His one Message was the
Good Tidings of the Kingdom Of God.
Any Christian who has not learned
that Gods Kingdom is the very es-
sence Of the Church's hope and the
worlds hope has not probably read
and believed the Bible.
The Jews, not being ready for the
Kingdom, were as a nation rejected
from being Messiah's associates in
that Kingdom. But not all were re-
jected; hence we read that to as many
as received Him gave He power to be-
come sons of Colby the begetting
and amounting of the Holy Spirit at
Pentecost
While thus declaring the Kingdom,
Jesus was not begging His way. We
have no suggestion that he ever took

CioQenEs' Tub.

The tub In which Diogenes, the
cynic, made his home, was a great
earthen jar discarded from the Cybele
temple. 1t had been used for wine
or oil for the sacrifice of the temple
and was sufficiently large to allow
the philosopher a reclining place.
The truth of the tale has been called
into question, although 1t is said that
during the Peloponnesian war the
Athenians dwelt in just such vessels,
and that even after the death of Dr.
ogenes such receptacles were used as
dwelling places by the poor.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Paper bags are useful and should
hand which holds the backing brush,
whether for shoes or the stove, and
prevent soiling the hand. Use bags
to put over the cleaned lamp chin
neys; then when the lamp is wanted
the chimney will be bright and shin
ing.
Slip a bag over a bowl or pitcher of
milk when setting away, or when used
In sick room. A paper bag slipped
over small bowl when beating
cream, with place cut at the bot
tom for the handle of the beat
er to come through, will save spatter-
ing yourself and the table.
Put box Of good soil In your Gel
lar so that in the spring you will have
it ready to plant your seeds.
Never travel without fax seed in
your handbag. Then If you or your
netghbor gets cinder in the eye,
moisten one and drop 1t in. The gel
atinous covering of the seed will
quickly gather up the foreign body
unless it is Embedded in the eyeball.
One of the first things to try with
strangling child is to take him by
the legs and shake him. When he
opens his mouth to cry, the foreign
body will fall out. A smart blow on
the back will often help to dislodge
anything in the throat.
If the substance cannot be reached
with the finger and drawn up, never
try to force it down, for the vocal or
gans may thus be injured.
When steaming velvet, put fun
mel into the spout of the tea kettle.
This will spread the steam over a
larger surface and the work is more
quickly done.
Children may be taught by means
of their dolls the polite way of intro
duction. How to send and accept in
vitations to teas and dinners, the
proper greetings and adieux and many
of the social customs of the day. It
will be a game for them, but the
knowledge will be invaluable all
through life. One may easily tell the
training child has had by the tone
of voice used in play.

Fate of Christian De Wet.

From the New York Sun.
Gen. Christian de Wet as a prisoner Of
the Union of South Africa may be more
OF a problem than he was as COM
marder of rebels in the field. His life
is forfeit for taking up arms against
the government. There was no pallia-
ton for the offense. Until recently. il
not at the time Of his treason, he was
minister of agriculture of the Orange
River Colony and part of the gov
ernment Even after Gen. de Wet took
the field an armistice was granted No
yember to give him an opportunity to
lay down his arms. but the dour temper
OF the man would brook no compromise.
He was resolute to fight to the bitter
end, and it soon came. He will, OF
course. be tried. but his old comrades in
arms who remained loyal to the British
government will be much concerned
about the measure of his punishment.
At heart Christian de Wet was never
reconstructed. He could not view the
defeat of the Beers In the last war phil
osophically He did not have the broad
vision of Botha and Smuts. The patri-
archal Boer rule was good and sufiicient
to him. Self-government under the
British nag, however safeguarded, meant
nothing to him but CALLING servitude. He
has always dreamed Of Dutch South
Africa.

a fact the official bureaus at Paris and

that this silence Of the Official commune

dition to defend the country more ef-
fectively in case of peril. may have
enlisted the services of few extrem-
lists here and there, but it is wise
movement and worthy of public sup
port We are not to have an Increased
military force, except in the filing to
their full quota of the ranks of many
Of our regiments. We are not to waste
vast sums of money on guns and am
munition. but we must have a sufti-
cient supply of both for effective use
in emergency. To have a field artillery
supplied with only enough ammunition
for one days service Is folly. We are
not going to give way to craze for
battleship building. but we must have
two or more new ships each year, with
such submarines and torpedo boats as
are required. and we must have suf-
fcient supply of torpedoes. Our ships
must be manned. Measures must be
taken promptly to induce young men
to enter the navy. We must abandon
ancient methods and take steps to Sc
cure the recognition and reward of
merit. Our coast defenses must be ex-
amined and improved where improve
ment Is necessary. and an effective
army reserve must be secured.

tactics for the allies. if they contem-
plated an offensive maneuver in the west
at any time, to take advantage Of the
heavy concentration from German forces
in Poland which necessarily weakened
the kaiser's western battle front. The
fact that no general advance has been
undertaken since the great fight in Po-
lant: began would seem to suggest that
it is not the present policy of the Eng
fish and French commanders to move
aggressivey. They must be in consid-
cradle numerical superiority to the Ger
mans to assume the offensive against an
intrenched foe. The experience in the
battle of the Aisne proved that the
Germans can hold such a position with
great tenacity. 1t would be disastrous
for the allies to undertake a general ag-
gressive movement only to fail. even
though the Germans could not counter
with thrust moving the lines farther
west from the present positions. With
out question, both the English and French
armies are being heavily recruited and
proba bly, their leaders are waiting until
their forces are so great as to enable
them to move forward without risking
defeat.
