government hunts, relentlessly and
destroys all anarchistic literature or
doctrine, because its reading and as
slmilation makes anarchists Of men,"
Or. Dobyns continued. ut is of the
supremest Importance that we main
tain sound doctrine If we are to live
correct lives, and this is true politi-
cally and commercially, as well as re-
Iigiously"
Paul exhorted Timothy TO hold
fast the form of sound words, and
Peter exhofted his brethren to be
ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh a reason of
the hope that is in you. This can
never be done except by knowing
yourself what you believe" DR..
Dobyns said. 1.-THE lectures this sea-
son will cover such subjects as the
Scriptures, Cod. Man Sin, Grace,
'Glory,-all considered from the view
point of the teaching of the Bible. as
setting forth the evangelical faith"
Plenty of false teaching is being
done and it behooves Christian peo-
pie to give heed to the teaching be-
ing done in their Sunday schools and
colleges and homes that the truth as
it is in Jesus may find an intelligent
expression out of hearts, who are
/ soundly instructed in the word OF
God, said DR.. Dobyns. Among the
false teachings abroad there is moth
ing new, not an error or an ism, but
is as old as the devil himself. the
father of all lies, and they have all
appeared in all the ages, varying only
in form, but always the same in sub
stance Not one, but is ahundantly
answered in the Bible. and people
who know and follow the teachings
of the word of God are proof against
the inroads of all forms of untruth."
I'm our Lords day, the sect of the
Saducees denied the bodily resurrec-
ton, just as some people do today,
saying that there is no resurrection,

people the Lord Jesus gaNe answer,
saying, 'Ye do err, not knowing the
Scriptures, nor the power of God,
and the record tells us that he had

His voice rose. "These are the great

der DR., Dobyns' instructions is worth
everything TO met
Dr. Dobyns is a profound student
of the theological movement, and in
his lectures before members of all the
denominations of the Protestant
churches he eschews dogma and stays
away from controversy.
His lectures before the Bible class
might be bound and labeled Books Of
the Kingdom" and there are no gates
of creed or race to that Kingdom, but
all are of it who ove~Sustiee and
mercy and who hear the word of
God and do it.
The sphere for that effort is mere
and now-Dr. Dobyns will insist-and
his appeal is never to opinion. never
to external authority but always to
the individual soul of God in US for
No man can hear the Word of God
for another"
It is in the effort to fulfill that
word that satisfaction alone consists;
! without that effort all material sue
cess is in vain.
The hands are full of things, but
the heart is empty" and The empty
heart makes an empty world!'
DIR. Dobyns emphasizes the fact
that the sphere for effort is here and
row: it is in bringing in the reign of
Justice on earth that we advance the
kingdom and win peace.
Again quoting:
THE man who is most himself is
the man who gives most to society"
The emotion of goodness is not
enough-may, indeed. be weakness
but the will to do" is the keynote
to be sounded.
DIR. Dobyns has chosen for the
Bible lectures this season the sub
ject, THE Fundamentals of the
Faith" and in speaking on this sub
ject and the necessity of Sunday
school teachers and workers receiv--
ing instruction in the Bible. he says;
When it is remembered that for
the large majority of people the
Sunday school hour is their only time
of instruction in the Bible, the inn
portance of having it well taught can
not be overestimated. The design of
