By WILLIAM JEAMXGS BRVAN. (Intnnmtloim! lon for June 2o.) Since the first of the year our weekly bible talks have been based! on passaites from the old The cast of characters has included towering giants of faith and serv ice, vacillating characters, and kings who sold themselves to evil. At this point is it not worth while to pause a moment and consider, oVtesta Hp 8 While rhriatintv to Ph ih 11 ly. 1.S vlZ tniist, tne new testament rests aPOUt -SELFISH NESS "LAY I lOU YOI IWKLVEH THKASl Itl'H IX HEAVEN." Thla la aomelhlng that might be called divine selfishness. It'i rather atartllng, isn't it? Hern Is a definite and deliberate word of God telling men lo lay up something for themselves.

Well, how shall we go about it? The first thing we think of is that our hands are dirty and we cannot handle heavenly treasure, You know that's you earthly man you, don't you? How shout, getting them clean just as you would for handling ar.y precious thing you don't want to soil? It's strange, but the best way lo cleanse your hands Is to get your heart clean and the only thing that can cluansn that is the blood of Jesus. God says that the blood of Jesus Christ, his son, us from all sin us, who believe that It does. So earthyman, believe what Clod says about his son, and your hands will be clean and you will immediately be able to lay up treasure with divine selfishness. It's reasonable, Isn't It, and the t-easure well, it's some treasure, believe me, no, don't believe me, believe Him Head the bible tor yourself and see what, treasure It unfoldtf. Copyright, lPIt A.

Without the old testament we wnnlH not hnve the simnle account of creation which, tho expressed In hut a few words, has withstood 1118 ssaults ot ali material for thousands of years. Three sen- fences from Genesis comprehend more of vital truth than has been r. mo u' rihu's the alnha of all history. It is impossible a xS behind It, and no one has yet been able to substitute anything for It or to add anythin? to it.

It mocks the wisdom of the worldly wise and baffles the inquiries of the curious. Iteproiluction Affording to Kind, Second, reproduction according to kind: "And God said. Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the, earth after his kind: and it wasi so." This states the law of reproduc-i tion which the materialists have for centuries tried in vain to overthrow. Darwin endeavored to substitute reproduction nearly according to kind, but with variation enough to permit of change from species to species. His hypothesis is based upon the assumption shown by experiment to be groundless that slight variations accumulate until new species are developed.

Everybody, everywhere, and at all times sees evidence of reproduction according to kind, but nobody at any time or in any place has ever found any evidence of any other kind of reproduction. The latest word on this subject come3 from Prof. Bateson, of Great Britain, an eminent scientist, who recently crossed the Atlantic at the invitation of the American So ciety for the Advancement, ot Rci- ence. On the 2Sth of December last he addressed the members of this society at Toronto on the subject of evolution, his address being published in the January issue of Science. In that address this eminent scientist pathetically described all the efforts that had been made alone various nromislne lines to LOgan Avftmif.

Without the old testament we would have an incomplete view of the plan of salvation; those who speak in the new testament assume In their hearers a knowledge of. the old. Without Moses and the prophets to furnish a foundation for the superstructure, Christianity would seem suspended in the air. The Rock of the New Testament.

But the old testament does more than supply the rock upon which the new testament stands; it has in it certain elements that contribute material strength to Christianity. Revelation did not begin with the ofChrist; it culminated in his coming. The way was paved by the men of God who ennobled life with messages which they received direct from Jehovah. Among the patriarchs who deserve a high place In bible history we find Abraham, who gives us one of the the earliest and most splen-j did illustrations of the power of faith and of its fundamental place in the history of individuals and nations. At the call of God.

he left his home and traveled into a distant land, there to become the father of a race, than which there has never been a greater, and to establish worship of one God, a religion which has controlled the lives of thousands of millions since his day. Finally, out of his faith and his religion came the promised 1 Messiah, with all that Christ has meant to man and mankind. 1jw Giver Without a Peer. Moses gave to history ai inspiring lesson. His life is a rebuke, flung in the face of arbitrary power, declaring the littleness of all human aspirations compared with the majesty of the creator's purpose.

MATTHEW J. O'KEEFE EDWARD M. TOWNE O'KEEFE Replica 'of First Typewriter in Hands of Austin Burt Descendant of Maker III PRBSPERITY Financial Basis Firmer, Crops Promise Good Yield and Higher Prices. Des Moines, June 17. That Iowa Is back again on a firm financial basis continues to be evidenced as the weeks advance.

Indebtedness in general has been reduced, bo that the threat of serious financial trouble has passed way. Farm income is increasing with prices for livestock, grain and other products on the upward trend. Crop prospects tnruoui me Biaie In general are encouraging, witn promise of good yields of wheat, oats and corn, and business for the tall months looks particularly encouraging. Reports from wasnmgion, wnere II. C.

Hoover, secretary of commerce, thru his foodstuffs d1 vision, complies valuable information on the world's food supply, are to the feffect that the world is facing a shortage in wheat, which will become, particularly apparent within a few weeks. Wheat Supply Is Low. The reserve buddIv of wheat has been largely used up, say these reports, with stocks lower on July 1 than for several years. It is reported that both Argentina and Australia have a smaller crop than tact vear. Russia is out of the ex port trade.

