The same day The Star carried the news of the invasion of the United states by the Villa army of one thou sand men, the sacking and burning of the town of Columbus, N M.. and the murdering of twenty -one peaceful American men and women, q friend at Chanute mailed me copy of Ed Howe's View of It." wherein old Ed lahoriously makes the point that ar mament is foolishness, and cheerfully remarks that any man of fair intel ilsence should know that there is no danger of war, except as We manu- ffacture 1t, as the newspapers and pol iticians are now manufacturing it."
 The same issue of The Star carried me news that should cause the paci iist crowd much glee, said news being that the American cavalry, auartered Tn CO1umbus for the defense of Amer ican citizens, would have easily re- pe'ied tie attack except for the fact that the machine guns damned" and would not work at the critical mo- meih. But there is no horror in th;s Tor those who want to save pennies evidently.

 the terrible fills his whole vision, and
 he protests. Jesus entered into no
 discussion with Ananias tv. l5). He simply bids him go~do as he is told, and tells what Saul of Tarsus really
 was, "a chosen vessel. etc. AnaEias
 protests no longer, readily ana
 promptly and heartily he obeys. The
 moment he sees Paul. he tenderly lays
 his hands upon him and exclaims.
 Brother Saul There was no man
 on earth that Saul had hated as he
 did disciples of the Lord. there was
 no man on earth that Ananias has
 dreaded as ne did Saul. but this was
 now all changed faith in the one
 Lord had made them brothers. The
 Lord had said nothing to Ananias
 about Saul's being filled with the
 Holy Spirit but He had said that
 Saul was a chosen vessel to carry
 my name before the Gentitles.' and
 Ananias knew he could not do that
 properly unless he was endued with
 power from on high Lu. 24: AZ; Ac
 l: f, :, ch. 10: 3S). Saurs eyes were
 immediately opened and he was bap-
 tized and at once sought Christian fellowship. In the verses that follow 20-22 we are told that he did what every man ought to do as soon as he is saved and Spirit filled, proclaimed Jesns as the Son of God" Carefully note how Ananias spoke of Jesus as the Lord This is the title by which Jesus was constantly known in the carly church (cf. Phil. }: II: Rom. 10: l 5, 10, R. V.; Ac. l6: 31, R. V.). You read nothing in the N. T. of such titles as '"rhe Man nf Galilee, so common nowadays. You do not even read of Jesus (without any accom- panying title), except in the gospels, (because they had to do with His earthly life of. Cor. !: 16). We would do well to follow the Bible ex- ample and not speak of Jesus Gas l IS so common) but "the Lord Jesus.'
