Given Due Warning.


God could no longer endure the
sins of men. their iniquity was full,
therefore God determined to destroy
them. He did not, however, cut them
off, for We read that they had 100
years announcement of the coming OF
the food ". 49, time enough in
which to repent They also had
faithful preacher to warn them dur
ing this time Peter 2:5. But their
apostasy was complete and they
would have none of Gods mercy nor
heed his warning, Prov. 29:1. Noah's
obedience as he built the ark was a
daily reminder of the impending
flood
The ark was a fat-bottomed chest
$50 feet long, rs feet broad and As
feet deep, built of cyprus Gopher
wood and coated with pitch. Under
the caves of the roof was an open
space for ventilation and its three
decks were divided into compart.
ments.
AS to the "eight souls" Il Peter
1920 who entered the ark we need
to remember that usually children and
servants are understood without men
ton in such enumerations. We are
not to infer that of all created animals
two of each entered the ark. The
flood certainly was not universal and
hence such a miracle was uncalled
for.
Race Swept Away.
At last the flood arrived at the ex
act moment prophesied. It's cause
seems to be twofold, subsistence oil
the ground and a downpour of rain
The Euphrates valley where this
event took place fills all the necessary
conditions. Subsistence would allow
an inundation from the sea- Such an
inundation took place in 1911 In the
Yangtse valley and another in 1901
rendered more than ten million people
homeless; the water rising from so to
80 feet. All that the account de-
mands, however, is that corrupt
race was swept away and that God
saved his righteous servant and his
household 1t is the privilege of ev.
cry believer in God to save his house.
hold. See Acts 1881, 2:9; 1. Cor. TIA.
The only way God could insure the
purity of the race was to destroy in
revocably the impure.
Skeptics have read into the story
Of the flood much extraneous matter.
Some have sought to prove that be-
cause nearly every race under the sun
has a flood tradition therefore the
writer of Genesis is merely passing
on a "Babylonlan tradition" 1t is far
more reasonable to believe that these |
traditions are corrupted forms of the
true account found in the Bible.
For the younger pupils get the
story of the flood as told by Dean |
Hodges and tell a connected story OF |
what has already happened in the past |
lessons and tell them that the story
will be continued next week Some
good live questions for class discus
sions would be: What does it mean to
walk with God? OF the four-igno-
rance, Indifference. consent or con-
iemnation Of sin-which one must
God take? What is the difference be-
tween wages and a free gift? Did |
Noah earn his salvation? Is faith |
more than an attitude of mind? Do |

GOLDEN TEXT-"The wages of sin Is
death. but the free gift OF God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord" Rom. 6:23
r. v.
The first great fact recorded in the
book of Genesis is that Of Creation,
which may be divided into several les
ser facts. The second great fact is
that of the Fall, which began with the
temptation and ended with the exclu-
sion from Paradise. In this lesson we
come to the third great fact, the
Flood. the account Of which embraces
the fifth to the ninth chapters. Chap
ter five gives us Noah's genealogy;
six, the history of the building of the
ark; seven, the occupancy of the ark:
eight, Noahs departure from the ark,
and nine, Gods covenant with Noah.
In this lesson sin flourishes like the
proverbial green bay tree. EVERY

Gods sight, as we see from v. ., even
in the midst of these adverse circum.
stances. Environment is powerful but
not all-powerful, and it is never

gather from this verse that Noah was
faultless, but rather than he sought
to conform his life to Gods will and
not to the standards of those among
whom he dwelt. Noah gave himself
to whole-hearted service to God
We are told that the foundation OF
Noah's acceptance before God was his

How the Koreans Talk.

A Korean convert committed to
memory the Gospel of Matthew.
When he was asked how he did it he
replied: Il had great difficulty in
making the text stick. but one day
decided that as read it and tried
to commit it by memory I should prac.
tice 1t verse by verse upon my neigh.

What Novel Reader. Like.

That old question whether the poor
prefer to read stories about them
selves rather than about the rich has
been revived in England and discuss
ed by serial writer's. Some believe
that most readers. whether poor or
rich. prefer novels dealing with
class different from their own, and
some maintain that the majority OF
readers are more interested in their
own class. Nobody knows. But some
thing undoubtedly depends upon the
novelist himself. Dickens had ne dif-
hculty in interesting everybody In
the poor. Thackeray made the we'll
to-do and the rich interesting. So does
Mrs. Wharton. And innumerable
others.
On the other hand. Jack London,
h.auffman. James Oppenheim and pos
sibly two or three others have sketch.
ed wonderful pictures OF lowly and
obscure lives. The great American
novel," which may have been written,
but Is still awaiting publication, will
deal neither with the rich nor with
The poor exclusively, nor with the mid.
die class, but with all sorts and con-
ditions of men. It will be a novel of
democracy-neither aristocratic nor

workingmen who live to "a good old

These wholesale sacrifices can no

they are the inevitable risks of IL

Science has shown the way to combat
many industrial diseases and insure

Would Repeal COPYRIGHT LAW.

The high cost of living is the thing
at which house point memorial in
troduced by Blanchard, of Josephine,
yesterday, is aimed. It lays the re-
sponsibility Of the high prices of nee
essities of life on the shoulders of
the patent right and copyright laws,
whose repeal 1t demands. The latter
are blamed for increasing the cost of
education, which, it is alleged, is more
than doubled by the existence of copy
right laws on school books. The leas-
ing system Of labor-saving patents is
described as being as pernicious as 1t
is monopolistic.
The memorial embodies resolution
requesting 0regons senators and rep
resentatives in congress to introduce
If necessary, to vote for to use their
best endeavors to pass a law repeal
ing all patent-right and copyright
laws, substituting a royalty to invent
ors Of per cent, as a substitute for
the present plan, to be paid by any
one who cares to manufacture any ar
ticle now covered by such laws
