his subject was 1.-The Bible and Recent
Discovery" He congratulated the society
on fixing it's headquarters here. A society
which could not stand the test Of publicity
was not worthy to live, but he felt that
this society could stand the test, and would
live for centuries to come. 1t was based on
the Bible. Suppose said Bishop Hurst,
there were something in the Bible which
could not stand the test of the recent
searching investigations, some fatal error,
some tnsidious disease what would the So
ciety be WORTH" He said that the society
was built on the theory that the Bible was
safe book. The Investigations of biologists
and arcnaeologists were always favorable
to the Bible; the book was never stronger
than 1t is now, and Christians had never
loved 1t so well as they do now. Witnesses
had come out of the sands of Egypt and
the Shiny beds of the Euphrates and Tigris
to corroborate 1t.
He had sense of compassion for those
who were examining the Bible with the be-
lief that it was going to die He referred
TO the work of George Smith, the successor
to Bayard, who had assembled and deciph-
cred certain Assyrian relics for the British
museum. He told of the discoveries con-
tirmatory of the books of Moses, and of the
story Of the flood, and Of Noah, which, he
said, were absolutely Independent Of Bible
history. Recent investigations in Egypt
confirmed the bondage of the Israsites and
their deliverance. In a recent discovery Of
mummies a long line Of Pharaohs was
Iound, among them Eeing Harnesses, the
Pharaoh Of the oppression, but the mummy
of the Pharaoh of the exodus was missing
This was significant. The Bible told what
had become Of him. He alluded to the
distinguished services of Miss Edwards
and other Egyptologists. and cited many
manuscripts corroborative of the Scriptures.
He told the story of the Rosette stone and
the Importance Of the discovery to religion
All gaps were being filled up. The Chris
tan student had nothing to fear. Heaven
and earth might but the word
Of God would stand forever.

INTEREST INCREASES.
This is the Last Week OF the Candy
Exposition.

This is the Last Week OF the Canuy
Exposition.
Instead Of decreasing, as one would natur-
ally infer, the attendance at the candy ex-
position increases steadily as time goes on.
on Saturday afternoon last the largest
crowd since the opening was present, over
1000 school children visiting the show, and
carrying away a ton of candy, the gift Of
the management. 1t is plain, from the in
creased attendance, that the public appre-
ciateS the fact that on Wednesday next at
midnight, the exhibition is to end. As the
management has a large quantity of candy
on hand, it has decided that hereafter every
body, men, women and children, who at
any time purchase tickets of admission, VIII
receive a box of candy. The exhibitors have
also concluded not to carry any of their dis
plays away with them, and, therefore, are
going to distribute samples more freely Than
heretofore. The exhibitors express them
selves being highly pleased with the
treatment they have received from the
Washington public. Their stay here has
seemed more of a pleasure trip than one of
business, and all intend to again come 10
the capital city should another exhibition be
given next year.
1t is interesting to note that one of the
chief attractions of the show, the young
ington girls, and the exhibition will wind Up
with dance for them and their friends.
The last contest is to be candy basket
making match on Tuesday evening. One
booth that has apparently been overlooked
Is that of the Cnocolat Menier Company
1t is as attractive as any in the hall, and
those in charge are unusually generous in
claimed to be the best chocolate in the
world.

Use For Half Burned Carbons.

There is already demand for the un-
used and half burned carbons from the
arc lights. Some one has discovered that
carbon is cure for consumption, and it
is well lzp9wn fact that men who work
in carbon factories are singularly
healthy. Just how the fragments Of car
bon are broken up and the particles in
hailed does not appear, but people collect
them good deal and profess to derive
benefit from their use, 1t has been
claimed for years that smoky atmos-
phere is good one for consumptive
patient, although this has been denied
by doctors again and again. The carbon
theory may account for what some peo-
pie believe to be nonsense and others an
infailible theory. - st. Louis Globe
