Hew C II. Newlng, pastor of Dun

pulpit of Klin Patk last night mid
cblivcrod a renin tkuhly line sermon.
Mis. P. P. Pi Ice wus the organist of
th' evening nnd All. H. 1). Williams
acted as elicit Ister, singing with ex
leedlnply good effect.
The sprnker guve us his text 1! Tim
oth.v :i, 14-17 "All Scilptuie is given
Lv lusplrutioii of nnd uinl Is piofttnlilc
for duett Ine, for reproof, for coriect

.Mr. Newlng salt that Paul, writing
Int i Timothy nt Ibis time, found that
nniiiv weie et veiling the tiuth, nnd
would not accept the gospel. They
were llr.enlng to fnle teat hers on
eveiy side mid the npostle wrote this
warni'iis to the people.
"If he wcte wilting In this nge he
woultl Unci the sumo conditions exist
ing, lie would see that men will not
listen to Hod s wend, that they will not
aict'It Ihe gospel and Mint they follow
nrtrt strange teaching.
"The Hlble Is The Hook. A In the
oilgiii.il 'Inspiration' means Inbreathing,
so (iotl tiKJthed Ills own thought Into
the hearts of men who wrote. Theie
nte those who hold to the eloctilne that
the wolds themselves weie luspiifd If
the woids only weie Inspiied time
could have been no ttanslatlon Into ev
eiv tongue. We hold to the Dynamic
theoi.v which snvs that the thoughts
weie inspiieil and that different men
w i cite us the Holy Spit It moved them.
Thus it Is that It Is possible to trans
late Into nny tongue on the face of the
earth, thus It s that theie Is some
Scilpiute that touches eveiy man who
eve i lias lived, that theie Is something
which speaks to him personnllv.
Till: SAJ1H TIKH'CHTS
"In lnlah, In the songs of David,
In the gospel of John, are dlffeieut ver
sions of the same thoughts. To the
student oneh bears the stamp of Indi
viduality Yet nil expiess the same
general Idea. Thus. If the wot els were
Inspiied, we shall have the same wen els
expressed exactly In the same vvnv In
stead of the beautiful differences which
i cutler the Hook so ftee fiom monoton.

' You ami 1 inn giliuil our lives veiy

A KIVC.'S LMPATILNCi:.
"Il l.s said of a gicat king Mint be

w'hom he wished out of his va, so he
told the bishop that unless he could
give a supicme pioof of the tiuth of

Is one of the most leinmkable pinnfrc
of the Inspliatlon of prophecy In the

"I have never si en one point whete

"If this Hook Is the Woid of Hod,
