WALK THROUGH THE GREAT
TEMPLE OF CHRISTIANITY.
(By Billy Sunday.)

Twenty-Five years ago, with
the Holy Spirit as my guide, j en-.
tered this aRanaerfm temple called
christianity. entered at the
portico of Genesis, walked through
the Old Testament art gallery,
where the pictures of Noah, Abra-
ham, Moses, Joseph, Isaac, Jacob,
and Daniel hang con the wall. 7
passed into the music rooms OF
Psalms, where the. Spirit swept the
keyboard Of natune and brought
forth the dirge-ike wall of the.
weeping prophet jeremiah to the
grand, impassioned = strain of
Isaiah, until it seemed that every.
reed and pipe in Gods great or.
gan of nature responded to the
tuneful harp Of David, the sweet
singer of Israel. / entered the
chapel of Ecclesiastes, where the
voice of the preacher was heard.
and into the conservatory or Sha-
ron, and the lily of the va1ieys's
Fsweet-scented spices filled and
perfnned my life. ] entered the
business Office of Proverbs-theL
to the observatory room of the
prophets, where I saw telescopes
of various sizes, some pointing to
far-off events; but all concentrated
upon the bright and Morning Star,
which was to rise above thefmoon-
lit hills of Jndea for our salvation.

That dogs understand words

to take notice. My daughter said,

out of his basket and was all at

MASON TELLS WHAT
WAR MOVES MEAN

New York, Dec. 2S.-Withdrawal
OF Indian troops from France, an
nounced yesterday, was due to their
comparative failure as fighters when
they faced artillery. When con-
fronted by these modern weapons
they lacked moral stamina.
Apparently Sir Douglas Haig made
their removal his first important de-
cision since he became commander
on the west front.
White troops hereafter will be
concentrated on the western front,
and the Indians where the demor-
alizing effect of artillery is not so
extreme. Difficulties Of transporta-
tion make it impossible to move large
mortars to Mesopotamia and the
Suez canal, hence it may be that this
is the site selected for the Indians
operations.
There is probably no truth in re-
ports that the British are sending
these forces to India to subdue a
mutiny, for II England desired to end
such mutiny she undoubtedly would
dispatch loyal white troops. Reports
concerning the Indian situation come
by way Of Constantinople, the most
untrustworthy source of information

Chief Forester Graves told the con
