EW YORK , June
.9.-In his sermon today -
day Rev. Dr.
-
deals with a
subject that Is agitating -
tating the entire
Christian church at
.the present moment -
ment , viz. : "Expur-
gatlon of the Scrip-
tures. " The text
chosen was , "Let
God be true , but every man a liar. "
Romans III. , 4.
The Bible needs reconstruction according -
cording to some inside and outside the
pulpit. It Is no surprise that the world
bombards the Scriptures , but it is
amazing to find Christian minlsters
picking at this In the Bible and denyIng -
* Ing that until many good people azo
left in the for about what Parts of the
Bible they ought to believe , and what
parts reject. The heinousness of finds -
s ' 1ng fault with the Bible at this time Is
most evident. In our day the Bible is
asaslled by scurrility , by misrepresentation -
tion , by infidel scientists , by all the
vice of earth and all the venom of per-
ditlon , and at this particular time even
preachers of the Gospel fall into line of
criticism of the word of God. Why , it
makes me think of a ship
In a September equinox , the waves
dashing to the top of the smoke-stack ,
and the hatches fastened down , and
many prophesying the foundering of the
steamer , and at that time some of the
crew with axes and saws go down into
the hold of the ship , and they try to
raw off some of theplanks and pry out
tome of the timbers because the timber
did not come from the right forest !
It does not seem to me a commendable
business for the crew to be helping the
winds and storms outside with their
axes and saws inside. Now , this old
Gospel ship , what with the roaring of
earth and hell around the stem and
stern , and mutiny on deck , is having
a very rough voyage , but I have noticed
that not one of the timbers has started -
ed , and the captain says he will see
It through. And I have noticed that
keelson and counter-timber-knee are
built of Lebanon cedar , and she is going -
ing to weather the gale , but no credit
to those who make mutiny' on deck.
When I see professed Christians in
this particular day finding fault with
the Scriptures it makes me think of a
fortress terrifically bombarded , and the
men on the ramparts , instead of swabbing -
bing out and loading the guns , and
helping fetch up the ammunition from
the magazine , are trying with crowbars
to pry out from the wall certain blocks
of stone , because they did not come
from the right quarry. Oh , men on the
ramparts , better fight back , and fight
down the common enemy , instead of
trying to make breaches in the wall.
While I oppose this expurgation of
the Scriptures , I shall give you my rea-
Ions for such opposition. "What ! " say
some of the theological evolutionists ,
whose brains have been addled by too
long brooding over them by Darwin and
Spencer , "you don't now really believe
all the story of the Garden of Eden , do
you ? " Yes , as much as I believe there
were roses In my garden last summer.
"But , " say they , "you don't really believe -
lieve that the sun and moon stood
still ? Yes , and if I had strength
enough to create a sun and moon I
could make them stand still , or cause
the refraction of the sun's so it
would appear to stand still. " , "
they say , "you don't believe that the
whale swallowed Jonah ? " Yes , and if
I were strong enough to make a whale
t could have made very easy ingress for
the refractory prophetleavfag to Evolution -
tion to eject him , if he were an unworthy -
worthy tenant ! "But , " say they , "you
don't really believe that the water was
turned into wine ? " Yes , just as easily
as water now is often turned Into wine
with an admixture of atrychnne ! and
logwood ! "But , they say , "you don't
really believe that Samson slew a thousand -
sand with the jaw-bone of an ass ? "
Yes , and I think that the man who In
this day assaults the Bible is wielding
the same weapon !
I am opposed to the expurgation of
the Scriptures in the first place , because -
cause the Bible in its present shape has
been so miraculously preserved. Fifteen -
teen hundred years after Herodotus
wrote his history , there was only one
manuscript copy of It. Twelve
hundred years after Plato wrote
his book , there was only
one manuscript copy of it. Gad was
so careful to have us hare the Bible In
just the right shape that we have fifty
manuscript copies of the New Testament -
ment a thousand years old , and some
of them fifteen hundred years old. This
book handed down from the time of
Christ , or just after the time of Christ , I
by the hand of such men as Origen in
the second century and Tertullian in I
the third , century , and by men of differ-
put ages who died for their principles.
