south of the equator and which is found
in greatest abundance in Peru. There are
at least sixteen species of the dogwood

these are arborescent or of tree form.
The others are shrubs. The dogwood

SAYS EVERYTHING CHRIST
DID WAS FOR OTHERS

Everything that Jesus did was
not for Himself nor for His father
but for others. May we emulate his
example" was the appeal made by
Rev. c. F. Byrer. pastor of the Me
mortal United Brethren church at
the conclusion Of his sermon Sunday
on The other Individual" in which
he outlined the Christians duty to-
ward his neighbor as Christ would
have it.
Jesus gives us a broad view Of
life. We see only a small part of il

ing the study Of the life and teach
ings of Christ. He then went on TO
contrast the charity of Jesus with
that Of men and 10 point out some Of
the lessons which He taught men on
this score. With Jesus the needs Of
the race ever stood before His per-
sonal claims. even before His per
sonal sorrows. however sacred How
we need this thought in our nation
today,
IF we follow in the path, Of our
Savior we must remember the people
about us. If we would have a better
church. community, nation or age we
must remember that we must ac-
count for those around us 70 a great
extent. We must remember that
other people are like ourselves. are
similar 10 US In tastes. powers, and
feelings. have the same virtues and
the same vices. Again we must re-
member the possibilities Of others.
Some of the greatest leaders have
come from very unlikely places. Who
except Jesus would have gone among
fishermen for His apostles? He rec
ognized their possibilities.
This same Jesus expects us. his
followers. TO deal with those about
US I'm the same way he dealt with
them No matter how Indifferent
they may be nor how low in the
scale Of humanity nor how great an
enemy they may be we must realize
that they are immortal souls with all

cording TO our sins. The gospel l.,
not for the few but for all. 1t is,
as our text SAYS, for every nation
and kindred and tongue and people.
1t is a message of love toward the
whole world
Another element Of the everlast-

Lived Half Truth.
THE final sin Of Balaam was that
he tried TO live "a half truth which
is worse than a lie. SO with all de-
clining souls. they will not oppose
social sins because they see in them
a one-sided virtue; the merchant
sells adulterated goods with the ex-
cuse that he did not recommend
them TO be pure and a customer
keeps the over amount of change
not due him by saying it was the
merchants business not to make the
mistake.
The final lesson this ancient
story Of Balaam's sin is that in spite
Of Balak's intrigues: i'm spite on
Balaam's selfish schemes the cause
OF the infinite God was triumphant.
So is ever the cause Of righteous

HOLDS BIBLE Up
ASL|FE' s MIRROR
Rev. Henry L. Davis Shows
Balaam as Illustration of
RetrogreSSion of Soul.

THE Bible is the mirror for the
moral life Of man as the looking
glass is for the countenance of the
physical man." said Rev. Henry L.
Davis, ID. D.. pastor Of the First NJ.
+. church. in prefacing a sermon
Sunday on The Declension of the
Human Soul" in which he traced
the tragic history of the downfall
Of BALKAN as an illustration of
moral retrogression.
BALKAN was a great prophet,
though outside of Israel His first
mistake as we'll as the first step in
the souls decline was his refusal
TO follow the primal instinct of his
soul" declared Rev. Davis. and he
continued: Think twice before YOU
act may be good advice in the realm
of commerce. but il is not safe in
religion. The first impression is the
best Balaams first impression
from God not to curse Israel was
rejected by him.
FlOuted Opposition.
The second sin of Balaam was
that he sinned i'm the face of oppo-
sition. Then he blamed his misfor-
tunes upon the poor ass that ne
rode. All nen who commit sin
blame their misfortunes on their
families. upon society or upon
Providence. but never deem them
selves the chief author Of their own
disaster.
The third fact about the soul s
declension is when once begun we
cannot retrace our steps. Like
BALKAN. we can repent our sins and
be forgiven, but we cannot be saved
from the effects that result from
our sins Physical health which
should have been obtained in youth
cannot be obtained in later years

RANK DISLOYALTY

There are limits to patience. There
are also limits beyond which 1t Is treason
TO 60. When President Wilson was re.
/ ceiving the members OF the Russian mis-.
sion to the United States at the White
7 House on Wednesday two women posted
! themselves at the entrance to the White
House grounds and Haunted banner
which bore these words, among others:
president Wilson and Envoy Root are
deceiving Russia. We, the WON
en- OF America, tell you that America is
not democracy" Help us make
this nation really free. Tell our govern.
ment that it must liberate It's people
before it can claim free Russia as an
ally"
The banner stared the Russian official
mission in the face as they went to the
White House. Not knowing the signif
canoe of the inscription they could not
appreciate the fact that the banner was
hoisted by bunch of suffragettes who
are resorting to extreme means in order
to get the vote for women. The cause
of "votes for women" is a dignifed move
ment, but it was dishonored by such
methods as that resorted to by the fren
zied women who hoisted the disloyal ban
ner at the White House grounds. "Presi-
dent Wilson and Envoy Root are deceiv

United States is straining every effort
to elinch the cordial relations between
the governments in Washington and Pet

to assist in the esta blishment of some
thing approaching a free government in
the car -ridden Russia, these misguided
enthusiasts for an honorable cause step
in and endeavor to nullify those govern
mental purposes by their silly banner.
They perhaps have forgotten that the
United States is at war. If so, they
need very forcible reminder. Such an
act of disloyalty is far more, culpable, to
our way of thinking, than the failure to
register for military purposes. 1t isl
worse than trying to prevent Others from
registering. 1t is even worse than going
out and blowing up munitions plant,
II is worse because it attempts to con-
travene negotiations between this gov
eminent and the government of Russia
