Liked bible GUY"
MAN WHO CARRIED THE WORD
POPULAR WITH SOLDIERS.
Boys In Blue Stationed Along the Rio
Grande Unanimously Of Opinion
That Visitor Was Strictly
All Right.

1t was pretty close to taps when a
small car puffed up to the little border
station on the Rio Grande, satisfied the
sentry and came inside the earthworks
fertilization. Its driver, a tall, ruddy-
checked young man, who looked as
though he might ber fresh out Of col
lege, brought the mail-he'd succeeded
in crossing swollen creek In his car
when the Mexican mail man didn't
care to try it, and he brought also
carload of Bibles.
The soldiers In the border station
called him "the Bible guy" and the
opinion was expressed more than once
that "the Bible guy was all right"
There are a number of him on the
Mexican border. They are representa-
tives of the American Bible society,
and their business is giving away
Bibles and Testaments to the soldiers
who are doing border patrol duty. This
particular one had come east from El
Paso, matter of 450 miles, and did
not expect to stop until he reached the
Gulf. He found considerable demand
for his little olive-drab-bound Testa-
mentS and Bibles, as well as real
friendliness for himself.
He was modest young man, but he
admitted that good many interesting
things happened to a fellow who car
ried the Word along the border. Some
times one miscalculated or found the
roads worse than he expected and had
to camp out Overnight-he carried
few provisions and skillet always to
be prepared for that emergency. And,
of course, one did have to know how
to pull an automobile out of mud
hole by one-man power and quite
lot more outdoor things.
do the Mexicans ever bother your"
someone asked him.
The Bible guy laughed as though
that were the best joke in the world.
"No, indeed" he said. "Why should
they bother me? Besides, you know,
I'm prepared for Mexicans as well as
soldiers. I carry copies of the Bible in
Spanish and find a lot of people who
are glad to get them. And now-if
you'll excuse me-Tve got a lot to do
to this car"
Whereupon the Bible guy, clad in
brown 0veralls, disappeared under the
mud-crusted machine. It shows how
good Christian he really is that in
the half-hour he stayed there nobody
heard him swear-Kansas City Star.
