After His return from the detour
through the regions Of Tyre, Sidon ana
Decapolis, Jesus returned to Capernium
for the last time. II was but a rev
months before the PASSOVER; II was sun
unwise for Him to remain IN the ter
ritory of Herod, so He went into the re-
gion of Pirea. It was on His way 10
Jerusalem, toward which He had stead
tasty set His face to go, although he
fully realized that the opposition ana
hatred of the Jews was SO intense that
TO go there meant certain death. His
work of preparation was nearly done, He
had revealed the Father, He had shown
men what God is. and the only thing left
was for Him to give His life ransom
for many, that He might show men the
fullness of Gods love and of His hatred
of sin, that He might redeem them from
the curse of the law by being made
curse for them.
1t was on His way to Jerusalem that a
number of incidents occurred that havo
been recorded for us, two OF which we
study today. AS He passed along many
mothers brought their children to them
that He might pray for them, that He
might take them in His arms and bless
them. The disciples finally became out
ragged that so many should annoy Him In
that way. 1t seemed to them useless
superstition. But Jesus was grieved at
their attitude and rebuked them severely
with what has been the most tender in
vitation to little children we have ever
known.
CHILDREN COMING TO JESUS.
1 do not know but that there are many
descendants of the disciples today num-
bered among the followers of Jesus even.
There are found entirely too many who
v1ynr no shirt M
is turning to Christ, advising that such
an one is too young, to walt until 1t
comes to years of discretion, and such
stuff. The preacher or parent, who re-
fuses to let a child confess Jesus as
personal Saviour because it is too young
takes upon himself a terrible response
bility.
1t is matter of history that Polycarp,
the great preacher of the early church,
became a Christian and united with the
church at five years of age; he had So
years in which to serve his Lord. Ger
tainly no mistake was made here in al
lowing him to unite so young. Not only
history proves the wisdom Of that, but
observation will justify it. Anyone who
watches children carefully will be driven
to the conclusion that the quality of their
faith is very superior; nor is 1t blind
faith; 1t is intelligent, simple, vigorous
implicit. Why should such De kept from
Christ? 1 remember hearing very
prominent evangelist tell of a bit of his
own family life. His little girl confessed
her faith in Jesus as her personal Sa-
viour and asked to unite with the church.
Her father told her to wait a few months
and then If she still felt like doing so,
he would see about It. The following
Sabbath he invited all who loved the Lord
and trusted Him as their personal Sa-
viour to partake of the Lords supper He
was surprised to see his little girl par
taking. Before the next communion when
he intended to give her an opportunity TO
make public profession and unite with
the church, she had gone home. He said
he would never prevent another from
coming when application was made.

ADJOURNs
UNTIL NOVEMBER
-
During Recess Differences Be-
tween Lords and Commons
May Be Settled
Aug. 3.-Parliament

LONDON. Aug. 3.-Parliament ad-
journed today until November Is.
During the recess the conferences be-
tween the leaders trying to settle the
constitutional differences Of the mouse
of lords and the house OF commons
will be continued and the expectation
is entertained that a compromise may
be reached and possibly announced upon
the reassembling Of parliament NOV
is. Several of the points In dispute
have been adjusted and Premier AS
quith, in a statement to tao commons
July 20, reported that discussions had
so advanced during II meetings as TO
render it, in the opinion of all OF Gle
conferees not only desirable, but neces-
sary, that they should continue.
BUDGET ADOPTED.
The most important work of the new
parliament, whose sittings were inter-
rupted Tor a time by the death OF
King Edward, has been the adoption OF
Chancellor Lloyd-Georges contested
budget, the struggle over which our
ing the preceding parliament brought
the long standing controversy between
the commons and the lords to head
and caused the dissolution OF PARIS
ment and new election. Premier As
uuith's cabinet having been sustained
at the elections, though the govern
ed as to make them dependent uSon
the support of the Irish members, the
budget was adopted without extended
further discussion and under the lnrlu-
ence of the kings death both parties
were inclined to seek friendly adjust
ment of the dispute over the lords
power to veto rather than precipitate
new elections while the nation was still
mourning its monarch's death.
FRIENDLlER FEELINGS.
Friendlier feelings OF the parties
also were noticeable in the discussion
Of the bill modifying the kings acces-
sion declaration, the old time phrases
against the Roman Catholic doctrine
inherited from an age of religious big
otry, being eliminated, and the decla-
ration being made acceptable to all the
kings subjects, non-conhrmists, as
we'll as Roman Catholics.
The woman suffrage bill, which after
preliminary discussion, was buried IN
committee of the whole, and other con-
tested measures, were deferred until
the autumn meeting of parliament.

A Good SUGGESTION

Dear Miss Thomas: l am the mother OF three
little ones and, like many others, l have my
heart and hands full; but manage to find time
TO read and study, for l am trying to complete
nv education, which was cut off by early mar
rage The great mistake that most people
make after marriage is to think all necessary
effort for mental improvement is left with their
college days and they just content year
after year to travel on in the same old rusty
rut never reaching out after possibilities that
are in reach Of all who willing to make
the effort.
Perhaps there are others situated as myself
and are actually hungering for just the plan
am going to offer, and that is this: Let
form a club called Our Mutual Benefit club
Take a course of study, for instance: History
first; ask questions on It, send them to the
paper and have others answer. In this way
we can broaden our minds and how much more
useful lives will be!
I will just ask few questions on English his
tory: \
What queen Of England poisoned her husband
by mistake and afterwards died a beggar?
Who first gave England written lawsf
What English king disguised himself as a
harper and played in the tent of his enemy7
When was the Norman conquest7
What are the conditions that have made Eng
land what she is1
Who was England's greatest king1
As am trying to educate myself, will some
one who knows please give me a list OF books
that are self-educating7 l want the very
best on all subjects. AGNES FORD.

IS PREPARING
OHIO VALLEY EXHIBIT
Resources and Productions
Will Be Displayed At Gin
cinnati-Georgia's Exhibit

The railroads of the south have COM
bined to exhibit Industrial products Of
the south at the Ohio Valley exposition,
which opens August % at Cincinnati and
closes September "a, and speciaPcommit-
tees of experts, representing these roads,
are at work throughout the south max
ing selections of products to be put on ex-
hibition. ~ ..
The varied resources and productions In
Georgia offer material for exhibits that
will cause the Georgia exhibit to be one
Of the most interesting displayed.
When plans were made for the Ohio
Valley exposition 1t was decided that 1t
should be industrial and that the south
and the Ohio valley should have equal
opportunity Of displaying their products.
Southern manufacturers, producers, and
general industrial promoters are busy
planning a campaign for the exploitation
of the products, resources. and advant-
ages Of the south, and indication are
that more far-reaching results are to be
secured than through any similar move
ment that has been started in the south.
Certain sections of the south have
promised to establish working exhibits
in the exposition in order that the gen
eraI visitor may see, not only the fin
ished product, but also the method OF
it's production, cotton, lumber and other
staples of the south being subjected to
various processes to show how their by
products are secured. The idea Of hav-
ing working or Tive exhibits, also will
he carried out in the displays of va
rious Ohio valley industries, working
models of harvesting machines, coal
mines. chocolate factory, shoe manufac-
turing plant, wooden mill and many oth-
ers being among the exhibits for which
snace has been reserved in the various
buildings which comprise the exposition
in its entirety. =
Another method by which the south
with its vast resources and possibilities,
will be brought to the favorable and
convincing attention of her northern
neiahbors at this exposition, is by
most naRnanimous arrangement sug-
guested by the EXPOSITION management
