CAMP GIVES talk
ONRESURRECTION
Noted Evangelist Discusses Bible Text
Bearing on Matter at Broad
way Church.

Norman H. Camp, who is conduct
ing the bible institute at Broadway
Presbyterian church, is rather an I'M
usual bible eXpositor in these days of
critical interpretations and philosoph-
ical views Of scripture He follows
the simple but unusual plan of taking
it for granted that statements in the
bible are made in good faith, and that
they are to be taken as the literal
truth, without apologies.
He applied this method last night
to his exposition of the doctrine of the
resurrection of the body. In dealing
with this subject he brought forward
the statements of bible texts bearing
on the matter, and instead of inter-
preting them as tigurative or allegor-
ical language, he simply presented
them as literal truth. with results that
were hardly less than startling to
many of his hearers.
There is no fact in history that Is
better authenticated than the resur-
rection of Jesus" said Mr.. Camp
Few scholars today attempt to ques-
ton this fact, but many try to inter
pref it in other ways than the scrip
tural way. The bible states that Jesus
rose from the dead on the third day
after his death, and that his resurrec-
ton body was one of flesh and bone
1t was not a body of flesh and blood
as his natural body had been, for his
blood had been split as a sacrifice fol-
the sin Of men, but it was a body in
which the spirit of God was the life.
THE bible says that this same Jesus
who was received up in this natural
body into heaven at his ascension
shall so come again in like manner
Evidently Jesus, the Son of Man, still,
retains this resurrection body, in
| which he shall appear at his second
coming as Lord and King and Judge
and the bible further states that
the resurrection Of man is to be Of
the same sort as the resurrection Of
Jesus; that the mortal body shall be
| changed, as was his mortal body, anC
that we shall be raised in the body tc
be with him.
THE church claims to believe in the
resurrection of the body and the life
everlasting, but many of our teachers
try to spiritualize this doctrine to sui
their ideas, and thus they get entirely
away from the plain teachings of the
word of God"
! People who are at all interested II
| knowing what the bible actual!
teaches should not fail to hear Mr.
Camps expositions. He is keer
thinker, forceful speaker, and {
thoroughly evangelistic teacher. Whil'
some of his hearers may be unable tt
agree with him in every point, no ont
can listen to him honestly and fairl.
without being stirred and stimulated
to an ambition to know the bible bet

subject, illustrating his sermon b,

May ELIMINATE
| THE MIDDLEMAN
Because of Belief That He is Not Nee
essary to Commerce Austria
is Against Him.

Vienna, Dec. 31.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-Further
measures. for the elimination of the
"midleman whose participation in
commerce does not add to the value
or facilitate the distribution of nee
essities" are being adopted through
out the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
Not alone are new laws for this pur-
pose being enacted, but the provisions
already made by the civil and mil
itary bodies are now being enforced
with a rigor that gives no quarter to
offenders.
Laws in force and in the course of
enactment provide that nobody within
Austria and Hungary may buy an ar
ticle of necessity and then sell it
again for the sake Of personal gain.
This effects transactions in foodstuffs
especially. When the European war
broke out it was found that there were
many who wished to profit by 1t
through the "cornering' Of certain
supplies. In little time the cost of liv-
ing went up alarmingly, increases
ranging from so to 400 per cent To
curb this tendency the government
itself took such action as it's power
and scope permitted. 1t was found.
however, that the legislative bodies of
Austria and Hungary, had to act in
the matter Suitable laws were adopt
ed. and these are now being so am
plified as to close the loopholes which
various actions at law have disclosed.
A recent ruling in an Austrian SUI
perior court in this city is of inter-
est, because it shows both the letter
and spirit of the Misrepresentation
laws which have been adopted.
In this case three Galicians had
bought relatively small quantity OF
food stuff, mostly grain. At the trial
1t was shown that the three dealers
had sold the articles again in the same
town, in one instance wheat had been
resold to its original owner. A profit
had been made, and slight increase
in the price of food made from the
articles in question, had resulted, it
was proven.
The court ruled that under the law
this was an offense, because the sale
and resale of the articles had been
made by the defendants with a profit
to which they were not entitled, hav-
ing added neither to the value of the
articles, nor facilitated their distribu-
ton. They had, In fact, found the
Judge, rendered distribution more diff
cult by holding the articles for a Ger
tain time.
The defense was that the accused
had acted within their constitutional
rights by buying and selling as they
had done, and that they had not ham
pered distribution, because they hat
at all times been ready to sell. But
the prosecution obliged the defendants
to make the admission that they had
held for higher price, whereupon the
court found that this was now an of.
| Tense, because to hold necessities for
the gaining Of profit, through the op-
Grafton of the law Of supply and
demand" was illegal.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 90 Sew
enteen-year-old Richard Considine of
Chicago, stowaway on two Union lin
ers, newsboy, and a youngster who can
hold his own with anyone, made a
hasty jump down the gangplank of the
liner Natal when that vessel arrived
from the South Seas. Richard was no
more happy to get ashore than was
Captain H. H. Williams to have him off
the ship.
Several months ago young Consi-
dine arrived here from Chicago to see
the exposition. He sold papers in this

lust, and slowed away on the liner
Moana, bound for Sydney, where he
! hoped to make his fortune.
At Papeete, in the wonderful land
of Tahiti, Dick" went ashore to see
if he could find any cannibals, and
missed the Moana when she left for
! Australia. He drifed around the cap
ital until the Natal came in, and the
| thought of the United Stated tempted
/ him.

told me his troubles" said Captain
Williams, as he pulled mediatively at
his pipe, land l told him if he could

that? No He slowed away on the
ship, and l found him two days out.
When l said l would put him at work,
he tried to get off by complaining that
he had pneumonia and he had no more
cold than have at this minute"
Never again." said the youngster
when the liner came alongside the
wharf. THE little old U. S. A. is good

ACHES AND PAINS

Don't neglect pain anywhere, but
md out what causes 1t and conquer the
cause. A pain in the kidney region may,
put you on your back tomorrow. Don't
blame the weather for swollen feet, 1t
may be an advanced warning or
bright's disease. A pain in the stomach
may be the first symptom of appendi-
citis. A creak In a joint may be the
lorerunner OF rheumatism. Chronic
headaches more than likely warn you
OF serious stomach trouble. The best
way Is to keep in good condition day in
and day out by regularly taking GOLD
