In some quart CTS the continued absence of the general from his downtown of flee, where he was accustomed to work seven hours daily, is taken as giving credence to the report.
 General Obregon today cancelled several engagements, and simultan- eouSly announcement was made that a banquet planned tomorrow in his honor by the Confederation of Cham bers of Commerce of Mexico and the United States had been postponed until Monday
 Several weeks ago the general was threatened with pneumonia. and his continued indispositiCn is thought to be a consequence of that attack.

The Bible, Agent
Of Civilization
As Powerful as Ever in
Uplift Of Humanity.

More and more it is realized that
the Bible is the only book in the world
which can be applied to all classes,
all conditions and all times. Written
and compiled thousands of years ago,
when the world was in its infancy
and when humanity was cropping its
way out of the darkness into the light,
its wonderful images, its inspiring
stories and it's uplifting spirituality
make it as valuable an agent of civili-
cation and as powerful a factor in the
uplift of humanity as ever it was. In
fact, the Bible is found to be the best
known guide for social progress, for
political construction and for indus
trial peace. Its usefulness does not
stop there. 1t is now employed to teach
the lessons of patriotism and to in
culcate the spirit of Americanism.-
