if any real preparedness were to be
achieved it would come through plan
to be outlined by the president, Again
the public mind was wrought up to a
high pitch of interest and the public
anxiously awaited the announcement
of his program.
Disappointment and criticism came
from all parts of the country when the
program was finally announced. The
plan was as unsatisfactory to the ad.
vocates of preparedness as to the op.
ponents. 1t was declared to be imprac.
ticable on the one hand, and unneces-
sary on the other. If the press agents
of the white house had expended their
energies in framing a satisfactory pol.
icy rather than attempting to picture
President Wilson as the only real
authority on the subject, some good
might have been accomplished, but in
placing publicity ahead of prepared
ness they did the administration more
harm than good.
Naturally democrats who are anxious
to see the party continued in power
are considerably disgusted with the
management Of publicity at the white
house.

FACTS REGARDING INCREASED
EARNINGS.

Gradually the real facts are leaking
out regarding the increase in railroad
earnings and the congestion Of freight
on the Atlantic seaboard. Increased
railroad earnings have been pointed
to as an evidence of permanent gener'
al prosperity. Here aNe some OF the
facts that account for thu increase:
Demand for vessels to carry war
supplies to Europe has caused large
portion of the ships formerly engaged
in coastwise trade to be withdrawn,
so that much freight that would nor.
mally go by water now goes by rail.
Slides in the Panama canal made it
necessary to ship coast-to-coast freight
overland. High water rates due to the
demand for transportation to Europe
made shipment around the Horn i'm
practicable.
Tho abnormally lafgc grain crops
produced because of the prospect OF
war prices gave the railroads large
ly increased traffic from the middle
west to Atlantic ports.
Increased freight rates have been
allowed by the interstate commerce
in certain territory.
1t will be observed that all these fac
tors except the slight increase in the
freight rates, depend upon the contin-
uance of the war and the oversee de-
mand for our products. 1t is difficult
to understand how any far.sighted bus
mess man can interpret increased rail
road earnings as sign of prosperity
any more permanent than the temper
lry and abnormal conditions in which
hey have their origin.

Feb. 27-The Seven Helpers. Acts
g.
The history of tho early christian
church still occupies our attention.
Happy days those, when people were
converted by the thousands, and the
fierce prosecutions had not begun.
There was such Joy over the new found
religion that many of the converts
placed their property at the disposal
of the rest of their number, and there
was community of interest. The rec
ord of this lesson tells us that even
many of the Jewish priesthood became
open converts to Jesus the Christ.
Those were great days. In view OF
what was soon to come the new rells-
ion needed strong start, however.
Early christians were like those to
follow, not perfect by any means, and
there came up certain things to ere
ate dissatisfaction and there were
problems tor Peter and the rest of the
ape stiles to deal with. We consider one
Of these today, AS was natural, the
leaders were looked to, to attend TO
all things of note connected with the
new movement. So the matter of fur
nishing the needed food for all who
were worthy came under the supervis-
ion of Peter and the other leaders.
There was cry that some were slight
ed in the distribution of the help, and
this came to Peters ears. He readily
saw that if he was to lead in the preach
inc nc could not be burdened with dis
putes over the food.
Our lesson head speaks of "seven
helpers" and here is where their serv-
ice came in. 1t was decided to pick
put this number Of men who were full
Of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, to have
charge of the caring for the needy OF
the christian band. Their names are
given in the text. One OF them was
to be the first christian martyr" the
sainted Stephen, and another Philip,
who made convert in the time, q
the Ethiopian and became one of the
first strong pastors of the churches
founded by Paul. These seven were
set apart for their Office by prayer and
laying on of hands, and the record
seems to bear out the thought that
they were faithful. Thus early were
the laymen recognized as part Of the
force Of tho church of Jesus

ed that as far back in the bible record
as Exodus 1921 provision was made
for the 1sraelites to be organized, with
elders or captains over thousands
hundreds, fifties and tens.
We spoke with pride last week of
the duty of helpfulness and brother.
hood which came as the result Of the
religions of Jesus. This is a distinc'
tive feature. We see that at the very
beginning there was thought for the
poor and there has been no change in
that policy from then until now. While
we may at times lament the degener.
acy of the church Of what is called the
dark ages" yet the record shows that
during them ali it was the church rep.
resenting the bible religion which out
of disinterested motives succored the
poor and encouraged gifts for charity.
The great Catholic church in our
day has led off in the establishment Of
hospitals, orphan asylums, homes OF
refuge and the setting apart OF a host
of orders of noble women who have
pledged themselves to have no other
aim in life but to care for the sick anu
unfortunate. The Protestants are fast
following in the same enterprises, and
thus wherever the banner OF the cross
is raised under its folds stand institu.
tons dedicated to the alienation OF
human suffering.
From the humble beginning OF "sev.
en- helpers" there has come into eN-
istence seventy times seven and ten
thousand more. Every church has gi.
gantic machinery and agents reach
ing the world around to help the poor,
sick and needy. These organizations,
many of them are marvels OF efficiency,
give evidence of the true brotherly'
helpful spirit which is brought to &C
tivity by the gospel OF the blessed
Jesus practically applied. 1t will be
remembered that Jesus when setting
forth the reasons for final reward to
those for whom He had the sentence
well done, said that in visiting those
in prison, feeding the needy, giving
shelter to the homeless, one was do.
ing these things for Him. "lnasmuch
as We did it unto the least of these my
brethren We did it unto me-" st. Paal
said that the love of God did not abide
in the heart of one who simply said
"be We clothed and fed and who did
nothing practically to feed. and clothe.
The golden text of the lesson reads:
Bear We one another's burdens, and
so fulfill the law of Christ. The con.
quest of the world will be greatly aid.
ed by the evidence that christians help
the needy, care for the sick and try to
be burden bearers. for all who make
their wants. and burdens known.
Thanks be to God who sent His son to
earth to show us the true heart OF God,
made known the plan of redemption,
and whose religion has done so much
to make mercy, love, helpfulness the
highest kind of living.
