Of course, children gave little heed to the readings; yet even mai sngni attention to the Bible pro-r voked both religious and Infidel opposition. An attempt now to introduce the formal and careful study of the Bible, though ao "a literature" only, would arouse still more violent resistance from both those camps.

A suggestion from a Christian aource that the Bible be desraded from its place of supreme elevation as "the Book," and the "Word of God," to the category of the human words of Milton and Shakespeare as merely a masterpiece of the JIterary expression of a e4nglc race, would 'once have aroused the whole English-speaking world, believing and Infidel, as a momentous surrender of pivotal re ligious position. Now It is taken asva matter of course. Simply as a text-book in English later ature, the Biblo would prove of little value in the public schools, even If re ligious opposition to it3 use was silenced. The schools are already overloaded with studies, to the great confusion of the minds of rhIM ren Tn h nf nrtv 1 1 torn T-r service the new method of teaching the Bible would have to be pursued so thor oughly that a radical transformation In the whole curriculum would be made necessary. Moreover, our public school teachers, well fitted as they may be to conduct the ordinary routine of elemen tary study, are conspicuously Incompe tent for this purely -iitcrary Instruction. Their weakest point Is on the literary side. Nor would the impression produced on children by the Bible be deep and permanent, as It has been on our race. If the singular sacred supremacy of the book tra Tint nlan tinihf Vix thn tnrhr As "a literature" merely, as man's book and not God's Book It would be only a do and tirceome study for the pupils. Its appeal to their Imagination, to their sense of wonder, to their awe,' would be gone if it was not presented to them as a supernatural production. The reason for the present greatly di minished familiarity with the Bible Is obvious. The later criticism has removed from the Bible the supernatural distinc tion which made It the English literary treasure-house, for without deep religious faith in the Bible as the one veritable message of God to man It could never have reached and maintained the place, of supremacy in our literature. Ite vigor ous English alone would never have pre served It as a book for the popular study arid as a source of literary wealth.

Same Tactics as Were" Employed on Southern Pacific In Lane County Last Fall. MOUNT CARROLL. 111., Aug. 6. It was a daring and successful train robbery that was committed at Marcus, on the Chica go. Burlington & Qulncy Railway, five miles north of Savannih. last midnight. The vestlbuled passenger train oi 11 coaches was flagged at the little station and six masked men boarded the engine. The engineer and firemen obeyed the or ders of the robbers and at once uncoupled the engine and express car from the train and ran them a quarter of a mile up the track. The robbers then blew up the ex press car with dynamite, ran the engine not a mile from Hanover, abandoned It and escaped. One of the highwaymen was killed, probably by mistake, by one of his com rades. Six sacks of money were secured, but the amount is not known. The pas sengers were- not molested. Four explo sions were required to complete the de struction of the safe, and the car was badly wrcRed. The robbers were eight In number, all masked. Evidently they were rauroaa men, one being a good engineer. William Byl, tho messenger, fired five shots at the robbers, but without effect, and an attempt wa3 made to blow him up in his car. The bandits had arranged to ditch the entire train, had not the signal to stop been heeded. Several passengers in the buffet car, including the poter. were held prisoners during the struggle to crack the safe. The body of the dead robber was put on the tender and carried by the oth ers a short distance and then thrown into the we.eds. The dead robber was a stranger in this vicinity. Kc was a mil-dlc-aged man and well dressed. There wns no w.tv tn teleirmrih In new of the hold-up, and the flagman wilked DacK ana gave the alarm.
