ANOTHER DOtJBTER.
How Bov. B. Hober Newton Construes
the Bible.
Mr. Beecher is no longer the only or-
thodox pastor in this vicinity who 'pref-
ers to enstrue the Bible for himself. The
follow'jPpbstrttcta from a sermon, by
Rev. IWWleber Newton, of All Soul's
church (Protestant Episcopal, will make
the hair of many an orthodox Christian
stand on end. Whether right or wrong,
Mr. Newton may confidently expect to
speedily become the most industriously
abused man in the church. "It is a
wrong use of the Bible," said the preach-
er, "to go to it as an authority in uny
sphere, except that of religion and the
ology. The Bible was appealed to in
olden times to answer such questions as
how the world came Into being, how it
was peopled with life, how it was to bo
ultimately destroyed and many other
problems of like nature. In those days
the people were seeking answers to
questions of this kind and the Bible gave
the answers in some of the finest pieces
of poetry on record. The story of the
creation and the beautiful legend of the
Garden of Eden, however, were but
variations of the same stories which had
been told before, but they were related
ii# a grander style than ever. As the
human race has advanced and human
knowledge has increased, mankind has
learned that these old stories of the
creation were written to satisfy the
longings of a thirsty curiosity which
could not be thoroughly satisfied in the
condition of the man at the time when
they were written. To pretend to use
the Bible in these days as an answer to
the questions regarding creation and
the progress of the human race is wrong.
The growing knowledge of man con-
cerning himself and Uod is the real
revelation of God and the Bible iu the
olden times was but the performance
of that revelation. It is the pleasure of
God that man shall learn something of
himself, and after centuries of study,
the dawn of knowledge is just, breaking
In upon us. llad it pleased the omnipo-
tent Creator to give us the knowledge
which we are just beginning to acquire
3,000 years ago,to reveal to us the whole
truth, he would have robbed us of the
discipline of mind which is tke result of
our constant study of ourselves and our
discoveries in the realms of science.
"How could it be possible," Mr. New-
ton asked, "that a book could have been
written three thousand years ago which
would help men then In their search
after truth in regard to the crcation, and
which would continue level to the prog-
ress of this age ? Such a book, if writ-
ten, would have been Incomprehensi-
ble to those to whom it was addressed.
Turning to the story of the creation we
found substantially a story that waB
thought out by the noblest minds centu
ries before Moses was born. When we
analyze the tradition philosophically
we find it to be profound; as poetry we
found it to be lovely. When my chil-
dren ask for a philosophical view of the
world's creation," said the preacher,
"I turn to these old stories and recount
them, these traditions embracing
crude theology which was all sufficient
for the age in which they were promul-
gated. But in this century we should
make no attempt to reconcile Genesis
with the theory of the origin of species.
Let us truly and surely discard at
once all ideas of this kind. If Moses was
mistaken in his history of the Creution,
his mistakes W«re the mistakes of his
age. The grand truths which Moses
penned have not died. "In the begin-
ning God created the Heavens and
Earth" is a truth fhat can never die. It
is a wrong use of the Bible to construct
from it a biblical system of religion
and theology, and insist that unless this
system is adopted as the guide of life
man cannot be saved. One of the great-
est monstrosities of the Christian world
is the Christian catechism which is put
in the hands of Sunday school scholars.
It this catechism "proof texts" are
found which have been torn bodily from
the living truth of which they have
formed a part in the scriptures, and
Jilaced in a theological cabinet. All are
umbled together in one Mosaic mass,
without regard to their connection with
the text from which they are taken.
The unknown poet who wrote the
fifty-first psalm, said: "In sin did my
mother conceive me." In the catechism
these words are used as a proof-text to
show that man is totally depraved. In
Boclesiastes it is said that, If a tree fall
t6 the north or south there it shall lie,
and this is used in theology to give the
idea that after death there is no recove-
ry. The author of these words had no
knowledge of the life to come, but now
the most atrocious doctrine which Chris
tianity has given to the world is based
on "his words, which are used as a proof;
text on the catechism, and are construed
as no sane man would construe the
words. You cannot construct the sys-
tem of theology out of the Bible unless
you take Christ himself as your example.
He is a whole system of theology him-
self, the image of the Father restored in
humanity. I want no more, and I am
With the authority of Jesus

A Sioux Bill of Fare. *
One of the peculiarities of the latest
United States style of feeding the noble
red man is the fact that he is given gov-
ernment rattens, and at the same time
appropriations are made which are sup-
posed to maintain him.
Sometimes a wild Indian, who don't
know much about groceries and how to
prepare them for food, comes in and
drawd liis regular soldier rations In this
way. For instance, up in the Sitting
Bml country a while ago, uu Indian
caine in from the warpath who had
never seen uny of the paleface style of
food, and drew his rations.
He made a light meal of unground
coffee the first day, and as he overate
and the coffee swelled on him, he had
difficulty in buttoning his pants around
the pain that he had on hand.
lie felt very unhappy for a day or
two, but laid it to the fact that he hadn't
exercised much, and the consequent
ennui and indigestion resulted there-
from.
As soon as he succeeded in getting his
interior department quieted down a lit-
tle, he tackled his ration of candles.
These lie decided to parboil, in order to
avoid trouble from indigestion. The
dish was not so much of a glittering sue.
cess as he anticipated, and as he re-
morsefully picked the candle wicking
out of his teeth with a tent pin he made
some remark that grated harshly on the
aesthetic ears of those who stood near.
He then tried a meal of yeast powder
with vinegar. He ate the yeast powder
and then took a pint of extremely potent
vinegar, and the result of such an un
fortunate circumstance is not gratify-
j&very little while a look jf pain
would couie over the features of the no-
ble child of the forest, and then he
would jump about seventeen feet and
try to kick a cloud out of the sky. Then
he would sit down and think over his
past life.
It took about a week for him to get
back to where he dared to get up an-
other meal for himself. Then he fricas-
seed a couple of pounds of laundry soap
and ate that.
Soap Is all right for external purposes
or lor treating a pair of soiled socks,
but it does not assimilate with the gus-
tric juice readily, and those who have
tried laundry soap as a relish do not
seem to think that it will ever arrive at
any degree of prominence as an article
of diet.
That is why this untutored child of
nature swore. He had never received
the benefits of early training in profani
ty, and his language, therefore, was dis-
connected and rambling; but when we
consider that he was ignorant of our
language, and that every little while he
had to stop and hold on to his digester
with both'hands and dig great holes in
the earth with his toes, the remarks
didn't seem altogether out of place or
irrelevant.
When a gallon or so of agitated bak-
ing powder and vinegar is singing its
little song in. the innermost recesses of
an Indian, and this has been followed
by the treatment of laundry soap, the
student of human nature can find a wide
field for observation in* that locality.
The earnest and occupied look, the
troubled expression of the countenance,
followed by quick, nervous twitching of
the muscle of the face, and then the
swelling up and the bursting of the sus-
pender button, the deep-drawn sigh and
the smothered cuss-word, all betoken
the gastric agitation going on within.
This is why un Indian prefers a link
of bologna sausage and a two-year-old
dog to the high priced groceries so com
mon to our modern civilization.—Lar
