~ODAY'S Study relates to the
commission. or authorize ton
" Of service. which Jesus ap-
pointed to His Church during
the forty days subsequent to His res
direction. First. we have His words
in the upper room at Jerusalem. and
then Il part of the general commission
given just before His ascension.
The Evangelist sums up in a few
words Scriptural exposition which
probably occupied at least an hour.
Probably our Lord explained to them
the significance of the PassOver-that
He was the Antitype Of the lamb kill
ed at that time; and that the first
borns. subsequently represented in the
tribe of Levi. typified the Church Of
the First-bOrns. whose names are writ
ten in Heaven. All the sanity fol-
lowers of Jesus will eventually be Ell
Their of the Royal Priesthood or Of the
antitypical Levites. their servants. in
the work of the worlds blessing during
Messiah's Kingdom.
Doubtless the Master also gave sug
gestions respecting the antitypical
Atonelnent Day and the better sacri-
fices-that He Himself began these
sacrifices. which would be continued in
His disciples; and that after these
sacrifices were finished. the Atonement
blessings would go forth from the
High Priest to all mankind.
Whatever features of the Divine
Plan the Master unfolded we have the
assurance that His auditors were deep
ly Interested. They saw heights.
depths. lengths and breadths of which
they had never dreamed. They saw
that Jesus death was necessary for
the carrying out of the hopes Inspired
by Gods promises; and that they them
selves were privileged. not only to suf
fer with Him. but also to be glorified.

body. This evil oeS"S appearance ~
dence of the Di- '"e H'e'e"'
vine acceptance was all-important.
Without it the disciples would have
had no commission and could not be
ambassadors for God.
Jesus indeed had sent out The
Twelve and afterward the Seventy:
but they were His representatives and
He had given them of His own spirit
or power. by which they had worked
miracles. etc. But they never had been
recognized of the Father. They must
wait for the begetting and amounting
OF the Spirit. which alone could qualify
them to be Gods representatives.
"Lo, ! Am With You Away"
ST. Matthew's account Of our Lord s
commissioning of His disciples to de-
clare His Message is full Of interest.
BY appointment the Eleven met Him
in a mountain in Galilee. For a few
moments only did He appear to them.
They worshipped. some fully con-
WINGED. others wavering. 1t was to
convince such waverers that Jesus re-
manned during the forty days. We
are sure that He fully accomplished
His work of convincing the Eleven:
for they were all of one heart and
mind when they waited in the upper
room for the Pentecostal blessing.
Jesus declared that full authority
had been given Him in respect to both
Heavenly and earthly things. Unless
they realized this, it would be impossi-
BILE for them properly to represent Him
before the world. During His earthly
ministry He did not have this author
ity. He was then on trial to demon
strate His loyalty. Having been faith
full even unto the death of the cross.
He was raised from the dead by the
Father. He now wished His disciples

ma" fo'm' commission that
the disciples so and teach belonged
only to the Eleven, but subsequently
1t included st. Paul. who took the
place of Judas. The Apostles alone
are authorized as mOuthpieces of the
Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. To
them was given the great work of
inaugurating the Church.
The Lord has arranged. however,
that each member Of the Church
should be His representative. and have
Il share in proclaiming the Gospel Mes
sage in proportion to his opportunity
and ability. Whoever receives the be-
getting and amounting of the Holy Spir-
it is included in the statement of Isai-
ali GLIB. as a member of the Body
of Christ.
Thus we see our commission as re-
spects all who have an ear to hear our
Message. We are to make them dis.
ciples to immense them in the name
of the Father. the Son and the HOLY
Spirit. and to teach them to observe
all things whatsoever Jesus commends.
This is the extent of our authority.
God will do the rest,

Rumanians Mourn for Dead Ruler.

