Have Been Reading "genesis" Several Sundays, Not As A Christian Reads For "spiritual Consolation," "instruction," Etc., Not As Aninfidel Reads To Carp And Quarrel And Criticize, But As One Who Wishes To Be Informed And Furnished In The Earliest And Most Wonderful Of All Literary Productions. The Literature Of The Bible Should Be Studied As One Studies Shakespeare, For Illustration And Language, For Its True Pictures Of Man And Woman Nature, For Its Early Historical Record.

More Independent Out Than In Place, But Still Something Of The Bondage Of The Place That Was Willingly Left. On The Whole, However, I Find Many Reasons To Be Content.

We All Agree That Neither The Government Nor Political Parties Ought To Interfere With Religious Sects. It Is Equally True That Religious Sects Ought Not To Interfere With The Government Or With Political Parties. We Believe That The Cause Of Good Government And The Cause Of Religion Both Suffer By All Such Interference.

How Strange A Scene Is This In Which We Are Such Shifting Figures, Pictures, Shadows. The Mystery Of Our Existence--i Have No Faith In Any Attempted Explanation Of It. It Is All A Dark, Unfathomed Profound.
