King Solomon found that there was
a solution to this riddle of life.
The solution.
The solution was that the facts con-
tradicted the theory Not mere num-
bers and force and science win battles.
God has many zines overturned the
calculations Of those who trust in in
tellectual force and material skill, and
has made the weak things to triumph
over the mighty.
Divine Spirit.
There is something more irresistible
than all these. There is a divine spirit
working contrary to the foresight of
the prudent and strong and the wis
dom of the wise The selfishness and
cruelty and crushing slavery and de-
generacy of Greece and Rome were
punished. How inscrutable indeed is
providence when those who have little
endowment gain the crown.
We say OF a man: well, he should
be happy, but he is not" The hap
piest are not in kings palaces and, if
the strong were sure to win, where
would be the exercise OF Gods power?

War Time Reperses and
Serious Cause Many to
Take Their DUN Lives

Aurlcnf SWItzerIand. Feb \ Zb.-The
Vienna correspondents Of the Swiss
newspapers report that the number of
suicides is increasing alarmingly
throughout Austria and Hungary. Tho
un1ortunates who end their lives are
mostly elderly tradesmen who have
been ruined by the war. and wives and
widows of soldiers
Many women find it impossible to
support themselves and their children
with the small allowances they get
from the government and the different
relief committees, and they prefer a
quick death to endless misery. In
some cases the poor women kill their
young children before ending their
own lives.

attracts tourists and also buns and
other undesirables.
The Laymens Missionary convention
is held under the auspices of a strong
nation wide organization. The team Of
speakers travel over the United States
and Canada Their movements are
watched and advertised extensively Is
it not a fact, that if we can make an
impression upon these men and their
correspondents all over the world that
FL Paso is q city Of churches and
schools. that religion and education,
morality and true progress flourish
here, that that impression spread
broadcast will be q better advertise
ment for the real good Of the city,
Men do not move their families to
city Tor the advantage of proximity TO
races. gambling and vice. is not the
other plan worth trying?
The work Of registering delegates
to the convention has been pushed dur
ing the week by chairman Mcknight
and members of the committee. 1t will
be continued with vigor during the
coming week. which is the last one be-
fore the opening of the big convention
next Sunday.
A mobilization meeting will be held
Sunday afternoon at o'clock in the
First Christian church for the purpose
of furthering the work There will be
short talks by prominent speakers,
music by the Calvary Houston Square
Babtist church and good singing. All
men interested in the movement Will be
welcomed.
