THE- ' PITTSBURG' -DISPATCH. SUNDAY, - JANTTART 12, 1890- 11 If HE OLD TESTAMENT. S r St. Paul's Comprehensive Definition of Its Purpose and Lesson. HOT A SCIENTIFIC TEXT BUOX Given as a Teacher of Religious Learning, Kothing More. ITS .DARK PICTURES INSPIRE HOPE IWlUXTJSf FOE TBI DISPATCH. I "Whatsoever things were written afore time were written for oar learning, that we thronch patience and comfort of the Scrip tares might have hope." There are set down in this sentence two facts about the Bible: First, that the Bible was written for onr learning; and, second, that the result of a diligent learning of the Bible will be hope. Here, then, is defined the purpose and the lesson of the "Word of God. The sentence was written only as a paren thesis in an argument. St. Paul had quoted something from the Bible, and in that con nection he stops by the way to give a reason for making such a quotation. But the rea son is this comprehensive definition of the purpose and the lesson of the Bible. I can not think of any phrase which better sets forth the reason why the Bible was written, than that it "was written for our learning;" nor can I bring to mind any single word which more adequately sums up the best of all that thedevoutest students are able to find in the Bible than the word "hope." It is well, in these days, to emphasize the fact which St Panl states here that the Bible was written for oar learning. It is plain that the learning which he means is simply and solely that which is related to religions hope, the Bible was written, St. Paul says, to teach us religion, to instruct us in faith and duty. That proposition would seem evident enough, and would need no emphasis, at all, were it not that same people appear to be of the opinion that the;Bible, in addition to teaching ns re ligion, is intended to teach ns geologv, astronomy and chronology. The people who hold thisview go on to affirm that the Bible teaches a very defective geology, astronomy, and chronology. And the inlerence from that premise is that the Bible is not such a valuable book as most Christians think it n. The schoolmen had a convenient phrase by which to label that sort of reaoning, f alius in uno,f alius in omnibus mistaken in one thing, mistaken in everything. The 'foolishness of such an argument may ap pear more plainly from an illustration. Suppose yon have been reading that singu lar autobiography "The Journal of Marie Bashkirtseflf," and afterward in telling fcomebody about it, you happen to make a mis-statement about the price of the book. In comes this argument, and affirms that your description from beginning to end is equally mistaken. ITon have never lead the book, in the first place, or, granting that yon may have glanced between its covers, the idea which you would give ns of that remarkable record of vanity and intro spection is wholly beside the point AVe will rule your evidence out because you say that a pencil mark in a corner said $1 50 instead ot $2. .ABGTJMEXTS OF A DECLAIMER. I read in the JVbrlft American Review that a well-knowndeclaimer against the Christian religion is "convinced that Humboldt knew mon of geology than the author of Genesis; that Darwin was a greater naturalist than he who told the story of the flood; that Laplace was better acquainted with the hab its of the sun and moon than Joshna could hay been. As a result of this conviction the declaimer has but a small opinion of the Bible. The argument is that the Bible was intended to teach men geology, natural his tory and the habits or the snn and moon; and that, proring to be a good deal behind these scientific times in regard to these mat ters, it is therefore discredited irom Genesis to Revelation. It would, indeed, have been remarkable if a trained scientific specialist like Laplace had not known a tbonsand times more about the habits of the sun and moon than a sturdy soldier like Joshua. It would have been discouraging, indeed, if in the En gland of the nineteenth century after Christ men had known no more about the world we live in than was known in Syria in the fifteenth century belore Christ If there are really any educated Christians to-day who would think ot disputing these asser tions, then there is some reason for making tbem. But they are perfectly self-evident there is no need of gettinc excited about them. This is what we all believe. In deed, I would go farther and affirm that Frederick Bobertson knew more abont religions truth than David or Isaiah. Of course he did, because he lived in these days when we have the word of Christ Himself to teach us about God. Bnt all this has really no more connection with the value or authority of the Hebrew or the Christian scripture's than the fact that Prof. Brashear knows more abont telescopic lenses than Phillips Brooks does, has to do with the congrega tion of Trinity Church, Boston. "WHAT MIGHT HATE BEES'. "Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning lor our learn ing in