AN INSPIRING ADDRESS.
Appreciative Audience Gathers in
First Baptist Church TO Hear
Rev. DR.. helms.

Il is the consensus of opinion among
III Alexandrians who were in the
First Baptist Church last night that
t was good for them to have been
here. Rev Dr.. J. Henning helms, rec
or of the Church. of the Ascension
Washington, delivered an address,
his subject being "The Bible-Today" =
The meeting was under the aus
,ices of the secondary division of the
sunday School Association OF Alex
,ndria, Miss Helen Cummins superln-
endent. The audience was composed
IF both young and old, and all receiV-
s, meat in due season.
Rev. Dr.. W. F. Watson, Pastor OF
he church. presided. Rev. John Lee
Nilsson. pastor of the Second Presby-
erian Church, read the scripture and
tFered the opening prayer, after
rhich Rev. W. j. Morton, rector OF
'hrist Church in a few appropriate
emarks introduced Rev. DR.. Ne!ms.
Dr. helms handled his subject for
,ore than an hour in a scholarly man.
;cr, during which time he brought
|: lit many facts in so clear a manner
s.to enthuse his audience, every meni-
er of which eagerly; drank in his
lords The speaker made the book
f hooks intensely interesting from
he start to finish, furnishing W
ANY parts of the sacred history Iii
manner which appealed to every
ne present.
DR. Nelms threw out many instfuc-
i've and useful hints during the time
spoke and left his hearers with
:ome important truths to ponder
over Practical queries which
perhaps had never been thought Of
" the majority of his hearers
brought to mind interesting facts OIL
EN- lost even by Bible students, FOR
Instance, "How many generations arr
ie apart from Adam?' Answer
One hundred and nineteen only" This
brings us nearer To- the Bible pellod
han we generally suppose.
The speaker gave proof of the Mt
ing of present day science with Bib
zeal facts. One Of his examples was
he proportions Of Noah's ark. lie
showed that the figures given in the
Bible were practically those which
would be followed in building war
ship in our day.
DR.. helms advised his hearers TO
read the Bible with glad hearts m
stead of sad hearts. and challenged
any one to find in the book pas
sage, if correctly interpreted. which
meant punishment. The Bible. ne
said was humane and always spoke
Of benefits and the many things
lone for our sailes. The speaker
also referred to the wit and romance
contained in the pages of the Bible.
citing the romance OF Rebekah' a
maiden very fair and Isaac. VINO
when he met her brought her to the
protection of his mothers tent. HIS
example of wit was drawn from the
aumble arguing of Abraham with
our Lcrd concerning the number of
righteous men to be found in So
dom--from fifty to ten--and how the
Lord lest Abraham be tempted to
speak again after declaring that ten
would be his last argument, wisely
and generously turned away.
