GREAT LITERARY ACHIEVEMENTS OF BIBLE PRESENTED TO AUDIENCE BY BEVERIDGE

Boldly, yet unerringly, former Senator Albert J. Beveridge selected excerpts from passages of scripture, in his address before a large audience at the First ' English Lutheran church, Thursday night, and proved the great literary achievements of the Bible. , "Do you want to read of adventure, passion, philosophy? then read the Bible, i The Bible fits every mood and

need of the people. The short story, the most difficult of all kinds of ftetion, is to be found in the book of Ruth, and the best French writers have failed to come within gunshot of that story. Get Wrong Ideas. "How does it happen, then, that the Bible is not read more frequently? How does it happen that this storehouse is so much unread? At this point Mr. Beveridge told how the spiritual bludgeon is held over our beads until a reaction sets in, and we get the wrong idea of the Bible. Throughout his address, he skipped from one portion of the Bible to another, pointing out in turn the great Bible fiction, Bible laws, and unexampled oratory. He told the story of Isaac and Rebecca, and declared that Isaac was the frist genuine gentleman described " in literature. Dur

ing the telling of the story, he In

jected humor,, calling Isaac's desire to meditate after' expressing his desire for Rebecca, modern "cold-feet." Mr. Beveridge said that if he could

paint but one picture, he would want

it to be Isaac. . Points to Reality.

"There isn't a thing in the Bible im

agined," be said, while discussing the

reality of the scenes. "Every incident is as old as the world and as new as the future." , ; ; Calling Moses the greatest man that ever lived, he told the story of the Israelites escaping from Egypt, and about to cross the Red sea; Pharoah's army was following close upon them, then Mr.' Beveridge quoted the words of MoseB, the leader, "Fear not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord." Great Oratory. Any man who could write such words as those in this day would be proclaimed as a literary master. If there is anythng this nation needs

now it is Moses words. We need pa-1 tience, composure and faith." j From this statement Mr. Beveridge jumped to the legal necessity of knowing the Bible. "Even the politician will find the bible full of very practical instruction, while no statesman can be truly said to be equipped for his noble craft who has not carefully studied the account of tho methods of the great Kings of Israel. Senator Joseph McDonald, in whose office I studied law, never tired of saying that no lawyer is thoroughly grounded in legal science who has not mastered the laws of Moses." Tells Experience. Mr. Beveridge stopped again to tell of his experience while fighting for the meat inspection bill in the senate a number of years ago. 1 "It was in the days when I couldn't sleep if I didn't win," he smiled. "It makes no difference now as I know the sun will rise in the morning whether I win or not. I got out of bed about 2 o'clock in the morning and walked into the library. There I opened the Bible to the place where Moses has his laws regulating meat eating. "I believe firmly that Providence guided me to the place. That's the way with all Scotchmen," he humorously remarked, "always thinking God is paying particular attention to his every move. I went to President Roosevelt and explained how I felt about our food laws." Mastery of Speech. After much discussion of the wis

simple that the dullest can under

He read work of the preacher, and denounced the preached who strayed from the gospel and gave lectures or maintained his church only as a community center. "What we need is a great spiritual renewal whether it is ignorant or learned, for there is in each one of us a starving for spiritual food. Our preachers must understand that we need something different from civic lectures, even though we do " need them, I know. We must have some

thing for our souls. There is no reasoh for our churches going down just lay the finger on the human soul and give it a chance. Speaks With Emotion "Now I have spoken with greater emotion than usual, but the subject is very close to me." A banquet given by the Brotherhood class of the church preceded Mr.