Bucharest. - The death OF King
Charles of Rumania gives friends OF
the allies n chance TO swing the ma
tion into line with the powers which
are opposing the Kaiser.
The ministry and tho people OF Ru.
mania are openly IN sympathy with
Russia. and great majority Is anx.
ious TO take part In the war against
Germany and Austria.
The influence Of King Charles. who
was n Hohenzollern. and whose large
private fortune was invested In Ger
man securities. held back the tide OF
Slavonic sentiment that was sweeping
his kingdom. Without that influence
to fight II Is believed the war party
win assume the direction OF affairs.

In this statement II is declared that

Belgium last year produced 276.000
tons OF sugar and France 900 tons.
The German crop will be large, ac.
cording to the same authority, unless
the allies should penetrate into the
beet growing regions by Nov. 1, which
seems improbable at this time. In
the province of Brunswick there are
10000 Belgian prisoners. who are in

and potato fields and in the eastern
part OF Germany thousands of Rus

year totalled 2.65S,000 tons.
In Austria-Hungary there is danger
of the crop being badly damaged
through scarcity of labor. us the
Austrians have taken but few prison

URGED TO POOL COTTON
. SUCH A PROJECT MIGHT INVOLVE
$ao0,ocoooo.
Sir Charles Wright NIAGARA Proposes
That United States and Great
Britain Take Over Crops.

London.-Sir Charles Wright Ma
cara, president OF the Federation of
Master Spinner and Manufacturers,
suggested joint valorization effort
on the part Of America and Britain
to take over the surplus cotton in the
United States, and create raw cotton
prices now and in future years.
This suggestion was made at a
luncheon in connection with the or.
ganization of the Institute Of Com
merce and Industry. which was at
tended by Earl Grey. former governor
general Of Canada. Sir George S.
Reid, high commissioner for Aus.
tralia, and representatives of all other
English possessions, who are en-
deavoring to establish a great institu-
tion under which England will be
able to foster trade between the diff
ferent parts OF the empire.
Sir Charles in his address said the
excess Of cotton now on the market
because Of the cutting off of the con-
tinental market has created such un-
certainty in prices that buying is at
a standstill, and that Lancashire mills
must certainly close soon. The result
OF this, he said. would be the virtual
destruction Of the cotton industry in
England, and the ruin of thousands
of American cotton planters, who
would turn their lands to other crops,
thus upsetting the worlds supply OF
cotton in future years
II the governments concerned would
cooperate to provide funds by which
the surplus of cotton in years OF
plenty could be purchased and stored
and held over until years when the
crop did not meet the demands OF the
trade. according to Sir Charles. this
policy would at once have a steadyine
effect on the price of raw cotton and
be of great advantage to everyone in
the trade.
Such a project, according to the
speaker. might involve $500 100000 tc
$3.50, 100000 but there would be little
or no risk at the price which the cot
ton would be purchased, and It might
save disaster to one OF the worlds
greatest Industries. and in addition
prove great factor to the worlds fu
ture prosperity.

Washington, Oct. = Secretary
Bryan has been officially informed

the Japanese government OF its inten'
tions regarding the islands seized was
made voluntarily. State Department
officials said yesterday no inquiries
had been made by the United States
on the subject.
II was believed here tonight that
this government had accepted the
statement from Toxic as sufficient
guarantee that the situation In the
Far East would not be altered In any
way inimical to its interests.
1t was reiterated at the Japanese
embassy tonight that the necessity OF
protecting commerce In the Pacific
from the German cruisers eluding pur
suit in those waters. had prompted the

first Constitutionalist chief. has given
formal guarantee of full protection Of
aliens and Mexicans, irrespective OF
their political affiliations and prom
ises not to reimpose customs duties

That was the positive declaration OF
State Department officials following
the announcements that, despite two
attempts. Carranza has so far refused
satisfactorily TO explain his position
as to what steps he contemplates tax
ing upon the withdrawal Of the Amer
lean forces from Vera Cruz.
II was pointed out that General Fun.
ston had secured the services of Mex

upon the condition that they would be
protected when he withdrew, Under

two weeks ago. for assurances when
his forces took over Vera Cruz. they
would respect the condition laid down
by General Funston.
