A new and larger Interpretation of
the teaching Of Jesus is being given in
this generation. There neve. was
such an intense and general solicitude
for the little ones'' of life. This is
the meaning of the new British law
that is changing ancient estates from
game preserves for the nobility into
small farms for the common folk. The
cry of safety first which in varied
forms is being written into legislation
and which holds human life above divi-

workers and for all the people, is

SAYS SUNDAY SHOWS

Des Moines, May 20.-Operating a

Iowa is a violation of the Sunday labor
law, according to the opinion handed
down yesterday by the supreme court
affirming the decision Of the district
court Of Fayette county in the cases
of the State VS.. r. L. Warne and Claud
Schneider of Oelwein.
Warne and Schneider operate NOV

to October 10, 1913, there was an agi-

shows. Information was filed against
the men before a justice of the peace
charging them with performing labor

Whatever hurts the least of these
offends Jesus Christ and merits his
condemnation.
A Unioue Doctrine.
| In the budget of utterances Of Jesus
which make up this Sunday school les
son. there are four distinct messages
The first deals with stumbling blocks
and helpers. The second touches upon
the unique Christian teaching. which
differentiates it from other religions,
that men should forgive one another.
Retaliation was the rule of the world
| in which Jesus lived. The Mosaic
doctrine of IAN eye for an eye" works
out in the Arabs blood fued and in all
the ancient world, which still main
tains the ideals that were common in
Christ's day But He came bidding
men to forgive penitent brother.
There is no mushiness or muddy
mindedness about this. The clear word
of Christ is that an impenitent offend
teacher who has not the courage to
condemn sin has no credentials from
Christ But when brother has re-
pented, then he is to be forgiven.
Yes, and forgiven again and again: for
the kingdom cannot come-there can
not be harmonious social order-un-
til the principal of forgiveness and
fcrhrarance permeates it. BY the for
yiveress that we expect of God Jesus
abjures us to forgive our brethren.
a Prayer For the Times.
Some persons remember Moody
chiefly in terms of his great sermon
on faith, and his voice still echoes in
memory as he repeats this passage.
Increase our faith" This is the third
message of Christ, set apart for the
days study.
1t is timely truth. In the face OF
materialsm, of reckless speculation,
of arrogant worldly-wisdom our day
needs to pray Lord, increase our

juster laws, we need today an acces-

Horse Killed in Runaway

| A runaway accident, in which a horse
J belonging to w. w. Ross of the west
part of town was almost instantly
killed, furnished plenty of excitement on
Portland street last Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Ross was driving down Portland
street and when opposite Rutchins street
was run down by pair of horses owned
by H. A. Smalley & Co. The horses
were hitched to a heavy farm wagon
when they started from H. A. Smalleys
residence and made a spectacular dash
around the corner and continued down
Hutchins street at full speed. Mr.. Ross
thought from the way the horses were
heading that they would turn up Port
land street and refined his horses towards
Sherman's barber shop But the run
away team dashed madly across the
road, instead, and the wagon pole of
the Smalley team entered the body Of
one OF the horses of the Ross team, be
hind the forward legs. The Ross team
was turned completely around and the
injured horse dropped dead almost in
instantly. The Smalley team continued
up Portland street and was stopped at
Brigham street corner by the heroic
work of Foster Van Dusen, assisted by
Ned Phillips.
Mr.. Ross, very fortunately, escaped in
jury and the only damage beside the loss
of the horse was the breaking of the pole
of the Smalley wagon. When stopped
the frightened team was headed directly
for the Blair shoe store on the sidewalk.
Luckily there were no children on the
street at the time.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing infam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys AMI skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla today.

The basket ball game last Thursday
