Ny First Meeting

Shock [.
By MARTHA v. MONROE

When | went to visit my Aunt Mar
tina at East Arlington it was in the
spring of the year, and | was delighted
to be in the country. ! sat on the
porch most Of the time watching a
pair of birds building a nest in a tree
zeal the house and listening to their
twittering. My cousins were all very
kind to me. doing everything in their
power to contribute to my enjoyment.
Tom was in business in the city. but
came out on Saturdays and stayed till
Monday morning.
Tom had a friend. Alan Irving, whom
he said he had picked out for me. Any
girl who is fancy free is interested in
a man who has been picked u for
Der. and l was very curious TO see Mr..
Irving. Hasked Tom to describe him

when Jesus vas JESUS
condemned. Apparently he surmised
that Jesus. brought to the crucial test,
would assert Himself as the Messiah
and would triumph over His enemies.
Judas thus probably thought that he
would hasten the establishment OF the
Kingdom. in which he hoped to share.
Thus he would shine as a hero, as well
as demonstrate his financial wisdom
and his suitability for the post Of
Grand Treasurer Of the Kingdom. In
addition, apparently he was a little
angry at Jesus because the Master had
approved of Mary's conduct in respect
to the spikenard. 1t was under the
impulse of that resentment that he
first sought the priests and the scribes
to negotiate for the betrayal

fered for treachery to God and His
Cause. We merely point out the fact
that every transgressor must first con
sent in his own mind to his wrong
course; the mind, the conscience, must
be perverted before each step of sin.
Hence Jesus words are fully justified:
'It had been good for that man had
he not been born"
Such t~reachery, such willingness to
hand over his Friend, his Teacher, the
One whom he had accepted as the Son
OF God and through whom he had ex-
pected the Messianic Kingdom. was
perfdy of the worst type. He had
been constantly with the Savior. and
hence knew of the purity of His life.
knew of His loyalty to God. There
fore these things constituted his re
sponsibility and his guilt
The fact that he committed suicide
implied a fulflment of Jesus words

born. Yet there is a hope for other

to me, but could get nothing out Of
him except nonsense. Tom promised
to bring him out for the week end as
soon as he could get him, but Mr..
Irving was SO popular and in such de-
mand that Tom found it difficult to
find a time when he was disengaged.
Very naturally l looked forward to
meeting Mr.. Irving and was anxious
to make a good impression upon him
when he arrived. My favorite dress,
a dainty white wolfe, l kept fresh for
the purpose. On no account would l
wear it till the eventful day when 1
should meet the man who might pos
sibly be my husband. | wondered
whether he would like me and wheth-
er l would like him. Then l remem-
bered that men are less impressionable
than women in such matters, and
while | was indulging in fancies about
him he probably never gave me a
thought.
One day my aunt and cousins went
to the city for a days shopping. They
kept no servant, doing all the work
themselves. Consequently, on this oc-
casion the work was left for me to do.
l am not adapted by nature to house
work as some women are. who can
cook a dinner in dinner dress. On the
contrary, I become hot, my clothes be-
come soiled and l am irritated. My aunt
and cousins did moi get of till late, and

spoiled what l tried to cook and drop
ped grease on my dress. Then, to
crown a crown of Sorrows" a sharp
ring came from the telephone, and l
was warned by the authorities OF the
lunatic asylum a few miles distant
that an inmate of the institution had
escaped. and all persons in the neigh
borhood were being notified in order
that they might look out for him.
What do you wish me to do" l
asked. ''in case he comes h%ere-hold
him till yonr men come for him? I'm
alone and entirely unequal to the task
myself"
"Oh, no." was the reply, mot that.
The man is dangerous. We are mott
flying persons in order that they may
take precautions against being injured
by him."

sWos unto that man BY rhom the Son Of
Man Is betrayed. "-Mdfthec s6:1+
~UDAS hailed from Southern Pal
estine, while the other eleven
of Jesus disciples were Gall
leans. 1t is inferred that be-
cause of superior business qualities
Judas was made treasurer of the Apos-
tolic company. Friends of Jesus noted
that He and His disciples needed to
give their entire time to the heralding
OF the Kingdom 1t is not strange.
therefore. that we read that some vol
UNFAIRLY donated money for their sup
port.-Luke 8:3.
Such voluntary donations made it
proper that there should be a treasurer
for the company, and that he should
be of superior business acumen. We
find no reason for believing that Judas
was a bad man when selected by Jesus
to be an Apostle. We have every rea-
son to believe that he developed a bad
character even under the most favora-
BILE inhuences-in the continual com
pany of Jesus and the other Apostles,
and with the Message of the Kingdom
continually In his ears. There was,
however, a beginning of his detection;
and the Scriptures intimate that his
temptation came along the lines OF
avarice, selishness, love of money. 1t
Is still true that .the love of money is
a root of all evil"
A Fulflment Of Prophecy.
Afterward. apparently, the disciples
learned that Judas was a thief John
1870. Doubtless even when appropri-
ating moneys contributed to the sup
port of the little company, Judas could
have some plausible excuse; for sin Is
always deceptive. Brooding on the
subject increased his desire for money,
and led his active business mind to
hatch out the plot for the betrayal OF
Jesus.
The record Is that when Judas per-
ceived that Jesus had been condemned.
he took the money back to the chief
priests. wishing to undo his deed
They laughed at him, declaring that 1t
was no concern of theirs, but his own,
If he had betrayed innocent blood. Be
cause it was blood money they could
not put it into the Temple Treasury
again. Instead. they purchased there.

NAVY INCREASE
MUST BE RAPID,
SAYS MEYER

Associated Press by Ed. Wireless. 7
NEW YORK, Sept. - George Won
L. Meyer. former Secretary OF the
Navy, who returned from Europe on
the Manretania yesterday, said that
the war has demonstrated the vital
necessity OF England maintaining its
fleet on the basis of two battleships
for every one laid down by rival ma
lions. He also said that it was equal
ly important that America keep open
the lanes of commerce In the Pacific
as England had done in the Atlantic
He said the American people should
not belittle the policy that would en-
able the continuance of the naval
building program of four battIeships
annually for the next four years, Mr.
Meyer stated that the Increase of the
American navy as contemplated along
these lines would guarantee the peace
of the nation, the safety of the Pana-
ma Cane and the commerce of the Pa.
cific under all circumstances.