Beveridge's speech. E. M. Haas presided. Mrs. F. J. Bartel sang a solo, accompanied by Miss Alice Knollenberg at the piano. Lee B. Nusbaura directed an orchestra during the banquet hour. Mr. Beveridge was to have addres

ful thing that could happen to ! any man or woman. There must j be a striving for something as long as that exists, there is some hope. But as soon as one gives up lets go then life is hopeless. For I am firmly convinced that our fate is in our own hands. No one can work out our destiny for us no one wants to. It came out in all sorts of unexpected ways. Driving from the station in the taxi, we passed through the theatre and the shopping district, every window and every sign brilliantly lit on this late winter afternoon. The shop windows held gowns of every lovely color, set like gems in a glow of golden light. Motors slid quietly by us, hundreds at a time, and people crowding home

I from work swarmed over every inch

OI pavemem. me uauciiig, iiasums, moving signs about Broadway made a midday of artificial brilliancy. "Look there," I told her, pointing to some particularly bright sign. "Un huh," she answered, glancing from the taxi windaw. "Takes a lot of lights to do that doesn't it? Did I tell you that Anne Lee has a baby? We never thought

made of silver spangles." "My land, do they wear such things? Looks like a circus," was all the enthusiasm I got. "By the yay, Laura's gettin' a new dress, blue messaline. Charlie bought some m " And so it went. Esther's whole interest was in pouring out at once the local gossip the petty details that I never cared about, but that made up the sum of our existence in Henly Falls. "I will show you the city, or some of it, after Christmas," I said. "Uh huh," she agreed, indifferently. "Such a lot of people. They make me diz zy. "Don't you love the crowds and the life and excitement and the noise and hurry ?" "Good Lord, Enid," Esther said. "Do you expect me to carry on like a school kid? I dunno's I like so many people about. Does that thing mean we have to pay that much money?" She looked at the taxi meter, which had passed the dollar mrk. I nodded and explained the taxi meter system and quieted her when phe objected to

the cost. "Tbe cars are to crowded at this hour to carry many packages on them. We never use cabs but this is an occasion."

That moll iied and pleased her and when we reached our tiny apartment she showed more interest in things. "Awully .small," was her first comment, after she had kissed (Violet. "That's one thing we like, mother," the girl said quickly. "I'm working'

mother, but,) managed to get home early tonight to start dinner." On the whole, we had a pleasant evening. Vktfet was home before six, so I Judged she had come directly and had not stopped off for tea with Bud this evening. Esther, sitting In state in ttye living room armchair, her feet "resting" in red carpet slippers, ran out her roll of gossip everything that ' happened in Henly Falls since the day we left. s"How is James?" Vi asked, busy arranging the table. "James? Oh, same as ever. Poor James, I guess he'll never be anything. Don't seem to take no interest in things, hates farm work and does as little as he can." "Does he still like machinery?" There was a little note in Violet's voice that Esther did not hear. "I spose. I dunno," she answered placidly. "Hasn't touched any or tried what he calls experiments any more not since that row last summer. I guess your father cured him good, as he said." "I imagine he did," VI answered, her blue eyes angry as she spoke. But

Esther was leaning back comfortably.)

and never knew the criticism of herself and Jim that tbe girl's voice and eyes betrayed. Helen came running up for a moment to greet Esther, and whispered something to Violet. The girl slipped out of the room. I knew it must be a telephone call, and since so much

secrecy was made of it, I knew, too, that it must be from Bud. Esther, of course, must know of this affair between Violet and Bud. I

thought perhaps when she was with j

us a few days, when she bad had

time to change her point of view a little, that I would tell her. At least, j

I would tell her that Violet was sun in love and that I thought eventually they would marry. But first we must make sure that Bud was out of his present difficulty.

Neither Esther nor Jim would ever forgive even the suggestion of dishonesty." Violet came In, her eyes troubled, her mouth' with that little trembling expression at the corners that made her so appealing to look at. She followed me back to tbe kitchen to whisper to me. "They have gotten some new evidence, and there is an investigation on tonight and the day after tomorrow, and Bud has to be at court then. Bud says if only Mr. Meade were back in town, be wouldn't mind. But he had a letter from bim, saying he would be back in time to help." Tomorrow Joy and Anxiety.
