CONSERVATION OF PAPER,

Every citizen ought to be willing
to see that not a pound of paper is
wasted
Demand from every clerk that any
unnecessary wrapping of packages
be dispensed with.
If you have no further use for to-
days newspaper save it for the
school children s playground fund.
Thus you will be helping conserve
the nation s paper supply and at
the same time helping along wor-
thy local cause.

is going to be pronounced upon every
man bafpre Jesus Christ comes the sec
ond time. Some time the decree will
go forth recorded In Rev. 22:11. He
that is unjust, let him be unjust still
and he which is filthy, let him be filthy
STILL etc.
Every idle word that we speak is to
be brought up in this judgment. Matt.
IL: SO. You may have sins covered up
as far as man is concerned but they
are open to all heaven. 1t is all record
ed in the books. The dead are to ne
judged out of the books. The angels
of God keep an accurate record OF
every mans life that has ever lived
upon this earth. If this world could
look into heaven and see what Is trans
piring there, every man, woman ana
child would fall on his face and plead
with God for mercy.
God has appointed day In which
he is going to judge the world, and no
man can say that he believes in Jesus
Christ without believing in the Judg-
ment. Acts 1871. In Rev. IL: 1S we
learn that at the time when the ma
tions are angry the dead are being
judged Just as truly as the nations are
angry, the dead are being Judged to-
night. Every government hasa day of
reckoning, because there are law
breakers. 1t is the same with God. He
must have day of reckoning, because
men are breaking his law.
MANY have the idea that God is go
ing to begin the judgment with the
heather. 1t is going to begin with the
house of oGd. eter All. God begins
with men who profess to follow him.
No court goes into session without a
law by which to try the case. II we
had no law there would be no use for
a court The law of God Is the STAN
dard we must meet. SO speak We and
so do, as they that shall be judged
by the law Of liberty James Pip.
There is not man but who desires
to live. There is not a man in the
world hut who would lay down every
dollar he possesses to the doctor to
have his life prolonged. You can not
stay outside Of Christ and live When
we come up before the bar Of God,
there will be just one lawyer admitted.
He demands the same thing as law
yer here. This lawyer will not take
case unless the individual will place his
case wholly in his hands. Christ is
there to take up our life and our sins
and blot them out and give us his
righteousness and release us from the
penalty Of the law. If we turn against
him, he will also turn against us and
say that we are not worthy to enter
into his kingdom. Christ will not lose
single case that is placed in his
hands. The devil will not win a single
case at the bar Of God. The only hope
we have Is TO place our case In the
hands of Jesus Christ, our Lord and
Saviour, the worlds redeemer."

Share Your Pleasures.

1t has bccn said that happiness
which has not been shared has no
taste. If the pleasant things which
come to you somehow seem to have
no taste. if they seem rather flavor
less, perhaps this is the explanation.
Put gladness into anOther's life, divide
up the pleasures you have been selfish
ly enjoying, SO that it will help two or
three. and your happiness will have
plenty of flavor.

THE FIRST CONSIDERATION

~ Y order of the president,
80 American merchant ships
forced to go through the
submarine zone will be armed
for defense and congress has
been called to meet in special
session April l6 to take such
steps as may then be necessary
Tor the further protection of
our merchant marine.
The line of action adopted
rs one of which the public will
heartily approve. We could
not do less and retain self re-
Spect as a nation. However,
the step taken will not neces-
ssriiy mean war. Thus far in
The ruthless submarine cam
Daign Germany has refrained
from sinking American ships
without giving passengers and
crews a chance to escape.
This has been done even
though the vessels were unarm-
ed. Having shown such moder-
stion toward our ,unarmed
vessels is it not more than prob
able the submarine will leave
cur armed merchantmen alone.
President Wilson is acting on
Gbe principle that the essential
thing is not whether we have
peace or war but that we take
such action as is necessary in
sehalf Of American rights and
humanity in general-let the
outcome be what it may. 1t is
a course to which all may sub
scribe Svith good will and 10y
ally.

of Mexico with a view to hav-
ing him make war on the Uni
ted States in the event a GER
tain contingency should come
to pass.
All these developments give
a line on the difficulties Presi-
dent Wilson faced in dealing
with the Mexican situation. 1t
was an exasperating affair in
the extreme. The trouble
makers were bent upon get
ting an American invasion of,
Mexico. They wished Uncle
Sam to get tied up in a Mexican
broil so he would have no time
or energy for the protection OF
American rights at sea. The
country is now able to see with
clearness the wisdom of the
president in avoiding real in
tervention. 1t is now possible
for people to assess at its real
value the advice so vehemently
given by tory newspapers and
fervid anti-Wilson compaign
orators to the effect we should
go into Mexico for the purpose
of wiping them out from cellar
to roof. If the Washington ad-
had taken the ad-
vice of the tories and jingoes
we would have played directly
into the hands of the plotters.
