BEE
Fundamentalism Is
Upheld by Sprague
‘THE BTBLE VERSUS THE SECRE
TARY," by Rev. Franklin M. Sprague,
A. M.; The Aplin© Press. Boston.
On© of the many champions of
fundamentalism takes up the cudgel
In defense of the beliefs of his group.
Rev. Mr. Sprague uses as his target,
the writings of the secretary of the
educational society of a certain
denomination and proceeds to dissect
them under a question and answer
operation.
It appears that the secretary, at
least from the excerpts printed in the
book of refutation, lias attempted to
prove that the Bible Is neither in
spired nor authentic. He questions
l-ortions of Genesis, the Bible story
of the flood, and places an interpreta
tion on the words of Christ, as writ
ten in the New Testament, which is
not in accord with those of the au
thor of the book.
The reverend defender of funda
mentalism, however, makes certain
statements in his own work which
are somewhat erroneous, hut these
do not materially prohibit the little
book from being a constructive de
fense of the beliefs held by the funda
Tncn tallsts.
Rev, Mr. Sprague insists that If
any portion of the Scriptures are
taken as true, all must be admitted
true. The self-sufficiency of faith is
ihe doctrine preached by the author.
Title# of'the IS papers are those em
ployed by the secretary.
When each one of'them has been
picked apart and rebuilt according to
the ideals of the author of this book,
the physician of morals declares that
if the Bible is taken simply as a
record of thought in past ages, it has
no religious value nor moral author
ity and will not aid the world in find
ing peace with God.
Occurrences in Bible
Explained in Tishbite
«*THH TISHBITE." by Ephrnlm Nob1»
j»v*; Stratford company. Publishers.
Boston. _ . .
Elijah or Elias, the fearless prophet
of the books of Kings in the Old Tes
tament, is made the central figure of
a historical sketch.
The simple statements of the Bible
are elaborated somewhat by bringing
in other characters and touching up
the scenes with local color.
Although but 61 pages are neces
sary to contain the story, there is a
reality felt in the handling. The un
explained occurrences mentioned in
the Scriptures, at least some of them
in regard to the Tishbite, are ex
plained by very ordinary means.
For instance, it Is told that Elijah
was fed by ravens. The author, in
stead of making a wonder of this,
points out that there was famine in
the land and the birds came from
their mountain homes into ths city
for bread. A friend of Elijah, know
ing the prophet, has sought refuge
in the hills, ties tiny bags of food
around the necks of the feathered
messengers.
The recounting of the scene on
Mount Carmel between Elijah and the
priests of Baal is especially Interest
ing and well worked out.
“Ranch of the Thom”
Story on Revolution
"RANCH Of TUB THORN.” by Wil
liam ir. Hamby. Chelsea Houae, New
Stirring times rontingent with the
overthrow of the Carranza govern
ment in Mexico are told in tills
story of adventure and romance.
Of course there Is an American
easy to look upon, and a Mexican
' senorita and the senorita’s papa.
There is also another American who
is a very bad hombre.
There is plenty of humor inter
mingled in the scenes of bloodshed
and plotting, whicli served to make
the more serious phases of the ac
tion less depressing.
The weather-cock temperament of
the Latin race is shown in Senorita
Maria. She can love with her whole
being and hate in the same propor
tion. In fact, the rapid succession
of these contradictory emotions keeps
the young American hero in figura
tive hot water most of the time.
Clean, all the way through, is the
"Ranch of the Thorn,” and a story
which may be enjoyed by young and
old alike.

I
Smallest Omaha Engine Needs
to Hustle to Keep Ahead of Flyer
By L. C. GRAHAM.
For 38 years W. T. Murphy has
piloted one engine for the Milwaukee
railroad. Once that engine was the
last word in steam locomotives, now
it Is the smallest engine running into
Union Station.
In 1882 the Milwaukee railroad pur
chased a new type passenger engine
from the Baldwin Locomotive works.
It was the finest thing yet seen in the
west with Its smoke Black shaped like
an ice cream cone, its back swayed
from the Irregularities of its boiler
and its small drive wheels.
If that same locomotive were to be
parked beside a new 7,000 type hill
climbing engine today it would look
like a watch charm for an ambitious
engineer. But that is now. When It
was new it was a wonderful thing
and something to fill the heart of any
steam engineer with joy.
Murphy started railroading 42 years
ago. His first job was with the Penn
sylvania system. He came to the Mil
waukee in 188., received "No. 713" as
his first charge and went to work.
The smallest engine still does duty
in the passenger service. Every day
it hauls two passenger coaches, a
train, from Omaha to Manilla, la., and
back. The train leaves at 8:30 In
the morning and returns- at 4:30 that
afternoon.
Even the biggest and fastest of the
trains must have their troubles. ThJ
‘ smnllest train" makes its trouble
for the crack train to Chicago. The
"smallest train” leaves 47 minutes
before the flyer and arrives In Manil
la 23 minutes ahead of it. It makes 13
stops cn route and the flyer makes
none. " ■ '
The engine weighs 40 tons and Is
capable of making an average speed
of 42 miles an hour. Murphy says.
In the picture Murphy is shown at
the window of the engine cab and
his fireman, Owen Fox, is at the door.
