BIBLE AS LITERATURE.
Good Example of 3Iuch Thinly Veiled

Because of the passing away of the old
time "familiarity with the English Bl

passca a resolution expressive of Its
nope and wirh 'that public sentiment
would permit the Bible "to be read and
studied" In the public echools generally,
but simply "as a litrary work of the
nignest and purest type, side by side with
the poetry and prose which it has inspired

Bible treated as a "theolneieni hMi,

for that very reason, however th

ior me secular purpose of giving purely
literary Instruction: and its intrnduninn
would be opposed not less earnestly than
was the purely perfunctory reading of
ixiscdses irom me xtioie with which the
aauy sessions or state schools usualli;
were once opened. 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.

change of spirit which cannot be "called
lers than revolutionary in Its signifi
cance. 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

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

HOW ROBBERS HELD UP BURLING
TON FLYER.
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.