'he three best copies of the New Testa-
ent in manuscript in the possession of i
e three great churches-the Protestant - i
ant church of England , the Greek t
church of St. Petersburg , and the Rom-
Ish church of Italy.
It is a plain matter of history that a
Tischendorf went to a convent in the 1
peninsula of Sinai and was by ropes liftt
ed over the wall Into the convent , that
being the only mode of admission , and
that he saw there in the waste basket f
for kindling for the fires , a manuscript tC
of the Holy Scriptures. That night he C
copied many of the passages of that
$ ible , but It was not until fifteen years I st
had passed of earnest entreaty and t '
brayer and coaxin- and purehaso on his ,
part that that copy of the Holy Scriptures -
tures was put into the hand of the emperor - a
peror of Russia-that one copy so marea
elously protected.
Do you not know that the catalogue l
of the books of the Old and ref Testaments -
ments as we have it , is t same cat- j e
alogue that has been coming on down ' i
through the ages ? Thirty-nine books i t
thousands of } t
of the Old Testament
. Twenty0
rears ago. Thirty-nine now.
seven books of the New Testament sixteen - t
teen hundred years ago. Twenty-Seven
books of the New Testament now. h
IMarcion , . toy wickedness , was turned
out of the church in the second cen- t
Wry , and In his assault on the Bible
tad Christlanity , be Incidentally dives I a
l
a catalogue pf the books of the Bible-
that catalogue corresponding exactly
with ours-testimony given by the
enemy of the Bible ad the enemy of
Christianity. The catalogue now just
like the catalogue then. Assaulted and
spit on and torn to pieces and burned ,
yet adhering. The book today. in three
hundred languages , confronting four-
fifths of the human race in their own
tongue. Four hundred million copies
of it ! n , existence. Does not that look
as If this book had been divinely protected -
tected , ai If God had guarded it all
through the centuries ?
Nearly all the other old
books are mumified apd are
lying in the tombs of old
libraries , and , perhaps once in twenty
years some man comes along and picks
up one of them and blows the dust off ,
and opens It and finds it the book he
does not want. But this old book , much
of it forty centuries old , stands today
more discussed than any other book ,
and It challenges the admiration of all
the good and the , spite and the venom
and the animosity and the hypercriticism -
cism of earth and hell. I appeal to
your common sense , if a book so divinely -
ly guarded and protected in its present -
ent shape , must not be in just the way
that God wants it to come to us , and
if it pleases God , ought it not to please
us ?
Not only have all the attempts to
detract from the book tailed , but all the
attempts to add to It. Many attempts
were made to add the apochryphal
books to the Old Testament. . The Coun-
ci1 of Trent , the Synod of Jerusalem ,
the Bishops of Hippo , all decided that
the apochryphal books must be added
to the Old Testament. "They must stay
in , " said those learned men ; but they
stayed out. There is not an intelligent
Christian man that today will put the
Book of Maccabees or the Book 4f
Judith beside the Book of Isaiah or
Romans. Then a great many said : "We
must have books addwed to the New
'Testament , and there were epistles and
gospels and apocalypses written and
added to the New Testament , but they
have all fallen out. You cannot add
anything. You cannot subtract anything -
thing to the divinely protected book
in the present shape. Let no mans dare
to lay his hands on it with the intention -
tion of detracting from the book , or
casting out any of thdse holy pages.
I am also opposed to this proposed
expurgation of the Scriptures for the
fact that in proportion as people' become -
come self-sacrificing and good and holy
and consecrated , they like the book as
it is. I have yet to find a man or a
woman distinguished for self-sacrifice ,
for consecration to God , for holiness of
life , who wants the Bible changed.
Many of us have inherited family BI-
bles. Those Bibles were in use twenty ,
forty , fifty , perhaps a hundred years in
the generations. To-day take down
these family Bibles , and find out if
there afe any chapters which have been
erased by lead pencil or pen , and If in
any margins you can find the words :
"This chapter not fit to read. " There
has been plenty of opportunity during
the last half century privately to expurgate -
purgate the Bible. Do you know any
case of such expurgation ? Did not your
grandfather give it to your father , and
did not your father give it to you ?