religions faith and duty. The Bible, as some old divine said, was written to tell ns not how the heavens go, but bow to go to heaven. There is no word anywhere in Holy Scripture where the smallest claim of infallibility is made for its writers in any other matter than their deliverances of the revelation of God and their declarations of His wilL It might have pleased God to have made tbem the messengers of all imaginable truth. The Bible, like the sacred books of .Egypt, might have comprised an inspired arithmetic and an inspired grammar and an inspired geography, and so on through the list of all possible text books. It might have released God so to have instructed the race that all the latest improvements and con venienees should have adorned the life of Adam and Eve in Eden. The scientific revelation might have been giv en them once for all. There might have been a railroad station atTJr of the Chaldees, and conversation by telephone between Dan and Seersheba. That it did not please God so to do is one ot the things we have to be thank ful lor. The word "discovery," the word "investigation." the word "gradual" wonld have no place in our dictionaries. Half ot the pleasure of living would have departed ont of humau lite. There would have been no advance, no growth in the world, nothing to wonder at, to find ont, to work for, to look ahead to. As a matter of fact, God left the messen gers to whom He gave the revelations nr Hi. Ill n Ik tTiA camo m nfm.. ... ?- .Jf niiiJUM . .. nri.ui UlCU, U HkUlta ordinary knowledge was concerned, that they were before- He did not remove one of them out of the surround ings, the limitations, the defective ideas, the .ignorance of his age. He no more taught thenrto think or speak in the lan guage of-exaet science, as we know it to-day. than He taueht them to speak English. They would have been nearlyas unintelligi ble in on case as in theother. There is every reason in the world to expect that as com pared with the kuowledge of this day, the knowledge of Moses will be found deficient Hoses was not a professor in an institute of technology. The truth with which Moses was interested was religious truth. THEY "WEEK LEABKES IN BELIGION. "Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning in religion. It matters not at all to us thouzh mistakes be found to the number of 20,000 in the science, in the geography, in the history of the writers of the Bible. These things are quite beside the point They do not concern ns. They only show what we know already. That God left the men of the Bible with their personality untouched, with the limi tations of their age abont tbem. They only emphasize the marvelous way in which the men of the Bible exceeded all other men resident in their days upon the earth, in the kind of truth -which they set out to teach. It is not Jikely that Sing Josiah knew any more abont geology than Xing Sennacherib, but in the religious learning of the, two what a significant difference! The right use or theBible is to go to it for example, for reproof, lor instruction in right living. I wonld like yon to notice that when St Paul here and in other places speaks of the helpfulness of the Bible, the part of the Bible which he has always in mind is the Old Testament For that ot course, was all the Bible there was in St Paul's day. These books of the Old Testa ment, with their records of religious cruelty, with their chronicles of extirpation, with their polvgamists and slave holders, with their msistance upon ritual St Paul ad vises all Christians to read the Old Testa ment Scriptures, and declares that to all diligent readers they will be "profitable for salvation." Even our Lord Himself had said that the Old Testament Scriptures were as much as men needed. "They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them." It is the fashion among some in these days to deny the Old Testament Sometimesit seems as if there were reason for such dis paragement Evidently the New, in this case, is better than the Old. It is hardly likely, however, that any of us are more enlightened or more loval Christians than St Paul. It isacoodplan inthii matter to take St Paul's advice. The Old Testament was -gritten for our learning. A MIBBOB OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE. There 'was shortcoming then and sin as there is now, and there were-brave and earn est men who denounced iniquity, and there were penalties which followed in the steps of transgression. There were good men who fell. There were instances of those who had all that the earth can furnish, and yet were neither good nor happy. There were persecuted saints who in their poverty were richer than all the JUngs. There were obscure and humble people who were of more account in the sight of God than all the Nlmrods and Pharoahs of their day. There is no phase of human ex perience but has its counterpart somewhere in the Old Testament Nor is there any possible temptation bat we may get arms