BIBLE CONFERENCE NOTED SPEAKER PRESENT. The eight annual Bible conference of the Pleasant View Baptist church, two miles north of Wren, will be held February 15 to 20. afternoon and evenings, the speaker this year being ex-Ilabbi Max Wehtrimer, Ph. 1). Dr. Wehtrimer was one time rabbi of the synagogue of Dayton, Ohio. After a seven years’ ministry there he received a cull to the synagogue at Los Angeles, Cal., at a salary of $lO.000 annually. At the time of receiving this call lie was convinced that tlie Christ of lit? New Testament is the Messiah of the Old Testament. Mary Baker Eddy, tlie founder of Christian Science, on hearing in Boston of the conviction of this notable rabbi, wrote him a personal letter, requesting his presence in Boston for an interview at her expense. Mrs. Eddy persuaded Dr. Werthimer to pursue a course of study in tlie school of Christian Science. He did so, and graduated in two years. After his graduation lie ministered in tlie Christian Science cult for two months, but found no satisfaction for his spiritual longings. Some months later lie became a leader in tlie Spiritualists’ church. There he also became dissatisfied with the teaching which was in direct conflict to the Old Testament. In the year of 1905 a minister in Dayton, Ohio, called on him and left, a copy of the Hebrew Scriptures and a copy of the Greek New Testament, and asked him to compare the two and find if possible his obligation to the Messiah. Tlie following day lie went to this pastor and requested baptism and church membership. A short time later he entered upon a course of study at the Southern Baptist Theological seminary, Louisville, Ky„ and is a minister in that denomination since. Dr. Werthimer is not an evangelist of tlie ordinary type, hut a Bible teacher, going from place to place revealing the relation of the Old Testament to the New. He is recognized by loading pastors and expositors as one of tlie most capable American Jewish Christian Bible teachers in the United States today. Bring your Bible and come and li >ar him. H. G.

Every man, almost, might do this if he only would. The trouble is that with most people the start is deferred too long. They do not realize soon enough the necessity for saving. They do not appreciate how quickly small savings run into sums of money—and how sums of money work without ceasing to produce ether sums. People with the savings bank idea, and who would like to have the idea develop into an actuality will find this bank ready to accept their first deposit, however small.
