The Pennsylvania the Most Vnlunhle Railroad Property In the World No Strike on II. fc O. The train records show that In the week ended Feb. 8 there were received and for warded at Indianapolis a total of 23,S3 cars, 1H.02S tclng loaded, the lightest loaded car movement In many months, and more than 3.000 fewer loaded cars than In the preceding week. The falling off was chiefly with the Big Four 2.1D0, and the Pennsylvania 1,233 fewer than In the week ending- Feb. 1. It was the first time the present winter that the roads were com pnllcd to cut down the number of loaded rars per train fully 20 per cent. Snow blockades in the East, North and West were important factors in cutting down tonnage, shippers showing some hesitancy In loading freight on account of delay In moving It, ami the greater part of the week It was too cold to admit of shipments of freights of a perishable character, the commission merchants shipping only In cars that were heated. East-bound traf fic Is light, while west-bound It Is in ex cess of east-bound tonnage, on account of heavy shipments of anthracite coal and higher class freights. Western merchants having commenced laying In spring and summer stocks of goods; and from this time on west-bound tonnage will improve. With north-and-south roads a decrease In traf fic Is shown, but not to so pronounced an extent as with east-and-west lines, an im portant item being the large movement of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois coal, manu facturers now being large consumers. In other lines of freight the shipments are in excess of the usual February volume, when the weather permits, all industries being unusually well employed for winter months. The packing houses, stockyards and flouring mills are doing more business than usual. Lumber dealers are getting in their stock, much of which has been delayed by the car shortage of months past. That rates are well maintained is evidenced in the handsome earnings the lines are showing from week to week, even with the lighter traffic. Freight officials state that there is plenty of business In sight had the companies power to haul Jt, there being more trouble on this score than lrom car shortage. The following table shows the number of cars handled at this point for the week ended Feb. 8, and for the corresponding weeks of lful and 13o0: Name of Road. 1W2. 1101. 1900.

It is stated that the persistent rumor that has been in circulation of late of a probable strike on the Baltimore & Ohio on account of a disagreement between the managment and the railway orders, have no foundation. The Pittsburg Post says: "In dications do not bear out these reports. The different committees representing the four railroad brotherhoods of the Baltimore & Ohio system were in Baltimore the first of the week in conference with General Manager J. L. Potter, of the Baltimore &, Ohio, and they have returned with no ex pression of fear that matters will not be amicably settled at their next meeting with this official. They went to confer with him regarding a scale of wage s for the current year. There are also a number of minor concessions the various brotherhoods will ask, looking to a more equitable distri bution of runs and division work. In turn the men declare they are willing to con cede something to the company adjusting the road's affairs to a new system of op eration. At the meeting from which the committees have just returned General Manager Potter arranged to meet the Bro therhood of Locomotive Firemen again on Feb. 18, the Brotherhood, of Locomotive Engineers, Fob. 25, and the Order of Rail way Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen on March 4. Commit tees of each one of these orders from all of the divisions of the system will meet in the same conference." To Enfnree Cleanliness. The St. Louis & San Francisco road has issued an order forbidding the use of to bacco by passenger trainmen in uniform on duty and by employes in general around railway stations. The anti-tobacco rule or iginated in the office of B. L. Winchell, general manager of the road. Its object, the officials of the system say, is to keep the stations cleaner and add to the comfort of the passengers. The rule went into ef fect Feb. 5 and the management expects it to become a permanent rule. As with other rules of the company, dismissal is the penalty for repeated violations. Train men, ticket agents, baggagemen and all employed on passenger trains or in or about railway stations must comply with the mandate, and, while primarily aimed at cigarettes, pipes and cigars, the order em braces chewing tobacco as well. InterehaiiKenhle MIIeHRe. Whether the trunk lines will adopt inter changeable mileage books Is still a ques tfon. The Pennsylvania, the Erie, the Le high Valley, the Lackawanna, the Balti more & Ohio and the Chesapeake &. Ohio are said to favor it. while the Philad lphia & Reading and the Jersey Central a un decided, and the New York Central and West Shore are opposed to. the plan. The belief is quite general among passenger men that should the trunk lines take such a step an interchangeable mileage book will be adopted which will be good over all lines in the United States. Ilelt Iloail Trnfflc. In the week ended Feb. 8 there were transfered over the Belt road 16.S32 cars, 1.S97 fewer