THE BIBLE IS A SPIRITUAL BOOK
. (Copyrighted by the San Jose Mercury)
I. Many people think they see that the Hible is not intended
,a a text book on geology or astronomy or history, but that it
'5ft a spiritual text book, and from its first page to the last all
"v3tif,t&Jiaonf are intended to be spiritual. Much of it is clothed
jirj figurative or allegorical language or is in the form of nar
jritive. , This, so it is claimed, is not to teach history but to
' p&t the spiritual lessons intended to be conveyed in such form
M to appeal to the unspiritual man. This is done for the same
reason that the secular text books prepared for beginners are
made ao as to appeal to the immature mind.
For example, the first leftsons in arithmetic usually are about
. like the following: "Willie had one apple and his mother gave
liiin two more; how many apples had Willie then?" Or: "James
had five apples and he gave his sister Mary two apples; how
' many apples had he leftf" The purpose of these hyiothetical
short stories it simply to teach arithmetic. What would we
thhk of the teacher who would direct the child's mind in the
- consideration of these simple problems, not to the mathematical
results to be obtained from them, but only to the thought of
the. goodness of Willie's mother in giving him two apples and
of ithe 'unselfishness of James in giving his sister two of his
'five apples T Whatever effect this might have upon the child,
it Certainly would not tech him arithmetic. Although these
fj,mple problems are told in attractive stories, it is the teacher's
province to direct the thought of the pupil, not to the stories
but to the lesson in numbers they are intended to convey.
- jSo the atories of the Old Testament are told allegorically
t interest the immature spiritual student, young or old, not in
tie. storiea themselves which are not the important things, but
ia the spiritual lessons which these stories are designed to
tea6h. By these stories the Old Testament illustrates the dev
elopment of man from his primitive, undeveloped, ignorant
state to the condition of spiritual strength and maturity illus
trated by the life of Jesus the Christ. In order to show this
development it is necessary to carry the typical man through
raariy generations of changing experiences and struggles before
he! ia finally brought to the "full stature of the perfect man."
Tie! stories which do this are not intended to be historical
1 realities any more than the little arithmetic stories cited above.
These stories are told in the allegorical or narrative form-in
" trder the-more strikingly and effectively to teach the spiritual
lesson's Intended to be conveyed by them.
. t"r ouuuitcu uk a general acceptance or this view
rould sweep away many of the difficulties which the modern
'eactier Of religion encounters in his efforts to reconcile the
lateral statements of the Old Testament with modern scientific
knowledge and discovery. These storks begin with the creation
f;mwrsJ3d his experiences in the primitive Garden of Eden;
wise andnatural stages they follow him through his slavery
he darkness of Egypt; his journey through the "wilderness
iiiaM into the ''promised land;" through wars and famines:
bhgh temptation and yielding; through suffering and repent-
if through periods of depressing doubt and fear and of
ime exaltation; and finally they bring him to the new
ensation, to the birth of the spirit that comes through purity
humility to the acknowledged Son of God, manifesting the
i Spirit and doing His works.

sarcasm. But why nhonld they
not be raised? First, In order to
protect American labor and capi

WHY XOT FOREVER?
It Is all right to utilize General
Pershing's great abilities in the
preparation of plans on paper for
the part the United States is to
play in the next war, bat it is a
safe bet that the general will be
dead long before that event ar
rives, and that this generation
will have passed from the stage.
Possibly the battles of the future
will be fought largely in the air.
Such problems are worthy of the
study of the best minds in the
army, but the hope will be gene
ral that it will be many years be
fore the United States will again
take up arms. A protracted
period of peace followed the close
of the Napoleonic, wars, and this
is likely to be repeated as a re
sult of the exhaustion produced
by the world war. Philadelphia
Record.
Why say the hope will be gen
eral that it will be many years
before the United States will take
up arms?
Why not forever?
The battles of the future, if
there are any more great armed
conflicts, will surely be fought
largely in the air.
Bat why not let the battles of
the future be fought around the
council tables in a federation of
the world's nations? That is now
and will continue to be the great
est issue before all the billion,
six hundred million people now
living, and their children and
children's children, till universal
peace, founded on universal jus
tice, is absolutely established.
