yer knows how desirable it Is to have
one man who will hang the jury. IN

to have at least two men OF the jury
who will hang it." After thirteen
men have heard the case twelve are
to be left to decide the case. The
one who retires will be decided by
drawing. If perchance any fellow is
fixed or right to hang the jury he
might be the fellow who would be
drawn out.

EvERYBODY'S BIBLE BOX.

Q.-Does Micah iv, II support Social
ism? Are there any other passages in the
there any against it? 90. Al
Answer.-The Scriptures alluded to elo-
quently portray the conditions which will
be established in the earth by the Lord
eminent or kingdom after the present dis
pensation of kingdoms and nations has
passed away. The perfect condition of
peace and prosperity will be brought into
existence by the kingdom power and au-
thority of Christ following His second adj
cipais and teachings Of Socialism are fully
in harmony with the principles of right
eousness as outlined in the Scriptures.
and to the extent that this is true to that
extent does the Bible support those doc
trines. Socialism as movement, how
ever will absolutely fail to bring about
the conditions as described by the Prophet
Micah. The race for six thousand years,
in the myriad forms of government which
have been devised, has va1nly endeavored
to create conditions OF peace and pros
perity throughout the earth. This failure
is more apparent today than at any time
in the past If experience is one of the
best teachers then surely sixty centuries
vince even the most obtuse that the race
is wholly incapable of governing itself
properly. The Scriptures point out that
the only hope for the world of mankind
is in the establishment of a Divine uni
versal kingdom-the Kingdom of God-id
the earth. This is the reason why the
ers to pray Thy Kingdom come, Try
will be done on earth as it is done
heaven" All human organizations, move
ments and governments will go down in
the coming time of trouble and distress,
and then. on the ruins of the present evil
order will be established that for whic II
ali the nations have been instinctiyeIy
longing for, the perfect government of the
Lord.

God are even delivered Will you kindly
explain this Scripture? q. M
Answer.-An will bear witness to tile
truth of the Prophets statement to the
prosperity and exaltation of the proud
and the wicked under the present condi-
tons of evil The Apostle James tchap-
ter v. 1-5) points out that the wicked by
Iraud' have prospered to the extent o.
accumulaung vast wealth, in the last
days. The Scriptures everywhere repre-
sent that the naughty and corrupt would
succeed, and apparently be happy in the
contamination of their evil designs. HIS
tory records the triumphs of the Alex
anders, Caesars and Bonapartes, politi-
cally, financially, and socially. 1t is true
that the Lord declared that the Meek
Snal inherit the the EARTH" but it is ap-
aren't that this promise could not apply
to his followers under present conditions,
peen opposed, misrepresented and perse-
cuted, even as suggested by His own
Blessed are ye when men shall
rev1le you, and persecute you, and shalt
for my sake" (Matthew V. 1O-12) This
present 'tevil world is to pass away ere
wherein dwelleth Righteousness in which
the proud and naughty, and all wicked
ness and corruption will be abased and
destroyed Then the meek shall enter
into their Inheritance and with their Lord
shall be Kings and Priests unto God and
rule the world in observation-disclosures
ton Xxx, 6; Acts xvii, 81.
Q.-What is the meaning of the Savior's
Words-"J erusalem shall be trodden down
of the Gentiles until the Times of the
Gentiles shall be fulfilled?'-Luke xxi,
"a. Qsraelite.)
Answer.-In former days when the peo-
pie OF Israel. were the special recipients Of
DIVINE favor and blessings; and wher
they had a kingdom and government OF
their own, they repeatedly disobeyed the
Lord. Because of their continued dis
obedience, the Lord finally informed them
through the prophets that He would
punish them seven times for their in
EQUITIES, and then through the Prophet
Ezekiel, foretold the overthrow and de-
struct1on of their kingdom. A time If
the Scriptures signifies year of 36O days,
and prophetically means day for a year,
XII, 6; Ezekiel iv, 1-S.) Thus seven times
would signify a period of $3.50 years.
These seven times of punishment began
when the kingdom of Israel was over
turned and Zedekiah was taken prisoner
to Babylon. There and then Jerusalem
came under Gentle dominion, the date OF
the Scriptures being October Cos B. {.
Two thousand five hundred and twenty
years from that date terminate October
1915 A. D. 1t is to be expected. therefore,
that the Jews will cease to be a down
trodden people; Jerusalem will be free
and independent within three years from
the present time. In preparation for this
important event, the Jews all over the
world are making arrangements to return
to their own land Divine favor is rapidly
returning to Israel, and soon all Israel
shall be saved. Rom. XII 25, 36; Jer. XXI
S-10.

foolish than the man who will buy
liquor from bartender who is a total
abstainer. And nowadays many or
most bartenders are required 20 be
that.
This is the social-service day in
church and state The trend is good.
But it is in danger of becoming mere
fad and profession, a vogue without
any more sustaining power than the
present fashion for Pekingese dogs.
Over and over again real public leaders
will have to raise the warning that
the vital heart of all social service is a
sincere spirit of self-sacrifice for the
sake of others. Without self-denial
social service will become ''as idle as
painted ship, upon painted ocean"
The direct bearing of this principle up
on the temperance question is clear.
The strong will bear the burdens of
the weak. The men and women who
feel able to sup wine with their meals
without hurt to themselves, will never
theless abstain in order that they may
be counted on the side of the men and
women who need encoura cement to
forego their beer and whisky. The
sense of social solidarity will inspire
men and women to forego their own
tastes for the sake of their fellows well
fare. The realization that the custom
of drinking Intoxicating liquors, consld-
cred as a whole will prompt the new
chivalry of our day to cast the mselves
heartily into the cause of the majority,
regardless of any possible personal in
convenience or sacrifice to themselves.
All of which is but saying, in other
words, that the true and abiding basis
for temperance is that laid down in the
New Testament.
Recently I saw, at close range, three
great achievers whose names are
known to the whole civilized world.
In the company with me We're a couple
of hundred men, not all total alb
stainers, by any means. Therefore 1t
was the more interesting to hear the
many comments upon the one of the
three notabIes whose face was flushed
with wine. He was the man to- whom
that group might have been expected
to be most loyal: yet a note that was
partly amusement and partly contempt
The men were rather ashamed of him
of whom they wanted to be proud. He
the wrong man in deeds had descended
to weakness in wine His fellows had
kept themselves clear-eyed and steady.
The judgment of the beholding COM
pany was a rather unusual temperance
argument.
Not guns, but men win wars. Let
there be no illusion concerning the
present temperance warfare. While
methods are useful. methods are not
going to destroy the liquor traffic.
Only a dominant Christian purpose.
the spirit of the Master who pleased
not Himself and who uttered anathe-
mas against those who cause the least
of the little ones to perish. can win in
this fight with appetite and greed. The
Spirit of the Saviour alone can over
come the spirit of selfishness.
