that labor and are heavy laden and Il
will give you rest. Matt. xi:28.
ID Verses 20-21-Have all sinners
the power to repent? Why or why
not?
Cd What reason can you give for
or against the view, that sinner
will Immediately repent, on the pre-
sentation Of the gospel. unless he re-
sists his good impulses?
CD Why did not Chorazin and
Bethsaida repent under the preach
ing of Jesus, when it was backed up
with such mighty works?
(4.) What is the woe which Jesus
pronounces upon the unrepentant?
90 Do sinners now, or will they
in the future, suffer any punishment
other than the natural results of sin
in themselves?
(6.) Verse 22-Will there be de-
grees in the punishment of the lost
and if so, by what method do you
suppose it will be gagged?
~ How and by what method, are
the just rewarded in this life, and
will the same method, probably, be
operative in the future life? (This
question may have to be answered in
writing by members of the cIub.)
ISL How far will the lowest man in
heaven, be from the highest man in
hell?
90 Verses .23-24-If Sodom would
have repented under the influences
which Capernaum rejected, does that,
or not, imply that it is simply a mat
ter of the strength of the influence
whether sinner repents or not?
(1O) If sinner rejects under one
influence and repents under a strong
er one. is it right to put the blame of
a sinner rejecting the gospel upon the
too weak influence brought to bear
upon him?
(11.) Are there influences, which
could be brought to bear, strong
enough to cause the most hardened
sinner 10 repent!
(12) Verse 25-Why or why not,
are culture, education and scientific
research, any necessary aid or hind
rance to spiritual discernment?
(13.) Why have children, and those
with child-like spirit, a keener spir-
itual vision, than others with more
knowledge?
(14.) Are uneducated people, with
the same kind of moral character,
more liable to see and yield to spirit
ual truth. than those who are highly
educated?
(15.) What are the eyes with which
we see spiritual truth are they of the
human intellect, or of the immortal
cess?
Q6.) Verse 26-Why did God make
spiritual perception not to depend
upon the intellect?
(17) Verse 27-ExpIain how, and

WASHINGTON obscure chap
w ter, it has long lain unread in
American annals, in spite of the in
terest that surrounds it. But now
that the United States has come to
take an active hand in the govern.
ment of Liberia, it is natural that the
founding of that old half-American,
half African-negro state should attract
our interest. Founded back in 1920
as home for the freed slaves from
this country, Liberia became a repub-
lie in 1847. Today its population num-
bers some 10000 Liberians along the
coast, while 100000 negroes run wild
in the interior. No white man can &C.
quire citizenship or own property.
By an arrangement with bankers in
this country, France and Germany and
with the approval of Liberia and the
European powers, loan of 100000
is to be fioated by our government to
the end of setting straight Liberian
finances and assisting the country to
establish itself upon firmer basis.
The United States will have control
of the little states financial, military
and agricultural departments and will
administer the republics relations
The popular accounts of the found
ing of Liberia credit the achievement
somewhat vaguely to the American
Colonization society, OF which Henry
Clay was president. There Is less

for the present tariff bar makes every
importer of edible eggs pay five cents
dozen for all he brings into the
country. Birds eggs are on the free
list
Another puzzling question is wheth-
er hens eggs that have been broken
up shall be taxed as eggs or albumen.
Chemically, the mess ready for the
making of omelets is albumen, but II
the court holds that they should
take the albumen duty 1t is feared
every importer will see to it that every
imported egg is smashed before it
gets to the custom house. The crack

to have such a decision made.
Is half duck, imported from China
two years ago, and still used as an
exhibit in the courts, bit Of pre-
served meat or dressed poultry? The
government insists it Is the former
and the Chinese importer insists that
1t Is not.
Another nut to crack: Is an auto
mobile a household effect? Patriotic
Americans returning from motoring in
Europe will be pleased to have the
court say it is. Under such deci-
sion they could take over with them a
few real household goods, set up light
housekeeping for a while, buy a
French automobile, and then return
to this country and do it all for less
than the amount of duty on high
priced automobile made in Europe.

