KMT Morris St
Itev. Andrea Bard Tells of Miscon
ception of the Dlcty.
In hi aermon at St. Davld'a. Rev.
Andreaa Bard. D. D.. of Walla Walla,
gave the hlatory of God in human phil
osophy. He showed that th Intelle.t
of man had slowly grown acenstomed to
those higher conceptions of the Deity
which modern science has revealed.
He characterised Jehovah of the Old
Testament as an Immeasurable Jew
with white whiskers, and blames the
church for still holding to such child
ish conceptions which made God ridicu
lous In the realm of reason. He stated
that It might be after all more rever
ent to worship an unknown God than to
idolize a creature of ghostland.
Taking his text from Paul's sermon
In Athens. Mr. Bard said In part:
"In Athens Paul found an altar dedi
cated to the unknown God. What does
this mean? It means that the pagana
were candid enough to admit that they
had not found the Eternal. They had.
Indeed, caught glimpses of his presence.
They recognised his majesty In the bil
lows of the sea and called It Neptune.
They felt his omnipresence and named
It Mercury; they divined his power and i
Imagined Jove: they discovered nis wjs-
dom and worshiped Minerva. But they
felt that there was something beyond.
Their minds could not grasp It. Their
words could not utter It. Their lmagea
could not reflect It. They admitted
their failure. They built an altar to
the unknown God.
"Centuries have psased alnce Paul
preached in Athens. The world has ad
vanced. Poetry gave us a Shakespeare;
science found a .Darwin; music, under
Wagner, became divine. But has relig
ion kept step with this general prog
ress? We.hrsltate to reply. There are
millions outside the church who openly
profess that God is unknown. There
are millions In the church whose idea
of the Infinite is more childish and su
perstitious than that of the ancient
Greeks.
"This Is due "to our idolatry of the
Bible. The Old Testament speaks of
Ood as taking a stroll with Abram.
It 'pictures him conversing with Moses.
It makes him do rash things and ex
press repentance afterward. It permits
the psalmist to exclaim: Up, Lord!
Why sleepest thou?' Tnklng all this
literally, we nave belittled the Infinite.
We have made him ridiculous in the
realm of reason. Jehovah appears to
the imaginr.tlon as an immeasurable Jew
with long white whiskers. It is a thou
sand times more reverent to worship de-
un
voutly at the shrine of the great
known than to idolize a creature
ghostland."

Heavy rains began on the uplands
north and south of the Columbia river
Saturday morning. The falling water,
together with melting snows on the
mountains, brought down floods and
landslides that yesterday demoralized
the train service on both sides of the
Columbia.
The Washougal river, an important
logging stream, was flooded and about
8,000.000 feet of logs wye brought down
against th long, high trestle of the

(United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington, March 16 General M.
C. Butler, former United States senator
from South Carolina, and at one time
attorney for the Electric Boat company
of New Jersey, today gave testimony
favorable to that concern on the
charges that the boat company was
using improper methods In getting bills
passed in congress.
General Butler told the investigating,
committee that he knew of no lobby be
ing maintained by the company, and
that on three occasions after he left
the senate he addressed the naval af
fairs committee , on proposed legislation
favoring his clients. He declared that
he knew of no attempt on the part of
the company, to improperly,' injUuenc

with a revolver. I thought the matter
over In my mind. I wasn't frightened
in the least.
"It wouldn't have been right to have
shot that fellow in cold blood. He
naairt narmed any or us in the least I
had the advantage of hint in every way.
He was outside under the glare of the
electric light while I was in the dark on
the inside. Bo I determined to scare
htm away without shooting.
"When I called to him to throw up
his hands, he didn't even move. I called
asain. He must have heard me but he
paid no attention to the warning.
"Then It was that I fired at his feet."
After Mrs. Babb had fired the man
stepped from the porch and was joined
by the other man and the two walked
slowly up the street together.
Mrs. Babb is a little woman, slender
and has rather a delicate appearance.
But that her nerves are in good con
dition and that she has had experience
with a gun Is evinced by her coolness
and presence of mind yesterday when
she let a man escape unharmed who was
preparing to break into and rob her own
home.