than In the week preceding; Belt road engines delivered at the stockyards 1.017 carloads of live stock, and for pri vate switches on its line. 1.13S cars. Personal, Lncnl and General Notes. Benjamin Norton denies that he will re tire from the presidency of the Toledo. St. Louis & Western. Oscar Murray, vice president of the Bal timore & Ohio, will leave Hot Springs for his headquarters at Baltimore on Feb. 15. Stock of the Big Four sold last week at K6 per share, which made it, with a 2 per cent, dividend, li. the highest figure In its history. The jurisdiction of D. M. Calkings. gen eral baggage master of the Big Four lines, has been extended over the Cincinnati Northern. Work is so pressing with the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton shops at Lima that five days of the week the shops are oper ated fifteen hours a day. With the retirement of . S. Igan. who foes to the Grand Trunk road to-day. E. A. Fltthugh again becomes general man ager of the Central Vermont. Frederick Harvey, who has won fame for his excellent service, has been given charKe of the dining car and eating house service on the St. Louis & San Francisco. The Pere Marquette road announces that It will make the same rates to all points In Michigan from Milwaukee as from Chi cugo. thus doing away with the differential. H. W. Fallows has been appointed travel Inn inspector of the Indianapolis weighing and Inspection bureau, vice F. J. Burr, pro moted to chief Inspector, succeeding J. B. Kekman, deceased. Harrison Smith, four years ago a street cur conductor in Toledo, went to Alaska several months ago, and writes a friend that he took a claim 130 miles from Clrcla City, which he has sold to the East Con tinent Mining Company for ?73',00U, it being his entire holdings. The railway branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of Columbus will on Feb. L'O give a complimentary dinner to the railway officials who are prominent in sus taining the association. Notice has been given by the Baltimore & Ohio that excursion agents will no longer operate over their lines. The com pany will hereafter conduct this feature of its passenger traffic. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois, which, within the last six months has received twenty-two locomotives, last week placed an order for fifteen additional, most of them heavy freight engines. The gross earnings of the Chesapeake & Ohio show an increase for January over the same month last year of 512,233. the passenger as well as the freight depart ment sharing in the increase. The Detroit Southern, of which J. W. Sherwood was recently appointed general manager, will be extended from Jackson to Dean, and when completed the line will be from Detroit to Ironton. on the Ohio river. The Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton on Saturday placed a contract for two wide end vestibule coaches, sixty-five feet in length and provided with all modern im provements in the way of heating and lighting. The Wabash will erect a passenger sta tion on the ground it recently purchased near the main fntrance of the world's fair terminal at St. Louis, the structure to cost $50. '. The company has completed ar rangements for handling freignt at that point. Daniel Hardy, who has been appointed general superintendent of the Missouri Pa cific lines, entered railroad service on the Panhandle as a track laborer in lStö. On that road he rose to the position of train dispatcher, which he held for eight years, and then went West. The last municipal obstacle to elevating h tmoVc of fh PpnnsvlvAnla. at a num ber of points on its line between New York and Washington has been removed, and the company will at once begin the work at Harrison. Newark. Trenton, Morrisville, Chester and Wilmington. On May 1 the Canadian Pacific will put on a transcontinental service of three trains a week, making the run in three days. The equipment of the train will be so constructed that passengers can look at the scenery on the line from conveniently arranged observation windows. The new offices of the Wabash at Pitts burg will be completed by March 1, and it will be made the occasion for a meeting of the prominent officials of the lines. Joseph Ramsey, president, Milton Knight, freight traffic manager, and C. S. Crane, general passenger agent, will be present. The Official Railway Guide for February has been considerably enlarged. 800 rail roads being represented, and includes con siderable interesting railway news. The real object in enlarging the puoeation is to keeji it in the list of second-class mail matter, thus avoiding a recent ruling of the Pcstofflce Department. The consolidation of departments of the Toledo & Ohio Central with those of the Hocking Valley road at Columbus has thrown a number of men out of employ ment at Toledo, and M. S. Conners, gen eral superintendent of the Hocking Valley, has furnished a number of them with em ployment at increased salaries. Eugene Zimmerman, vice president of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, is said to be one of the leading promoters of a company which proposes to pvrohase the Chesapeake & Nashville road and extend it into Nashville, where connection will be made with the Cincinnati Southern, thus forming another route between Cin cinnati and Nashville. The