would not understand. Even in New
England there has been great fall
ing off in Bible study. In the early
days of Massachusetts the people read
the Bible from cover to cover. The
| Scotch Covenanters and CromwelPs
Ironsides were as fine soldiers as the
world has ever seen. They talked
Bible language and went into battle
with the Word Of God in their mouths
and two-edged sword in their hands.
1t was the Sword of the Lord and of
Gideon For them brown bread
and the Gospel was good fare" The
decrease in Bible reading generally, if
there has been decrease, has been
due to many causes. One of these is
that the old custom of family prayers,
where the children and servants gath
cred in the sitting room night and
morning to listen to chapter from
the Bible and brief prayers appropriate
to THE beginning or at the end of the
day, is not generally observed. Chill
den who in their tender years listen to
this reading of the big family Bible, or
hear the Old Testament stories from
their mothers lips, never forget them.
The so-called higher criticism of
the Bible is responsible, doubtless, for
the decrease in Bible study. The
masses of the people do not differen-
tiate very nicely. They argue that if
the Bible is the Word of God, and it's
writer's inspired by God, then it must
be true. But if it is part true
and part error, if it is not in
splred, il things which are told as
facts are not facts but merely allegory
or fables, then the Bible can not be
the Word of God, and is not worth
reading. This may be faulty reason
ing, but it is the reasoning of the
masses, and even among those whose
faith has not been undermined by the
critics, there may be in many cases an
unconscious decrease in reverence for
the Book of Books" The Bible is no
longer the only book of the plain peo-
pie, as it once was, because so many
other books are now accessible to the
very poorest classes.
Apart from it's sacred character. the
authorized version of the Bible is
worthy of the study of all who aspire
to learn the English language in it's
purity. The English of the trans
lators is model of simplicity, beauty
and nobility, which no other writers
of English have surpassed. In no
other book is SO much told in words
SO few and SO simple. It's narratives
describe human nature and the mo-
tives and impulses of men more cor
rectly than has been done in any other
book. 1t is the pattern of literary
style which was carefully studied and
constantly quoted by the great orators
OF former generations in this country.
Roger @. Mills of Texas, a great Bible
student, frequently informed the writer
of this, that he never addressed a pop-
ular gathering without carefully inter
larding his remarks with appropriate
Bible epigrams. 'The Bible" said
Daniel Webster, is in his Bunker Hill
monument speech, ''is a book of faith,
and book of morals and book of re-
ligion, of especial revelation from
Cod
Within that awful volume lies
The mystery of mysteries!
Happiest they of human race
To whom God has granted grace
To read to fear, to hope, to pray,
To lift the latch and force the way,
And better had they ne'er been born
Who read to doubt or read to scorn.

One of the most conclusive evidences
that the tariff benefits the trusts is
the fact that the trusts object to any
revision Of the tariff Some time ago
that rock-ribbed Republican, Speaker
Henderson, in a. letter to an Iowa con-
stituent, described number of the
schedules of the Dingley tariff as 'cry-
ing out for revision so grossly abused
had they been in sheltening monopoly
at the expense of the consumer. And
he was right. Judged by results, the
Dingley tariff is a tariff that protects
the trusts while the trusts rob the con-
sumner The steel trust made s140.-
100000 last year. 1t is needless to saw
to any sane man that the consumers
paid that out of their pockets. in ad-
ddtion to the real cost of the goods
bought.

MEMORIAL SERVICES.

Very touching and appropriate
memorial services were held at the
Methodist church, Sunday morning in
memory of Miss Emma L. Berger, who
was one of the most beloved of the
young people of the society, and a very
earnest worker in the Epworth League.
The church was very beautifully but
simply decorated for the occasion. On
speaker, was the Epworth League en-
blem, draped in mourning, and at the
foot of the easel large bouquet of cut
flowers. Upon the pastors table some
flowers, while large ferns added to the
decorations.
The Ladies Quartette furnished the
music, and sweetly sang, Lead, Kindly
Light" Rev. Frank A. Pease took as
his theme, The Mystery of Life and
for his text these words, eve Spend
Our Years as a Tale that is Told"
The sermon was fitting tribute to
the memory of her whom all
loved, and, at the same time, was a
faithful presentation of the Christian
teachings of how to live. There was a
very large congregation, every seat be-
ing taken. At the service of the Epworth
League in the evening, conducted by
"Father" James, the following resolu.
tons were presented and adopted:
WHEREAS, God in His wisdom has
taken from us our dear friend and
efficient worker in the church, Emma
f. Berger, and
WHEREAS, The Epworth League feel
the sorrow of great loss, be it
ResOlUed, That we trust in God to lead
us in the gloom as well as in the open
day; for we believe
GAN is of God If He but waive his hand
The mists collect, the rain falls thick and loud
Till, with smile of light on sea and land,
Lo He looks back from the departing cloud
Angels of Life and Death alike are His:
Without His leave they pass no threshold DER
Who then would wish or dare believing this
Against His messengers TO shut the door 2"
And be it further
Resolued, That we emulate the Chris.
tian example of our departed friend in
her ministrations of love everywhere
in her sweetness and strength of char.
acter, and in her fidelity Co Christ and
tire church
ResolUed, That we extend our sym.
pathy to the bereaved family, and by our
most earnest prayers commit them to
Him who hath borne our griefs and
.carried our Sorrows
Resolued, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes oil our Chap
ter, and that copy be given to the
family, and to the press for republication.
