el rre———— s e o SO0 - —_— SAYS WELLY' BIBLE NOT SATISFACTORY Original Is Gold Mine, Modern Literature a Product While new things are valuable, and & new Bible such as H, G, Wells pro- poses with Lincoln's Gettysburg ad- dress, the Declaration of Indepen- dence, poems from Longfellow and Whittier, Tennyson, and the best of the Bible as it now is, would make a4 wonderful book, it could not take the place of the one and only Bible, in the opinion of Rev. John L. Davis. Rev. Mr. Davis, in his address to the John L. Davis Bible class at the Y. M. C. A. last evening took as his theme: “Do We Need a New Bible?" He spoke of H. G. Wells' book: “Salvaging Civilization,” where the writer proposes the new Bible con- taining the best of all nations, and said he questioned whether Wells or ?n.\;:\no else knew what he would put n it The Gold Mine. “At its best,” he said, "It would be an artificial thing. The value of the Rible lies in its age." He com- “pared the Bible to the early pioneers who blazed a trail across the con- tinent so later generations could travel in luxurious Pullman trains. The Bible blazed the trail through the unexplored wildernds of litera- ture and the modern, polished, up-to- date poems were made possible be- cause of it. “The Bible is like the gold mine," he continued, “and the modern poem like the gold dollar. Both are beau- tiful and both are desirable. The dollar is more polished and we all like to have it, but before we can get it someone must blast through the rugged sides of the gold mine and extract the gold.” “The Horse Fair.” He applied a similar illustration to the famous painting, ‘The Horse Fair,” The picture is worth a for- tuney its market value is far in ex- cess of the value of the horse which was painted. but after all it is only a picture of the real horse. The modern poem s beautiful. often its market value exceeds the Bible, but it is only a reflection of the literary value of the real Bible, “Who will ever say unything finer than the Golden Rule?” he demanded. Golden Rule. “We will hear the Golden Rule quoted a million years from now, and than the world won’'t even be up to it, let alone passing it out. There are not two finer articles in English literature than the 13th chapter of First Corinthians on love, and the h chapter, on death. ‘Some men if they heard you were going to change their Bible would get into a stew and get all excited about it, while if you changed it and nobody told them they wouldn't miss it for 20 years.” concluded the minis ter in dlinching a point that the pres- ent generation does not read the Bible enough.

W, ‘Feb. 16 (By Mail)—The German-Australian steam- ship company proposes to resume its service to Australia as soon as the prohibition of trade with Germany is removed, it was learned today. The company's steamers were a familiar sight in Australian parts be- fore the war and carried a large share of the freight to the continent and Mediterrancan ports. Many Ger- man-Australian liners were captured during the war and now ply under the British flag and in the British merchant marine. In conjunction with the North Ger- man lLloyd the German-Australian firm intends to establish a monthly cargo service to Australia hy agree- ment with the Holt Line. Details of the arrangements have not yet reached Australia. The company will resume its South African service at the same time.
