Back Bedroom CanarIes.

The canaries for which Norwich is
famous seem to have Jared better than
some of the inhabitants in the recent
floods. One old breeder was asked
about his stock and said they were
safe. They lived In the back bedroom
of his house by the river.

abandon his precious birds to starve.

Turkey wants to borrow $5O,O00,-

with the Morgan interests for the last

habilitate the latter country and open
up it's rich possibilities for CONNER

This outbreak in the Balkans has
been brewing for a great many years.
In fact, there has been no time In the
last few centuries when the situation
in the Balkans could have been de-
scribed as peaceful. The little states
that hitherto merely have been pawns
in the diplomatic game Of the great
powers at last have taken the bit IN
their teeth and may upset the eQuilib-
rum of Europe before they are check

kings, who are the real rulers OF ma
tons, refuse to make loans unless

Isaiah 5:11.
We turn aside today from studying
the life of Christ to consider n or
the things that caused the downfall
of Ephraim, that is the northern king
dom, and also of Israel, 1. e., those
who composed the southern kingdom.
The chief counterfeit Of the Holy
Spirit employed by Satan Is the In
%spiration and the i~ntoxication pro-
duced in the use Of liquors, and we
do well to pause and consider the
works of him whom Jesus came to
destroy. (Heb. 2:14).
The lesson naturally divides itself
into two divisions, Wv. ~ and w.
SIG. This entire section really be-
gins in chapter six verse four and
contains the response Of Jehovah to
the cry Of the remnant Of Israel and
of Ephraim in the last days. In the
first half we see the iniquity @, OF
Ephraim and Israel discovered" !. @,
revealed, and in the second section
there is discovered or revealed to US
Gods wrath against them for their
hypocrisy.

sire to heal them both, " d. 1t 1s

But while Jehovah would have
healed them they would not be healed,

Seems End of Turkish Rule.

The decline Of Turkey began in the
seventeenth century, and proceeded
more rapidly in the eighteenth. Rus.
sia and Austria won back province
after province, and toward the close
Of the eighteenth century Turkey
seemed on the point of vanishing as a
nation. There were civil wars, as we'll
as wars with other European 'coun-
tries, but Turkey survived them all.
It's territorial possessions have con-
tinued to shrink until they are what
they are today. Doubtless whatever
the outcome Of the present war In
the Balkans, Turkeys boundary will
be reduced still further. Indeed, the
Turk never was nearer being driven
out of Europe than he is today.

War Situation Now.

Meanwhile the Balkan states and
Greece are at war with Turkey. They
all have been fairly aching for such a
chance as this, and every M Of these
small countries Is more than eager to
seize what advantage 1t can out Of the
present chaos Of the Turkish empire.
The political divisions of the peninsu-
Ia known as the Balkan states are
four in number. North Of the Danube
lies Roumania, whose independence
from Turkey was confirmed by the
Berlin congress in 1878. Immediately
south, on the other bank of the Dan
ube, Is Bulgaria, the key to the Bal
kans, and the most formidable Of the
states. West of Bulgaria is Servia,
which occupies an important strategic
position on the Danube and commands
the main line Of railway from western
Europe to Constantinople. Servia
was created an independent kingdom
by the treaty of Berlin.
Southwest of Seryia is the princi-
Iality of Montenegro. To the west, at
about the head Of the Adriatic and be-
tween the River brave and the coast,
are the territories kknown as Bosnia
and Herzegovina. These first were
placed by agreement under the gov
ernmental supervision Of Austria and
later were annexed by that empire.
They are destined to play an import
ant part in any conflict, because
Austria will not permit herself to be
deprived Of them without a struggle.
The population Of these two Austrian
states Is about equally divided be-
tween Moslems and Christians.