distance be tween the two points would be. 301 miles, the same as that of the Louisville Äs Nash ville and the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis line. The Wall-street Journal says: "The Pennsylvania property is nearly, if not quite, the most valuable railway property in the world. The company pays all fixed charges from income received from prop erties owned. Theoretically it could lose all its net earnings and still pay all fixed charges. This puts the stock in a very a-rtranrAinnrv nnsitinn. and when the prof- its of purchases made in the last two years begin to accrue to tha parent com pany, as the profits of the small roads purchased in Pennsylvania and elsewhere accrued in preceding decades, Pennsylvania stock will occupy a very unique position." The Railroad Employe, published at Newark, N. J., contains an excellent pic ture of George Haylor, recently appointed assistant general passenger agent of the Lackawanna road, and a sketch of his railroad career. It omits an interesting part of his history. He was a Sandusky boy, and H. M. Bronson, assistant general passenger agent of the Big Four, then general passenger agent of the Sandusky division of the Big Four (then the C, S. Är C. road), employed Mr. Haylor as an of fice boy. and when appointed general pas senger agent of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western, brought Mr. Haylor to Indian apolis as his chief clerk. C. E. Henderson, general manager, issued an order to the effect that a custom indulged in by the passenger department of cashing checks offered by employes be stopped, and among the first to ask that a check be cashed was another official of the road. Mr. Hay lor Incurred his displeasure by refusing to cash it, and the official was so angered that he made it so unpleasant that Mr. Bronson found Mr. Haylor another place on the Union Pacific road, where he re mained until he was appointed agent of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton and the Monon lines at Indianapolis. When Wilbur Lee was made general passenger agent of the Lackawanna road he selected Mr. Haylor as his chief clerk, and he now is promoted to assistant general passenger agent of the lines. UNITED IRISH LEAGUE. A Branch of the Order Formed In This City. A branch of the United Irish League was formed yesterday afternoon at a meeting held in the Occidental Hotel. P'ifty Irish men signed their names to a petition for a charter. It was decided to not apply for a charter from the national organization in New York for one month, as it was thought more names could be procured. The following officers were elected: Presi dent, John H. Mahoney; first vice president, James A. Deery; second vice president, John Agnew; corresponding secretary, Har ry Royse; financial secretary, Paul Bonner; treasurer, John J. Blackwell. Another meeting of the league will be held next Sunday afternoon in the Occidental. The I'atrlckshurjf Coal Field. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal. The town of Patricksburg, Owen county, has been long known to the state geologist and others acquainted with the geology of this section as being in the center of one of the finest fields of white ash block coal to be found in the State. In fact it has been said that in. under and around this ham'tet lies the best field of undeveloped coal in Indiana. Multiplied and various have been the movements during the last thirty years by different railroad organizations to reach this coveted wealth, but through influences which need not here be enumerated, all such efforts have been followed bv an equal number of failures. The C. B. & T. H. R. H. Company raised the spirits of the popu lace here for a season within the last three years, but it too has passed into history. Another movement inaugurated within the last few weeks has again rekindled the dying embers and despondent spirits are once more aplow. Mr. R. N. Young, repre senting A. L. Smith it Co., of Indianapolis, whose aim is to construct a coal road from Indianapolis direct to the coal fields of Linton, by way of this place, has spent the last two weeks In securing options on coal lands here, and has been signally success ful, having secured l,om acres to date. Mr. Young has returned to Indianapolis to make a report of his efforts and will return here In ten days to continue the work of leasing and buying coal lands, and the prospects are almost flattering that 2.. or 3.) more acres will have been secured within one week after his return. Parties are now engaged in securing the right of way on the proposed line to within a few miles north of this place. Land owners here have exhibited a spirit unprecedented heretofore in parting with their land, in order to Invite capitalists to develop a wealth hidden beneath our feet. C. K. COATS. Patrlcksburg.

