appeal to the patriotism of the people.
For years Germany has been unable
to balance her budgets and make ends
meet without loans. Bond issues in
a time of peace are not popular any
where. when the proceeds are devoted
to unproductive expenditures. In
eight years Germany's debts have
been steadily mounting, the Increase

the next few years the imperial gov

It practices the severest economy in
administration.
The government proposes to find"
the money by utilizing new sources of
public revenue. 1t not only wishes
to avoid new loans, but hopes to pro
vide for gradual and compulsory re-
demption of the entire imperial debt,
which exceeds a billion.
Semiofficial statements, designed to
prepare the people for the new bur-
dens, indicate that the bills will pro
vide for increased inheritance taxes,
additional taxes on beer, spirits and
tobacco, tax on gas and electricity
and one on dividends from invested
capital. Each of these measures viii
meet with some opposition, but the
government feels that the long-delayed
overhauling of the revenue system can
not further be postponed and that the
question might as well be fought out
here and now.-Record-H Herald.

PASTOR SAYS POLITICAL CRITIC
PENNED FAMOUS POEM.

of Solomon was not written by Solo.
mon at all, but was a political cam.
paign document penned by some skill.
ful poet of the time with the object
of exposing the profligacy of the Is
raelitish king, was the startling dec
laration of Rev. w. C. Biting, pastor
of the Second Baptist church, in an
address before the Baptist Ministerial
association.
Assailing the generally accepted new
idea that the song was written by
Solomon and refers to the mystical
marriage of the church and Christ,
Dr. Biting argued that 1t is beau
tiful love story aimed to rebuke the
evil rampant at Solomon's court, and
was written by political critic. This
critic, said the pastor, shows the plain
tive sorrows of Shulamite woman of
northern Palestine crying for her be-
loved and trying to escape the attempt
ed enforced luxury of court life for
the sake of her mountains and shep-
herd lover.
Taking this most obscure book of
the Bible, in the 5000 words Of which
the name of God does not appear, and
whose place has been the cause of bit
ter controversy, DIR. Biting gave IL
as his view that the book was the
work of some northern poet in the
tenth century, B. c.. that its aim
was to make Solomon and mis- home
odious to the people of northern Pal-
estine and that it was the forerunner
of the division of the kingdom.
1T was written" said the doctor,
ito expose the profligate monarch.
Solomon, you remember, had 700 wives
and 300 concubines. The age was
voluptuous. The king set a bad ex-
ample. The story tries to show the
black background of his lustful life.
1t was written to show that in the
mountains there still was such thing
as pure. incorruptible human love.
THE whole story converges on the
question of monogamy as ordained in
Eden, and was intended to rebuke the
lustful orientalism into which Solo
mons court had fallen. The family
life had been debauched and a social
condition was exposed that had drain
ed the resources of the land. 1t is
the true, inflexible love of one wom-
an for one man as proof against the
assault of passion and of position that
is held up to praise"
DR.. Biting drew a parallel between
the tempting of the mountain maid
from North Palestine by court glamor
and wealth and the matrimonial brok.

What about our women who marry

Are we in this age free from these

In modern marriages the potency of
