with Ann Arbor, Michigan, where 78
students were recently subjected to a
biblical examination, with these re
sults: "The test was not made offhand, but
nearly an hour ' was allowed to write
down the answers. The results were
startling.- One volunteered the valu

another title to fame. The news

to the public library of Great Barring

no copy of the bible there and he af

one bearing this inscription: "I have
found a great many libraries which
lacked a great many books, but never
before have I found one like this,
which lacked the Great Book." Four

Christ to his disciples, while the gos

quote a few of the hundreds of other
ridiculous replies. 'The gospels,' for
instance, 'were the letters which St.

ark, or the mount from which Christ
spoke., 'Nazarene was the Mother of

'Levi was a name applied to Jews who
were small in stature compared with
Leviathan, which meant large.' 'Levi
was a Jewish male; Leviathan a wo

Christ to one of the thieves hanging

"The reformers of the 16th century
were deadly enemies of the bible,
though they professed to base their
whole religion on It. Insisting on
every one reading It and guaranteeing
that the most ignorant could fathom
its profoundest mysteries, they rob
bed it of all its objective value, for
each Individual, no matter how Incom
petent, was permitted to read into it
his own sense, thereby leaving It no
