The MAKING OF THE BIBLE.
The Bible is the record of the divine
education of the race" Slowly thru the
centuries lessons were learned, truths
were mastered and men wrote what had
been experienced of Coils tutelage
There was nothing mechanical in the
making of this Book so that every let
ter and word are just as God spoke
them into expression. Jehovah dealt
with race of rare spiritual sensitive
ness able to sense the spirit behind the
seen event and to transcribe the vision
or Interpretation. But there was no
compulsion of language. Each spoke
the familiar speech and used the imag-
cry that was part of his intellectual
WOIiu. ClkuIcS Una we hIlOW were DOL
used because camel trains had not been
replaced by steam engines or motor
trucks. There is world of difference
between the style of Isaiah and Ezekiel,
between Mark and James. There are
rhapsodic strains OF devotion and there
are prosaic lines of narrative. Kipling s
picture of the future was true already
of their writing when he says:
"And no one shall work for money and
no one shall work for fame;
But each for the JOY of the working,
and each in his separate star,
Shall draw the thing as he sees it for
the God of Things as They are. F."
Each told the truth he saw in his world
but the truth Jesus saw was far bigger
a truth than that which Joshua or Amos
knew and slowly thru the centuries
their conceptions grew into the ever

larger one that a fuller experience of
God s relationship and education brought
Then their writings were gathered up
as the worthy literature that recorded
the nations past and aspiration for the
future and we can only judge what
must have been the amount of writing
by this that has come down to US for
certainly this is but the winnowings
from larger store. Shakespeare is
not the only author of his day tho he is
better known; his work is shrined in
every tongue because 1t has been found
better than the rest. Nor was the He
brew the only race interested in these
great themes; the books of Babylon are
open to US now, the sacred books of
Arabia and India and China can be read
in our own tongue, but there is an ever
growing conviction that out of all this
world treasure that which we call the
Bible holds more of the truth of God
than any other. Once more the win

literature of all the earth one revela-
ton as supreme. And we come to put
its old words into new tongues there is
an ever increasing number of frag-
ments of parchments preserved by the
sands of dim centuries that are testify
ing to the essential truth of the text
we use.
THE MARKS OF THE BIBLE.
This old Psalm lists some of the eff
fects that this Book has upon the per-
son who reads it and follows it. The
weak are invigorated, the open minded
gain wisdom; joy and enlightenment
are in its train. There is a certain type
of life that is produced by it that is
characteristic in whatever race it is
found. The outcasts of India, che
slaves of Africa or the son of America
reach common experience thru the
adoption of its ideal and submission to
its Lord. On all continents it is the
same. A type of manhood bearing
some likeness to the Christ is develop

possible for the people of the world
which is Gods. In such a world Paul
declares the Bible to be seryiceable for
correcting errors, for changing conduct.
Cor disciplining the life in righteousness.
He sets Up no claim to infallibility,
to finality in science, history, economics
or any other field of developing knowl-
edge but does claim that in the field of
character and life the inspired word will
become the inspiration of the highest
type of manhood and Womanhood.

QUINCY WANTS
FREE BRIDGE
Is Negotiating With the Burlington
Railroad to Lease the Vehicle
Section to Make
Tolls Free.

Quincy plans to go one better than
the other cities on the upper Missis-
sippi river in the matter OF bridges.
She is negotiating with the Bur
lington railroad to lease the vehicle
adjunct OF the bridge across the river
there and make It free for traffic
from Missouri. The railroad bridge
has a section containing vehicle
track fenced off from the railroad
track in the middle Of the bridge.
The railroad talk like they may
accept the proposition of Quincy, II
is for the city to pay a fixed rental
for ten years and abolish all tolls on
the vehicle part of the bridge. More
over. at the end Of the ten years the
vehicle part of the bridge is to be
long absolutely to the city. The lat
ter argues that the railroad has been
paid the cost of it and six percent
interest, so that it has paid for Itself
already. The cost was only $4,000
in the beginning. it is agreed, as il
| is wooden annex to the steel bridge
proper.
The annual rental for the ten year:
lis to be $4,000.

AND LANGUAGE
Returned Soldier from Missouri Finds
Them tho Only Other Troops
In Europe Who Speak
American.

