MY WONDERFUL BIBLE

Sinners hate it and saints love
it.
It promotes everything good and
denounces every evil.
1T denounces everything that
would cause human sorrow.
Where the Bible is there are hos
pitals, doctors and all human
mercieS.
The more this book is given
away, the greater its sale.
It is loved by those Of every age
in life.
Tt attracts the simplest minds
and confounds the deepest
thinkers.
It is loved by doctors, lawyers,
=, merchants, bankers OF every
Y kind, whereas the libraries
pertaining to their own kind
of work are not attractive to
those outside that line Of SER
vice.
It is always up-date and meets
today'S needs.
Tt is so complete in it's coverage
of all human conditions that
no one has ever written a
chapter to add anything to it.
It is the only book written in
the Orient that is loved
throughout the world.
UT has survived the ignorance
of it's friends and the hatred
of it's enemies.
It has remained on the battle
fields of life to preach the
funerals of those who opposed
it
It is the only revelation of what
lies beyond the tomb.
It's statements are so true that
it invites the criticism of his
torians, archaeOlogiStS, sc1en-
lists, and investigators OF
every kind.
ITS statements are accurate, con-
erning chemistry, astronomy,
geology, mathematics, botany,
anatomy, and all other arts
and sciences. - The Biblical
Digest.

Philippine Girl Engineer
Designs Michigan Bridges

LANSING, Mich. - up - Pretty
oughly accustomed to being the
only girl among a group of several
hundred men.
When she studied civil and san
itary engineering at National Uni
versity in Manila, she was the only
girl in the class. When she took
her Masters degree at the Univer-
sity of Michigan, she was once
more the only girl in the post
graduate engineering courses.
Now she is the only girl in the
bridge design division of Michi-
gan's State Highway Department
Back in her native Philippine Is
lands, most young women consider
. only one career-marriag and
home-making. So Romola created
quite a stir when she not only de-
cided to enter the school of engi-
neering. but also was graduated
with honors.
She was almost as much of a
sensation at the University of
Michigan, as a civil engineer ma
joring in structural design. 1t
wasn't so surprising to have a
girl in engineering classes there
but II was novelty to see such a
pretty, feminine coed wrestling
with bridge design.
Its the same thing in my work
here" says Romola. 81 used to be
a little embarrassed about it, but
now I'm not"
I've got used to being around
all these men, and they all treat
me like a younger sister"
Romola is the daughter of Aure-
lilo IL. Corcuera, former professor
OF physics at the University of the
Philippines, who took an engi-
neering degree at the University
of Chicago. While his daughter
was studying for her Masters at
Ann Arbor, Corcuera taught engi-
neering mechanics at Wayne Uni
yersity in Detroit.
