BIBLE READING MOVEMENT,
READING FOR JANUARY 80

The baptism of John, whence was it?
from heaven or from men? And they
reasoned with themselves, saying, If
we shall say, From heaven; he will
say unto us, Why then did We not be-
lieve him? 26 But if we shall say.
From men; we fear the multitude;
for all hold John as prophet. q And
they answered Jesus, and said, We
know not He also said unto them,
Neither tell I you by what authority
I do these things. % But what think
We? A man had two sons; and he
came to the first, and said, Son, go
work today in the vineyard. 20 And
he answered and said, I will not: but
afterward he repented himself, and
went 30 And he came to the second,
and said likewise. And he answered
and said, I go, sir: and went not. 81
Which of the two did the will of his
father? They say, The first. Jesus
saith unto them, Verify I say unto you,
that the publicans and the harlots go
into the kingdom of God before you.
80 For John came unto you in the way
of righteousness, and We believed him
not; but the publicans and the harlots
believed him: and We, when We saw it,
did not even repent yourself afterward,
that ye might believe him.

LONDON, Jan. 1s.-fThe war OF
1908. for supremacy of the Pacific, = IS
what the author calls pamphlet just
issued here describing the naval cam
paign so many European statesmen
think inevitable between the United
States and Japan. The work is said
to he bv a well-known German New
Yorker, The fact that, though ultimate
victory is awarded the United States,
London is receiving the pamphlet with
much enthusiasm, is significant of the
shifting of the popular favor from the
little brown men recently.
The volume opens with letter from
an Amsterdam banker to London, say
ing the collapse in American prices was
engineered by New York fnanciers to
cause gold importation into the United
States and provide specie to pay for a
war against Japan.
About the same time japanese
naval officer writes to London that
Evan fleet, with Manila as base,
would overmatch the japanese. There
fore, the writer asserted, the mikado
would try to crush the squadron on its
way around South America.
FIRST BLOOD FOR JAPS.
With this preliminary, the story
opens. 1t purports to consist of dis
patches to the London Times.
Evans feet arrives at Valparaiso
February 90, and Evans turns his fleet
toward Honolulu. There it is Joined by
the Wisconsin and cruisers and trans
ports from San Francisco. The fleet
sails March Is. Five days later a
Japanese fleet attacks Manila. Torpedo
destroyers get into the harbor and sink
an American battleship and two cruis-
ers. The forts sink two destroyers, but
large Japanese force lands at Balayan
bay and captures Manila.
EVANS RETIRES, ACCORDING TO
STORY.
Evans is attacked March %, 500 miles
from Manila, by japanese flying
squadron, The fact that the American
searehlights always sweep the horizon
ahead and never aft enables six tor
pedo-boats to get among the squadron
from the rear and blow up two battle
ships and two transports. Two pursu-
ing American cruisers are suddenly en-
gagged by several japanese cruisers. The
main American squadron responds to
their wireless appeals, to find the entire
japanese fleet under Admiral Togo
awaiting them. Two American cruisers
and a battleship are sunk, and the
Georgia, Louisiana and Virginia are
captured. Evans stands off the attack
all the next day, but retreats at full
speed when the fight is resumed the
ensuing morning. Leaving all his trans
ports and the damaged battleships
Alabama and Kentucky, all of which
surrender to Togo, Evans reaches Homo
lulu with his remaining eight damaged

SPREAD or NIGHT RIDING.

night riding in the tobacco fields Of
Kentucky and southern Indiana, which
has now been going on for several
years with the effect OF, completely
tying up such tobacco as is now

The practice began with a desire on
the part Of certain tobacco growers to
bring the SO called tobacco trust to
terms. Tobacco was pooled, and those
who did not pool their crops and hold
them until the members Of the pool
decided a sufficient price had been Of
fered were not only threatened with
having their barns burned, but In
many cases bodily harm was threaten
ed as well, says the New York Times.
In numerous instances, especially In
the southwestern or dark tobacco dis
trict of Kentucky the threats were
carried into execution. barn burning
became an almost nightly occurrence
men We're whipped and In several In
stances murder was committed.
To an extent the night riding In the
tobacco country was successful, fol
the price Of tobacco was raised. The
crops, however, were very greatly di
minished Nevertheless few months
ago the practice began spreading be
yond the tobacco territory into the cot
ton country. The spread was gradual
