In your issue Of November 9 7 note

tributors headed Hunting Unmanly

While quite agree with your CORE

Would Stop Accidents.

Editor The Washington Herald:
I have long thought that numerous ac-
cidents might be prevented and valuable
lives saved by reversing the prevailing
practice Of moving passenger railway cars
IN the same direction as the current Of
traffic on the same side OF the roadway.
In leaving the conveyance the passenger
grasps with his left hand the iron sup
port placed on the side Of the car for his
assistance. and, looking toward the front,
may step directly in the path OF swiftly
moving vehicle before any one can act
quickly enough 10 avert disaster. The
conductor also fails 20 see the approach
ing danger, because his attention is fixed
upon the departing passenger While the
latter thinks he is facing danger, il
springs on him from behind unseen and
unsupported.

Methodists and the Bible.

Editor Tho Washington Herald
I have been following your reports OF
Dr. John Reid Shannon's sermons on the
Bible, in which he admits mistakes
and errors" in the Holy Scriptures. &c.
II is not my purpose TO convict the
reverend doctor OF error in his sermons
on the Bible, but 20 convince the read
ers Of The Washington Herald that HIS
utterances do not voice the sentiments
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church. nor
the convictions OF orthodox Christians In
general. and 10 show that the Bible f.
verbally inspired Of God throughout IN
its entirety
II seems evident that Rev. Mr.. Shannon
has been reading the books and accepting
the teachings Of the so-called higher
critics until his faith lacks the definite
positive conviction Of his cOrellglonists-
the Methodists, among whom I am reel-
oned
Believing, however, that his faith Is
deeper than his public utterances loads
me TO suggest that his statements are
really not his own. but the sentiments OF
the teachers he evidently has great re-
spect for.
In his third sermon, as reported IN
The Washington Herald. he Is made 70
say:
"The doctrine Of the infalibrIty OF the
Bible is an unscriptural dogma and a
nctiol."
He declared such a doctrine makes a
load too heavy for the church 20 carry;
that Il leads many 10 cast the Bible
aside, and that II manufactures skepti-
CiSm and makes agnOStics
He speaks Of the Mosaic inspired rec
ord of the Creator as.
The petty, tiny playhouse affair sort
Of creation Of the Hebrew conception
a conception suddenly put up carpenter
like, with God on the outside"
Again:
Water from the skies, coming 70 us
through the mountain springs, carries
with it an admixture OF the soil and lime
Of the earth through which 1t passes: so
the Bible, coming TO us through the me-
dunn OF imperfect. faIlible men. carries
with It an admixture of mistakes and
errors"
In your report Of his first sermon OF
the series on the Bible you make him
say. among other things, that "the Book
of Ruth is a work of fiction"
Permit me to state, and TO prove. that
In all these utterances our reverend doc
tor is sadly in error, and. worse than
this, that these utterances are blasphe-
nous Not that he intends to be bias
phemous, but error forces men in de-
Tense Of their position 10 speak against
the truth, and 70 use raillery, to the injury

responsibility for whose fall lies at the
