Mr. Hibbert has accepted, sub- ject to the approval of the Stationing committee. Those who say that the Bible is not a book for up to date men should read the testimony of Samuel Sloan, one of the great railroad magnates of the past generation: "I know of no better guide for the young man who wants to steer clear of failure than the Bible, s The good old Book has lost none of its helpfulness in the on -rolling of the centuries, and is today the best chart life's stormy sea, It is the custom of extant for the youthful voyageur on some men to sneer at the teaching of Holy Writ, but they are not the men who have attained the greatest heights in either business or society. Let the young man study the wisdom of the Bible, and acquaint himself with its naked, strenuous truth, and he cannot go far wrong. Fortified by a sound, moral self -training, the business man of today will never know the real bitterness of failure and the lives of those who go down in the struggle for existence will be to such a young man a perpetual wonder," 7 Return Limit, September 30tb, 1912, Full partioulaos from any C.
