wares
Last fall I was sent over here by
General Funston TO command the
First Delaware Infantry, which had
been organized into a provisional
regiment. Their uprightness, zeal and
attention TO duty all have been such
that we see the regiment leave the
border With genuine regret. l am a
plain soldier man, to whom all comes
In a days work, but l cannot refrain
from saying that yOur soldiers have

reason to be Justly proud OF them.

cans It's a Book to
Live by
SAYS SCRIPTURE HAS
CONQUERED WORLD

That the Bible is a book OF real
value is the opinion Of practical men
everywhere, the Rev. Herbert f. RAN
dolph declared In his sermon at
Grace NJ. r. Church last evening.
Answers to questions sent TO a large
number Of people. while varying
greatly. nevertheless favor the Book
above all others
The questions we're sent out a few
weeks ago to the leading business and
professional men of this city, the chief
question being do you consider the
Bible a useful book for young man
TO read7"
There has been a wide divergence
d opinion expressed I'm the answers,
Or. Randolph said, "but from the pres
idont OF college have received some
very significant suggestions. In pre-
senting this topic / have in mind all
Of the replies that have received and
The great latitude embraced in the
opinions expressed.
MANY OF my correspondents have
writtened that they considered the
Bible the greatest book In literature.
some have referred to It for its ethical
value; others for the moral signih-
canoe contained in It's writings. still
others for the spiritual revelations OF
Sod TO the race"
The minister went on to give a brief
history Of the Bible. How 1t was COM
posed of sixty-six books. written by
forty authors during a period of 1000
years. That throughout its entirety
there was a harmonious blending OF
great truths that indicated that In all
the writing the books although varied
opinions were expressed. yet there
must have been one guiding hand di-
recting the dominating thought OF all
the authors
''rhere is something divine In every
good book" DR.. Randolph continued. y
am often questioned about the Bible as
TO its weaknesses rs TO many things
that appeared contrary 10 what is good
and right. Before / could answer these
questions however, l should have 70 de-
vote many Sunday evenings In order to
give q proper analysis. Whenever / hear
It said that the Bible is a book Of In.
spiration / always hesitate. would
rather call Il God-breathed book. That
tells the story better"
In referring to the power Of the Bible
as compared with other great works In
literature DR.. Randolph said;
eco 10 the islands that are supposed
TO be inhabited with cannibals and otho
lawless people. Take to them th
works Of that illustrious man Shakes
peare. Do you suppose his writing
would have hadsthe effect that the Bihl
has hadi We all know Of the thou
sands. even whole nations that hav
been converted and their entire exist
enoe changed by reading and hearing Oh
truths eNpounded in this Bible
He Illustrated the fact that the bes
way to kill the Bible was 10 leave 4
alone. That II was q book made 4
be used daily.
TITS a book 10 live by: 20 fight n
the strength with. The best way e
compare this strength is 10 measure
II with the victories Il has accom-
plished Measure its strength with
the men who have tried 10 kill IT,"
The sermon was the fifth OF series
DR.. Randolph is delivering upon
topics that have been in dispute from
the beginning Of the Christian era.

Taking Steps to Retain
Military Company In Salem

A conference was held today noon at
the Marion hotel between the Officers
of the National Guard of Salem and
citizens interested in military affairs
and the maintenance of military COM
pany in the city.
The purpose of the conference was
10 determine what action should be
taken in order to arouse a patriotic
spirit among the citizens whereby
enough enlistments ir Company NJ
could be secured to keep the war de-
partment from assigning the company
to another city.
After a presentation of the condition
of Company Nj nd of what would be
required to keep ii here, it was the un-
animous opinion that Salem could not
afford for reasons of patriotic and
civic pride, to lose its military organ
ization. 1t was also the opinion that
the public should stand by and make
every effort TO bring Company NJ to
the strength required by the war de-
partment.
To devise ways and means of inter.
esting the public in its national guard
organization, committee was APP
pointed consisting of Thos. B. Kay,
chairman; w. /. Staley, Ivan G. Me
Daniels, Theodore Roth and the Rev
James Elvin.
The sentiment was that since com
pany NJ was the first in the country to
respond to the call to the Mexican
hordel, that it would be a reflection
on Salem, the capital city, to show to
the world, there was not patriotism
enough here to support one company.
Those present at the luncheon were
j. H. Albert, Ivan G. MeDaniels, w.
Staley, Thos. B. Kay, Chauncey Bishop
Curtis B. Cross, N. D. Elliott, F. G,
Deckebach, Theo. Roth, Major Carl

any submarines.
A tumultuous voyage was reported. a
