natural History Of
North Carolina published in
Dublin, 1897; History of Cam
paigns of 1880 and 1891; John
sons Life and Correspondence of
Nathaniel Green" two volumes,
published in Charleston, 1922;
"Mrs. Anne ROYALS Southern
Tour, or Second Series of Black
Book" Washington, 1890. She
was a very notorious radical of
her day, and said some very caus.
tic things about certain conditions
in this State; also "Coxe's Descrip-
ton the English ProvinceofCaro
| ma, by the Spaniards called
Florida" London, 1876. There
is also copy of the first book
ever printed in North Carolina,
which is called the yellow
Jacket or North Carolina Laws "
This book was published in 1852.
Among some of the most inter
esting manuscripts are the follow
ing: American Slavery, the I'm
mediate Duty of Slave Holders"
by Eli W. Caruthers, a Presbyte-
rian minister of Greensboro, aud
a native of this State. There are
three or four hundred pages OF
this manuscript, and it was the
intention Of the divine to have the
work printed in book form. 1t is
a very severe criticism of slavery
and the conditions prior to the
civil war. Also manuscript ser
mems by Rev. Samuel Z. McCon-
kle and Rev. David Caldwell,
leaders IN the Presbyterian church
during the 18th century. Also a
letter from w. c. Mendenhall. on
the means of emancipation Of the
slaves; and signatures of the fol-
lowing noted men Of their day:
Gov. Thomas Ashe, William Har-
per, Benz. Rush, and others

The Army Mule.

A writer in the Buffalo Horse
World says:
Estimable as is the army mule
in the daytime, at night he is a
different proposition. No sooner
has the camp sunk into slumber
than he becomes imbued with a
desire to go out and serenade the
moon. AS a nightingale the
army mule is no success. He
lacks range, repertoire, and vocal
quality, his quantity of tone
being his only qualification.
Three or four of these .canaries,
as the vocal mules are called, can
keep an area of a square mile
fairly buzzing with their song.
However, the army mule has few
recreations, and it would be cruel
to deprive him of entirely of this
one.
In his native section he usually
announces his approach to town
by a long and loud blast which
almost invariably brings him a
kick or lick by his master, but
the mule is invaluable as a farm
animal, and the southern farmers
should increase his numbers.

1t PAYS to be Polite.

An exchange says: "a New
York business man obtained a
position for his son in a large
commercial concern at nominal
salary. He wanted the boy to
become acquainted with routine
office work and to learn self
reliance. A few days ago, after
three weeks of work, which the
boy said he liked first rate he
was told that he was discharged,
the reason given to the father in
a note which was carried home
was, He has a well-developed
case of what? When he has
been cured send him back, for
we like him.. In further ex-
planation to the father the mer-
chants said that the boy had the
exasperating habit of asking
What?' whenever anything was
asked of him. =

Crazy Legislator Wants News
papers to File Reports of
Their Business.

| Yazoo Sentinel: "A censor
ship of the financial affairs of the
press will be established if the
legislature decides to adopt the
Rencher bill which was intro
duced in the house last week.
Mr.. Rencher explains in offer
ing his very singular measure
that, in his opinion, a goodly
number of papers in Mississippi
are supported by campaign con-
tributions, and he wants the
public to have knowledge of this
fact. He therefore offers a bill
requiring the responsible pub
fishers, once in six months, to
file with the secretary of state,
backed by affidavit, statement
showing existing Indebtedness,
and names of parties to whom
same is due. In other words, if
a politician happens to hold a
mortgage on a newspaper, Mr..
Rencher wants the public to
have knowledge of the fact.
One sof Mr.. Rencher's col
leagues, who happens to be a
newspaper publisher, says that
he is heartily in favor of the bill
if the author will consent to an
amendment also requiring news
papers to set forth their re-
sources in affidavit form, in
cluding a list of delinquent sub
scribers, the secretary of state to
be required to make publication
of resources, together with the
liabilities of the publisher. He
contends that such statements
would show that a majority of
the politicians in Mississippi have
not paid their subscriptions; and
the idea of Mr.. Rencher that po-
litical leaders hold mortgages on
newspapers is about as fallacious
as the Bryanistic doctrine of
government ownership of rail-
roads.

the hands of a half dozen men.
Capt. Farley got off with a
spralned finger or so.
In discussing the lynching at
Brookhaven, Governor Noel
made the following statement:
Several days ago | advised
the Lincoln county authorities
that | would extend whatever
military aid they deemed neces-
sary for the protection of the
prisoner, and instructed them to
keep in touch with me regarding
the situation.
The officers at Brookhaven
did not advise me that any troops
would be necessary. On the
contrary, | was notified that a
mass meeting had been held, and
that citizens had decided to allow
the law to take it's course.
In discussing the case with
the authorities | urged them to
take every possible precaution to
prevent a lynching, and asked
Judge Wilkinson to advise me as
to what he deemed necessary to
this end, suggesting that a close
watch be kept to prevent the
prisoner from being shot while
enroute to Brookhaven, or after
his arrival there, and that he be
returned to Jackson Immediately
after the trial.
Only one military company
being deemed necessary. I or
dered Adjutant General Fridge
to call out the Capitol Light
Guards and take the prisoner to
Brookhaven. This morning | re-
ceived a message from Gen.
Fridge advising me of what had
occurred.
In view of this happening, a
plain case of mob violence when
it was evident that the prisoner
would have been sentenced to
death and speedily executed, I
shall instruct all military COM
panies in. Mississippi that when
they are called into service for
the protection of prisoners, that
they must fire on any and all
persons who attempt to interfere
with them in the discharge of
their duties, and, furthermore,
that they must shoot to kill.
Easy methods of dealing with
mobs will not be tolerated during
my administration, and hereaf-
ter | shall see to it that when
lynchings are threatened suf-
ficient number of soldiers will be
sent along to furnish ample pro-
lection. !"