Beside that , I am opposed to the expurgation -
purgation of the Scriptures because the
so-called Indelicacies and cruelties of
the Bible have demonstrated no evil
result. A cruel book will produce
cruelty-an unclean book will produce
uncleanness. Fetch me a victim. Out
of all Christendom and out of all the
ages , fetch me a victim whose heart
has been hardened to cruelty , or whose
life has been made impure by this book.
Show me one. One of the best families
I ever knew , for thirty or forty years ,
morning and evening , had all the members -
bers gathered together , and the servants
of the household , and the strangers that
happened to be within the gates-twice
a day , without leaving out a chapter
or a verse , they read this holy book ,
morning by morning , night by night.
Not only the elder children , but the
little child who could just spell her way
through the verse while her mother
helped her. The father beginning and
reading one verse , then all the members -
bers of the family in turn reading a
verse. The father maintained his in-
tegrlty , the mother maintained her integrity -
tegrity , the sons grew up and entered
professions and commercial life , adorning -
ing every sphere In the life in which
: hey lived , and the daughters went into
families where Christ was honored , and
all that was good and pure and righteous -
eous reigned perpetually. For thirty
rears that family endured the Scrip-
tures. Not one of them ruined by
them.
Now , if you will tell me of a family
where the Bible has been read twice a
day for thirty years , and the children
have been brought up in that habit ,
and the father went to ruin , and the
mot eat to ul i , ant the Sons and
daug to s were destroyed by It-if you
will tell me of one such incident , I will
throw away my Bible , or I will doubt
your veracity. I tell you , if a man is
shocked with what he calls the indelicacies -
cies of the Word of God , he is prurient
n his taste and Imagination. If a man
cannot read Solomon's Song , without
mpure suggestion , he is either in his
heart or in his life , a libertine.
The Old Testament description of
wickedness , uncleanliness of all sorts ,
s purposely and righteously a disgust-
ng account , instead of the Byronic and
he Parisian vernacular which makes
a
sin attractive instead of appalling.
When those old prophets point you to
lazaretto you understand It is a
azaretto. When a man having begun
o do right falls back into wickedness
and gives up his integrity , the Bible
does not say he was overcome by the
ascinations of the festive board , or
hat he surrendered to convivialities ,
that he became a little fast in his
habits. I will tell you what the Bible
ays : "The dog Is turned to his own
'omit again , and the sow that was
washed to her wallowing in the mire. "
No gilding of iniquity. No garlands on
death's-head. No pounding away with
silver mallet at iniquity when It heeds
an iron sledge-hammer.
I can easily understand how people , '
brooding over the description of un-
leanness in the Bible , may get morbid c
n mind until they are as full of it as
he wings and ak and the nostril and y
he claw of a bu zard is full of the odors
f a carcass ; but what is wanted is not
hat the Bible be disinfected , but that
you , the critic , have your mind and
eart washed with carbolic acid !
I tell you at this point in my discourse
hat a man who does not like this book
aad who is critical as to its contents ,
nd who is shocked and outraged with
1
Its descriptions , has never been , sound ,
ly converted , The laying on of the
hands of Presbytery or Episcopacy does
not always change a man's heart , and
men sometimes get Into the pulpit as
well as into the pew , never having been
changed radically by the sovereign
grace of God. Get your heart right and
the Bible will be right. The trouble Is
men's natures are not brought into harmony -
mony with the Word of God. Ah ! my
friends , expurgation of the heart Is
what Is wanted.
You cannot make me believe that the
Scriptures , which this moment lie on
the table of the purest and best men
and women of the age , and which were
the dying solace of your kindred passed
into the skies , have In them a taint
which the strongest microscope of honest -
est criticism could make visible. If men
are uncontrollable in their indignation
when the integrity of wife or child
is assailed , and judges and jurors as
far as possible excuse violence under
such provocation , what ought to be the
overwhelming and long resounding
thunders of condemnation for any man
who will stand in a Christian pulpit and
assail the more than virgin purity of
inspiration , the well beloved daughter
of God ?
