years. 1t got red in places, especially
between my fingers, and when I'd rub

form which filled with water. The

these pimples got. I can't express in
words what terrible thing 1t was. I
couldn't find anything to help me
everything seemed to make it worse.
I had about given up all hope of ever
being cured. They were terribly sore.

many spheres and phases Of which the
earth span was an oft-repeated part
The Man saw that there he had reaped
even as he had sowed, according to the
law. In pre-existence he had not been
honest and sober and of good report, nor
had his thought been noble. 1t had gone
out to gather of its kind, but it had
taken more than an aeon for the gather
ing.
So 1t came about that The Man was
reborn in an environment where he would
have full opportunity to mend the tenor
Of his ways The EFFECT of them
could not, however. be avoided That, he
saw, was the tnviolable law He must
reap even as he had sown. The law had
followed him across The Threshold. He
looked into the things that were to come
and he saw that 1t was the law Of in
evitable justice and that it would fol-
low him through eternity.
The years of his righteousness were
not futile. The end OF the reaping of
those others was at an end and the new
reaping Of things incorruptible and un-
defiled was at hand. As The Man real
lied the meaning of life stretching
through aeon after aeon with its beauti-
full law Of compensation, he was filled
with gladness that even in the years
when everything that came to him SEEM
ed to belle the word Of God the law was
nevertheless working perfectly under his
blinded eyes.
Whereupon he looked about him for
those who before him had crossed The
Threshold-those Of his fellows whose
temporal success had been builded upon
corruption.
But they were nowhere to be seen.

When The Man first read the assurance
that We shall reap as we sow he gave 1t
a deal OF thought. That 1t should be
true seemed to him orly a matter Of pure
and simple justice. He believed perfectly
IN the law of compensation and ordered
his life accordingly.
But as his years went by and The
Mans success was not commensurate
with his effort, doubts. concerning the
wisdom Of his course began to assail him
As far back as he could remember his
attitude toward the world had been on
the level His dealings with his fellows
in business had been erninently square
and honest. He had lived a righteous
life In the fear Of God, sober, honorable
and noble. And through It he had work
ed with unceasinS energy and An ever
present belief that Whatsoever a man
soweth that jhau he also reap"
But when he began to face the West
The Man had not yet reaped the harvest
Of his sowing
Or 50 he thought!
He looked about him to see how the
law Of compensation affected others,
and when he had. looked concluded
that there was something wrong with
his faith.
Life doesn't prove that a mans
sowing is according to his reaping,"
he exclaimed in bitter disappointment.
Why, there are a dozen Toms
Dicks and Harrys whom I personally
know whose business methods have
been as crooked as a hoop around a
barrel They have sown corruption
and reaped success"
The Mans observation was true
enough and puzzling enough to be
sure There were endless folk all
a hf-7
sober and honest as he-dozens whom
he himself knew who had walked to
all the soft and pleasant things of
life along a mighty crooked road. The
Man watched them and studied their
ways, and he was satisfied that their
lives belied every law Of Just COM
pensstion he felt the faith of a life
time slipping away from him like
water through a sieve.
The law Of compensation became an
irony In his eyes. The fine and noble
thoughts that he had entertained all his
life mockery. He had been q plain
fool to have believed that the harvest
would be according to the sowing. Life
everywhere proved that it was not so.
The Man therefore ridiculed his life Of
rectituds and regretted that he had not
grabbed everything that came his wax
through fair means or foul
I might as well have had the good
things Of life-wealth and all that It i'm
plies. 1 might have had It had not
been so busy living right and believing
In the law OF compensation" he said.
Bat II was too late to begin over now
The Mans life was but little span. Soon
that was run. and he stepped across The
Threshold with q mind that seethed with
chaotic thought and heart that doubted
the word and wisdom Of God.

STOP GERMAN TRADE
 WAR AFTER PEACE
House Of Commons Urges Britain
 to Exert Economic Pressure

London, Jan. 11.-The debate in the house of commons fast night was chiefly remarkable for the unanimity to exert the largest possible degree of economic pressure on Germany and in recomm ending that steps should immediately be taken to prevent any menace from German trade warfare directed against the allies after peace is signed.
 A resolution was adopted without division that, with a view to increas- ing the power of the allies in the prosecution of the war, his majesty s government should enter into imme- diate consultation with the govern ments of the dominions in order, with their aid, to bring the whole econom ic strength of the empire to co-opera tion with the allies in policy directed against the enemy"
 Principal Speech.
 The principal speech was made by Walter c. Runciman, president of the board of trade, whose emphatic dec laration on the importance of main taining British trade. were regarded as largely directed towards making clear the position which caused him to hesitate to endorse Premier As quith's compulsion policy last week.
 "While the war it on,'' he said, i've must do everything in our power to cripple and destroy German finance, credit and trade, at the same time building Up our own and our allies and laying the foundation for future action when peace cOmes.'
 Refer to U. s.
 In the course of the debate there was some allusion to the danger of which one member declared would be Q. more formidable competitor after the war than Germany. To this John Halford Mackinder, uniOnist for Glas- gow, replied, expressing the affection of Great Britain for America.
 The member has spoke of Ameri- ca as dangerous commercial rival" he said, "but he cannot conceive of that competition taking the complex, scletlfic and destructive form of Germanys competition"