to fight against it ont of that ancient armory. "All Scripture," even the Old Testament, "given by inspiration of God is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for conviction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished with all good works." "Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning." Indeed, these pages in the Old Testament which are marred by mistakes or stained by crime, and which make us wonder a good deal where we can find any "learning" in them, are the very pages which teach most emphatically that lesson of the Bible which is the second statement of the text Here, above all other places, we learn the lesson of hope. The truth which is written on the blank pages is that God works gradually. That is the most hopeful troth in the world. It means that in the hour when everything seems worst, when the ood are down and the bad sit on all the thrones it means that even then God has by no means lorsaken the race. We look back over these old records covering the space of centcries,and we learn the lesson of hope. Step by step, through more milleninms than we can number, God brought the world toward physical completion. Once there was nothing visible save the darkness which lay upon the "lace of the deep." Bnt there was hope, there was something better ahead; for God was working. By and by there was a world without a man upon it All its beauty, all its wonder was displayed before the nnappreciative eyes of animals. It was a world with a great defect in it. Still, there was hope, for God was still working in the world. Presently came man. GRADUAL APPROACH TO COMPLETENESS. Step by step, throngh more thousands of years than anybody knows, God has been bringing man toward physical, moral, men tal aud spiritual completeness. It has been a gradual process. At every stage of it there have been defects of all sorts. That is what the Old Testament tells us. "We read in the oldest and longest and truest of ail the records of the race how man has crown. Gradually he grows in knowledge of the world about Aim. Gradualivhe grows in knowledge and love ot God above him. There is deteet all along. "We lookback and there is no lack of material for criti cism. There is cruelty, idolatry, sensnality, mistaken ideas of duty between man and man, mistaken beliefs abont God. Bnt all. along there is growth. In the darkest days there is still a bhining of hope in the pages of the story, because God is at work among men. All through the most of it God was still patient still caring, still loving. He was making ready the best way to bring about the triumph ot the right In the days of Noah, in the days of Abraham, in .the days ot Moses, it seemed as if there were were bat one man in the world on God's side. Nevertheless it came true then, and will come true always, that one man with God beside him is a majority. Think how long was the delay before Christ came. Think ot the centuries upon centuries which lay between the entering in of sin into the world and the advent of the Savior. Generation after generation came into being and passed away again, looting for One who, in their day, came nor. But He did come at last HOPE IS THE LESSON. Patience, the Old Testament teaches. Hope is the lesson of these ancient pages. As it was then so it is to-day. Still is de fect about us. Still are we far from any kind of completeness, physical, moral, men tal, spiritual. But behind us lie the ages of erowtb, and before ns lie ages of growth also. "We, too, like the people of the Old Testa ment, look for an advent "We, too, pray for the coming of a kingdom in which Chris't shall be the King, out of which all ignorance, all injustice, all iniquity, all disease and death, all griet and crying shall be done away. Sometime it seems as if the Lord is delaying His coming a long time. Sometimes we look about at the evil of the worlS, and note the small progress of the good, aud wonder if the kingdom of God will ever come at all. It will come. "One day is with the Ebrd as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His prom ise, as some men count slackness, but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." "The day of the Lord will come." That word "come" is the central word of the whole Bible. "He will come" is the promise of the Old Testament "He is come" is the affirmation of the gospels. "He will come agaiu" is the promise which is made to us. That promise will come true, in God's own time, jnst as the first promise did. That is' what the Bible teaches. "Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written lor our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Script ures might have hope." Geobge Hodges. Wilson Resigned. R. D. "Wilson. Esq, yesterday resigned as ad ministrator of the estate of Harriet S. Knox. Mr. Wilson was appointed administrator before the will of Mrs. Knox, which caused such a controversy, and has just been sustained in the Supreme Court, was probated.

