TELLS OF PREHISTORIC EGYPT
lecturer at the British Museum De
scribes Face PANT Found In
Ancient Graves.

Mr.. Handbook has just delivered a
lecture on prehistoric Egypt at the
British museum, the first OF q course
OF four lectures.
After detailed discussion OF the
dynastlc Egyptians on the one hand
and the prehistoric aborignes on the
other, in the course of which he
showed large number OF ivory, slate,
bone ard clay fgurines recovered
from early Egyptian graves, together
with number OF skulls, he proceeded
to examine some early ceremonial
Slate palettes, which are illustrative
OF the fauna of the country at that
period, as well as OF the artists skin
These palettes were used for toilet
purposes the malachite which was
used for face paint being ground upon
them, and It is interesting to note that
traces OF paint are still visible on
some OF them.
They are OF further Importance in,
asnuch as they illustrate pictorially
The traditional conquest OF the North
by the South prior to the unihcation
Of all Egypt under ore monarch, the
legendary Mona, one whose histori-
cal eounterparts would appear to have
been Aha-Men.
The early predyrastIc Egyptians
were Neolithic, and the fints OF their
workmanship are the finest wrought
hnts in the world. but later on copper
cane unto use.
The Semitic element in the Egyptian
language proves co1clusively that
there was & Semitic element In the
elcci Of the dynastic Egyptians, but
this fact does not seem to have much
bearing or the connection between
the early Egyptian aid Babylonlan
civilization as illustrated by the use
OF cylinder seals and similar shaped
mace heads in both countries in the
very earliest times, for at the period
in question the Sumerians and not the
Semites were IN all probability the
ruliag factors IN Babylonian ciyiliza-
ton. Mr.. Handbook concluded his lee
ture with some remarks OF the paint,
iags IN early Egyptian pottery, which
showed that they knew how to build
ard navigate sailing beats as well as
rowing boats from the earliest times.

Religion and Life

Spiritual work is as wide as
human activity, The tendency
to make religion a department Of
life instead of the Christian
synonym for the whole Of Iife,
has given rise TO such a refund
ancy as applied christianity
The life of common activities, So
cial and industrial, is as truly the
sphere Of religion as the sane
tuary. The natural is not the
antitheSiS but the foundation of
the spiritual. First that which
is natural and afterward that
which is spiritual by tranSforma-
ton, not by substitution. The
Resurrection of Christ is a par
able as we'll as fact. And it is
for the layuan whether he be
thinker IN his study on the labor
er IN lis ditch II exercise his
priesthood IN the sphere Of his
occupation lifting to GOO for
His transforming touch each
transaction IN which he is en-
gagged recognizing that all lie Is
divine, and all business God
business 1t is for the layman
TO enter lnto the bent Of his age
and TRAN il to God not holding
aIoof from popular movements
and ambitions, but laying hold
of them and laboring for their
conversion and sanctification.
Thus will the natural become the
spiritual. The witness that the
world Of today is most in need Of
is that which will testify that if
God is the God Of the superna-
tural and extraordinary just as
really is he the God of the natur-
al and ordinary, revealing Him
self through and using common
things as the general rule, turn
ing to what is uncommon as the
exception. Who can bear this
witness 50 well as the layman in
the home and in the market?
Certain it is that until this is
done and theology has become
much more than now part Of the
web and wool Of common life
among common men, theological
assent or ecclesiastical unity will
accomplish but little toward uni
flying life in Chriatin any worthy
sense.
G. H. BRENT, Bishop Of the
PHILIPPINES.

Though Governor Craig's COM
mutation of sentence of death
passed upon Ida Ball Warren has
cheated the electric chair of its
just deserts, we do not believe
the Governor merits the harsh
criticism he is receiving in GER

North Carolina is for prohibi'
ton forever, we believe, by a
big majority, but nevertheless
we do not think the people of
North Carolina are going to be
in favor Of the crazy proposition
advanced by Rev. r. L. Davis of
the Anti-SaIoon League to pre-
VENT he circulation in North Car
DINA of newspapers and period
icals carrying liquor advertise
ments. The Herald as we'll as
the preponderant ajority of the
North Carolina press does not
accept liquor advertising of any
kind, so the proposed statute
would not affect US at all insofar
as the business office is concern
ed. The objection to the law
is that it will prevent the sale
in the State of newspapers and
periodicals of nationwide circu-
lation. Much of current litera-
ture well worth while would be
barred out from North Carolina
to serve no purpose at all except
that of pandering to SNUG hypo-
crisy.

Washington, D. c. Jan. IL
Inc failure of an Americas, Ca.
oank last year with consequent
trouble for depositors was respon-
sible for the introduction of a
drastic bill by Representative
Crisp providing severe punishment
for national bank officers or EN-.
ployes who accept deposits when
the banks are insolvent. Acceptance
of deposits under such conditions
is referred to as embezzlement in
the bill and both a fine and i'm
prlsonment are prescribed as pun
ishment, the fine not exceeding
$4,000 and Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding ten years.
Every officer or employee of a
bank who may be indicted under
the act, the bill says shall be pre-
sumed to possess such a knowledge
of the affairs of the corporation as
to have enabled him to determine
whether the corporation was SOL
vent or insolvent at the time of
receiving deposits. The bank is
required to produce all It's books
and records in court in the event
of an indictment under the act.

timore be carried out to the letter in
respect to rural credits.
z. That there be provision made for
an increase of the income tax. gradu-
Iated so as to meet the incomes of the
millionaires as they increase.
5, A policy toward the provision of
an adequate navy by sufficient increase
and betterment and increase of the
coast defenses, but against any mater
ial increase in the standing army of
the country.
4. Restrictions of immigration and
provision that will compel all immi-
grants coming to this country to de-
clare that they will within three

ton papers.

nal conditions of Mexico, or any other
foreign government, and attend to its
own affairs and devote itself to its own
development.
o. 10 demand strong declaration
In favor of the spirit which forbids
the sending or receiving of any ambas-
sador to or from any church organ
ization.
Z. 10 demand an investigation of
all appropriations made to sectarian
schools by the state.
g. To demand that the Gallivan

ing in Congress be killed.
=. To demand an extension of the
rural free delivery system and an inn
provement in the parcel post system.
40. To demand that the state furnish
free school books in the common
schools to be published and furnish
ed by the state and to eliminate all
connection with any book trust.
II. To tax all soft drinks and SINH
lar drinks sold in the state, the tax
to be diverted directly to the school
fund of the state.
II. To abolish the fee system for
all state officers and put them on a
salary basis, whatever the Office may
be.
