Tho religious world today Is not

Interpretation: tho "old" and tho

tho loose constructionist, the conser

the religious world: rresbyterlans,
Methodists and Baptists, of the same
school, agree very well; but members
of the "now" school differ from the
"old" regardless of the denomination.
Furthermore, ju-t as tho future of the
republic demands tho triumph u" the
progressive forces, so the future of
Christianity demands that tho pro
gressive school of Interpretation shall
dominate the ruligiouH world.
What, then. Is the socallod "old"
conception of the rtible, how did It
come to dominate men's thinking, and
why should It be eradicated? Tho
modern conception of the Hlble differs
as widely from that held fifty years
ngo as tho Oopernionn astronomy dif
fers from the Ptolemaic. The essen
tial characteristic of the old school Is
it belief In the verbal Inspiration of
the Scriptures. Let us Inquire, then,
what is this doctrine of "verbal In
spiration?" (For the doctrine of in
spiration is fundamental to every
other doctrine ) We quote from one
of Its distinguished leaders: "Tho
Bible Is tho very utterance of the
Eternal. It is as much (Toil's own
word as If high heaven were openefl
nnd we beard God speaking to us with
human voice. Every book is Inspired
alike, nnd Is Inspired entirely. The
Bible is filled to overflowing with tho
ITolv Spirit of find, the books "of it.
tho words of it, and the very letters, perfect
of it." Dean Burgeon of Oxford In
ISfil. or take this from Dr. Hodge
of our country: 'lnf.ilibHity and au
thority attach as much to tho verbal
expression as to the revelation Itself."
Or this: "Not a wi id Is ( out lined In
the Holy Scriptures vhich is not in
the slrict-st sense Inspired, the very
punctuation not excepted. " Accord
ing to "verbal in-piration." then, the
Bible is exempt from all error In doc
trine, in history, or in science
Whence came this theory? From
Humanism, and Humanism got it from
Judaism, it originated during the pe
riod between the return trum too
Habylon captivity and the coming of
Jesus. After the days of Ezra there
was no prophet of large caliber or of
penetrating insight in Israel. Tho
fountains of inspiration bad ceased
and no further oracles were express
ed. Hence the writings of pre-Baby-lonlnn
times, ascribed to the proph
ets and to Moses, rose to n place of
reverence which became at last Idol
ntrw Every word, sellable and letter
leaders became pettifoggers. Thry
washed the outside of the platter and
left the inside unclean This same
idea of verbal insp'rtion became the
essential characteristic of the Phari
sees of Jesus' day and was later
handed on to the early fathers of the
Chri-tian church. In the sixteenth
century, however, Martin Luther
broke the 1 Ionian church in two. He
studied the Bible for himself nnd saw
at once that the idea of verbal In
spiration was mere tradition. He not
only treated the church with great
freedom, but also the Bible itself.
Calvin and Zwingli were also free in
their treatment of the scriptures,
though not so reskles- as Luther. Put
in the seventeenth century the same
mechanical view of Inspiration ngain
arose which had dominated the early
Jewish church ami wh'ch had been
held for a thousand years by tho Un
man church. The process was a nat
ural one. The seventh century was
one of storm nnd stress The protest
tints had cast aside the authority of
tho church, and it was but natural
that they should tun1, for authority to
tho Bible, ns it was al-o natural that
the pendulum should swing in this di
rection to absurd extremes. From this
time until tho nineteenth century the
lt blo was regarded as verbally in
spired. The style of the language was
and any suggestion of Imper
fection was blasphemous. Even the
vowel points in the Hebrew had all
been inserted by inspiration. To
such lengths will any theory run
when it falls into the hands of men
who lack scholarship and discern
ment. Because of this dogma of ver
bal inspiration, Christianity in the
popular mini ha been arrav
against science, and thinking men arc
inclined to believe that the scientists
hive more truth than the Christian!
inspiration. Think of the absurdity of
John Calvin bringing out the !3d
Psalm by which to prove that Coper
nicus was brong, because "tho world
also is established that It cannot be
moved." This same stupidity has ar
rayed Christianity against progress
Fifty years ago there wore ministers
all over the country defending slav
ery and quoting their authority from
this Hook. The darkest blot In tho
history of New England is the hang
ing of men. women and children for
witchcraft In Salem. That awful
gave Charles Pradlaugh his opportu
nity in England to ridicule Christian
ity, and laid the church in this coun
try open to the southing attacks of
Hubert Ingersoll. It has also estrang
ed thousands of the most cultivated
people in Christendom from the
Christian church. Men and women
from our colleges all over the coun
try never go to church. In many of
the most cultivated homes the liible is
never read. They assume that the
Christian church still clings to the
conception of fifty years ago, nnd
therefore, believe that Christian min
isters are belated and that the church
is a fossil. It is h'gh time, therefore,
that we announce in unm'stakeable
terms that the doctrine of verbal in
spiration is dead, nnd that the church
of our day nsks no intelligent man to
believe it.
The oo'lapso of the old dogma of
verbal Inspiration has been caused by
a study of the Scriptures. When and
in proportion as men did not study the
l'ihle for themselves, the Unman
church grew In power, autocracy and
corruption. Luther studied the Ta
ble, nnd Protestantism was born.
When a young man attends a theo
logical school today he usually goes
with a pagan conception of tho Bible
as a divine book which has dropped
down out of 'heaven ns the Koran Is
said to have done In the legend. Put
he at once enters upon a process of
disillusionment. He has entered a
new world, a new school of interpre
tat on He 1-arns here that tho rec
ord of revelation I- progressive. That

