BIBLICAL SCIENCE BOOKS

There is a movement on foot to locate Christian scholars who are competent to write frst-class text books in the various sciences that will not seek to discredt the Christian conception of the Bible as the inerrant word of God"
 IL is not to be granted, unless for the sake of argument, that there are reputable text books which seek" to discredit the Bible. They may be in- terpreted in such a way that they dis agree with some interpretations of the Bible, but it is submitted that no honest scientific textbook is written with the purpose of discrediting the Bible, broadly interpreted.
 Let it be understood that we believe in the wonderful power of the great Book. We humbly appreciate the debt of the world to Christianity. We be- lieve in God.
 But the stronger ones belief in God and in Christianity, and the more earnestly one seeks to follow the teachings of Christianity, the more one appreciates mans human inability
New Britain herald., 1922-08-15

10 solve the great mystery, to know the full significance of the word of God, That the Bible may be taken lit- erally, every word given its meaning as We understand the meaning of that word today, seems an assumption too prepnsternns 10 believe. Granting if you will that the Bible Is the inspired word of God, what man will he pre- snmntunus enough to assert that his human brain of capable of compre- hending that inspired wordf If the truth is laid before man so clearly that even the most dull intellect may read and understand. why this intending struggle to seek TruthP If the truth is written for all 10 read and under stand, why is life go complex?

 And the discoveries Of science may be described by scientists only in their poor, human language. If that language is interpreted in such way that men say 1t seeks to discredit the Christian conception of the Bible as the inerrant word of God" that is the fault of those who see such desire in It. Scientists describe that which their divinely given talents have disclosed 10 them. Such disclosures, the children of those talents are acceptable to the Donor Of the talents.

Maj. Gen. Seely started the trouble as trouble Is often started hereby asking a question in parliament as to how the country was fixed for air planes in case of war. The reply of Captain Guest. the air i minister, was not exactly calculated to make nervous people feel comfort able. He said that while the coun- try in 1920 had 1ss civil airplanes fit for war. it now had only S3 and these were of 2S different types. This year Ithere are only 8 machines actuan. y flying in regular service.
 The Air League of the British em- pire, which aims to do for the air force what the Navy League does for Ithe navy, saw in the turn affairs had taken a chance to do some effective propaganda work, and issued a state ment of which this is the gist The total strength of the Royal air force in these islands is 12 squadrons |of which percentage are skeleton formations.
 No provision has been made to en- lsure that civil machines and person. mel shall take part in the aerial de- Ifense of the country in case of war. France has at present 126 squadrons |of airplanes and will have 22o squad irons by the end of this year.
 Behind this force she has at. pres
 ent several hundred civil machines |ear-marked for use in case of war. The French aircraft industry is
 turning out l50 machines per month.

DISILLUSlONED MEN
Who Fought Bourgeois Class Return to Find Men Who Sent Them to Fight Enjoying Luxuries.

Moscow, Aug. IS. = Workingmen who were induced to fight for four years in the Red army against the representatives of the bourgeois class and who now return to Moscow to find white collared spectators dining in luxurious restaurants while they themselves have difficulty in securing black bread. frequently feel like throwing bricks through the windows of these restaurants, one Communist recently said to the Associated Press correspondent. Only the party discip- line and the promise that this tenn porary strategic surrender to the capi- talists will not last forever have held these disappointed workmen in check, the speaker explained.
 If we would permit it the Com munist party, instead of numbering 5oo.ooo persons would soon increase to several millions as many men want to get into the government" the in formant Of the correspondent de- cared. But the party Is being weed ed out and only those who can main tain themselves as spartan commun- ists regardless of what is going on a bout them will be permitted to stay."

'GREAT BRITAIN IN
 DANGEROUS STATE Air Attack Could Make Ruins Of
 London in "A Hours

London. Aug. 15.-Britain is de- clared again to be in dire peril. She is described as in dangerous state of unpreparedness against air attack. Ex- perts contend that London could be laid in ruins from the air within 24 hours. Many facts and figures are given by various newspapers to prove it.
 Britons anu Londoners especially, are told they should be so badly scared they wouldn't sleep soundly In their beds again until something was done to set matters right But the stolid Britisher refuses to be scared for anybody or anything. He rejoices that 1t has temporarily stopped rain ing and that the last two days of the Ascot racing were gloriously fine.
 But there may be serious trouble brewing for the government over the state of the country's air defeRses.

