LIKE Bible TEST
Harvard'S Decree Concerning
Scriptures Is Commended.
Apart From Question of Devotional
ism, the Literary Value of Holy
Writ Is Well Recognized.

Harvard'S ca%fee that no man can
receive his A. B. without a Bible eX
animation is generally commended in
church circles, though, says the Lit
erary Digest, as the Brooklyn Eagle
remarks, the requirement docs not
shring out Of any renaissance Of de-
votionalism and Is in strict accord
with the views of all unbiased critics
ON cultural education" 1t is fair
enough to acknowledge that Harvard
has never discouraged study of the
scriptures as literature-it was a
Harvard alumnus who put "Armaged-
dom on the map of American poll
tjcS-but lin recent decades the inn
preston has prevailed that the under
graduates judgment, though distinctly
unripened should prevail as to the
value of the word of God to his own
ambitions and aspirations in life"
And, says the Eagle:
1--WE can't help thinking that some
seniors who rank high in tennis, dance
entrancingly, and have learned to
drive motOrcar with skillful law
leSsneSs will have to cram up on
Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Job and the
Apocalypse. We can imagine one or
more of them having the experience
of would-be graduate of a theolog-
zeal seminary which shall be name
less. He had been told that there was
one question always asked, Name in
order the kings Of Israel and if he
answered that perfectly nothing else
would matter. So he sat up night
after night and made himself letter
perfect on this branch of useful in
formation. But that question was not
asked. Instead he was required to
give his view of the nature of the
Deity. His answer was, Far be it
from me TO intrude my humble opinion
into such a discussion, where the
wisest are puzzled. But the kings of
Israel are as follows etc. He got
away with it and is today a success
full preacher of the gospel.
at is interesting that the Harvard
authorities rather throw cold water
on revised versions of the scrip
lures. They say: The King James
version of the Bible is one of the
great monuments of English prose,
but any standard version, ancient or
modern, may be used They rank
Shakespeare and the Bible as two
works of literature without which an
adequate appreciation of English let
ters is impossible We do not think
they are going too far. Shakespeare,
like the Bible, is a vast arsenal of
razor-sharp figures of speech, of
epithets and anathemas But of the
two, the Bible is far the more use
ful, for it's a fair estimate that ten
persons know something about the
Bible to one who knows something Of

speaker who reaches most minds is

The young wife with the colored
cook seemed to have lost her appetite,
says the Indianapolis News.
"What is the trouble; siciS?" asked
her husband. when she failed to cat
the tasty food which she had always
enjoyed so much.
mo, | am not sick-just not hun
gry," the wife replied.
"Well, it is the first time l ever saw
you that way"
After the meal was over and the
company gone the husband got the
real reason.
"You know, our colored cook is such
a good one" she said. 81 never have
gone into the kitchen, but this eve

for the perfect taste of everything.
The cook was busily engaged tasting
everything, and she was using the
same spoon, and she never washed 1t

After the next day the cook was
discharged.

Poisonous Fumes in Workshop.

The village smithy and the plumb
er's or tinsmith's shop may be not so
harmless as they have been supposed.
From researches of more than a quar-
ter of a century, DR.. James Gardner,
English health officer, concludes that
nearly invisible hot fumes, spreading
from the chimneys of these workshops,
carry a considerable charge of ben
zene and napthGlene, with manganese
and other metallic poisons; and that
the inhalation of these vapors tends
to affect the skin and respiratory
and nervous systems. The eventual
result may be some form of skin dis
ease, rheumatism, pneumonia or even
cancer. Collecting the poisonous ma
terial in a cup or hood for the chin.

ternational boundary line between the
United States and Canada was crossed,
the bar would be opened as the boat

liked over the bar and after getting
loaded up with liquor, would return
to Newport. On crossing the line, the
customs officers would seal up the bar
