As a result of the persecutions, he says, "the temples, at least, which were almost deserted, began now to be frequented, and the i sacred solemnities, after a long inter mission, are again revived while there is a general demand for the victims, which for some time past have met with but few purchasers." To him who reads between the lines the last sentence clearly reveals the animus of this and every persecution. It is the same old story of greed and superstition. But observe, so numerous and influential had the Christians become in the seventy years since the crucifixion of Christ that the heathen religion had well nigh gone out of business In this remote part of Asia Minor.

The report reveals many interesting points in connection with the management of fairs in this state, and also contains what is supposed to be a Miscellaneous expense clue to the reason the Grand Forks people are not satisfied with the date of the holding of their last state fair. But insist on appropriating the date on which the state fair was held here when such a great success was scored. At the time the Grand Forks state fair association was organized in the spring of 1905, there was turned over to the association by the Grand Forks County Agricultural society property of the value of $30,015.34. Since that time the state association has completed buildings making the total value of property owned by the society and afterward turned over to the state $37,567.57. Against this the society has issued stock to the holders of stock of the Grand Forks County Agricultural society to the amount of $20,000. With bills payable to the amount of $5,000 and two appropriations to the amount of $10,000 in the aggregate, there is shown a deficit of $2,567.57, which is in addition to the deficit shown from the holding of the single fair. Is Bible of Mistakes that the Bible is full of inaccuracies, "scientifically and historically." Let us examine historically the accuracy of the section of land formerly owned by a single statement that he makes, Dr. Selleck makes upon our credulity, the society has been paid for in full. Which is that Christ was not quoted. After excluding from the witness at $10 per acre, the proceeds of which until a generation after his death, "stand all the early Christians who are to be invested in real estate loans." This assertion, of course, sweeps Paul at Athens, were always true to his own, and all the writers of the New Testament, referring to Christ and quoting him, "There are also good accounts due to the society amounting to $283.90." For the argument's sake, let he says that Christ was not quoted. If even so, we find the time when a generation after his death, "the writer entirely unreliable, we need pay when within that time occurred the punishment." To The Forum: Dr. Selleck, it seems by a recent issue of yours, has been against false accusers. Where printed a book in which he asserts complaints were proved, and there was no repentance, punishment must be inflicted. For Rheumatic Sufferers, a little regard to whatever else he says, worst, most cruel persecution in which the quick relief from pain afforded by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm taking such a statement, but it seems whom Christ must have been mistaken.

Emperor Trajan, in A.D. 103 or 104, the younger Pliny was governor of the provinces of Pythia and Pontus in. A remote part of Asia Minor. There was persecution of the Christians and Pliny was in doubt what to do in some cases, and so wrote a letter to the emperor for instructions. Both the letter and Trajan's reply are extant. In a case where several persons had been arraigned under complaint of an anonymous informant, he says: "They repeated after me an invocation to the gods, and offered religious rites with wine and frankincense before your statue, and even reviled the name of Christ whereas there is no way to be able to explain what is said, it is said, those who are really acquainted with such an astonishing fact. It is said that even though he subjected two female slaves to torture, he could find nothing which they ceased after his proclamation." se'ves by a Amazed at the way we skimmed of any wicked design, but through creeks but an.

Let us now see the demand that Jesus at his motive in great multitudes were martyred, to some Jews. Was it wonderful, if it was true, that literary Romans did not refer to and quote him whom they regarded as an executed criminal? The statement true, but to read the history of the reign of Nero. But this writer brings other grave charges against the Christians and the Bible. He cannot produce a word of vengeance that justifies the crimes with which he charges Christianity, but all his teachings emphatically condemn them. Did not Jesus say: "I came not to send peace on earth, but a sword," and does not the Bible make God to say: make peace and create evil." Certainly, and a theologian who was the product of primitive Christianity and not of the apostasy which Jesus said in reproof of His disciples: "For the Son of Man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." Jesus brought the truth to the world, was the truth, but wicked men would not have it and murdered Him. He could not, God could not, bring peace and the truth without bringing war and evil. The perfect man is created in the image and likeness of God. Man does some things by his voluntary power, and makes some things which he wants, and in doing so he makes other things by his involuntary power which he does not want. Cutions—for Pliny and Trajan were scientific book that is now known to not naturally persecutors—under those, masses of men. The Bible, as an despicable tyrants, Domitian and Nero, honest book, simile states facts, literal he latter. Not a score of years after an symbolic, amy. The crucifixion? The record is that, upon the persecutions, the Christians, men and women, "went everywhere preaching the Word," the Logos, "the heaped up in Solomon. He was the Word that was made flesh and dwelt law, hence violated no law in taking among us." Of which facts, although to wiff the daughters of the kings they accord with the words of Pliny, around him, who were little more than the sons of the kings, and the circumstances, such writers as robber chieftains, almost constantly. The Higher Criticism. Consistently enough, this writer glories in the higher criticism. But what is this so-called higher criticism? Contrary to facts of history and observation, our self-styled higher critics determine that we live in the most enlightened period of the world's history, whereas we live in the iron age, and are again approaching the golden age, and although we have to go back several thousand years for our models in almost everything in literature and art, they are, somehow, better able to judge of what took place several thousand years ago than those who wrote of them at the time of their occurrence, and being so much more intelligent, are competent to say what of them are genuine and what fictitious or mere interpretations. Often, in their view, what are facts, but are beyond the knowledge or ability of the degenerated of this time, whether men or things, are mere myths. The Bible, as a book of the ages, had to. be written# in part, in the lan guage of symbolism, and often its literal facts afV symbolic of future events. The man who understands its symbolism-^-but that does not in clude the theologian of the present— knows what it leabhes.

HBWSkwS "How's It All The ripened fruit of the Jewish tree of lives being the perfect man, to per petuate his life on the human plane it was necessary that sinful, seedling men be inoculated with his life, and that was precisely what occurred In the end—the harvest of the Jewish age when the ripened fruit was changed to Holy Ghost, God's seed, and was received by those who desired it, and, as Peter said, was in them a begetting again by-the spirit of which the birth would be, as in the case of the budded apple tree, a birth of the body which would come in the end—the harvest of the Christian age now close at hand. When the Bible Instructs men how to live it commands the man who marries to be the husband of one wife and be true to her. But for Solomon and his polygamy, the God life could not be perpetuated on the earth, nor human life for long. The account of the creation in the Bible contains no mistake, but Dr. Selleck entirely misapprehended what the creation was. Finish? Dixon? Comes Cut Our Wash! Manager Leach Talks?

By establishing his children as kings of the surrounding nations, those rude people got the benefit of un uplift from their degradation and ignorance and a chance to share the benefits of his great commercial ventures. Hav ing quaffed the cup of all pleasures to the full, his judgment of it all was: "Vanity and vexation of spirit." Every thing or being has Its oppo site. Jesus came as the opposite pole of this sex energy, and but for Solo mon He could not have made His ap pearance on earth. He possessed ail the wisdom of Solomon and more, but entirely lacked his sensualism. Being the perfect man. as Solomon was not. He is also the perfect God, the Son of Man, but not in the ordinary sensual way.

So it would be easy to show in the case of the other great crimes with which this class of writers accuse the Bible that at the time of their alleged commission they were absolutely necessary, where they were not simply misapprehensions, to the well-being, of men, even those who suffered by them; but the subject is too long for this article. God says: "My people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge." But there will soon appear a remedy for present fell conditions which every newspaper reveals for "there is a balm in Gilead, and a physician there." But it is not Dr. Selleck and his medicine. O. F.
