HUXLEY —HE DID NOT KNOW
Altogether the languages and dia
letcs In which the Bible, either in
whole or In substantial part, is in the
hands of the people number about
five hundred, with a billion possible
readers.
jow difficult this rendering of the
Scriptures into strange tongues hus
been may be illustrated by some of
the odd printings in our language.
We have the "breeches" Bible, in
which the aprons of Adam and Eve
are thus translated; the "treacle"
Bible in which "Is there no balm in
Qllead?" is translated "is there no
treacle, (or molasses) in Gilead?";
the "bug" Bible, with an Infelicitous
rendering of "creeping things," and
the "wicked" Bible, with the im
portant word "not" Emitted from
the seventh commandment. If, with
the finest scholarship and the ut
most care, such Infelicities have oc
curred in our own tongue, imagine
the obstacles to a clear understand
ing of the gospel message in heathen
tribes.
The man who invented the term
"agnostic" was" Thomas H. Huxley,
the scientist. He did not deny, he
merely did not profess to know. As
In the early Christian centuries
there were certain sects that pro
fessed knowledge and called them
selves "Gnostics," he. admitting ig
norance, called himself an "Agnos
tic." He was a member of the Lon
don school board, and the question
was raised concerning the use of the
Bible In the schools. It was general
ly supposed that he would oppose It.
In The Contemporary Review for
December, 1871, he said:
I have always been strongly In
favor of secular education, in the
sense of education without theo
logy, but I must confess I have
been no less seriously perplexed to
know by what practical measures
the religious feeling, which is the
essential basis of conduct, was to
be kept up In the present utterly
chaotic state of opinion on these
matters without the use of the
Bible.
Take the Bible as a whole, make
the severest deductions which fair
criticism can dictate for shortcom
ings and positive errors, as a sensi
ble lay teacher would do if left to
himself, all that is not desirable
for children to occupy themselves
with, and there still remains in
this old literature a vast residum
of moral beauty and grandeur.
And then consider the great his
torical fact, that for three cen
turies this book has been woven
into the life of all that is best and
noblest in English history; that it
has become the national epic of
Britain, and is familiar to noble
and simple from John o' Groat's
House to Land's End, as Dante and
Tasso were once to the Italians;
that it is written in the noblest
and purest English, and abounds
in exquisite beauties of a merely
literary form.

From Your Doctor
if the "Pain" Remedy
You Take Is Safe.
Don't Entrust Your

Well - Being to Unknown
Preparations
BEFORE you take any prepara
tion you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it —in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-culled "pain" remedies were ad
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspiriir largely changed
medical practice
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin yeaf
in and out without ill effect, have
proved that the medical finding!
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayw
Aspirin is rated amory the fattest
methods i/et discovered for the relief
of headaches and all common pain#
... and safe for the average person
to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store simply by uovw
asking for it by the name "aspirin
sloue, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.
Bayer Aspirin
could children be so much human
ized, and made to feel that each
figure In that vast historical pro
cession fills, like themselves, but a
momentary space In the Interval
between two eternities, and earns
the or the curses of all
times, according to its efforts to
do good and hate evil, even as
they also are earning their pay
ment for their work?
Walter L. Main Circus
Coming To Yadkinville
The Walter L. Main Circus which
will exhibit in Yadkinville for one
day only, October 5, carries many
of the greatest circus features In cir- (
otisdoni today, and number among ,
their personnel of performers, some -
of the outstanding acts of the world.
It seems that Walter L. Main, who
is known to almost every circus per
former as the "Governor" has sent 1
more performers to the top of the
ladder than any other showman on
earth, seems to have the nack of
picking just the right kind of acts
to give the maximum amount of en
tertainment for both the old as well
as the young, and that is one of the
reasons that the Walter L. Main Cir
•cus enjoys such a tremendous
amount of popularity wherever
shown for the past fifty-years that
N#r Main has been presenting cir
cus performances in America, and it
seems that each succeeding season
it takes to the road in the spring,
that popularity seems to increase,
which is shown by the added at
tendance by the old-timers as well
as the younger generation, and It is
no easy matter to put together a
well-balanced, smooth-running cir
cus performance due to the necessity
of considering every detail such as
the putting up and taking down of
each kind of rigging used by var
ious acts before the next act can
start and many other details that
the general public does not think of.
Among the many features this sea
son is the great LaMar troupe of
aerial performers who in presenting
their daring, death defying stunts
high up in midair will thrill and
send chills chasing each other up
and down the spines of the most
hardened thrill seekers,and would put
the "man on the flying trapeze" to
shame, and the grandeur and splen
dor of their glittering, bespangled
wardrobe make them one of the out
standing acts of its kind in America
today.
There are many other features too
numerous to mention such as ani
mals, clowns, acrobats, wirewalkers,
dogs, ponies, herds of elephants, and
droves of camels, making up a full
two hours' performance that will
please every amusement-loving per
son. There will be two performances
at 2:00 and 8:C0 P. M., rain or shine.
