The MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
"The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever"

President Kenneth C. M. Stills, of
Bowdoin College, when asked for a
monograph on the value of the Bible,
wrote as follows: "In these days of
uncertainty and distress I know of no
book that is so useful both for the
scholar and for the general reader as
the Bible. Anything that can be done
to have the Bible more widely read
will be value not only to those inter-
ested in its literary merit but to all
those who need refreshment and peace
in these bewildered days."
Acting upon this wise counsel, the
Executive Secretary of the Maryland
Bible Society called one day in June
upon Commander Louis j. CULVER,
of the United States Frigate Constitu-
ton, to ASCERTAIN whether this grand
old ship, the pri6c of the Ur;!ed States
Navy, was provided with Bibles. He
feared tha3 fonr Bibles were needed
on board "Old Ironsides," one for the
captains cabin, one for the library,
one for the ward room and one for
the forecastle. Commander CULVER
graciously accepted the tender of
these Bibles, one being the gift of the
American Bible Society and three pre-
sented by the Maryland Bible So
ciety.
August 7th was designated as the
appropriate time for the presentation
ceremonies, which took the form of
religious service. At ten o'clock a
trumpeter of the Navy band blew
Church Call, which was followed by
an overture by the band.
Mrs. Charles Fisher Taylor then
presented to the ship a church pen
nant, the blue cross on white field,
which flew above the Stars and Stripes
during the service. This pennant
was accepted for the Constitution by
Chaplain S. w. Salisbury, of Wash
ington Navy Yard.
After sermon by Secretary Pow

ers on the text BLESSED is the Nation
whose God is the Lord" President ].
Henry Baker presented the four BIZ
bles to Lieutenant Commander Hart
ley with the following remarks:
at has been said that no one can
think an evil thought in the presence
of the Sistine Madonna, generally con-
sidered, believe, the worlds greatest
masterpiece, which adorns the wall,
rather small room, of the art gallery
in Dresden, Germany. While we know
this is not true, yet it does express a
beautiful sentiment and if it can be
said of a picture, can it not be said
with even greater force of the Bible?
"While the very presence of the BIZ
BILE 1 am sure at times has done a
great deal of good, yet it is not its
mere presence that l wish to stress
at this time.
"In presenting these Bibles today,
I wish to emphasize it's teaching, its
precepts the rule and guide of our
faith. May those who come in con-
tact with this Book on this ship read
it, study it and be inspired and bene-
flied by it.
at is considered by many to be the
word of God to man. 1t teaches him
how to live, how to act toward his fell
bowman, how to bear trouble, how to
die, and gives him assurance of bet
ter life beyond this one.
Lieutenant Hartley, do accept
these Bibles from the American and
the Maryland Bible Societies. We
feel honored in presenting them to you
for this old ship whose history is
both wonderful and sacred. God bless
old Ironsides.'"
The assemblage of more than four
hundred then sang America, and this
memorable service was closed with
the benediction, pronounced by Chap
lain Salisbury.

the frame barn located on the Ridge
ley farm, three miles south of Grants
vile, Saturday midnight. Stanley
Stanton, who lives on the farm, dis
covered the fire in the sheep stable

the building late to care for the live
stock. He succeeded in getting all of
the livestock out except six half
grown pigs. The losses included an
automobile, 25 tons of hay and some
oats. The Grantsville Volunteer Fire

to the one building. Mr.. Stanton car
ried no insurance personally, but the
barn was insured.

ter, Louise Hoover, situated about two

pipe. The blaze had gained such
Roadway when discovered that Miss
Hoover could only get her grand
mother, who has been ill for some
time, from the building. Their pet
dog, which was tied inside, could not
be rescued. They are now living with
Mrs. bursts daughter, Mrs. Ben But

Gov. Ritchie told newspaper men:

Maryland Is about equally divided be-
tween the rural and urban sections"
Prospects Look Good.
Gov Ritchie said he planned to go
as far West as Illinois and then into

Democratic prospects look good, out

the convention. Murray did, however,
swing his Oklahoma votes to Mr..
Roosevelt on the fourth and last ballot

Gov. Ritchie, before boarding a train
in New York City for Albany, was
asked if he expected Mr.. Smith to take
any part in the campaign.

'I don't know" he replied, adding he
had called Smith over the telephone
"just to say hello"
The four time Governor Of Maryland

alton rivals, his running mate, Speaker

r. Byrd of Virginia, have been guests
at the mansion. Melvin A. Traylor,
Chicago banker, who was an Illinois
