which men have claimed TO be a part Of
the Bible II found I'm contradiction TO tact
will have to be carefully investigated. The
Bible, rightly understood and rightly In
terpreted, cannot possibly be out of har-
mony with the ordered universe nor with
the course of human events as seen in the
past. Your service to the epoch which shall
follow you will be a great one II you snail
succeed in co-ordinating the deathlees
truths of Gods word with the undeniable
facts of Gods world of matter and Of
events in this age of science and history.
Conclusion-Here in relation to these mat
ters which humanity will have to struggle
with in the next fifty years, you. young
Christians, will find your life work. II
cannot be performed in weakness, II can
only be performed in power. He who de-
votes himself simply to mercantile or
professional career and turns his mind
away from these matters and leaves them
to take their course is abandoning the
purposes for which God pu; him into his
tory. The right thing in international re.
lations, the right thing in the industrial
world, the right thing in economy, the
right thing with respect TO home and re-
ligion, must be done.

Chautauaua salute for Chapman.
President John II. Chapman was intro
duced as the optimlst of the society" He
was greeted by the futtering of many
handkerchiefs in a Chautauqua salute, and
he responded with the same salute to his
audience His address was of denomina-
tional nature. dwelling on the spirit of the
Baptist Church and ITS power to do, and
especially on the possibilities Of the Baptist

nor by power, but by my spirit saith the
Lord OF Hosts" Then he told some of the
things that had been done by the church
with the help of the spirit There never
was a time, he said, when loyalty TO the
truth was as necessary as now, when the
nations OF the earth are assuming new
political relations 10. each other and II Is
the duty OF the Baptist young people TO be
loyal to the truth. Unity Of state is an
assured fact IN America; the next thing
