HANDLING BAGGAGE.
4 system That Simplifies MATTERS For
the Railroad Men.

the Railroad Men.
Like most other mysteries. that Of
handling the thousands Of pieces OF
luggage that come to q great railroad
station has a simple solution. Ii seems
to the layman that there must he con-
fusion when incoming trains dump
hundreds of trunks and hand bags into
the baggage rooms for distribution to
oil quarters OF the city. System. which
has come to play an important part In
all business nowadays. has made bug.
gage handling rather simple matter
for the railroads. 1t Is the use OF key
number that does the trick.
Travellers have noticed that their
check numbers run into six 6gures. II
they pay attention to the figures on
their checks at all. 1t is the third Of
these units. counting back from the
final number, that Is the key to the
whole system of distribution. The ex.
pressman who handles the baggage for
its home distribution hands In to the
baggage agent his mass Of collected
checks. all sorted on that basis. and
the baggage handlers hustle the STUFF
out with very little delay.
Suppose he has only q few checks
from an incoming local train. They
may read 3S4741. 3S420l. 3S4599, 3S4-
735. 3S4S12. 3Si4S7. 3S4622. 3S4256. 1884,
7s9. 3s4747. 3s4O58 and 3s4l23. In each
case the first three figures are Identical
-3S4 The first variation begins with
the fourth, or hundreds. unit. BY
means Of this unit he separates his
checks-all the rs In one bunch. all the
b's In another. and 30 on.
In the baggage room the trunks and
bags are distributed as soon as recelv-
ed in ten apartments. each bearing a
unit number. from o to 8. That num-
ber invariably represents the hundreds
unit of the claimants check. The
trunk with 3S4543 check would go to
the same compartment as one number
ed 3S5543 or 3S3543 OF 12543 or 987543.
The figure 8 is the key figure. with the
result that there Is never any confu-
sion or trouble In locating the baggage
desired. 1t would be In the compart-
ment numbered 8.
This simple plan solves the mystery
as to the prompt location Of piece OF

terminal to another In their own con-
veyances.-New York Sun.

at their reward.
All these difficulties must be borne
In mind when we attempt to fit this
parable to the experiences OF the
Church as a whole during the Age.
If we apply the parable to individual
experiences, we have trouble also. Ap-
plying It thus, we might say that those
who began a Christian life early. and
are found faithful in the Lords serv-
Ice at the evening-time Of life. would
be those first called and promised
reward. Others coming In later and
serving the Lord with only a portion
Of their time, strength and talent
would correspond to those called later
even at the eleventh hour. II we In
terpret the parable as meaning that
all will get a similar reward regard-
less O.. the time spent In the Masters
service, we still have difficulty with
the fact that those called earliest were
dissatisfied.
How then can we apply this parable
consistently. In harmony with other
Scriptural teachings respecting the re-
ward of the Kingdom class? The only
way OF which we can think Is to apply
II entirely to present-life experiences
Of the Kingdom class. especially or
those living at the close Of this Age.
Privilege Of piseipleship the Penny.
For sixteen hundred years and more
the Jews awaited Messiah's Coming
and til blessed opportunities which 1t
would bring. When Jesus began His
ministry, He preached. 'The Kingdom
of God is at hand" and gave the Jews
the privilege Of entering into 1t. Ihat
privilege was ''penny"-a reward for
their faithful endeavor to keep the
Law. But when the offer Of the King
dom was promulgated, some publicans
and sinners were attracted. These new
laborers were received by the Lord
Jesus and given opportunity to become
His disciples.
The Scribes and the Pharisees, faith
full to God all their lives, murmured Mt
any arrangement as Unfair which
would not give them the first opportu-
mites of the Kingdom. IL publicans
and sinners were to obtain the blessed
privileges Of discipleship with Messiah.
surely, they thought. some still higher
favor should come to them.
AS the Kingdom was offered to the
Jews in Jesus day. and those newest
In Div ne service received the same op-
portunities for a share with those l)ng
engaged. so apparently 1t is to be In
the end Of the Gospel Age. AS greater
knowledge Of Present Truth Is low

Lords vineyard. let us not be surpris-
ed IL this shall be equally distributed
to those recently coming In and to
those long I'm the Masters service.
