Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression
How we're these burdensOme store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and a quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for it. Write for it now. H. G. HASTINGS

thus be stuuled with the utmost thor
oughness and the streets laid out so
that access tobthe different parts Of
the city may be had from all the 9TH
er parts in the most direct manner
possible.
In order to afford ample facilities
for traffic and at the same time to
avoid unnecessary OUTLAWS streets In
varying widths should be provided.
1t will usually be found that streets
of three different widths will suffice
for practically all purposes; that is to
say, main thoroughfares, secondary
thoroughfares and local streets
AS rule it is better to err on the
side of having streets too wide than
too narrow. A city should have as a
minimum 20 per cent Of its area de-
voted to streets, while 40 per cent is
far better allowance. The streets
of the city Of Washington, which are
unusually wide and imposing, occupy
81 per cent of the city's total area.
A Prussian law of 1875. enacted to
cover the streets Of Berlin, prescribed
that the main streets should be nine
ty-five feet or more in width. second
airy thoroughfares from sixty-fve to.
ninety-five feet and the local streets
from forty to sixty-five feet. Another
standard for secondary German cities.
such as Dusseldorf, Cologne, Frank
fort and Danzig, is: Main thorough.
fares IS to 100 feet, secondary thor
oughfares SO to 80 feet and local
streets IS to 48 feet.

1t is written of Stephen that he was
a man full of faith and of the Holy
Ghost, full of faith and power; that
he did great wonders and miracles
among the people, and they were not
able to resist the wisdom and the
spirit by which he spake verses 5, s,
10); also that by the word of God the
number Of the disciples in Jerusalem
multiplied greatly, and great com
pany of the priests were obedient to
the faith (verse y. In chapter V, "a,
we heard the high priest and others
wondering where unto this movement
would grow. and we still see it grow
ing even unto this our day, but 1t does
look as If we had now come almost to
the completion Of the growth Of His
body, the church. The one thing to
do is to be full Of faith and the power
OF the Spirit and faithfully and fear
essly witness unto Him and His sal
walton and His coming again until we
are called out of the body or up in the
air to meet Him. The power of Stephen
in overcoming those who disputed with
him verse 10J was in accordance with
our Lords assurance in Luke xxi, 10,
Il will give you mouth and wisdom
which all your adversaries shall not be
able to gainsay nor resist
This and similar assurances, such as
Ex. iv, u; Jer. i, 70; John xiv, 10, IA;
XIV, I, are all for us today if we will
stand for Him as Stephen did, for His
eyes are still looking for hearts that
are whole toward Him, that He may
hold strongly with them I'll Chron.
xvi, 8, margin) If we stand for Him
and with Him, as Peter and John and
Stephen did, we must expect to know
something Of the hatred Of the adver-
sary as they did, for we cannot know
the power Of His resurrection without
knowing also the fellowship Of His
sufferings phil. ill. 1O,. Those who
could not gainsay nor resist the truth
Of God in the power of the Spirit by
the mouth of Stephen could hire men
to falsely accuse Stephen and make
him out liar and dangerous man to
be about
That is one Of the wiles of the devil
which he has practiced so long that
he is very skillful in it. He tried 1t
even upon our Lord Himself, and we
cannot hope to escape, for as the Lord
Jesus was prosecuted, so must His fol-
lowers expect to be John Ky, 20). To
these false accusations before the
council we do not read that Stephen
made any reply verses 11-1A. Like
David and like the Lord Jesus, he was
dumb before them FPS. xxxviii, 49,;

keep his mouth and his tongue at such

Although Stephen was outwardly in
the presence of the council. his heart
was in the presence of God. and it was
seen in his face verse 49, God was
watching over His word and blessing

ing great company OF the priests.

GOOD DEED IN NAUGHTY
WORLD.

There was man in our town, and
he was wondrous rich;
He gave away his millions to the
colleges and SIGH,
And people cried: The hypocrite!
He ought 70 understand
. The ones who really need him are
. the children Of this land"
When Andrew Croesus built home
for children who were sick
The people said they rather thought
he did it as trick,
And writers said, HE thinks about
the dropping girls and boys,
. But what about conditions with the
men whom he employs?'
. There was q man in our town who
said that he would share
. His profits with his laborers. for
that was only fair,
And people said: .Oh, isn't he the
shrewd and foxy gent?
1t cost him next to nothing for that
free advertisement"
There was man in our town who
had the perfect plan
To do away with poverty and other
ills of man,
But he feared the public jeerins and
the folks who would defame
him,
So he never told the plan he had,
and can hardly blame him.

Lesson IX.-First Quarter, For
Feb. 27, 1916.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.

