Little Of Bibles Content,
. Ayers Mt. Vernon Place
M. E. Church Pastor.

Urging that the Bible be more
widely studied, the Rev. Clovis O..
Chappell asserted that the collec-
tion of the Scriptures Is in danger
of becoming lost book" In
America, in a sermon at Mount YER
non Place NJ. +. Church South, yes
terday morning.
DR.. Chappell predicted national
disaster IL the American people al
low themselves toiforget the Scrip
lures.
"The parallel of the Nation of Is
rael. which, losing its Bible, was
swept into oblivion, is recalled to-
day." said DIR. Chappell, when we
learn that in American colleges less
than 10 per cent Of the students
have even the most elementary
knowledge OF the contents of the
Bible.
"The average novel usually has
a public existence of about eight
months. At the publication Of each
novel the public snatches IL up to
examine IL. >If ii be good, IL will
continue to be published. and in the
meanwhile the public. having sat
isfied itself on one book, eagerly
awaits the next, and the next, and
SO on.
The American people are so
thirsty that they must lap up the
dregs of literature, and are SO blind
that they will not turn to the clear,
crystal spring of Biblical wisdom
Of truth, where they might refresh
themselves
Increased home and school study
OF the Bible was advocated by DR..

GLASS TAKES SEAT
In SENATE TODAY

Carter Glass will leave the Treasury
tocay as soon as his successor. secre-
tary Houston. is sworn in at noon,
and go to the. Capitol to assume his
duties as Senator.
Glass's entry into the Senate gives
Senator Underwood another supporter
in his contest fc he IL tmocratic lead
ership with Senator Hitchcock. Glass
said last night that he would cast his
vote for Underwood in this fight.
While Hitchcock and Underwood
were tied in the vote for leader in the
Ast Democratic caucus, Glass's ad-
Vent will not imply necessary victory
for Underwood, since Senator johnson
OF South Dakotd, a Hitchcock sup
porter. was absent and impair for this
vote. With both johnson and Glass
present. a tie Will result. There have
been no public breaks in the forces
supporting the two candidates, and
as the matter stands. the deciding
vote still rests with Senator Hoke
Smith OF Georgia. who declined TO
vote in the last caucus.

IS Heard in Washington Churches Yesterday
Plea for Aid IN Rebuilding
Europe Addressed to
First Congregational
Church Members.

The devastation wrought by the
war. the apathy of the people of
Europe and their need of America
In reconstruction was discussed by
the Rev. DIR. Howard s. Macayeal,
OF Akron, Ohio, in a sermoLS RE
building the Waste Places" at the
First Congregational Church, yes
terday morning.
DR.. Macayeal declared:
The world was won for democ-
racy. and in order for democracy
to retain that which she has gained
1t Is necessary for the world TO be
rebuilt"
The speaker declared the United
States must lend a hand in the
work or soon witness pitiable con-
ditions in the land evacuated by
the Germans. . ....
"The ruined cities of France and
Belgium. the war-swept places of
Armenia, once more must be made
habitable," said Mr.. Macayeal. and
for this work the world is looking
in large part to us.
The Golfers of our co-belliger-
ents. especially those of France
and Belgium, are empty. Yet those
brave. silent people are already go
ing about making new France
and new Belgium out of the
wreckage of war.
I'VE, alone. of all the nations
have the resources to repair the
damages inflicted. by the great
struggle. and save civilization from
falling into chaos. America has
ever assisted the helpless. Surely
she will not fail now"

Stars Of Hope and Patience
Clean Through Gloom Of
Age, Says DR.. Henry A.
Upper IN Sermon.

A note of optimism was sounded in
the sermon Two Stars In the Dark
Sky" preached by the Rev. Henry
Allen Tupper at the First Baptist
Church yesterday morning.
The stars referred to were hope and
patience, the minister said.
Through the telescope Of faith the
visible stars reflect their invisible
light. Hope carries us to the future;
patience binds US to the present"
DIR. Tupper admitted the universal
aspect Is gloomy one.
"In every quarter of the globe" he
said. there seems to rest a shadow;
the heart of the world is broken; the
brain of mankind Is beciouded; the
arm of the strong is paralyzed: the
tongue of the nations Is stammering
forth absurd theories and senseless
platitudes; the hand of man Is cum
ming in it's devices of evil. and the
wayward feet OF men are cropping In
the unillumined labyrinth Of human
speculation.
But in the bitterness of sorrow.
there comes strength and consola-
ton in the words: 1T is good that
a man should both hope and quiet
ly wait for the salvation of the
Lord"
Dr. Tupper likened the situation
to a sky darkened by clouds. under
which men went about blindly and
aimlessly. wondering how they
would work out their temporal and
spiritual problems in the gloomy
night.
Il would bring, a merciful mes
sage to the miserable mass of
men," said the minister. The in
visible light is behind the visible
cloud, and through this cloud the
two stars reflect the light: and
these twin stars in the night re-
veal the order of that golden chain
Knowing that tribulation worketh
patience and patience, experience
and experience. hope and hope.
maketh not ashamed. because the
love of God is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost"

Conversion Of Entire World
Should be Aim Of Chris
tians. Says Peck Memoir
ial Church Pastor.

