sary. Why" The proper answer is:
81 have backslidden." Twenty years
is hardly unit compared with 4,36l
years. At this time we see one man
fronting the whole world in all of its
crimes, even causing God to repent
that He made man, it grieving Him
at His heart, but Noah found
grace ir the eyes of the Lord is
the blessed record. This faithful
man preached l20 years with no pos
tive statement that his teaching
saved anybody but his own family,
eight souls. He condemned the
world and became heir of the right
eousness which is by faith. So you
see Christianity is a vital principle
and heeds Gods voice. Thou shalt
not go after multitude to do evil. -
Was Noah's work a success or fail
ure, say? 1t was a grand success. as
all works of righteousness are.
"Thy saints in all this glorious war

There is presumptive proof that
Noah's preaching saved all the peo'
ple who were drowned in the flood
The Book does not say they were
lost, but destroyed off the face OF
the earth. 1t is reasonable that al
last all who repented were saved
See Genesis vii:4: Yet seven days.
If this seven days grace was not in

what was it for? Like the light that
Iighteth every man that cometh into
the world, if it can't lead men to re-
pentance and God it is an unmitl

You remember old Elijah thought
once he was the last good man, but

with President Wilson in Washington.
This viii mean a delay of nearly a
week, as Secretary Bryan left here only
last evening and viii not reach the

MUST SIGN WITHIN 10 DAYS
He is required by law either to sign
or veto all acts passed up to him by the
legislature within 10 days Of final pas
sage. providing the enacting body re-
mains in session for that length OF
time. Otherwise he has 80 days 1t
now appears as though the legislature
would not adjourn until May Is, or
later, which would require the gov
ernor to act on or before Tuesday,
May 1s.
There is much specula tion here as to
the next probable step to be taken by
the government against the measure.
IT is generally believed. however. that
President Wilson will state his objec-
tions once more to Governor Johnson,
and then seek through diplomacy TO
answer the possible protests from
Tokyo.
Opinion as to the effectiveness of the
act in accomplishing its purpose is
divided. Until the final amendment was
added, permitting aliens ineligible to
citizenship to lease agricultural lands
for three years. the measure was the
most drastic of any that had been pro-
posed. Now, however. it is asserted by
many that 1t will accomplish little, in
as much as it does not stipulate that
the leases may not be renewed again
and again.
