and which con tains Four GreatTrelsiires ........ THE DIVISION The first line reads, "The Holy Bible." Since the word biblia in Latin is plural and means library, we know at once that we have here not a sipgle book but a collection of several books. The second line, "Containing the Mattie Mae Powell NOTARY PUBLIC OFFICE: Greenwood Bldg. Bridge Street BR.C.E. NICKS VETERINARY SURGEON Phone 240 Church St. Elkin, N. C.

The third line says, "Translated out of the original tongues," indi cting that the Bible was originally published not in English but in more than one other language. "And with the former translations diligently compared and revised," shows that this translation, which was made under the authority of King James I in 1611, is the succes sor to several earlier translations. Turning over the pages we dis cover that the text is divided into numbered chapters and verses, which seems rather an unusual way to present a book until we learn that these divisions were not made by the original writers but were inserted In 1551 by Mr, Robert Stephens, a pious printer, who believed that more people would read the Bible if he made it easier to read.

A single glance is enough to indi cate that the Old Testament is much larger than the New—and here 1e an easy way to remember how many books are in each. The key number is three, which multiplied by itself gives nine. The Old Testament has thirty-nine books. Again multiply three by nine and you have twenty seven, the number of the books in the New Testament. Caesar, you remember, divided all Gaul into three parts. Similarly scholars divide the Old Testament into three divisions—the historic books, beginning with Genesis and ending with Esther; the .poetic books, beginning with Job and end ing with the Song of Songs; and the remainder, which consists of Why Liquid Laxatives are Back in Favor The public is fast returninf to the use of liquid laxatives. People have learned that the properly prepared liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement without any discomfort at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid laxative can be varied to suit the needs of the individual. The action can thus be regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid laxatives do not irritate the kidneys. Doctors are generally agreed that senna is the best laxative for every body. Senna is a natural laxative. It does not drain the system like the cathartics that leave you so thirsty. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid laxative which relies on senna for its laxative action. It has the average person's bowels as regular as clockwork in a few weeks' time. You can always get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at any drugstore, ready for use. Member N. R. A. sermons, or, as they are more com monly called, books of prophecy. Of the historic books the first five have a certain unity which has long caused them to be regarded as one. They are called the Penta teuch, meaning the five-in-one book, and there is a tradition that Moses wrote them all. Whether he did or not we can leave to the scholars to dispute. These are five: Genesis —the book of beginnings. Exodus—the book of going out. Leviticus—the book for the priests. Numbers—a sort of amplified census report. Deuteronomy—a Greek name meaning "second law," or review and digest of the laws. ELKS LICK NORTH WILKESBORO 29-5 Show Flashing Form to Take Mea sure of Last Year's Runner-Up In Western Conference Coach A. C. Hood's flashing Elks whipped North Wilkesboro, last year's runner up in the western con ference, by a count of 29 to 5 in a one-sided basketball game here Mon day night. Although this was the initial as signment for the Elks, they exhibi ted an excellent brand of basketball in floor work, in defensive tactics, and in chalking up points. Burcham with 5 and Transou with 12 of the 29 points made were easily out standing for the Elks, while the floor work of McNeill was creditable for the visitors.
