southern Washington, at an altitude of
$500 feet above the level of the Pacific,

a mile long and from half to three
fourths of a mile in width, and with a
maximum depth of sixty feet. The com

Ministers Organized Into a Moral
Reform League.

The Reform League, composed OF some
Of the ministers of Jersey City was very
quietly organized last Monday night at
the Summit Avenue Baptist Church.
The officers elected were:-President,
Rev. James Parker, Phi. D., pastor Of the
Second United Presbyterian Church;
Vice Presidents, Revs. Mac Mimi Scud-
der. and Wick; Secretary. Rev. A. &.
Richardson. An Executive Committee OF
twenty-five is to be appointed. Five
member were appointed last week, the
rest will be appointed at the next meet"
ing.
The object of the League is TO see
that he laws, and particularly the sun
day laws are enforced. Rev. Arney D
Biddle suggested hat in the event Oh
their enforcing the laws the ministers
had better see to 1t that they file their
marriage certificates within the time
specified by law, as by not doing so
they are liable to be fined and as re-
formers it would be their duty to COM
pei the proper authorities to collect the
fines.
The next meeting will be held tomor-
row night at the Summit Avenue unlted

millions Of dollars to spread 1t abroad,
making greater sacrifices for It than
all other books combined. There nave
been more books written for and against
this book, than any other book. What IS
the matter with this book? For 1900
years everything that the malice OF
man and the wisdom of fallen angels
could contrive, has been used to over
throw it, and yet it stands stronger to-
day than ever before.
"Let us see where it is not found and
also where it abides. We go to the isles
of the sea, where man feeds upon the
flesh of his fellow man, but we find no
Bible. We come to these islands after
a lapse of a few years and see peace
and security, Righteousness and happi-
ness, and we find this book in comforta-
BILE homes.
1--WE look upon the drunkard and see
the whiskey flask or the gamblers
cards. That same drunkard has after
wards become a sober, Industrious man
and we behold this book as his COM
panion.

ways take hold on hell, but find no Bible.
We see these Magdalens, hating their
former course and now they to love TINS
nations. What is there in 1t that makes
the ~drunkard, the thief and the BIAS
phemer hate it? Why have not it's enc
mics been able to destroy 1t?
zone reason is that it is the word of
God-its author is divine. The only way
the enemy of the Bible can destroy 1T
is to destroy God. So far as ] know
everything else has been tried, and has
failed. Lift up your puny arm, o BIAS
phemer, and smite the Lord of Hosts,
who stitch on His throne in the heavens
Another reason is that 1t meets the
wants of man as no other book has ever
done. We are born to trouble, as the
sparks fly upward. AS long as there is
a heart that needs comfort, just so long
will there be need of the Bible. When
you can bring a balm to the und
soul better than the Bible. then men
would be justified in casting it away.
But until that time comes we propose to
hold fast to the Bible.
APPEALS TO CONSCIENCE.
sit also appeals to and meets the APP
prevail of our conscience. So long as
man has a conscience. perverted even
though it be, so long will the Bible
stand. When the conscience of man says
it is right to lie and steal, and commit
adultery and bear false witness against
our neighbor, then the Bible may be set
aside for something else.

Mr. VAIL ANSWERED.
WIZ. Riddle Says the Enemies of the
Bible Can Never Destroy 1t.


Rev. Arney S. Biddle of the Summit
Avenue United Presbyterian Church last
night preached on 1.-THE Worth of the
Bible His talk was an answer to the
attacks made upon the Bible by Robert
Ingersoll and the Rev. C. H. Vail of this
city.
Here is a book that is not so large
as many another book he said, ''and is
very innocent looking, a book that has
been printed in so small a compass that
it can be carried about in the pocket,
and yet it has perplexed the devil and
his angels more than all other books
combined.
There are some facts connected with
the construction of this book. 1t differs
from most books in thai it is made up
of a number of little books-sixty-six, in
all. BY historical research we discover
that the first five were written about
1900 years before the Christian era, and
the last one was written nearly one hum
bred years after the Christian era be-
gan, or, in other words, nearly 1000
years INTERVIEWED between the first and
the last. We also find that there were a
number of writers. and these were of all
ranks of -society-kings, fisherman, physi-
clan, SnepieTu. some were wei EuucdtSu
| and others had but little intellectual
training. Some of the books are histori-
| cal, others poetical. Some are full of
| logic, others are replete with vision and
prophecy. We would uppose that such
! a book, made up in such a manner, would
be filled with contradictions, n a super
fetal examination seems to confirm this.
but Upon a more thorough search it is
found that there is a peculiar unity in
the whole book and every part seems to
bear a close relation to all the others.
A BATTLE GROUND.

has not been anything added for 1880
1 years, and that it has been a battle
