The Dawn of Christianity
As Des cribed h THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated fro m the Original Greek.

II. And they had king over themi which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
 12. One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
 13. And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
 14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
 15. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and month, and a year, for to slay the third part Of men.
 16. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred number of them.
 17. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on tnent having breastplates of fire, and ol jacinth, and birthstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heaos Of lions; and out of their mouths ls- sued fire and smoke and birthstone
 IS. By these three was the thlfo part of men killed, by the fire, ana by the smoke, and by the birthstone which issued out of their houtns.
 19. For their power is in the!r mouth, and in their tails: for the'f tails were like unto serpents, arc had heads, and with them they do hurt.
 20. And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plaques ye' repente dnot of the works of their hands, that they should not worsni devils and idols of gold, and silver and brass, and stone, and of woo@: which neither can see, nor hear, nc1 walk:
 21. Neither repented they Of their murders, nor of their sorcerles, nor of thelr fornication, nor of thel. thefts. -. ''az= t''1

Where the Fabians First Met.

Eliffard 5 Inn, 5y Temple Bar, which was recently sold at auction iE Lon don, has already undergone good deal of reconstruction, though this has not sc far materially damaged the las. of the cioistral retreats behind the frontage Of Fleet street. When the old buildings disappear, as seems in' evitable, there will go a good many sets of chambers associated with fa- nous men-among them the rooms occupied for mary years, while bis books were slowly making way among the discerning, by that pure eccen tric Samuel Butler of "Crewhon." t was, by the way, ill the little old hall of Clifford's Inn that the weekly meet lngy of the Fabian society wert held for at least decade and half. 1t was there, indeed, that the old gang Sidney Webb.

CHAPTER g.
 And the fifth angel sounded, and l saw star fall from heaven unto th> earth: and to him was given the key cf the bottomless pit.
 ?. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke Out of the pit, as the smoke of great furnace; and the sun and the air smoke of the pit.
 3. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
 4. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass Of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their forheads.
 ,. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months, and their torment was as the torment of scorpion, when he striketh @ man.
 6. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find t; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
 '. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared un.o battle; ond on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
 s. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
 9. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of charicts of many horses running to battle.
 10. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and. there, were stings in their tails: and their power was to iurt men five months.

THE PROHIBITION WAVE.

The progress of the prohibition movement in the United States Is continual. Scarcely is one list of dry states published when it becomes obsolete through the addition Of other states. When is added the counties and communities that con esantly are added to the dry column q procession is formed that dazzles tie eye. :.
 On September 21, 1914 there were nine states entirely dry, namely, Maine, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Kansas and North Dakota.
 On March 15, 1915, the dry states had jumped to twice that number. Those in addition to the above were: Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Washing ton and oregon.
 More than S5 per cent of the rational territory is under prohlbl- ton and more than 32,000,00O people live under it. One half of all the recple living in license territory are il. four states, New York, Pennsyi- yana. Illinois and New Jersey.
 A change in the distribution of wet and dry congressman and senators 1s said by the prohibition advocates to arger we'll for nationol prohibition which they insist is coming Bar tholdt. of Missouri, is no longer IT tie house, and Underwood has gone t, the senate, where he probably wili find two or three prohibition sena- tors to offset his vote against pfohl- hilton. Underwood's state, Alabama, as now dry. and if the senator votes vet if rusf be contrary to the pre- pondering sentiment of his constltu- ents.
 Prohibiticnists realize that the only way to make the big cities of the country dry is to win in the enforce ment of national prohibition. No one inagines that New York City or Chl- csgo. for instance, will vote dry Ill this generation, Or even in the next The, same holds true ot the otlI7r large cities. People living ln these arsat centers insist that they have , constitutional right to rule them- selves. and fail to see the justice 0, having the remainder of the country 1eoislate for them. Probably there IS logic in the argumant, especlaily when we find prohibitionists stfongis aGvocating meme rule for cltles' as they do in many sections or lhe nountrv where the foreign populatioh is heavy. If home rule by natives not foreigners-in Gary is desfaefa- firm merely because it would give all advantage to the prohibition cause than the same reason is applicable to . city like Chicago or New YorK' which wants to rule itself.
