What, we must ask, is the Bible? In
what does its unity consist? Learned

Guilty in finding how the two sections
Of the canon, one Jewish the other
Christian, were brought together. In
the Encyclopaedia Biblica seventeen
double column pages are devoted to the
subject.
The Old Testament character and
morality are different from those OF the
New. What is there in the New Tesla

Canaanites. men, women and children:
Rahab's betrayal of her country. Da-
vid's torturing and massacring the in
habitants of a captured city; Elisha's
killing with his curse the children who
had Knocked him? The New Testament
character is gentleness and mercy.
Can anybody now believe the story
told in Genesis of the Creation and
Temptation. with Satan turned into a
serpent, and the Creator walking like
a man in the Garden of Eden; OF that

lines of Patriarchs; or that of the
plaques Of Egypt and the destruction
Of the firstborn; as though OmnipO-

Error, even minute error, such as

it does not annul the immense value of

to prove the absence of inspiration.

In the New Testament there are
things which overtask our faith, such
as the demoniae miracles, the star of
Bethlehem, the apparition of the dead
saints in the streets Of Jerusalem at
the time of the Crucifixion, and other
marveis. These are the aureoles which
in simple minds gather about the mem

ENTIRELY TOO LATE.

\ call has been issued for a Repub-
lican mass convention at the salt Lake
theatre on the Path of the present
month for the purpose of protesting
against the use Of the party machinery
by the "bunehers" for the brewers. It
is late in the day for effective action
Of the kind proposed. Last fall, when
the deal was closed. something might
have been done to prevent its CONSUME
nation. 1t was known at that time
that an unholy combina ton had been
formed; that money in big wads was
contributed by the liquor interests in
this state to the Republican campaign
fund; that definite promises were made
to protect the business of the liquor
dealers; that support was pledged to
William Spry for governor and Reed
Smoot for United States senator with
this end in view-su OF this was ap-
parent to the inerest tyro in politics.
Now come certain Republicans who
meekiy, or weakly. acquiesced in the
program with a howl that the party is
being misrepresented; that the rank
and file favors prohibition and that the
Republican members of the legislature
are proving false and recreant to the
trust imposed In them by too-confid-
ing people. If they really desired pro-
hibitiOn. why didn't they raise their
tuneful voices in the Republican con-
vention and pledge their candidates in
accordance with their desires? The an
swer is that they went into the cam
paign for SmOOt-first. last and all the
time, and that every vital interest of
the state was subordinated to that
dea. Some Of them may have been
