FIVE FEET OF BOOKS"

Reading is admittedly the Of culture. 1t is not
how much reads, but the kind and quality of the read
ing that counts Thousands of books are born and but
few of them live Many deserve die and hundreds ought
to have been written The law of life applies to
books it does to and mice Only the fest survive
Occasionally some book will live longer than necessity
may suggest, but these exceptions the rule ANY
book that is incapable of attracting the attention of critics
can have but little individual merit What to read in order
to acquire what is regarded as a liberal educaon has
long been pulling question with many, and far as
aware, but has ATTEMPTED the compilation
of the list
1t is interesting subject in any and all events There
grave doubts if any could be found to agree
upon such list of books. Therefore may be justified
i'll entering into this discussion, in that Dr. Charles W.
Eliot former president of Harvard College, has prepared
list of books, which is designated Give feet of
books and deemed to be necessary by him. to a liberal
education We afford ignore of the books men
toned by him, the exercise of private and per-
sonal Judgment do consider of those named
essential to such ISSUE In his list mention is made of
such writers Bacon Plato Epctets, Marcus Aureus,
Emerson Shelley, Goethe, Cicero Pny Plutarch, Dante,
Darwin, Adam Smith, and he includes Arabian nights
The significant feature about his list is that he has
omitted the bible altogether, and for his religious feature
he assigns Bunyans Pilgrims Progress as being all suf.
fcen This omission of the bible has created storm of
protest but all the preachers in the land could induce
him substitute the bible for any of the books named
or even to add it to the list he has compiled
That the bible should be regarded essential to a
course of study intended to produce what is called liberal
educaton by eminent authority in such Matters is
really and truly significant 1t is declaration of dis
regard for the bible. 1t also that the writings Of
the worlds scholars and thinkers vastly superior to
the bible for the purpose outlined That many preachers

One MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A GOOD STOMACH
This Offer Should be a Warning
to Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical journals
recently have had much to say relative
to a famous millionaire's offer of a
million dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionare was too
busy to worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia
to run from bad to worse until in the
end it became incurable
His misfortune serves as warning
to others.
Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia
for few years will give everything he
owns for new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is
one element missing. The absence of
this destroys the function of the gas
trio fluids. They lose their power to
digest food.
We are now able to supply the miss
ing element-tO restore to the gastric
juices their digestive power, and to
make the stomach strong and well.
We know that ReXall Dyspepsia Tab
lets will positively and permanently
cure disordered stomachs, indigestion
and dyspepsia.
We want you to try them and will
return your money if you are not more
than satisfied with the result.
Price, 20 cents, Only at our store, or
by mail. Grant Holden.

Teacher Training Class.

Tho Bible Question Bee given in the
Mechanic Street Church of Christ last
Tuesday evening proved marked sue
cess and the students in the teacher
training class can be congratulated on
the thorough manner in which they are
preparing their lessons. Nearly every
one remained standing when the list OF
questions was exhausted and if they
continue in this way throughout the
year the international Association will
have the pleasure of granting goodly
number of diplomas to the Yale class.
Elder McColl gave very inspiring
talk after the contest in which he
showed clearly the great need of this
work in every church in our land. He
showed how men are always endeavor-
ing to undermine the truths of the bible
and make the word of God worthless
fable and in order to be able to repudi-
ate such teaching and also be effectual
in our workings for Christ it is very es-
sential that every Christian should be a
trained Christian who thoroughly
understands the book on which he
builds his hopes.
The entire class will welcome to their
midst any one regardless of their
church membership, who wishes to bet
ter equip themselves for the great work
of conquering the world for Christ
The book used is the well known
Training for Service" by Herbert
Monninger which is in use today more
than all other books of its class com
bined and in its teaching simply en-
deavors to bring to the student the
great truths universally accepted and
thus is in every sense an interdenom-
national book.
Those considering taking up the
study should do so at once and have
the benefit of the first lessons with the
class.
