the king should observe the Golden
Rule-that he should do to them, and
for them, as he would that they should
do to him, were conditions reversed.
The Golden Rule, laid down by the
great Head of Christianity, is despised
and rejected as impracticable; but we
hold that 1t has net had a trial. Those
who have the power have always fear
ed to trust the Golden Rule In their
dealings with fne people. Political
parties, clamosfng for something like
the Golden Rrie. have time and again
climbed into power, only to refuse to
use the ruls after gaining the oppor-
tunity, coatending that conditions
made 1t impossible. Soon, however, 1t
will have 4 worldwide test, and Will
demonstrate that it is the only rule by
which human happiness can be perma-
nently secured. Messiah's Kingdom
Will give mankind compulsory educa-
lion along this line for 1000 years.

Their and his heavy yoke which he put
upon US lighter, and we will serve
thee"
The young king babe them return
after three days. When he conferred
with the old men of his kingdom, they
advised, IF thou wilt be a servant
unto this people this day, and wilt
serve them, and answer them, and
speak good words unto them, then they
will be thy servants forever" But
this advice was not fully satisfactory
to young King Rehoboam; so he In
quired OF his personal friends, younger
men of his acquaintance. These gave
that to yield to the people would be
merely to start rebellious demands
which eventually would be unendura-
ble.. The king agreed with them.
But the ten tribes were not intimi-
dated. They withdrew, refusing to
boam as their king. Only two tribes,
Judah and Benjamin., remained loyal
to Rehoboam. Thus the kingdom Of
Israel was divided. Thereafter the ten
tribes maintained the title Kingdom of
Israel, and the two tribes were called
the Kingdom Of Judah, for over five
hundred years-until the return from
Babylonian captivity.
Since the captivity, the name Israel
has stood for the entire twelve tribes,
as at first, being so used by Jesus and
the Apostles; and the name Jews was
similarly used for all in covenant re
lationship with God. The great ma
jority never returned. But others of
them, remaining loyal to God and
going to Jerusalem annually at the
feast, as directed by Gods Word, CON
tinned to be known as members Of
'the twelve tribes scattered abroad"
Many of these came into contact with
the Truth In the days of the Apostles.

Although neither rebellion nor pro-

Here is the best test of the truth.
Here is Valley City story that has

with a point which will come straight

Mrs. C. A. Anderson, 80 Second

relatives suffered for two or three
years from sore back and heavy, dull
pains through the kidneys. Sweeping,
exertion or STOPPING sent sharp pains
darting through the back. After Diff

Doan's Kidney Pills were used.
They helped from the first and before
long the patient was in good health

Lost Life in
New York Fire

New York, Nov. 6.-Twelve girls
and men are known to have lost their
lives today in fire that destroyed an
old four-story brick and wooden fac
tory building in the Williamsburg Sec
ton of Brooklyn. A search Of the
ruins is expected to uncover the bod
les of 10 other victims, eight of them
girls, who were reported as missing
tonight. Of the 4S injured in hospitals,
many were expected to die and score
more were left seriously burned and
bruised.
The building was occupied by can
dy manufacturing concern and three
firms manufacturing clothing whose
employees normally totaled 300 but
more than a third had been dismissed
before the fire started, for Saturday
half holiday.
The flames were discovered shortly
before 2 o'clock by a girl employe of
/ the candy factory, which occupied the
ground floor and basement, and was
soon roaring up the elevator shaft
around which wound the principal
stairway.
There was one other stairway In the
rear of the building and some of the
entrapped persons escaped by that, but
before the firemen arrived men and
women were leaping from the win
dows.
Flames swiftly spread from the ele'
vator shaft into the fourth floor and
scarcely had the first stream of water
entered the building when the root
collapsed. The other floors soon after
fell one by one.
Today's disaster was the worst fac
tory fire in New York since the Tri'
angle Waist company was burned out
several years ago with a loss of las
lives.
Flames spread SO rapidly that es
cape for the most of the employees
in the building by stairs and elevators
was impossible. The only fire escape
became jammed. The flames drove
the frightened men and women to the
windows and forced them to jump. OF
the II bodies recovered from the ruins
six were taken from the fire escapes
and four were found hanging on win
dows charred beyond recognition. Sew
eral girls were burned to death in the
sight Of great crowd Of helpless spec
tators.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1915-11-11

No one could be found to tell how
it started but within half an hour the
roof of the building had collapsed. In
another hour it was nothing but a
tottering shell of brick walls enclos.
ing smoking ruins and probably the
bodies of the missing.
Not until the list of employees in the
ruins searched were the police willing
to believe that the death list would
exceed rs. Coroner Wagner started
an immediate investigation of the
cause of the disaster.
After a preliminary investigation by
authorities tonight Mrs. Edward L.
Diamond, owner of the building, and
her husband, were arrested on charge
of criminal negligence and remanded
to Jail without bail. Diamond said
he was in the building at the time of
the fire, but claimed ignorance as to
the cause.
