TELLS WHY
BIBLE Is
BELIEVED

A splendid audience greeted Evan
gelist Marshall at the Christian church
last night The whole church is deep
ly in earnest and is entering upon the
work in hand with enthusiasm. The
pleasant and hearty greetings, the new
and happy acquaintances and the real,
genuine fellowship in the fore and
after-meetings afford a most delight
full feature.
"Why We Believe the Bible" was
the subject of the discourse. This
book is here" said the preacher, and
is increasing in the number of volumes
each year. In 1912 twelve million
copies we're sold.
Robert Owen said In twenty-five
years the Bible will be obsolete He
died in 1859. Seventy-five years after
he made the statement the book is
published as no other book. One must
believe the Bible because it lives and
grows.
''Who is its author? 1t must come
from men, angels or God. The Bible
claims for itself to be the Word of
God. No set of good men could write
it and lie about its authorship. Good
men will tell the truth. Bad men
would not write it, because the bad
are condemned on it's every page. II
could not come from angels for the
same reason. SO it must come from
God. The unity and purpose of the
book declare its divinity It's harmon.

REQUIRED
Resolutions Adopted by United
Charities and Statement Of Facts
is Submitted Setting Forth
Methods Of Work

At the last meeting of the United
Charities the following resolutions
were adopted, and in explanation OF
same the beard of directors presents
these facts:
From October i 1913, to October l.,
1914, the county commissioners allow
ed the United Charities $500 with
which to care for the poor of the city.
During this time III families were
given assistance, consisting of grocer
les, drugs, medical attention, nursing,
clothing, railroad tickets to points
where they were assured Of work or a
home.
In these 141 families were 445 indi-
viduals, which shows that during the
past year one person was helped every
day, with 80 to spare, and that each
individual was given an average of
$4.O4 worth of aid
Now 10 of these 141 families, consist
ing of 15S individuals, were transients,
people who had not been in the city
more than one week when they called
for assistance, and if these 1873 persons
had not been helped our own poor, the
widows and orphans whom we have al
ways with us, would have each receiv-
ed $6.27 worth of help, ~hen as it was,
they were given only S4.04 worth, each.
Also within the past few months
the United Charities have Joined the
National Paupers Transportation
Agreement association, which binds all
charity associations, to refuse to pass
their poor along to other cities with
fout first getting in communication with
the charity organization OF that city
which will make inquiries concerning
the people to whom the aid seeker
wishes to go, thereby finding out
whether a home or employment viii
be furnished on their arrival. If the
agreement is violated and individuals
sent to other towns without exhaust
ing every source of inquiry, the case
is Immediately shipped back to the
association which supplied transpofta
ton.
Giving money, food, clothes and ma
terial aid, is not charity; it is liberal
ity, but teaching people to be clear
and self respecting, and to learn T
help themselves, is charity.
The resolutions adopted were as fol
lows:
Be it resolved.
| /. That only those who have live
| in Chiekasha six months will receiv
assistance from the United Charities.
| 2. No family in which there is a
adult capable of earning living, nee
apply for aid.
3. We urge the public to make thei
contributions to the poor and unfortl
nate through the United Charities, VIII
will thoroughly investigate each cas-
reported. we realize that indiscrin
mate giving Of the churches and othe
organizations, as well as individual
