EXIT HuERTA

If Huerta has twenty millions

the veracious newspaper correspond
ents would have as believe. there
isn't enough in the city Of Mexico to
finger Of psychology points to the
time Of departure.
Life and the Champs d Ulysses
look good TO Huerta. He loves the
fieshpots and the liquid that sparkles.
He has the prospect of twenty years
of leisure and pleasure before him as
an expatriate. In Mexico there is
nothing ahead but trouble and-the
fate MaderO met. Carranza may talk
largely about trials and justice and
all that but Huerta knows what he
means and what he means is that
Huerta Will be eliminated. not ban
ished or imprisoned but blotted out.
Huerta is some blot on the map of
Mexican affairs. but it is not like him
TO run the risk Of being wiped out
for the sake Of a principle. He is
cunning. crafty and courageous. but
he knows when ne is beaten and
when TO quit The chances are that
just before the explosion occurs
Huerta will be among the missing and

THE GENEROSITY OF COD.

1. God Gives Us All Work TO Do.
The lesson story is concerning a man
who hired labOrers for his vineyard
and agreed with them for a penny a
day; he took on men during various
hours in the day and when night
came gave each a penny, the last TO
commence work receiving the same
amount as the first. This story dem
onstrates two things at least, the first
that God gives work 10 all who will
accept it, and that while he pays
every man fair wages he deals with
some with great generosity. God in
his providence appoints us TO the or
binary avOcations of life. We are
placed together in families. in com
munities. and We each have a duty
TO perform in the home and com
munity: thus God gives every man
something 10 do. IL is good, there
fore. TO realize that we are Gods
stewards and that the positions we
occupy are by his appointment. and
that we shall surely receive a just
wage. Then God appoints all OF US TO
what we may call a heavenly hus-
bandry; he expects all 10 work in his
vineyard. We are 10 labor with our
fellow men so that they Will bear the
proper kind and amount OF fruit: cul-
tivating in them love for God. and for
one another influencing them 10 look
and speak kindly 20 their neighbOrs.
and To do good 10 them as they have
opportunity. We are also TO be kind