Hattle Clark Bent to the Penitentiary for a Bather Long Term. A MARRIED WOMAN'S JUDGMENT IS T0ID B. C. Duncan, Esq., auditor to pass on testimony and report distribution in the matter of the voluntary assignment of M. "W. Dallas & Co., to Bev. Dr. G. H. Nesbit, has prepared his report to Common Pleas No. 1, and it shows, in some respects, a rather remarkable state of affairs surround ing the running of a religious newspaper and the conduct of business. Auditor Duncan says: "It appears that M. "W. Dallas and J. E. Dallas, II. "W. Dallas & Co., made a voluntary assign ment on the 12th of December, 1873, to S. H. Nesbit, in trust, to pay the creditors of said firm. The property assigned was a weekly religious news paper, known as the Pittsburg Advance, and the necessary outfit therewith, also books and book accounts, subscription list, and a note in the hands of Joel H. tfigbam. all appraised at 85,101 67, H.000 of which was the value put on the subscription list of 8,000 names. The assignee took possession February 21, 1871, and sold the assigned estate on July 17, 1875k He charged himself with $5,101 67, and claimed credit for the subscription list, which is billed as a total loss, as also Bigham's note, then de ducting necessary expenses, be showed a bal ance in bis hands of f 161 22. llie amount real ized by the sale was 1763 35, and the snm total realized from an estate appraised at 55,101 57 was $237 21. A QUEER AGREEMENT. A previous auditor .found in favor of the acconnt rendered by the assignee showing a balance of only $161 22 in his hands, and excep tions to his report were sustained by the Court Mr. Duncan, however, finds that the assignee entered into an agreement with Dal las, one of the assignors, whereby they. Nesbit and Dallas, were, in the words of a witness, "to stand together without any charge or com pensation, and to see if the paper could be made to pay Its indebtedness; if it conld do that, it was to belong to.us equally." Under this arrangement the paper was run by the assignee for abont 18 month?, daring which time be sits he lost about 5,500, and its circula tion fell from 8,000 to 2.000 or 2,600 when the property was sold at assignee's sale for $237 22. The auditor says that during this time the as signee acted as absolute owner, though he claims to have paid some creditors of the as sicnors. There is no statement of the business during these 18 months. The auditor finds from the testimony that at the assignee's sale of the property, the assignee throngh other parties became the purchaser of the assigned estate, and continued to conduct the paper himself thereafter. MISMANAGEMENT CHAEGED. He also says that in his opinion the delay of the assignee in having the estate appraisecLand in promptly disposing ot it, and particularly in entering into the above mentioned agreement with II. W. Dallas was a gross mismanagement of his trust, and such a violation of the doc trine which forbids a man who fills a position of a fiduciary character to derive or attempt to derive any personal benefit or advantage from such trnst as shonld render him liable to the tout appraised value of the estate. The auditor, therefore, finds that the credit which should be allowed the assignee in the snm of $73 for nec essary expenses and that he should be charged with the difference between that sum and the appraised value of the estate, and therefore surcharges the assignee in the snm of $5,031 67. MATRIMONIAL TROUBLES. Divorces Granted In Some Case and More Walts Entered. Melvin M. Harvey yesterday entered suit against Mrs. Anna Harvey for a divorce. He alleges that his wife was unfaithful, and fre quented a place known as No. 216 Lacock street, Allegheny, in company with Holmes Harger. A divorce was granted yesterday in the case of Samuel S. Dougherty against Mary Dopgher ty. The parties were residents of Lawrence--vflle. The testimony was to the effect that while Dougherty was away on a trip his wife sold all their household goods, and went to lire in a disorderly place at No. 3950 Penn avenue. A divorce was also 'granted in the case of Sophia Nolden against Peter Nolden. The couple were married In October, 1883, and Nolden deserted his wife a year and seven months later. The testimony in the divorce case of Mrs. Annie V. Holt against John Holt was filed yes terday. It showed that the couple were mar ried in May. 1SS6, in Birmingham. Ala. They lived there a vear, and then removed to Alle gheny. Mrs. Hnlt stated mat they had a quar rel, and he left her the day after there (me to Allegheny. He wanted her to go and live as a servant in the household of his brother at New Brichton. She refused, andhe left her, and has since refused to live with her or support her. W. J. McDonald.

Alston was appointed in the case of Kate A. Herb'ter against William F. Herbster, and J. S. Taggart in the case of Thomas A. R. Carlisle against Anta M. Carlisle.1 BACK TO THE OLD LAW. Judge Swing Decides That a Married Woman's Mote Is Void. Jndge EwiDg yesterday morning handed down an opinion in the case of William A, Mc Donald acainst D. A McDonald and Mary F. W, McDonald, his wife. The suit was a con test on a motion to strike off two judgments on notes for $4S0 each, on the ground that they had been given by a married woman. The act of Jane. 18S7. declares a woman a f emme sole trader, and allows her to Issue securities when acting for her own estate. Similar cases have been contended, and the constitutionality of the act not questioned. Previous to the pass age of the act, the acts of ISIS and 1872 prevent ed a married woman giving just such securities nnless her hnsband joined. Judge Ewlng. in his opinion, holds with the former acts, and that a judgment note given by a married woman is void, and therefore orders it stricken off. SENTENCES PASSED. Hnttle Clark Sent to the Penitentiary for Larceny. In Criminal Court yesterday Mr. Marshall asked for a postponement of the argument for a new trial in the Porter conspiracy case. Next Saturday was fixed for the bearing in the motion, when the arguments will be made.
