New York, Feb. 7.-Do you sing
''The Holy City2" Yes? Well, how
do you chant the word Jerusalem 2"
is it "Jer-u-sa-lem"o "Je-ru-se-lum."
And If so, why? OF course you may

you a corrective letter.
DR.. Cragg says Miss Gladys Dean
so pronounced the word at an enter

Subject: "The Call OF Abram."
Gen. XII:1-9.
Golden Text: 81 will bless thee and
make thy name great, and be thou a
blessing" Gen. XII:2.
1. Verse How had Abram
learned to know the voice Of God?
2. What reason is there to suppose
that every man has the potential
power to hear and understand the
voice Of God?
3. Where was Abram residing at
this time?
4. When a godly man leaves the
old country to reside in this country
with the conviction that it is the will
Of God, why is not God speaking to
him precisely as he spake to Abram?
5. When honeybees swarm why
would it not be right to say that God
causes them to do SO?
6. Verse 2-How has Gods prom
ise to Abram that he would make Of
him a great nation been fulfilled?
7. In how many important respects
have Abram and his descendants been
a blessing to the world? .4a ..
g., Verse 3-What nations in the
past have prosecuted the Jews, and
what punishment has God inflicted
upon them as result? .,...N 8.
9. Has the promise, "In thee shall
all families of the earth be blessed, ;"
been fulfilled, and If so, how?
10. Verse 4-If Abram had been
in doubt about obeying God and had
delayed his departure, what probably
would have been the result? ... q,
II. At what age Is a man too old
to start for a new country or take up
a new enterprise to better his condi-

we TO BIO anxious to share with 9TH

which may be answered in writing by

should have an atmosphere OF rever-
ence. Yours very sincerely,
"Charles e. Cragg."

When she received the letter there
was nothing for Miss Dean to dc but
cry. She did it copiously. Then she
became dncensed and showed the
chiding missive to several friends.
They in turn told o'hers, and it was
not long before score of persons
knew the letter by heart. The cleri-
cal reproof aroused indignation
which may cause trouble in the
church, as Miss Dean has many cham
pions. They say her singing OF "The
Holy City" could not have been i'm
proved upon, and If she chanted
"Jer-u-see-lum," why, it follows that
is the only way to sing 1t.
