The fundamental truths and principles

The fundamental truths and principles
of our civilization (Which is Chrlsten-
DOM are the teachings of the Holy Scrip
lures. and they are the bases of wise edu-
cation Christianity is not Il mere matter
of opinion. mere historic fact Or re-
suit OF reason and observation. 1t is the
revelation OF the Great Creator; 1t Is
great overwhelming fact. It's light Is as
the suns, the light of the world It's
presence and influence is no more to be
questioned than the light Of the sun;
nor the credentials OF its author any more
to be asked than those of the great lumi-
nary He is before the world as the
Sun Of Righteousness with healing in His
wings The difference between Christian
tty and human philosophy is that between
solar and terrestrial light and heat. One
is from heaven and life-glvinG. Ire
other is of the earth and earthly. Higher
criticism can no more affect Bible truth
than astronomy can affect the suns
spots and It's power. I venture to oIter
my observations to the Manufacturers
Record, because they are as practical
and real as anything you care for be-
cause religion is as necessary TO life as
gravity is to the physical world.

semblance to the works OF man. A lit
tie nearer in the land seemed simply
roughened, and it was not until we
had come very near to the shore that
it was possible to distinguish between
tie place where the city had once
been and the works of nature in the
rear toward the mountain.
But let us enter the town. It hardly
seems possible to tell in which direc-
tion and where the streets had former
ly run. Houses were toppled in and
scattered themselves to such an extent
that it appeared as if the same giant
hand which had once formed the site
for st. Pierre had now swept itself
over the entire city, knocking down
buildings with the ease that ten pins
fall when struck by the rolling ball.
There must have been'a wind with the
fury Of a terrible cyclone, for iron
bars as large as a mans wrist were
bent and twisted and huge trees have
been literally torn from the earth and
cast in every direction. Where there,
were no ruins to be seen i. was due
to the fact that they had been buried
far below the rivers of mud, which
had flowed down Pelee's side through
this natural gateway into the city. But.
most surprising of all, there was no
lava.
Looking to the north, to the east
and to the south there was one con-
tinued stretch of desolate ruin. At
no place in the city was there to be
seen house with roof, and, indeed.
there was not one house with walls
higher than what had been it's first
story. Dust and ashes were piled high
against the sides Of these flattened
walls, and huge rocks-some from the
volcano and some which had formed
parts Of buildings-had been thrown
here, there and everywhere And in
and among this monotony Of wreck
and ruin were the decomposing bodies
OF the former people Of st. Pierre.
How did this city meet it's doom :?
How was it possible that in less than
five minutes st. Pierre was changed
from a place Of life, joy and happiness
to this desolation? From an eye-wit-
ness-a priest-who lived about five
kilometers inland from st. Pierre and
partly around the mountain just out
side Of the blast of Pelee''s breath, we
obtained what is probably the best
description of the destruction sof the
city that has yet been given.
At about half past z in the morning
Of May Sth dense black mass of
smoke rising rapidly. rolling, twirling
and twisting upward to a prodigious
height, was seen coming from Pelee's
