Test In Fine Shape

Gruelling Tept Emerging
In Top Condition
Twenty-one and three-fourths miles
to a gallon of gasoline, and 3000 miles
on 3 3-4 quarts of oil, were the rec
ords registered by a stock Chevrolet
Master de luxe sedan in a certified
3000 miles non-stop economy run stag
ed in California.
The rim was undertaken to learn
the actual economy performance pi
the motor car under routine driving
conditions such as encountered by the
average vacationing driver.
The car was sealed by the Los An
geles deputy state sealer of weights
and measures. This sealing operation
included the crankcase and the ignit
ion.
The route taken in putting the mil
eage on the car included a jaunt into
Sequoia National Park, elevation 8000
feet. At the opposite extreme was the
Death Valley where the car passed
through heat of 110 degrees. Having in
mind the fact that no fair test of a
car's routine economy could be ach
ived without speed runs, the driver
cruised the floor of famous Muroc Dry
Lake at a pace of nearly 80 miles an
hour.
The Chevrolet came through the
hard test with no mechanical difficul
ties whatsoever, registering an average
economy performance of 21.75 miles to
the gallon. When the crankcase seal
was officially broken, only three and
three-quarters quarts of oil were re
quired to replenish the supply.

THE KING JAMES VERSION
KINO JAMES I, of England, appointed forty-seven scholars, high church
men and Puritans and those who were of no ecclesiastical party, to make a new
version of the Bible. Some of them had special skill in Hebrew and Greek;
some were able to bring help from their knowledge of translations in the Ital
ian, German, French and Spanish. After four years of Work they gave to
the world that classic, that "well of pure English, undefiled," the King James
Version.
Perhaps no version in the English language will ever equal in rhythmic
beauty that of the King James Version of 1611, but it is right that other ver
sions and even new translations should be made. Each of these makes a con
tribution toward our better knowledge of the original.
In 1885 the Revised Version was made by a joint commission of English
and American scholars. Reference will be made in the next chapter to the
wide interest in and influence of this scholarly version.
It was agreed that the American members of the confenission should issue
no version of their own for fourteen years. In 1901 appeared the American
Standard Revised Bible, which is at this date, the best available text in Eng-;
lish. Other worthy versions continue to appear, as those of Moffatt, Good
speed and the Riverside Bible translated by Professor William G. Ballantine.
Probably no one of these will presently supersede the King James Version,
but each has its value of comparison. While no important doctrine has at
any time depended on any of these translations, it is proper that the very best
and most scholarly minds should be engaged, as they are, in the effort to
secure the nearest possible approach to a perfect text.
The two critical sciences which deal with Bible study are said, with reason,
to have called forth the most severe discipline to which the human mind has
ever been subjected in critical study.
i
There may be readers of these essays who expected an affirmation that '
God in some supernatural way showed men just which books to select, die- i
tating through all the ages the exact language of the original and teaching <
how to translate it free from error.
It is a pity to disappoint them, but that is not the way it happened. The !
Bible rose to the place it now occupies because it deserved to rise to that place, .
and not because God sent anybody with a box of tricks to prove its divine au
thority.
Its answer to men's spiritual needs made it what it is.

