CALL FOR MILITIA
Is PARTLY A BLUFF

WASHINGTON. y. c.,

w WASN'T N0fl ON, -. C.,
June Rehabilitation of
the militia proceeded
throughout the country to-
day.
No orders dispatching the
militia to the border had
been announced at noon, and
many may never go.
Making them available is a
precaution against trouble
by calling Carranza's bluff,
with the idea of possibly
averting war.
The militia call is believ-
ed to be a real test Of pre-
paredness demands.
Reports from every state
indicate militiamen generally
are anxious to go to the bor-
der.
Chairmay Hay of the
house military committee,
announced he would ask un-
animous consent this alter
noon for the passage Of the
resolution permitting use of
militia on foreign soil.
If unanimous conest is not
granted, he will obtain
special rule to put the mat
ter through speedily.

LOGICAL STEPS

LOGICAL STEPS.
Edith Smith Dairs, worlds and ma,
tional w. C. T. U. superintendent of
scientific temperance instruction In
public schools and colleges, says:
THE truth concerning temperance has
been in q deep well for generations
and there have been many logical
steps that we have been forced to
take in order to reach the water of
truth. The first step is the scien-
tific investigation which has shown
the poisonous nature Of alcohol. The
second step demonstrates the effect
of the poison upon various organs of
the body. The third step makes clear
the fact that alcohol has special af-
finity for the brain and therefore af-
fects the moral character of man.
The fourth step has proven that q
drug that affects the organs of the
body and Injuries moral character must
render less efficient the user of 1t,
and, therefore, Its use becomes an
economic problem. The fifth step
places this experimental truth with
all Its resultant conclusions in q form
whereby the largest number of people
may be instructed, that is, In text
books containing scientific facts con-
corning alcohol. The sixth step is the
placing of the facts in the school cur
riculum and making the text books
and the scientific charts a part of
public temperance education. The
public school is the most democratic
institution In the world and Is more
than that; 1t is, as DR.. Newell D. Hills
says, the machine which takes In all
kinds Of material and grinds 1t out
made over into good American citi-
zens.' In this fact we sec the pos
sibility of our reaching the final step
to our goal"

ed to have an advantage In these de-
bates. Thus bitter feeling was aroused.
To the Jewish rulers this Message
respecting Jesus as the Messiah and a
Jewish responsibility for His death
and respecting Gods favor In raising
Him from the dead was a gross error.
which was likely to arouse a popular
spirit Of resentment against them
selves as rulers and to be subversive
Of all law and government In Pales-
tine. Indeed, these Christians claim
ed that because of this rejection Of
Jesus the Jewish nation had been re-
jected from Gods favor, and that dire
calamities were coming.
st. Stephens second battle was the
one which preceded his death. The
Sanhedrin, angry with him, suborned
witnesses-bribed men to make COM
plant, charging him with having bias
phemed, with having declared Moses
and the Law obsolete, with declaring
that the Temple was no longer Gods
Temple. These witnesses had put to-
gether certain isolated sayings of st.
Stephen which, thus patched up, made
the truth appear false. blasphemous.
ST. Stephens Defense.
After these paid witnesses had given
their testimony. charging b~lasphemy-
the penalty for which was stoning-
the Sanhedrin, with a show of fair
ness, permitted st. Stephen to reply.
This he did In a mastery way, by
taking up the thread of Jewish history,
showing his implicit faith in Gods
promises to Abraham. In orderly MAN.
ner he brought the thought of his
hearers down to the time Of Moses and
the giving of the Law. and reminded
them that Moses had said that in due
time God would raise up a greater
Prophet than he. deuteronomy 1918
49, This greater Prophet, he allowed
them to infer. was Jesus; and since
Moses had particularly referred to
Jesus thus as greater, it could mo- be
disloyalty to Moses to accept that
greater Prophet. Thus one feature of
the charge was oyerthrown.
AS for the Temple, be reminded his
hearers that God first established the
Tabernacle In the wilderness, and later
had provided the Temple in it's stead
1t was no disrespect to the Tabernacle
for them to believe in Solomon's Tenn
pie. God had now provided that a still
higher Temple should take the place OF
the building made with hands. The
higher Temple was spiritual, to be
composed of Gods people, who as liv
ing stones would be builded together
as a habitation Of God through the
Spirit. AS it was not biasphemy to
accept Solomon's Temple as instead OF
Moses Tabernacle, neither should it be
considered blasphemous to accept this
higher, spiritual Temple, of which
Jesus is the Foundation. as instead OF
the typical Temple of wood and stone.
So convincing were st. Stephens
words that his hearers realized that

many years he went back to his boy
hood home intending to tell the teach
