G, B, STBICKIER IN ATLANTA PULPIT At the Central Presbyterian church on Sunday morning Dr. G. B. Strlckler, an ex-poator of the church, delivered an able and eloquent nernion on the ■ubject of the divine Inspiration of the Bible. Dr. Strlckler Is an able preacher and deep theologian, but In hla sermon he made no attempt to go Into the tech nical details, but treated It from the viewpoint of the average layman, who not able to make a life study of the subject. Dr. Strlckler called the attention of hla congregation to the fact that first of all the Bible supplies that deep- rooted need in the nature of menklnd for a divine object to worship, or rath- or for some God higher than mag him self. The God taught of In the Bible differs essentially from tha gods of the ancients In that He presents the at tributes of a perfect being, whereas tha gods to whom the Greeks and Ko- mans bowed down were simply magni fied men, having the good and bad qualltlea of men magnified as the de- serlber of tha attributes cared to do. He called attention to the fact also that the Bible rontalna the moat per fect code of laws that has ever been devised. Mortal man has never auc- wlll In any degree equal Its perfection. The way the story of tha Ilfs of Jesus Christ la told, related aa It was by sim ple uneducated fishermen and laborers, shows that Jltere 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 have been a fiction, an Invention, for If so It would have been characterised by Imperfections," said Dr. Strlckler. NOT A BUCKET SHOP, SAYS C. N.
