SEARH THE SCRIPTURES


The Gideons, the Christian CONNER
cial Travellers Association, proposes to
put a Bible in every hotel bedroom in
America, and in the last twelve years
have placed t~hirty-tve carloads, 45Oi
0O0 copies, about One-third OF the re-
quired number, beginning at Iron
Mountain, Mont, with twenty-five
Bibles on November 2S, 1908. A Chi
cage hotel has 1900, the largest num-
Der.
On June 24-26, 10000 bibles was
placed in the hotels of Atlantic City,
n. j. Dedicatory services for the BIZ
bles was held on Saturday, June 25;
the chief speaker of the occasion was
Lyell RAIDER, a Gideon of Chicago, who
is a chemist.
Wonderful are the results of the
Gideon hotel Bible work. The reports
speak of hundreds converted to God,
a would-be suicide saved, girls pre-
served from the fatal wrong step,
thieves made repentent, feelings of
safety impaired to guests just to see
the Bible on the dresser. The Bible
breaches to every guest whether 1t Is
opened and read or not.
This Bible work of the GideOns is
provided for by the donations of thou
sands of interested persons.
Who are the Gideons? They are
the commercial travellers who take
their religion with them when they go
away from home. The object of be-
ing organized is to improve every
opportunity for the betterment of the
lives of fellow travellers, business
men, and others with whom they come
in contact. The Bible work for the
hotels has for its object the getting of
the gospel to 100000 commercial trav-
elers and other transients, the great
majority of whom likely never go to
church or Sunday School, and who are
out of the reach of the Church's act
|ivities.
Who can be a Gideon? Any travel
ing man who believes in Jesus Christ
as the eternal Son of God, and accepts
Him as his personal Saviour, who is
a member of a church that makes such
belief a condition of membership, and
agrees to wear the Gideon emblem. 1t
is not a secret society, has no grips,
or pass words, and no insurance 4ea-
lures. 1t has an associate member
ship to which any firm, corporation or
Individual is eligible, without any OF
the obligations taken by the regular
members. Regular members number
in the United State about $500. The
magazine, The Gideon, comes monthly
to all members.
Employers of travelling men espec-
tally have reason to cooperate in the
extension of the Gideon organization,
for this work makes better, cleaner,
and more successful statesmen, and
brings hope and joy to those who come
in touch with it. Numbers of discour-
aged. sorely tempted commercial traV-
eiers have been saved from falling,
from sorrow and death, by the Bibles
placed in the hotels by the Gideons.
A booklet giving historical account
of the organization, with interesting de
tails of the results of the Bible work
with other information, may be had
from national headquarters. Mar
duette Building, Chicago The presi-
dent of the organization is J. Harry
Humphreys, Of Huntington, ". Va

The Friends or Quakers do not
swear but affirm with uplifted hand.
Their reason is found in Matthew V,
34-37.
So you see to be a good American
citizen it is necessary to know what
is in the Bible which is used in the
courts of justice.
Some years ago the American Bible
Society employed a resident of Salem
County to visit every home in Salem,
Cumberland and Gloucester Counties
to see whether there was a Bible in
every home. Where there was none
and one was not bought he gave one.
A year or two after the same man
called again and learned some did not
have a Bible where he left one. He
asked what became of it. The person
said Father -- took it."
No Bibles In France
Silliman's Travels, Vol |, page 1877,
relates, During the peace of Amiens,
(1802) a committee of English gentle
men went over to Paris for the pur-
pose of taking steps to supply the
French with the Bible in their own
language. Of his committee Mr..
Hardcastle was one, and he assured
me that the fact which was published
was literally true-that they searched
Paris for several days before a single
Bible could be found"
So you must draw the conclusion
that the great difference between he
English speaking nation and the
French people, a few hundred miles
away, the difference between the
French Canadians and the English
speaking people have had the Bibles
in English to be read by the common
people more or less for three hundred
years, while others have not had the
Bible because Father - does not
consider it a fit book to read.
Every person is a citizen in Amer
lea. Every person may be called at
any time to swear in court. They
should surely be taught the origin and
nature of an oath and where it
originated. 9,
Only by knowing the Bible and
obeying instructions therein a a
Democracy be continue. You will
learn the particulars in the book OF
Judges.
The above are a few facts from
civic histories to teach a lesson in
Americanism.

A movement has been started in
New Jersey to have the boxing law
repealed. The Dempsey-Carpentier
prize fight for the world champion
ship may have been a friendly legal
boxing match, yet the high moralists
believe that mankind should be taught
to be above the brutal age, AS the
fight took place in New Jersey moving
pictures of the event will be shown in
this State. A Federal law forbids the
transporting of pictures of prize fights
by interstate commerce. State laws
forbid showing such pictures in Penn
~sylvania and other States. The laws
of some States forbid showing pict-
ures of acts which are not legal to
perform. Soon all pictures will be
censors on the same standard, besides
cutting out the suggestive.

ligioHS liberation and largely a separ-
alton of Church and State.
The Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
Rock, Massachusetts, December 20,
1920, and many Puritans followed, I'M
til New England was mostly taken up
with them.
They left the old world traditions in
Church and State behind. They gov
erned themselves in town meetings.
The Bible was the only law book rec
ognized and ministers Of the congre-
gational church, mostly Calvinistic,
We're thought the best interpreters.
The three hundred years anniver-
sary Of their landing is being
celebrated with ~pageantry at Ply
mouth, Mass.
The harsh and severe Mosaic code
was largely enforced in New England
and the inhabitants of New Jersey
also put many of the Levitical laws in
their criminal code. The twelve cap
ital crimes were, idolatory, witch
craft, blasphemy, murder, poisoning,
buggery, sodomy, adultery, rape, abb
duction, perjury, Instruction.
Research historians declare that the
people of Great Britain are sor2e of
the defendants of the TeC LIST Tribe
of Israel. If not n blOCd, their Prri-
tan descendants surely menifected 1t
in their government and religion by
taking the old Mosaic laws as their
guidance in civil and religious living.
They dropped old world traditions,
monarchy and religion and civil gov
eminent as the children of Israel did
when they left Egypt, and founded a
government regulated by law, which
has been Anglo-SaXon great funda-
mental.
The list of crimes for capital pun
ishment was larger in England.
Those in the Colonies were anchor
ated by Dutch stolidity and Quaker
passivity, gained from their reading
the New Testament Scriptures. So
YOU see the universal reading of the
Bible mas had more to do with the Gre
alton of Anglo-Saxon P~1ritanism and
the making of American Democracy
than any other book.
Oath and the Bible
In all courts of justice most wit
nesses are sworn with one hand or
the Bible. The oath is a religious act
by which the person invokes God, not
only to witness the truth and SINGER
ity of his promise, but also to avenge
his not telling the truth, which is per
jury and punishable by the laws of the
State. The original oath is found II
Genesis, chapter IA, verses p and 70.

to the existence Of tax-exempt in
