A PATHETIC SCENE AT THE BETHANY HOME

have often told you that it is thing merely to read
the Bible and another thing to study it. AS repeat the
words Jesus wept knowing the entire chapter as well
as do instantly transpanted in thought from Shiloh
Tabernacle and taken out of the United States across the
Ocean into the Land of Palestine the City of
Jerusalem with it's wall and the many gates the Pool of
Hezekiah and the goldendome tempe-and the Mount of
Olives the east of it, with the old beneath which
Jesus bowed and sweat it were drops of blood and can
see the picturesque roadway crcng around the of the
Mount OF Olives and looking the Temple while
not it, yet know that two miles from Jerusalem around

of the events described in the eleventh chapter of
john and because the home of Mary who anonted
the feet of Jesus and wiped them with hair of her head
that Bethany is the sweetest spot in all the earth made
so by the precious memories of the events connected with the
life of Christ which TRANSFERRED there.
One may read the eleventh chapter of John-a child
may read it-but merely reading it will avail very little;
you have to STUDY it, and have to remember that those
who took part in this evenJesus the Christ Himself
the Son of Man, the apostles and the sisters were human
beings just like ourselves and that the event which called
forth the visit of Jesus and the miracle that He wrought
event similar to thousands of other events which
have happened, many of which you and have seen.
JERUSALEM PAST FUTURE is THE CENTER OF EARTH's
MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS
You must remember that of all the cities that ever have
been built, the most important City of all is Jerusalem;
maybe you do not know that but it is true do not
that it is the most important in population, in wealth,
in massive grandeur of it's buildings; but that in
the sight of God Jerusalem the center of the world the
of Lords earthly Ministry and the spot upon
which the eyes of the world turned today and the City
that shall be the coveted prize in the last great conflict of all
the nations-JERUsALEM!

The real estate agent operating from
distance in selling vacant lots and houses
is placed at a considerable disadvantage.
A prospective purchaser is apt to be
skeptical owing to fake propositions that

seeking.

When keeping house in two rooms a
closet may be converted into kitchen
and fitted up as follows, says the Ma

Around three sides of the closet shelves
may be provided, to hold the necessary

The itinerant harvester has heard
of the bumper crop prospects in the
Northwest and he is here en- masse-
in some localities three or four men
are waiting for every prospective job.
Harvest is now on in some of the
lower Snake River districts and
many of the laborers are finding
work, but more of them are still I'M
employed, and the prospect is, these
will return to their homes-some
from the eastern exremities of the
country poorer but wiser than when
they started for the golden west,
where they were told five dolla--a-
day jobs were begging for takers.
The Nezperce prairie is not yet over
crowded with harvest help, but the
outlook is good for an ample supply
when harvest begins, which beginning
is yet two weeks distant.

These are bad days for the enc
mics of Germany. The drive across
Galicia seems to be going on without
cessation, and the decentralization of
the Russians will be serious matter
if this is not soon checked. 1t all
means that the war will be much
longer and more bitter than has
seemed likely during the compar-
alive calm of winter. The burden
of the fighting is liable to fall, in the
end, upon Great Britain, which has
hardly realized, up to this time, the
serious nature of the contest in which
it is engaged. The defeat of the
Russians must set England to fight
ing as Germany has been fighting for
the past ten months, down to the
last man. If this cannot be accom-
plished, it will be necessary to wipe
"Rule Britt ania' from the world
program.

Regiments without military bands

regiments which have bands.
Earl Roberts said in speech
shortly before his death:

band is to regiment. I have seen
men weary, worn out with fatigue,
hot and smothered with dust, bright

On recent journey through the
sand-hill country of Washington the
writer was more convinced than ever
that this prairie has the "makings
of the best dirt roads possible. The
drag will put this soil in the right
place in the road and it will stay
put. In the Walla Walla and other
similar sections of Washington, the
fluffy sand will not pack in the roads
and they are about as rough at this
time of year as early in the spring
or during the winter. and the only
way this can be remedied is by paw
ing or macadamizing. Of course,
paying and macadamizing make fine
reads, but the expense entailed is
beyond the reach of this and most
other countries, and generally only
the main travelled thoroughfare in
district is given the expensive treat
ment. Here in Lewis county the in
{ expensive drag and little labor will
keep all the roads good practically
the year-round. Our people, how
ever, are just beginning to learn the
real value of the drag-that with it
hey can maintain roads in condition
without tearing them up with pillow
and grader each season. In five
years more the simple drag will be
about the only device employed, and
t will be worked Systematically and
