NEWS OF THE DAY.

Knocked down and crushed in
front of her home by an automobile

ton hotel man, died on her way to

about 6 o'clock yesterday evening.

road to her home near Chain Bridge

council, recorder and treasurer.
The British foreign Office has is
sued a: statement to the effect that
there is reason to believe that press
messages do not give an accurate
picture of the actual situation. at
Athens, both because the roya!lsts
have succeeded in regaining control
of the cable and press censorship,
and because the allied press cores
pondents in Athens are living under
threats of personal violence, in COM
mon with. all those suspected of Ven

! Following the example Of Eng
land, changes of moment can be fore
seen also in France. In fact, the COM
ing to a head of the English situa-
ton has only FASTENED in France de-
lvelopments which were before prac-
tically certain. The secret session OF
the chamber of deputies, at which
the demands of the French KNOCK
out" group are being urged, has now
almost reached it's end. 1t probably
would have lasted several days longer
and there is little reason to doubt
that the result would have been the
same, but after the English action
further discussion has become prac'
tically impossible.

THE GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM
THE SHEPHERD PSALM
SCRIPTURE READING AND EXPOSITION

After the usual Introductory exercises which included
the reading by the General Overseer of the Twenty
Psalm he addressed the congregation as follows
The Twenythird Psalm doubt the favorte portion
of the Inspired Record of larger number of Bible students
than is any other portion of the Scriptures.
1t consists of hundred and nineteen words, ninety
of which monosylabes very striking illustration
of the remarkable simplicity of the Word of God.
John :16 is another illustration of the kind.
The subimest thoughts expressed in the simplest
language indeed, who is thinker and who has
thing really worth saying always simple language.
The Twenty-thrd Psalm has outlved vast quantities
of other literature God inspired it, and expresses
Of the rich experiences of the writer.
Productions that born merely of the intellect very
quickly die but when born of both intellect and heart they
live.
Hundreds of hymns are written that are seldom, if
ever sung and doubt many hymns have been written
that have been by the author and few
intimate friends.
THE POWER OF HYMNS BORN OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE
"Jesus, Lover of My Sou' has lived because it was
born of human experience Blest Be the Tie that Binds
Our Hearts in Christian Love- has lived for the
and also God Be With You Till We Meet Again"
Men who can speak from experience usually say some
thing that lives and that proves to be very helpful to
humanity.
The TWenty-thrd Psalm is fresh today as if it had
been written only yesterday and although has lived for
thousands of years, today it is of edicaton en-
couragement and great blessing mankind in all parts of
the world
1t has been translated into many languages it has
furnished inspiration for it has set poets to
thinking and presume that in the aggregate hundreds of
pages have been written by way of comment.

and let go with you through the day-whch trust will

"The Lord is my Shepherd; shall not want.
"He maketh to lie down in green pastures:
"He leadeth me beside the still waters.
"He restoreth my soul:
"He eadeth in the paths of righteousness for His
Names sake
"Yea though walk through the Valley of the Shadow

Surey goodness and mercy shall follow all the days

JESUS LAST CELEBRATION OF THE PASSOVER FEAST
In order that you may understand the Scriptures that
have quoted will you turn to the Gospel according
to Matthew and consider in the Twentsxh Chapter the
seventeenth verse; Where wilt Thou that we prepare for
Thee to eat the Passover?
The Apostes who loved Jesus dearly, little realized
the meaning of the awful coming events which casting
their shadows thicky around them
They had not been able to understand the Words OF
Jesus the Christ that they would go up to Jerusalem
and that He would be delivered into the hands of wicked
men and be shameuy treatedbe spit upon scourged and
crowned in mockery.
During His short earthly career, Jesus had partaken
If MANY Passover Feasts How long before He realized

ha tho Lamb do not know That God did conceal from Him.
mill Tho nroner time some things connected with His mis-
sion is quite probable
The wheels of time have been going around, and the
dav approaching for the regular Passover Feast but in
that Jesus could not participate, for He could not be the
Lamb that was slain and parake of the regular Passover
So when the Apostles approached Him and asked,
sWhere wilt Thou that shall prepare for Thee to eat
the Passover" they did not understand This
Thursday night that Jesus the Christ anticipatory

The Potent Comma.

There's a little punctuation mark
called comma, which, when 1t 1t s0wD
in the printed sheet, is almost the small
est and most Insignificant OF all the
marks that are seen there, but when 1t
acco omplishes It's unintended purpose 1t
becomes q great power, SO that eminent
men may build their reputation upon the
brsnchIngs of 1t. 1t is one Of the most
abused Of symbols, both by sins of com,
mission and omission, and there exists
regarding II vast amount of lack
Of Information, as 10 also the case with
most other punctuation marks. Any
editor or copy handler can testify that
many people who write clear, forcible
and even besutiful English know very
little regarding the use OF the comma,
not to mention It's allies In the field of
punctuation.
Frinstance, here is the opening Of q
paragraph In newspaper Of recent date;
At the recent dinner 70 William n. Crane. the

Whatever the paragraph was intended
to say, what It actually does say 10 that
the disting uished American actor, George
Ade, made certain remarks ct q dinner
to william r., Crane. - Knowing the par
