book Is so well attested as the Bible.
Scholars have examined its every let-

This fact is more clearly proven than
that William Shakespeare wrote the
plays which bear his name. Let MS
ask ourselves if we value the price,

writings and waiting to be unfolded
to us by the Author. the Holy Spirit,

neglect these things is to prove our
blindness and unwillingness to be ds-

In fact returning men are hav-

they do not show it.
If the senator knows of
shortcomings by the depart

them out. 1t is the surest way
to secure reform. On the other
hand if he takes an extreme
case on which to base a general
criticism he is unfair and will
