Truth is to be interpreted in the
light of experiences. Not all Bible
words mean the same to all people Nor
do they mean the same to any one per-
son at different periods in his growth.
Character progresses from need to
need and the message that was the
word in season for youth is not the
message for age, with it's burdens and
sorrows. Still more remarkable is the
way Bible passages unfold into larger
meanings, with fuller experience. The
promise which was once priced for it's
meaning becomes tenfold more prec-
ious after it has been put to the deep
grown the Bible; nobody has ever
really grown up to the level of the
Bible.

HI. G. Weston.
The old fashion of committing Bible
verses to memory is perhaps not SC
common as it once was; although there
| is undoubtedly larger amount OF
| Bible study. There is much to be said
for the storing of the mind full of the
great and beautiful words of Holy
| Writ in early youth. The entire char
acter of a persons speech and thought
is influenced thereby The Bible that
| famous well of English undefiled,'
| has done more to preserve the dignity
and purity of the tongue than any
other agency. 1t a person reads onl!
the Bible he is bound to become re-
fined in thought and character. II

mere memoronic exercise become
weapons and defenses in the crises q

Read the Tedic literature of Hindu

BY s. MAYS BALL

We'll" MT. Chambers Is said to have replied, "posterity will not now pay me the rate per word, serially, and in book form, want. Present day will do SO. Selah"
 .Alsa Paice" is MT. Chambers latest effort, and in the humble opinion of this scribe is the best entertainer MT. Cham bers has produced since several years ago he quit writing books
 "Ailsa Paice" presents a picture of the stirring days in New York and Brook lyn just before and just after Fort Sum ter was fired upon. It shows the volun- teers starting gaily to the front, arrayed as for fancy ball, in copies of all the uniforms of Europe-zouaves, lances, hussars, dragons. whatnot. Then the story shows a mob, instead of an army, floundering in the red Virginia mud-and battle, murder and sudden death.
 Margaret E. Sangster in a letter to the publishers of "Ailsa Paige" among other things, said about the exciting times ''be- fore Sumter and .afterward, "As res- ident of Brooklyn in 1861 I know every inch of the ground and every heart throb of the place, and the hour which are .Ailsa Paige's' gackground. I have been living over the .past .. All right enough but MT. Chambers could not have been there. If he had been. well, could Miss Sangster today be living over the past in his pages, do you reckon? Hard ly 'living'-perhaps existing, or breath ing life into the 1861 times at Brooklyn with bellows? You never can tell really and truly, you know-never can, more s the pity!

Hence his pop ularity. Maybe!
 This wild love theme now offers us the picture of southern woman wh ose adored northern husband and northern bred son are fighting in the blue against the gray.

But with that flouted B. bosom-would you believe it?-in day and time when lovely woman was supposed to and really didn't have to do anything else, but wait patiently to be- wooed and won; good gracious, yes, in Mir. Chambers novel, still bear ing in mind the hero's Byronic bosom, all capitals-the wooing had all to be done by the dashing widow, Ailsa Paige, who gives her name to the book. Quite a good time it does seem to reduce prices on Byronic bosoms-~ eh? Of course 1t is a departure for Mr.
 Chambers to produce a widow as a heroine, but just between us all now, could he have found a better-a dash ing, passionate widow, who, in fact. had all this bosom and things we have been giving the heavy hero credit for? While the heros bosom may be. fake, he did nurse the c-r-u-e-l wrong of his birth and sought to tighten his gloom-poor chap-with riotous living-bad chap! MT. Chambers can not leave out or at least fail to put some one man or woman, in his later novels who simply has to get, drunk that's all there is to k. Tho dashing widow Also, still pursuing, still WOOL ing, fercely, however, is determined to make man of the hero and have him for her own. With the assistance of war Ailsa accomplishes at least one of her resolves. You know which one. too, don't you? Well, there Is pretty woman in the story who has come out of a music hall to become an army nurse-.a very sweet and attractive character really. There is a grim old, perspiring7ice colonel, there is the usual coward to each war tale and finally--but there isn't any finality to Mir. Chambers-on he goes forever
 ..Ailsa Paige" is certainly relief from novels showing in these 9x10 pictures of Wenzel, drunken, pretty women, lying on the floor, while their sweethearts looked on, whether the drunk came from cologne spirits or red eye. It Is. as be- fore stated the best thing MT. Cham bers has done in years, but now that he has. or must have, made so much money on these things, if heA only would write
