THE BIBLE THE ONLY
SOURCE OF SAVING
KNOWLEDGE.

Since earth's foundations were
laid, men have been in search for
the truth. Especially after the fall
into sin Adams fallen race in con-
slant realization of its mortality has
ever been seeking the truth that
saves. Where is it to be found?
Philosophers and wise men have
looked the world over for it and
fathomed wisdom in their search
but to no avail. The true elixir OF
life, the fountain of salvation could
not be found among men, for God
alone is the giver of this great gift.
He gave it to men in the form OF
The Bible.
We all know the story OF the rich
man and poor Lazarus (Luke Is:
19-31). Immediately after his death,
Dives 1.-THE rich man) was in the
place of torment (hell). He request
ed Abraham to send Lazarus to his
fatherss house on earth; for' said

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent s1,20o,Oo0 for Relief Of
Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.

To. help overcome conditions Of acute
distress In Ave famine stricken prov
inces Of. Northern China, where mil
lions of persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage Of food, the
American Red Gross during the last
fiscal year spent more than 81, 200, 600,
$1,000, 600 Of which was contributed d.
,recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups 'n-
terested In the welfare Of China. y
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible 1t Ii estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal OF
membership at the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call, November IL to "a.
The method Of relief employed by
tn American Red Cross In its opera
lions In China was particularly effec-
tive, for In addition to saving hundreds
of thousands Of lives 1t provided China
With more than 600 miles Of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-
vent a recurrence Of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed 74,OOO
Chinese workmen, paying them In food
for themselves and Independents, this
food being brought M from Manchuria
and elsewhere.

Lazarus may testify unto them,
lest they also come into this place OF
torment. But what does Abraham
reply? Abraham saith unto him:
THEY HAVE MOSES AND THE
PROPHETS, LET THEM HEAR
THEM. Moses and the Prophets
signifies the WRITINGS Of Moses
and the Prophets, the written Word
Of God. the Bible. These writings
the rich mans brothers should hear
and from them learn how to escape
the place of torment and at last get
to heaven.
Abraham's reply implies that the
Bible is the source, the sufficient
source, Of saving knowledge. The
Bible is complete and perfect, con-
tanning every particle Of divine truth
necessary for salvation. Moreover,
Holy Scripture is the ONLY source
of saving knowledge. When the rich
man suggested that the Word OF
God was not sufficient guide, Alb
raham said: IF they hear not Mos
es and the the Prophets, neither
will they be persuaded though one
rose from the dead ,"
There are many other passages in
which the Holy Ghost refers us to
the Bible, as the source OF life eter-
nal. To the man who asked Jesus:
Master, what shall I do to inherit
eternal life? the Lord said What
is written in the Law? How readest
thou2" (Luke 1O:26). Again Jesus
says: Search the scriptures; for
in them We think We have eternal
life and they are they which testify
of me. u John 5:39). Paul writes:
'The Holy Scriptures = are able
to make thee wise unto salvation. !"
p Tim. BIS. Again it is written;
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
and light unto my path" st. John
at the end Of his gospel tells US that
he has written the book, that We
might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God, and that be-
lieving, ye might have life through
his name.
Because the Bible is, the. only
fountain oflife, the only spring from
which man can dip waters OF life.
therefore God commanded that not
one word should be added thereto.
Hence it is that the Bible is the
source of all doctrine, the book in
comparable, the foundation of the
church-the greatest seller" in all
the world.

Reduces Freight
Rates IA Per Cent

the argument that railroad earn
ings were insufficient to Justify
any general decreases, at least I'M
til operating expenses and wage
payments, as regulated by the
Railroad Labor board, had been
reduced. Every major industry in
the United States was represented
in the hearings, along with state
regulative bodies, most of whom
sought lowering of transportation
charges, but diverged in the de-
gree of urgency which they sug-
gested for the commissions ac-
ton. The hearings extended over
four months.
Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, appearing at the request
of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, proposed that
the commission should make over
the existing rate structures on
the principle of applying proper
tionately lower freight to the bull
ky low priced, raw materials of
industry and agriculture, such as
coal, primary foodstuffs, and ores.
Higher price finished materials
and passenger traffic, Mr.. Hoov-
er suggested, might bear the
charges until such time as railroad
revenues had developed to the
point which would allow reduc-
lions without endangering railroad
credits. Immediate and tangible
cuts, he said, probably could not
be made.
The secretary's position contrast
ed radically with that of state
commissions, whose members cen
tcred a good deal of their attack
on passenger rate schedules, which
they alleged to be too high for
the traffic, and in reality the
cause of low railroad earnings.
Representatives of the steel and
iron industry asked more stringent
and immediate action, principally
arguing that the commission
should remove the entire 40 per

cent increase put on Eastern rates
on their products in 1920. The
National Industrial Traffic league,
representing shippers generally,
took much the same position. The
coal industry elaborated Mr..
Hoover's proposals, asserting that
basically coal costs influenced
prices of so many other commodi-
ties that cuts in rates on it, par
ticularly upon bituminous coal,
would have a beneficial effect. The
farming interests were not so ur-
gent, particularly in view of the
fact that agricultural rates went
down while the discussion was
before the commission.
Members of the commission
themselves found much difficulty,
1t was indicated, during the weeks
after the taking Of testimony
ceased, in working out a line Of
action. A decision expected by
April | was many more weeks in
the making than even the traffic
experts and the railroad observers
expected, but it was pointed ont
that the record of testimony It'd
the transportation subject itself
were of immense magnitude.
There was also a suggestion that
delay might have been desired in
the matter TO allow business CON
ditions and price levels to stabilize
further, and to see whether or not
the Railroad Labor Board might
find it possible to allow wage cuts
railroads we're seeking.
