SOPER SAYS THE BIBLE NEEDS NO DEFENSE Being Able to Quote From the Holy Book Doesn’t Mean One Knows H. Goldsboro, April C.—The third an nual conference of Sunday school workers of the North. Carolina Methodists conference began on schedule time here today and some thing over 200 delegates were registered before the night program began. The number of delegates will very likely pass the 400 mark by the first session tomorrow. The afternoon program was given over to registration of delegates and routine work. Dr. Soper, dean of the Bible de partment of Duke university, was the outstanding speaker of tonight’s program. He spoke on the subject, “The Worker and His Bible.” He said “that one must know the Bible to be able to teach it and that knowing about 1 the Bible is not ' knowing the Bible itself. Manv 1 critics try to defend the Bible but it needs yo "defense. Just as soon as the Bible is understood and lived out in our lives it becomes its own de fense. “Allowing the Bible to become a part of you is knowing it. One rea son why Ik> . many people misunder stand the Bible is because they think that it is verbally inspired and accept it as authority on religion, science and everything else.” Dr. Soper himself believes in the inspiration of the Scriptures, but does not accept it 'as authority on science. He said: “The Bible does not agree with science nnd is therefore no textbook on science. If you go to the Bible for a textbook on religion it is one of the greatest textbooks ever written. Oiie reason why more people are not Christians is not because the Bible is not clear, but because we are not clear in our living. The main theme of the Bible is Jesus,” Bo**» (pointing to hay stack) : “What kind of a house is that?” Moggs: “That aip’t a house, that’s Ihay.” Boggs: “Say, you can’t fool me; bay don’t grow in « lump like tbnt.” I ONLY FEW PERMITTED AT CHAPMAN FUNERAL .Many Unexplained Incidents and j Events Sealed in Grave With No ; furious Robber. j Hartford. Conti.. April 6, —A new j grave in the quiet of Mount St. j Benedict cemetery tonight held the body of Gerald Chapman. He was buried there at daybreak with a secrecy far different from the noisy revelations of his crimes, trial and hanging. Chapmans body, claimed as the law' permitted, by Kev. Father Michael Barry, the prison chaplain, was borue to Mount St. Benedict, a few hours after his life had been taken in Wethersfield prison for murder. There were no crowd of the cur ious to follow him to. the grave as they had through his trial for the slaying of a policeman. It waa re ported that a sister was among the few at the burial, but her Mentity was carefully shielded and so far as the records showed, the last privilege of a friend to claim a felon’s body and save it from an anatomist’s knife, had been assumed only by Father Barry. Father Barry signed a permit so that the Wody might .be placed in consecrated ground. Chapman was born of Catholic parents. He had been baptized in the fqith and served as an altar boy. Father Barry had said that he would give Christian burial to Chapman as a friend. He was not at the burial, baviug de parted earlier on a vacation. At the grave were two cf Chap man's counsel, an undertaker and the dead man's sister whose further identity was not disclosed. “Anything besides collars, ties and handkerchiefs, sir. How about some night shirts?” “I ain't no society rounder, young felter; when night comes I go to bed,’] Irving Berlin is said to have re ceived nearly half a million dollars from his first big 'song hit, “Alex ander’s Ragtime Band." D. M. ABERNETHY NEW MAYOR OP CHARLOTTE Appointed ani Sworn in Y'utftrday; I Had Btrn in Tax Department. Charlotte. April 7 —David Monroe Abernethy, head of the tax soliciting and adjusting department of the city since 19211. was Wednesday elevated to the position of chief exe cutive of the city, being eworn in Wednesday nfternoon. Mayor Aber ncthy served as commissioner of pub- : lie safety after the resignation nf j Horace Moore in 1918, having been j appointed by Mayor Frank B. Me- I Nieh and A. H. Wenrn, then com- j inissionrr of public works. At the time of the establishment | of the commission form of govern ment in the city in 1917, Mayor Ab ernethy was assistant auditor of Mecklenburg County. Mayor Aber- ; nethy said that his appointment and acceptance had come upon him so suddenly as to be bewildering.- Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter. New York April 7.—Althougn trading continues limited the tone ! of the market jvafl firmer today, re- i fleeting apprehension of a latei start for the crop, following so much cold wet weather. The crop ss already much behind last year, though it cannot properly perhaps be said to be much behind, though a continua tion of present weather conditions would- justify even that statement- Developments so far 'nave not ser ved to create any important body of bill ish .sentiment, but a tendency in that direction is gradually being created, though it would quickly fade out with a period of clear warm weataher such as would enable planters to make up to some extent for lost time. Southern advices sug gest a bearish frame of mind, with financial interests rather worried by apparent intentions to plant as much as possible regardless of warn ings thatanotber large crop cannot possibly be absorbed, except at radi cal concessions, even from present prices, which are far below the aver age of recent years. The professional trading element needs very little encouragement in the way of favorable crop news to start an aggressive campaign for lower prices against which producers would have little defense, aside from trade buying which is quite hesita ting enough as it is.and would step aside, as far as possible, if conditions' seemed to favor a successful attack | on prices. Planters have learned a j good deal in the last decade, but j seem even yet hardly to appreciate the elementary principles of self de-1 sense, or at all events to be hardly I willing to adopt them. Possibly they will be saved from i the consequences of their own folly by unfavorable weather conditions, and renewed insect activity, but that cannot be at all clear as yet though some long range prophets assert that the stars in their courses will tight tile crop this summer. It looks hardly wise to attempt to follow prices in either direction at present, but the market promises to be more responsive to unfavorable than to favorable weather conditions, and the relative strength of near months is conclusive evidence as to the lack of spot pressure* in spite of bearish statistics.
