Bible In College Course.
Russell Paynter. representing the
Arts and Science Department spoke
on "The Bible in the College Curri-
culum." He said In part:
In this age when everything is
tending toward democracy anc when
Il has become popular TO recognize
no authority beyond ones own will.
some people have begun to object Sc
iiously regarding the Bible as a Book
OF Divine authority And because this
Book is rigid in its demands. saying
10 man, Thou shalt and Thou shalt
not, they have instigated a scheme of
destructive criticism, ostensibly for
the purpose of correcting what they
conceive to be the literal descrepan-
cies of the Bible. but really with a
view to tearing Il into shreds. in or
der that they may give vent to their
unbridled license.
IF the Bible is TO be preserved and
men are to be saved from their folly,
we must look to college students to
inculcate into the minds of the rlasses
the absolute necessity for adhering
TO the Bible But IL college students
} arc to uphold the Bible, they should
have the privilege, while at college
of taking course in Bible study.
There are two reasons why tho
Bible should be studied by the college
= student The first of these reasons is
. that il is necessary 10 the intellectual
life Of the student. II is the greatest
e Book in all literature and is a source
of inspiration for many Of the great

the history of Europe. Famed in an.

tho pine woods on the SUBMITS Of its
historic mountain, It Is largely bare and
treeless. From Egypt came monarchs
to find timber for their fleets. and from
Athens and Rome men to work its rich
eopper mines. The Apostle Paul Wis.
tied Cyprus in his FIRST great mission
arv tourney, and Mark went there later
with Barnabas.
At the division Of the Roman empire
Cyprus went to the Byzantine emper.
ors. In the twelfth century England
took the island and sold It to the
Knights Templars, who IN turn sold it
To the king Of Jerusalem. In 1870 the
Turks sent 10000 men against Cyprus.
Nicosia, its capital. was taken after a
forty-nve day siege, and 10000 people
were put to the sword. In 1873 Eng.
land and Turkey entered into IN agree
ment whereby Turkey retained sover-
eighty over the island. while England
took charge Of its administration.

WINDS THAT WHISTLE.
The Sounds Come Only When the Air
Waves Meet Resistance.

The Sounds Come Only When the Air
Waves Meet Resistance.
Did you ever notice that although
you may feel the force Of the wind
when you are out in It. you do not hear
It whistle unless you are close to u
building? This is because the sound is
produced according t" the same prin
ciples as apply to the production Of the
tones Of q pipe organ OF any lnstru
ment on which the tones are produced
by blowing.
In order to make the whistline
sounds we hear from the wind it is
necessary for 1t to blow against some.
thing. That is why we hear It when We
are in the house or some other building.
The whistling is caused by the wind
blowing past the sharp edge of some
obstacle in its path or finding its way
through small openings Offering some
sharp edged resistance.
II you blow through u long tube or
pipe you will produce no sound. but II
there is an opening with a sharp edge
lear the end where you blow the blow
ing will cause a distinct sound. 1t is on
this principle that all small whistles.
organ pipes and wind instruments Of
N orchestra are made.
Another way in which the wind pro
duces sounds is by blowing against OBJ
jects which vibrate. A curious in.
stance of this is the humming volume
Of sound produced by the wind blow
ing through a group Of telegraph wires
and which may be noted. ever when
there Is not a great force Of wind. by

The object Of the rifeman IL not to
kill an enemy. but to wound him. "A
dead man Is simply one soldier lost
from his army. He Is not q burden to
any one. A wounded soldier must be
taken care of. Four wounded soldiers
must have an ambulance with two
horses and an ablebodied soldier driver
Thirty wounded soldiers must have
a surgeon. a hospital steward and ten
or q dozen able bodied soldiers to aid
the doctor and wait upon and nurse the
wounded men. The ambulances block
the roads and delay the troops. espe.

ed there will be three or four soldiers
who are willing and anxious to carry

For every soldier wounded the firing
line loses four soldiers, and a hundred
men wounded means that 400 men are
lost to the firing line, for they never re
join their regiments until the battle Is
