Christianity Not to Be Blamed for Eu- ropesn War. Says Rev. F. ]. 5oha- nan.

 Rev. MT. Bohanan said that if ever there was need of prayer for peace. Many are asking if Christianity is not failure if through all the past cen- tur1es 1t has not prevented such a war as the present European struggle put; said the speaker. has Christianity really been applied to the nations of the world during the past twenty cen tur1es as it should have been? Rev. MT. Bohanan spoke of the conditions In Europe and of the causes of the conflict that has plunged the nations Tn Ddoooshed. Among other things he said that the outbreak of the war does not prove that Christianity is a fall ure because Christianity has not been tried out properly. He said he be- lieved that universal peace would be a result of the war and that it would be brought about through justice and brotherhood

THE USE AND ABUSE
 OF THE BIBLE. Rev. F. w. Coleman Delivers In- structive Sermon at Methodist Church.

The Use and Abuse of the Bible was the subject of a strong sermon delivered at Trinity M. E. church by the pastor, Rev. F. W. Coleman, on Sunday evening before a good sizeT congregation. Rev. MT. Coleman pre-
 faced his sermon by saying that tner
 were perhaps many in the congrega-
 ton who would ask the question,
 How is it possible for such good thing
 as the Bible to be abused? He said
 in answer that there is hardly a good
 thing in existence that is not abused
 The book of Daniel is especially r- able to abuse as is the book of Rev elations. One of the reasons why there are so many religions is that the Bible has been used in g. way that it was never intended to be used. Another point that Rev. Mr.. Coleman brought out was that the Bible. in the past, has been used too much as book of imagination
 One of the ways of abusing the
 Bible and a very common way,"L said the speaker, lis not to use it at all. Another way of abuse is by neglectfng the means which God has given us Tor its interpretation. We should use all the helps at hand to rightly read and understand the BibIe.'
 Alter dwelling at length upon the ways the Bible is abused Rev. MT. Coleman then spoke of different ways Tn which the Bible may be rightly used. David" he said, Gives us four ways in which the Bible may be used
 The first is to use the word of God as means of meditation By this is mean that the word of God is some thing not to be read lightly and then dismissed but is something to dwell upon and turn over in our minds. If you use the Bible to mediate upon you will draw forth things you did, mt know were there.
 Then again we read that David used the word of God as a. light How can we know the way if it is dark and there is no light. If you want light use the word of God. It will advise you: It will direct you. In the 9th verse of the 18th psalm the word is spoken of as a cleansing power for David says there. "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed tEereunto according to the word. D We shall never sink very deep in sin 1T we keep in contact with the cleans ing power Of the word of God.
 Lastly David speaks of the strength enlng power of the word of God. Sometimes we hear the complaint that we do not have the same kind of peo. pie in the church that we used to have. The men of the former genera a- ton were men of great faith, men of prayer and correspondingly men of strong personality. This all came rom using the word of God as the PsaIm1st used it. If we would deepen ana strengthen our lives let us learn to use the word of God as a strength ening power
 Hymn and the benedictiou brought the serYlce to a close.