Expurgate the Bible ! You might as
well go to the old picture galleries in
Dresden and in Vqnice and in Rome
and expurgate the old paintings. Perhaps -
haps you could find a foot of Michael
Angelo's "Last Judgment" that might
be Improved , Perhaps you could throw
more expression into Raphael's "Ma-
donna. " Perhaps you could put more
pathos into Reubens' "Descent from the
Cross. " Perhaps you could change the
crests of the waves in Turner's "Slave
Ship. " Perhaps you might go into the
old galleries of sculpture and change
the forms and the posture of the statues
of Phidias and Praxiteles. Such an Icon-
clast would very soon find himself in
the penitentiary. But it is worse vandalism -
dalism when a man proposes to re-fash-
ton these masterpieces of inspiration ,
and to remodel the moral giants of this
gallery of God.
Of all the works of Dore , the great
artist , there was nothing so Impressive
as his illustrated Bible. What scene of
Abrahamic faith , er Edenic beauty , of
dominion Davidic , or Solomon'c , of miracle -
acle , or parable , of nativity or of
crucifixion , or of last judgment but the
thought leaped from the great brain to
the skillful pencil , and from the skillful
pencil to immortal canvas. The Louvre ,
the Luxembourg , the National gallery
of London compressed within two volumes -
umes of Dore's Illustrated Bible. But
the Bible will come to better illustration -
tion than that , my friends , when all the
deserts have become gradens ; and all
the armories have become academies ,
and all the lakes have become Genne-
sarets with Christ walking them ,
and all the cities have become Jerusa-
lems with hovering Shekinah ; and the
two hemispheres will be clapping symbols -
bols of divine praise , and the round
earth a footlight to Emanuel's throne-
that , to all lands , and all ages , and all
centuries , and all cycles will be the best
specimen of Bible illustrated.
BIGGEST BRONZE CASTING.
It Is a Memorial to the Fonndor of th
Children's Aid Society.
The largest bronze casting ever made
in the United States has just been successfully -
cessfully completed at the foundry of
A. T. Lorme , in Forsyth street , says
New York World. It was designed by
Architect Leopold Eidltz and was
modeled by Ellin , Kitson S : Co. It is
a memorial to Charles Loring Brace ,
who was the founder of the Children's
Aid society , and is to be erected on the
corner pier of the second story of the
newsboys' lodging house. It is in the
form of a Gothic tablet , with a circular -
lar opening in the center , in which will
be placed a marble bust of the philanthropist -
thropist in whose memory it is erected.
The height of the casting , which was
done in one piece , is 10 feet 6 inches.
It is 5 feet 6 inches wide , and the relief
is a full 12 inches , Three thousand
pounds of standard bronze metal were
used in making this handsome memor-
ial. The casting was begun at 6 a. m.
day before yesterday and was not completed -
pleted until the middle of the after-
noon. An heroic sitting statue of Peter
Cooper , by St. Gaudens , is also finished
in bronze In this foundry , but is kept
carefully concealed behind a draping
of whin cloth , the sculptor having given -
en positive orders that "not a soul shall
see it" until it is unveiled in public ,
Mr. Lorme resisted the touching appeal -
peal of a World reporter to lift up a
corner of the cloth , saying : "Mr. St.
Gaudens would throw me in my own
furnace if I did so. "
This Sounds Good.
An excellent relish for the Sunday -
day night tea table is made with sardines -

ounce of butter , a teaspoonful of Worcestershire -
cestershire sauce , and a dust of cay-
nne peper ; heat the mixture in a chafing -
ing dish and spread on hot buttered i
toast. A little grated cheese may be
sprinkled over the top before serving. '

LIVING TRUTHS ABOUT PROTECTIVE -
TECTIVE SYSTEM.
The Prosperlty Not Duo to Silver AgI-
tatlon , but to the Advent of tim
New Republican Congress and a High
Tarlf [ . r
According to the report of the senate
committee appointed to inquire into the
low prices of cotton , there appears to
be such difference of opinion on the
part of cotton raisers as to what the
cost of producing the = ap1e really is
that the committee refrancd from making -
ing a report upon that part of the subject -
ject matter. Some of the experts who
were examined placed the rest as low as
3'cents per pound , others declared thtt :
cotton could not be produced at less
than 8 cents at a safe profit. These opinions -
ions cannot affect the conditions surrounding -
rounding the price of the staple in his
country , but there is a factor now operating -
ating which is depressing to the prices
of cotton in the American market , and
that is the free entry of. Indian and
Egyptian cottons.
