Taft has lacked exercise, it is said, and
last week he began a series of walks
that have taken him to various parts
OF the city. He has forsaken the big
White HOUSE automobile for leisurely
walks about the capital.
Accompanied by Secretary Norton and
two Secret Service men. the President
yesterday strolled through Potomac
Park. and crossed the Highway bridge
to the Virginia side Of the river, where
he spent more than half an hour.
AS II Is still too cold and damp for
golf and too muddy in the country for
pleasant automobiling. the President
may continue his walks in the suburbs

"OUR BIBLE" THEME OF SERMON
Book Described a. s'voice From
Heaven for All Humanity"

Philosophy is an inquiry; the Bible
is an authority declared Rev. DR..
Radcliffe in the first OF series Of SER
mons in the New York Avenue Presby-
terrain Church, last evening on Our
Bible" in recognition of the tercen-
tenary Of the authorized version Of the
English Bible.
DR.. Radcliffe took as his special
theme what the Bible Is," and said
that it Is not text book. but q voice
from heaven for all humanity. He used
the words Of the apostle when he de-
scribed the Book as the word Of God
which giveth and lfveth forever"
The Bible was begun, the pastor
stated, 1,5OO years before Christ, and
was not finished until 100 years after
His death. DIR. Radcliffe called atten-
ton to the fact that 100 years ago
voltaire. atheist, prophesied that in 100
years the Bible would be a book of the
past.
'The fact that the Bible still thrives
and IL. more widely known in these
days than It was in Voltaire's time
goes far DR.. Radcliffe sair, ito prove
the assertion OF the apostle-'will live