Text of the Lesson, Acts vi, 1-7-Mem-
CRY Verses, 2, 3-GoIden Text, Gal. vi,
2-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D..
NJ. Stearns.
Increase of numbers, even in or
binary church membership, does not
always tend to increase or even con-
tInuance Of peace, especially if 1t
means pleasing more people, as is
often the case, though it should not be
so. Pleasing people is not the business
Of the preacher or the session or the
vestry or the committee; not pleasing
men, but God, like the apostles in the
last lesson. In our lesson, while the
number of the disciples was multiplied
troubles multiplied also, for some were
neglected or felt that they were in
the dlily ministration. Today some
people are not happy if they think the
pastor seems to neglect them in his
pastoral calls or in not noticing them
after church or on the street, and no
committee can rectify This.
The twelve decided, wisely or I'M
wisely, certainly for their own com
fort, that they could not attend to this
business of serving tables, but must
continue to give themselves to prayer
and Bible study and teaching the
Word. When compared with some
other lines Of service that Of prayer
and teaching would be to many de-
nghtful preference, but ordinary serv-
ice must be attended to also and often
requires more grace. The preachers
wife may need more grace and pa
thence for he housekeeping than he
does for the preaching, but any kind
of service needs a special amounting Of
the Holy Spirit.
A committee Of seven Spirit filed
men of honest report was chosen for
this special ministry, the first two Of
whom we shall become better &C.
duainted with as we go on in our
studies. Stephen, the first Of the sew
en-, occupies the prominent place in
this chapter and the next, while Philip
is the most prominent in chapter viii
We do not hear Of Peter again until
chapter viii, IA, and that is the last
mention of John in the Acts except in
xii, 2. where he is mentioned as the
brother,of James, who was killed with
the sword. It is possible that some
others may have wished that they had
been among those chosen as apostles,
but here are two Of seven seemingly
ordinary men honored above some Of
the apostles 1t is well to remember
that the Spirit gives to eyery one sever

A WIDE STREET IN DANzIG, GERMANY.
breaks exist the appearance OF the
street is spoiled, and unless the
breaks are repaired Its appearance is
Aever as good as before.
The point Of view Of the average
American toward the streets is large
ly responsible for the bad conditions
which almost invariably prevail.
The American seems to regard streets
as a sort Of necessary evil and their
repair as more or less superfuous
expense. He seems to feel that as
only one vehicle at time passes over
a hole little care on the part of the
driver would save the city the ex-
pense Of the repairs.
Americans have in reality little or
no conception Of the condition in
which street should be maintained
until they have seen the remarkably
smooth and clean streets Of Euro
pean cities. Their excellence, which
might easily be rivaled by American
streets, is due to the thorough meth
DDS Of construction and the high de-
gree Of engineering skill retained.
In a city the arrangement of high
ways must be such that the citizens
who traverse them in great numbers
may be enabled to reach their desti-
nations with the greatest possible
dispatch, for a large part of the time
Of the public is consumed in merely
going from place to place. The daily
movements Of the population should

BETTER SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
WILL GROW OUT OF WORLDWIDE WAR

by Robert Bacon, former Secretary of Stat. and Ambassador to France]
From day to day the press reports that international. law has been
violated. Thoughtless people assert that international law has gone by
the board, and e statesmen ask themselves whether there really is an
international law, or whether it will survive the lawlessness which the
war seemed to engender. What role a The Hague conferences hope
to play when their work has been thrown to the winds? What is to
be the outcome OF it all?
Perhaps the wisest way to answer there's questions and to overcom
these doubts and misgivings of the future is not to appeal merely % the
reason of the thing, but to invoke history. If we lei asked to pick
out the periods OF greatest lawlessness in modern times, we undoubtedly
would select the Thirty Years w and the wars of the French revolution
and empire. To a spectator OF the Thirty Years war;, which devastated
Europe, particularly Germany, from 1913 to 1913 when the congress OF
Westphalia not only concluded peace, but laid the foundation of modern
international relations, it would have seemed that law and order had been
thrown to the winds and that anarchy had taken undSputed possession
of the continent of Europe, which then "a almost synonymous and CO.
extensive with civilization and the world.
have thought it best to answer the question whether international
Jaw al survive the violations of the present a by showing that inter-
national law has survived ven greater violations extended through a
longer period of years. What has happened not only once, but over and
over again, is bound to happen in the future; and just as the steady de-
velopment Of international law has received a great impetus by a catas-
trophc which a thought to have buried it under its ruins, we are JUS
tilted in the belief that after this var there WIN be a greater, a more ade-
quate and a nobler system Of international aw a a consequence of a
desire existing in every quarter Of the world to perfect the law OF
nations so that it may be a safe and sure guide for the conduct of nations,
conduct for the peoples thereof.

A NATION OF 1o2, s26, 800

The wars are costing the United States in this decade 100000 in
immigrants, yet we are gaining in numbers somewhat faster than in the
last decade; or % the census bureau estimate of population for January
I. 1917, would indicate. 1t is 1O2826,3Oe, or, including the islands,
l3,O92s5. 81
The end of the year completes twothirds of the decade and shows
a gain of not quite 100000 A total of lO8OOOOOO Or more may be
expected in 1920. If peace had continued, a gain of nearly 2OOOoO
would not have been impossible.
To New York the census bureau assigns for six and two-hirds years
more than twice the gain the state census allowed for five years; It is
doubtless nearer the truth. BY 1920 the Empire state should reach H.
100000. AT. the present rate Pennsylvania should increase $4,000 In
ter years, California 100000, Texas 864WO Illinois $4,000. California
The Emperor Claudius took a 4 census of 6945OO0 Romans-men only.
That may have meal in all 100000 citizens. Gibbon thought slaves
and provincals minght have made an empire total of 11OOOOOOO. but it
was a generous guess. The British, Chinese and Russian empires now
surpass the United States in total numbers; none equals it in the number
of educated and energetic whites-unless W count as a single power the
vast Germans system which reaches from Antwerp to Bagdad under
