(By William Z. Ellis

Sin never satisfies. All its pleas
ures are "for a season." Then comes
remorse, to eat out the heart and
make the soul hate itself. There is
no cOntentment in sin. Those who
live in wickedness must go from sin
to sin, seeking a delight that is never
found, until r%epentant, life's direction
is changed and the foot Of the blood
stained cross is reached.
There is only one place in heaven
and earth where a man may get rid
Of his sins, and that isat Calvary's
crest. There is only one way BY
which sins burden may be lifted. and
that is by faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ.
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died.
My richest gain l count but loss,
And pour contempt On all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God:
All the vain things that charm me
most.
I sacrifice them to His Blood.
Watts.
We cannot walk the worlds wav
and keep company with Christ.
Doing ones duty is the only hero
ism. Anything short of duty is COW
arulce: beyono It one cannot go: yet
1t IS impossible for a person to do
more than his duty. That is WHY the
disclaimer of modest heroes so often
and properly is, Il did only nv duty"
The persons who become notable in

to duty.

be a helper of men. Therefore the
keenest suffering his eternai pin
IN was to learn that his sense
of values had been all wrong, ana
that those whom he had despised on
earth sat high in heaven AS ihonl-
as Hood sang:
The blind and the cripple wee there,
And the babe that pinned for preau
And the homeless ma and the Wldo"

Who begged to bury her dead

THE PRESENT WARNING
If there be any thick-neaded pluto
crat who thinks that before rea!
harm can come to him and his mon
ey-bags he will receive some special
he has but to read this par
able of Jesus. It's clear closing teach
ing is that there is Law and light
enough now to lead men to do right.
No special emissaries from heaven or
hell could accomplish more than the
present gospel. 1t is not a new relig-
ion, not a new gospel, not a specially
accredited teached tina this SHINING
old world needs today. but a
new spiritual sense, a new open
mindedness, a new attention TO the
clear truth Of God.
The men who VIII not hee the
present signs Of the times, and the
present explicit teachings of social
Justice and of human brotherhood
will not harken if the angel Gabriel
and his cohorts come flying from
heaven. We already have truth
enough to save-or condemn-the
world.
Dives in hell had a thought for his
brother. But his social service idea
came too late. God gives no second
chance in the next world, although he
is u~nbeiievably patient in this. In
the ~counsels of heaven, evidently
now and Opportunity are synony-
o This is our last chance to
maxi things right with God and
man.
One ominous last thought, for con.
~SideratiOn in our present social cris-
is. Jesus told his immortal story
from the angle of the man who wa.
poo n oppressed. 1t was directed
straight at the affluent, supercilious
snobbish PhariSeeS. He took the Sidt
of the poor man. Evidently ht
thought that, in the relationship be
tween wealth and poverty; it il
wealth that needs the more such {
tremendous lesson as the Parable O
the Rich Man AND Lazarus.

1t is a trustful eye that sees fartheS,

The hypocrite is in all walks Of life.
and even in h lower order OF ma
ture there are receptions which may
be classed as hypocrisy. But it is in

and a reason for punishment. The
hypocrite blunders at the outset. for

In Gods sight man is only what no

Howell Looks Into
the Increased Cost
Of Bags and Bagging

Federal investigation OF price boosting
since the opening OF the European war
assumed definite shape when United
states District Attorney +. s Howell
turned his battery upon manufacturers
OF burlap bags. Flour milling concerns
have placed evidence in the hands OF the
government authorities showing that one
reason for the raise In their product is
the fact that the makers OF burlap bags
raised the price from $50 a thousand TO
$751; inside OF eighteen days
On July %. one bag making concern
quoted burlap bags at sSl per thousand.
Every day thereafter the prices went up
until by August 10 the price became al
most prohibltive.
The milling concern turned to other bRg
makers in the hope OF getting bags for
less money, but found the same condition
OF affairs existing.
The reason given by the bag makers
for the steady rise Is that the war has
stopped the importation OF jute. from
which burlap bags are made. Whether
or not this Is true, and whether there is
good cause for such a marked increase
is the objective point now OF the govern.
ment's investigation.
Other bags necessary to the Mullins
business have gone up in price also, It Il
alleged, but, except for the burlap ones
which are needed for meal. etc. the in
! crease has not been so marked.
Information regarding a raise In pric,
! on plate glass, paints, etc. is also in tn,
hands OF the government men.
