In 1952, Thomas Nelson and Sons employed a firm to deter mine the extent of Bible reading in America. The report revealed that 90 per cent of all Protestant families have Bibles, and most have more than one; that 95 per cent of Americans read the Bible at some time, and 41 per Dutchess rea(i it at least once a week But though Americans 13 years ago appeared to be a Bi- CHRISTIAN Service 10:00 bit reading people, times are a First Methodist Church for rapidly changing, general meeting and covered Professor George Betts of dish luncheon. Northwestern University re- UtCts cently sent a questionnaire to 1309 ministers and to students of five religious seminaries.

One question was, you believe the Bible as a final Sixty-six per cent i the ministers and only 18 per cent of the students answered affirmatively. This is probably indicative of Americans at large and certainly predicts a drift away from recognition of the Bible as the authoritative word of God. A preacher notes some quaint ideas folks entertain about the Bible. Many worship the book itself as a shrine; to be deemed holy and to be entered seldom. Many judge the scriptures to be a moth-eaten collection of rare proverbs to be quoted to prove point.

Politicians use it freely to add a degree of to thc.r diatribes. Average folk have somehow arrived at the idea that can anything by the Our great disrespect for this volume is evidenced when we feel that any can read it the way it suits them best, with the bromide often mouthed, you see it your way and see it Such an approach is not logical nor reasonable for a math book or science text; neither is it for the Bible. May I recommend to you the Bible? It recommends itself as the inspired and complete will of God to man. (2 Timothy 3 1617) Its truth can be logically understood by diligent and prayerful study. Reading it through once will not exhaust its store, as one drink from a stream will not dry it.

Jesus once asked a man of the readest Perhaps a question for us now should be simply stated. Alan Sowders. Minister, Church of Christ Plano, Texas. Time and again we have admired our highly developed civilization, the wonderful prog ress of science, and the ease and comfort this brings to our lives We adire the colossal skyscrapers, dams and coliseums built by man, and say, what science has done for man! Has any people ever developed a civilization such as we And we are not aware if the fact that other people before us have developed similar civ- milizations, only to crumple in the dust after reaching the peak How civilized are we any- how'' Or what is civilization? Go with me to a mining re- gion, the coal mines if West Virginia or Pennsylvania, the iron or copper mines of Michigan and Wisconsin or Montana Yes, science has shown us how 1 to produce these minerals cheaply and in abundance. But consider the mountains of refuse surrounding these mines; consider the destruction to landscape; think of the springs originating from many of these abandoned mines and the effect of their mineral content on the streams they feed; considr the streams they feed; consider the streams receiving the wastes from the paper mills and textile mills; or from the canneries or any other of the many types of modern industry.

These streams were sparkling, clean and safe, once upon a time long agj. Will they ever be clean and sparkling and safe I think that civilization should make the world more sate and more pleasant to live in and not make it infit and unsate for human life Human progress is made when opportunities to express his individuality in i work is increased. This merely means that every man has some particular ability, and naturally has the desire to make use of this ability to fullest extent. He may not even know clearly what his particular ability is; but given the opportunity, he will soon find what it is, and then, given the chance to make use of his particular ability, he will be the happier for it. Applied science, industry, has not yet learned to clean up behind it the harm that industry and progress are doing to the world in which we live.

We are called upon to purify the liquid waste with which industry burdens the sewers already overloaded with the waste resulting from the necessity of living too close together. too close to the place where we are forced to work. We take pride in the fact that ours is the largest city of the state, or the city that had the largest per cent increase in populati or that the value of goods manufactured this year was 5 or 10 per cent more than the year before. And we forget, that because of that increase the problem of decent living conditions in our city has become that much more difficult. The sewage p'ant operator is one of the first to be called upon to remedy these conditions that have gone wrong be- cause of undue haste or negligence.

He is the one whose skill and ability and belief in civilization must restore it to such a state that it can again enter the scheme of nature, can again become a part of our rivers and lakes, or be used in raising food for animal or human consumption.
