vERAclTY OF THE BIBLE
After Visit to the Holy Land Even
skeptie Must Be Con-
vinced

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem. and, in
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and proper sense of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have transpired there. and that is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
us today as having been associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
and other events that enter into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts of them
as furnished us In the pages of the
Holy Scriptures They agree with
them in every respect and it is i'm
possible. after carefully considering
and comparing them. to doubt their
identity. SO exactly are they in accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
ment OF the buildings, the very arti-
cles OF diet and clothing OF ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
doings and surroundings OF today In
deed. where modern methods have not
become obtrusiye the manners and
customs of the people remain much
the same as in the days Of the pres
ence on earth of the Saviour Be
tween the descriptions given in the
Bible OF localities, climatic and geo
graphical conditions, distances, etc,
OF these times and those Of today
there is hardly any discrepancy Even
a skeptic. considering this remarkable
accord Of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con-
yinced of its yeracity: to the believer
II comes as wonderful conviction,
a satisfactory corroboration or en-
couragement to see things as those
who described them so graphically
saw them SO long ago.-Columbian

C0Y0TE-PR00F FENCE
is A GREAT SUCCESS

An experiment begun by the United
States department Of agriculture on the
Wallowe national forest In Oregon caused
r III. Taylor OF Mancos. Colo, to make
tests OF a coyote-proof fence on sheer
range The test Is said TO have been
highly satisfactory.
In letter to the department Mr.. Tay-
lor states that he inclosed about SOC
acres OF sheep grazing land with the
coyote-proof fence and that. In the YER
nacular OF the herder. about 100 per cent
or the lambs were saved.
Mr.. Taylor states that he considers the
fence q splendid investment since II
easily pays for Itself in three years He
further states that II is often difficult
and sometimes impossible to set men
during the lanbing season. For this rea =
son the money value Of the fence can
hardly be estimated
The government experiment seemed to
be productive OF highly satisfactory re-
suits The Oregon inclosure carried more
sheep than an equal area OF range of the
same quality outside. produced heavier
lamp crop, heavier sheep and more wool
and at the same time resulted In bet
ter condition of the range Itself. These
advantages are due to the different be-
havior Of sheep pastured within such an
lnclosure from that OF sheep herded In
the ordinary way
