It has got to meet the tests of the day,” declares Rev. Dr. Earl B. Cross, pastor of the First Baptist church, who is to begin a series of four lectures next Wednesday even- ing on the subject of the Holy Bible. These lectures will be open to public and will be given each Wednesday ecvening for a month. They are to be introdyctory to =2 special course in biblical study which Dr. Cross is to inaugurate. Regarding his course of lectures Dr. Cross states that among many people there is an inherited feeling that the Bikle is a peculiarly sacred instrument which cannot be touched and must be believed explicitly, re- gardless of personal opinions or scientific proofs to the contrary. In the pastor’s opinion this is not ' al- together true and in his series he proposes to trace the history of the Bible and show just how it grew into the book it is today. Later he will organize a class to study the book in | the same analytical manner that any lterary work is studied. To show that it has stood the tests of ages | and to prove that it is worh some- thing to everybody. Dr. Cross will give a comprehensive discourse upon the subjebt. In tracing the growth and develop- ment of the Bible the clergyman will | show that its ‘earliest pages may pos- sibly contain some element of error | idasmuch as the time with which they deal were long before the age of printing or accurate records. ‘The Bihle has got to stand on its own feet and not be enclosed In a glass case. It must meet the tests of the day, or it 18 worth but little,” says Dr. Cross. Along this line he will attempt to show the thoroughly modern view of the Bible. This series of lectures, as well as the subsequent study of the Bible, will be of interest to the Bible student, as yell as to the student of literature. Dr. Cross, in addition to having a thorough knowledge of the Christian | Bible, is well educated on the old Hebralc literature and will thorough- ly discuss the old testament, bring- | ;. the allases. of Lawrence Farroll, ing its salient points to. the nttentlon of the modern eye.

Bamfgrth today. Shortly before Christmas week, local banks and au- thorities recelved warnings to be on the lookout for the much-wanted man, who was reported as again belng ac- tive. The arrest was made by the de- tectives on charges alleging the pass- ing of $3,000 worth of bogus checks on New York concerns shortly before Christmas, Before the investigation is _completed it is expected to prove forgeries to the extent of more than $76,000. The accused is known by The prefix “Christmas’” because he al- ways selected Christmas week as the time to most generously circulate $200 «counterfeit traveiers’ checks drawn on the Canadian of Torontg, Canada. Plans of the authorities are to first bring him back to New York for ar- raignment. He generally went under B. Dunham, J. A. Paget, M. J. Martin, G. H.

The real backers and promoters of the lquor trafic iIn Maine, those affluent and ostensibly respectable outlaws both within and outside our state, who organized the systematic deflance of our laws in , the interest of their own selfish greed, deserve nothing but the contempt of all deocent citizens. “The dominant party in Maine is definitely. committed to state and na- tional prohibition and to the honest enforcement of the prohibitory law.
