al have friend who thinks that
our Lord only tainted on the cross and
later assembled into heaven. Is there
any PROOF that he died, aside from
the statement that he died for our
sins7 (christine.)
Answer.-We give the foI.owingproofs
in direct answer to your question: Cd
Our Lords death could not have been
a case Of suspended animation: the
spear-thrust in His side made this evil
dent, not only because il was N vrtal
wound, but because IL furnished evil
dence that our Lord was already dead
IN that there issued from His size water
IS well as coagulated blood. q, The
centurian charged with the execution
vas convinced of his death. and so re-
ported TO PLATE. the governor. 49, The
re quest of the chief priests. that the
stone against the door Of the sepulcher
be sealed and the Roman guard placed
around the tomb. so that no one could
remove the body and then pretend that
Jesus had risen, was further evil
dence that He was regarded as dead
a. His friends believed that He was
dead and wrapped Him in spices for
burial: indeed in their grief they seem
TO have forgotten His promise of a res
urrection-so much so that even after
He had risen i. was with difficulty that
they were convinced. ~ The record
that the guards dissembled and declar-
ed that the disciples stole His body
while they slept. being bribed by the
Jewish rulers. served at last to prove
that the guard bad heen set and that
everybody recognized that Jesus was
dead. 90 The tomb in which Jesus was
buried was new one, in which no
one had been previously buried, so
there could be no doubt as to the iden-
tity Of the one who arose.

cepting the Bible narrative OF the food

Mt, Ararat as the central point from

itself over the earth. we may reason

HEssIAN FLY KILLED
Wheat Growers Appear to Have
Checked Danger in at Least
One County.

O OONJ
The local papers and the ex-
pertinent station thru its coun-
ty agent and extension service
seem to have checked the work
of the Hessian fly in at least one
county. Very little wheat was
sown before the fly-free date,
October 10, apd in many cases
sowing was delayed until the
latter part of the month and all
voluntary wheat thoroughly de-
stroyed. Preparation of a good
seed bed received much more at
tention than usual, and it seems
very improbable from observa-
tons made by T. ]. Talbert of
the College of Agriculture that
there will be much damage from
the fly in that particular county
next year. Mr.. Talbert says
the late fall may result in the
appearance of a second brood Of
the fly, but that such late APP
pearances are not usually very
severe altho, they may do a lit
tie damage.
It is impossible to say wheth-
er growers have been equally
wise in all parts of Missouri, but
if so there should be five or ten
million dollars worth of wheat
harvested next year in addition
to what would have been har-
vested if the Hessian fly cam
campaign had not been conduct
ed. The wheat had been up for
some time and prospects for a
good crop next year seem excel
lent.

by the German Govern
ment in its demand for a greater
freedom of the seas? 1t cannot
allude to the practise of block
ade, which is recognized as a leg
itimate weapon of warfare. Does
it refer to the interruption Of
commerce as between neutral
nations? If so, it would appear
that the Imperial Government
has assumed a new role of action
in defending the rights of neu-
trails, and in view of the gigantic
struggle in which it is engaged it
is rather surprising that it
should have either the time or
inclination to discuss such an alb
stract proposition, especially in
view of it's activities in neutral
Belgium.
This Government is for free
dom Of the seas first, last and all
tho time. and it will be pleased to
know whether there has been
any period in which the freedom
of the seas has not existed with
in recent times. In case this
principle of the freedom of the
seas were exercised in the direc-
ton of compelling Great Britain
to limit or reduce its naval arma-
ment to the point at which Ger
man, with its comparatively linn
tied littoral, would obtain the
naval p~redominance over Great
Britain, what guarantee would
the world have that the freedom
of the seas which had been ex-
tended by Great Britain would
be continued by the Imperial
Government? Furthermore. the
question naturally arises, would
it be desirable for the peace of
the world to have one empire ex-
ercise that complete apotheosis
of militarism which would in
clude at once an omnipotent mil
itary system on land and a COM
plete naval p~redominance?
We, as Americans, believe in
this freedom of the seas, but let
us insist upon its being the same
freedom of the seas which we
and Germany have enjoyed dur
ing the past half century.
It is believed that our people
would welcome a freedom Of the
seas which would assure at all
times an open pathway for all
neutral nations to any nation en-
gagged in hostilities. It is believ-
ed that such a condition would
be a great advance in the ethics
of war, but it would be impossi-
bic to bring it about at this
juncture in the war; and if it
were made a matter of interna-
tional agreement, what guaran-
tee would there be that in the
stress of war such an agreement
would be lived up to, especially
in view Of the way in which
treaty rights in the present war
have been disregarded ?-Scien-
tiic American.
