~ HRISTIAN benevolence-alms-
giving-is the lesson inculca-
~ ted In today's Study. A Sc
we're famine had prevailed In
the vicinity Of Jerusalem, and appar-
emily the saints at Jerusalem were
poorer than were those at Corinth.
Therefore 1t was appropriate for St
Paul to suggest to the latter the pro-
priety Of sending a gift to the former.
Living In a time when conveniences
for transferring money were very In
ferior. the various congregations could
send their gifts only by the Apostle
when he should go to Jerusalem.
The question naturally arises, Why
should the Gospel attract the well-to-
do classes In Asia Minor and Greece,
and repel that same class In Judea
The answer would seem to be that
amongst the Jews religious pride had
developed. especially amongst the
wealthy and learned. Because their re-
ligious system was In advance Of every
other religious system In the world.
the learned attributed like superior
ity to themselves individually. duke
1897 This was the secret Of Israels
blindness to the Gospel. The religious
leaders and theologians were so self
conscious, and relied so implicitly upon
their interpretations Of the Divine
promises as centering In themselves,
that they could not regard the humble
Nazarene and His unlearned followers
except as impostOrs.
Later, when the Gospel began to be
preached to the Gentiles the opposi-
ton Of the Jewish theologians was in
creased; for 1t was utterly contrary
to their every thought that God would
accept either the humble Jews or the
Gentiles, and reject the leading repre-
sentatives Of Israel John 7:43-53)
Amongst the Gentiles, however, the
case was very different While the H.

more reasonable than their own. To
mend itself rs being the real explana-
ton of the Jewish doctrines and their
grand outcome, the meaning Of which
had long been hidden.
Benefits of Systematic Charity.
The opening verses of today's Study
intimate that st. Paul's suggestion to
the Corinthian Church nearly a year
before had been well received, and the
collection zealously entered upon. In
his previous letter to them he had sug-
gested methodical charity. Il Corin-
thians 1871, p 1t was his experience,
as 1t is the experience Of all thoughtful
people, that systematic charity is bet
ter than spasmodic almsgiving. Not
only Is the result generally larger, but
the influence upon the glver Is better;
for 1t keeps before the mind an object.
a service to be rendered to the Lord.
Therefore the Apostles felt very free
to recommend to the Church the grace
of giving and even to press upon them
the fact that their liberality, in pro-
portion to their ability, would largely
be an index Of their love for the Lord.
But we note, in contrast, that st. Paul
did not ask aims of these believers
when first they received the Lords
grace, lest they should get the impress
sion that the Gospel was being preach
ed from mercenary motives.
Now he was absent from them, and
felt free to draw to their attention the
great blessing which would result from
llberality In the Lords Cause In pro-
portion to their ability and their love.
To impress the matter, he gave para

that she was rightly named, "the
Georgia Cyclone"
Michigan has gone dry and Indi-
ana will have to go dry in self de-
fense," said Mrs. Armor. IF Indiana
doesn't go dry In a hurry 1t will be
dumping ground for all the Michi-
gan wet men,
If the north doesn't go dry within
the next two years, never want to
hear you brag that you freed the
slaves
'The South is dry but the North
hesitates because it is going to cost
something
when the North freed the slaves in
the South, did it stop to consider that
it was going to cost the South some
thing? Every Southerner is glad to-
day that the slaves are freed and that
their country is freed from the curse
of slavery. So are they glad that it
is freed from the curse of drink.
Liquor Men in Hiding.
Liquor men are hiding under the
pretense that governments could not
get along without the revenue from
liquor. Over half of the states in the
union are demonstrating that this Is
a falsehOOd.
License money is hush money. II
the liquor business is not wrong, it
has been badly mistreated because Of
the legal limitations which have been
placed on it.
America must go dry before the
war closes. At the end of the great
European struggle, this country will
very likely become dumping ground
for people who have forgotten that
there is a God. We must bring them
back to the right way of living. If
the nation is not dry before that
time, their votes could keep it from
going So"

Mrs. Armor was brought to Rich

There will be no use for the kind
Of alcohol that the breweries are now
putting out because It will only be

Aibition amendment will be added to
the constitution. The coal supply will
soon be a thing Of the past. We have
wasted our natural resources fright
fully. Denatured alcohol will take its
place as fuel. Gasoline will also
soon be thing of the past. Wood
alcohol can be used in place Of gaso-
line to run motors.

with but slight changes, breweries
can manufacture the denatured alco-
hol and there will be plenty Of raw
material as long as grass grows and
water runs"
Mrs. Armor was introduced by Tim
othy Nicholson, known throughout the
country as dry worker.
Thank God, Indiana has elected a
dry governor, and it may be possible
with him in the chair to put state

lea He signed the measure at the Execu-
tive Offices In the presence Of James Z.

the organization, and a group of other
officers and members OF the Boy Scouts
Mr.. West declared enthusiastically, as
he shook hands with the President after
the measure was signed, that the Con-
gress and you have done a splendid thing
for the boys of our country in making
a law the bill Incorporating the Boy
Scouts OF America"
Before he left the White House Mr..
West gave out a statement setting forth
his ideas as to the important place which
the Boy Scouts occupy in the national
preparedness movement. Here are ex-
cerpts from the address:
There is no single agency in America
today doing as much for the cause Of
preparedness as the Boy Scout movement;
that is, real preparedness by making men
physically At and efficient, through q
wholesome program Of outdoor activities.
There are today 1s2so boys registered
in good standing as members OF the Boy
Scouts OF America, with about 5000 man
registered as leaders, s,lT serving a.
scoutma sters, and 8, ,459 as assistant scout
master. This group OF ZS,ss2 men and
boys Is larger than our combined army
ana ndNy-aInost as ldrse as tHe pIoposeo

a definite program under the motto, BE
Prepared" and are all committed to the
scouts obligation to do his duty to God
and his country, to obey the scout law.
TO help other people at all time, and to
keep himself physically strong, mentally
awake, and morally straight.
While our program includes much that
Is given TO the men at Plattsburg yet

ing for the simple reason that the things
which are included are considered to be
more fundamental in securing desired re-
suits in the training OF boys in the teen
age. Emphasis is placed upon physical
