City Churches Hold Brief Sunday Services While Summer Days nge

years the Bible will not be read How
little the poor man knew on the sub
ject.
The frontispiece Of a we'll known
Wyckliffe Bible pictures Satan aud
others, religious and irreligious, blow
ing with all their might to put out a
light In proportion as they exhausted
their energy the light burned the more
brightly.
A story is told respecting the Tyn-
dale Bible which illustrates the poirt
we are making, namely, the impossi-
bility of extinguishing Gods Word.
Tyndale, while at the university OF
Cambridge, England. devoted much Of
his life energy to the translation Of th9
Bible. He remarked to an opponent
IF God spare my life, ere many years
l will cause a boy that driveth the
plow to know more of the Scriptures
than thou dost.
Tyndale's project of publishing the
Bible In the English language was so
seriously opposed In England that he
removed to German cities and, In the
year 1926 A. d., his translation of the
New Testament was issued. Copies of
It poured into England The Bishop Of
London was so opposed that he col
lected and burned as many copies as
he could, at St Paul's Cross in Lon
don. Yet more copies came. He could
not destroy them The Bishop collected
monies wherewith to buy up the whole
edition. The purchase was entrusted TO
a merchant named Parkington, who
went to Germany and purchased the
books. Addressing Tyndale, he said :
"Wilham, l know thou art a poor man
and hast an heap Of New Testaments
and books by thee, and ] have nov
gotten a merchant which with ready
money will buy all thou hast" Typ-
dale inquired, who Is this merchant
Mr.. Parklngton answered, THE Bishop
Of London" Obi" said Tyndale, that
is because he will burn them" "Yes,
he will" said Parkington Tyndale was
glad because thus he could get out OF
debt and he said, "The world will cry
out against the burning Of Gods
Word" The money from the same en-
! abled Tyndale to get out a new edl-
4 tiOn with errors corrected and much
better than the one that was burn cd.
Better Interpretations Opposed
Although we have passed the day
when any would attempt to destroy the
/ Bible, we have not passed the day of

Satan would fain have the people Of

study and appreciate its contents. In

Word of God-disclosing 70 US the fact

DOVER, Del, Aug. 12.--All Della
ware has suffered the effects Of the dry
and extremely hot weather. aud yet
some crops have pulled through. The
apple crop has not been materially af-
fected
Wheat WAS certainly much better
than last year and many farmers have
gone over 80 and even some have gone
TO 80 bushel averages to the acre
The corn crop has been greatly re-
vived by recent rains, but there are
some farmers who report that some Of
the late corn will never make" and.
Of course, the early corn is injured by
drought. All in all. IL is believed that
corn will show a 60 per cent. crop.
This is a good cantaloupe year. Rail-
road reports show that from Delaware,
up to this time last year, there we're
shipped out 1862 carriers of can
taloupes. This year to date there have
been shipped 1926 carriers. The
shipments last Saturday reached H.
455 carriers for the day, as compared
to 1899 for the same day of 1910 The
cantaloupe crop shipped altogether in
1909 was 25S.932, while in 1910 IL
reached 279,1S6 carriers. II is believed
this year will push tho records still
higher.
The failure of market gardening
will be a serious loss to the peninsula
and the only hope is that tomatoes
may come in with a large late crop
and help the farmers and growers TO
recoup some Of their losses. This
really looks like good tomato year.

x:

the Dark Ages is contrary to the Bible
as we'll as to reason. Many Of the pro-
fessed teachers Of the church are
heartily oppos ed to Bible study, al
though their opposition is advanced
as cautiously as possible 'for fear Of
the people"
AS the time OF natural lsraels vis-
itation was at the First Advent. so the
time of spiritual Israel's visitation ls
at the Second Advent As nominal
Israel stumbled and was blinded and
failed to receive the King and lost
the blessing, 30 VIII It be with nomi-
nal Israel. Thus It is written, HE
shall be for a stone OF stumbling and
rock of offence to both houses of
Israel" As with the Jews (every "Is-
raelite indeed" In whom was no guile.
was specially blessed and kept and
assisted). so Il will be here All
others will stumble and, as il Is writ
ten, "A thousand at thy right hand,
but It shall not come nigh thee. Only
with thine eyes shalt thou behold and
sec the reward Of the wicked"
psalm xci. 7. 81.
Scriptural truth Is a scarce COM
modify at the present time-the world
Is full Of error and sin and unright-
eousness. The Lords disciples must
so love truth and righteousness as TO
hunger and thirst for it. To such
spiritual food Will be granted. Truth
will be dispensed to them as meat
in due season"
The Scriptures from first to last
give us to understand that Gods
Word is to shine more and more
brightly down to the very end OF this
Gospel Age St. Peter declares Il to
be "the more sure Word of prophecy
to which we do we'll that we take
heed. as to be "the more sure Word OF
prophecy TO which We do we'll that
We take heed. as TO a light shining
in a dark place until the day dawn
and the day star arise in your hearts
(II Peter (. 19.)
The Bishop Of London opposed the
Tyndale translation because the prac-
tices Of the time were not I'm har-
mony with the Scriptures. Similarly
today, there are doctrines traditions
creeds from the dark ages still rev.
erenced, and which a better under
standing OF the Bible would correct
and put to shame. Hence the opposi-
tion to the better understanding OF
Gods Word Nevertheless. the Word
OF God shall stand forever and the
spirit OF the truth shall make free all
the children Of the truth.
Truth crushed TO earth shall rise
again,
The eternal years of God are hers"

DESTROYING COPS WORD
jeremiah 36-Aug. IL
"The Word Of our God shall stand for
eyer.o-Isaiah 40s IL

JtEtnlhu Oo-AuEs 10
"The Word of our God shall stand for
eVer."-Isaiah 40, IS
The Prophet jeremiah was shut up
in prison. The disaster upon the
kingdom had, to some extent, awak-
ened the people to a slight repent
ance In which the king Joined. yet
il was a repentance Of fear rather
than heart repentance. The king had
enmity against jeremiah because the
Divine message came through him.
He seems TO have hoped to restrain
the Prophet from further proclama-
ton OF the coming trouble through
fear. However. the Lord directed the
Prophet to write out all OF his
prophecies on scroll. after the an
cient style. In columns jeremiah
dictated and Baruch served him as
amanuensis.
By the Lords direction this book Of
jeremiah was TO be read TO all the
people. in the temple, on the occasion
of a general gathering for worship
and repentance. Since the Prophet
himself could not go, he directed
Baruch, who took the scroll and read
1t In the hearing of the people. It's
prophecies of dire disaster made a
deep impression. One of the princes
of the people was present and heard
the reading and reported to others of
the kings counsellors. They sent for
Baruch and had him read It before
them all. They, also, we're deeply
impressed and concluded that il
should be brought before the king.
But meantime Baruch and Jeremiah
we're hidden. the probability of the
kings displeasure being great.
Hearing of the manuscript, the king
was anxious to have It read before
him by a scribe. During the reading
as two OF three columns of the manu-
script we're read, the king cut them
off with a pen knife and threw them
into the fire-until the entire manu-
script was heard and destroyed. BY
the Lords direction jeremiah dictated
his prophecies afresh, Baruch again
acting as amanuensis and this edi.
tion was made still more complete
than the former. Amongst other
things It included the Divine edici
that none of Jehoiakim's posterity
should ever sit upon the throne Of
David.
Gods Word Indestructible.
Thomas Paine, Voltaire and Inger-
soil imagined that they had made the
Word of God to appear so ridiculous
that It would nevermore have infiu-
ence amongst men. Robert Ingersoll
is quoted as having said: in ten
