all truth. from hence radtates all the natural laws of God.
 The speaker then venttired to say that the Bible in itself Is entitled to q rank as a work of literature In the Book of Books. is to be found the finest of poetry. the acme of historical writ ing and among the greatest of narra- tive. These are all in the Old as well as the New Testament.
 But there are higher and better req sons for the exaltation of this Sacred literary merits are established. Every soul though. should be given a look into the Scriptures. because 1t is through them that the Almighty God, himself. has spoken to this ruined world.
 Tt is through this Book that He has taught the purest theology, the only ethics and our religion
 Dr. Stakely said 1t Is even we'll for people to have the Bible always. despite the erroneous Interpretations that are piled around it's teachings, It Is an exceedingly comprehensive book, and 1t Is granted that in it's covers are many revelations that one cannot fully understand. The finite mind is inade- quate to penetrate to the very depths of divine truth.
 T cannot but believe" said Dr. Stakely, that it was Gods purpose not to over illuminate His teachings be- cause it would dazzle us with their full-orbed brilliancy. For does not the sun give off more heat and light than we have ever yet appropriatedr
 A striking declaration of pr. Stakely in his address and one right in line with the spirit of the Bible societies the world over, was that "the Bible needs not so much defense as convey ance."
 If we had spent less time in apolo- getics and devoted more to evangelics In the by-gone days. we would be bet ter off today" he said.
 An Appeal for Industry.
 Then followed an ardent appeal Tor propagation of the sentiment of truth and redemption in the Bible.
 After answering the scientist in the query of why the Biblical revelations were not made by scientific methods. the speaker presented the Book to the test against infidelity. He said:
 q think you will agree with me that if you bring infidelity itself face to face with the proposition of destroying the Bible and the eternal good 1t has wrought, that inidelity would say, God save us from the dread results"
 Dr. Stakely concluded by setting out the most precious of all the contents of the Bible, the promise of redensotion and its plan. This, he said, should be carried to every living soul.
 The Board of Directors of the Ala bama Bible Society will hold its annual meeting this afternoon for the trans action of business matters. The meet ing will be held in the rooms of the Society on Dexter Avenue.

REMOVAL OF HALL.
Heney's Efforts saccessfuI In securina
 His Dismissal.

Portland. Ore, Jan. 1.-The causes which led to the removal of John H. Hall. United States District Attorney, for Oregon, dated back prior to the in- dictments returned against S. A. D. Potter and Mrs. Emma Watson, but did not become acute until after the recent trial of the land fraud cases.
 It is said that the case of George Sorensen was one of the first causes that led to the request of MT. Heney that Mir Hall be removed. Sorensen was wanted as a witness by the Gov ernment in the Puter-Watson trial. He had. however, left for the East and could not be located. MT. Heney ask- ed that he be found, as his evidence would have been material in the conis pletiOn of the Governments case. No one seemed to know anything of his whereabouts until about the close of the case when, 1t is asserted. Mir. Hall said he thought that Sorensen was at Lacrosse. Wis. and 1t after wards developed that. so 1t Is saids that he had been in eomnunication with him there.
 It was then that the breach began to widen between Heney and te district attorney.
 Finally Mir. Heney became convinced that he was not receiving the cordial sympathy of Mir. Hall in the prosecu- tion of the cases and made the request to the President for NIT. Halls res moval.
