Bronze Plate on Maine Mast.

Washington, June N.-The bronze
plate placed on the main mast ofthe
Maine by the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton of Havana, Cuba, is to be restored
to the historic old spar, when it is
erected in Arlington National cemetery
to mark the graves of the unknown
dead of the Inflated battleship. The
Havana chapter of the Daughters to-
day won the consent of the navy de-
partment that the order be given.
The plate, commemorative of the men
who went to their death in the explo-
sion in Havana harbor, was placed on
the mast in 1910 but was removed and
placed in the departments archives
when the work of raising the war ves-
sci was begun.

VIOLATION UPHELD.
Woman Gets Husband without In
validating Note.

Trenton, N. J., June 2t.-Taking the
stand that it is against public policy
to refrain marriage, the court of err
rors and appeals here has refused to
affirm a decision of the lower court
setting aside note for 1000 given by
the late Henry Van Ripper of Paterson
to Mrs. Mary Lowe. A new trial of the
action has been ordered by the court.
Mrs. Lowe before her marriage was
Miss May Wood. She testified that Mr..
Van Ripper gave her the note to be paid
out of his estate on condition that she
should care for him until his death and
that she should not marry. The exc
cutor of the estate refused payment on
the ground that Mrs. Lowe had
broken the agreement by taking a hus-
band. The lower court upheld his at
titude and it was from the decision
that Mrs. Lowe appealed.

The storm that was gathering in the
east and soon to break upon them
gave them too little concern. The

comes to that pass it is on the thresh-
old of dire danger. The successes of

OF ones neighbors, is not soothed by
photographs. The missionary on tour
takes without grumbling and as part
of his days work, experiences which
people in Christian lands know moth
ing about.
We admire the great heroisms of
the Apostle Paul his missionary
tours; but we forget all about the
vermin, the poor khans, the noontide
heat the dust, the delays. the petty
eStortions and the other minor diff
culties which he endured without
mentioning.
When Miss Gaines of the Hiroshima
girls school in Japan (the scene of
The Lady of the Decoration") was
visiting among the villages back in the
interior not long ago, she ran across
a household of Christians, who were
conducting Sunday school Inquiry
developed that the wife and mother
had been converted thirty years ago
by a sermon by an itinerant mission
airy, who happened upon that remote
village. She had prayed and 1abored
for more than a score of years for the
conversion of her family. Now she
has the happiness of maintaining
Christian home, and doing Christian
work, in a village where there is no
church and where no missionary
regularly visits. The man whose SER
mon wrought this is dead; and he
probably never heard of this fruit of
his labor. For the missionary on tour
does not expect to reap from all his
sowing.
The Pauline principle of taking the
message where the people are has
ever been sound. Some English
cathedrals and one church on Broad
way in New York city follows this ex-
ample-have pulpits outside the walls
for open air preaching to those who
will not enter. Market place gospel
ling has mony modern forms-sum-
mer tent work, street meetings, news
paper advertising, hotel meetings, etc.
The wayside ministry is never beneath
the dignity of the gospel that was first
prea ched in the fields and highways.
AS Paul visited the mission church
es, so today it is increasingly the
usage for the superintendence to be
given the mission field. Most of the
nonepiscopal denominations are estab-
fishing oVerSeerS, who go about
strengthening and counSelling the ma
tive churches, and keeping them in
living touch with the entire brother
hood of believers.

EVERYBODY'S BIBLE BOX.

Q.-What are we to understand by
these two verses of Scripture ?-Psalm
139:1-10. and Genesis 1920 81 Is God
omnipresent or is He not? (B. B. H.)
Answer.-F'rom the last cited text it
is very evident that the Lord knew of
the conc -Ons of wickedneSS and de-
pravity existing in the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah. We are not to suppose
that the Lord found it necessary to go
to those cities in person in order to
ascertain just the degree of wicked
ness to which they may have attained
Nor are we to think that it was nee
esSary for the Lord to send an inVes-
tigating committee to find out the de-
tails of the situation. Rather, we are
to understand from the language of
the text that this form of expression
was used so as to make the matter
comprehensive to those who would
read the account, to the effect that
the Lord is cognizant of all that is
transpiring upon this little globe of
ours. The first cited text does not
necessarily indicate that the Lord is
omnipresent, but that His power is
everywhere. This is manifest from
the fact that the Psalmist says IF L
make my bed in hell (SheoD, behold,
thou art there" AS sheol means the
place or condition of death; it is evil
dent that God. the Lord, would not
personally be there, hence it must be
in representative sense that the Lord
would be present everywhere. An edi-
tor, financier, of statesman can be in
touch with every part of the globe, and
be continually informed as to all mat
tiers of Importance that may be tran
spring. by means of the various agen-
cies that are in common use such as
the wireless telegraph. cables. etc.
These may be ''omnipresent' and yet
not leave their offices. In this sense
VIC understand the omnipresence of
the Lord.
Q-PleaSe explain the thought given
in Philippians Alb where the Apostle
says I can do all things through
Christ which strengthened me-" How
does this harmonic with Galatians
5:17. which reads as follows For the
flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh: and these are
contrary the one to the other: so that
We cannot do the things that We wouId?''
Oh. M
Answer-In the latter text cited, the
Apostle is pointing out the impossible
ty of doing perfectly the things which
the faithful follower of Christ Nigh
desire to do. Those having the holy
spirit of love and kindness in their
hearts and desiring at I'll times to do
those things which would be prompted
by the proper disposition, find that as
they endeavor to fulfill these desires,
they are more or less unable to do so
on account of the blemishes and weak
nesses of the flesh. The fallen, sinful
flesh is antagonistic to the inclinations
of the spirit or disposition of Christ.

(BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS0

One of the great travel experiences
of earth which will be impossible
twenty years hence is to go over the
route of the Apostle Paul in Asia
Minor. Many of the usages of PauFs
day, and the same old Roman high
way through the beautiful Cicilian
Gates which he used, still persist; but
the new Bagdad railway is rapidly in
Producing the ways of the west, and
the reminders of Paul will soon be-
come extinct. This experience makes
vivid the itinerant work of the mis-
sionary apostle. His feet were tire
less in service. His tours covered
most of the known world of his day.
He sowed beside all waters" an ex-
ample which his successors today are
following. The missionary spirit,
throughout the centuries has been a
restless, Outreaching one, animated by
Pauls ambition to preach the gospel
where Christ was not already named.
A few weeks ago a veteran Prespy
terrain missionary in Japan, Rev. DR..
A. d. Hail, celebrated the thirty fifth
anniversary of his service in that land.
The Japanese feted and honored MIN
on this occasion, and he narrated
early experiences. In one region all
foreigners were for a time called
'IaiI' because the people supposed
that his name was descriptive of nom
Japanese. For more than genera
ton this man has been touring rural
japan, and thus has established for
his message a cordial hearing and a
wide discipleship which naught can
shake.
The one way to become truly ac-
quainted with a foreign land is to
travel in its rural parts. The ltlnerat-
ing missionaries have many advant-
ages over those who fill fixed post.
They understand the native life best.
Their personal contact with indi-
Viduals is closest The people they
with foreigners. and SO are reader to
listen to a new message. Evangelistic
itineration is the most interesting, and
most directly profitable form of mis-
sion work.
Sailing about among the innumera-
BILE islands of the beautiful Inland Sea
of Japan is the ''Fuluin Maru," or
Good Tidings'' the Baptist mission
ship of which Captain Luke Bickel is
at once navigator and missionary. This
is a novel method of touring. Little
villages which no other foreigner has
ever visited are reached by the gospel
ship. The people, mostly simple fish
er folk, thus associate Christianity and
foreigners. This mariner messenger
''sows beside all waters" true pio-
neer of Christianity.
To the comfortable stay-at-home
this touring in mission lands may
sound picturesque and romantic. But
its prosaic side is uppermost with the
person who experiences it. Thus, to
ride on Chinese wheelbarrow sounds
like good fun: but ''let him jest at
scars who never felt wound" A ma
tive Chinese inn provides material for
the writer; but its cold and filth and
vermin and discomfort do not suggest
literature to the one who is expert
cncing them. a Chinese houseboat
looks well in photographs, but the
sore bones OF one who knows the
hardness of these wooden sleeping
shelves and the discomfort of the
opium fumes from the compartment

is heavenly, or spiritual. This warfare
between the mind of the Christian and
his flesh, is graphically described by
the same Apostle in Romans 7:1S-20,
For know that in me Chat is. in my
fiesh) dwelleth no good thing: for to
will is present with me: but how to
perform that which is good 1 find not.
For the good that 1 would, I do not:
but the evil that 1 would not, that 1
do. Now if L do that 1 would not it
is no more I that do it. but sin that
dwelleth in me-" The first text quot
ed could never be harmonized with the
latter, as it reads in the Authorized
Version. A proper rendering from the
Greek text produces harmony. The
passage should read, 81 am strong to
endure all things with Him who
strengthens me-"
Off God foreknows all things;
how shall we harmonic Genesis 1881,
where it says that He was pleased
with His work, with Genesis 6:6,
which declares that He was dis
pleased, and repented over the fact
that He had made man? OF. CD
Answer-The word repent" means,
according to Webster, To change the
count of regret or dissatisfaction with
what has occurred" The question
then is, Did God change His mind or
His course of conduct? Knowing the
end from the beginning, GODS mind
could not change; therefore, the word
repent in this text must signify
change of conduct. That is, God did
change His course of dealing with
man because of mans wickedneSs
which grieved Him, but He did not
change His mind plans, because
these plans had from the very first
recognized the corrupting and de-
grading tendencies of sin, and pro-
vided Gin purpose of mind) the Lamb
of God-"slain from the foundation
of the world" as the redemption
Revelation 1873; 1873. Gods
plans were perfect before they began
to be executed; and all the changes of
Gods course or conduct are working
out the original designs which He pur-
posed ard which were contemplated
in the beginning. Those who recog-
nize the gradual development of Gods
original plan can see clearly that the
various changes in His course or deal |
ings, as displayed in the different dis |
penSationS of the past and present do |
not at all indicate so many changes of |
His mind or plan, though they are
doubtless so misunderstood by many. |
The fulfillment of many of the |
of the Bible indicates and |
proves the foreknowledge of the Gre |
ator. Indeed, over half of the Bible |
is made up of prophecies, of which !
many have been fulfilled and others |
are in course of fulfillment.
