FOUR VIEWS OF THE BIBLE
The Belief That the Scriptures Are
Throughout Verbally Inspired Is
Not Universally Held.

According to one view, held for CEN
turtles, the Scriptures are throughout
verbally inspired and every word in
them dictated to the sacred writer's by
the spirit of God; according to another,
though they are not inspired word for
word, they contain record of divine
things written under divine influence !;
according to a third, though not writ
ten under divine inspiration in any
part, they contain faithful record
of a divine progressive revelation and
according to a fourth, they contain a
record merely of what long success
sion of pasSionately devout men saw
and felt to be the clear purpose of
the Eternal in His providence of the
world. st. John is authority for the
statement that mo man hath seen God
at any time; but certain impressions
or feelings are Interpreted as the
"presence of Cod" and certain states
of mind and will as the "Will OF
God" Men who believed they were
thus moved upon by the divine pres
ence and inspired to utter the divine
will have given mankind a particular
literature and this literature has been
called the word of God. SO far as our
western civilization is concerned that
word of God is known as the Holy
Bible.

COULDN'T PART FROM CLOCK
Elderly Lady's Most Cherished Posses
sion Had to Accompany Her on
Long Visit.

After her children married and
moved away, the woman reluctantly
sold the house in which they had all
been born and brought up, and moved
into an apartment, taking for herself
only her most cherished possessions.
The best beloved of all her things
was her grandfather's clock.
Finally her oldest daughter per-
suaded her to desert her apartment for
a winter and come and stay with her.
81 wonder that you didn't bring the
grandfather's clocl!" her daughter
said, as they drove from the station
to the house. REALLY, I'm surprised
at you, mother"
A flush swept up the woman's
cheeks. IL did bring it," she
whispered self-consciously. II thought
you wouldn't mind if kept it in my
room. It's coming on the next train
this one didn't carry freight"
For a moment the daughter looked
at her in amazement; then she threw
back her head and laughed.
"You really brought it?' she de-
manded incredulously. 81 might have
known! You didn't bring the sideboard
or anythlng?"
Still blushing, the mother shook her
head. "Just the clock" she said. Il
