The Importance of Peace in Manchuria

The Importance of Peace in Manchuria
\ determination to insure the con
tinuance of peace in the Far East is
evidenced III the Independent protests of
the United States and Great Britain
against the exercise by Russia Of terri
torial rights at Hardin, in Manchuria.
Russia has been showing a disposition To
cling to Manchuria despite the terms of
the treaty of peace with Japan signed
at Portsmouth, and naturally Japan is
herself 10th to let go i'll view of Russian
tenacity-
As the movement 81 Russians into
Manchuria was primarily the cause of
the war with Japan, that great province
is the most conspicuous bit of territory
involved in the treaty of peace which
insured its retention by China with a
door open for trade with 0ccidentaly ma
tions. The Japanese felt that with the
Russians overrunning Manchuria. and
threatening to absorb Korea also. there
was too much danger for the future. so
they fought the Russians. and secured
far more than the use of Korea as
buffer. in the practical return to China
IF a large province that was being TAX
Ell from her by the process of absorption
Having released this province to its orig
inal owners. Russia is now in duty
bound to remain within her own bounda>
ries, and Japan likewise pledged not to
interfere with conditions which would
have been considered eminently satisfac-
tory before war was declared against
Russia.
1t is stated that Germany also
is anxious that the status quo in the
Far East established by the treaty of
Portsmouth should remain undisturbed.
This is doubtless true. Peace i'll Man
churia will insure a steady development
of tribe with the leading manufacturing
nations Of the world. 1t is province
of great extent. and its cosmopolitan
population is farther advanced than the
people of China proper and therefore
very important to the world from d
business standpoint. Manchuria is prac-
tically the gateway for trade into eastern

READ THE LABEL.

Under the Pure Food Laws baking

of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the Importance

pure cream of tartar powder will read
the back of the label carefully and make
sure that the ingredients mentioned in.
clu0e cream of tartar
The sood law does not force consumers;
it merely helps them to protect them
selves. All good housekeepers want
cream of tartar baking powders, and will
not use alum substitutes in the food, if
they know it. As the ingredients are
printed on the back of the label, all may
know the facts.
Good baking powder is one of the most
useful things in the kitchen; it is easily
obtained at any store; the better 1t is,
the more economical it is in cooking
materials. and the more it conseryes the
health of the family.

North Dakota's Industrial Discovery.

Important results have followed Sc
ries of experiments at the University of
North Dakota with the Ignite of which
large beds exist in that state.
The employment of Ignite i'll the
manufacture Of Illuminating gas has
been Improbable, for the reason
that no use could be found for
the fixed carbon remaining as Il
by-product in the form of unmarked
able powder. The experiments at the
University have demonstrated that for
making producer gas the Ignite has few
equals, and employed for that purpose
will make possible saving of II per
cent. i'll comparison with Ohio bitumin-
minOuS coal.
Great enthusiasm has been aroused in
Western North Dakota by the prospect
that by reason of this discovery the re
gion will undergo an industrial revOlu-
ton. Large power plants. it is expect
ed, will be constructed to use the waste
Ignite products from the mines CON
verting them into electricity which can
be transmitted to the towns for lighting
and for supplying power for manufact-
uring.
The discovery affords an illustration
of the value of the modern university as
a business investment. Competition be-
tween manufacturing nations is growing
greater year by year, and indus
trial mastery is dependent upon
economies in production which will
permit the making of low prices
\ large part of Germany's re
markable success during recent years is
attributed to the assistance which her
highly educated chemists have been able
to afford to her captains of industry by
disclosing new and cheaper sources of
raw materials aud new and cheaper pro
cesses of manufacture. With many such
practical demonstrations as that which
North Dakota has witnessed American

declared from the very first by all the

was not made actually possible until
the Redeemer came and laid down his

merely fulhllment Of another feature
OF the Divine Plan to make the bless
ing OF all mankind the deeper and
broader.
BY virtue OF keeping the Law, Jesus
would have had the right to earthly
perfection for himself, eternal life and
happiness. He also would have been
heir OF all the things that Adam pos
sessed and lost. He might. therefore,
have established an earthly empire
and, by wise laws and regulations, he
might have done much for human up
llft--the very thing which people today
are wanting to bring about. But his
subjects would still have been under
the Divine condemnation of death. He
would merely have been the ruler, In
structor, Of fallen, dying men. God's
promise of blessing meant more than
this. And in harmony with Il our Lord
Jesus did not keep his earthly rights
but surrendered them, sacrificed them,
laid them down on our behalf. The
laying down of these earthly rights
was finished at Calvary. Since this
sacrificing was done In harmony with
the Divine purpose, the Heavenly Ba'
ther rewarded the sacriflcer with n new
life on higher plane, "far above an
gels and principalities and powers"
Thus when Jesus was raised from
the dead on the third day he was no
longer n man, but spirit being, par
taker OF the Divine nature, far above
angels. More than this, he had his
earthly rights which he had sacrificed,
and these now constituted IN asset or

PEOPLES PULPIT.
Sermon by
CHARLES T.
RUSSELL.
Pastor Brooklyn
Tabernacle.

Sunday, Oct. 3.-Pastor Russell, Of
Brooklyn Tabernacle, preached today
on the above text He said:-
Looking about us in the world we
find abundant corroboratlon for the
Scriptural declaration that instead Of
the Divine blessing resting upon the
earth there Is n curse" or a blight
upon It. Accordingly st. Paul wrote,
"The whole creation groaneth aud
travaileth I'm pain together" In the
context he declares the relief from
this groaning conditlon-out of the
bondage Of corruption into the liberty,
favor and blessing TO follow He In
dicates that this blessed "change" will
come through the manifestation of
the sons Of God" and intimates also
that these sons of God are now being
"called" and Will shortly be "glorlned'
and thus be empowered to do the work
of blessing for the groanlng creation,
relieving them Of the burden Of sin and
death.
Still the question arises, Why should
humanity be so differently circum
stanced from the angels? Why should
not holiness and purity and freedom
from sorrows and pain and death pre-
vail on earth as we'll as In heaven?
Why should the great Creator so diff
ferently condition one branch Of his
creation from the other? True, the
Lords prayer tells us that we may
expect ultimately that Divine power
viii intervene and succor humanity.
The declaration, "Thy Kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as It Is done
In heaven" is more than prayer;
because uttered by our Lord Il is also
a prophecy of what viii ultimately OBJ
tain. But the question Is, Why should
It be necessary for us TO pray and TO
wait 20 subdue sin and 10 lift man.
kind out Of evil condltlons7 Why
should not Gods will have been done
on earth all along, as Il Is done In
heaven? Why have sin and death
been permitted TO "reign," as the
Scriptures declare?

The Bible alone answers our query.
II explains that originally our race
