the next call upon Him. 1t IS
most interesting study to trace the
quick action, successive services
right through this very@brief Cos
pei. The late DR.. Brooks, of St.
Louis, Mo-, tells US that the Greek
word here rendered Immediately
occurs some forty times in this
Gospel out of eighty times in the
New Testament, and ten times IN
the first chapter.
i In harmony with this aspect OF
Iesus as the Servant of Jehovah,
we find no long discourses in this
Gospel as in the others. 1t is not
| so much the servants business to
| teach as to work. Here are only
| four parallels and each one of them
IS concerned with service. Mark
informs us that Jesus ordained
twelve men that they should be
with Him, and that He might send
them forth to preach, and thus
: share in His service.
We have very remarkable sev.
, en-fold picture of Jesus mighty
working as the Servant of God II
i chapters 4:s5-6:6. (LOok up these
= and read carefuIly.)
In chapter 6:7-I3 we find Christ
commission to the Twelve. Thl

St. Marks dOspeI-A Book Study
BY REV. DR.. J. c. QUINN.

BY REV. DR.. J. c. QUINN
Christian character and chris
tian activity are inseparably con-
nected in the christian life. As
love to Christ is the great incent'
i've to christian activity, SO Bible
study is the leading factor in the
building up OF christian character
But it must be intelligent, syste-
.rnatic, devotional and daily Bible
study.
Paul urges the great Importance
,of Bible study when says, "Let
the Word of Christ dwell in you
richly"
ST. Marks Gospel will now
claim our attention: In this Cos
pei we see Jesus Christ set forth
as the Divine servant sent from
God to do our work and bear our
burdens for US, according to the
living creature described in Eze-
kiel and Revelation, which was
"like an OK"
This point of view is natural tc
Mark, as a servant of the Apos
tles. He would naturally regarc
Iesus as a Servant coming "not t'
be ministered unto but to minis
ter"
Consequently in Marks portray
al of Jesus as a servant, he give
no genealogy at all, since IN tn
life of a servant the importan
point is not the matter of descen
or ancestry, but how he does b
work All this cannot fail to b
very significant and must posses
for US many valuable lessons.
Here we have no record of Jesu
miraculous birth, nor any refe
.ence to His Messianic glory
kingdom, but we enter at on'
uoou our Lords life Of servi'
which he began as full grow
man at the age of 80 years.
The reader will note here he

Jesus at work. Here we bud Jss

ABDUL'S TREASURE HOUSE.

1t was only specially favored trav-
elers who could obtain permission to
view Abdul Hands treasure house in,
STEAMBOAT, say a writer in the Wide
World Magazine, and they had to be
prepared to spend about $25 In bak-.
sheesh. This was more ~excusable, per-
haps, When one considers the extern
sive ceremony inc the numerous Of
ficials required for this sight. The high
treasurer had to attend in person with
some 80 underlings, who ranged them
selves with folded hands In two rows
outside the first door while he SOL
EMMY removed the seals and turned
his key. Immediately within this door
was a huge iron gate, such as might
protect a fortress. Even when you
were at last let loose among the gilt
tering gems, you were 'still accom-
panied by q vigilant crowd of attend
ants, who watched your every move
ment- and probably one another as
well-lest you should suddenly break
open a case and endeavor to purloin
some Of the Jewels. These, however,
under the new regime, have mostly
been sold for the eneht Of the national
treasury.

FEMINISTS
STILL FAR BEHIND
American Idea so Years Ahead
of Them, Says Ethel Dean
Rockwell In Century"
From the Century.


