PRACTICAL SURVEY,
Topic -The Bible: what it Is and
how to make it our- own.
I. The Bible,
II. What it is.
III. How to 'make it our owu.
1. The Bible -The word Bible in Rs
ortgival signitcance means book, with-
out reference to oharacter or contents.
Its use has, however, become limited
to the one volume claiming divine
origin, and about which ltuman hearte
and hopes Centre as about nes otter
ever written. _
If. What it is. The Bible presents
its credentials as the word or God. It
claims a superhuman origin. "All
scripture is given 1»' inspiration of!
God," Its contents support its asser-
tions. It "Is profitable for doctrine,
for reprOof, for Instruction in righte-
ousness," Its unity is evidence of a
single anthorship, though its prepara-
tion covered generations, and its
numerous writers were as widely sep-
arated in tline az they were diverse
In temperameat and training. .Apa:t
from its intense moral significance, its
unrivalled superiority as literature
attests its divine origin. No human
Production approaches it. The account
of the origin and destiny of the race
is altogether the most scientific and
eatiefaetory of any yet proposed. Its
poetry is the most sublime, andits
philosophy the most profound. It has
yet to be convicted of scientific in-
correctness, ana archaeological re•
se,arch is prig its much -disputed
Watery to be authentic. The Bible
eontains a complete code of morals for
every relation in life, and proves itself
true in individual experience. It has
a -world-wide message, for it meets a
universal need, and Christ's last com-
mission embraces every individual.
The Bible Is tne text book of Chris-
tianity. Apart from its revelation
there is no fouudation tor Christian
faith, The Material universe bears
witness to the "eternal power and
Godhead" of its Creator, but wisdom
and power are all it cm diselese. The

eome acquainted with at. No book is
lt) necessary and none so neglected. Ils
plave is that of close and amstant
companionShip. 'Give attendance to
reading." "Meditate upon those
thing's." The Bible, invites inspection.
It welcomes the most profound and
searching inquiries the human heart
ean trame, and answers unhesitatingly.
Jesus challenged a comparison of his
claims with. the declarations of this
word. "Search the scripLuree
thee- are they which testify of me."
Aluch criticism originates in ignore
mice. Increased acquaintance begets
respect, and awakens love, "0 how
love I thy law! it is my meditation
all,the day," See also Heat. 6: H.
Accept its message. The Bible dis-
elosee truths wieen the human heart
is reluctant to accept. The Inclusive-
ness at the divine claims; tte univer-
sality and depth of human depravity
are Unwelcome but fundamental
truths. Its message of grace is to the
despairing. Jesus "came not to call
the righteous, but sinners." 'They
that ate whet° have ne aced of the
Physician," It ceudemns that it may
juttify; and begets deaptir that it may
aWaken a "sure hope." Obey its pre
cepts. The Bible challenges the PlOv•
ing af its pledges. God appeals to the
reason, and asks a trial of his pro.
mins (Isa, 1: 18).

LEGUME HAY ITS VALUE ON THE FARM

The seeding is all done and the

Many people do not appreciate Go
value of our annual hay crop. They
have been counting waeat as the
great consideration, and yet the hay
crop is one of our most important
praducts. In 1917 It reached the
amonut of fourteen per cent. of the
grand total for field craps, With the

The clovers and legumes in genet.,
al have characteristics which set
tbem apart from other fodder and
forage plants. The cereal grains are
relatively rich in carbohydrates in
comparison to their ingredients. This
also applies to grasses and silage. Le-
gumes, on the other hand, are rich
in crude protein and thus are espe-
cially a,daptez1 as a food for a grow-
ing animal,eas they serve for building
up the lean ,meat or muscle. Their
high lane content alsa allows the
young animal plenty of mineral mat-
ter with which to build up strong
bone. Animals in full milk and re-
quiring, large amounts of lime are
benefited by having legume's added to
their ration. As a plass they form a
balanced ration when fed with feeds
high in carbohydrates, such as corn
silage, or the cereals,
Red clover makes fine hay and af-

ond crop serVes for the production ot

gives a good crop ot hay, and the af-
termath forties pasture for all stock
in late summer where it le not tots

alfalfa is not so desirable. When it
has been cured properly it forms one
of the best roughages for farm stock,

most ash for bone requirement in the

the woody matter or fibre increases

trients are lost by the gathering of

ience we prefer, however, to cut the

have turned brown. At this time the

It Is certain, too, that the DritiPh
and allied air activity has set all
German high coMmena wondering
about the possibilities of attacks. In
the recent daya the enemy aviators
have made strenuous attempts et a
recounaisance over the British Mies.
While at would be unwise to conjec-
ture that the enemy offensive has
been bald up by Um highly successful
work of the Britielt air forces, it is
certain that serious inconvenience is
felt by the Germans, and that it is
more difficult for them to effect their
concentrations with seereee.
In this lull in the battle Ilindenberg
and Luaendorff are trying to out -guess
the Alliel general staff. The Cler-
mans taken prisoners recently Llama
that tbe German hign command has
issued orders that no crops within the
allied line and near the battle area
must be injured, as they hope to
gather the tensest in the event of a
further advance. But there are no
such orders issued about saving the
numerous towns withal, gun and bomb-
ing range.

URGES TUNNEL
UNDER CHANNEL
Favoring Resolution Carried
Unanimously
-At International Parlia-
mentary Conference.
London cable; Strong support for
the Englisb Channel tunnel scheme
was voiced yesterday by French and
Italian delegates at the International
Parliamentary Conference here. A.
resolution in favor of constructing the
tunnel was carried unanimously.
It was estimated by the sponsors of
the resolution that the passenger traf-
fic front France at one end -would 'ue
3,000,000 personseanatualy, instead of
the 100,000 that travelled by steamer
before the war, The probable passen-
ger and freight traffic between Great
Britain and the continent was figured
at a profit of X1,118,000, or sevemt per
cent. on the tunnel company's capital
ot X16,000,000.
The tunnel, which should be com-
pleted -wattle five yeara of its com-
mencement, would be worked, ventil-
ated and pumped by electricity sup.
plied 'from a power station in Keat,
pose:ley ten miles or more inland, it
was suggested that the tunnel should
be maintatned under the authority of
the War Orrice'and that a dip in rite
level of the rails forming a water lock,
by which the tunnel could in ease of
emergency, be flooded from floor to
roof for a mile, should be under the
control, of the commandants at Dover
Castle (Le the tteighboring forts.
Against the danger from enemy sub-
marines, depth bombs or mines, tile
twine' would be protected by a cover-
ing of the chalk bed of the CIannel
oo a minimum thickness of 190 fem.
The water depth above the tunnel
would be at no Vulnerable less than
10 fact.
