CHECKS LESS THAN $500.
Revised Penal Code of the U. S
Prohibits Them.

According to section 179 of the
revised penal code of the United
States, which was approved March
4, 1909, if you write check for less
than $1.00 you will make yourself
liable for fine and Imprisonment.
This section of the code mentioned
provides that no person shall make
issue, circulate, or pay out any note,
check, memorandum, token, or other
obligation for a less sum than $1.00
intended to circulate as money or to
be received or used in LEW of lawful
money Of the United States" The
maximum fine is $500, the maximum
Imprisonment for six months. The
report of congressional proceedings
shows that the section was passed
without objection, although the
reading of any other section was
attended by considerable discussion.
It seems reasonable to suppose that
something else than bank checks
was in the minds of the lawmakers
as this section was read and passed.
Hundreds of merchants all over
the country are pouring in protests,
for if the law is to be taken literally
it will cause no end of inconvenience
and trouble in the settlement of
small accounts, especially with those
who do mail order business.
Leon bankers are not disposed to
consider the matter of any import
ance. To quote one of them: mo
check, no matte! how great IT how
small the AMOUNT. is lawful Jno::ty'.
1t is convenience in settling an ac-
count. If the law was made to pre-
vent the writing of a check less than
81. 100 it's enforcement will work a
hardship. If it is merely matter of
the correct Interpretation of the law
there should be no need of agita-
ton to have the language changed"

Saturday evening a few minutes
before the Methodist church was
struck, a bolt of lightning struck
Elmer Lanes barn just south Of
town. In few moments the barn
was burned to the ground. Beside
the building a new buggy, set of har-
ness, about three dozen chickens and
some seed corn wSre destroyed. Some
calves were in the barn and after be-
ing taken out they tried to get back
in and endeavoring to save them the
rest of the stuff had to be neglected.
The loss was partially covered by in

PROF. GAY ON BAPTISM and
TEMPTATION OF Christ

giver of the new covenant, should act
in the same way. Was not all this
intended to show that Gods kingdom
down on earth was to be spiritual and
divine THAT it should not consist
in meat and drink, but in righteous
ness, peace, and joy in the Holy
Ghost? Rom. 14.17. Relative to the
forty days fast Of Moses there is a
beautiful saying in Talmudist: is it
possible that any man can fas. forty
days and forty nights? To which Rab-
bi Meir answers, when thou takest
up thy abode in any particular city,
thou must live according to it's Gus
TOMS Moses assembled to heaven,
where they neither eat nor drink;
therefore became assimilated to them
We are accustomed to eat and drink
and, when angels descend to us, they
eat and drink also. Moses, Elijah, and
our blessed Lord could fast forty days
and forty nights, because they were
in communion with God, and living a
heavenly life.
From the whole we may learn !:
First, no man, however holy, is ex-
empt from temptations, for God mani.
tested in the flesh was tempted by the
devil.
"'For the kingdom of God is not
meat and drink; but righteousness
and peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost.
BY Sword Of Spirit.
Secondly, that the best way to foil
the adversary is by the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God
Thirdly, that to be tempted to the
greatest denominations while a per.
son resists) is not sin; for Christ was
tempted to worship the devil.
"Fourthly, that there is no temptation
which is from its own nature, or fav
oring circumstances, irresistible. God
has promised to bruise even Satan
under our feet.
Let us observe again:
First, that the fear of being tempt
ed may become a most dangerous
snare.
Secondly, that when God permits
a temptation or trial to come he will
give grace to bear or overcome it.
Thirdly. that our spiritual interest
shall be always advanced, in proper
ton to our trials and faithful resist
ance.
Fourthly, that more than ordinary
measure of Divine consolation. shall
be the consequence of every victory

is far more important than all the
others put together. 1t is well known
that the quality of timber in general
use is deteriorating each year, so
much so in many respects as to cause
complete revision in the specifica-
lions for grading it. This is due
chiefly to the partial exhaustion of the
better grades, which has forced the
utilization of the poorer qualities
This deterioration in quality natural

The enormous amount of nearly
ten billion board feet of structural
timber is destroyed each year in the
United States; and of this amount
nearly eight billion, or eighty-one per
cent, is due to decay.

That much of this timber can be
saved by proper methods can readily
be shown. If all the timber were

Interesting Paper Read By HIM
AT Meeting OF The Brooklyn
Epworth League.

The following paper was prepared
and read by Prof. j. c. Gay, of Brook
lyn, Miss, at the literary meeting of
the Epworth League there last Sunday
night:
I'VE cannot attach so very much
importance to the baptism of Christ.
He said himself that it merely became
him to fulfill all righteousness. How
remarkable the following words of
Gresham, addressing his disciple,
Arjoon, he says. 4 myself have not
in the three regions of the universe,
anything which is necessary for me
to perform; nor anything to obtain,
which is not obtained; and yet live
in the exercise of my moral duties. II
/ were not to perform the moral
actions, this world would fail in their
duties; | should be the cause of spur
ious births, and should drive the
people from the right way. AS the ig.
norant perform the duties of life from
a hope of reward, so the wise man, out
of respect to the opinions and preju-
dices of mankind, should perform the
same without motives of interest.
The wies man, by industriously per-
forming all the duties of life, should
induce the vulgar to attend to them.
And in Eek. IS: 1921, the person
who hath done Righteousness and
mercy, is he who sacredly attends to
the performance of all the religious
ordinances mentioned in that chapter.
and performed them in that genuine
spirit of mercy.
Is An Ordinance.
But was this an ordinance? I'm.
doubtedly; it was the initatory ordi-
nance Of the Baptist's dfspensation
Now, as Christ had submitted to cir
cumcision, which was the initiatory
ordinance of the Mosaic dispensation
it was necessary that he should SUBJ
NIT to this, which was instituted by
no less an authority, and was the in
PRODUCTION to his own dispensation of
eternal mercy and truth. But it was
necessary on another account: Our
Lord represents the high priest, and
was to be the high priest over the
house of God: Now, as the high priest
was initiated into his office by wash
ing and amounting, so must Christ;
and hence, he was baptized, washed
and anointed by the Holy Ghost. Thus
/ he fulfilled the righteous ordinance of
his initiation into the office of high
priest, and thus was prepared to make
an atonement for the sins of mankind.
Then was Jesus led up of the Spir-
it. This transaction appears to have
taken place Immediately after Christ's
baptism; and this bringing up of
Christ was through the influence OF
the Spirit of God; that Spirit which
had rested upon him in his baptism.
| ITO be tempted. The first act of the
ministry of Jesus Christ was con-
flict with Satan. Does not this re.
ceive light from Gen. 8: II? I will
put enmity between the woman's seed
and thy seed; it shall bruise thy head
and thou shall bruise his heel.
