Mr.. Cleveland on the Bible.

g very much hope that in send

thing to invite more attention among
the masses of our people to the study
of the New Testament and the Bible
as whole. 1t seems to me that in
these days there is an unhappy fall
ing off in our appreciation of the I'M
portance of this study. L do not be
lieve, as people, that we can afford
to allow our interest in and venera-
tiOn for the Bible To abate. i look
upon it as the source from which
those who study it in spirit and in
truth will derive strength of charac-
ter, realization of the duty of citi-
zenship, and true apprehension OF