TT A HEN is not a bird. why is a
/ pair of rubber boots an article OF
wooden wearing apparel? Funny ques-
ton, is it not? There are many 9TH
ers, but this one is enough to show
how Uncle Sam is puzzled at times to
properly classify imported articles SO
that the correct rate Of customs du-
ties may be levied and collected. In
the above case, it is simply because
the highest customs authority of the
land held that as the boots had Innings
in which there was an appreciate
quantity of wool they should bear the
rate prescribed for wooden apparel.
That same highest authority decided
that frogs legs are dutiable as poul-
try.
The customs court, q new judicial
body that is just getting down to bust
ness at Washington, already has many
cases that will cause the public to
laugh. One of the first questions for
it to decide is whether the hen is a
bird. Ornithologists would unhesitat-
ingly declare she Is, but the new
court is not composed of such men.

naturally in the shape Of immense

fiber, which is valuable for rope-ma-

Soldier of Fortune May Lose Rights

of a professor in the University OF
Athens and returned to America in
time to take up newspaper work at
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war.
He was able to speak several Ian
guages fuently, and especially Span
ish. There was great demand for
news from Cuba, and the genius OF
Nelken led him to make translations
from Spanish and Cuban newspapers.
for which he found ready market with
the Washington correspondents. His
success prompted him to fake" when
his news sources became exhausted.
One of these fakes" was dispatch
which he put forth all over the coun.
try, telling in most dramatic manner
of the attempted assassination of Gen.
eral Blanco, who was then governor
general of Cuba, and which caused q
great deal of excitement at the time.
Not long ago the captain turned up
in Constantinople and became involved
him to demand the protection of the
the American flag. He presented his
case at the embassy, and In endeav-
oring to establish the fact that he was
a naturalized American citizen, some
disclosures came to light regarding his
papers which led the American charge
to refer the matter to the state de-
partment.
The department in turn made IN
quiry at the district court, with the re-
suit that an order was issued requiring
him to show cause within sixty days
why his papers should not be can
celed.

FROGS FROM THE CLOUDS

week, Mr.. Jack Ayre of Temple Bot
tom, near Cruwys- Morchard, in Devon
shire, Eng, found long stretch OF
road covered with thousands of frogs,
which, 1t is declared. cried like rab'
bits
Mr.. Ayr expresses the opinion that
the frogs came down from the sky
and he is supported in this view by
another resident of the district, who
has experience of monsoons abroad.
This expert says that In the still
ness which precedes monsoons in trop
ical regions all sorts of creeping
things come out of their hiding places
They are often carried up into the all
by whirlwinds, and when the mon
soons break down they are deposited
again in transforms, as appears tc
have been the case at Cruwys-Mor

of life in this effort to open new
world to the slaves to Rev. Samuel
Bacon, an American minister of the
Episcopal church.
By act of congress, on March 5,
1919, the president was empowered to
create an agency in Africa for the
purpose of providing an asylum for
such Africans as should be liberated
by our ships of war from vessels
seized for violation of the law sup
pressing the traffic in slaves.
The government decided to send out
the ship of war Cyane and the trans
port Elizabeth with mechanics and Ia
borers under two agents for the pur-
pose of breaking ground for the re-
ception of liberated slaves. On Janu'
airy 8, 1920, having previously been In
the service of the colonization society,
Bacon received from President Mon
roe the commission making him the
head of the proposed expedition.
Thirty-nine families, compromising
SO families made up the company.
Great difficulty was experienced IN
finding not only place of settlement
but even one of debarkation.

among the members of the little band

was struck by lightning, and she got
such fright that she jumped out of

He MADE THE DOCTORS STARE.

Extraordinary fortitude was display
ed by a little Irish boy named Mich
ael Hanlon the other week in under
going an operation for the amputation
of a finger in Dublin hospital. While
holding a horse the youth wound the
cord round the middle finger of his
right hand, and the animal becoming
FESTIVE, jerked the cord with such vio-
lence that 1t severed the finger at the
first joint. Before he was put under
an anaesthetic the boy made the doc
tors stare by producing the severed
