CuSSed First Time by

The Bible is sacred 90 MS not be-
cause IL has been given by God but
because Of the ideals therein con-
tanned" will be one OF the striking
conclusions drawn by Rabbi Julius
Liebert In his talk at the Round
Table meeting 20 be held at the oil
yer hotel next Wednesday night.
The rabbi. who has chosen his own
subject. has decided TO speak on
when and by Whom was the BIZ
bic Written ."
10 is the contention Of the rabbi
ths, II IL the intrinsic and not the
extrinsic worth in the Bible that
makes IL the valuable book that il
is one OF his principal points will
consist in drawing this conclusion
inevitably from the testimony Of
the book itself. lie Will also treat
of the various strata in the com
pilation Of the Bible
owing 10 the fact that there is
10 history Of the Bible" Rabbi Lie
bert declared. the substance of my
talk Will be drawn entirely from in
ternal evidence OF the writings con-
tanned i'm the Bible" Not an un-
interesting part OF the lecture Will
DO the intimate study of the various
doctrines expounded by the book
@nd the chronological order in
which they are given showing that
the Bible Is the record of the re-
ligiOus evolution of a people. Many
or the things given there, il Will be
shown, are OutgrOwn and are no
longer binding in this later stage Of
evolution.
This will be the first time that
the Round Table has listened 20 a
lecture ON any subject OF "a relig-
iOus nature or allied in any way
with religion. and much interest is
being shown by the mem bers
Though Rabbi Liebert has been in
the city but "A short time he has al
ready earned a reputation as "a
broadminded cleric and as a force
ful and intensely interested and in
teresting speaker.

MAY FORM BASE
HOSPITAL CORPS
Local Physicians and Nurses
Interested in Establishment
of Red Cross Branch.

Formation OF a Red Cross hospi-
tai base corps in South Bend TO be
composed of physicians and citizens
ready for whatever service may be
demanded OF them by the govern
ment in time Of war probably Will
be started soor upon the receipt OF
! advices from the surgeon general
Of the Red Cross forces Of the
United states by DR.. w. II. Baker.
The corps will be under the su-
pervision of the Red Cross depart
ment and will be composed OF ply
sicians and laymen, not necessarily
connected with any branch of the
Red Cross work, who are anxious TO
do something for their country in
time OF need.
DR.. Baker. who is one OF the en-
thusiastic boosters of the proposed
corps. has the backing OF nearly
every physician in town ami be-
lives that there would be little trou-
bic in securing an enrolment Of
enough citizens TO swell the total
TO $50.
No actual war service probably
would fall 10 the lot of the local
organization but if hostilities should
break out it would be the duty of
the corps to render whatever assist
ance il could 10 the Red Cross de-
partment by the making of band
ages and the sewing of any other
conveniences that might be needed.
The physicians probably would be
called upon for hospital work.
May Form Chapter.
The formation of a Red Cross
chapter may also be attempted in
the near future. This chapter
would have practically the same
work to do as the hospital corps
but probably would he composed
only of citizens There is an eX-
cellent foundation for the chapter
I'm the classes in red cross work
which are being conducted at the
Y. w. c. A.
Miss Gertrude Myers, secretary of
the Y. w. c. A, has written to the
Y. W. c. \. of Providence. r. L..
the headquarters of the Red Cross
chapter of that city, for infOrma-
ton regarding the steps necessary
TO the establishment and organiZa-
ton OF such a branch here.
Miss Olive Bailey a member Of
the state Red Cross committee. and
chairman of the local committee Of
Red Cross nurses, says that the es-
adjustment of such a branch or
chapter here would be of great
benefit in times of need
The nucleus of such a chapter,
according TO Miss Bailey, is i'm the
classes now being conducted by the
Y. w. &. A. When the course of
10 lessons is finished an eNamina-
ton is given and anyone passing the
examination with a grade of 90 IS
registered as a Red Cross aide.
These aides would. if called upon,
probably be assigned work in hospi-
tails which would tighten the work
of the trained nurses. The MEM
bers of these classes can not be-
come Red Cross nurses until they
have taken course of training in
a hospital.

new scale of rates. ~,
B. J. Cramer of Chicago, head
counsel of the company, appeared for
the company and City Attorney
Brown looked after Bemfdjis inter-
ests. The Chicago attorney argued
that the minimum charge" was not
a raise in rates of electricity and

stantiate his contentious.
City Attorney Brown contended
that the Minnesota Electric Light C.
Power company had a. franchise in
Bemidji which was a contract and
the company should be made to live
up to it. 80. ~