THE GREAT APOSTLE
International Sunday School Lesson
for September 1, 1935
GOLDEN TEXT: "In all things I
give you an example, that so labor
ing ye ought to help the weak. Acts
20:35.
i Lesson Text: Acts 20:33-35; Philip
ians 4:4-13).
In the City of Tarsus, famous for
its wealth, industry and learning,
there was born about the same time
as Jesus a Jewish boy who was named
Saul. He was a Pharisee and brought
up in the traditional Jewish fashion,
tempered somewhat by the cosmopol
itan atmosphere of his native city. His
father was a Roman citizen, which sta
tus passed on to his son, standing
him in good service in later years. The
boy Saul was trained at Jerusalem in
the meaning and interpretation of the
Old Testament, having the great Ga
maliel for one of his teachers.
In early years the Christian faith
encountered the opposition and perse
cution of the Jews. When Stephen was
stoned, becoming the first martyr of
the Christian faith, the young man
Saul was a witness, if not an instiga
tor, of the lawles act. At any rate,
he soon became a powerful opponent
of Christianity, excelling others in his
zeal to exterminate what was deemed
a blasphemous heresy. He started to
Damascus, to reach the Christians
there but on his way came face to iacr
with Jesus and was converted. From
that time on Saul completely reversed
his attitude and put as much energy
into spreading the new faith as for
merly he had in trying to obliterate
it- ' - ??? - . ??
Alter tnree years retirement and
meditation in Arabia, Paul returned
to Palestine. Within a few years he
was brought to Antioch by Barnabas
and shortly thereafter began his great
missionary activity, which did more to
bring Christianity to the western world
than the labors of any other man.
Three great missionary tours consum
ed his years and left as their fruit well
established Christian churches thru
out Asia Minor, Greece, and other
regions. The Book of Acts contains a
brief account of these epoch -making
journeys, giving us short outlines of
some of the great sermons preached
by this enthusiastic missionary.
When Paul first appeared on the
scene Christainity had not yet been
definitely separated from Judaism. At
that time there was, as Dr. Wilbur M.
Smith points out, "no Church law, no
Church program, and no formula for
the conduct of Christian believers.
The deeper consequences of accepting
Christ as they related to personal life,
domestic life, business pursuits, nation
al patriotism, and the great problems
of society of the days of Paul, had
not yet been stated. [The Christian
Church awaited some powerful genius
to arise In its midst who by the lead
ing of the Holy Spirit would guide the
Church out of its confinements into a
glorious vision of its possibilities and
powers. This man appeared In Saul
of Tarsus and how he came to be the
greatest single Christian that has ever
appeared on earth is one of the mo6t
fascinating stories ever recorded."
As an author Paul wrote much of
the New Testament, thirteen epistles
constituting the major part. First and i
second Thessalonians priobably came
first from Corinth, then the two let
ters to the Corinthians. Galatians fol- 1
lowing and the Romans considered it i
his greatest epistle. While in prison :
at Rome he wrote the remaining sev- >
en. In these writings Paul laid down
the principle theological tenets of the
Christian church.
"Paul is the only man in the New
Testament, except Jesus, whom we
wouud immediately enroll among the
great," says Charles E. Jefferson. "By
the mass of his personality, he won a
place above all others. What the sec
ond century did, the twentieth cen
tury is doing likewise. It is giving the
supreme place to Paul. More books
have been written about Paul within
the last fifty years than about all the
other apostles combined. Hie ages
have produced a great company of
thinkers and hearers, of saints and of
martyrs, but none of them has been
able to write his name above the name
of Paul."
"Of all the men of the first cen
tury, incomparably great was the Apos
tle Paul," says Sir William M. Ram- '
say. "No other man exercised anything
like so much power as he did In mould
ing the future of the Empire. Among i
the imperial ministers of the period i
there appeared none that had any \
claim to the name of statesman ex- j
cept Seneca; and Seneca fell as far j
short of Paul in practical Influence ?
and Intellectual Insight as he did in ^
moral character. Had It not been for i
Paul ? if one may guess at what might
have been ? no man would now remem
ber Roman and Greek civilization. ,
Barbarism proved too powerful for the ,

THE HUMAN BRAIN
We have seen that the brain is a
telephone switchboard so complicated,
that the human mind cannot compre
hend it. Dr. C. Judson Herrick says
that "to count these connections, the
telephone lines of the brain, one runs
into figures so r stupendous that it mak
es the astronomical figures dealing
with hundreds of light years seem by
comparison mere kindergarden arith
metic. To write the approximate num
ber of these connections the mere fig
ure "one" would have to be followed
by 15,000,000 ciphers. Just to write
the number once would occupy about
30 full sized 350 page books. This is
a conservative estimate and includes
only the outer layer of the brain."
Herrick concludes that " if the whole
brain is a telephone exchange the
brain cell itself is an electro-chemical
organism, that is a sort of electric
battery." When the brain is active.
Bind is, whenever we think or feel ? it
generates more activity, and the chem
ical activity becomes greater. But how
these electro-chemical processes In the
brain cells create the miracle of mind
is something that the scientists find
as mysterious as ever."
In this present state of existence
the brain is the instrument through
which the mind operates. A deterior
ated brain cannot function normally.
Our insane asylums and prisons are
crowded with people who have diseas
ed brains.
It is a curious fact that so many
people are deliberately pursuing cour
ses that damage their brains perma
nently. Many of them are indulging
in drugs that impair their mental
faculties. Shakespeare says: "Oh, that
men should put an enemy in their
mouth, to steal away their brains."
The faculty of thinking and reason
ing is located in the cerebrum or front
ot the brain "the top and frontal por
tion." At the base of the skull is the
:erebrum or little brain where the
mimal instincts are located.
Physicians know that certain poi
sons have an effect upon certain por
tions of the body. Alcohol has a very
definite selective affinity for the high
er brain cells of the cerebrum. It
depresses or puts to sleep the nobler
faculties of the mind, paralyses the
will power, and puts the man who is
under its influence at the mercy of his
animal instincts. The little brain is
now deprived of the controlling pow
er of reason and may be likened to
maddened young runaway horses, af
ter the driver has been thrown from
his seat, and his guiding and restrain
ing hands have been torn from the
reins and he lies prostrate in the mud
by the roadside. Alcohol has destroyed
his reason. The higher brain is paraly
zed and his animal instincts run a
muck because he has poisoned and par
alyzed his brain with alcohol .
