There are good many persons
who regard the Bible as an old
Fashioned book, long ago discarded
by business men and men of affairs
as not worth reading. For this
reason a good many persons doubt
less were surprised to read how
James FL. Eckels, former comptroller
Of the currency and president of the
second largest bank in Chicago, was
found dead Sunday morning with
MS Bible lying open on a table be-
sides him. Mr.. Eckels, 1t appears,
yrs in the habit of reading chapter
every night before going to sleep.
Evidently the Bible still occupies a
considerable place as a guide of life
even among men of the world.