The Suhject Not Entered I'pon In Any Spirit of Controversy, but Rather as a. Duty. At Central-avenue M. E. Church yester day morning Rev. H. W. Kellogg took for his subject, "Higher Criticism and How to Treat It." He said: "It is not because I care to discuss these controversial subjects, but rather because I feel the need of doing so, that I introduce this theme. Indeed, 1 have a great aver sion to anything that tends to awaken dispute, but there come times when the popular rrlnd Is restless and uncertain, and the only right thing to do is to crucify one's natural Inclinations and face the dif ficulty and attempt at least to assist the faith of the honest seeker for truth. If one oe a leader of religious thought he can not do less than this and be true. And then one is liable to be misunderstood and even his motives questioned. This is not pleasant, but for the sake of directing faith through difficult passes he must forego all self-interest and self-consideration. For these reasons it seems to me that any true minister of the gospel will peek to discuss these themes which are awakening such bitter controversy In the Interests of the faith he regards more precious than all else in the wcrld. The religious world is very sensitiv Just now on the subject of higher criticism. It is a ghost which is frighten ing many who do not understand its mean ing. It is also an occasion for others who so desire to form reasons for rejecting Christianity and all religious obligation. These, however, who have always been represented in the world, will find some reason for their action, if not this one. But this is an opportunity not to be neg lected. "There is another large class which is confused. They hear many things and do not know just what to believe. They are met by two classes of teachers; one who hopes to save them from doubt by denounc ing the 'critic.' calling him bad names and questioning his' method, and mixing up all critics into one class they charge all with malicious attempt to ruin the Bible and destroy the faith of men. "Indiscriminate treatment of higher criti cism, while intended for good and aimed at the disease of the times, is nevertheless of no advantage to the interests of truth, and will ultimately result in great Injury to the very faith which these misguided zealots are aiming to assist. This is the verdict of history, and it is safe to be guided by its voice in predicting the results of the future. Already the effect of such shortsightedness is being felt, and many who have trusted to these denouncers for safeguards are mistrusting their ability to protect them in the fearful conflict that is raging. Truth can never receive any per manent good from false methods. And what Is not permanent is of no advantage to truth, for truth sweeps a long range and the broad fields. . The eternities are her courses and she looks to the infinite for her decrees. MORE DIFFICULT TASK. "The other class has a more difficult task. It must encounter old notions which have become almost religious convictions. In deed, in some cases, because of their long associations with faiths, they are consid ered as reliable as revelations themselves. This was the most stubborn thing the Mas ter had to encounter. Traditions were as sacred as truth, and, while erroneous, yet the teachers of His day were not willing to give them up. It is not only possible, but there can be no doubt, that we. of the good old Puritanic teachings and we thank God we ever had such teaching even if it had some error mixed with it for it was sincere I say it is now most evident that we have inherited some notions from our fathers which we have regarded of as great im portance as the truth of God, which we wiil have to give up with the advance of knowl edge. Now, this second class of helpers who come to aid faith, recognize this, and hence they attempt to discriminate. This is is a very difficult matter to do wisely and correctly. The untrained mind finds it much easier to reject than to modify. They fear that there may be something dangerous in departing from the oid moorings, so it clings to what is familiar. This is regarded the safe thing. 'I will accept everything as it is, blindly, for fear I may deny what is important.' This is the language of a fear ful mind, and the untrained mind is fear ful. But is not this best? Not always. Surely not for the interests of advancing truth. Surely not for the young and vigor ous mind of to-day which Is becoming trained. No one met the abuses of this dis position with such severity as did our Mas ter. The world was in bondage to this su perstitious faith. Traditions were held with the same confidence as essentials. To en counter such mind was to be dreaded as it is to-day. "We all acknowledge the restlessness of this age. The causes for this are many. Mainly the Increase of knowledge a knowl edge which has no regard for the old or the sacred, but seeks to Investigate everything for the sake of truth. I might right here record my confidence in the sincerity of this age. Men are not doubting so much to-day because they wish to doubt as be cause they are more particular about what they believe. They want the truth. The age holds this in priceless value. It is more than traditions or institutions. Everything is yielded up for the sake of the true. Cer-. talnly nothing very harmful can come out of such a spirit In the long run. UNFORTUNATELY CHOSEN. "This spirit has begotten what is known as 'higher criticism. It is a name unfor tunatelj' chosen, as it does not express, ex cept to scholars, what is meant. It is simply the scientific method of seeking for the truth by examining the text and the structure of the Bible. That is, men who become specialists through great scholar ship take up a study of the language of the Bible. They