BIBLE LECTORtS WELL ATTENDED Perfect Interpretation ot Bible by Prof. Fritsch Has Be¬ come Profitable by Class The :\londay evening Bible class conducted by Prof. R. R. Fritsch, of Muhlenberg College, in which all the churches of town, and many in the outlying districts of .Xazareth. unite, continues to draw people in increas¬ ing numbers. The class has not only become popular. If that were all, it would fall in its purpose, but It is most profitable. .Many who had lit¬ tle or no Interest In the precious truths of God are stirred and stimu¬ lated to search whether the things are true whereof Prof. Fritsch speaks. Whereas spiritual results cannot always be tabulated, we have the promise ot God ".My Word shall not return unto Me void, but it shall ac¬ complish that which I please, and it shall prosper In the thing whereto 1 sent it," And the Holy Spirit through the .Ajiostle also says "For the Word of God is quick and pow¬ erful, and sharper than any iwa- edg.d sword, iiicning even to tlie di¬ viding asunder e,f soul and siiirit. and 01" tile joint.- an.l raiirri.w. and .a discerner of tiie tlioucliis and in¬ terns i;f the heart." Prof. Fritsch accejits the Bible as tb,- iiierrani Word of God, and is a master in the infcrpretalion of tb,. same. The Holy Spirit has wonderfully gifted and endowed him with tbe power of sidritual discernment. God is mightily using him in wielding the "Sword of the Sjurit. which is tlie Word of God," and placing before his audience life eternal through the blood of Christ on Calvary. He believes that "'.Ml Scripture is given by insiiiration of God, and is profitable tor doctrine, tor reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." Thus to the honor and glory ot God and the salvation of souls he is witnessing to the truth as it Is in Christ ,IesHS. (iyninasiiiin in Use.

God refused to have any¬ thing to do with the making of big cities. Such a work he lett to dirt- loving, smoke-loving, nolseloving, crime-loving, graft-loving, e.xcite- ment-loving man: not man living In the image of God (such as is found in small country towns) but superficial, money-mad, harried, nervous, dys- pectic man who is born a chronic grouch and who dies the death of the embittered. God refused to have anything to do with the making of big cities because he knew in advance of their founders what destroyers of character, what perverters of happi¬ ness, what desecraters of homes they would prove to be, and we all know- that God puts His trade-mark on only the good, the -worthy and the idealis¬ tic, God made the country and ^mall country towns because he knew ihat there would congregate tbe type of men and women in whom would he found the embodiment of all that is really worth-while In life. God wished that there should be a Para¬ dise on earth—so he made small small finest citizens of the nation were born and reared. He saw to it that living condl'lons in small towns were made ideal. He saw to It that only home-loving, cora- iiiunity-Io ¦ r. and characterful men, .men and children should populate -.•¦!i places. He saw to it that ilu-se I .'iiple should i..issess those qualities tha' go to make life worth ll.Ing; - uch riualitles as cheerfulness, hon¬ est v. sinceritv. generosity and human 'in,Iness He saw to If that the dol- - imponant though it is, was made I ondary to tho great triumvirate of "i-bl.

If ¦ Cod had had His way, He would have fashioned many more small town* ! than he did, but pushing, grastiing, struggling, selfish man carved out wicked cities where true happiness ts unknown. Why is It that the great majority nf our men famous In letters, busi¬ ness, statesmanship and philanthropy come from the small country towns?

It is wondered as to just limits of influence of Week Day Religious Ed¬ ucation. During the past lyear this work h.is doubled and trebled: no two communities seem to follow the same scheme. Last year over 5000 students received instruction in six centres. This year the oiusiaiiiliiig efforts are at Harrisburg and :!ii> Xorth Boroughs at Pittsburgh
Harrisburg is operating under tbe denominational grouji plan. It is too early lo report success but the pro¬ ject is sound and gives promise of making a real contribulion towards citizenship, for by this plan every denomination is responsble for the religious lite ot its own children.
The program of reading for Sun¬ day School teachers has already been maiiped out tor the coming year.
