The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-02-21

1t frequently happens that the Presi dent or some member of hls family is the owner of some treasured volume of the Scriptures, which 1t is desired that he should use upon this sacred and important occasion.
 This was the case when Groyer cleveland was inaugurated He was the owner of small Bible, not larger than your hand. and which apparently had seen much usage His mothe CT had presented 1t to him when hA was A boy and he had treasured 1t ever since when he was consulted about taking the oath, when first inaugurated as President, he stated that he desired his mothers present should be used TOT thts purpose. When the oath was administered to him at the beginning of his second administration, the same volume, which on this occasion had been hunted out by Mrs Cleveland, was again brought forward and presented as the one upon which her husband should make his pledges.
 Quite in contrast with this little vol ume was the one used in administeriAR the oath to MT. Mckinley The negro bishops joined together and presented to MT Mckinley one of the biggest books l have ever seen It was an extraordinary large family Bible, bound ln- heaVy morocco, trimmed in gold and stored in much ornamented box. I remember very well that I was quite Tagged out from carrying it to the Senate chamber. and from that chamber to the platform in front of the Capitol. After the Bible had been used for this purpose, I turned 1t over to the Pres ident, but notwithstanding he had ale ready received 1t, the donors afterward called at the White House and presen- ted it with formal speeches, to which Mir. Mckinley made appropriate reply.
 President Roosevelt was sworn 1p on Bible which had been used for tn c same purpose when he was inaugurated Governor of New York. We had bought Bible for his Inauguration when we received word from Mrs Roosevelt that she preferred the use of their own volume. and 1t was &C., cordingly substituted.
 We still have on hand the Bible bought for that occasion. but we shall not usa- it for Mir. Taft.