1--WE were with the French and the
British and the Canadians. and about
all the different troops in France"
said Private p. B. Brant, late Of the
342d heavy artillery in the st. Miltel
salient, the Argonne, and other places
where the fighting was hottest in
1913. He is visiting his uncle, Silas
Brant, and later an aunt near Maui
WOO.
II liked the French the best of
them ALL" he continued, "but we got
along very well with all of them. The
French are awfully slow; thought the
English were overbearing during the
few weeks we were with them; the
Canadians were all right, but they
really are Americans, you know.
1.-The Australians were fine-and
they spoke our language, too; they
were the only soldiers we met who
spoke the same language as we di
like we do"
When Private Brant came out from
under the ether in the hospital, he
found the piece Of shrapnel the sur
geon had cut out Of his thigh hang
ing from his neck wapped in a piece
of cheese cloth. His battery was
heavily attached many times and suf
fered greatly In casualties. His home
is near Cape Girardeau.

After Her Suit Against keokuk Pastor
Had Kept Her In Limo Light
for Weeks, She Lands In
the Mud.
NO SECURITY FOR COSTS
As Soon as Bethel A. M. E. Minister
Got Lawyer and She Got the
Third One, Case Comes
to Sudden End.

| The Reverend Mamie Z. Smith of
evangeIistic and justice court fame,
has discovered that the way of the
| lltigant Is hard-as well as that OF
the transgressor-and much more
expensive.
Her suit against the Rev. c. r.
Waters Of Bethel A. NJ e. church to
recover $13.59 for expenses which
she had incurred In getting to the
scene of her labors, came up in JUS
| tice Hawkes. court this morning after
three continuances. She had filed a
new suit against the trustees and in
creased the amount to SIT to include
other expenses incurred in getting
back to this city, and also for her
salary which she claimed she was to
get. L
| 1t began to look as though the case
was really going to be tried, when
her lawyer had decided that he didn't
care to handle the case longer and
left her with the stage all set but
no lawyer.
Not to be daunted by SO small a
thing as this unforeseen absence Of
counsel she fastened out to hunt a
new lawyer. She found him forth
with and appeared to continue the
case.
At this juncture, the defendants
threw wrench in the wheels of her
steam roller by fling a motion to
compel her to file security for the
| costs of the case.
Still undaunted she decided to
Icomply-until she found how much
that would be.
When the court informed her that
lit would be necessary to deposit a
bond for $3.50 she decided that JUS
tice was going to be too expensive.
The case was dismissed-just as
! the Bethel A. NJ e. church said it
would be from the beginning.

Many Home Service Workers Of Red
Cross of Iowa and Illinois Col
lect Here for Informal
Discussions.
CONVERSATION is USED
Instead of Rhetorical Oratory or Set
Speeches in the Meaty Dis
cusson of interesting
Problems.

! When Miss Laura Alton. chairman
of the home service section of the
Keokuk Red Cross, called to order
the regional conference this morning,
the many delegates were sitting
around the wall of the large Y. w.
C.. A. parlor.
| 1.-The first thing / have to say to
you is, to come up closer; bring your
chairs right up front here around
me-" were the first words Of Louis
M. Calm, Of the Chicago Red Cross
| Headquarters, whom Miss Alton intro
duced.
And at that, everybody gathered
around Mr.. Kahn in a close gruop,
nice and comfy, for confab, rather
than formal conference.
Delegates were present from Keo-
sauQua. Washington, Burlington, Fort
Madison, Wapello, Muscatine. Mt.
Pleasant, Fairfield, among Iowa
cities, and from Macomb, Bushnell.
Rushyille, Monmouth, Galesburg,
Oquawka, Quincy, Pittsfeld, Griggs-
vile, Mt. Sterling and Carthage, ILL
nois.
Meeting Full Of Meat.
The meetings were held at the Y.
w. c. A., both this forenoon and this
Afternoon, and were very interesting
because full of meat and entirely
lacking in decorative oratory.
Questions and answers were the
chief form of study Of the new prob
lens confronting the home service
section Of the Red Cross with the
cessation of the fighting.
At noon, the entire conference had
luncheon at the Hotel Iowa, and the
talk at table continued to be about
the work. of the women who are
doing and have done so much for
the loved ones of the absent soldier.
Miss Louise Cottrell and Miss
Dorothy Williams are the other ex-
perts from Chicago at the confer
ence-

ARBOR DAY
FORGOTTEN
Not Much Observance OF II In keokuk
Today, But the Trees in
This City Kept on
Growing.

This is arbor day, in Keokuk.
Arbor day is a day set aside by the
State of Iowa to boost the trees.
1t is one of the many days with
special names on which people are
supposed to work and mediate on
some special subject.
There are so many Of them now,
that Keokuk people can not remem'
Der them, until the evening paper
tells them about it--too late to do
much.
Some Of the teachers in the Keokuk
schools had Friday afternoon pro-
grams about trees and their value,
hut there was no general stopping OF
regular studies to devote the day to
trees.
The trees planted in upper Main
street as a memorial colonnade to
soldier heroes are growing very well
thus far. So are other trees.
