luncheon occupied the TIME.
The class is working hard doing

Believing, as do the greatest

himself educated who does not
have an intimate and familiar
knowledge of the Bible, which with
Shakespeare is the foundation and
basis of the best English language

their knowledge and understanding.
The past SO years has seen scrip
tural reading and study in the home
sadly neglected. Our forefathers
read and accepted the Scriptures as
something which being believed,
served as an theological foundation
for civilized existence. Today, we
must know, that neglect to acquaint
ourselves with, and practice, the
tenets of this 'sbook of faith" has
had much to do with the hatred
