NEW CONSTRUCTION
ON BANKRUPTCY ACT

The practice heretofore followed in
the Unised States Courts Of appointing
a special referee to examine into the
affairs OF an alleged bankrupt before
the entry of an adjudication has been
declared improper by Judge Bradford,
in an opinion filed in the United States
Appellate Court in the caes Of Fritz
Skubinslxy vs.. w. Bodez Company ct al.
Heretofore in many cases Of alleged
bankrupts, If the receiver found evil
dence to sustain a charge Of intent to
hinder and defraud by the removal Of
assets, a special referee was appointed.
This was done shortly after the filing
Of an involuntary petition and before
an adjudication was entered. The le-
gality Of this procedure was never
questioned until a special referee was
appointed TO investigate charges of
fraud in the Slxubinsky case. In that
case creditors filed petition on No
vember 6, 1908, and on the same day
Wolf Bodez was appointed receiver. on
November u the receiver had a special
referee appointed.

BILL OF LADING RULINGS
Commission Makes Clear Two Rules Of
Interest to Shippers.


Two new bill Of lading rulings by the
Interstate Commerce Commission are
Of interest to shippers:
"A bill Of lading showed both a rate
and a route. but the rate did not apply
over the route named. Held: That in
all such cases the shipment should be
forwarded via the route over which
the stated rate applies unless the rate
via the specified route makes lower in
which event the specified routing must
be followed"
"a carriers tariff provided higher
rates on shipments not rendered with \
uniform bill of lading may not be
taken by the carrier as evidence Of the
shippers election 10 use the higher
rate The carrier must direct his at
tention TO the fact that a lower rate
is available under the uniform bill OF

is no need to quarrel over pulpits.
There are always plenty of people
eager to hear real preaching. In
every large community a man can
build up a congregation of the utterly
~unchurched The marvel is why
more young ministers, instead of can
didating around for calls, do not go
out into virgin soil and build up their
own churches. There is no JOY quite
like that of having your own work.
Two years IN Ephesus made Paul
and his teaching town talk. Not only
were many converts gathered to him,
but the whole great community was
aware that a new messenger and a
new message had come to the city. A
living gospel cannot be hid. was
interested to inquire one time of a
p of Japanese gentlemen in
the city of Okayama how many of the
people in that city had heard of the
"Yasu" Way. Without hesitation
they responded that every man, wo-
man and child in Okayama knew of
the Christian religion.

sonal gain, and which conceives of
the church only as a money-making
opportunity. Such an evil may be
found anywhere in the world. Every
leader of a great movement has had
business propositions from these peo-
pie, keen to see the main chance
the modern NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Of the seven sons of SceVa.
Paul was a healer as we'll as a
preacher, and he had worked miracles
in the mighty name of Jesus. They
employed it merely as a magician
adopts a new trick from a successful
rival. The demons knew the real
power in the master word Jesus. as
evil always knows the good. SO the
demon answered, Jesus I know. and
Paul know, but are YEP" There
upon the demoniac leaped upon them
and wounded them sorely, 50 that the
incident became a nine days wonder
Best of all, the name of the Lord
Jesus was magnified. Credit went
where it belonged. Somehow the
episode recalls the manly statement
of Lieutenant Shackleton, the oOur-
ageous Briton who recently penetrated
almost to the South Pole. who in his
written report since returning home
has declared that only a special Prov
idence saved him from the perils Of
his trip. 1T was during this period
that some Power beyond our own
guided our footsteps. If we acknowl-
edged this, as we did, down among the
ice foes, it is only fitting thai we
should remember it now when the
same Power has brought us safe home
through all these troubles and perils.'
In honor of the Christ and his pow
er the magicians brought their books,
to the value Of 100000, and made a
vast bonfire of them. So there have
of late been great bOnfires of opium
~paraphernalia in China. Similarly
there ave been heaps of idols whose
burning has spelled out the power Of
the name of Jesus. For from this
old Ephesian Incident we are remind
ed that naught should be permitted to
stand between a soul and it's loyalty
to God.
