future a fine spire may crown the present

be erected
The present vestry is composed of Messrs.
A. d. Cobey, treasurer; Benjamin F. Tay-

ish since August, 1901 as rector; before
that time as assistant minister in Rock
Creek Parish.
Ground was broken for the foundation
of the new building on the eve Of Whit

noon at the close of the services the rector,
with the vestry and congregation, repaired
to the spot, where brief service of prayer
and praise was offered and special invoca-
ton and dedication made. 1t happens that

III. Why is Bible study helpful to relig-
ion?
Answer /. There are two distinct and dis
similar realms of being. called the natural
and the spiritual or the natural and the
supernatural: 2. the soul of man is endowed
with two classes of faculties, by which he
is capacitated and evidently intended to
sustain relations with both these realms 3.
man attains his true dignity and finds his
proper place and mission only when his fac
uties are developed 50 that he may sustain
proper relations with both realms: 4. man
is In constant danger of giving undue at
tention to the material to the neglect OF
the spiritual thereby peryerting and en-
feebling all his powers and bringing trouble
into his personal and social life: 5, II is the
purpose of religion to exalt and strengthen
the spiritual. and so restore man to his nor-
NAL state and insure his highest welfare; 9,
the facts relations and needs of the spir-
itual life and the agencies and methods OF
promoting It. are set forth in Sacred Scrip
ture and may be learned only by prolonged
study.
100. Does not II Cor. iii7. refer to the ten
commandments? Does not ii Cor, it'll,
mean that they have been established?
Answer Reference is here made to tho
old dispensatIon. whose ceremonial was to
be done away. The commandments on which
that ceremonial rested must abide forever,
because they covered perpetual duties

Tell the story of the three boys, whose
Christian mother. Bassa, had taught them
to love Christ and whose pagan father,
thinking they could soon be made to sac
rifice to idols, reported them and accused
them as Christians to the project of Edes-

and ankles and his body raked and torn
with sharp irons. but he would not give
up Christ. The executioners gashed his
body till he became insensble, and they
threw him mangled ami dead upon the
sand Agapius, a little boy of great
beauty, was next tortured. He cried:
King Christ, will not deny Theei Dear
Brother. will not deny Thee, but be brave
as Thou vast The executioners peeled
the skin from his head to his breast and
he died. The youngest was then brought
and asked his name. My mother calls
called-faithful." Without further delay
his head was cut Off.
