in a booklet, Farm Helps from the

the introduced English sparrow is but
one member Of the large family OF
sparrows and its habits are by no

They are essentially seed eaters, the
sparrows, but they consume also a

says the department, and the damage
they do the farmer is largely because
of over-population in the feathered
ranks. OF that class, the department
says:
1T would seem a good policy to ac

given the common crow. The crow is
not specially prosecuted, neither is it

The Bibles Place In Literature.

Unfortunately we cannot read all
the magazines and just as unfortunate
ly many Of us do not care to read some
Of our best American literature III
the November number Of the Ladies
Home Journal appears an article under
the title "Human Nature in the Bible,
by Prof. William Lyon Phelps, Of Yale
University. This is the second OF a
series of twelve articles written by
Prof. Phelps for this magazine, and
though we have no prediction to offer
regarding the other ten we do know
that the second Of the series should
be read by every man, woman and
child that has reached the age Of ac-
countabiity in America. The profess
sor does not advocate any special
"ism," but speaks Of the Bible purely
from literary standpoint stating that
the Authorized Version Of the English
Bible is the best example of English
literature the world has ever seen, and
though he is a professor Of one OF the
greatest universities in the country he
says that he believes a knowledge Of
the Bible without a college course is
more valuable than college course
without a knowledge Of the Bible.
We note with pleasure that the trend
Of thought as expressed by Professor
Phelps is taking a greater hold on the
American people and we readily agree
that the Bible should have first place
among ancient and modern literature.
Each day we note that the Bible is
gaining greater prominence with every
man that is living up to the 10th century
standard, and this man with his won
derful educational advantages is writ
ing about this great book and Its prin
Cipal characters in most human ike
manner, and regardless of a mars be.
lief he will appreciate these articles
for their literary value if not for their
spiritual worth.
If you are a subscriber to tie La.
dies Home Journal you should real
the article yourself and then lend The
I magazine to your neigLEo, who is not,
tLuS affOrding them an opportunity Of
enjoying this worthwhile presentation
Of a most ancient story in moders
