here. now, in Washington, D. c., AID.
1912, as it did in Palestine $500 years or
more ago. Mems surroundings may
change, their motives never have changed
yet.
All humanity is hungry for friendship;
indeed, every creature desires it.
What is pet?
Nothing but creature to which You
have shown yourself friendly. You can
make friends with cat. or wolf, or a
snake, a toad, fish or any living thing
that flies, creeps or crawls. How much
more easily, then, you can make friends
with your own kind!
What does it mean to show yourself
friendly?
1t means to be agreeable, sympathetic,
Obliging, helpful; to yield in the little
things that make no difference. one way
or the other; and when your affairs go
wrong 1t means to resist the impulse to
go around trying to take it OUT on
somebody.
Think, also, about the last half of the
wise mans saying-"And there is a Friend
that sticketh closer than brother"
When Mark Twain said BE good and
You will be lonesome he did more harm
than he could ever have repaired even If
he had tried to repair It, There is just
enough fiippant wit in that sentence to
make it remembered. which is pity, be-
cause it contains a thousandfold more
falsehood than wit.
For the man most encompassed with
friends is the religious man. He feels
what the prophet said: God is with me;
who can be against me?'
Friendship with God is thus the surest
basis of creating friendships with men.

To Prepare Stencil.

Outline the design upon very
thin. glazed cardboard, easily bent,
or upon the back of white table
oilcloth. A pair Of sharp embroid-
cry scissors and very sharp pen
knife will be needed to cut out the
designs. A round punch is helpful
to take out parts. After cutting
out all parts, coat the design with
hot paraffin and press with warm
iron if the design is on cardboard.
Treat only the back of the oilcloth.
A second application of wax makes
the pattern impervious to moisture.
Use stub brushes, slightly point
ed. To make stencil paints, use
ordinary dyes, desired colors, di-
luted with water or gasoline. Dip
the brush into the dye, pat out the
moisture on a folded cloth pad.
work the design from the center to
the extreme edge, being careful
not to allow the moisture to creep
under the design. Pin the pattern
to the fabric; keep the goods on
pad of newspaper; work slowly.
Lift the pattern carefully. When
dry, press the goods on the wrong
side with a warm iron.

~ EFT me comment on the heartfelt
welcome which has been extended
to me in my recent travels.
Praise be to God, the standard of lib
erty is held aloft in this land. You enjoy
political liberty, you enjoy liberty at large
of thought. you enjoy religious liberty,
and you enjoy racial or sectarian liberty,
and you enjoy personal liberty Surely,
this is worth thanksgiving
AS to the warm welcome which has
been extended. l wish to reciprocate the
same fully and completely.
Surely. men who are leaders of thought
should follow the example of those who
have welcomed me. Liberalism is what is
needed. They must be kind to all nations
They must not be limited, because God
is unlimited. The love of God Is unlim-
tied. And whoever is the servant of the
threshold of God must likewise be free
from limitations. The world of existence
is an emanation of the merciful attribute
nomena through is effulgence of mercy.
and He is clement and kind to all of His
creation.
Therefore the world of humanity must
ever be the recipient OF the bounties from
His Majesty the Eternal Lord. Even as
as your Father who is in heaven" For
surely His sun shineth upon the just and
upon the unjust
Consequently, man must learn the les
son of kindness from God Himself. Just
as God is kind to all humanity. man must
also be kind to his fellow-creatures. II
he be kind and loving toward all his fell
low-men. toward all creation, then indeed
he Is worthy Of being pronounced the
image and likeness of God. But kindness
is of various kinds. and fraternity or
brotherhood is different in sorts.
At one time brotherhood is of the family
type, and kindness is of the kind which
prevails among the household This is
limited and is subject to change or cor
ruption. How often it has happened in a
given family that amity has been changed
into enmity.
The second kind of fraternity is that
which obtains in patriotism. Man loves
his fellow-men because they belong to the
same nativity, and this is also limited
and Is subject to change or corruption.
How often it has happened that the sons
of the same fatherland have been subject
to war and bloodshed and strife and sedi-
ton.
The third kind of fraternity is that
which characterizes the racial unity. the
oneness of the race, and because of that
racial oneness kindness obtains among a

From the Chicago Tribune.
London has undertaken to clear the
metropolitan area of the waits and dere
licts. tramps, wanderers broken and un-
employed men and beggars who have
made some of its streets pictures of des-
titution at night. The embankment is
the first section to be cleaned up. There
is to be no more sleeping on the benches
there. When a constable finds a tramp
or homeless man, the waif will be shunt-
ed into an Office to be opened by the
metropolitan asylums board. He will be
given ticket to a lodging house or
shelter and he will spend the next day
''in some healthy occupa ton to pay for
his board and lodging"
Gradually the scope of the order will
be widened until all the metropolitan dis
trict is included What London Is about
to undertake, 1t seems, is the care of its

has to do is to go to sleep on a bench on

FOunde0 oy AntiOcnuS IL ABOUT 10 d.
&. upon the site Of an ancient town
whose God was Bel or Eaal and whose
Inhabitants were doubtless of Assyrian
stock, Laodicea remained a small COM
mercial town until the rise of the Roman
power, when 1t became one of the richest
cities of the empire. So famous was it
as a banking center that Cicero waited
until his arrival at Laodicea to cash his
bills OF exchange, and so great was its
wealth that when it was destroyed by an
earthquake, in A. u. 60. IL refused to
accept a gift from the Roman emperor.

After it's wealth 1t was next famous as
a seat of medical teaching, the great
temple of Men karou was just a half
dozen miles To the west, and at this
temple was one of the most famous med
ical schools of the period: especially
from 100 B. c. to 100 A. D., and at Lao
dices there was manufactured one OF the
notable prescriptions of this school. called
PhrySian powder, which was used as
a palliative In diseases Of the eye.
There were two other interesting cir
cumstances connected with this city,
which seem to have caught the very eye
of God. The first of these concerns the
patron deity Of the place. The god
Zeus had shrine at Laodicea. and his
image appears upon almost all of the

once a denial of their allegiance to their
god.
The second has to do with the most
notable commodity exported by the town.
namely, it's black cloth and garments.
Back Of Laodicea stood two great noun
tains, which rose over 1000 feet above
the town-Kadmos and Salbakos of his
tory-and on these slopes the I.aodiceans
raised their famous black sheep; sheep
whose wool was world-renowned.

brought various souls to a level where
they were willing to sacrifice their lives
for each other They were willing to
forfeit possessions, and most joyously
willing to forfeit life, and they lived to-
gether in the utmost of love and good
fellowship, to the degree that even the
famous Greek philosopher, wei known as
Galen, though not a Christian, in his
work called THE Progress of the
Nations" records that religious be-
liefs are very much indeed conducive
for the foundation of moral civili-
zation, real civilization. and as
proof thereof he cites the example of a
group of people of whom he says; "A cer-
tain number of people cotemporaneous

enjoy the superlative degree of moral