Christians should forget the
many false predictions as to the
end OF the world. asserted the Rev.
Irving w. Ketchum, in his sermon.
"The End of the World. WhenT
at Peck Memorial Presbyterian
Church. last night.
The only end to which Christians
should look forward Is the complete
of the world, said DIR.
Ketchum.
This great work will be accom-
plished because God Is behind II,
and the churches are cooperating
as never before" the minister. de-
clared.
'The early disciples" he conun-
ued, did not have a full concep-
tion of the purpose of Christ Even
Peter. the most outspoken of the
apostles. thought Christianity was
for only a chosen few. Paul saw
more clearly. realizing that the
whole world must embrace the doc
trine of Christ in order to be
saved"
DIR. Ketchum traced the growth
of the church from it's earliest. He
spoke of the belief of the early
Christians that the world would end
he said. the followers of Christ
neglected to build churches up to
that time.
When the prediction was found to
be nothing but a fallacy. the Chris
tians threw OF the robes they had
prepared for their ascension to
Heaven and commenced the con-
struction of temples to God.
'Evangelization was confined to
a small area until the past century,
but now we have missionaries in
every part of the world" said DR..
Ketchum. Through the co-opera-
tion of the churches, we can now
begin to look forward to the con-
version of the world"
The speaker declared that Chris
tianity was the only effective cure
for the present industrial unrest,
with it's attendant evils.
The governments" he said, "can
only curb and temporarily check
these manifestations, but perma-
nent cure depends upon change
in the individual, which religion is
able to effect"

THE SILENCE OF THE SNOW.
By Edith NJ. Thomas.

A Russian said: "You do not know, as we,
The beauty OF the silence Of the snow
How every ugly noise drowned out can be
As in some clean, white rivers blessed
flow.
The steppes and lonely izba know its
peace;
But our great cities, boo, have their re-
lease"
These words, in memory long sunken, rose,
When, after night on night of tapping
sleet
And ghostly snow DER shrouding other
SHOWS,
The Morning looked upon the trackless
street.
And then, for me, from many vanished
year,
Fair pictures of dreaming farm came
near.
Behold another world with its new facet
The countryside in city held strange
sway
(Or, so to me il was); for T me and Space
With n a cirque of artful Magic lay
The soul withdrew to some lost, ear y
mood,
Rapt far away n boundless quietude
But now, The City, struggling as from
swoon,
Turned her uneasily stretched out an
arm;
And helpless lifted up her outcry, soon
But softened all within the dim snow
charml
With this, the horn of some stalled, ven
turous car
The chime Of church clock-all from very
far.
At last the plough clean cut furrow
heayes-
A marble way through new created landt;
Outfiutter hungry sparrows from the caves
Outfiutter, too, the children, sleds in
hand
Their tinlling laughter, in the magic
morn,
Seems from some elhn underworld up
borne
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial. (Wilmington, Del.) 1878-1928, 1920-03-06
Just Folks
By Edgar A. Guest
HE LIVED HIS LIFE


He lived his lifo with heart and soul
And willing hands and ready brain,
He did not talk about his goal,
But worked its splendors TO attain;
He did not boast Of lofty things
And be content with fiowery phrase.
But knowing oil that honor brings,
He livcd in honor all his days.
he know the emptiness Of speech
That il not founded well in deeds,
lie did not undertake To teach
His neighbor all his little needs.
But little here he had to say,
Words from his lips were slow to run,
Men learned his thoughts from day TO da,
From something helpful he had done
lie was not one Of pirate Of truth
And in his conduct live lie:
Tie did not order eager youth
To deeds he would not dare TO try.
In times OF need his heart was kind.
When strength WAS called for, he was
strong;
To faults in others he Was blind,
Yet tried to keep himself from wrong.
Twas seldom that men heard him tell
what dreams he'd woven in his plan,
They only knew when care befcll,
That he WAS every inch man.
And when at last he passed away
His every thought was understood,
Though little he had Ind 10 say,
The life that he had lived was good

SEATTLE'S ELECTION.

A few days before the mayoralty cleo.
ton in Seattle the labor candidate, Dun.
can, remarked: LET me say that while
Duncan may be known as a radical
throughout the nited States, Caldwell
is not known beyond the boundaries of the
city of Seattle" That limited renown
was sufficient, however, to give Caldwell
$1,000 votes TO Duncan's $4,000.
In the primaries there had been three
candidates. Two of them, Caldwell and
Fitzgerald, polled total Of $4,000 votes
to Duncan's 26,000. On election day
Caldwell retained his vote, got Fitzgerald S,
and added thousand more. Duncan got
5000 Of the 5000 new votes, but fell
far short of his claim of a total of So, 600
Both candidates waved the flag, but
CaldwelPs real issue was the attempted
general strike Of last year.
Duncan is secretary of the Seattle
Central Labor Council, the organ of
which declared that the strike would
not have failed if there had been a cap
able Mayor on the job Duncan denied
any official connection with the strike, and
promised to clean up" the city morally.
His only chance of victory lay in over
confidence on the part Of the Caldwell
supporters. These, however, went to the
polls in sufficient nupbeB to leave
Duncan the worst defeated candidate
for mayor in the history of Ole Hanson's
interesting town.-New York Evening

PRICES PAUSE.

You can't blame the great Ameri-
can public if it almost feverishly watches
the market reports for evidence of q
check in the upward tendency of the
price index. 1t got some comfort last week
out of the commodity list. For this was
the second week of market declines.
though the downward speed was checked
rather than precipitate. There were
advances in foodstuff prices, but the
declines outnumbered them four to
one. In food list of thirty cardinal
numbers there were twelve declines
TO three advances. the rest standing prac-
tically stationary. The most marked
decline was inpatient -four from spring
wheat, which dropped $50 a barrel.
Some grades Of butter also went down,
along with coffee, tea, bacon, beef and
pork. In the whole Bradstreet list there
were seyenty-three changes, which in
Guided forty-three declines.
II would be folly to attach too much
significance to such a showing,
for there is no knowing but this week
may show an opposite tendency.-Hart-
ford Times.
