The Interna ional Bible Study club
work, intended to promote a wider
study of the Bible and the great truths
of Chris DAINTY, which was introduced
several weeks ago by the Sunday
Union Sta esman has met with the
hearty approval of the clergymen OF
the city. Without exception they en-
dorse Dr. Linscott's suggestive ques-
tions and do not hesitate in recon-
mending them to their congregations
Endorsements from some of the lead
ing pastors of the city are given be-
low:
Rev. Robert Warner, pastor Wilbur
Memorial M. E. church: Il have reao
with interest your Suggestive CUES
tons on the International Sunday
School lessons. These questions suggest
the practical teachings of the lesson
and are designed to cause people tc
think along safe and practical lines In
the Interpretation of the Scriptures
They should be read extensively and
accomplish much good
Rev. j. c. Reid, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church: "Allow me to say
that l have glanced over Suggestive
Questions on the international Sum
day school lessons by DR.. Linscott and
that I believe the following of the same
from week to week will prove helpful
to both Sabbath school attendants and
non attendants.
II am always glad to see something
of this kind in the daily press, es-
pecially in the Sunday edition. Shall be
glad to see other religious fea- ures in
troducsd from time to time"
There seems to be some mlsun-
derstanding among those who have
taken up the FORK as to the re tuire-
ments of the club. Only one question,
which is plainly indicated, is to be ans
wered each week. The others are for

that Abe Ruef is chemically unbalanced

mental attitude, Prof George M. STRAIT

1t was at an informal session,
after one Of the regular meetings
of a religious convention, that the
New Hampshire minister told some
of his best stories. There is one
man in our church," he said, "who
is as good as gold, but so long wind
ed that he tires everybody out.
At one time it was suggested by
one of the deacons that in order to
avoid the extreme length of this
good mans remarks at prayer meet
ing We might make a five minute
limit.
This | inaugurated at the next
meeting, and it was cheering to us
all to see that when the long winded
man rose to speak he held his open
watch in his left hand.
"When the limit was all but
reached he said, Finding, my dear
friends, that l have only a few sec
onds left in which to speak and
having much to say, l will throw
the rest of my remarks into the
