'World Needs Men Who Know,' Says Methodist Bishop
Conditions Today Challenge
Us to Make Perpetual
Triumphs of
Our Lives
"It is the man who knows, and knows what he knows and knows it accurately, and can make use of this knowledge," said Bishop William R. Anderson who has charge of the Cincinnati area of the Methodist Episcopal church, this morning when he spoke on "Living to Achieve."
"Examples of the dual nature of man can be found everywhere in the realm of the world's great literature. The story of Jean Valleau, that great character of Hugo is that of a struggle between the elements of good and evil. For example, as he continued Bishop Anderson, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is not popular without reason. It is popular because every man recognizes within himself
"Achieve a Perpetual Triumph"
"It is the privilege of every man and every woman to achieve a perpetual triumph. By a strenuous will that which is mean and common, that which is shallow, superficial, ungod-like, can be cut out, so that the higher, worthwhile nature can survive.
"In every man there is the possibility of an angel and the possibility of a devil. In every man there is a nature that will lead him down until he is below the level of brute life. But there is also a divine spark at the heart of every personality that maintains the intimacy, leads up and out until at last man attains unto the likeness of the Divine Character.
NUMBER 152
every man recognizes within himself the elements of a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde."
In Europe During War
Bishop Andersen spent much time in Europe during the period of the war and studied conditions at close range. "I thought we were too far away from barbarian for anything against the world war to happen," he said.

Characteristics of Norwegian Shown by Foreign Author's Productions
The novels of Bjournejeerne Bjornson were recommended as an easy transition point to the field of foreign literature. He taught the instructor in English, in his lecture on contemporary literature yesterday afternoon in Fraser Hall. Mr. Solberg pointed out that of the European literature he studied, many were adapted akin to our own in subject matter.
"The quality of Björsson's work is high because he has worked in a field where others have failed," continued Mr. Solberg. "He is the greatest interpreter of the inartificial pensations of the universe, a permanent in a limited field. Among Scandinavian writers he stands, ery high."
"In Bjornson's plays he promulgated the ideals of the liberty and freedom of the Norwegian people," said Solr.olg. "He became head of the Norwegian nationalist movement as well as one of its greatest interpreters. He is a sympathetic delinector of the Norwegian character.
"Björnson's complessed, plain style alone makes him decidedly worth read," said Mr. Solberg in conclusion. "He had to adhere to the adverb were the enemies of style and he tried to work without them. His style is also lacking in figures of speech. The English translation of preserves this extreme simplicity."

Eleven Die in Fire Which Demolishes Huge Oil Derrick
Charred Skeletons of Three Men Cannot be Rescued; Flames Beyond Control
Corsicana, Texas, May 10-Eleven men were burned to death in a fire that destroyed an oil well on the Hughes-Mckie lease last night following an explosion, according to information received by authorities today. The charred skeletons of three men could be seen still smoldering after the dericrk, while eight bodies had been recovered from the ruined area.
Efforts to rescue the three bodies have been futile because of the intense heat caused by the flames which were still beyond the control of the fire fighters. Steam was turned on the burning oil well today to stifle fires, and probably take days to extinguish the火焰 officials of the company said.
Spark Ignites Oil Stream
Spark ignites Oil Stream
Twenty-five men were putting a new machine into the stream, which came in yesterday with a flow of 5,000 barrels of oil and twenty million feet of gas, when a spark ignited the great stream of oil. Several oil learners, their clothes soaked with oil, were immediately enveloped in the flames. Others made a dash of energy parried by the leaping flames.
Officials who checked up today said that there were two others who had either escaped or been trapped by the flames. Several men escaped by running through pools of water and falling to the ground. The well continues to burn, but officials of the company have undertaken the considerable measures to extinguish the fire.
Represents Inestimable Loss
J. K. Hughes, head of the company owning the burning well, told the United Press that his last check gave nine dead. This, he admitted, was made late yesterday and could not be ignored. "I think he be more than nine dead," he said, "but I know there are not as many as some reports say. Your check of eleven is probably right."
Hughes, a man well advanced in years, appeared deeply grieved, but bore the tragedy with a religious philosophy. The destruction by flames of the well, one of the richest ever brought in on these fields, repaired immensely. For Hughes. Efforts are being made to throw steam on the raging fires. Explosives will be used in an effort to put it out.
