BIBLE IS STILL BEST SELLER

CHICAGO, April 16-"No best sell CT since the Bible was first printed has ever equaled il ill numbers of copies circulated"
 This is one reason urged by Henry E. F. Mcfarland, former United States commissioner for the district of Co., lumbia, before the Sunday Evening club last night why all should read the Bible.
 During 1909 nearly 13.O0O 900 cop ies were sold by the principal church publishing houses,' he said. and G. 00o.Uoo were sold by commercial houses. The total number for 1910 exceeded 20,OO0.60O.
 The modern best seller. next to the Bible. was Uncle Toms Cabin. in 1S52. the year after it's publica- ton, 30o,o00 copyrighted copies and l.500.ooo copies from prated editions were sold. according to the libra rian of the congressional library. Dur ing the last century, 341 ,OO0,000 cOp- es of the Bible have been sold and it is now translated into 52O Ian guages. while Uncle Toms Cabin is found in twenty-three languages"
 The speaker said that while the Bible was more widely read than ever, ignorance of il among the SC. called educated classes is astOund- ing He said college students in the upper classes were usually unable to understand the simplest allusions to Bible facts. He emphasized the fact that the Bible is the foundation of English literature and must be known before any other classic can be un- derStOOd.
 No man who knows the Bible is uneducated, he said and no one who does not know it is educated.
 Not only is the Bible the foun- dation of all literature. but it con tains the best principles of law adopted by all nations. II teaches democracy and representative gov ernment. IT gave the first idea of the separation of government into the legislative, executive and judi Cial departments.
 The importance of the Bible as a sacred book was last treated by the speaker He said there have been other sacred writings. but they have been helpful only in the degree that they have reflected Bible truths.

FOR REVENUE ONLY,

Governor Shafroth hit the nail on the head when he declared that the New Nationalism would make a mono poly more to be dreaded than any combination of the Morgans and RockefellerS; a monopoly of natural resources under the absolute control of federal bureaus at Washington. He might have carried the compari- son one step farther. He might have added that the real, bedrock object of the New Nationalistc monopoly is the same as the object of the pri- vate monopoly. Both are after the dollars. Mir. Pinchot's real solici- tude for the timber may be judged from the fact that he never, in all his official career, raised protest against the lumber tariff which offers direct bounty for the destruction

 On this showing alone the Citizen believes il has fair grounds on which to base the statement that MT Cross ley k not qualified for his position. but the ridiculous interpretations he has applied to the statutes referred To would seem to leave no room for any doubt

V~NT HE GtOFys OF the chaI IN
e9lMN which King George v. will
Ssqk be crowned at Westmin-
uHA ster Abbey is strangely
Sk)(T interesting Its authentic
history carries US back to
the time when Scotland
had her own kIngs, and scone was
at once her Windsor and her corona
ton Westminster Abbey
Among other relics which It con-
,alns IS bed used By James VI, and
snother with hanglngs OF lowered
crimson velvet. said to have been
worked by Mary Stuart during her
Imprisonment in Lochleyen Castle.
The CELERY, 100 feet long, occupies
the place OF the old Coronation Hall.
where Charles II. was crowned in
1851. With the ancient Abbey cs
scone are bound up some Of the most
interesting events in Scottish history;
but today we think Of Il specially az
the shrine where was long preserved
the famous so-called stone OF Des-
tiny which forms part Of the Brit
ish coronation chair II Is this GU
riously unique treasure. chiefly. which
gives a sort OF uncanny romance TO
the chair
The really authentic history Of the
stone would not be admitted by seri-
Gus and questioning antiquaries to go
back further than the date, about SS4
A. b., when II was first found at
scone. But long persisting legend
or tradition brings It down from early
Bible times. According to this view,
Il was the yeritable pillow upon which
the patriarch Jacob rested his head
at Luz when he had his beautiful Wis
ion Of the ladder that reached to
Heaven. In this mythical account the
stone Is next traced to the possession
Of Gathelus, the son. Of Cerops. King
OF Athens. who entered into the serv-
ice OF one Of the Pharoahs. and mar
rled his daughter Scotia, from whom
Scotland is said to derive its name.
Gathelus brought it from Syria to
Egypt: and, to escape an impending
plague. he is said to have sailed from
the Nile. by the advice Of Moses. with
his wife and the precious stone. and
landed on the coast Of Spain After
wards he sent the stone to Ireland un-
der the care Of his son, who invaded
the island. and by whom It was set
up on Tara HILL There It was used as
the Irish coronation stone for many
ages
UsED IN IRELAND.
This brings us to at least the fringes
OF recorded secular history. when
facts begin to conflict less with
legend. 1t seems tolerably clear that
the stone was really used as a sort
OF royal chair in Ireland. where, we
are told. it was known as Lila Fall.
or the stone Of fate. From Ireland It

the Scots. It is said); but IL tradi-
ton Is that II WAS brought back to
Ireland BY Simon Brech leader Of a
band Of Scots, somewhere about 700
B. c. II remained undisturbed until
Fergus Nor probably descendant Of
Simon Brech. was driven out OF Ire
land in 603 B. c Fergus led the
DalrIadic Scots to the shores Of Ar
gyll, and having brought the stone
with him It was used for his corona
ticn at Dnnstaffnage. Here, as we
read It remained till about 1884 A. d..
when Kenneth Maealpine brought II
to the royal city OF scone. having
fixed on Scone as his capital. because
in the neighborhood he had just
fought and won the iHst decisive bat
tie with the ancient Picts.
All this is open 10 more or less
doubt. But the stone was at least
found at Scone. and Il gave a sort OF
royal grandeur to ScOne. and led all
the Scottish princes to repair thither
to be crowned on IT, This is actual.
sober fact. However. we may explain
the circumstance. It had acquired a
sacred character as Influencing the
destinies OF the Scottish nation One

And prophets voice be vain,
Where'er is found this ancient stors,

1t was averred by the ancient Scots
that the stone gave forth musical
sounds when the rlghtful ruler seated
himself on Il, but remained mute
when a usurper was crowned

The famous stone OF Destiny re-

Notwithstanding its removal. the
prestige OF Scone continued to be re-

Bruce and his son David. Robert H..

chose Scone for their coronations.
The Scottish people are very dis
tressed about the loss OF the stone.
They looked upon its conveyance to
England as national humiliation. and
IN the treaty concluded between Eng
land and Scotland In 1928 its return
was made an essential condition. Ed
ward III ordered that It should be
sent back. but for some unknown rea-
son his order was not obeyed.
