CREDIT DEMAND DROPS.
Slump Attributed to Smaller Crop
Movements.

The Federal Reserve Board. in it's
review of conditions made public last
night, reported the usual seasonal in
crease in demand for bank credit was
less during the last two months than
during the same period a year ago.
The slump in demand was attributed
to the smaller movements of crops
this year. aggregate marketing of
farm products falling off slightly in
August instead of increasing.
During the seven weeks between
the end of July and September % the
growth in loans Of member banks in
leading cities was about 100000, 900,
of which nearly $200000,O0O was in
loans for commercial purposes.
A balance of imports in recent gold
movements was described as a factor
causing the demand for reserve bank
credit to increase less than in the cor
responding months Of other years.

To some extent prospects Of delayed

els of wheat and have moved 10000
900 bushels. The growers pools in
Canada are said to have taken 65 per
cent of the receipts so far.
Notwithstanding that continuance
of the British coal strike is making

record Of many men, their comments
on the swift panorama of life. Many
of these men who wrote the Bible
were mighty men. There were priests
and prophets, poets and fiction writer's,
historians and propagandists. They
were aStute observers. They watched
the rise and fall of nations, the con-
flict of races. the rivalries Of kings.
They witnessed the birth Of a nation,
and the struggles by which that ma
ton established itself. They saw the
common people cOntending for fair
play against kings and despots. They
wrote the story as they saw it. They
put their story into history and fiction,
poetry and prose, bold prophecy and
mystical musings.
Were these writer's inspired? Many
of them. They were inspired by their
knowledge of human life. They were
inspired by their sense of the nearness
Of the great spirit which they called
God.
But they were human. They made
mistakes. Some of them pictured a
bad God, a God who was willing to
have little babies murdered for the
sake of revenge. This Is not inspira-
ton. 1t is devilish, not Christian.
Much of the Bible is inspired. It's
writer's knew humanity, and they
knew God. They were sensitive to the
spiritual meanings Of life. They were
not machiniStS, contrlving a machine
world. They were not legalists, for
ever quoting laws. They were not
materialists, dreaming only of well
filled barns. They dealt in ideas, ideas
about people and kings and nations,
ideas about God, ideas about the
future.
Such writer's were inspired. We
find God through them, q God who
lives and moves In all our tangled
affairs, a God who struggles with us.
the God whom Jesus revered and
served. We understand history better
for them. They throw a flood light
of understanding upon the motives
and passions which rule mankind.
The greatest test is this-their
words inspire us. The words Of the
psalmist and prophet and evangelist
astound us by their audacity, con-
found our imagination by their flights
of faith, charm us with the wealth
of their imagery, the purity Of their
insight, the passion of their convic-
ton.
Do not force the straight jacket of
liberalism upon the Bible. 1t Is be-
lifting. Do not attempt to find good
in all portions of the book It Is not
there. Read the Bible as you read
Shakespeare, and it's greatness will
leap out to meet you. The inspiration
of the great parts Of the Bible needs
neither attestation nor defense. The
Bible is we'll able to defend itself.

earthly king, then how completely alb
surd is the thought that the King of
Heaven would not provide an ade-
quate code of laws and directing prin-
ciples for His subjects in this wonder
full world of ours.
The thought of God leaving either
His vast material or moral universe
to drift without law and without in
telligent direction is a thought which,
upon it's face, Is so impossible that it
is unthinkable to q really full-rounded
mind.
1t Is not remarkable, therefore, that
we have an inspired revelation from
God. 1t would be far more remark
able If we did not have such a revela-
ton. Inspiration does not mean that
God dictated the Bible as a man die
tates a letter to a stenographer. Peter
states the distinction here exactly
when he says:
For the prophecy came not in old
time by the will of man; but holy men
Of God spake as they were moved by
the Holy Ghost. III Peter, 1.21.
The Bible is unique among all the
books of earth in that 1t specifically
claims for itself it's own divine origin.
To be sure, it does not elaborate any
formal theory of inspiration or infalli-
bility, and yet inspiration and infalli-
bility are implied from one end of 1t
to the other. All through the Bible
run such expressions as, THUS saith
the Lord" etc. This phrase, THUS
saith the Lord" or it's equivalent, is
used in the Old Testament fully 1000
times.
In addition to the internal evidence
of the divine origin of the Bible, the
fact of it's miraculous preservation
and increase, the fact of it's unique
universally, the fact of it's fulfilled
prophecies and the fact Of it's moral
and spiritual influence upon the fam
lily of man during these thousands Of
years of time all go to prove that it
Is none other than what it claims to
be, namely, the inspired Word of God.
1t is like a witness who comes into
court with a good and honorable rec
ord behind him. However difficult,
therefore, the circumstances connect
ed with such a witness, or however
striking and unusual the testimony
which he bears, he is believed, because
of his past record and his unimpeach-
able moral integrity. So of the writ
ten Word Of God.
The coat-of-arms of the French
Bible and Tract Society Is the picture
Of Bible in the form of an anvil,
around which numbers of broken
hammers lie upon the ground, and the
motto is: THE hammers break; the
anvil abides forever"
