Bits About the Enchanted City of the
ARABIAN Nights"
Inmortalized by Haroun-al-Raschid,
in the story of the Arabian Nights"
Bagdad, which has a population Of
about 10000, was built on the ruins
of an ancient Babylonian city dating
back to 1000 B. G. Records have been
found on ancient bricks establishing

Bagdad. There are $4,000 of them,
with about 5000 Chaldean Tor hereti-
cali Christians. The remainder of the
population is made up of Persians,
Turks, Armenians, Arabs and Kurds.
Sindbad the Sailor was born at Bag
dad, and all his marvellous adventures
begin by his going down the Tigris to
BCssorah (the modern Busra).
The city stands on both sides Of the
Tiesris, the two parts being connected
b. the famous bridge Of boats, 22O
yards long. A brick wall, five miles in
circumference and forty feet high, sur
rounds Bagdad.
The city contains upward of 100
mosques, though barely twenty of
them are in use. The houses generally
are old, dirty and ugly outside, but the
vaulted ceilings, rich holdings, inlaid
mirrors and massive gildings bring

Careless Driving.

As motorcars multiply in numbers it
is evident that increasingly careful
driving is called for. The driver who
"htts her up" endangers not only his
own safety, but the safety Of other mo-
florists. There are drivers who fail to
slacken speed when they come to cross
streets. There are drivers who dash
around corners or across boulevard at
high speed. 1t cannot be too strongly
emphasized that the really competent
driver always has his car under con-
troll; that he always drives on the the
DRY that every other driver may be
careless or may lose his head. Caution
marks the competent driver. Reckless
ness belongs only to the jay.-Kansas

FINDS STANDARDS OF
CONDUCT ARE CHANGED

Christians of today and heathens
of today are living Dy a different
standard of conduct than the one
that came before US. There was a
time when there was fixed division
between the two classes, but now
they blend without a distinct separa-
ton and it is hard TO tell which class
we are 10 put the people into" said
Rev. Charles A. Decker, pastor Of
the First Baptist church, Sunday
morning in his sermon on the sub
Ject Finding the Right Road Amid
the Tangle of Modern Expedients."
In speaking Of the conducts Of the
present and past he said:
Standards Of conduct change. And
1t is conduct that we are speaking
of in this sermon. There can. or
ought TO be. no change in the funda-
mental virtues There is no debate
as to the binding power of the 10
commandments. But standards Of
conduct change. We live i'm a diff
ferent world than did our grand
fathers, yes. different even than the
one our fathers knew do not mean
10 say that people as a whole were
any better then than now. But the
lines were more closely drawn and
the boundaries more plainly marked;
as IL is on the mission field today.
man is a Christian ora heather.
and there is a difference.
"A Christian was expected 10 take
"a very definite attitude toward
worldly pleasures of all sorts. If he
were a Christian he would not in
dulge in the common pleasures that
were declared 10 be worldly. Mat
ters were so we'll defined and so
thoroughly understood that the
churches made these things the sub
jet matter for their articles of disci-
pine. But now all this is changed.
so much so that the churches that
included the worldly pleasures
among their causes for discipline find
IL hard 10 enforce the rule.
Now. I do not say that this is a
chance for the better. Far from il.
II would be better for our peace if
there was a fixed standard Some
mighty good Christian character was
developed under the old regime. II
certainly would be easier TO deter
mine our course Of conduct. But
since such is nQ longer the case. it
throws the responsibility upon us 10
think and choose for ourselves and
trust ourselves 10 our own resources.
Perhaps this is a gain. We must
ind the right road. There are three
Things 10 help us-the teaching OF
him who walked the highway OF
God. He knew the right road and
took il: the example OF those who
are IN good repute among Us: and
the effect of the wrong courses OF
conduct on those who have chosen
the wrong way"
