l cannot understand how any sane
minded man or woman could refuse
to sign the Woman Suffrage Petition
to the Senate and House Of Represen=
tatives, now being circulated by the
Socialist Party.
Neither can understand why some
Socialists regard this as thing apart
from their regular propaganda work.
Does not the National platform OF
the Socialist Party declare IN favor Of
Woman Suffrage? Does that mean we
are simply in favor Of having the bal
lot, or that we believe it to be right
and just and that we will do all in our
power to help to get this weapon Of
defense and protection?
In a land where democracy is a
recognized and boosted feature OF
government is seems absurd that one
half the population should be denied
voice and vote in the laws govern
ing them, especially when millions Of
our wage workers come from the dis-
franchised ranks.
=. Under the present form Of govern
ment the ballot is the weapon used TO
show our position on certain political
issues, and registers our approval OF
dislike of the various legislative meas
ures.
Do you think that the millions OF
women wage workers should longer
be denied the right to such an express
sion? Do you believe that the women
in the homes, the mothers Of the race,
should be denied the right to protect
their children by voting their senu-
ments at the ballot box?
Let US forget it is woman Suffrage
we are now fighting for and only think
of the millions of wage workers, exs
plotted in the mills and factories who
are denied right to vote. Let rs
forget they are women. Let US think
-
of them as human beings wage Work
ers-working side by side with male
members of society, performing use
full labor. Let us forget that the We.
man in the home, striving to make
the family income go round under the
present high prices. and doing all sne
can to add to the support Of the child
ren-is a woman. Let us think o.
her as a human being exercising mel
function. who is denied the right e
say under what kind of laws she shall
live, or whether the children Of thai
home shall be taken to the factory
at the age of six or nineteen.
? Let us forget that the workers q
this land, whether in the shop. mines
mills, factories, or homes are male o.
female. Let us only consider the fac'
that they are wage workers. robbed
of the full product Of their toll and
that they need the ballot with which

prosecuting attorneys both of Cook

California.

Of good faith, William J. Burns paid
me $50 to get clothes for myself and

10 us many of its wonderful beauties
never before appreciated. 1t has
shown that the Song of Songs is not
an allegory of Christ and the church
but the Qualification of pure and
loyal human love in a drama of won
orous beauty. 1t has shown the book
OF Job to be one of the finest dramatic
poems ever penned 1t has shown to
us that the story of Jonah is not a
mere fish story to amuse, but satire
levelled against bigotry and exclusive
ness: that it approaches nearer than
any other Old Testament book the
spirit of Christ. Higher criticism has
plucked many gem from the neglect
ed love of the prophets that had been
buried beneath the rubbish of trad-
ton, 1t is translating the fundament-
ais of christianity from the forms and
traditions of the middle ages and
giving them to us in the language OF
the twentieth century
The dead chrysalis of Anticipated
theology is being laid aside. that the
living truth, unfettered, might rise
into newness of life. From such
criticism the church has nothing to
fear but much to gain The gravest
danger to be feared from higher
criticism today is. not that the &C
ceptance OF its teachings will under.
mine the faith of the people. but that
the rejection of it's well-established
results will do the church incalculable
harm through the alienation of vast
numbers OF our most thoughtful and
nquiring young people

The Value OF
HIGHER CRITICISM
Rev. r. w. LIlIey In Reading Paper
Before Ministerial Association
Today Tells obi
cations.
THE WHY OF PERFECTION
Christian Church Minister Says Some
Pertinent Things in Very We'll
Prepared Ar
ticle.
by Rev. R. W. Lilley.l

AS the subject indicates the mr..
pose of this paper is an attempt to
point out something of the valae of
higher criticism. 1t has nothing to
do whatever with either destructive
or textural criticism. Higher crit.
icism has to do with the inner sub
stance of the scriptures Dealing with
their literary features, judging as to
the character, and origin of the book 5
OF the Bible and their relation one to
the other. To accomplish this it
studies the style, structure and
thought of each particular writing.
Seeking to ascertain whether it is the
work of one Or more authors. 1t
aims to find out the times and cir.
cumstances under which book or
given portion of scripture was pro.
duced, because this will throw much
light on the meaning
Professor George T. I.add says. "Bv
the higher criticism is meant that
study which tries to reproduce the in
fluences and circumstances out of
which the biblical books arose and
thus exhibit them as true children of
their own time.
Professor w. Robertson Smith SAYS.
"The critical study Of an ancient docu-
ment means nothing else than care
full sitting of their origin and mean
ing in the light Of history"
Professor Charles A. Briggs says:
THE questions of the higher crit
icism are questions of integrity
authenticity credibility and literary
forms of the various writings that con-
stitute the Bible
Summing up the definitions of high
er criticism | find it to be the efforts
OF Biblical scholars to answer four
questions concerning each book or
portion of the scriptures: Who wrote
it? When was IT written? What is
its literary FORM And what is its
yalue9
The answer to or the attempt to
answer these questions is what we
call higher criticism This is not
something new under the sun For
in the later days of Judaism in Pales-
tine enough critical judgment was
exercised to decide what writings
