THE BIBLE AS A GUIDE.
rev. DIR. schaefTer's Lecture Before
the Industrial College.

"e Ahuubtriut college,.
The second of the course of lectures on
the Bible, at the Georgia State Industrial
College, was delivered by Rev. w. c.
Schaeffer, d. d. His subject was The
Bible As Guide In Practical Morals"
He selected as the basis Of his talk II
Timothy, chapter. 16 and II verses: IAN
Scripture Is given by inspiration Of God
and Is profitable for doctrine. for reproof,
for correction, for instruction In righteous
ness; that the man OF God may be perfect
thoroughly furnished unto all good works. .
DR.. Schaeffer spoke Of the books of the
past, written as moral guides, of Brahma.
Confucius and other Pagan writers. Their
books as moral guides, he said, have
proven either transitory or unreliable.
There Is nothing to compare with the
Bible; Il Is Gods word; 1t is Gods law; Il
Is Gods power, and nothing Of mans can
match II. IL is not only a guide, but II Is
the guide"
He spoke of its universal adaptation and
distribution; that IL is suited as a guide
for all conditions of humanity. 1t suits
the learned and the unlearned. 1t trans
forms the cannibaI into a man lover and
the demon into God-fearing man. II
gives the greatest moral power He mem
a.
1T was not Paul who trembled, but
Agrippa the king" He spoke of Martin
Luther as illustrating the great moral
power Of men Of God. There was once
DR.. Schaeffer said. "a saying among the
Greeks, Know thyself But" he added.
man could not know himself. He strug-
gled, but he could not known In only one
way That way was revealed in Gods
word" The Bible not only tells what to
do. but tells how TO do II. and has left IN
the life Of Jesus Christ a shining example;
for Christ 10 the Word.
THE Bible gives our mission and tells
us how TO fulfil Il. II Is only when YOU
have the word, not simply as a guide, but
when this word is In you, that you will be
able TO live right and exert a right infu-
ence upon your fellows. IL Is the word OF
God In you that establishes your every
relation with God; that will make you like
him"
THE Bible Is a mighty force IN morals.
/ invite you TO take II. Ycu cannot sue
coed without II. Fill your life with the
word, and through faith In the Son OF the
living God. go on your mission. Say that
l will make this world better by having
lived in Il and / will make others better
because the Son OF God lives In me
through the inspiration OF his word. God
speed you on your mission Go forward:
stand In the power OF the word and an
unspeakable reward for such a life will De
yours"
The address was forclble and eloquent.
The next lecture at the college viii be de-
livered by Rev. Arthur j. Smith on The

While losses block the way.
To think that poverty can yield

That all your future In them lies,
And what your hopes may be.

Test For Bicycle Wheels.

An apparatus for testing the dura-
bility Of bicycle wheels, described in
Uhland's Wochenschrift, consists of a
frame receiving the bicycling wheels
and weights corresponding to the
average weight of a rider. The
wheel to be tested rests with its tire
on large pulley rotated by machin-
cry, and the pulley has on its rim a
series of projections of various widths
and heights. The wheel then strikes
the projections, and is subjected to
the same strain as when striking OBJ
stacles on the road. The test is con-
tinued for about IL hours, the pulley
being rotated at such a rate Of speed
as to give the wheel a number of
revolutions corresponding to travel
OF about ITO miles.

BOW the Grizzly Eats Peanuts.

A man who stood in front of the
bear pit at the menagerie in Central
park was greatly interested in obser-
wing just how the big grizzly bear
took the peanuts that one of the
visitors was handing to him. The
bear stood up at an angle of about
4s degrees, hind feet on the floor Of
the pit, one fore foot resting on the
stone ledge in which the bars of the
cage are lmbedded, the other extend
ed through the bars to take the pea
nuts. He did not clutch them under
his claws and then turn the claws in
ward upon the ball of his foot, but
when he reached out through the bars
he spread his claws apart sideways,
as one might spread the fingers of his
hand apart. The visitor would place
peanut between two of the claws,
and then the bear would close the
claws together, as one would close
the fingers of his outstretched hand.
He would hold the peanut between
two claws in the same manner that a
man sometimes holds a cigar between
two fingers. Holding it thus, the
bear would carry the peanut to his
mouth /; then, thrusting his paw out
between the bars again, he would
open his claw out sideways as before
waiting for another.
"I suppose it must be an acquired
taste," said solemn faced bystander
referring to the bears apparent fond
ness for peanuts.
81 don't know" said another man
I'm not so sure but what there arr
some places where grizzlies live tha
peanuts grow"
"That may be-" said the solemn
faced man, " but I'm sure there
no place where they grow baked.
