DIR. y. Knox Montgomery Here

DR.. J. Knox Montgomery, presi
dent of Musk ngum College, was the
speaker here Monday night at the
meeting at the Presbyterian church,
held under the auspices of the
young peoples class Of that church.
Earlier in the evening a chicken sup
per was served in honor Of Dr..
Montgomery. Those present includ-
ed number of persons, in addition
to the class members, in all about
rs tickets being sold for the supper.
Preceding DR.. Montgomery's ad
dress, which was in the church aud
itOrium, musical program was rem :
dered, which included saxophone
solo by James Finley, a vocal duet
by Mr.. and Mrs. H. G.. Betz, with
Miss Paisley Mason accompanist: +:
and an organ solo by Mrs John
Hartley. The auditorium was well
filled, and all were greatly pleased
with Mr.. Montgomery address AS
a speaker for such occasions, Dr..
Montgomery has few equals. He
spoke briefly while at the banque.
table, in which he emphasized the
thought that no person is educated
who is ignorant of the Bible.
In his main address DR.. Mont
gomery spoke Of his trip around the
world and of some of the places he
visited. He spoke of the spirit OF
reverence and loyalty manifested.
even in the heather lands, where he
visited; that when they entered
Their temples for worship it was al
ways in the spirit of deepest rever
ence. He gave many incidents of the
reverence and loyalty to sacreS
things in the various places he Wis
ited--in Japan, at various places in
and about Jerusalem, at ST. Peters,
Rome, and many other places. No
one he stated could be in such places
and not have the spirit Of reverence,
and of loyalty so markedly mani
tested. He emphasized that we all
should have more of this reverence
for the Bible, and the churches, for
it is through the Bible that God re-
veals Himself. He stated that we
profess to follow Him-but who is
there who really does? Loyalty he
said is one of the greatest needs of
worship in America today What
would happen if we should all get
the true impress of Christ's life and
go forth to live it. Be ye doers,
not hearers only. Be loyal and true
to Him, for He is the truth. the way
and the light. Through the radio,
the speaker said, millions of the peo-
pie of the earth can hear the story
OF His redeeming love. There is but
one book, DR.. Montgomery said, to
live by and but one book to die by,
and that book is the Bible. Gather
in your churches and classes about
it in the spirit of true reverence and
loyalty
Prof j. Ray Smith, president of
the class, presided, and stated that
it is the intent of the class to have
special meetings monthly, of the
class, the program of the meetings
to be conducted along different
lines.