discover by a familiarity with ancient languages that certain words and certain forms of expressions are introduced, in the growth of language, at certain pe riods of history. Just as an historian in the ages to come, in looking over our times, can tell when a word came into use and became a part of our language. Our Philip pine war has created a number of new terms. Now, by the date of these words, we attempt to determine the date of the books of the Bible and the date of certain parts of books. It is a severe study, and only a few, comparatively, are able to ac complish successfully what is intended. The Germans have excelled in this, as we might expect. I am not dealing in this discourse with the conclusions, but rather the influence on religious thought. The science, for it may be ranked as such, has passed through many stages of develop ment. It has created a large and increasing class of investigators. The English, and especially the Scotch, scholars are now very prominent. "The conclusions are variously estimated. There have been many changes from the first positions taken by the German schol ars. This seemed almost destructive, as nearly all criticism has been at its begin ning. But now a better scholarship is ap plied and great modifications have re sulted. The later effect is not destructive. Some of the books that were supposed to have been written at a certain period have been located at a different time. The au thorship of some books has been ques tioned. The composition of certain books has been decided to be quite different from what was once supposed. For instance, the book of Isaiah seems to be the work of such a long period of linguistic changes that it seems hard to assign it to one au thor. Yet even among the scholars them selves there is a difference of opinions. Other books indicate that they belong to another age than that assigned by com mon belief some parts of books seem to be questioned. But the critics do not agree in many things. Dr. Görden, of Boston, a scholar abreast of the times, says that higher criticism has in all probability ex hausted itself. That it has gone over the entire ground, examined every text and every word and is about through. What we have will not be much changed by what is liable to come in the future. Now this may be consoling to those who are fearful. That is. we do now know about the worst that can come. SUMMED 11 IN BOOKS. "It is not our business to inquire what we have lost, or what haw we gained? The summing up of this matter can be found in various books. One of the best of these books is 'Modern Criticism and the Preaching of the Old Testament." by George Adam Smith. It Is the published 'Yale lectures.' Dr. Smith is foremost in the scholarships of Bible literature and is capable of deciding the true effects of this work. He is professor of Old Testament literature in the College of the Free Church of Scotland. Glasgow. The effect as I may sum it up briefly is that higher criticism has modified popular opinion con cerning the nature of the Bible. Now, when I say this I refer to popular opinion, which has been formed under extreme Protestant teachings. We have held some very queer notions concerning the Bible as a book. We have at times almost wor shiped it. When we rebelled against the Church of Rome and resisted its authority we naturally and rightly appealed to the authority of the Bible. But we did not stop there. We substituted the book for the church. And the respect 'we had for the book grew into an almost worshipful reverence. We came to regard the book, rather than the message, as of first impor tance. It was as Bishop Taylor used to say, 'Like trying to get a dinner out of the signboard rather than at the hotel.' We forgot that only in God could we get life, and almost thought that we got it out of a book. We came to place the book very much In the position of the book of the Mormons or the Mohammedans, who claimed to have received the Koran from heaven. We overlooked the human ele ment in it and concluded that everything about the book had a divine significance. With some, even the words and letters, with every form of expression was of di vine origin. I remember when I thought that the Bible as we have it in English was as divine as if it had come from heav en. However fond we may become of such an idea and however it may contribute to our religious superstitions It is wrong. It is wrong because it Is extreme. The re vision of the English Bible rebuked this false idea, but greatly distressed those whose faith in God was based on such a notion. I heard good men and women la menting at the time that our Holy Bible was being destroyed by these scholars and another one was to take its place. They had mistaken the nature of the Bible. But I am of the opinion that the revising of our English Bible began the real disturb ance In the popular mind which has re suited in much of this questioning about the nature of the Bible, and this is not to be regretted. "It is the most difficult thing in the wortd to discriminate against errors con cerning a subject and riot deny the sub Juct. Some seemed to feel that if the book was to be changed in any way, even in words, it would affect the truth. So many lost their faith in the Bible. It was. I re peat, an enevitable result of extreme no