THE BIBLE AND I SHAKESPEARE Are Greatest Books to Men and Women Who Are Prominent in Public ■' ANSWERS TO QUERY “What Book Has Helped You Most?” by American Library Association The question "What Book Has HelpI (;d You Most?”, as addressed by the ■ New York City Executive Committe > :>f the “Books for Everybody” move- [ meut of the American Library Assoi elation to men and women promin ent in public life, has brought forth replies which, aside from the antici--1 pated general agreement on the Bible and Shakespeare, are stimulating in their range. r Clergymen declared for the Bible ’’ almost without exception, as did educators, such as Dr. John H. Finley, f commissioner of education of New York State, who said that although - iris mother died when he was eleven years old. lie had read the Bible through twice witli her, and that lie had read it from cover to cover at '• least three times in mature life. A u large body of opinion among business men in favor of the Bible is representI ed by the declaration of Jacob H. p Schiff, financier, who said that the n Mosaic Bible has influenced his life o .. more than any other book. “Tlie Bible and Shakespeare,” said ’■ David Belasco, ‘‘contain the great poetry and the great truths.” John Drew , finds that out of the catholic experience of the theatre Shakespeare em- ’• erges as the most determining book. *■ Arthur Brisbane, journalist, said that p • , a six-pence edition of Shakespeare in smallest print and poorest paper, had A been his only English book at a boy(I hood school in France, where none lull ir lie spoke a word of English. Ho read it over and over, picking out tile fights P- and other incidents which appealed to him as a boy of fifteen. ~ On the expressed assumption that the Bible and Shakespeare were too obvious an influence on life and thought, a number of replies gave secT! j ond choices. "Two books which exx- erted great influence over me in my : youth," sifid Dr. Lyman Abbott, “arc, 'My Father's Young Christian’, from ( l which I derived much of my faith in ( ]. tlie simplicity of Christianity and ‘Fos /> tor's Essay on Decision of Character’ which helped me to acquire tlie courage necessity to accept l lie respon ,f sibility for my own life.” Next to the Bible, her mother’s "Pilgrim's Prog‘a ress” had the most profound effect on -Mrs. Helen Gould Shepard, of Now ib York City. Carlyle's “Heroes and Ho i.l ro Worship” and a little book of selee ,s tions from Browning went home very powerfully to Chancellor Elmer E p , ( 1 Brown of New York University, at an e. age when he was most open to im l p i rossions. Women in general revealed more .„ shades of opinion. The poems of Al frod Tennyson opened the door to ro i f rnance and history and chivalry for Theodosia Garrison, who is Mrs. Lind ley M. Garrison. A prominent worn h an lawyer of New York City still reads “Alice in Wonderland” to fortify her- ' self for the prosecution of a case; she considers tlie courtroom scene of the o trial of tlie Mad Hatter the finest a piece of satire in literature. Mrs Bernard E. Pollak, president of the National League cf Girls’ clubs, ha. n reutrned again and again to Emerson’s 8 essays and to Omar Khayyam. Mrs r lames Lees Laidlaw, a director of , the League of Women Voters of New k York City, thinks that Herbert Spenn cer and Emerson “licked her mind into n shape.” A prominent social worker rives first place "o George Eliot's i, "The Mill on the Floss.” a Hamilton Holt, editor of the Indc II pendent, thinks that "Les Miserables" I is “more kinds of a great book than r any other lie has ever read.” Among i several men cf note who declared 1 themselves unable to answer the 1 query was Thomas A. Edison, who i found his reading too largely tech t nical and one-sided to permit a satis-1 factory answer. e Tlie Hog Island shipyard has boon I t purchased by the government at what j 5 the corporation paid for it. MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS Notice is iiereby given that the an-] anal meeting of tlie stockholders of j the Old Adams County Bank will be ] held at their banking house, Decatur, Indiana, at 10:00 o'clock a. m. on Tuesday, August 3, 1920, for the purpose of electing nine directors to serve for the ensuing year, ' and to transact such other business as may come before them. , E.
