In harmony with this. our present
sermon deals with one OF the tender

in the last week OF his earthly life.
Then Jesus six days before the

significance OF the word then" you
which tells us that all the people
were gathering TO Jerusalem for the
passover. and all animated more or
less by the thought as TO whether he
would come TO the feast. for the chief
priests and pharisees had given a
commandment that IL any man knew
where he were, he should show It,
that they might take him. Then II
was that he came. Before this on
different occasions he had hidden him
self from his enemies. not through
cowardice or fear. but because his
hour had not yet come. he was not
yet ready 20 be offered, the Scripture
had not yet been fulfilled. Now. how
ever. the crisis is approaching. and
he advances consciously TO met his

little village two miles from Jerusa.

member, was man. Not merely
man. but yet mana perfect man.
And II is just such touches OF his
humanity that bring him so near TO
us. and solace us with the thought
that in him we have an high priest
who can be touched with a feeling OF
our infirmities.
But what about our sympathy for

sympathy for us? Does he ever find
a Bethany in our homes and hearts?
He is still in some sense exposed 10

WILL NOT TAKE CHANCES.

Congressman johnson of the
district in which the city of
Spartanburg is located does not
seem to be willing to assume
the responsibility Of naming the
applicants for all of the post
Offices in his district, and in sew
eral places he has suggested a
primary, but III the CITY of Spar
tanburg be did name his former
private secretary without sub
hitting to the primary plan. If
the Congressman doesn't mind
his giving the big job to his sec
retary, and forcing the others
to scramble in d primary for the
smaller Offices it will have the
effect to give his opposition a
strong cudgel to crack him with
when ne stands for re election
next year. The postoticcs are
business institutions whic h
should be kept out of local poll
tics as much as possible, and
where they are subjected to the
primary Dian we doubt if it will
inure to the efficiency of the
service. There are many who
can secure votes sufficient
to receive a majority in a
primary who would be totally
ineficlently in a poStofic-: they
NAV be men or wom-n who at
other work would be thoroughly
competent, but there are com
pIications in a postoflce which
needs a peculiar fitness, the
same as a bank. We have serious
doubts it the placing of these
Offices in local politics will prove
wise.

Of those who have made the welfare

FIELD MICE IN FRANCE.
At Times They overrun and Complete
Iy Deva. .ate Whole Cantens.

At Times They Overrun and Complete
Iy peva. .ate Whole cantons.
The average loss inflicted annually
BY field mice upon the cultvators OF
France is estimated at 100000 francs
about 100000. From time TO time.
however. there is an enormous increase
In the number Of these pests and IN
the extent Of their ravages.
France has experienced about doz-
en- serious invasions by field mice since
the beginning Of the nineteenth CEN
tury. The most disastrous was that
which occurred from the summer OF
1901 to the end of the autumn OF 1902.
On that occasion three departments
were absolutely devastated. AS an H.
lustration Of the prodigious numbers
in which these animals appear 1t may
be stated that. during the outbreak OF
1922 in Alsace. within single fort
night 100000 were slaughtered in one
capton-the French equivalent Of
township-5OO.OOO in another and 272.-
600 in another.
The sudden appearance Of these ami
mails in such numbers is not due to a
rapid migration. but simply to the as
tonishing rapidity with which they null
tiply when the weather happens to be
favorable to their preservation. Un-
der such conditions field containing
$50 animals the females are about
twice as numerous as the maleS-at
the end of winter would have more
than 10000 in September.
There are many ways Of fighting the
pests. including the use Of various POI
sons. and aSphyxiation OF the animals
in their burrows by means Of noSious
vanors. but the plan recommended by
the French government is to spread a
contagious disease among them by Civ
Ing a bacterial preparation.