tions which could not long stand the test of truth. Now what was effected on the popu lar mind by the changing of the words and terms of the Bible by the revision has been done in a more extensive way by the change of the dates, composition and na ture of some of the books. We can all see now that by the revision no harm was done the truth of the Bible. The truth was better brought to light. So we shall see that the real truth of the book has not been in jured by these scholars. I do not believe that the higher critic is to b'iame for this restlessness of faith so much as the teach ers of foolish and untenable positions con cerning the naturt of the Bible. NATURE ÖF INSPIRATION. "It is not my purpose at this time to enter into the discussion of the nature of Inspiration. This Is a great theme and may come up for attention in the future. I do want to assure you that the scholar who examines conscentlously may not be so much an enemy of the Bible as the one who insists on maintaining certain false Ideas concerning the Bible without thought. Now suppose there were two Isaiahs in- rtead of one, one living before the captivity and one after, what effect does that have on the truth of the Bible or that part of the Bible which this book of prophesy con tains? Cannot you distinguish between the real truth and the form in which it comes to us? Cannot you distinguish between the real truth and the form in which it comes to us? So if Daniel should be a bock of later date how does that affect my need of salvation and the seeking of life in Jesus? "Suppose it shou'id be discovered that the book of Genesis is composed of numer ous parts, a collection of books rather than one composition, and suppose that it is discovered that Moses used the material he found current among the people, brought down from the earliest date in tradition, and this was exalted and filled with illumi nation by the divine spirit and through it he taught the wondeifu'l truth of God the Creator, does the mighty and precious truth of the Spiritual God as the origi nator of all things loose any of its value on this account? Any more than that he used the language of the people as a medium for the conveyance of the truth? Why does the form destroy the truth in one case any more than in the other? You say 'that is not as I supposed. Well what of that? What you or 1 have supposed does not have much Influence, or at least, should not. "The previous notion does not enter into consideration with any power. It does not with the scholar who is looking only for the truth. The value of the book of Genesis is not in that it was written by a certain man or that it contains the tingle com position of one individual, but that it holds the truth of God as the Creator. Its value is not in its description of the manner in which God created the worlds, we can learn them from science. But the one essential truth which will never perish and will for ever preserve the book as divine is that God the Eternal, one God, in contrast from all other notions then extant in 'the world, this one pervading spirit moved amid creation's forces bringing forth his worlds and life and human spirit. What a sublime idea. It has mounded history. It was destined to redeem man. The book will live. You could not destroy it if you wished to do so. Its truth makes happy a world. "Another effect of higher criticism has been to emphasize the spiritual. The truth of the Bible is a spiritual truth. It is a record of spiritual operations in the history of man. It teaches us God and His attempt to deliver man from his sins and restore him to holiness. The Holy Spirit has been working in the world from the beginning and progressing toward sublime ends. Holy men who were moved by this spirit recorded the facts; these are relia ble as the truth in the rocks or in the worlds above us. God permitted these spiritual men to see and to tell the story to the world. They told it, and on the truth of the facts it will live, not on the time or. manner of their telling it. "Jesus encountered, strange to say, this very mistake which we have been making in our time men who had perverted the truth by human inventions. They had be come slaves to the letter of the Scriptures. They had killed the spirit of their error. He was the severest critic the world has ever known. He showed them that there were certain things in their teachings which they were to let go. These had been outgrown by the advance of the Spirit's work for man. To hold to them as even sacred was to hinder the work of the Spirit. Literal interpretations of the Scrip tures had prepared the minds of the na tion he came to save, with more preju dice against Him than anything else. He was a destructive critic. Ye iay an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' Why should they not say it for it was written in their law? But He said unto them. 