ENGLISH FARMERS
 GROW PROSPEROUS
Farm Laborers 10 Years Ago Now
 Drive Their Own Cars

London Aug. 15.-"Many men who ten years ago were farm laborers now drive their own motorcars.'
 That sounds like an extract from story about California or some other American state where farmers some times make a lot of money But 1t isn't It Is taken from report of the big profits made in Hampshire, Kent, Lincolnshire and few other countries of this old land by farmers who raise fruits and particularly strawberries Such tales are not often heard in England. English farmers, as a rule, take more delight in telling tales of woe than of well-being, Giving details of this agricultural prosperity, the report says: Tn one case man cut up field of 5 acres in acre plots and offered it to the Ia borers of the parish He had ar ranged the payments to extend over ten years, but g of the 5 purchasers paid for it on the spot. Within four years all the rest paid up. One of them during the last three years has sold f1,000 worth of strawberries from his one acre plot.
 "Jt is not to wberries alone that such men turn their attention. They make good profits out of pluns, apples. cherries, gooseberries and cur rents.
 At the time of the great agricul- tural depression Gladstone suggested that farmers should grow fruit instead of corn. His suggestion was received with scorn and derision by the old fashioned farmers One man, however thought the experiment worth trying. He has retired with a large fortune. Hundreds of others are now following in his footsteps"

THE SANTA FEE OCCURRENCE

Much conjecture may have been spent in trying to account for the strange episodes on the Santa Fe recently in the light of statement
 made by union chief that there were no trains left stranded in the desert when the railroad train crews went on strike. For several days past we have followed the adventures of the
 unfortunates in broiling hot Pullmans who were left by striking train crews in stalled coaches in the desert. We have taken the word of the Associated Press most trustworthy informant
 as to what was going on. Now comes the word of an official of the unions that the story is all bunk He is prej- udiced of course, the Associated Press is not-the mere fact that 1t carried the officials word which pur- ported to give the lie to it's own accounts of happenings is indication enough of it's impartialty There was not the question of doubt but that the trains were abandoned, every in- dication pointed to the truth of the story. And now it is denied, it is branded as a falsehood by a union man who implies 1t was conceived in the brain of some railroad opera tor and spread abroad to act as propa- eanda for the roads. A few days ago another union ofiicial stated that the 6anta Fe strike was unwarranted, was unoficial and that there would be

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN

Some individual we know not whom, led by an inspiration which we cannot understand has taken it upon himself to figure out what the "aver- age American" that you see much about in the newspapers is like. He has consulted various records and compiled his statistics which may be of interest. At any rate here they are.
 The average American is feet [ 1-2 inches tall and- weighs Al 1-2 pounds. This comes from the records of 100000 men who were examined for admission to the army during the last war. Rhode Island, in addition to being the smallest state has the short est men. Texas, the largest state can claim the tallest men. Their heights, on an average do not differ from those of the general average by more than an inch and a fraction though.
 The average number of defects per ltp II DIll tlts llltll "dS Dl, lioiIi lllN country 53. Kansas had the best record for men physically fit. Rhode Island the worst. Three out of every 200 men examined were found to be mental defects, which means that about l,5oo,ooo Americans are below mental par
 You may draw what lesson you wish from these figures mental, physi- cal or general. Certainly it would seem that physical conditions would be the easiest remedied, particularly when the average number of army rejects contained many whom proper exercise might now save or whom proper liv- ing would not have subjected to their condition at the time. Physical fitness is to be considered, particularly in the cities where more than 50 per cent have some physical trouble probably a minor one that can be taken care of by right living. Without physical fit ness few of us can accomplish any, thing for an extended period of time, notwithstanding instances of the oc- casional unforunates who have over come seemingly insurmoun be phys ical defects and are making place for themselves in the world
 Mental unf1tness, while not as great in proportion as physical troubles, is serious menace to the race as whole Some of that, also may be eliminated by careful thought and education Should we bend the energies that we waste in other pursuits toward build- ing perfect mental and physical race we should be successful in few gen. erations in all probability But events a few genera tions hence do not re- ceive the proper amount of attention from the present generation. The proper thing to do, as we see it. Is to make this generation prosperous, what ever 1t takes out Of us physically, and to let the future take care of tself. It is not until the individual of today is faceto face with a serious illness that he begins to take care of himself and then only because he fears death, He is not thinking of those to come, in too many instances, though more intel- ligent treatment of the future will ul- timately more benefit our heirs than the piling of a fortune to be "en- joyed' by anaemic son and daughters,