The introduction here of Egyptian
cotton has well nigh destroyed the Sea
Island cotton Industry on the coast of
the South Atlantic stat2s , and now the
short staple , or upland , cottons of the
United States will have to meet the
low-priced short staples of India , not
only on the Liverpool markets , but also
in our own markets. The importations
of these cottons have steadily increased
and we have now the report of the tie-
partment at Washington showing the
receipt of 14,882,562 pounds for January
and February , against 4,807SSS pounds
for the corresponding months in 194.
IThe attention of the South has been directed -
rected to this menace time and again ,
not only by the protective press but
also by certain southern papers , among
them the Charleston News and Courier -
rier of South Carolina. The evils of the
situation cannot now be neutralhed : in
any way that we can see , but the next
congress could levy a sufficient duty on
raw cottons to give some theasure of
protection to this depressed and unprofitable -
profitable industry. There arc over
ten million of oup' people directly and
indirectly interested in the cultivation
of cotton. They must have protection
if they need it.-American Economist.
Beef and Reciprocity.
The recent worry and fret over the
beef situation could have been settled
in the twinkling of an eye if the reciprocity -
iprocity of the McKinley law had been
incorporated in our present nondescript
tariff act. It was the design of the
friends of reciprocity to apply this
principle so as to admit free , with
compensating benefits from other countries -
tries , such articles or things as were
not produced by ourselves in sufficient
quantities for the domestic consump-
tion. Under the McKinley reciprocity
clause in the act of 1890 the president
could at any time remove the duty upon -
on any article , and at the same time ,
by treaty , enlarge our exportation of
such commodity as the country with
whom the reciprocal relation was established -
tablished should want. In case of the
possible inability of our own cattle
raisers to supply the domestic demand
the exercise of such powers by the executive -
ecutive , did they exist , would be most
effective. Supplies could be drawn
from Argentina , Mexico , and Canada ,
and for the privilege extended to these
countries privileges would have been
obtained in return.
Spread the Light.
Manufacturers and other people engaged -
gaged in industrial pursuits , either as
wage earners of employes , possess
much valuable information concerning
Protection , which should not be lost.
They know the difficulties which beset
home manufacturers until , under the
tariff of 1891 they became firmly estab-
lished. They can recall how greatly
he country depended on foreign goods ,
In their respective lines , until the
manufacture at home of like products
trove the imported articles out of the
market and gave free scope to American -
can skill and enterprise.
They can tell from actual experience
how even the money price of home
made wares and fabrics has been reduced -
duced under Protection , so that many
commodities of large consumption have
been sold at less than foreign goods of
ike quality , because the commodities
n question were protected by a proper'
tariff and were made by well-paid
vorkmen. Our manufacturers can also
1
give interesting information concern-
ng their export trade , showing how
I
American goods can find their way into 1
oreign markets , or whatever obstacles
here may be to prevent them. De-
ails such as these should be recorded
diligently and sent to the newspapers
or publication. They will serve as
ogent arguments for Protection , will
prove that it has fulfilled the promises
hat were made in its behalf , or will
how what is needed to enable this.-

Cockerill and the Japs. t
In a recent interview in Japan bef
ween Colonel Cockerill of the Herald
and Count S. Okuma , ex-minister s
f finance , the statesman said : "For a s

ion toward the Manchester schoolt
hat is to say , those who gave politis

Count Okuma , who is a Free-Trader , s
lso said : "Our cotton mills and silk

rith our cheap and skillfullabor will 1
nable us to enter any market in the 1
world. " The candor of the Japanese
x-minister is refreshing. The corns
lacency with which he speaks of t
cheap labor" stamps him as a con-
. - -c - - -

extent cf the competition that American -
can labor must be called upon to meet
under a Free-Trade policy in the United -
ed States.
e
More Gold Going.
