THE RIGHT TO SPEAK.
Why the Christian Should Speak Out
the Message Of the
Christ.

Sir John Lubbock, the eminent Eng
lish naturalist, has spent a lifetime in the
study Of the habits Of ants and other in
sects. He has made some very wonder
full discoveries, some Of which are con-
trary to the common ideas Of the ways
OF these insects; but when Sir John Lub-
book publishes anything about ants the
world reads it and accepts It as authori-
tative, for by his long, patient and ac-
curate researches the naturalist has
earned the right to speak upon that sub
ject For the same reason the world
eagerly listens to anything that Thomas
A. Edison may have to say about phoRo-
graphs OF any other topic connected
with the development of electrical pow
er, or TO anything that Mr.. Ernest
Thompson-Seton may have to say about
the habits OF wild animals These men
have created for themselves the right
to speak on these subjects, but when
Joshua says: Come hither. and hear
the words Of the Lord your God" his
right to speak rests upon a different
foundation and the distinction between
them Is not always kept so clear as It
ought 10 be. Joshua's right 10 speak does
not rest upon his own investigations
into the realm Of spiritual truth, but
upon the fact that he has received a mes
sage from the final authority in such
things That message he has a right to
speak with confidence.
1t is the same right TO speak which
Joshua had that belongs to every Sun
day school teacher. to every minister.
to every disciple Of our Lord. says J.
Mervin Hull, IN Christian Work All IN
yestlgatlons Of every kind, natural
scientific, philosophical. ethical, are lin
tied by the yastness Of the field. No man
can ever say that he has covered all the
ground so as to come 10 an absolutely
sure conclusion. But the humblest dlsci-
pie can teach love to God and man and be
absolutely sure that he is right. He has
the authority Of the Lord Himself for t.
II is pity that We realize 80 imperfectly
the nature OF this right to speak the
truths OF Gods word. 1t would be an
excellent idea for every teacher and
every Christian in any walk of life to
make a study Of the attitude that Paul
had toward the message that he received
from his Lord II filled him with joy
He just bubbled over with enthusiasm
for H. He never made the mistake OF
delivering It as if it were his message.
but he simply gave out that II was the
message Of the Lord, and never made any
Jretense Of bolstering IT up by any other
authority. That view OF our right to
peak enables us TO speak with helpful
ness 10 every kind Of human need HUI
man hearts are yearning for certainty
in spiritual things II is the privilege of
the disciples Of the Master to speak the
things which he has revealed with a note
Of authority which shall comfort those
who are in sorrow. guide those who are
wandering. and encourage those who are
lighting the battle Of life. II the world
s asking in despair. Is life worth living?

THIS MARITAL MIXUP
TOO MUCH FOR JUDGE.
A Man Accuses Woman of Stealing
Spoons and She Charges Him with
Tricking Her Into Mock Marriage.

Chicago.-The matrimonial muddles
Of Leon Lewis music hall manager, and
Paula Hermes, vocalist" proved too
much for Justice Cayerly to solve on
hand, and therefore the hearing of Paula
on a charge Of stealing the family
spoons was continued. In the meantime
II is up to Leon to prove he actually is
Paula's husband.
"He my husband? Well, should say
not" said Paula. "He tricked me into
thinking was married to him, but dis
covered my mistake last summer. And
as for his spoons they we're his first wfe's
spoons, and he gave them to me-"
At this point Lewis clamored for
hearing, but the magistrate silenced
him.
1T was this way" continued Paula.
Two years ago met Mr.. Lewis, and he
appeared to be perfect gentleman. He
told me be had got a divorce from Hazel,
who owned the spoons. and would |
marry him. Well he got to be such
nuisance l said would just to get him to
stop pestering me-"
'She was crazy TO have me marry
her" Lewis shouted Paula ignored the
interruption.

then Mr. Lewis said we would step into
Justice VOLTS courtroom and be mar
ried. wasn't as wise then as am now.
When we got into the courtroom he told
me to sit down near the door while he
fixed It up with the justice. In a minute
he came back and said It was all right,
that we were married.
"What, so soon?' asked him.
Sure he said.
Then We went to housekeeping out in
Sheffield avenue, and Mr.. Lewis gave me
the spoons and said they were mine to
keep. lived with him until August, and
then friend told me wasn't married at
all and that Mr.. Lewis had played trick
on me-"

Paula 1T was Mr.. George Wilson, who
is foreman at a livery stable and per-
feet gentleman, if say 1t that shouldn't

married him just as soon as found Mr..
Lewis had fooled me-"
Lewis declined to narrate the details
Of his marriage" while insisting the
ceremony had been regular. No record
Of the ceremony, however, could be
found at Justice VOLTS courtroom.
Il viii give you just ten days to prove
that you are actually married to this
woman" said Justice Cayerly. I'm in

valuable rings.
Il want you to cut my hair" she said.
IT'S long and handsome, know, but
want It cut"
Barber Buchanan soon had her hair
on the floor, and the woman had the ap-
pearance OF a rakish-looking youngster.
Then she asked how she could get false
mustache.
The barber notified the local police
and It was found that she was trying
to get $40 advanced on a handsome
watch and chain. Chief Griftins then
arrested her. She said that she lived
at Eastwood, Canada, with her IA
ther.
She said that her doctor had or
dered her hair cut so as to relieve her
Of headache. She said she wanted
money because she had left home with
only dollar and had spent that The
mustache, she said, she wanted for her
brother.
The woman's father was sent for and
he seemed to be much mystified by his
daughters actions. He said be owned
a $4,000 farm and could not understand
why his daughter should figure IN such
a queer episode.
The Identification Of Mrs. Chadwick

here Of her hair-cuting experience.
