THE UNPOPULAR GOD AND
HIS UNPOPULAR CHURCH

organization in the earth that has ever
been known to reform itself. and when
its life Is lowest and least to be approx
ed, II remains still the one institution
upon which mankind may rely for the
highest and most Indispensable things.
II the Church could be destroyed, the
last ray of hope for the human race
would be extinguished. and darkness
WOULD cover the earth. If the Church
should totter and fall. the social sys-
TEN would crumble and all forms OF
government would be shaken from their
foundations.
The men Of the world do not often
think of the benefits which they derive
from the Church while they opposite II.
Even their material interests rest upon
the fact of the Church's life. For ex-
ample. let us inquire what would real
estate be- worth in Atlanta, or in any
ether American city, If the Churches
were abandoned and pulled down? What
material prosperity could prevail In =
Sabbathless and Churchless land, in
which the gospel was no more heard,
and christianity had ceased to exist?
How long would THERE be readers for
books and papers, in which the Church is
ensured. II the Church were destroyed?
Could civilization, as we know II, exist
at all without the christian bodies which
make up the Church OF God?
A decent respect for the source from
which the censors OF the Church derive
the best things in their lives should re-
strain them from acrimonious and I'M
reasonable criticisms of the Church.
Common gratitude suggests that men
should not strike the hand that helps
them.

TaE wONDERS OF ALASKA
We have a general idea that Alaska is
too near the frigid zone to be habitable,
but the residents raise any amount or
vegetables, which mature quickly. From
July TO October they plant peas, pota-
toes. lettuce, turnips, radishes, carrots,
onions, cabbage, beets, celery and cauli-
flower. One-sixth of an acre, has been
known to produce eighty bushels Of
good potatoes.
The salmon canneries of Alaska repre-
sent an investment OF over 100000
Fish are so plentiful that they are fed
TO dogs. But IL is the gold output which
makes the attraction in the Alaskan
country.
Gold is so plentiful that dozens Of
stamp mills are found along in the gold
producing section. Millions upon mill
lions OF gold are brought out-into the
United States-year after year. The
great gold belt reaches into the British
possessions, along the great water
courses. II is said that the gold mug
gets, big and little are found in the
smaller creeks and along the banks OF
greater streams. Whenever there is a
depression, the gold being heavier than

Alaska as your geography books will
tell you belonged to Russia. The dis
lance from Russia is short compared
with any other foreign country. 1t is
often said that the first foreigners on
the western continent came over at
Behring straits. which separate China
from the western continent When the
Civil war was on, England and France
were at one time friendly TO the Confed-
eracy. The Lincoln government courted
the assistance OF Russia and IL resulted
in a proposition 70 sell Alaska TO the
United States
The purchase price was 100000 and
considered at the time, most extrava-
CANT, nevertheless Alaska has paid for
herself many times. The United states
government Is constructing a railroad
over there. expecting 1t to cost $35,O00.-

Alaska have astonished the scientists
and tourists of the world.

was in Lois character to do everything
passionately She realized that Lois had
always been Lois, and that her fault

she accused herself of cruelty in de-

Gloria ran as fast as she could, her
heart beating till she was ready to fall
down with the pain Of it. She was about

a last look at the beautiful earth she
was about to leave, stumbled and went
to her knees.
She rose at once and sped on, but
Gloria had been enabled to gain on her,
and to overtake her at the very edge
OF the ravine. With loving ruthlessness
Gloria flung herself on Lois and dragged
her back.
lois fought with insane ferocity. tear

again and again. Lois carried her back

wrestled. Gloria had now her own life
to fight for as well as Lois, for at any
moment both women might go hurting

NEW LONDON, Conn, Nov 1s- The sailing of the German merchant submarine Deutschland for Bremen will not be delayed by the action brought against it by the T A. Scott company today for the loss of the tug Thomas A. Scott. Jr., which was sunk by the Deutschland early yesterday off Race Rock light, with the loss of its crew of five, according to statement tonight by Henry c. Hilken. president of the Eastern Forwarding Company Ameri- can agents of the underwater line.
 Today the Scott Company libelled the Deutschland for s12,000 for the loss of the tug. President Hilken said that steps had been taken to furnish bonds to. meet the amount of the suit, which would permit the submarine to leave for home as soon as repairs on il had beesi completed. The suit Mr Hilken said was a friendly one and had been brought by the Scott Company as a matter of self protection.

BERLIN, Nov. IS. (Wireless to Say ville)-"The effects of General von Fall kenhayns unrelenting pressure upon the outlets from the Predeal. Torzber- ger and Rothenthurm passes now are making themselves felt in neighboring sectors, namely. in the northern Ru- manian and Midlothian Carpa thians,v . writes the military critic of the Over seas News Agency.
 After the failure of their offensive in the Predeal area, the Rumanians were compelled to confine themselves to the defensive, but the demands Of even this form of warfare are now all most too much to be supplied by the forces at their command. The Ruman- ian lines are being continuously drawn back in the center, near Predeal and Campulung and south of Rothenthurm pass. They are endeavoring to offset this menace by attacks in nearby sec tors of the front. At the beginning the attacks for this purpose were launched at the west of the principal passes and in the vicinity of the hard pressed center as in the BooZa valley to the east of the center and in the Jiul valley, to the west. In the former valley conditions caused the fighting to be confined to guerilla warfare while in the Jiul valley the Germans who at the beginning confined them selves to the defensive, have since No vember been on the offensive their advance being crowned on November IA with the capture of Buzesti.

CH|CACO GRAIN MEN RESENT
 CHARGE THEY FORCE UP PRICES

"The majority of government crop reporters are not farmers at all," he said. They are postmasters. county agents and bankers, who are in a po- sition to find out conditions in the ter ritory, they cover. l know these re- porters are not 25 per cent dishonest. and that the government; aims to get at the truth when making reports.
 Tt is absurd and preposterous to say that there is any concerted action among farmers, either honest or dis honest. that governs the movement of their grain or making up the crop re- ports.
 Furthermore the millers, warehouse men and exporters that are real deal CTS in cash wheat pay little attention to government reports. They buy their requirements from day to day and bid high enough to get them. The advance from sl to s2 for wheat has brought out the grain. The speculators may influence the price within a few cents either way, but the real cause of the high price of wheat Is simply a world shortage of wheat in the first place. and a lack of available cars in the second place."