The New York papers have been filled
with long lists of passengers who are
leaving our shores to travel In Europe
during the summer months. It is also
said that a very large number of recently -
cently arrived immigrants are hurrying
back home again , to such an extent
that the steamship companies have advanced -
vanced their passenger rates. Each
fare paid by these returning immigrants -
grants Is so much money for a foreign
steamship company and taken out of
the country4 Every American visiting
Europe for pleasure takes hundreds of
dollars out of the country. This , of
course , they have the right to do. The
money is their own to spend where
they please. But we respectfully submit -
mit to those who contemplate passing
the present summeraseason in Europe
that they should pause and consider
how much or how little they know ,
and have seen of this country , and li
there are not some points of interest
in the United States which they might
visit with considerable advantage to
themselves , seeing sights and scenes
that exist nowhere else in the world.
By doing this they would lose nothing ,
they would have a good outing , they
would be able to talk more intelligently -
gently about their own country and
they would have the further satisfaction -
tion of knowing they had materially assisted -
sisted in circulating their money
among their fellow-citizens at a time
when it was needed. Patriotic Americans -
cans should travel through the United
States.-Ex.
A Few Things.
Sheep slaughtered by millions , because -
cause wool has been made free ; the
price of beef advancing ; a Portland
( Oregon ) syndicate buying three thousand -
sand horses with an intention to introduce -
duce horse meat to American consumers -
sumers ; Edward Atkinson running
about the country giving demonstrations -
tions of methods of preparing 15-cent
dinners and recommending to
poor people the use of shin beef and
oleomargarine ; women doing men's
work in the tin plate mills in western
Pennsylvania ; foreigners leaving the
country as fast as others come in , and
the treasury of the United States unable -
able to stand by itself , but propped
up by British bankers-these things indicate -
dicate what we have come to and foreshadow -
shadow what we are coming to under
the domination of American affairs by
British ideas-The Manufacturer ,
April 27 , 1895.
Protection for Sugar.
Thank God , men of greater caliber
will henceforth shape the destinies of
the Republic-men who believe in Protection -
tection as a principle , and who will
take care of all our great interests ,
sugar included ! They know how the
foreign industry has been built up ;
they also know that to make this country -
try prosper they must do as our cousins
across the sea have done-stimulate
home industries. That can and will be
done , either by a bounty or an increased -
creased duty on sugar ( the latter being
now rendered most probable by the defeat -
feat of the income tax ) , and when such
wise legislation is determined upon we
do not believe that even the veto of
a Democratic president-the last of his
line-can stay the popular demand for
home protection against bounty fed ,
artificially stimulated industries.-The
Sugar Planters Journal , New Orleans ,
La. , April 13 , 1395.
t
The Tallow Trade.
The tallow market of the world appears -
pears to be closed , our exports of
American tallow in March being 1,300 ;
000 pounds less than in March , 1S94.
How is this ? The same is the case
with oleomargarine , the foreigners
buying nearly 6,000,000 pounds less
from us last March. This , however ,
has not improved the demand for
American butter , our exports of butter -
ter having fallen off by 1,300,000 in the
uonth ; so the question arises : What
are the foreigners eating ? No oleomargarine -
margarine , no tallow , no butter. There
tivas no contract that the markets of the
world should be closed against our
products.
110w Lovers Behave in Fiction.
Some one with nothing else to do
ias investigated the way in which 100
men in fiction are represented as pro-
, osing. Seventy-two hold the lady's
sand , seventeen hold it very tightly ,
fourteen have lumps in their throat.
rnd nine exclaimed aloud : "Thank
leaven ! " Only seven out of the 100
declare themselves to be deliriously
happy , and five are too full for utter-
ance. Three out of 100 stand on their
feet when they make a proposal , and
two go down on one knee , while nine
make a formal prelude-something like
he slow music in the play , when the
illain appeals to heaven to witness
he consuming flame of his affections
or the heart he plots to ruin. The
behavior of the lady tinder the circum-
tances is equally entertaining and in-
tructive. Out of 100 cases Si sink into
he arms of the gentleman , sixty-eight
est their heads on the genE
lemah's breast , and only one s
inks into the arms of a
S
hair ; eleven clasp their arms around
he gentleman's neck , six weep tears T
f joy silently , and forty-four weep
ears aloud-whatever that means ;
eventy-two have eyes full of love , and
nine out of 100 rush from the room
nd tell everybody. Only four are great-
y surprised and eighty-seven out of
00 knew that something was coming.
'lye giggle hysterically , and one even
neezes. Only one of 100 struggles note
o be kissed , while six kiss gentlemen
first.
