Deep tones Of azure. streaked With

Discordant silhouettes Of purplsd

Dull, misty remnants Of a faded

Cling to a sullen sheen of varied

Majestic ruggedness of somber

Black grotesque shades upon a
sprawl of green,
Long angling stretch of drabineSs

Of animation, now unheard-un-

ACHIEVES FIFTIETH
READING OF BIBLE
New York Physician Proud
of His Record.

New York.-Bible stories never
grow old to DR.. William Woodward,
osteopathlc physician and booksell-
er Of Yonkers, who recently com
pleted his fiftieth reading of the Bi-
BILE and celebrated his seventy-sev-
enth birthday.
Having no fayorite passage, Doc
tor Woodward always reads the
Bible from cover to cover, both the
New and Old Testaments.
AS a student of the Newton The
otogical institution In 1873, Doctor
Woodward began reading the Bible.
A friend told him biblical passages
could be easily memorized II one
read them over % times.
Although he had little success In
committing the Scriptures to mem
ory. he became so interested In the
Bible he has continued reading It
since that time.
BY 1925 he had read K 40 times.
and remembering that by 1884 he
would complete his fftieth year as
a Mason, he decided to make his
readings Of the Scriptures CORE
spond.
Although he reads leisurely, as n
rule, he once finished the Bible In
IS days, devoting as many as -
hours a day to It,
He regards the Bible as the word
of God. literally true throughout. In
his own words: TOO many people
now. and especially in New York
city, read the Bible solely to dis
prove Its truths. If there were few
er hypOcrltes In the Christian
church, there would be less talk
about the inaccuracies of the Bible.
Among his varied achievements,
Doctor Woodward looks with pride
on his degree as doctor of osteop-
athy, his law studies, his editorship
OF the Charleston News, and his GO
articles for the Encyclopedia Ameri-
cana.

that a proper" approach would
