BUILDING ON FIRE
FIRE DEPARTMENT MAKES RUN
TO THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
BUILDING, BUT BLAZE WAS CON-
FINED TO AWNING.

Considerable excitement was caused yes
terday afternoon at 1 O'Clock, when the
fire department made a flying run to the
First National bank building, from the
front of which smoke was seen issuing.
Many of the occupants of the build
ing, thinking the structure. was on fire,
rushed into the street, and from the win

were protruding.
The fire, however, was confined to the
awning in front of A. e. Campbelfs cafe.
This awning was destroyed before the
department could extinguish the blaze.

from burning cigar thrown from one of
the office windows above.
Another run was made by the depart

caused by defective flue, partially de-

Making History.

. Up to the year 1000 b. C. the Israelites
were making history, not recording and
interpreting 1t with a view to making
clear to men the divine guidance in that
life Yet they were getting the material
for the religious literature which was to
enter into the Hexateuch and other books.
Then came the period when they were
collecting these fragments into Anthol-
ogies and other collections of stories,
such as the book of Jasher, the words of
Jehovah, laws and such like. But as yet
there was hardly literature. But in the
ninth century was composed the ia
havistic narrative of the Hexateuch in
the southern kingdom, and little later
the Eloistic in the nothern kingdom.
which were received very much as We
do the Bible today. These two were
later put together into one narrative
which was better than either of them.
Later the priests wrote an institutional
history out of the same source largely,
which was in turn combined with the
united narrative which had gone before,
and our present Hexateuch came into
being in the early years after the exlla
The lecturer then gave an estimate of
the value of this theory of the growth of
the Old Testament in its Interpretation,
showing that it had history which was
the key to its valuable meaning. 1t had
grown up in people who had God in
their life and were eager to make Him
known: and was an actual history of life
in all its progress from infancy to ma
turity. Dr. Sanders then showed how
the Bible lost nothing, and gained much,
in its practical value as Bible by being
read in the light of its historical growth.
The distinguished lecturer will speak
again today at 1890 a. m. and tonight at
o'clock His subject will be ..rhe Idea
of God in the Old Testament

Medieval Ideas of Women.

John Nevisan, who died in Turin in
1910. stated the medieval notion of
women in his Sylvia Nuptials," when
after remarking that the Author Of
Good had made women entirely with
the exception of her head. he added
briefly: "Permisit Deus illud facere
daemonio" Good let the devil make
that"). In the same century Jean
Raulin preached that man, composed
of clay. is silent and ponderous; but
woman gives evidence Of her osseous
origin by the rattle she keeps up" 1t
was another Frenchman, Henrior. the
orientalist, who was gracious enough
to allow woman the supremacy in one
respect at least. With minute accur-
acy he fixes the height Of Noah at 1903
feet, of Moses at 10 feet, Of Hercules
at 10 feet. Of Alexander the Great and
julius Caesar at and feet. respect

It made short work of the salmon
net, but one of the fishermen loaded

found stranded in shallow water at

the collie dog and It's performance
that he decided to keep 1t few days
before sending 1t back. One day he
