also supposed that Washington was in

days before for conference with Ro-

hasty breakfast and crossed to West
Point, expecting to find Arnold there.
The officers at that post declared that
they had heard nothing from Arnold for
two days Washington's suspicious were
aroused. He returned at once to Bev
erly, where he was met by Hamilton
with papers that revealed ArnOld's
treachery. BY this time Mrs. Arnold had
recovered consciousness, but was frantic
with grief and apprehension. Washing
ton believed her innocent of all knowl-
edge of her husbands guilt, and did
everything in his power to soothe her.
A few days later Arnold wrote Wash

host, to take him in boat to the British

river to convey him back to New York.
Smith refused and persuaded Andre to
return to New York by land. 1t was

Andre to exchange his military for citi-

Twenty of the patrons of School
District No. AZ, met at the Tabernacle
last Saturday afternoon and after
much talking and planning agreed
that they wanted a school patterned
after the Central school idea, with
two rooms for starter.
"a A special election was called to
vote on changing the schoolhouse site
to the northwest corner of the South
west quarter of section 10, Township
4, Range 80. This site is in the APP
proximate center of the district and
within half mile of the locataion Of

Here's hoping that all the patrons

possible, and we feel certain that the
best way to accomplish this IL to

similar circumstances? This ques
tiOn must be answered in writing b,

May any person who is not playint
double with God. safely trust "the in

circumstances?
/ Verses 81, 2S-Philip found thai
he had not come on FOOLS errand
now is it not Invariably so, that re.
suits Of tomorrow, always justify the
faith vision of today?
Seeing this Ethiopian was man
of exalted position, in a foreign coun-
try, what was the significance of
Philip being sent to him?
Verse 29-When Philip saw this
mans chariot looming up in the dis
lance, perhaps after days or weeks
of waiting, with more or less doubt;
he got the impression that this was
his opportunity; now from whom did
he get the impression?
With what sort of voice did the
Holy Spirit speak to Philip?
II we should learn that the Holy
Spirit used the circumstances, and
Philips reasoning processes, his hope
and his fears, as Gods voice, would
that be as really the voice of the Holy
Spirit, as If words were spoken by

Is 1t always safe for us to do as the

Verse 30--Was this Ethiopian a

II man devoutly searches the

Verses 31-34-Where in the Bible
is the passage which the Ethiopian
was reading?
Is it always necessary, that some
one should explain the Scripture to
us?
Can we understand the Scriptures
or get the full import of any fact,
without the aid of the Holy Spirit?
Why could not, or why did not, the
Holy Spirit explain this Scripture to
the Ethiopian direct?
AS a matter OF fact, was not the
Holy Spirit guiding the Ethiopian as
much as he was Philip?
Was Isaiah conscious when he
wrot these words, that they applied
to esus; or did he think that he was
describing some other person or per-
sons?
Did not the prophets, as other in
spired men, often write more wisely
than they knew?
Verses 35-3S-Did this Ethiopian
need converting the same as a will
full sinner, or did he, as devout
child of God simply recognize Jesus
as the sent of God, and was then bap-
tiled in his name?

leave in natural manner?

PROPERTY RIGHTS BILL.
Although public impression yester-
day was to the contrary, the Idaho
state Federation Of Women's clubs
suffered defeat Wednesday when the
senate. in committee of the whole,
voted to recommend senate bill No.
102 for passage. Two years ago the
women of the organization worked
hard to change the law concerning
the distribution of community prop
erty, to get the wife placed on an
equal footing with her husband. The
best they could attain at that time
was the law as 1t exists in the state
of Washington, where 1t had been on
the statute books for many years.
Wish to Hold Ground.
While they have not asked for any
change in the law at this session OF
the legislature. they are anxious to
hold the ground gained two years
ago. Senate bill No. 102 is long
step backward as it gives all the
community property, on the death OF
the wife, to the husband without ad-
ministration, and only one-half to the
wife on the death Of the husband,
and gives the husband the power to
dispose Of one-half Of the property by
will, while the wife can dispose Of
nothing. However. II there are no
children, the wife gets all the prop
erty, although she needs it far less
than the woman who is left with chill
dren to support.
House Measure Approved.
House bill No. 165, now pending in
the judiciary committee Of the house,
which gives both husband and wife
the right to will away one-half Of the
community property and when no
