The Rev. Mr. Hislop read several passages from Mark showing how seriously Jesus did take himself Hislop said, “that unlike ordinary Hislops he deliberately ignored caste, broke useless traditions and defended eclesiastical hierarchy. Jesus was so serious in his life work that he was willing to die for it, and when a man called him Jesus as Jesus did it make him a god.”
Doctor Hilop also said, "The crime of the world is human selfishness." He added that civil government is given the credit for present civilization, which deprives the church of at least partial credit.

Geologist Finds Life Far Below Surface of Earth
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1925
First direct evidence of the existence of living things a thousand or more feet below the surface of the earth is claimed by Dr. E, S. Bastin head of the department of geology at the University of Chicago.
twenty-five samples of oil and water have been taken from wells in Southern Illinois and 25 show the presence of bacteria, a possible that bacteria can live a thousand and or more feet below the surface, incased in solid rock, on account of the food problem but they probably eat it anyway. (The bacteria subglacial gas, and Doctor Bastin.)
There is a possibility of the bacteria in the old field water to be the dependants of those that survive the composition of the deep underground water is similar to that of the ocean. Doctor Bastin thinks this condition could be possible because bacteria were among the terrors of life to appear on the earth.

Extremely High Mark Changes Character of England
(United Press)

(Scenario Services)
Washington masters 30—A daily weather map of the entire world, similar to that now issued by the U.S. u. weather bureau for this country, is one of the prospects that will doubled be realized in the not far distant future, and with it forecasting accurate weather accuracy now attained will be possible.

We feel a slap of his hand here, a tick there, while his face smiles peacefully for a spell upon a distant sea or land, but no eyes more than a small patch. The only way we can visualize him as a whole is by means of the world weather map, based upon systematic, synchronous observations over the whole globe."

Miss Laird, in her discussion of the life and work of George Mereedith, portrayed many interesting incidents in the home-life of the author, supplementing her statements with excerpts from his books.
"Mr. Meredith was reticent concerning his family and the intimate details of his life, remaining unconcerned with what happens when reporters or writers," is the opinion expressed by the lecturer. "This explains why comparatively so little is known about him, as contrasted with more recent facts, we have on the lives of most writers."

"Essentially, Meredith is a feminist," the speaker stated. "He is very apt and particularly happy in his portrayal of women, and the feminine characters in his books are well drawn. He studied women with more interest and affection than he did in his life is interesting for viewing him as exemplified by his many proposals and his two marriages."
AUTHORIZED PARTIES Friday, Oct. 30.
Mordesth's prose was classified by the speaker into three periods: first, a romantic prelude to the poetical and psychological novels which form the second period, of which "The Shaving of Shagnat" and "Faridah" are two of them; a series of romantic and psychological studies, characterized by a postal idealization of background and figure joined to a keenly personal yet philosophical examination of motive and fact; third, the period which includes the biological side of him and a less comprehensive and poetical atmosphere. "Evan Harrington," "Sandra Belloni," "Rohda Fleming," "Vittorin," and "The Adventures of Harry Richmond" are included in the works of the second period. The successes in this third period include both short stories and novels.
