Editor Tribune

Editor Tribune:
! In your weekly issue of July Is,
referring to the outrook's characteri-
zation of the strife over Prof. Fos-
ter's second book you say Wed stat
ed" The outlook says 1t as battle Of
jargons on both sides. That Mr. Fos-
ter's arguments Gf they may be call
ed arguments, are in a measure hard
to be understood there can BE no
question, and some things said by has
reviewers are equally so: but the pro-
fessor's denial of the supernatural be-
gsttal and birth Of Jesus, and his re-
lection of the fact of his resurrection
are plainly enough stated for any or
dnary mind to grasp his meaning. He
simply rejects every thing supernat-
ural found IN bible history, thus plac-
ing immsef in the ranks of infdels of
the Voltare, Tom Pain and Hobbs
type. The poor man is without hope
and without God in the world. His
bible so mutilated is but human pro-
ductaon destitute Of divine authority
touching the question of mans saliva
ton He can not set up for what re-
mains OF the old book, the claim of
divine inspiration making it an unfail-
ible guide to a future life. Such a rev.
elation as the result of a miracle of
wisdom confronting Mr. Foster Its
pages OF prophecy fortels Gods con-
sumated purpose, the redemption of
his church. III Foster entertains a
hope of being among the redeemed
ones TN the final outcome he must
rest has hope on supernatural reve-
latSon OF Gods purpose; otherwise it
must rest ON the vageries of his own
brais. The fact is, he has utterly shut
out all eight touching the future.
Expunging from the Bible every
thing miraculous leaves it a kind of
crazy quilt with nothing coherent,
senseless jargon of words that would
defy Mr. Fosters skin to make of II
any thing more than literary curl
osity, fit only for a museum of an
cient wonders

MISS TREUX RETURNS.

Missouri Flood Relates Tales of

flood which visited that city and vi

her terrible experiences in the high
water district, where people were
tripped in upstairs, and roofs OF
buildings, and were half starved for
almost a week. Miss Treux says that
she will not forget those experiences
all of her life. The cries OF people
caught in single Story houses. the
cries of the drowning animals, the
roaring OF the food and the burning
OF large mill, at midnight impaired
a weird and creepy combination OF
sounds to the imprisoned people. Miss
Treux says that never in her Efe be-
fore, had she ever dreamed OF joining
the bread line, but was forced to do
so in flood time People had been
without food for thirty hours, when
men in boat located a potatoe patch
under water and succeeded in digging
up quality OF potatoes from the
flooded land. When these were cook
ed, they were parceled out, and each
person received one roastd potato.
Cows were swan on higher land and

belonging to a rescue party, bedmg
