BY WILLIAM T ELLIS

ConVent1onally pious advice is read
the Bible.' But the Bible is so big, and
so varied. and so full of things hard to
understand, that the very magnitude of
the task deters many persons from un-
dertakng 1t at all Why not go a step
at a time? Ignoring, for moment all
the other books of the wonderful col
lection, let US concentrate attention
upon the first volume of the immortal
library. Here is the Book of Genesis,
which. except for some dry spots, is
most interesting reading It is one of
the books which a person has to know
If he would make any claim to being
cuItlVated- All literature is full of al
lusions to it and quotations from it, It
IS a book that has dared the biggest
themes With divine audacity, it un-
dertakes to tell of the beginnings of the
universe, of God, of man, of sin, and of
hlstorys springs The most that man
kind knows about first things it has
learned from this Book of Beginnings.
A wise person makes sure that a pro-
portion of his reading is in the litera-
ture of power. That is to say he reads
books which inspire him. This old
story of first things is such a charac-
ter-making book. 1t lifts the spirit up
to vision of a wide horizon. 1t
kindles noble conceptions of God and
of man and of destiny. In its pages
may be found light for the present day.
The greatest books are those which
make the reader greater.
The person who reads Genesis as a
text book on geology may be disap-
pointed, but he who accepts it as a
handbook of life will be satisfied.

Critics are complaining that most of
the characters in the present volumin-

I tribes. The pastoral scenes in the Book
of Genesis breathe the very atmosphere
book We learn most of what is COM
monty known about Egypt. Joseph is
a man of like passions with ourselves:
he lives more vividly than any of the
PharaohS.
Back of the effect is the cause. Be
hind all beginnfngs-the beginnings of
biology, geology and stronomy-stands
the majestic figure of Omnipotence-
The major lesson of life has been mas
tered when the causal, creative place of
God has been learned. The key to the
riddle of life is that God the Creator
is also God the Father.
There are things hard to be under
stood in the Book of Genesis. Also In
the book of everyday life. The Teach
er of the universe pays his pupils the
compliment of assigning them hard
lessons.
Adam was a poor example for all
his grandchildren. He failed in
grown mans first obligation, which is
to assume responsibility for all his
own actions, and to shelter the woman
given to his care. He tried to blame
his own weakness upon the one whom
he should have been strong enough to
protect.
In every garden there is a serpent,
to prove whether man is fit to possess
the garden. A temptationless life
would be unworthy of sovereign souls

Food For Work Horses.

No sudden changes of food are good
for the work horse, says the Ohio
Farmer. People berate the steady.
monotonous rations of oats, bran. corn
and hay. but it is far safer to practice
such monotonous feeding than to be
continually giving the horse the sud
den and complete changes of food sug-
gested or even advocated by well
meaning but i'll Informed humanitari-
ans and theorists. Lastly, the horse re-
quires no medicines or stock food or
continental foods or condition pow
ders. Feed and care for him sensibly
and carefully, work him properly,
groom his well, see that his stable Is
sanitary. and he will thrive, work and
enjoy life. Horses enjoying the luxury
of life such as we have outlined are
damaged and insulted by every dose Of
dope mixed in their feed or squirted
or poured into their mouths.