Measured by American standards, or
those of other northern countries.
Frenchwomen, must yet travel far to
reach the point where these We're 80
years ago, writes Ethel Dean Rock
well, discussing 1.-THE. Feminist of
France" Americans accept as a mat
ter Of course liberty Of thought and
action, equal opportunities for study
n work, and the respect of men.
Frenchwomen are not generally Jos
sessed of these blessings. Why this
difference? Among many causes.
three stand out pre-eminent-social,
civil and religious reasons.
Socially, France belongs with the
Latin races. In these countries man
has generally treated woman with
gaHantry. but not respect, and has
received her attempts at higher life
in a spirit Of mockery which it has
been almost impossible to overcome.
Because her happiness depended ON
his good will, her one aim in life has
been to please him. AS Pierre de
Coulevain expresses it, she is en-
tirely absorbed by man and ma
ternity." The moral standard of both
men and women has been low, and the
well-known bargaining about the
dowry has added sordfdness. The case
or the teune file serves as an exam
pie. Her carefully guarded. restricted
life, her interests and her education,
not fitting her to think or to be of
service to her community, are too we'll
known to need amplification. It we'll
Illustrates how, in southern, countries,
their Latin heritage has been a strong
social factor in the retarded awaken
ing of women. ..&.&
In France these conditions were fixed
still more immutably by Napoleon's
civil code, which thus becomes the
second, or civil, reason. Napoleon's
only use for women was as producers
of more men for his wars. Make
them believers, not thinkers" was his
command. In legal status he classed
them with children, imbeciles and
criminals. A married woman could
possess no property; her husband
owned what she brought him in mar
rage n what she inherited or earned
thereafter. The pitiful plight of Bal
zac's Eugenie Grandet and her mother
was not an exceptional case, but the
rule. Furthermore, she could not
testify In civil suits, or be a witness
to any legal document, or have any
part in the family council for. the gov
eminent Of her children. Yet his
Frenchwoman. a nullity IN the eyes Of
h law, Is respected by all the world
for her marvellous common sense and
managing ability. So marked is this
that virtually all the petty retail BUSH
ness in the country is in her hands,
and she manages her business, her
children and her husband as a matter
of course.

WILSON HOME AGAIN;
WON'T TALK POLITICS
President Elect Says He Is
Giving All Attention Now to
Jersey Affairs.

New York. Dec. H.-The steamer
Bermudian, with President elect will
son aboard, docked here early this
morning.
Not an announcement as to politics
or anything else did the governor have
to make on his arrival. Il
I'm going to devote myself to New
Jersey affairs" he said. After a few
hours in New York he planned to go
direct to his home in Princeton, so as
to be on hand at the state house in
Trenton early tomorrow for the regu-
lar budget of state. -,.. M
The president-elect had with him his
annual message to the New Jersey leg
islature which meets on January IA. 1t
embodied every plank in the democratic
state platform. New Jersey is Just
now paramount in the governors mind
and It is quite likely that until he is
able to complete his program OF pro-
gressfve legislation he will o only
continue in office as governor, but will
not take up many of the preliminary
tasks OF office filing with respect to
his presidential administration.
AS to appointments, Governor Wilson
admits that while selections have been
running through his head he has not
decided on any post OF Importance and
has not even chosen a private secre-
tary. In"

TWO AVIATORS LOST
IN RAGING PACIFIC
Horace Kearney, Birdman, and
Chester Lawrence, Reporter,
Believed Dead.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 17.-Horace
Kearney, the young Kansas City av-
iator, who tried to master land and sea
in q hydroaeroplane flight from Los
Angeles to San Francisco, lost his fight
with the elements and with his passen-
ger. Chester Lawrence, a Los Angeles
newspaper man, almost certainly are
drowned In the angry waters OF the
Pacific ocean. 81.
A pontoon Of the hydroaeroplane
Snookums was picked up late Sunday
by q motor boat Off Redondo beach and
towed into Santa Monica by a party
OF fisherman n sailors. The search
for Kearney and Lawrence has been
without result except that Glenn n.
Martin, a fellow aviator, nearly met
Kearney's fate while attempting to
alight on the waves off Point Miguel,
where he was seeking the missing
young men. With every yard OF the
rough Malibu coast examined and the
oceans surface scrutinized, Il seems
assured that those who saw the Shook
swing out to sea an hour after
starting Saturday had the last & impse
of Kearney and Lawrence. Efforts at
organized search have been abandoned.
Engine trouble probably caused the
disaster. s Er

STORY OF THIEF NOT
SUSTAINED BY POLLY

Chicago, Dec. 17.-John Fujak, who
confessed he had been doing his new
years drinking early, assured NUM-
cipal Judge Courtney today hat a
Polish-speaking parrot invited him to
take a canary from a bird store last
night and that he had no purpose of
stealing the songster.
When 1 was looking in the window
of the store some on cried:
Come in said Fujak. II brought
out a dollar to, buy the bird, when the
voice said: Take it; everything Is
free 1t was the parrot talking in
Polish, your honor, but l thought 1t
was the owner of the place"
That's a bird of a story. but the
parrot does not talk Polish" observed
Judge Courtney as he entered a fine
of 81 against the prisoner.
