BULGARIANS MEET GREEKS.
Situation Much MuddIed I'm the Bal
kanS-I}Oth Sides Worry.

London, Dec. 20.-Greek protests
against Bulgarian armies entering
Greece caused the Germans to halt
their allies at the border, according g
to an Athens correspondent. Ger
many is said to have notified Greece
to this effect and to have begun the
concentration of Austro-German
forces at the border. The concentra-
ton will be completed by Thursday
and a decision as to the makeup Of
the army to march on Saloniki will
then be made, it is declared.
The position of Greece is still re-
@ardcd With keen anxiety by both
sides. The Gounaris party is report
ed victorious in the Gree. elections,
but the expected change in leaders is
not accepted as implying different
military policy. England is impa-
tiently awaiting the crossing Of the
Greek frontier to see whether Greece
will leave the Saloniki area free for
struggle OF which the Greeks would
become passive spectators.
In Bulgaria the next step is the
subject OF warm debate. The official
paper of Premier Radoslavoff de-
clares the allies must be driven from
Saloniki. Whether by Bulgaria or
+NuSIlO-1ei man troops is question
for the military leaders to solve.
The allies in Macedonia do not expect
an early attack if the advance is left
to the Austrians and Germans, as air
men report that the central powers
have not yet gathered a sufficient
force to undertake the offensive

Of his father David. Touchingly he
declared, IL am but little child.
This reminds us Of the Apostles
words, when ! am weak, then | am
strong" This was really the strength
Of Solomon's character; namely, that
he was meek, teachable, like little
child-not boastful or sef-confident.
not blind to the privileges Of his work.
Because Of the responsibilities of the
kingdom, for which he felt himself so
incompetent, Solomon prayed, Give
therefore Thy servant an understand
ing heart to judge Thy people to adj
minister justice to theml, that / may
discern between good and bad: for
who is able to judge this Thy so great
people,"
Is It any wonder that we read fur
ther that In the dream the Lord mani
tested His good pleasure at this re-
quest? "And God said unto him, Be
cause thou hast asked this thing,
49, 10, l have given thee wise and
understanding heart: so that there was
none like thee before thee. neither aft
er thee shall any arise like unto thee.
And have also given thee both
riches and honor"

sound asleep. For God to make fewer
communications with Spiritual Israel
by dreams would not signify lesser
interest In their affairs, but rather that
He had otherwise provided for their
guidance--in the Bible. Additionally,
we learn that He wishes us to walk
by faith and not by sight; and to direct
us continually by dreams would be to
interfere with this walking by faith.
st. Paul tells us that Gods Word Is
sufficient that the man of God may be
thoroughly furnished unto every good
work. q Timothy 3:16, 10 But there
Is nothing to hinder God from using a
dream as a means of instructing His
spiritual children II that should seem
at any time to be the proper course.
Many of the Lords people have had
experience with dreams which seem
ed to give them instruction. Never
theless there Is but one sure way Of
receiving dreams-to interpret them
only in full accord with the Scriptures.
The Apostle suggests that IL an angel
should proclaim any other Gospel than
this. 1t should be rejected. Similarly,
If dream should suggest any other
Gospel, 1t should be rejected.
Soiomon's Wise Choice.
In King Solomon's dream the Lord
appeared to him. saying. ASK what
shall give thee" So God is asking of
all who would become His children.
He desires to do them good, but wishes
them to realize their needs and to
make requests accordingly.
