RECOMMENDS STUDY
OF DIR. A. D. WHITES BOOK

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
The religious discussion" now going
on in The Times Mail Bag is almost
as exhilarating as one carried on in
the columns of a great New York daily
some years ago on the proposition that
christianity is a Failure" 1t Is truly
generous of A. W. Reltsen to give us
that quotation accredited to one Pub
Illus Dentulus. But, unfortunately. the
said quotation has been known and
shown by the best authorities to have
been the work of a monk of the Middle
Ages whose zeal seems to have gotten
the better OF his good sense. The only
historic character of the name, Publius
Lentulus, was Roman politician, and
there is no record to show that he was
ever in Palestine either on a private
trip or as public official. If he had
ever been president of Judea," as
writer Reltsen affirms, there is no ref
ercnCe to the fact in the data which
history has recorded of him. Moreover,
the aid Publius I,entulus was executed
at Rome in the year 63 before the Chris
tian era, for the part he took in the
famous conspiracy of Catiline-and as
that wds prior TO the alleged birth OF
Christ it is difficult 20 see how Lentulus
could nave written so detailed de-
scription of grown man, when
answers so we'll to the portraits which
the church painters of the Middle Ages
delighted to produce
But what is the use of telling the
plain historic fact to mind so filled
with ''inspiratiOn" as that of A. w.
RcltScn? The miserable fabriCa ton
which he puts forward and defends was
exposed long ago; and is rarely trOtted
out in these days even for the deleC-
tation of the marines-or the monks.
| If there is any really honest inquirer
after the truth let him take up the
great work of Andrew d. White, en-
titled "A History of the Warfare Be
| tween Theology and Science" and not
| waste his time on Mr. Reltsen or the
| twaddIe he asCribcs to Publius Lentu-
| lus, WHO was executed at Rome as a
felon long before Mr.. Reltsen's Savior
| was born. INQUIRER.

MISCONCEPTION OF
AGNOSTIC ATTITUDE
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
The tone of several recent letters at
tacking the unebelieVer indicates a mis-
conception of his attitude. The agnostic.
as the name indicates, is one who does
not know. To him the universe is a
wonderful riddle which thoughtful men
of all ages have been trying to solve.
The religious believer claims to have
the solution. The agnostic tells him to
prove his case before asking acceptance
of the claim. This has not been done.
The numberlesS religions of the world.
the countless ScCts within, each asserts
that It has the only true answer, each
demands belief without doubt or In
uuiry. But one must inquire. He cam
not accept them all, or any, in fact, un-
I'll convinced.
The search for truth has built up num-
Der Of theories, accepted alike by the in
telleCtual religious believer as wellas the
agnostC, as possibilities among them
the evolutionary theory. These are not
asserted as positive beliefs-they cannot
be prOven-but merely as possibilities,
until further research and advancing in
telligence have demonstrated their truth
or falsity.
Think of the wasted lives, the wasted
talent. the wasted effort, the wasted
capital, devoted to contention over tri-
fling points of dogma. to sitting in
Quiry, to extending religious belief! If
these had been expended in a united ef-
fort to reach the truth how much near
er we might be!

yunr Mail Bag critic'sing my lack of
belief in the PiUle, and condemning my
general att!tuJe toward religion. / may

THE MARRIED GRADUATE.

The higher education Of women is not steriliz-
ing the human race if the data of Holyoke college
may be relied upon criterion On the contrary,
those students Of social movements who delight in
drawing broad differences from detailed facts and
figures will take heart Of grace they look toward
the future Of the republic.
The professor of economics in the institution
in question has been making inquiries ana
compilations and discovers that nearly so per cent
of the graduates of Holyoke are now married, and
that among the number there hasn't been divorce
in fifty years
1t is an interesting fact that while all this is
true, the average age of graduation has fallen from
twenty three years and five months to twenty y-one
years and eight months So they are not wasting
/ away all the bloom of their beauty in college halls
and under the traditional midnight lamp, as penalty
Of the increased discretion they seem to show in
choosing a husband. They are able to leave the
institution at age when they still enjoy sur
repttous fudge party at an hour when spirits walk
and graveyards yawn and good little undergraduates
are supposed to be asleep
Nor yet in after life, do they fail to give host
ages to fortune" for the professor in economies in
dcates that there are two children in every one of
these families. Masculine vanity will even be flat
tered to know that the proportion of boys is in
creasng in these families of Hoyoke graduates.
1t has been estimated that it would take four
children to every fertile marriage keep the world
population where it is now, the outlook is mot all
rose coored. But so far as the figures Of one semi
nary may be accepted, it would seem that higher
education for women is fully Justfyng itself Euclid
and Mrs. Rorer are not totally at war.

something about another side of

the statements made by DR.. Joseph

use of Crotalus or rattlesnake poison.
You printed the criticisms OF Dr.

any other facts from those who know
about this cure.
Dr. Stornbcrg does not know about
the case, for ne has never examined
DR.. Thompson, and for physician
to pronounce judgment in a case of
which ne knows absolutely nothing.
is too absurd to warrant any weight
being attached to his opinion.
When the attending physician to

paper like The Times ought to give
their testimony as much weight as II
does to that of Sternbcrg, who is
talking about a man whom he has
rever examined in his life and prob
ousy of doctors is too well known to
need mention. III" greatest surgeon
England ever had. Lister, was sneered
at by his doctor friends at first.
Sternberg can not afford to laugh at
something about which he knows
nothing.
The city is to he congratulated that

ALL CAN UNITE ON
TEACHINGS OF CHRIST

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The discussions in the Mail Bag in re-
gard to religious questions especially are
very interesting, indeed. We cannot all
have the same beliefs. Some of us may
be classed as orthodox, some unortho-
dux. some unpelievers, some possibly in
fidels. But l am constrained to think
that there Is not such a wide gulf be-
tween all of us as would appear. We
an are the children of the Heavenly
Father. There are a great many things
in the Bible that a finite mind cannot
understand; / really do not think any
one can understand them, for instance,
the Imma aCulate Conception, the mir
aCles, the atonement on the cross. We
in the unorthodoX class do not reject
them; We simply have not that supreme
faith which others may have. The Om-
nipotent Power, who judges our hearts
and lives, will not, l feel assured, frown
upon those of us who are not blessed
with that great abiding faith (which
remoVeth mountains"
But there is one thing upon which all
OF us, ! think, can agree, and that is
the life and teachings of the Christ.
They are as immutable as time itself.
He came into this world of sin and sor-
row preaching new Gospel. He taught
forgiveness and love, humility and vir-
tue. He held out the hope of redemp-
tion to the harlot, the thief, the sinner.
lie took up the Cudgel of the weak as
against the strong. He tiayed shams
and hypocrisy. Not one disCordant note
appears in all His life. Surely He was
more than man; surely He was the

Truth. II Is good enough for me; it is
good enough for any of JUS.