'I say unto you love your enemies.' A new dav had dawned. The old must give wav to the better. It was not a violation of the sacred truth contained in their scrip tures, but it was a death to their literal rendering of it. So we have repeated the mistake and this error has again led us to the verge of rejecting the 'mighty spirit of truth.' DESTRUCTIVE METHODS. "There are those, as I have said, that take advantage of all changes to ply their destructive methods. The changes in re ligious opinion of the last few years have given them abundant opportunity to proph esy dark things. But they do not un derstand the deep roots of Christian truth which are grounded in the nature of man. There is no need of any alarm. There are some who will go too far, who will make a shipwreck of faith. "The soul will suffer as a result. Its fountains of joy will dry up and its spirit ual life will go out and sad will be the re sults, but the great heart of the world will still seek for peace and joy and love through Jesus Christ. Thej- will come to Him. as they will find it nowhere else. This will conserve the truth. This will hold sacred the story of Bethlehem and Calvary. The world will never outgrow these blessed truths as It will never outgrow water and bread. It is the hunger of the soul which will keep alive the spiritual realities and what is proclaimed in this sacred Book will ever be In demand. When you hear a man denying the essential truths, don't fear; men have always done this. They will con tinue to do this. Don't, however, blame the true scholar who has done his best to clear the atmosphere of the mists of the fals opinions. "The unwise discrimination which has been practiced by teachers' of religious thought has done much to unsettle the minds of many. Trying to hold on to Im possible things for fear of disturbing the faith of some is a bad policy for tht- truth. What Is needed at this time is men. frank and spiritual men. who are not under the dominion of prejudices created by Ignor ance; but men who face the problem of to-day with steady nerve and brave hearts and who master them; men who look into a great and expanding future with steady gaze and. hopefulness; this kind of men who come to their fellows who are perplexed and troubled and teach them the way. There are not wanting in pulpits and edi tors' chairs men who can cry against those who are in error, but who is lifting up his voice to show the multitudes of be wildered young men of this country what is the way? There are some who ate doing this work, but not as many as there should be. The experience that some of us have had in the last few rears in the fisht for failh recalls with delight the help which has come to us in the time of great need. The masters who, with infinite patience, have sympathized with our condition and have been able to lead us out Into the clear light. Changes have come concerning the nature of the Bible, but it will bt- bet ter understood through the aid of scholar ship. It will not be injured in any es sential wav. It will continue to be the guide to the seeking soul. Its voice of ! warning is the voice of Ciod. iiere are told the ways of redeeming grace. We shall love It more than we have done. The Book of our fathers will be the faithful guide to the weary, and pointing to the gates of the Celestial City, will cheer the dying. But the place it will occupy will not be the place of the Eternal Spirit, but the Spirit will be better known and followed-because of the better understanding of the Book." HAD A VERY GOOD WEEK LOCAL 91 EUCH ANTS DID WEM IN VIEW OF WEATIIEH CONDITIONS. Prices Hardening In Many Lines Ow ing to the Cold Collections Are Good-Light Cereal Stärket. In the aggregate trade for the first week of February averaged well with the correspondlnf week in former years, especially In view of the fact that part of the week was so cold as to prevent shipments of perishable freight. As a rule, most of the wholesale merchants do not look for active trade the first half of February, unless weather conditions are more favorable than usually is the case. On Commission row there was but two days In which fruits and vegetables could be shipped safely and then only in closed cars. Those two days were very busy, demonstrating- that only springlike weather is needed to give nap to business. On Commis sion row, during the week, there were ad vances in prices on several articles, onions and cabbage being of the number. Oranges are ex cellent property and move fast when weather conditions permit. The produce men are having a bu?y time, roultry, eggs, cheese and butter, all bing in active request and selling at the best prices for February in several year. Egg are so high that the consumption Is limited. Apples are selling fairly well at the high prices which prevail. Flour continues to be unsettled, but is to-day the cheapest article handled when ItH value as food Is considered. So long as the wheat market carries its present weak tone prices are not likely to Improve. Canned goods and evaporated fruits are good sellers, and in the grocery line syrups and molasses are moving freely. Sugars are firm at the revision of Fri day. Coffee is unchanged here, but is eatler In primary markets. It is said- that seldom do cerealine products sell as well as at the present time and as Irish potatoes are firmer these con ditions are likely to prevail for some time to come. On Commission row and on the whole sale streets but little complaint Is heard of col lections, which are better than usual, it is stated by persons conversant with the situation. ' Indianapolis Grain Market. Not In many months, if ever since Indianapolis had a Board of Trade, have the receipts of grain by rail been as light as the last week.
