LITTLE HOPE
OF PEACE
Both Italy and Turkey Stand
Fast
PRESSURE CAN'T BE EXERTED
A General European War Might Fol-
low-Italy Is Still Confident That
She Can Force Terms on
the Porte
PRESSURE CAN'T BE EXERTED

Rome, Jan. 27.--Although the WORK OF
the European diplomatic chancelleries
has been carried on most actively both
in Constantinople and Rome during the
past few days in the endeavor to find a
means OF bringing about peace between
Italy and Turkey, no basis has yet been
found on which can be started negotia-
tions which are likely to have any prob
ability of success. Turkey says that
the powers if they are DESTROYS of peace
should induce Italy to make concessions,
as Turkey cannot accept the spoilation
she has suffered without any form OF
redress Rome, ont'the other hand. re-
spends to the hints of the foreign cham
celleries that the only remedy for the
present situation is that pressure should
be put by the powers on the Porte.
The representatives of the powers de-
clare that if pressure were brought to
bear on the Porte through the ambassa-
doris at Constantinople and the Porte
should resist, as everything appears to
Indicate would be the case, either the
powers wonld have to withdraw and sui
fer humiliation or have recourse to CO.
ercion. This would mean making coll
lectivc naval demonstration in Turkish
waters. which would ultimately end in
a landing in Constantinople, and would
raise the general European conflagra-
ton, which all are most DESTROYS of
avoiding.
Giovanni Giolitti, the Italian premier,
still hopes that Italy will be able to
force Turkey to ask for peace For this
reason the conyocation of Parliament,
instead Of occurring at the end of Janu-
AIRY, has been postponed until February,
and it is believed that it may be de-
layed until March. In the meantime,
the COMMUNICATIVE Of the eXpedi-
force in Tripoli has arranged to
make general advance into the noun
tains of the interior and hopes during
the month Of February to take the first
decisive step in this direction by occu.
plying the country as far inland as sixty
miles from the coast.

LODI, Russian Poland, Jan. 27.-The

had adopted as their Savior"
A new sect was recently formed by
women of the Moravian community.
They selected a man named Kowalski,
whom they worshipped as their savior.
They urged him to allow himself to be
crucifed so as to enable them to prove
the truth OF their tenets by his res

Kowalski's faith, however, wavered
and he strenuously opposed the carry

Ultimately 80 determined women took

appeared and put stop to the sacri-

New York, Jan. 81 Membership OF
all the churches of the United States
increased by $4,000 last year, accord
ing to statistics prepared by DIR. H. X.
Carroll, formerly director of the re-

THE canvass shows that the greater
part of this country's population are not
church members. The body of ministers,
one OF whose principal duties is obvious
~ to secure converts, is increasing.
"The number of churches is increas-
ing also, but the average net increase
in membership of the Methodist Eps-
copal church, or of the Protestant Epis-
copal church, was about two for each
Of their churches"
The Methodist churches show the
greatest proportionate gain in members,
POI 900 over 1910. The Roman Catholic
church shows the greatest numerical
gain, 100000.

Value Of Drawn Work.

Perhaps the simplest of the various
forms OF fancy needlework is drawn
work. Materials required for the work
are cheap and OF the simplest character.
Linen, fine or coarse, is the foundation,
and fine cotton thread with, of course, a
fine needle, is all that is required to
work with.
The value of drawn work lies in the
labor and time required to complete IT,.
Hemstitching is employed on all drawn
work especially is it used for finishing
hens and on infants wear
Table and bed linen, towels, yokes,
collars and cuffs, doilies and centerpieces
all require fine hemstitching. Threads
are drawn one way of the material, and
the designs worked out on the threads
that remain.
Many persons find great difficulty in
drawing the threads, having to coax each
thread out inch by inch.
If you have trouble of this sort, try
rubbing a little white soap over the
threads to be drawn, or rub the linen
through the fingers until it has become
softened Which ever method is used
do not wash and iron linen before draw
ing threads, or you will have trouble on
your hands.

Who Lack DIVING ordination2


From what We have said it Must be
clear that no one is entitled to speak
for the Almighty unless he have this
Divine Ordination cf the Holy Spirit.
Human titles and human ordinations
are wholly inadequate to make real
preacher and teacher in the Church of
Christ. But the Spirit beg0tten are
fully authorized to use their every op-
pOrtunity under all circumstances and
conditions. There Is no division Of
these Spirit-begotten ones along the
lines Of clergy and laity. God never
recognized such distinctions and divi-
sions. His ambassadors bear the
marks Of Identification that none 9th
ers have. They have a knowledge OF
the real Gospel, and OF the real charac-
ter Of God. They are guided by the
Holy Spirit, sre9 by step into the deep
things Of God
We submit that If a knowledge Of the
Truth be an indication Of an enlight-
ening influence Of the Holy Spirit, then
not every preacher in the world gives
evidence Of a Divine Ordination to
teach and to speak as a Divine Am
bassadOr We must put away the fool
ishness Of the Dark Ages. and the mis-
conception that few mumbled
phrases were ever the Divine method
of inducting the Royal Priesthood into
their service as ministers Of the
Truth.

It has perpetuated the misconceptiOn
