We have passed that stage
where our faith depends upon the
literal truth Of all the Bible" said
DIR. Brown. "If 1t affords us
clear conception Of God, provides
a guide to lead men to greater
work and is a lamp to guide
mems feet and light their path,
the Bible is true"
Stating that the spiritual truth
of the Bible is apparent and that
to interpret many Of the passages
literally would kill our faith in
the truth OF the Bible" DR..
Brown continued:
THE truth of the Bible does
not depend on whether the
book Of Jonah is literally true.
whether Solomon wrote ell the
Proverbs, or David wrote all the
Psalms. The Bible itself tells us
to study it and divide the truth.
We must separate that which is
local, temporal aand unessential
from that which is universal.
lasting and essential, and accept
its best parts. Let the Bible
stand or fall, not by the test Of
ecclesiastical dogma, but by the
test Of use and experience"

The reporter who was in the

quickly behind a pillar of the

trouble was about.
It's an old feud of several
years standing" said the old
resident, between the editor and
the Judkins family. About every
two months they get to shooting
at one another. Everybody in
town knows about it. This is the
way it started: The Judkinses

of the family came here on a

Brown gave her a big party

proper, 90 she ran her pencil
through it. Then the advertising
manager prowled around through
the editors mail as usual, and
read the poem. Old Brown owed
the office SIT back subscription.
and the advertising manager
struck out the fourth line. He
said old Brown shouldn't get any

Then the EDITORS wife hap
pened to come in to see If there

read 1t. She was at the Browns

the line that proclaimed Miss Jud-

I How the dietary Of a people can be

methods is shown by the banana indus
try, writes Edwin Il. Slosson in the
Worlds Work. In 1870 Captain Baken,
coming back from jamaica on his
schooner, brought 20 Boston few
punches of bananas as curioslties.
They attracted the attention OF A. w.
Preston, fruit dealer OF Boston, who
in 1885 started with an investment OF
$1,000 the enterprise that became the
United Fruit company, which now runs
a Feet of about a hundred steamers to
the Caribbean and owns large planta-
tions on the islands and In Central
America. These localities have been
transformed from sanitary and In
dustrial standpoint and supply us with
some 50,OOO,000 lunches of bananas a
year, half bunch, or 72 bananas, for
every one OF us. The bananas are
picked green and delivered at various
points of the United States in such a
state as to ripen within two days from
arrival. All the bananas have to be
eaten within three weeks from the
time of picRiDg in the West Indies.

GOT NAME FROM TROJAN KING
History Professor Says Britain Was
Ancient Land Before the Land
X inp Of the Romans.

] Professor Gordon, Merton professor
of English literature in the University
of Oxford, lectured to the English as
:sociation at the London School of Eco
nomics on "The Trojans In Britain" /"
and the report of his talk given by the
London Morning Post, sets forth some
statements new to the general public.
Professor Gordon said he found 1t
difficult to understand why so often the
history of Britaiif taught to schoolboys
began with julius Caesar, for Britain
was quite an old land by the time the
Romans arrived. The first Britons
were the Trojans, and Brutus, the first
British king. gave his name to the
island.
Brute, or Brutus, great grandson of
Aeneas. gave Britain its first estab-
1ished population since the food. He
founded a second Troy in Britain. On
his voyage he encountered sea monsters
known us sirens, which Godfrey hnag-
ined to be species of whale.
Brutus landed in Britain, where he
found nobody but few giants, whom
he rounded up in their caves. One
giant was clothed in furs made up of
the boards of the kings lie had killed.
Lud, one of the associates Of Brutus,
gave his name to London and TO Lud-
gate. The Trojans represented the
best blood OF Europe; hence it was
quite natural that Cymbellne's son
should marry daughter of the EN-
peror of Rome.
