Hosea's own experiences in some de

Love is the keynote of the Bible.
Notwithstanding the fact that it con

void of Justice, if His Love should
override His Justice. it would be a

ness of character instead of strength.
The fact that Gods Wisdom, Justice,
Love and Power operate in full har-

love for Him. intensified as we realize
His unchanged bleness.
From the beginning Gcd foreknew
His Plan as we see it gradually ripen-

deeply into sin and be overwhelmed in
its penalty. death. He foreknew His
OWE purpose to provide in due time
the Lamb of God as a Ransom-Sacri-
fee for the sins of the whole world.
He foreknew the ultimate blessing of
all mankind, purposing that the glori-
fed Redeemer and His glorifed
Church should be their Deliyerer.
He arranged a thousand years OF
Restitution. when under Messiah's
Glorious Kingdom all mankind should
be brought to a full knowledge of God
and a full opportunity for returning
deemed at Calvary. He arranged that
the ultimately rebellious should be de
stroyed.

In England Sir william Roberts. editor
OF the British Weekly and a close per-
sonal friend of David Lloyd George. the
minister of munitions, declared that
where Germany once had a marked SUI
periority in men It now has a superiority
in ammunition, an advantage 1t will press
to its fullest. The only way, he says for
the allies TO divert disaster is to equip
themselves, and to do this Great Britain
must stand behind David Lloyd George
as minister of munitions as one man.
Moreover, IL he is not given a free hand
he may resign.
He wries: I'VE say with certainty that
the next three months of the war will
DO extremely critical ones for the allies.
The superior strength of Germany in
munitions of war has given Il a second
great opportunity, of which II will take
full advantage.

What happened in France was that
the workmen were taken out of the fac

front and their places inadeauately sup
piled by women and those who could not

MISS SPOONER IN ( BOY ROLE SHOWS
 MUCH VERSATILITY
'.The Dummy at the Lyric Makes Good Impression
 With Audience.

Any boy who happens to go to see
 that intensely interesting detective play, 'sThe Dummy which is being
 played at the Lyric theatre this week
 will certainly be amazed at the ease and naturalness with which 8 girl can portray the part of a, rough and Shrewd boy of the streets. Miss Spooner has won honors in all kinds of parts, but the versatility of the little star was severely tested last might in the part of Barney Cook. IfeThe Dunrny.'' Her portrayal was
 naturalness itself and in the interest ing role she won applause. The play itself is full of thrills. and it's many witty lines call forth the laughter and applause of the audience again
 and again. Although the play is long, there is not a moment of the four acts in which the interest lags. The theme of the play is the kid mapping of child of wealthy par ents, the escape of the kidnappers and the shrewdness of the little mes senger lad who plays the part of a deaf and dumb boy, reputed to be of rich parentage, and who is purposely Kidnapped by the same people that he
 may get the girl back again. The
 boy is all boy, with absolute admira- lion for a. detective, and a wonderful sense of importance that he is one.
 Honors are due Marion Melrose who played the part of the kidnapped girl, Beryl Meredith. Little Miss
 Melrose has appeared with the com pany several times before but this is the first important part that she has
 had. She knew her lines perfectly
 and did some very good acting for one so young. She marred her good
 work a bit by continually smiling, but
 that will probably be eliminated when
 she has become used to having au-
 dience.
