Massachusetts is entering with
much enthusiasm into the Old Home
week movement and it's first celebra-
ticn is sure to be a great success. The
papers are having much to say about
it. local organizations are being ef-
fected and everything will be done TO
get back as many as possible of the
10000 natives of Massachusetts now
living In other states. Massachusetts
considering its much larger popula-
uon, has not SO many sons and
daughters living beyond its borders as
have Maine, New Hampshire and Yer
mont, but it has enough to provide a
happy and helpful reunion. BY the
way, it is not pleasant to record that
the interest in Names third Old Home
week Is at present at an exceedingly
low ebb.

The Bible.

The Bible is the friend Of all that is
pure and infidelity is the friend Of all
that is impure.
Christianity is the rising sun of our
time.
The most endearing institution on
| earth is the church.
The Bible is the most popular book
Of the century.
A man, city, q nation that reads
Gods word must be virtuous.
The greatest pictures are Bible pic
lures.
The Bible is great poem: everything
it touches it makes beautiful.
Nine-tenths Of all the good literature
of this age is merely the Bible diluted.
Every sentence of the Bible is
double barrelled.
God prepared the Bible for all classes
of people.
Educate a mans head and his heart
and you have the noblest work of God.
I Get your heart right and the Bible
will be all right.
There is not q sorrow that the Bible
does not comfort; there is not virtue
but it commends.
There is not a good law on the stat
ute book of any country that is not
founded on the Ten Commandments.
