To-day there IL stli prejudice in the
minds OF some people who really do not
understand the existing conditions OF the

who feel that farmers who buy automo-

II have even heard some III informed
men state that they are real menace

Bible NOT A BOOK,
BUT A WHOLE LIBRARY
DR.. Morgan Says 1t Took 500 Years
to Write Old and New

CAN BE READ In SIXTY HOURS

The midwinter Bible conference of
Washington will end today with services
in Polls Theater, at which Rev. DIR. G.
Campbell Morgan, the great English ex-
positor. will be the principal speaker.
Tickets will be required for admission
until 3:15 O'Clock, and then the doors viii
be open to the general public without
charge.
DIR. Morgan spoke yesterday in the
First Congregational Church, and in the
Church of the Epiphany, while 5. ID. Cor
don. Y. NJ. c. A worker. spoke at the aft
ernoon session. in the First Congrega-
tional Church.
DIR. Morgan disapproved the phrase.
''the Good Book" for the Bible, saying
that il is not a book, but whole library.
consisting OF sixty-siX books written by
at least forty persons in three languages.
and extending over period OF l.5oo
years.
The best way to read the Bible, DIR.
Morgan said. is to start with the four
gospels. then read the Acts, then the
rest of the New Testament excepting
Revelations. then the Old Testament
from beginning TO end and then Reeve
lations. Read IL this way once" he
said, and then again and yet again.
At the ordinary pulpit rate one reading
requires about sixty hours, or an hour
a day for two months. Give these ex-
cellent volumes of fiction a rest for n
while. my young friends. and give the
Bible a chance-though l do not decry
good felton,
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson listened to the

tional Church. The audience rose and
remained standing while she was leav-
ing the edifice.
