Hill Will Speak Sunday Xlght The history of the English Bible -will be ghown with 52 pictures and lecture In Christ Church Sunday night at eight o'clock. The same pictures nd lecture will be given in the Episcopal Chapel at Camden on Wednesday, night, September 20, at 7.30 p. m. "We of this generation," says the Rev. George F. Hill, "Inherited the English Bible among other priceless things of the past and like other things, the compass and so on, we use it without giving thought to those of another time who labored, fought andSied that we might en joy it. We not only fail to remem ber them in gratitude but most of us know nothing about them what ever. "It was not until the 13th century that our "Bible" was given the name we know it by. Before the Bible existed as we now know it there were many battles among the lead ing Christians as to which of the hundreds of Christian writings, or books, should be combined and used as THE Book and as the only state ment of the truth to be taught by the Church. Hundreds of bibles were advocated by different schools, each one composed of different col lections of writings, and it seems only by Divine oversight that the one we now universally read should have been the one selected out of so many as the only true one for our one and only Holy Bible. 1 "The oldest manuscript known to : man of our Bible, the one nearest! in time to the original writings, of which none exist Is what Is known as the Codex Vatloanus and was written some time after 367 A. D. It includes several books which our Bible of today does not include. This most ancient of the Bible manu scripts Is now In the Vatican Library at Rome." rEXSACOIiA 1'APKH SOLI) Tensacola, Sept. 15 (By The As sociated Press) The Journal of this city today was sold by Mrs. Lois Mayes to John II.

Also for the as surance of your faith in my boy. You have not criticized but have proven that you also grieve with us for the terrible mistake my boy made. Everyone that knew J. D. loved him, because he was lovable. His soul was white and clean, he was honest and honorable something, God knows what, Influenced and pverpowered him. Hundreds have voluntarily expressed this belief in him. They have come to me and told me this. They did not He to me. They told me what their hearts and faith prompted them to. Even this morning the President of the Carolina Banking & Trust Company, Dr. Pendleton, came to me and said my boy was an honest boy yet, that Influence of associates caused him to make this terrible mistake. He was employed in the postal service under Dr. Pendleton, before the late war. Nearly everyone has seemed to try to lighten our burden with words of comfort, visits and their acts of kindness. We have been over whelmed with a sense of the deepest gratitude for all these tokens of true friendship. Practically the whole community seem to be our dearest friends and helped to administer the balm of Gilead to our crushed and aching hearts. We believe, we know, our boy will some day come to himself and in an honorable way make good. J. I). SYKES, SR.
