6APTIsrs AND THE BIBLE,

"A bdptlst minister named roster, who
is professor in the University Il
Chicago, has written book in which
he says that he who calls himself
Bible believer is naive" person,
meaning that he is simple and art
less, but not "knave." in the sense
of being tricky, deceitful fellow, as
was openly charged by DR.. Matthews
at the ministers conference. held last
Monday in -therEWmdy City.
What branch. of the Baptist church
Prof. Foster belongs to is not stated
1t is well known that the Baptists
are split up into F'reewll Baptists
Seventh Day Baptists, Dunkers, Camp
bellites. etc. but in doctrine they are
all Calvanistic in the United States,
the Interpretation of the Bible being
the chief cause of their drifting asun-
der from the original church of which
Roger Williams was the founder and
first minister in America at Provi-
dence, r. l., after his Punishment from
Massachusetts colony by the Puritans.
Williams granted religious liberation
in Little Rhody," as did William
Penn in Pennsylvania and Lord Balti-
more in Maryland. but. strange to say.
the disciples of Williams have not been
distinguished for broad liberation to-
wards those who differ from them in
religious belief. They cannot even
tolerate one another's opinions, and so
the Baptist ministers of Chicago are
trying to make hereto Of Prof. Fos-
ter and going. to exclude. him from the
ministry.
This journal has no desire to med
die in the religious squabbles of the
Baptist ministers of Chicago over the
book of Prof. Foster. but it really SYM
the structures of his ministerial perse-
cutors. the leader of whom is DR.. Mat
thews. So long as the Baptists believe
in the private Interpretation of the
Bible. Prof. Foster has as much right
to his views as have his fellow min
listers. He has as much right to be
his own guide in the study of the
Bible as any one of his censors. and
probably he is an ADLER scholar than
any of them. They cannot prove from
the Bible itself that it is the Word
of God or that the translation is cor
rect. Wasn't there a revised edition
of the Bible some twenty years ago
by the most learned men in England
and the United States? Why? Be-
cause the King James version con-
tanned thousands of errors; but de-
spite that fact it is used by the Pro-
testant churches of the goth century. as
if it were perfectly accurate in its Eng
fish phraseology. They call it the
Word of God with all the blunders and
mistakes in the translation.
The Almighty never intended the
Bible as guide to His heavenly
kingdom. If He did, His Divine Son
would have written it or directed His
disciples to write it from dictation.
Christ had left the earth for many
years before line Of the New Testa-
ment was written, and many more
years had elapsed before the epistles
and gospels were pronounced inspired
and authentic by the church then in
existence. after it had thoroughly ex-
amined the manuscripts and separated
the wheat from the chaff-the genuine

CALLS ON THE COLONIES.

1t Is now about $50 years ago since
Sir William Blackstone. the great
English jurist, declared that "the royal
navy of England hath ever been its
greatest defense and the floating bull
wark of our island" In the early part
of the last century. Mrs. Felicia Hem
ans sang that Britannia needs no bull
warks." for she had a navy whose
march is DER the mountain wave,
whose home is on the deep" Both

were quite correct in what they said
of England's "old wooden wallis" but

say with Lord Beresford that Eng
land has no longer a navy to defend
her coasts from German invasion. The
dirigible airships invented by Count
Zeppelin. travelling over the ocean at
the rate of 25 miles an hour. would
lying of an eye and enable German
army to land on the coast of Kent to
sujugate the country with month.
No wonder English statesmen are
alarmed and appeal to the colonies to
help England in the day of distress.
In a speech last Saturday in London
before the Imperial Press Congress.
Lord Rosebery said:
I'VE can and we will build Dread
thoughts as long as we have shilling
to spend or man to put into them.
but | am not sure that even that will
be enough. and it is your duty to take
back to your dominions across the seas
this message and this impression. that
some personal duty and responsibility
for the national defence rests upon
every man in the empire. Tell your
peoples the deplorable conditions in
which Europe is rafting into barbar-
ism and the pressure that is put up-
on this little England to defend her
self. her liberties and yours. For her
salvation she must look to herself. and
that falling her she must look to
you"
This is the Lord Rosebery who be-
came prime minister on the retirement
of William f. Gladstone and who re-
fused point-blank to give Home Rule
to Ireland. though he posed as Liber-
al for many years. Why should the
British colonists rush to the assistance
of England? What has England done
for them to make such a sacrifice
They must realize that helping Eng
land against Germany is different
proposition from helping England
against the Boer farmers OF South
Africa. Germany has the best trained
soldiers in the world. and Canadians
and Australians will hesitate before
they start from their distant homes to
fight the conquerors of the French ut
Waterloo and Sedan: for 1t was the
Germans who really conquered Napo-
leon and not the British under yelling
ton. It was the Prussian field marshal
Butcher who saved the British army
from destruction In the nick of time,
though the English historians scarcely
give him any recognition, claiming tho
victory for the British troops. Com

