Recorder Of Unborn History.

Recorder Of Unborn History.
''The Bible is remarkable also for what
we may call its vast reach, 1t looks back
into the dateless past and forward into
the dateless future. Like rainbow it
overarches the whole of time, and is rad
liant with all the bright colors of hope
and promise. Eternity lives within the
covers of the Bible. At Is retrospective
and prospective. 1t Is the historian of the
prehistoric, and the recorder of prophecy
in history vet unborn. But in the for
ward look Of the Bible we find our high
est joy. Its prophetic eye penetrates the
future world. 1t is not confined to the
limits Of this narrow sphere. 1t, moves
In no controlled groove of conventionality.
The Bible is eternity itself. 1t is the in
finite, eternal sea on whose bosom the
years are bubbles and the centuries but
fecks Of foam.

vine, 80 years old, of Louisville. KY,

is said to have a remarkable soprano
voice. She came to this city last Sep
TENDER to take mp course Of vocal
instruction. She worked very hard
during the fall and winter and the
strain told on her. About . week ago
she complained that she could not stay
in her room, as she was afraid of suff-
coating.
The room is large and airy, and
even wher the windows were open she
that it choked her to re-
main in it. She also declared that she
was being prosecuted and that some
one was trying to rob her of her voice.
She talked so incoherently about the
imagined persecution that she was
sent to the hospital. Her father, Nor
ris Levine, lives at No. 229 East Mar
