of the war or before. If the loans
are renewed after that period, they
will bear three per cent interest.
Besides financing the government,
the bank has protected the exporters
unable to realize on their foreign
credits at the outset of the war by
buying up their drafts to the amount
of 500 million francs, and furnished
guarantees for an English loan of
five million pounds to Partisan
bank and for an American loan for
$20,OO0000. 1t has at the same time

you have the opportunity of hearing
such man. l would be glad if every
man, woman and child would avail
themselves of this opportunity and

How to Reap Gods Promises.
(By Thomas IIines)

All the promises of God that are
made to man are made on conditions.
And not one of them can be reached
without first complying with these
conditions, and these conditions are
for the purpose of proving our faith,
and they are to faith what the bal
ances are to the merchant. The bal.
ances show when you get your mon
ey's worth and so these conditions
show when we believe. If we fail to
comply with these conditions, our
faith is counted as unbelief. And
that is why it is said that What
soever is not of faith is a sin" Sin
is failure to do Gods great and
good will. Therefore no one can
serve God who do not use his faith
and faith is only used when we obey
the word of God. There are many
great and precious promises made
unto man, but only on conditions. In
fact, all things that help to sustain
life, and make it full of JOY and peace
may be had by the use of our faith.
Christ has said: "These things have
| spoken unto you that my joy might
remain in you and that your Joy might
be full" st. John 1911. All things
may be had by the proper use of our
faith. Let me illustrate: Here is
wagon so great in strength that it
cannot be broken down and here is
horse just as great. Now, faith
is your wagon and Christ is your
horse, but works is your harness,
which you must make for yourself.
Now, as faith without works is
dead" even so is a wagon without
harness, and your wagon is of no
service to you unless you have some
harness. In / Cor. 1872, we read:
And though | have all faith so that
| could remove mountains and have
not charity, | am nothing" Charity
is your harness and must be com
piled with in order to use your wagon.
Charity is the work Of faith and
without it faith is dead. Christ has
said IF We abide in me and my
words abide in you, ye shall ask what
ye will, and it shall be done unto
you" st. John 15-7. TO abide in
Christ is to stick to charity. Charity
it is said never faileth. Therefore
charity is full set of harness, which
must go with the horse and wagon.
We so often see the Christian with
his wagon well loaded and himself in
the seat and the horse in the shafts,
but has no harness at all for the
horse We see him on his knees try
to make the horse pull.

Indicates Railway Extensions.

The Ardmore Railway company has
begun the construction of car barns
at a point on the line north of the
city, where the tool house burned
some weeks ago. When completed
the building will have a capacity to
care for as many as fifteen cars,
which indicates that some extensions
will be made. The company has also
made the purchase of crossties and
will begin work within a short time
to repair its line, and when that
work is completed the cars will be
put in operation. The company does
not know just when material will ar
rive, and for that reason does not
know when the line will be ready
for operation.

And Jesus answering said, A certain
man went down from Jerusalem TO
Jericho, and fell among thieves,
which stripped him of his raiment,
and wounded him, and departed, leav-
ing him half dead.
And by chance there came down a
certain priest that way; and when
he saw him, he passed by on the
other side.
And likewise a Levite, when he was
at the place, came and looked on him,
and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Samaritan, as ne
journeyed, came where he was: and
when he saw him, he had compass
sion on him,
And went to him, and bound up his
wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and
set him on his own beast, and
brought him to an inn, and took care
of him.
And on the morrow when he depart
ed, he took out two pence, and gave
them to the host, and said unto him,
Take care of him; and whatsoever
thou spendest more, when | come
again, | will repay thee.
Which now of these three thinkest
thou was neiphbnr INTO him that
fell among the thieves?
And he said, He that showed mercy
on him. Then said Jesus unto him,
Go, and do thou likewise.

ADAMSON BILL MAY PASS
DURING PRESENT CONGRESS

Washington, May 20.-With federal
good roads legislation disposed of
and the senate and house measures
in the hands of the conferees, the
American Automobile association will
now devote itself in an effort to Sc
cure the passage of the Adamson bill
before the conclusion of the present
congress.
Nearly three million users of auto
mobiles have an interest in the
Adamson open-door policy, which
briefly gives the self-propelled vehicle
the same interstate rights as are now
possessed by horse-drawn wagons
and carriages; in fact, it would make
countrywide the present New York
state reciprocity. New York offers
the owners of motor cars of other
states reciprocity, for whatever period
that state will give to New York
state owner, which means one day or
the entire 365 days of the year.
Representative W. C. Adamson, who
is the father of the open-door meas
ure is the chairman of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, and when he introduced |
his bill year ago it was without
consultation with any organization |
The Georgia congressman simply put
forward his idea as a common sense
solution of the diversified and con-
fiicting periods of reciprocity among
the states, in addition to a belief that
It was discrimination to forbid the |
self-propelled vehicle to exercise the |
same rights on the road possessed |
by muscle-drawn vehicles.
While it would appear a difficult |
matter to get such an important piece |
of legislation passed at the present |
time in a congress which is crowded |
with the necessity of doing many |
things, the A. A. A. has secured such !
a generous promise of support from |
so many national legislators that it |
is not improbable that there would |
be a minimum of discussion and a
quick agreement that the automobile
was now entitled to the freedom of
the highways in interstate passenger
and freight transportation.
