 Then of the comfort that comes from His conscious presence with us. Our comfort from God is according to the nearness that We live to Him. We have all the peace and comfort we live for.
 Then he spoke of the comfort that comes from the hopes of the future. God provides not only for a day but for eternity. God does not provide for us here and leave us orphans for eter- nity.

 HIS PEOPLE'' -HARKER

Dr. Ray Clarkson Harker, pastor of the First Methodist church of Phoenix. gave his first sermon since returning from his vacation, at the church Sun day morning.
 Dr. Harker has spent a couple of months at Long Beach, California, but said he was glad to get back to Phoe- nix, to get some sunshine and to get warmed up.
 Dr. Harker spoke to his people from the text. Isaiah 40:1 Comfort Ye. Comfort ye my people saith your God" He spoke of the comfort that comes from the fact that God made us. The fact that we are made in the di- vine image makes it possible to think Gods thoughts after Him, to swing the

 You are wrong. It has the courage of its convictions"
 Rather is it not stubbornness, will full refusal to recognize things as they are?'
 He countered the question with an- other. "Supposing we were all indi- viduals, in the sense you mean? Sup posing each of us did exactly as he pleased?

 "Yes. But the introductions will be made on the cafe veranda. These peo- pie out here have gone mad over cock tails. And look your best, Elsa. want them to see real American girl tonight. I'll have some roses sent up to you"
 Elsa had not the heart to tell him that all interest in his dinner had suddenly gone from her mind; that even the confusion of the colonel no longer appealed to her bitter malice. She knew that she was going to be bored and miserable.
 When she was gone, the consul gen. erals wife said: Poor grill"
 Her husband looked across the room interestedly. Why do you say that?"
 "I am woman"
 That phrase is the City of Refuge. All women fly to it when confronted by something they do not understand"

CHAPTER XIV.
According to the Rules.


 Elsa sought the hotel rickshaw stand, selected sturdy coolie, and asked to be run to the botanical gar dens and back She wanted to be alone, wanted breathing space, wanted the breeze to cool her hot cheeks. For she was angry at the world, angry at the gentle consul general, above all, angry at herself. To have laid herself open to the charge of indiscretion! To have received lecture, however kind ly intended, from the man she loved and respected next to her father! To know that persons were exchanging mods and whispers behind her back! It was a detestable world. It was folly to be honest, to be kind, to be individual, to have likes and dislikes, unless these might be regulated by outsiders. Why should she care what people said? She did not care. What made her furious was the absolute stupidity of their deductions. She had not been indiscreet; she had been merely kindly and human; and if they wanted to twist and misconstrue her actions, let them do so.
 Once or twice she saw inwardly the will-o' 'the-wisp lights of her soul. But resolutely she smothered the sparks. The coolie stopped suddenly.
 "Go on," she said.
 But the coolie smiled and wiped his shaven poll. Elsa gazed at the hotel veranda in bewilderment. Slowly she got out of the rickshaw and paid the fare. She had not the slightest recol- lection of having seen the gardens. More than this, it was a quarter to seven. She had been gone exactly an hour.
 Perhaps, after all," she thought, q am hopeless. They may be right; ought to have a guardian. am not always accountable for what I do." l She dressed leisurely and with cal culation. She was determined to con- vince everyone that she was a beau tiful woman, above suspicion, above reproach. The spirit within her was not, however, in direct accord with this determination. Malice stirred into life again; and she wanted to hurt someone, hurt deeply. It was only the
 
 mitted without murmur or protest And Elsa, only dimly aware of it, was mortally hurt.
 'Elsa," said Martha, "that frown will stay there some day, and never go away"
 Elsa rubbed it out with her finger Martha, do you recall that tiger in the cage at Jaipur? How they teased him until he lost his temper and came smashing against the bars? We'll, l sympathize with that brute. He would have been peaceful enough had they let him be. If MT. Warrington calls to morrow, say that I am indisposed.' '
 Martha evinced her satisfaction visibly. The frown returned between Elsas eyes and remained there until she went downstairs to join the consul general and his wife. She found some

 Tt is a hateful world!" Elsa ap- pealed to the wife.
 ''It is, Elsa, dear. But James is right"
 You'll get your balance" said the guardian, when you reach home. When's the wedding?"

make it useful to the general welfare of humanity. And when we encounter the untamable, in order to safeguard ourselves, we must turn it back into the wilderness, an outlaw. Indeed, might call individuality an element, like fire and water and air."
 ''But who conquer fire and water and air?" Elsa demanded, believing she had him pocketed.
 'Mediocrity, through the individual of this or that being. Humanity in the bulk is mediocre. And odd as it seems, individuality (which is another word for genius) believes it leads medi- ocrity. But it cannot be made to un- derstand that mediocrity ordains the
 adership."

 'Is it necessary"
 q believe it would be better for my understanding if you made full con- fession." She did not mean to be re- lentless, but her curiosity was too strong not to press her advantage.
 "Well, then, over here as elsewhere in the world there are standards by which we judge persons who come un- der our notice."
 Agreed. Individuality is not gen. erally understandable"
 By the mediocre, you might have added. That's the difficulty with indi- viduality; it refuses to be harnessed by mediocrity and mediocrity holds the whip-hand, always. I represent the mediocre" -----

respondence)-We have been reap

worth of our products; during the
corresponding 1914 period, under a
Democratic tariff law. they dropped
to $79, 500, 600; but during the 1916
period they rose to $l03,000,0O0. The
war opened the way for us.

Dragging on our conquest of South
American markets, and the boast OF
Senator Furnifold Simmons of North
Carolina, that INSTEAD of surrending
our markets to the foreigner, we have

ports to all South America for the
ten months ended April, 1916, were
only about $20,O00,000 in excess of the
record made for the ten months end
