This W course overlooked the fact that. If the Bible or any part of.lt is the revelation. of Qod at all. It Is amply able to take oare of itself.- It doesn't matter much who wrote a book, Just so we know for what pur pose, the book was written. Evident ly the book of Hebrews was written by a Jew. Its viewpoint Is Jewish. Furthermore the writer is able to see a sequence in Jewish history up to his own day. That man 1s generally not at his best when he abandons the peculiar faith which has 7 hitherto hiV aa TiA, n.. in.n IVV his new faith, abuses the old. Any thing which helps any eoul Into a higher life Ought not to be abused.

I There is now no force on land or aea In life of which man stands in ear. Yet there is a larger and more glo rious conception than that. 4 . The sixteenth century stands dut Jn the roster of epochs as a time In which, with singleness of purpose In their hearts. men mada nrotnilti las - alnst error and mtanA tar what thev believed to be right. They even took the terror away from death. Men drew their swords fighting for high' purposes and for principles men died. In contrast stands the nineteenth feantiirv mnr t)lnrtM In its connueat ef nature, ne merely over the beasts Idf the field, but ever every phasesof natural life. It was characterized by a high courage. It was not the cour- Lage of the military hero. When com pulsion drives to act that is courage. No thinking man Would disparage this courage, but that is courage old in the human :form. Every time the snare drum rattles or the trumpet blares, there is a responsive thrill and a quicker pulse beat, but this is not the highest form of courage. This is courage when a man de liberately lays himself upon the "operating table lft order that the ef fect of poison upon the human system may be known to the generations to come. That's courage. About him gathers no glory of the battlefield. All Is too "quiet.

But it was not the introduc tion of ethics that wrought the trans formation. The text explains It "We see Jesus."

Intellectually, or any other way. jesus never taugni , any sucn expectation. It is nonsense. But the situation pictured Is one where the power of God reigns In the heart like leaven In the meal. Jesus Christ is carrying the Bible and not the Bible carrying Christ.. Instead of men disputing on theories, about the Bible, the Son of Ood is going up and down bringing inte being the innate power and soul wealth of man. Man learning of Him learns that His name Is above every other name. Ood In Christ Jesus conquers man and the great elements so at war He brings Into the dominion of Ood and the fear, of God Is set up-in ahe hearts of men. This is the purpose of Ood te bring men into His kingdom; to bring man upward toward God. .. . . t. i .V,' 1I Arms, Leg and the Man.

THIS ; CONVENTION WEEK THE PROGRAMME FOR TO-DAY Advance Cohorts of the Republican - Hosts to Arrive In the City To-Day .

