"The Holy Bible. !"

Next Sunday night at the Catholic
church the pastor will deliver a
lecture on "The Holy Bible" This
will be the first of series of Sun
day evening talks on questions moot
ed among Christians.
The first lecture will be histori-
cal review of the Bible with regard
to it's parts, its canon, its inspira-
tons and its language. The aim of
the pastor is to show that the Catho-
lie church holds a thoroughly ortho-
dox position on the Holy Scriptures
and counsels her children to possess
and to read them as the very word
of God.
Lovers of truth who are DESTROYS
of ascertaining the real positions of
the church on this point of doctrine
are invited to be present.
