DIR. Bingham, in trip across

he attended the first Pan-American

place where the rulers of the Incas

THE END OF THE WORLD
AN ETERNAL PROBLEM.

The terrible catastrophe in Italy
which caused the inhabitants of the
ill-fated city of Messina to believe
that the end of the world had come is
only pretaste on a small scale Of
what many eminent scientists believe
will be the end of the world. The
eternal problem of how the world will
end is In the opinion of many
matter for scientific Investigation,
and 1t is curious that the majority
believe that the earth will open up
and fly to pieces in the most gigantic
earthquake ever known, an earth
quake that will wipe all life from the
globe before the actual destruction
of the earth is complete, says Gas
sells Saturday journal.
The late Grant A lien firmly believ
ed that the world would end by the
crust of the earth eventually giving
way beneath the colossal weight
above it; and A bbe Dupin, one of the
greatest scientists of France, believes
that doomsday will begin with war
that will envelope the greatest nations
in Europe, this being followed by a
plague the like of which has never
been known, eliminating with an
earthquake that will practically
shake the world to pieces.
Ii. q. Wells, whose scientific pro-
phecies are we'll known, ia however,
of different opinion. The world
will end, he declares, by its becom-
ing entirely frozen over. 1T is we'll
known fact that every year more ice
acoumulates around the poles; In
short, many millions of tons of Ice
in excess of that of the year previous
settle about the earth's extremities

Golden Text Faith without works
is dead. James ii 20.
Verse 14-What does James mean
here by "faith.'
Can man have true faith, if he is
not filled with love for his fellows
and doing all he can to help them.
If man "say he hath taith," what
is the test of whether he is telling
the truth.
Are there those to-day, who say.
and probably think, they have faith,
but lacking loving hearts, and the
fruits of love, are deceiving them
selves.
What Is a Christians proof to him
self, that he is not deceived man in
claiming to be in the favor of God.
Verses l5, 16-How do you class
those who see people in need of food,
and clothing. and do not do all they
can to supply the need.
Which person more nearly re-
sembles Jesus, the one who talks
very piously, and prays with the
needy. but giving them no help, or
the one who generously supplies the
need without any religious preten-
sions.
II a man helps the needy to supply
their own needs, is that as we'll or
better. than supplying the needs
direct.
Is it possible for church to be do
ing full Christian service which is
not helping the needy, either in it's
own, or some other community.
Verses II, 19-ls it possible to show
faith without works.
Amador ledger., 1909-05-28

Have all those who, with loving
hearts, are engaged in good works,
also got saving faith, whether they
profess to have it or not, and whether
they are mem bers of the church or
not, and whether or not they are even
orthodox in their views.
Have any, who attend church regu-
larly and profess to be religious, but
are harsh with the poor, give nothing
to charity, and care nothing for the
needy. got saving faith.
Have those got saving faith who
pray for the poor and needy, and for
the sick and suffering, and yet do
nothing to feed the poor or comfort
the sick.
Verses 10, 20 is there any moral
merit in mere orthodoxy, or is there
any essential moral blame in mere
heterodoxy.
Granted a man with the spirit of
Jesus, engaged in good works, what
does he lose by being heterodox, and
what does he gain by being orthodox.
Verses 81 -26-When God told Abra-
ham to leave his own country and to
start for another that God would
show him, was there any other way
that be could have faith In God, but
by actually starting on the journey.
What is the meaning of, land
braham believed God and it was
imputed unto him or righteousness.
LOVE is an essential part of faith,
and love implies action, or good
works. hence is 1t at all possible for a
person to have faith who is not
engaged in good works. (This ques-
tion must be answered in writing
