B. Strickler, an ex-paator of the church, delivered an able and eloquent sermon on the subject of the divine Inspiration of the Bible. Dr. Strickler Is an able preacher and a deep theologian, but In hla sermon he made no attempt to go Into the tech nical details, but treated It from the qualities of men magnl sort her of the attributes cared to do. He called attention to tha fact also NOT A BUCKET SHOP, SAYS C. N, ANDERSON The way the story of the 111 pie uneducated fishermen and laborers, shows that there must have been a divine spark to gulc. them, or other wise they could never have succeeded In turning out such a masterpiece. "The Book as regards Jesus could not hava been a fiction, an Invention, for If eo II would have been characterised by Imperfections," said Dr. Strickler. ssAtssmsM: ^SmJSSSSmm Louis J.

The Trade Index carries each week a column, headed "bucket shop list," giving the names of brokerage houses throughout the South which are al leged to have no connection with the New Orleans or New York cotton ex changes. Among that list appears the name of Louis J. Anderson * Co., of Atlanta. The heading over the list Is as foi st udy subject. Dr. Strickler called the attention of hla congregation tq the fact that first of all the Bible eupplles that deep- rooted need In the nature of mankind for a divine object to .worship; or rath er for some God higher than man him self.
