BIBLE DECLARED
TO BE INSPIRED
Princeton Teacher Says God
Superintended Writing of
All the Scriptures.
Declaring that God gave superin
tendency to the writers of the scrip
tures, Dr. Charles R. Erdman, of
Princeton University, delivered the last
of four addresses at the First Presby
terian church Tuesday night. He
emphasized reasons for believing in
the Bible lie in the fact that it is a
record of credible history recorded
by credible witnesses,' contains the
revelation of facts that could not oth
erwise be revealed to man and brings
before mankind cardinal doctrines
those of predestination and free-will
in such a way that the two can never
be reconciled and yet presents the
whole plan of salvation in a way that
the mind of man never could devise.
Other than for the inspired word of
God as found in the Bible, there is no
reason for the existence of the church, ,
Dr. Erdman insisted, adding that
should the inspiration of the scriptures
be set aside the church might as well
close her doors and recall her mission
aries.
He said he could not understand how
any man who claims to believe in evo
lution can deny the inspiration of the
Bible because evolution teaches the
world is constantly growing better and
yet no man has written a book to
take the place of the Bible, although
man has had 2,000 years in which to
do this.
Dr. Erdman's address was filled with
argument in support of the Bible as
the word of God and "an impregnable
rock upan which all faith and hope are
founded" and that "faith and hope
thus founded cannot fall because
builded upon the word of God."
A good audience heard Dr. Erdman
deliver his third lecture in the Sunday
day school room of the First Presby
terian church Tuesday afternoon,
speaking upon the subject of "The
Holy Spirit."
The minister left Charlotte following
Tuesday night's address for Raleigh, !
where he begins Wednesday a series I
of addresses before the Presbyterian
young people's conferences of the synod i
of North Carolina.

SELF MASTERS
The only way to get along with
yourself agreeably Is to be the
Master of Yourself.
Self Masters are contented, hap
py, forceful and independent.
Those that are slaves to them
selves are always miserable.
Thrift is a habit of Self Masters.
It means mastering yourself a lit
tle every day.
Be a Self Master and take some
portion of your earnings whenever
they come to you and put them
in the bank.

Here And Hereafter
Thrift is the most important word in the sav
ings program.
Through thrift you accumulate the property
which you leave to your heirs. They should prac
tice thrift in its management.
Have you named an executor of your estate
who will encourage thrift on the part of your ,
heirs?
Many prominent business men of Charlotte
have named this company executor of their es
tates. We feel this to be a tribute to our record
of thrift in money management. The subject is
' worthy of consideration on your part. We would
like to discuss it with you.

How Is It With You?
Are you prepared for opportunities? Or, when they come to you, do you
have to let them slip by to be seized by others. Opportunities call for ready
cash, or the good sense and energy which comes from acquiring ready
cash by saving regularly from income.
