tenn and who demand a exact and more scientific
treatment than the one now in use. But we may
say that taking schools as we find them, the world
over the international system Of Bible study is the
best adapted to meet the common want"
The Rev. DR.. A. E. Woods, Of Cleveland, Ohio.
said "Whatever is true has to stay. The
international sunday school system has been in opera
ton long enough to prove It's Our denomina-
tOn has been ably represented In the committee. Its
successes have been so marked that higher and
better method is demanded. Now am not here to
condemn the system, but rather to plead for Its
modification. This modification l would have par
tculary marked in the primary teaching. This would
require q grading Of scholars and the provision Of q
textbook. There is a lack Of UNCONVENTIONAL teach-
Ing To fill this want lesson-b0oks will be required.
Critical and scientific study for the individual scholar
is another want. Each book Of the Bible was written
by certain person. under certain ago. and In
certain environment. Each author had some definite
moaning when he wrote. The true study Of Gods
Word must be characterized by definite plans and under
established methods. There charges made against
the Bible Many Of these charges have been answered
again and again; yet they are paraded as II new.
This knowledge should be in the Christian possession
instruction In our public schools is non-relgious
But the Bible, the best Of books, needs the most
critical study. Our plea is for system Of more
systematic and scientific study Of the Bible We
welcome the teaching Of Professors Harper and Burn
ham and Of others for their system Of nducve Bible
study"
The last writer this topic was Professor Sylvester
Burnham, D. D., Of Hamilton Theological Seminary,
who took occasion to oppose the international lesson
system. "The time has come" said he, to lay aside
the international system and to system more
In harmony with true merit. My objection to the
International system arises, first from what fhld
tha system Is, and secondly, from what 1t Is not The
system proceeds from year to year. without unity Of

The tariff imposes mostly on the poor.
On the cheaper kinds of clothes the taxes
are from 40 to $50 per cent. The finer
kinds pay about 90 per cent. Duty on
a seal-skin sacqle is reduced 335 per cent.
The rich could buy that even without the
duty being decreased. The poor con
slider themselves lucky if they can wear

on the Investor in Acres.
BAyoNNE, n j., Oct This city,
though populated by not more than Is, 900
people. has full complement of million
aires and paupers, professional men and
men with avowei conservative liberal,
and radical views Within the confines
of the village of Bayonne, which is one of
the four settlements that make up this
city on the bays, is a gentleman who is
the exponent of "A strange economic doc
trine of land ownership. He is William
Bradford Dubois, Il man of much learn
ing and wide reading, and talented elo
cutionist. He belongs to the radical class,
and has most pronounced views on all
subjects.
Practices What He breaches.
His creed teaches him that no man has
the right to hold more land than he can
actually use for residence or other legiti-
mate purposes. This idea first dawned
upon him about year and half ago,
and it has grown m0ie pronounced ever
since Nor does he believe in preaching
one thing and practicing another. He
has demonstrated this very recently by
selling at great sacri fee certain land in
New York which he WAS not using. This
was not done because the land was a bur-
den TO him or in fear of a depreciation,
as in less than five years prior TO his ac
curing it, it had increased in value two
and half times.
No Right to Hold Unimproved Land.
Concerning his opinions Mr. Dubois
says: 81 began to think the matter over
some time ago and have never since been
able to persuade myself that was doing
the right thing in holding land that l was

Not Yet Satisfied with Himself

liked to make the land free, but he con-
fes sed that he did not have the moral
courage to put sign upon it Offering it