The . Republicans ' are arriving on every, train. Messrs. Thomas Settle; of Asheville, and , Isaac M. Mesklns. ef Elisabeth City, are at the Selwyn. Judge Spencer B. Adams and Mr. . i.-Duncan will be aers this -morning, It heglns to leok now as if former Senator Eutler would make a llttl trouble. An Observer man heard last .night on the etreeta that there was a likelihood of his Introducing resolution to elect a new ebairman. This in the face-ef the fact that Judge Adams has lnstRated a damage suit gainst Mr. Butler will make those who like not a dull time sit up and take notice. . ' i. The rubernatoelal outlook is more promising ef -uncertainties. The Lin ney stock is up'at'the present writing, Unless seme business man of promt nence who has not heretofore' been active in the councils of the party can be made to take the nomination Mr, Llnney may get It. Many of the old line Republicans want him to have it Mfr J. J. Brltt, ofAineville. Is coni-f Ing down with a. good backing from tne mountain counties. what are you running for?" Mt. Settle was asked last night. "Nothing in the world." was the resdv reply. "What sort of trouble have you Up your sleeve 7 No sort. Strange to say, hut true, I am here with several barrels of oil, "Oil?" Yes. oil. I am for peace, and will pour oil over the troubled waters' to keep the waves from mountlns- too nigh." Mr. Meeklns, always neat and fit. Is very confident that the Republicans can win this year if the rlnht sort of a ticket is put up. He looks the pic ture of health and Is In the pink of condition. A SHARP TUSSLE TO-DAT. The sharpest sort of a tussle Is ex pected at the meeting this morning of the special committee consisting of Messrs. V. 8. Lusk, E. C. Duncan, uuiiam Grlssom. C..A. Reynolds, T. T, Hicks, c. D. Wildes. W. R. Henry, 8. B. Adams, and W. 8. Pearson, which was appointed some time ago to pre pare suitable resolutions and sketch out a platform for submission to 'the regular platform committee this week for ratlncathin. While of course no announcement has been made as to tne issues of the fight it Is understood to be on the Drohlbitton oneation wnicn some of the loaders of the party in the May election favored and otners strenuously opposed. The complexion of this committee is enough to warrant the belief that i nght will ensue. One of the mem bers of this special committee stated to an Observer man last nlht that if a platform was adopted such as he and nis fellows would advocate th the Democrats would have to "hump" in tne .November elections, add n mat more democrats and Independ ems woujo vote the Republican tick et, state as well as national, than ever before. The State exeautlve committee, of which Judge Spencer B. Adams, Is chairman, will meet, as .previously siaiea. to-morrow. These meetings are of vital Imoor- tance for most of the work of the convention, practically all of it, is ae-i compnsned out of the convention 'haJl The workings of the State Democratic and State Republican conventions are radically different owing to the fact that one is overwhelmlnslv nowerful in State affairs whereas the other is supreme in nations 1 affairs. BUT ONE END IN VIEW. This year, the Republican hosts. marshalled bv such astute nolltlclana ad Committeeman E. C. Duncan. State unutrman Adams, Judge w. P. By nam. District Attorney A. E. Hol toh, V. S. Lusk, Thomas 8. Rollins, 4irry Skinner and others, are deter mined to place a, ticket in the field which will Justify their claims as to tile showing which the G. O. P. will ake In North Carolina. Kverv in teireet is being subjugated with the oe end in view.. Personal and orl vate bickerlnge have been relegsted to the background, save that biennial spat between Senator. Butler and Chairman Adams, which is stirred up purposely at opportune times, and the strongest sort of a front will be of fered for this presidential year. When Committeeman-- Duncan, the moat -powerful factor in' Republican affairs in tne state, and one of the leadera In party councils of the nation, ap proves tne schedule or nominations all win be well. The pyrotechnic display. of - course, will take Place and the light for Buncombe will follow, but when ths word goes forth that Carl uuncan says tnis or that Carl Duncan ays that, then the shouting will cease and things will go on as ordered, if there was ever a one man's conven held In the State, it will be the pres ent one for Committeeman Duncan and Chairman Adams will direct af fairs "as It seemeth to them good." and there will be none, lave possibly Senator Butler, to molest or make frald. BIO CROWDS EXPECTED. Estimates vary as to the crowds (hat will flock to the city thjs week to attend the convention. ' One of the party leaders was heard to de clare last night thst the attendance would be almost If not equally as large as that of the State Democrat 10 convention. Perhps this estimate Is a- little extravagant but there is no question that the city will be filled. A - conservative forecast places the number of visitors at three thous and. '-- It Is significant that the ros ter of delegates aad alternates Is but four less than that of the Democratic convention. The list of delegates and alternates to the Democratic gather ing wea 1,710: that to the , Republi can gathering this week is 1,706. The closeness ef these figures Is to be ac counted for In the fact that, tne ra tio of representation is not so ctrcum scribed with the Republicans as witn the Democrats. The street decorations have almost seen finished and so also the Audito rium. Dr. Warren Vines flail is due the- credit for the splendid effect which has been obtained In th mam moth gathering place at the corner of college and Fifth atresia He has Just procured a mom moth portrait, of Mr. 'Xaft, tour times the life e!e. and this win be suspended anove tne nan.
