NEARLY EVERYONE
CAN READ AND WRITE
Remarkable Decline in IlIiteracy is
Shown During the Last Ten
Years in United States

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-There
are fewer men, women and children
in the United States who can neither
read and write than ever before in
the nations history, according to spec
ial illiteracy statistics made public to-
day by the Census Bureau.
In the entire population illiteracy
has declined from 1917 in 1900 to TT
per cent. in 1910. Among children
from 10 to ii years of age the decline
has been from 10 to Al per cent. In
1910 the whole number of children
who could neither read nor write was
$40, 120-144,649 whites, 21S,355 ne
groes and 7,106 Indians, Chinese and
Japanese.
Most remarkable of the figures,
however, were those for illiteracy of
children of foreign or mixed parent
age who live, for the most part, in
cities. For these the percentage was
only 0.6 per cent.

Der how different
were the proofs of Jesus Messiahship
from what they had supposed. The
Prophecies told many things of Mes
siah but they had given heed to those
which spoke of the power that would
come TO the Jewish nation.
Other Scriptures tell of how Messiah
should "be led as Lamb to the
slaughter, and as sheep before her
shearers is dumb, so He would open
not His mouth" They tell of how He
would preach deliverance to the cap
tives," and the opening of the eyes of
the blind, but this they associated with
the glorious Kingdom. Their difficulty
was that they lacked humility and
were not teachable The ''Israelites in
deed" had misunderstanding of the
prophecies but were open to conviction,
and to these the Masters teachings
were attractive They We're guided to
the correct understanding of the Divine
Plan, and We're ready for the Pentecos-
tai blessing as part of the "eleet."
No Sign but That of Jonah.
Our lesson tells that Jesus asked,
"Why doth this generation seek after
a sign?" refusing to give them sign.
st. Matthew (xvi Id gives more
detailed account: Jesus called the at
tention of the Pharisees to the signs
that He was giving, and then said there
would be one "sign" given that nation
That "sien" did have a great effect
upon thousands of Jews on Pentecost
Day, and upon their hearing st Pc
ter respecting the death of Jesus,
His three days in the tomb and His
resurrection. Jesus cited the sign of
Jonah-that so the Son of Man would
be a similar period in the earth, and
so He would come forth.
Higher Critics may fight out their
opposition TO our Lords statement;
according to them, Jesus and the
Apostles were deceived; but according
to Jesus and the Apostles, the Higher
Critics are deceived.
The Leaven of the Pharisees.
Jesus cautioned His disciples against
the doctrine of the Pharisees-He Xix
ened it to leaven. Gods Word is
Truth, the bread upon which His peo-
pie are to feed; but they are to use
pure Truth. This caution was neces-
sary because the Pharisees were the
most holy sect amongst the Jews. The
most jealous Jews, therefore, We're at
tracted to that sect. Its association
with the best things made its teach
ings the more dangerous, because in
termingled with human traditions.
SO today: no matter how holy any de
nomination may claim to be, we are
TO beware Of their false doctrine. The
pure Truth of Gods Word "is sufficient,
that the man of God may be thorough
ly furnished unto every good work"
Let us, Of all denominations, unite In
full conservation to our Redeemer, and
stand free from all creeds. for there Is
but one Lord. one Faith. one Baptism,
one God, one Church of the Firstborn.'
