NJ ERSE 2O-Wherein consists the
" blessedness of poverty?
Copyright. 1912. by Rev. T. s. Linscott, DID,.

I1 ERsE ao-wherein consists the
W blessedness of poverty?
Did Jesus mean that it was
blessed to be poor, or In the fact that the
poor were to be delivered from their pow
erty?
Why should the poor be more entitled
to the kingdom of God than the rich?
Verse 21-When good man is hungry
or when he weeps, is he going through,
for the time being, the best possible ex-
perience for him, and is therefore blessed:
Give your reasons?
If hunger is necessary in order to get
ting and enjoying food, and il weeping is
an essential preparation for laughter,
why are not these experiences blessed?
With the world and human nature con-
stituted as at present. would it be bless
ing or a curse. and why. II all hunger.
weeping and other pain were impossible?
Verses 22-26Wherein consists the
blessedness OF being hated for Jesus
sake?
Under painful circumstances even when
recognized as blessed, is IL always possi-
BILE to be joyful and happy? Why or
why not?
If for example. We are now suffering
great pain, which is to result by and
by in infinite pleasure. why would not a
realization of the truth make our hearts
glad?
Verse 24-What is the one great penalty
of riches?
What can you say for or against the
statement that 1t Is wicked to be rich and
virtuous to be poor?
Verse 25-What is the great woe to
those that, having plenty of food and
worldly amusement, have no desire for
spiritual joys?
Verse 26-Is 1t possible for a man who Is
well pleasing to God to have all men
speak well of him?
XV1:19-23-How is ii that in all time
some have been very rich and some
very poor?
Which, and why, tends most to good.
ness, great poverty or great riches?
Why did the poor man go to heaven and
the rich man to hell?
Why is there no necessary vice or
virtue in being either rich or poor?
Verses 2i-26-What does this story
teach concerning any alienation of the
suffering of the lost?
Verses 27-31-If Wesley and Knox were
to come back to the earth and preach.
would they win more people for Christ
than they did when here before? Give
your reasons.

~~-~H1LE liberties may be
NJ taken in using odd coll
w ors to give stencil a
weird charm, neverthe-
less it is advisable to keep in touch
with the real color scheme. Here
we have the rose. a color to be
produced in any red tones, also
the different tints of pink, pale
yellow and saffron. In choosing
color be sure that it harmonizes
with the material. Red looks best
on all tan or brown fabrics used
in heavy drapery. Pale yellow is
rich on delicate tints of soft dra-
peries. such as bedroom portieres
in fat tones. Pink looks we'll on
sheer white or a butter-colored
linen. Make the leaves of dull
rose leaf green and finish the base
in green
This being a typical portiere
pattern, it is best to use heavy
paint of American beauty red with
green. Oil paint or the prepared
stencil paint will give good re-
suits. Use gasoline or water
paints upon the sheer fabrics to
insure transparent beauty.

ICED UNIFORMITY IN
AUTO REGULATIONS

with the converting Of the legisla.
lures In many states this fall, there
is widespread interest among auto
mobile users as to what new legisla-
tion effecting the operation OF motor
vehicles upon the public highways
will be proposed and enacted.
II is the opinion OF motorists as
well as state and municipal officials
that every effort should be made to
secure greater uniformity in automo-
bile regulations, especially as con-
Germs the speed limits, so that tour
istts In passing from one state to an
other, will not be met by the town
fathers on the village streets, holding
them up with a red flag In order to
leriye a source of revenue As gen
eral rule the rank and file of auto
mobilists upon entering small COM
munities drive cautiously, respecting
the rights of pedestrians and other
users of the road, carefully observing
the local traffic rules.
The Touring Club OF America has
for several years advocated uniform
ity In the regulations governing the
operation OF motor vehicles and the
success of its efforts has been reflect
ed IN the enactment Of many new
state laws and municipal ordinances
which the club has recommended.

Some motor cars eat up power be
fore II reaches the place where II is
needed--the rear wheels. Rated horse
power and actual horse power or pull
ing power are two separate things.
A motor might develop 40-horsepower
and deliver about 33 to the driving

and plan of design employed and the
resulting excessive friction.
In Oakland construction we deliv-

specifications are misleading in
automobile advertising says George
Z. Daniels. vice-president and gen
eral manager of the Oakland Motor
Car Co. 1T is just about as fair TO
compare two cars having the same
motor dimensions. wheel base and
other identical details, as II Is to COM

ency by similarity of looks or size,
Two motors can be alike in bore and
stroke and still differ materially in
the power and efficiency. The uues-
ton naturally arises. What makes
the difference?' And the answer is,
The method OF manufacturing and
the materials used AS an example
the quality OF the motor depends on
the way the pistons are ground, the
style Of bearings used, the type OF
gears, the carburetion and the method
of fabrication. What is true of the
motor Is true OF every other compon-
ent part. The Oakland does not rely
