4 Very Pernicious Teaching.

There is one doctrine held by Chris
tan Scientists-and by many of other
dcnominations-that Is very pernicious.
very injurious, very unscriptural. This
is the teaching that God is omnipresent-
present in everything and in every place.
Nothing in the Bible so declares; and
when We attempt TO be wiser than what
is written. we surely make a mistake.
Whoever thinks of God as omnipresent
necessarily thinks of Him as impersonal:
and the more he thinks the more vague
his God becomes, until finally ne has no
God, but merely (as some Christian Sci
entists. including Mrs. Eddy. express IT.
believes in a principle of good and calls
that principle God. Such wish to be-
lieve in a supreme Creator. but by this
erroneous reasoning they mslead their
own intelligence into the denial OF a
personal God. An omnipresent God is
not a person.
The Bible recognizes a personal Cod
great Spirit -Being-and gives Him a
home, or locality. Jesus taught US to
pray. Our Father. which art in
Heaven" How different this is from
saying that God Is In everything useful
or valuable-in the soil, because 1t Is
useful for the development of fruits: In
the chair. because useful to sit upon: in
the table. because useful as a conven-
fence. Such teachings surely lead away
from sanctihcation OF heart and life and
from the faith which the Bible incul-

congress in Philadelphia July 4. 1916.

Lubbock and the Bees.

In "Anrs. Bees and Wasps" it is re.
lated that one summer some fifty years
ago Sir John Lubbock became inter
estcd in Il curious parasite of the bum
bebee. He wished to complete his in
vestigations. but as the winter came on
did not know where to get the bees,
so he advertised.
In reply to his advertisement Il man
wrote offering him a supply of bees mt
one and six apiece. The price was
high. but in the cause OF science Lllb-
book did not demur, only when lie had
bought all the bees he required he
wrote to the man and said. Now that
l have had the bees. for which am
greatly obliged. would you kindly tell
me. to satisfy MY curiosity. how you
are able to procure them ut this time
of year:' The lQan wrote back quite
courtcously, but quite firmly, saying:
NO. Since can sell the bees at eight
eenpencc each. I think it pays me bet
ter to go on doing 50 than TO tell any
body else how to procure them.'

Just a glimpse of some of the
members of the Lyceum company
whom the Philharmonic club is en-
deavoring to secure for next season.
we are certain will convince every
culture loving Ardmore citizen that
the attraction is worth while, and an

influences, will be lost should the
ladies fail to receive the proper sup
port.
First comes Nine. Evelyn Scotney
the great coloratura soprano of Bos-
ton Opera company, acknowledged by
the worlds best musical critics as a
truly remarkable singer. She sings
a half note higher than Tetrazzini
and is unquestionably the greatest
artist appearing in lyceum. With
Madame Scotney comes Howard
White. basso cantante of the Boston
Opera company, and Eric Hayne, vio-
lin virtuoso with the Boston SYM
phOny orchestra.
The Metropolitan Grand Quartet
is another attraction of highest mer-
it, composed of Messrs. Chas. L.
Meth, lyric tenor, Paul Chase, robust
tenor, John Eberly, baritone, and
Thomas Wade Lane, basso, with Mrs
Page Lane pianiste.
The Riheldaffer- Skebinsky com
pany, another number, is a rare com
bination of brilliant musical talent
composed of Madame Grace Hall
Riheldaffer one of the greatest Am
erican sopranos, Alexander Won Ske-
binsky, noted Russian violiniste and
| Harold A Loring, well known
throughout musical America.
Frederick Ward distinguished ac-
tor author and Shakespearean lee
turer, will also be presented.

dations and societies; they seem to
prove,-with their jealousies and
wire pulling and riyalries and climb
ing and superficial reading and writ
ing of papers,-that women have not
the social spirit. But whenever a
body of women attacks a practical
problem together, | notice that 1t
somehow gets itself done!
The most significant work of the
next decade is going TO be done, not
by individuals, and not by women
alone, nor by men alone, but by men
and women who have learned to
work together.
But the work most needed cannot
be found unless woman looks for 1t
through woman's eyes and not
through just as good as mans eyes.

between men and women, not com

which is the spirit of the day and
the spirit OF America And the CO.