worshippers of the letter of the Hook i Nearly n hundred years later John
instead of worshippers of C,od. He- Wesley declared that if we gave up
cause of th;s mechanical nnd narrow j w i'.chchaft, w e must give up the Bi
conception of Inspiration the religious ide. It wns verbal in piration that
once, but religion: that he must dis
tinguish between the original text of
St r'linire and the mere traditions in
the form of dates, headings of book
interpolations, etc., which have been
inserted by tho devices of men: that
the presence of certain errors does
n t invalidate the truth of the l'.lble:
that an error of translation or date
or even of scientific conception in no
way affects the great spiritual mes
sage and truth of the Hlble; that
much of the Bible is not literary his
tory nnd does not claim to be; that the
eternal truth of Cod can be taught
through fiction and poetry and story
ns impri'ss'vely as through a literal
statement of facts.
Is the Hibie then Inspired? Most
assure lly, but not literally or verbal
lv. It is our onlv written revelation
of God. How do v know it is in-I
spired? The proofs nre many, but)
briefly (1 by the essential unity of
the Scriptures. They contain 66 books,
by how many authors, no one knows,
scattered over a period of over a thou
sand years, written independent of
one another, in places hundreds of
miles apart; yet one thought running
throughout them all. 1. e . tho gradual
unfolding of God's plan of redemption
for the human race. (2) By the re
uonse of the human conscience to its
mes-age and the effects it produces
in the lives of those who yield to its
teachings. The Semitic race has for
some reason the idea that it Is in
trusted with a mission; that through
it all the nations are to be ble.-sed;
that God is righteous and that man
must be like him. Other peoples had
gods of lust, but from the earliest re
corded history the Hebrew's God de
manded obedience, virtue, and moral
character: "Who shall ascend into
the holy hill? Ho that hath clean
hands." "Blessed re the pure in
heart." And to this day the Hebrew
people are the only people among
whom the newspaper reporters find
no scandal. Furthermore, this tribe
has a genius of every king it sees a j
better k'ng, arid over every prophet a
greater prophet And lo. one morn
ing a new babe is born in a manger.
Is the Bible inspired? It s, appears.
By their fruits ye shall know them.
The Bible lies tit tho foundation of
the Christian world. Compare Eng
land with Turkey or Germany with
India or the I'nitod States with China.
Men may dispute about this text or
the other text, but there is no disput
ing tho rise of the moral supremacy
j of the Hebrew people. There ha
linen a niigh'y historical iuo.inen:,
land out of that movement his cum"
a glorious revelation of the character
and purposes of the Almighty. Again.

.'i s preface: "Headers w ho have been
led to believe that the sacred books
of the East are full of primeval wis
dom and moral enthusiasm, will be
disappointed on consulting the-o o'

a fine mood over the attendance and
intere-t manifested In the Christian
Church revival which began yester
day under the leadership of Evangel
ists Holmes and Ridenous.
Mr. Ridenous has an unusually hap
py vein and succeeded in getting peo
ple to attempt to sing that probably
have not tried for years. They en
joyed it. too.
Then his large chorus was remark
able. The platform was nearly pack
ed with singers, and they sang with
a vim. Those who enjoy music got
a full reward for their effort in brav
ing the wind and rain. His solos
were right up to the very best, too.
He has a strong voice, has a thorough
musical education and possesses a
rare ability in throwing his whole
heart nnd soul into his work. He an
nounced that he would sing an illus
trate,) .-ong at Tuesday night's ser
vice when Mr Holmes will deliver
li s sermon on "The Devil a Liar."
Yesterday morning Mr. Holmes
spoke ef the conditions that made
Pentecost possible, pointing out that
since God is always the same, and
has the same turning desire for tho
salvation of th- lost, when the church
produces the same Pentecostal condi
tions the same results will be sure to
follow. He laid groat emphasis on
fa th. and declared that It was but
a little ni.itnr after ail L ask Pendle
ton for Christ. Faith, prayer and
w. rk assares a great revival.
Last ii gi t he spoke on the "Qual

however good the sermons of Mr
