LlLlTH NOT A BIBLE NAME
Figures in Jewish Legends az De-
stroyer of lnfants-Aiso as
Adams First Wife.

Lilith is not Bible name, but a
Hebrew word, used to designate an
imaginary being referred to in the BIZ
Bile, but not by name. An authority
gives Lilith as the name of the first
wife OF Adam, according to rabbinical
tradition and says: "She was made
of the earth as was Adam himself, and
would not submit to be ruled over by
her husband Seeing no possibility of
an agreement between herself and
him, she fled away to the sea, where
she became the mother OF race OF
demons and as punishment for re-
fusing to return to Adam, one hundred
of her children were to die every day
Lilith became noted in Jewish legend
as a destroyer of infants and for this
reason they adopted the custom OF
writing the names of three protecting
angels on slips of paper or parchment,
and binding the& upon the infant, to
prevent the evil influence Of Lilith.'
This refers to an ancient custom and
We do not know that any trace of 1t
survives. Another authority says that
the Hebrew name Lilith attaches to
the passage in Isaiah 34:14, which
says, "The night monster shall settle
there and shall find her n place of
rest Popular superstition named
this imaginary night monster Lilith,
and the Jewish encyclopedia says,
THE superstihons regarding her and
her nefarious doings were, with other
superstitions, disseminated more and
more among the mass of the Jewish
people. She becomes a nocturnal de
mon, flying about in inc form OF
night owl. and stealing children. She
is permitted to kill certain infants
and if child smiles during the night
of the Sabbath or OF the new moon,
it is sign that Dililh is playing with
it." The Jewish encyclopedia treats
as unworthy of notice the idea that
Lilith was Adams first wife, but adds,
She is a clear instance of the persis-
tence of popular superstitious beliefs
The word undoubtedly is Hebrew, but
as it does not appear in the Bible its
connection with the passage in Isaiah
about a demon of the night seems to
be purely arbitrary.

II would be natural to suppose that
shipments of gold bullion back and

transport Of great wealth is carried on
with such simplicity
One of the great liners has two
strong.rooms. the smaller being in
close proximity to the captains quar-.
ters, while the other is next to the
provision department. The small
strongroom has it's walls. floor and
ceiling lined with two-inch steel plato,
and contains nothing in the way Of
furnishing other than shelves. This
has more than once contained enough
gold to buy the liner many times
over, The locks, which are of the
double variety, are rendered still
more secure by covering the keyholes
with steel hasps, which are themselves
locked in place with massive padlocks.
This strongroom being located in the
most frequented portion Of the ship, is
passed by persons at all hours of the
day and night, which. after ALL is the

The Crazy War

! When the flags have ceased to
futter over ambush, siege and
rout, then perhaps the kings will
mutter, What was all this scrap
about? We have torn our lands
asunder, it has been a dandy war,
but the time has come to wonder
what in bitten was it for? Now
that for a little season we have
ceased our CORY fun, we'll have
time to find a reason for the
butchering we've done" They'll
have time, the kings and princes,
to ransack each royal mind, but a
reason that convinces will be
mighty hard to find. For 4
while they will endeavor, each to
vindicate his crown, but the true
excuse will never from a throne
be handed down. If an honest,
candid kinglet told the truth, he
would declare, by my halidom
and cinglet, we were loaded up fof
bear; at each other we'd been
yapping, springing warlike threat
and curve, and we had to do some
scrapping, just to show we had
the nerve. We were wild and we
were woolly, on each shoulder was
a chip, and we had to act the bull
", or we feared we'd lose our
grip Still the reeking cannon
thunder and there is no sign of
peace, and the sickened nations
wonder what's become of the

Suffering and the Law Discussed
at Church of the Covenant.

Suffering and the Law" was the sub
ject of the sermon delivered yesterday
morning at the Church of the Cove
nant by Rev. DIR. Charles Wood. This was
one of a series on the general topic of
the various aspects of the law. DR..
Wood dwelt on three sorts of suffering
in this connection: First, suffering as
sign of breaking the law. and including
both physical and mental pain. such as
remorse: second. suffering as a sign
that the law is being obeyed, and, last
~. suffering as an indication that the
highest law. that of service and of
love. has been accepted.
The third and highest FORM" said
~. Wood, "is that which even God
Himself endured in the person of His
Son. and If we suffer in being of serv-
Ice. we are obeying the greatest law in
existence"
In the afternoon DR.. Wood talked
on The Transforming Energy of
Thought" with the theme, LAS a Man
Thinketh. So Is He" Night services
will commence one week from Sunday.