Furthermore, the demand in Europe is Increasing and apparently the United States and Canada will be relied on, not only to meet this foreign shortage, but the increased demand. "With higher prices for wheat, better corn prices will prevail, as rell as increased prices for other rain. O. Weaver of the Iowa state board of agriculture is authority for the statement that brood sows are far more numerous on Ioa tarms now than for some time. Farmers' have been realizing from 80 to 90 cents per bushel for corn fed to hogs the past several months, and hog production is Bgain proving decidedly profitable.

Wool prices are appreciably higher and buyers are plentiful. The quotations on the Boston market for fine staple, Iowa wool, are from 45 to 47 cents; blood staple, 88 to 40. Farm bureau directors are urging Iowa growers to continue co-operative shipping of wool. However, sheep are not so plentiful on Iowa farms as they were a few years ago. Daily Bible School at Baptist Church Has 187 Enrolled The spcond week of daily vaca tion bible school at Walnut Street Baptist church closed yesterday with a total enrollment of children and an average attendance i of 125.

The work done during me week and the increased interest over last week is encouraging to the leaders. The daily program consists of anecdotes from lives of great persona, simple storie3 of heroic deeds, habit and bible talk. Songs and yells are taught for variety. An enjoyable feature is the handwork, which consists of basket weavme. manual training, doll fur niture construction, clay dish mod eling, scrap book making and wax moldfng.

Waterloo, Iowa much as It Is affected hy the the ory of man'a origin. Kven the law of reproduction according to Kina is not so vital to man as his kin- ship with the heavenly father. The bible deals with the science of how to live, which 1b a personal imnnrimin in niruhio Ih.i'uhkp valuable, sucrt knowledge Is insignificant In value compared with man's knowledge of the Hock of Ages. Good people lived and fulfilled the plan of the creator long before anv book on geology was written and before man's attention was turned to the study of astronomy. Hut the science of how to live began with man: it Is of vital consideration to all, and it will not cease to be man's first concern while the human race survives.

Old' and New Testaments Linked. The old testament tells us that man was created by special act of the creator: God made him a little lower than the angels and gave him dominion over land and sea. He was made a steward and is held responsible for his conduct. The old testament gives us the beginning of life, while Christ, in the new testament, reveals that life to man. He interprets God.

promises to man the abundant life obtainable thru acceptance of his salvation, and gives the code of morals which he substituted for the teaching of all uninspired philosophers. Standing upon the old testament and lonknie forward to the new, the giants of the olden time stretched forth their hands to ex tend blessings upon the obedient. while their voices solemnly pro claimed the penalties that sin in vited. In the first quarter of our study of the old testament, Elijah and Ellsha occupied the center of the staee: In the quarter just ending Isaiah and Jeremiah are in the forefront. Elijah awed by his rugged strength; Ellsha revealed the unseen forces that fight on the side of righteousness.

Isaiah foretells the advent of the saviour; Jeremiah arouses all ages to duty bv his fidelity and fearlessness displayed in selecting the great themes around which the thought of the christian world has been centered thoughts full to overflowing wllh the practical lessons that enrich our lives, (Copyright, by the KepuWIe Syndicate patent asl soon as 1 can and return home, at aney rats eeall returne home a snone as the Lake navigation in open if life and health is spitted me. 1 havo got along out slow since I have been hore for the want of cash to hire such help as I wanted; 1 have been as prudent as I could, have taken my board with a family from MCyuga who keep a hording house they are verry good christian people and are kind to me.

Because of Mr. Burt's Initiative' in developing the first typewriter, the New York Shorthand Reporters' association recently nominated him for placement as an inventor in the Hall of Fame of New York university. Be Good, Boys; Hold Fireworks Till July 4 First complaints of boys shooting off firecrackers, to the annoyance of neighbors, were received at police headquarters at 6:60 p. m. yesterday from the vicinity of Park avenue and Bluff street.

He was given the meagre schooling offered during that period and indicated a par.

ticular keenness for things mechanical, atronomy, arithmetic and kindred subjects. Young Burt firBt considered the life of a sea captain but his mother, whose father, William Austin, had been lost at sea, dissuaded him from the Idea. He gathered a knowledge of surveying and constructed surveying instruments which he put in use later as a United States deputy surveyor. Two seasons were spent surveying in Iowa 1836-37 and 1842-3, some years before- Iowa became a state. In this work Mr.

Burt used a solar compass devised and patented by him and still known as Burt's solar compass. Kecame Circuit Court Judge. Mr. Burt was made a member of the Michigan Territorial council, having made his home near Detroit, Mich. He later took the title of judge when he was elevated to' Michigan's circuit court.

Mr. crew surveyed the Lake Superior iron country and he was aware of the vast deposit of iron ore there, but was advanced in years at that time and much more interested in the performance of bis solar compass which, unlike its predecessors, was unaffected by the magnetic attraction of the iron ore.
