God, to preach the Bible and endeayOr
TO get beneath the fallen and help
place them upon higher plane. Dr.
Bulgin said that the press of the state
had been very unfair to him in the
past, in as much as it had often M S.
quoted him and misconstrued his mo-

but for all that he had endeavored
to be fair and just TO all
Last night his sermon was on "The
Bible, the Inspire Word of God, or
Why he Believed in the Bible" He
took his text from Samuel 23:10 "And
his hand clave unto the sword" and
for one hour and forty-fye minutes
preached such sermon on the Di-
vine inspiration of the bible as was
never heard in tbs city before. DR..
Bulgin is far from being 'he comedian

he has all the attributes of the polish

uses anecdotes to point a moral or

a high order told with inimitable wit

was as follows:

Have YOU ever stopped to think
If the enormity of the task the inidel
Undertakes when he and his fellow
skeptics say they will destroy the
Bible? In the first place they would

boundaries of the world and buy up
iXty million Bibles at approximately
