THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1901. ton tnd work of Christ It has Introduced a, new epoch In biblical criticism, which compels n reconsideration of the crucial question of the scat of authority with par ticular reference to the Inspiration ami authority of the bible. Moreover, the stnto of philosophy and new teachings and theories of natural science bne called for a. reconstruction of the foundations of theism, they have necessitated a new forti fying of tee citadel of all religious faith. Vale Interraled In New Tenehlnn. "It may he said with proprloty that Yale has been neither Indifferent nor silent on these cardinal nutations of world-wide In terest. It lt propcf to mention that In the field of apologetics tho effort here has been to deal with the new problems In n spirit of candor, with mingled fearlessness and discretion. Few writers In recent days have made more timely, fresh and effective contributions pertaining to the grounds of theism than our honored and lamented theologian, Dr. Samuel Harris. As to the questions grouped under tho head of the higher criticism, whatever may be Judged of tho wisdom or want of wledom In tho Yalo teaching, this at least can be af firmed, that there has been no evasion of them and little Inclination on tho part of Yale Instructor ostrlcli-llkc to hide their heads In the sand; and on tho whole I venture to fay the unual endeavor has been, as In all previous periods of our academic history, to unite a genuine liber ality with a wise and tcnablo conserva tism."

The second of tho "popular services" t tho First Congregational church was held Sunday evening, the program Includ ing cornet solos by A. A. Covalt, n vocal solo by Mrs. A. O. Edwards and a duet by W. H. Wilbur and C. 11. Altchlson. The theme of tho address by Rev. H. C. Herring was "Omaha's Need of Public Spirited Men." He sold In part: There are five departments of city lite which challenge our attention as the field for tho operation of public spirits. The first that will ccmc Into our mind Is the ouestlon of commercial prosperity. This Is the lowest field In my opinion, for here, tho selfish man, struggling successfully to nd- vanco his own Interest, advances that of tho town. In this field there Is a happy revival In Omaha, as evidenced by the Transmlwlssippl exposition and the audi- torlum scheme, but In this field comes In the question of capital and labor: as this question Is correctly solved so will the city nrosocr. Taxation Interests me more than this, After the courts and legislatures have acted ever since Nebraska became n state, It Is a matter of public notoriety that the pay- nii.ni nf invo m Omnhn In n matter of choice rather than a necessity.

Our public utilities are In the hands of I . . I T 1 . . 1. 1 1 . n . V. I .. . a debatable remedy, but no one will denv that nubile control should be exercised. It is axiomatic that unless tho city govern mcnt controls tho corporations, the cor porations' will control tho government and the latter I fear Is too truo In Omaha This question cannot bo nettled by doc- trlnnlro theories. "Then comes the question of good and efficient government. Government connot creato prosperity and morality, but It should make the conditions easy for tho neonle to acquire both. Some pcoplo at- trlbuto the present condition of our city to oartlaaiiHhln. I do not believe this la true. It Is rather due to that homiu cowardice which causes men to cringe to the party losh because they fear to lose business or hope for something from the party. It In alleged that 'the machine' stands In the was'. Wo enn observe the operation of the machine It Is never far from us. Tho machine exists in any party only by suffrance of the people. If they desired they could break all kinds of machines every morning before break fast. The machine thrives only ns public fcplrlt 18 lacking. "There Is' another department of our city which is still Closer io us an i mm i schools, wmrn nave tne cxpemiuuio u. sums ui money mm . " of children. Tho men who control the schools should bo of the highest and best, yet strange 'thing- hnv'o happened In tho past. Througn tno enons oi " ninnH nin Inrpnlv nt one man the schools havo been placed In charge ot men taken from the sloughs. Thc trouble has been tho apathy of the people. Tbcy must show puhlid spirit, or i he management of tho' schrtftls wll be harried back to the slough from which It has been lifted. ""The public spirited man la the man who cares for tho spiritual Interests of tho community: self-interest, local pride will not sustain public spirit. Nothing will do It but faith In God and fidelity to tho principles of the bible. We havo some public spirited men In offtco In Omaha and let us thank God for that.'
