One thing is undeniableâ€"knowledge of the Bible is far less general now than it was in the days of my child- hood. That amazing familiarity with the sacred hook with which John Richard Green credits the people of England in the days of the common- wealth had persisted until my hoy~ hood among the sons of the Puritans and the Scotch Irish in New England and in New York state. it was not universal, but it was generaL The kind of tests by which college stno dents and students in secondary schools are frequently in these days made to display an ignorance of the Bible which is astounding could have been passed with credit by the majority of country boys and girls sixty or seventy years ago. But this thorough acquaintance of earlier generations with the Bible was not due to any considerable ex- tent to the public schooL All that we learned about the Bible in school would have added very little to our store of religious knowledge. It was AN APPRECIATION The following card from Walk- erton Chapter, Daughters of the Empire, expresses appreciation of services rendered by the Choral Society here in a concert given there a few Weeks ago. It reads as follows and explains itself- Miss L. Walker, Secy. Durham Choral Society. Will you kindly convey to your Choral Society the appreci- ation of our Chapter as expressed in a hearty vote of thanks, pass- in our churches and our Sunday schools. but chiefly in our homes. that most of us learned what .we knew about the Bibleâ€"Washington Gladden in Atlantic. “Literary Style.” A high school student writes this of- fice inquiring what constitutes a “liter- ary style.” Without trying to answer this interesting and dlflicult question. two remarks may he cited that throw light on it. When Charles James Fox was told that his speech read well he retorted. “Then it was a bad speech." “When one of my congregation would tell mo at the end or a service that the ser- mon was fine,” Dr. Lyman Abbott has said. “I knew I had made a failure." In general the style is good when it fits the thought so well that the style itself does not attract attention. As soon as you begin to be conscious of the styleâ€"unless of course you are reading with that end in viewâ€"you may be pretty sure it’s bad style. Style is something like clothes or fun- niture. The well dressed man is the man whose clothes do not attract at- tention.
