Committee Of Ten.
Recommending the appointment OF a
committee of ten members to frame q
bill covering employers liability and
workmen's compensation for personal
injury, Tacoma's two-day liability con-
ference was closed by Governor M. q.
Hay at the Commercial Club last even
ing. The existing liability laws have
been attacked almost universally as
unjust and wasteful and in having
taken the important preliminary step
to secure passage of revision, the
conference is conceded to have made
a rapid stride in a direction which has
met with failure in other communi-
ties.

TASKS FOR GEORGE.

Who'll put a stop to angry words
Between the Commons and the Lords
And make them sheathe their verbal
words?
Let George do It.
Who'll bark to Egypt's bitter plea
And peace in Pharaoh's land decree
BY larger grants OF liberty?
Let George do II.
Who'll put an end 10 threat and boast
And lift the war-cloud from his coast
And bid the German Kaiser 'pros't?
Let George do 1t.
Who'll make his name forever stand

To gain Home Rule for Ireland?

advantages. God has decreed that
faith shall "come by hearing and hear
ing by the Word OF God" and that
none can believe except they hear.
and that none but the believing Will
have part In the Church's salvation
now being effected. But He has equal
'ly decreed and arranged for the great
mass OF mankind who have never had
the sufficiency of knowledge and OF
faith, that all may yet come TO
salvable condition. Indeed, God has
specially made the way Of faith In
this age a narrow" one, that there
by he may select a very special class.
But these selected or elected ones,
as the Scriptures show, are to be the
Royal Priests OF the next age, who
will enlighten and instruct all the
families OF the earth. Then "all the
blind eyes shall be opened and all the
deaf ears shall be unstopped." lisa.

things OF God are not obscure-of
those whose hearts are so in tune
with the Infinite One that the things
OF faith revealed to us In the Scrip
lures do not seem unreasonable.
Approaching these miracles from
the Bible standpoint, they are most
rational. but not from any other
standpoint. The power OF God, which
produces, in the recently discovered
"miracle-wheat," as much as two
hundred and fifty grains from one
kernel, Is surely sufficient to produce
many times as much II the necessity
occurred. Are we not surrounded by
miracles continually? Out of the same
ground and growing side by side we
get blue, red, white, yellow and pur-
pie flowers from seeds which we
could not tell apart; similarly with
animal life-the oats which constitute
the breakfast OF so many humans,

In the other seven basketsful. So
Matthews Gospel records both or
these miracles. In both instances
, there was a seeming necessity for the
miracle. and the necessity prompted
our Lords compassion and the use or
the Divine power 1t will be noticed
that in those instances, the Master
used for the benefit OF others the
special powers communicated to Him
at the time of His baptism through
the descent Of the holy Spirit; but we
recall that Jesus refused TO use this
same rower selflshly for His own CON-
fort, even when He hungered after
having spent forty days in the wilder
ness at the outstart or His work,
studying the Scriptures TO know the
mind Of the Lord, how He should SUI
fer and become the Mediator OF the
New Covenant.
Not all, even OF those who associat-
ed with our Lord, understood, appre-
ciated. believed In His wonderful
miracles. Where there Is a desire to
disbelieve there is also a possibility.
Indeed. the Scriptures are evidently
quite true in their assurances that
faith is a difficult matter at the
present time and that for this very
reason 1t Is specially appreciated OF
the Lord in those who profess to be
His followers. The Scriptures init
mate that faith Is gift OF God, while
at the same time, It is a matter OF
our own exercise. II is for God to set
forth the facts and bring them to our
attention. II Is for us TO be able 20
appreciate those facts and to exey-
else the faith corresponding AS the
Scriptures declare, "All men have not
faith" without faith IL is not pos
sible TO please God;" According to
thy faith be 1t unto thee"
God has not made faith equally
possible to all, in that He has not
given mankind the same opportuni-
ties for execising faith by not giving
all the same degree OF knowledge
upon which to base faith. And even
amongst those who have the neces-
sary knowledge. faith must depend
considerably upon the structure OF the
brain. Some people have scarcely
anything OF faith; others with a diff
ferent structure OF brain, are inclined
| to believe too much-to be credulous
and easily hoaxed.
