The learned therefore na,s-rne greater

''Ye have taken away the key OF knowt-
edge" you will neither enter into the
favor of God yourselves, nor will you
permit others TO enter in.-Luke xi, 81.
And is not this true today? The
learned OF the colleges and principal
pulpits are telling the people that the
Bible is not the Divine Message which
Jesus and the Apostles declared ii to
be. that Moses and the Prophets did

Captain of Becalmed Vessel Was
Driven to Desperate Sacrifice,
But It Succeeded.

The ship had lain becalmed in a
tropical sea for three days. Not a
breath of air stirred the mirror-like
surface of the sea and the sails hung
limp from the yards, like drapery
carved from marble
The captain resolved to wait no
longer for wind. He piped all hands
on deck and requested all passengers
to come forward.
II must ask all Of you." he said, ito
give me every match you have"
Wonderingly, all obeyed. The cap.
tain collected every match on the
ship in this manner. Then he threw
them all overboard-all but one.
Then he took his pipe from his
pocket and filled it with tobacco. AS
crew and passengers looked breath
lessly on, he struck that one match
the only one aboard-and attempted
to light his pipe with it.
Instantly a furious gale swept over
the deck It extinguished the match,
but filled the sails and the good ship
plunged merrily forward on her course
again. The sacrifice had been awful.

How Adee Turned the Joke on Himself

A SSISTANT Secretary Of State Al
"A vey A. Adee is one Of the men in
the government service who are said
to be Indispensable. He is a walking
encyclopedia on matters diplomatic
and can handle the most intricate af-
fair Of state with the confidence born
Of long and faithful service. His
predecessor In his line Of work held
office for more than a generation and
was such a public official as Mr.. Adee.
One Of Mr.. Adee's chief character
istics is his tremendous fund Of good
nature and stories concerning his Off
cial actions never grow old. One of
the best stories told of him was a joke
on the secretary himself which he
never relished, although his intimate
friends say he has privately admitted
the humor Of the situation.
When Mr.. Adee gets down to seri-
Gus work he does not like to be inter
rupted and at one stage in his official
service he found interruptions so nu-
merous he hit upon the scheme Of
putting a special lock upon the door
of his Office, the working Of which he
himself could control. One day he
dismissed his secretary and messen-
ger, carefully locked the door and got
down to business.
In the course Of the morning he
wanted his messenger and rang the
usual bell to call him. The messenger

was that Mr. Adee had forgotten about
the new lock and an impairment of

with precedents for wearing various
