as we find it recorded for US in the
pages of holy writ. Rev. McElree
cited examples of faith as shown in
the lives of the jailer, etc. That was
an illustration OF faith that saves,
faith that is able, after the hardest
heart has grasped it, to lead directly
to the Master. The faith that saves
is the faith that depends on Christ.
Rev McE9ree in referring to the
rich young ruler, made it plain that
God had done everything for mans
salvation and there was nothing left
for man to do but believe. Many in
the world are living along the same
line of delusion. They feel they can
tain eternal life. They think their
model life should carry them into the
kingdom OF God, or that their phiia n
thropy will save them. The speaker
brought in the little incident of the
drowning boy TO make plain his poinc
that every man must cease to struggle
for himself before Jesus Christ can
save him Every man must cast him
self as helpless being upon Christ
and depend entirely upon Him for
salvation if ne is going to receive the
needed help and strength.
Unless you have child's trust and
confidence, unless you give Him the
faith OF little child. your salvation
is not assured. God wants you to be.
i lisve today that all of your sins, your
troubles, your distresses and your
intquities have been placed on the
shoulders of Christ and been borne
to the cross. Jesus Christ said. q
am the way, th= truth and the life

these will be addea to the petitions

The south side residents who are
asking for the extension of the lines
on this side Of the city have adopted
the plan Of securing not only the
names of property holders but also
given the number of persons in each
family who will be affected by the
new line If 1t were built.
BY this method, the residents hope
to show to the head company at Bos-
ton that enough people will be affect
ed by the proposed line to make it a
paying proposition. and one that will
net no small amount of revenue for
the company. II this can be done
satisfactorily the south siders have NO

this average, it will be easy to show
the company that nearly 1,500 people
will be users of the line if it were to

not repudiated at Constantinople to
the satisfaction Of Russia, this action
Of the Ottoman navy may lead to COM
plications second only to the rivalry
that began the pan-European war. The
opportunity has now come for nealiz-
ing the Slavs' age-long ambition to
sieze Constantinople and secure an
outlet to the sea, blocked neither by
winter ice nor a foreign coast line.
1T is undoubtedly expected in Berlin
to cause an important change in Rus
sia's strategy. II Russia had no i'm

lug of strong retalatory measures
against Turkey, there is no holding
the Mohamedans at bay with small
force. In this case there need be no
change in Russia's movement against
the Austro-German move Russia can
gain enormously by subduing Turkey.
A serious campaign against the
Turks, however, will require Russia
to divert a large part of her army
that had been designated for the
march to Berlin. This Is where Ger
many expects to gain an initial adyan-
tage to be followed up by creating
possible discord among the allies in
the peace conference, when II there
should be an allied victory, Turkeys
fate must be decided. German diplom-
acy has succeeded in putting the su-
preme temptation before Russia.
Whether the Slav Will remain wholly
true to the allied interests, or wheth.
er self-interest will step in. remains
the most momentous question OF the
immediate future.
Germany has failed to carry for
ward her offensive in western Belgium
during the week. The dominant Ger
man military maxim to be always
doing something has been well empha-
sized in the coastal assault, but with
out result. This route to Paris which
was planned originally by Frederick
the Great, to proceed via Dunkirk and
Abbeville, seems to have been closed
to his twentieth century successor.
The allies have held their own In
Flanders aud northern France
throughout TIE week. That they have
been unable to carry out q counter
offensive is not as serious as the
failure of the Germans to resume the
offensive. For the second time, tina

The only impression the soldier Of to-

Neither the officers or soldiers see

what he is doing. Your aviators are
your eyes. The artillery does the
work. One stays always in the
trenches.
However, the small local engage
ments which have replaced the gener-
al battle are terrible. In the present
war the reason for this 10 the fact
tho French defend every village az
though it was fortress. The result
10 that they have compelled US to use
our artillery freely and from this has
come the great devastation Of the
present war. Whoever hiss traversed
