epoch they were altered somewhat
SO the narrative is proven to 60
back several centuries beyond the
time of Moses unto the very period
usually assigned for Abraham. Such
an evidently undersigned testimony
to the truthfulness of the record has
immense weight that would be rec
ognlzed as first-class in the courts of
our day.
The history of Joseph in Egypt
also contain certain unique features
which prove it's truthfulness. There,
Just as would naturally be expected,
many words of Egyptian, the mean
ing Of some of which is somewhat in
doubt. AS the most characteristic
portion of the story itself we have
it embodied in an Egyptian tale, en-
titled, THE Tale of the Two Broth
ers. This is doubtless the episode
of Joseph and Potiphars wife in
Egyptian form. The fellah Bata
takes the place of Joseph and his
slster-in-laW, the part of Potiphar's
wife. 1t is also very possible that a
memorial of the famine of Joseph
mas been discovered by Brugsch in
one of the tombs of El-kab Here
words are put into the lips of a dead
man, certain Bahia saying, when
a famine arose, lasting many years,
issued out corn to the city. -"
We know there have been droughts
in Egypt lasting for several years
due to the fact that the Nile flood
did not come, and, at least, one Of
the famines lasted exactly seven
years.
The glimpse of Egyptian life as
given in the history of Joseph is in
minute harmony with the glimpse
archaeologists have given. The titles
OF royal cupbearer and the chief of
the bakers have been discovered in
the lists of Egyptian officials; the
Pharaoh's kitchen was magnificent
one; the Egyptians were noted for
their skill in confectionery and in
making various kinds of bread. On
the monuments is depicted the cup
bearer offering the goblet of wine
and the baker carrying on his head
the basket filled with fine round
white loaves." The birthday OF
the Pharaoh was a general festival
on which an amnesty was proclaimed
and worthy prisoners were released
The dreams Of the Pharaoh\ was in
strict accord with Egyptian mythol-
ogy and symbolism and in full har-
mcny with the general belief in re-
gard to dreams. The east wind
blasting the ears of corn, the collar
of gold around the neck of the royal
favorite, the manner of doing obeis-
ance to one honored and exalted OF
the Pharaoh; these, and many other
things, prove the writer of the his
tory of Joseph was we'll acquainted
with Egyptian life and manners
language and soil. And we know that
from the time of the eighteenth
dynasty On We hear repeatedly OF
public granaries under government
control. The origin Of these royal
granaries is explained by the history
4 of Joseph and is the most feasible
explanation that Psychologists can

Conan DOylc's New Story.

Something new in rOmance-sO alb
solutely original that it will thrill
the most hardened novel reader!
Such is Conan Doyle's The Lost
World.'
Did you know that in the unex-
plored wilderness between the Andes
and the Amazon there still exists
many of the monster animals that
walked the earth before man was
created? 1t has remained for Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle-and the irras-
chile Professor Challenger-to dis
cover this lost world and take you
right into it, How does it feel to be
chased by dinosaur as big as
house, or attacked by a pterOdactyl
as large as a biplane? You will
know before you finish this fascinat-
ing story, for the author makes you
see and believe. At the same time
you will learn more about the prehis-
toric world than dozen scientific
treatises could tell you, for the story
makes you live in it.
The action is leisurely at first.
Don't let that deceive you. Chal-
lenger is terrific and captivating
hero, and when he gets away on his
expedition look out for danger I'M
equaled in modern romance. The
story is told with the imagination of
Kipling or Jules Verne and the mas
terly skill of the creator of Sherlock
Holmes.

clusively in the Sunday Magazine of

give of their sudden appearance anc
prominence in the life Of the nation
Thus we see that as the Bible mar
rative touches other civilizations
contemporaneous with it's own, its
truthfulness as to facts, situations
conditions, and circumstances, is
sustained in every particular. AS
the brilliant result of scientific re-
search the Bible must be given it's
full free value while Of the great
critical theories proposing to take
the Bible very much less than at
face value, as for instance, the illit-
eracy of the early Semetic peoples
of which the Hebrews were part,
the barbarity of early Palestine, the
patriarchs, not individuals, but per-
sonilica;iOns, the naturalistic origin
of the religion Of Israel, the impos-
sibilty of Moses being such law
giver as represented, and the late
authorship Of the Pentateuch and
many others, there is no support for
these hostile theories in the we'll
assured scientific results. The testi-
mony of these results is with unan-
imous voice to the truthfulness OF
the Scriptures and to their full face
value The eighty theories assigned
at the beginning of the last century
by the French Institute against the
the Bible have been recalled every
one of them.
From the standpoint of mere ro-
nance alone there is more of it con-
tanned in the origin and history of
the Bible than is connected with
every other book in the world COM
bined; from the standpoint of its
worth to the work of the antiquar-
ian it has value which cannot be
over-estimated; from the standpoint
of literature it has never been equal
ed, much less excelled; from the
standpoint Of philosophy it goes
deeper into the nature of things than
all other PHILOSOPHERS. But it was
not for purposes of history, litera-
ture, or philosophy the Bible was
given, though when it has touched
upon either sphere it has left IRE.

bic such points, there has not been a
single statement proven false, while
on the contrary the overwhelming
majority of them, have been proven

What shall we say to these things?
Since the Bible speaks of record
extending perhaps over a period OF
at least five thousand years, and it
has not been convicted of single
falsehood but, on the contrary, has
spoken the unvarnished truth are

CHILDREN OF THIS
NATION NEGLECTED
Child Life Not Protected or
Conserved, Hygiene Con-
gress Is Informed.
fNational News Association)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-"In
America, with characteristic disregard
of our natural resources, we have not
protected and conserved our child
life," was the declaration Of Miss
Clara d. Noyes, general superintend-
ent OF training schools of Bellevue hos
pita1, New York City. in an address
here today before the International
Congress of Hygiene and Demography.
1--WE have not recognized the mid
wife," continued Miss Noyes, "as a
necessary part of our social structure.
Attempts have been made from time
to time to eliminate her, always I'M
successfully however. We have closed
our eyes and let her alone. without
means of education and without ade-
quate laws for control and supervis-
ion"
I'm the United States in 1910 there
were 154,375 babies who died before
they were one year old.
I'm facing this appalling early
slaughter of the innocent" said Miss
Noyes, I'VE cannot ignore a single o n
tributing factor. The conclusion of the
whole matter seems to lie in intelli-
gent motherhood, since this is the
case and we are aware that fifty per
cent Of all the births are attended by a
class of untaught and unframed wom-
en-. who as a rule, are densely ignorant
and unspeakably dirty, we are neg
lecting at the fountain head the health
and possible wealth of our nation. The
midwife. for whom no opportunity for
education has been provided, cannot
be expected to teach to mothers that
which she herself has never been
taught"
A Great C~areIessness.
DIR. s. w. Newmayer, head of the
division of Child Hygiene, Bureau of
Health, Philadelphia, addressed the
congress on the same theme and again
called the attention of his hearers to
the great number of births that are at
tended by either ignorant mid-wives or
students. DR.. Newmayer asserted that
only about fifty per cent of the births
Of this country are attended by reputa-
BILE physicians.
In his address on Physical Eff

gress. Children formerly learned by
aiding their parents, now they learn
by going to school. They now use
chiefly the highly specialized muscles
used in speaking, writing and close
vision, rather than the large muscles
OF the trunk and legs. The school &C

activities related to health and have
increased those which tend towards
disease. DR.. McCurdy showed the ne
