SLOAN, KERR, AND DUNCAN MACRAE, AGENTS ADDRESS BY DR. EDWIN MIMS (Continued from page one) what Phillips Brooks found in it the full biography of man, yourself a microcosm in which are summed all the agfes of the past. You shall walk alontr the hijfh table-lands of Philosophy, communing: with the mighty seers of all ares and reach insr out toward the infinite. You shall find in your study of social problems that which will fit you for citizenship in a Christian com monwealth. Literature, ancient and modern, shall quicken your imagi nation, increase your sympathies with all sorts and conditions of men, and supply a moral dynamic to you in all the struggles of life. Walk ing: in these beautiful groves and on the tops of these hills you shall per ceive anew the glory of the natural world. In 3Tour Christian fellow ships in this Association you shall know something of the ties that bind men together in a common cause. "Along with all these other forces that make for the enlarg- ment and enrichment of life you will find the Bible at once the greatest revelation of God to man, and the greatest inspiration for the duties of life. I cannot hope to say any- thing: new or even iresti upon so old a subject, but I hope that dur ing this hour we may all feel the real significance of an intelligent and vital study of God's Word. I wish this afternoon that we might catch something of the spirit that men had when for the first time they were admitted into the treas ures of the wonderful Book as ex pressed in our own language." Dr. Mims then told the story of the first Bible Class at Oxford University and traced its influence on the English people. Continuing he said: "I havedwelt thus at length upon the influence of the Bible on indi vidual, and national life in those early days when the Bible first made its appeals to the English people, that I might impress upon you the transforming power of a great creative Book, when studied with diligence and devotion and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The same results will follow when any man or set of men or nation comes in first hand contact with this mar velous Book. But you may say, we have during the last fifty years changed our view of the Bible, We no longer look upon it as the infalli ble book; we have gone a long way from the simple faith of Puri tanism. I speak to some today who have become indifferent, if not an tagonistic to the Bible because of the attacks that have been made upon it by science and criticism. I say to you today tint modern study of the Bible has but added to its value as a great power in men's lives. I have no patience whatever with the bigotry and the blindne-s of men who will ' not accept the truth of devout and honest school ars. I am in thorough sympathy with all that modern scholarship has done to throw litrht uoon the I T I 4 scriptures, oeiieve we have not begun to realize what we owe to the patient, plodding scholar: who have applied to all parts o il DILI. i i r . ine Dime me metnoas or tne scien tific spirit. We know our Bibl better now than we ever knew i before because men have worked out the setting- and characterise features of the style, the author ship, the text of each book of the Bible. Men who think no longer consider the Bible as a final au thority on chronology, or history or science. Ihey no longer look upou all portions of the Bible as o equal value or authority. More and more we shall see that revela tion is most progressive, that insoi- ration involves human individuality, and that the nnal authority in the Bible as in all other books is the life and teachings of Christ. But in our insistency upon these ideas we are apt to grow indifferent. An academic community especially must guard against a tendency to emphasize the non-essentials at the expense or the essentials. The Bible remains, after all the changes that have come in our views of it, the great unique Book of the world so different from others in the degree of its inspiration as to command our most enthusiastic and intelligent study. After all that we know of science, we must feel that the first verse of Genesis is still the interpretation of the begin ning of things, that the 1 19th Psalm is the anthem of the material uni verse, and that the words of the Almighty to Job are a perpetual rebuke to the intellectual pride of man. I am quite sure that there are two Isaiahs, but that they are both of supreme value as interpre tations of God's dealings with man There are incidents in the history of the Jews that are abhorrent to one of high moral sense and there are interpretations of God that do not conform with Christ's revelation of God... But it still . remains true that the history of the Hebrew race from Abraham to Malachai is the most marvelous record of God's dealings with a race. With all that we may say of the variety of books, there is still an essential unity from Genesis to Revelations. For these reasons the Bible commands our admiration and love as much as it Plain Talks on Fertilizers Increasing and Safeguarding the Wheat-Crop The use of com mercial fertilizers on the wheat crop is year ly becoming more general proof enough that it pays, and pays well. Too many farmers, however, use fertilizers without due regard for the special needs of their soils. Often they buy the cheapest grades. Or they use very small quantities. That such unscientific of fertili- use zers has proved profitable indi cates what it can accomplish for wheat grow ers if used more carefully and intelli gently. The best way to learn just what fertilizers will pay you best is to ' make com parative tests on a small scale with your soils then use a RJt iff sufficient amount and you will undoubtedly increase not only the average yields, but your profits as well.
