PRIZES OFFERED IN THE
BIbLE QUESTION CONTEST
TO BE FOUGHT ALL OVER

| Seattle, Wash, July Sit will be
red, red war when the visiting
knights of Pythias parade down the
Pay Streak at the Alaska -Yukon-Pa-
cific exposition, when *. p. Week"
opens on. July 5th. The two big war
time spectacles which made the Pay
Streak notable, the Battle of the
Monitor and Merrimac and the Battle
OF Gettysburg, have announced big
special performances for the first
night Of the week and have agreed
with the exposition management to
make substantial concessions for all
X. p. s SO both the famous civil war
battles will be fought over again and
again, with some of the most beau
tiful electrical effects ever produced
in the country, added to the general
picture.
Since the exposition opened the
battle OF the Monitor and Merrimac
has attracted tremendous interest. AS
spectacle 1t is two years old, but
the artist who produced II, Alfred u.
Austen, OF London, is constantly adj
ding to 1t new features and today
1t Is better and more startling
spectacle than when it took the 60. d
medal for quality and popularity at
the Jamestown exposition.
The spectacle Is faithful repro
duction OF the first battle between
ironclad warboats. Maneuver for
maneuver and almost shot for shot,
the crucial contest of the civil war
Is shown and every electrical device
OF the present day Is made use of.
The war boats are propelled by cleo
tricity from hidden switch room, |
which Is suspended above the audi
ence, and even the gun fire from the
boats Is controlled by the electricians.
When the battle is over and the Mon
itor and Merrimac, each unwhipped,
have retired from the scene of action.
a reproduction of Rear, Admiral Rob
ley evans world girdling fleet comes
into view, with the Connecticut show
Ing signals for home and anchor
age" and the sight is one to bring
patriotic cheers from the coolest.
The spectacle is considered one of
the most valuable productions at the
exposition, from an educational stand Il
point and in view of it's educational
teatures, every school teacher in the
state of Washington has been pro-
5ided with a season pass by the man
lgement.

SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON BY REV. DR.. LlNSCOTT FOR THE INTER-
NATIONAL NEWSPAPER BIBLE STUDY CLUB

! Verse 22--What made the multi
I tude SO angry at Paul and Silas, an
is any reliance ever to be placed ur
on the excited attitude Of larg
crowd?
Do religious differences still max
the people hate one another?
Does worldly gain, today play an,
part in religious intolerance?
Verse 23-Why did God spermi
such cruelty to his faithful servants
Why is It that godly people Otter
ahye to go through very exquisite
suffering? ia
Verse 24-Say why it is possibl,
for any good man in prison, lyinf
upon a raw back, with his feet fas,
In the stocks, to be as happy as 8
man in health, and at liberty?
Does a good mans influence cease
when he is imprisoned and his limbs
are fettered?
In looking back over the results
of his imprisonment, would Paul and
Silas be apt to regret this painful in
cident?
Verse 25Is there any circum-
stance SO painful, or disastrous, that
prayer and praise cannot turn it in
to joy and victory?
II we prayed and sang more in our
private lives, and in our families,
would we have more JOY and glad
ness?
Verse 26-Was this earthquake the
result Of the prayer Of Paul and Silas,
or was it natural event?
Does God today work out for his
people, practically the same results as
are here recorded?
Verses ~, 2S-Why did the jailer
decide upon suicide, and is such a
course ever justifiable?
Verses 20, 30-Was it natural fear
or religious conviction, that now ope-
rated in the jailer?
What did the jailer desire to be
saved from?
Verse 31-What precisely did they
mean by believing ON the Lord
Jesus?
May father or mother believe in
Jesus, SO as to assure the salvation
Of their children? (This question is
to be answered in writing by MEM
bers OF the club.)
Verse What is ''the word of
the Lord, and may a person know
hat word, first hand, who is not per-
'onally acquainted with the Lord?
Verses 33, 34-Can the grace of |
Tod suddenly turn a cruel and brutal
nan, into a tenderhearted Christian? |
Verses 35-40-May we be confident
hat there will always be happy
ending to all our trials?

Verses 16-21-In what class do
you place those who profit by the
sins of fallen women?
This young woman was possessed
with a very clever spirit of evil, an
all round spirit of deception, includ-
ing fortune telling; now wherein did
her sin consist, and that of her own
ers?
Which are the more to be blamed
in these days, fortune tellers or their
willing dupes?
When bad men are losing the gains
of their evil occupation, are they apt
to be careful of the truth, when they
are after the good men who have de-
stroyed their business? For example
the liquor dealers?
