DIFFERS WITH AGNOsTICs.


Editor FL Paso Herald:
The tone Of the letter Differs With
Preachers printed in The Herald a
week or so ago, is somewhat discOn-
cert1ng. Of an avOwed agnOstic, who
professedly neither knows nor can
know religious truths, one might rea-
sonably expect a more modest and
diffident presentation Of views He
protests against what he considers
'enslaylng and deceiTing" speculatiOns
Of preachers, although he himself has
nothing better to suggest than a sort
or gross materialism. How sad, if
millions Of people were, as he hopes
or thinks, morally and spiritually so
bankrupt as to believe in a mere ami
mai existence, living without God and
without hope, knowing neither whence
they came, nor where they 20.
The writer of that letter seems to
have been shocked at hearing Chris
tlan truths enunciated in a church
without an effort being made on the
part OF the preacher to prove them
scientifically. What innOcencei ID
he not know that Christian truths
are dependent for their validity NOT
on reason, but on the divinely re-
yealed truth of the Word? The Scrip
lures. and not reason, are the source
of Christian doctrine; and these not
reason, are the supreme authority in
all questions Of faith and conduct. The
church Of Christ never claimed that
those who scientifically know shall
be saved, but those who believe How
irrational and unscientific of a scien-
tific mind to demand rational or
even mathematical demonstration of
supernatural truths. which lie in the
transcendental world beyond the reach
and ken of reason.
Nevertheless, though believers de-
termine transcendentaI religious facts
only on the basis of divine revelation.
they have within themselves a more
scientific confirmation of their truth
and reality than agnostics have for
their theories and hypothesis. There
IS the testimony Of the Spirit in the
heart which, of course, the agnOstic
VIII promptly deny because he doesn't
feel that. There is, moreover, the
regenerating and renOvating power of
the gospel eXerted on all who be-
neVe It As a cause Is known by its
erect or tree by its fruit, so the
truth of Christianity in its strict
sense is proved by the wonderful
transformations it has wrought not
only In the individual. but also in the
entire world That's, I believe, correct
reasoning and sound science, too
NOOOdy's adverse criticism of the
Christian religion is entitled to any re-
Spect whatsoever, if he is a prOfeSsed
unbeliever. Christianity is real I
llVlng. abiding experience in the heart, !
and WhoSOeYer hasn't that, can rant ana |
prate about Christianity, but cannot !
speak of it intelligently-
Amusing is the plea for civiliZa- |
ton divorced from all religious con-
SlderatiOns. Heaven preserve US from |
such a grand civilization of agnOstics,
The Bible charaCterizes them mimi |
tably- They are fools They know I
nothing They are corrupt. They /
belle the testimony of their twn con- /
science in order to live uurestrained |
by "enslaving" truths. And because /
of all that they are also an abOmf- /
nation to tho Lord.

Details Regarding Affair Are MeageF
From the Fact That the Wires
Are All Down.

Manila. Jan. 2S.-A wireless re-

anga confirms the report of the STAY
ing of Capt. Patrick McNally of the
Philippine scouts, but increases the
number OF those killed with him to ten
instead of nine, as at first reported.
Fourteen scouts were wounded by
tribesmen. Captain McNally of the

were killed.
No details OF the fighting have
been received, but it is supposed to
have been another Of the attacks that
the Igorrotes have been keeping up
for the past several weeks on the
forces under General Pershing. Early
last week Captain Rhoa and detach-

tackled by tribesmen, while crossing

there was no reason for anyone to op-

that under the international obliga-

we may.
"But if we are bound not to exempt