THE uNTERRIFIEp DEMOCRACY

vicious attack in McClure's Magazine
upon the Irish, Jews and Italians of
New York and brands the writer
George Kibbie Turner as literary
scavenger of the first water. Without
attempting to defend criminals of any
nationality, the Times says that many
Of the politicians referred to in the ar
ticle have been dealt with unjustly
and libelously by the muckraker who
drifted from Chicago to teach morality
to benighted New York and besmearci1
it's reputation. The first sentence of
the article-that from 1876 to 1890 the
Democratic party was in absolute con-
by the Times, which says that during
that period there was but one ma
chine Tammany mayor elected. Nance
ly, Hugh ]. Grant William F. Have
meyer was Republican,; Smith Ely
Tilden Democrat; Edward Cooper,
the same: William r. Grace was elect
ed on an anti-Tammany ticket, and
Franklin Edison was compromise
candidate. So much for the first mis-
statement in Turner's malicious dia-
tribe.
The Times boldly challenges Nc.
Clure's to prove the charges of its
contributor and defends Sheriff Foley
from the aspersions cast upon his Of
fetal character. In BREWER capital
letters it asks:
Twill the city as whole permit
such lies to go unanswered? Is 1t not
the duty of the district attorney to
investigate the charges contained in
the article and If they be disproven.
as they certainly will be, to bring
about an indictment of Turner and
McClures for criminal libel?"
In the notorious districts of the city
referred to by Turner as Democratic
strongholds, the Times says that with
no exception they have voted the Re-
publican ticket-despite the writer's
lie to the contrary-and that New
York has never been governed by the
vicious element of its population. Big
Tim Sullivan, T. F. Sullivan, and
Florence ]. Sullivan. who were out
rageously libeled by Turner. are said
to have made the Bowery as respect
able as the corner of Fourth avenue
and Twenty third street, where the
mighty minds of the McClures work
their mental wonders" AS for gam
bling. that amusement is sternly re-
pressed under the administration of
Mayor Mcclellan. and the Times de-
clares that it's most flourishing habitat
is in the Republican city Of Albany
on the street between the virtuous
Republican state capitol and the rail-
road station.
The charges made by this writer in
McClures should be investigated by
District Attorney Jerome. and If they
are untrue he should institute criminal
proceedings gainst the Magazine. De-
cent people will not believe that the
Irish. Jews and Italians Of New York
are as bad as they are painted. Irish
girls and Jewish and Italian maidens
are just as virtuous as those Of other
races and nations, and the man who
attacks them should be compelled to
prove his allegations or make all
apology. Tammany may have it's faults
and shortcomings, but it is too saga

received informally during the even
ing and dancing began at S:S0% The

ATTENDANCE INCREASING.

The most inspiring and yet searching
sermon of the meetings was given at
the Methodist church last night Miss
Nichols. dealt with the privileges and
blessings of the Christian life and
showed how we help or hinder the
kingdom of God within US. A true and
thoroughly sane word was given con-
corning amusements. She showed how
the common indulgence in worldliness
dulls and dissipates Christian life until
there is only the formal profession
left. Her position was, that the tree is
judged by the fruit. The fruit Of
worldly amusements do not promote
Christ-like spirit and service. Miss
Nichols may bring helpers with hel
