WHEN THE CALL COMES

There are certain fallacies which
most of US come to accept as gospel
truth We are told that lone should
always look on the bright side of
things"
But many things in this world have
no bright side. What about the young
fellows we knew ten years ago
bright, talented, with splendid pros
pects-slipping away into intemper-
ance and degradation Where is the
bright side to this? What about the
horrors of child labor, of disease and
suffering due to ignorance and sin?
"All things are for the best" we
are told. This is repeated as though
it were a text of scripture. There is
no sentiment in the Bible. True
enough, there is teaching that when
one is following out the purposes of
God in his life, then all things are
for the best; but many things are not
for the best-they are hideously bad.
Truth is mighty, and will prevail
this has been said with the assur-
ance that every man who breaches the
truth is sure to win out. 1t is true
that the truth is mighty, and that it
will prevail; but not necessarily here

CAREER OF THE CITY OF JERUSALEM
By CHARLES JOHNSTON in New York Times.

sacred banner of the Moslems to Con-
stantinople. Selim's son, Suleiman
the Magnificent, once more built the
great walls about Jerusalem. These
walls of Suleiman are the present for
tifications of the city.
Destruction by Titus
But the great walls of Suleiman the
Magnificent are only the last of long
series of walls which, time after time,
have been built only to be destroyed.
The most tragical destruction not only
of the walls, but also of the whole
city. was that which was carried out
/ by the Roman armies of Titus, in the
year 20 of our era, in the reign of the
Emperor Nespasian.
| Josephus thus describes the final
capture of the city:
"And now the earthworks were fin
ished, and the Romans brought up
their engines; and some of the sedi-
tious. already despairing Of saving the
city retired from the wall; others hid
| themselves in the underground pas
sages, though many stood their ground
and defended themselves against those
that brought up the battering rams.
/ But the Romans overcame them by
their numbers and strength, and, what
was the principal thing Of all, by GO
the Jews were already quite detected
and worn out. Now, as soon as part
of the wall was batterei down, and
some of the towers yielded to the i'm
preston of the battering rams, those
that manned the wall fled.
! Thus did the Romans, when they had
taken such great pains about weaker
walls. get bv good fortune what they
could never have got by their engines;
for three of the towers were too strong
I for any siege engines.
I The Romans being now masters of
the walls, placed their standards upon
the towers. and made joyful acclama-
tions for the victory thev had gained.
Rushing into the streets of
the city with their swords drawn. they
slew those whom they met without
mercy, and set fire to the houses into
which the Jews had FLED, and burned
every soul in them. They
ran every one through whom they
met. and blocked up the streets with
dead bodies. and made the whole city
run with blood, to such q degree, in
ldeed. that the fire of many of the
burning houses was Gueuched with
these mems blood. And they left off
/ slaying at evening. but the fire great
Ily prevailed in the night. And the
day. when it dawned, found all Jeru-
salem burning"
! Rebuilt by HadrIan.
! The citv, thus tragically DESTROYED,
was rebuilt by the Emperor Hadrian,
but revolt in the year 1872. under
Bar -Cochebas, brought the might of
the Romans against it. and it was
again destroyed. Then Jerusalem be-
came a Roman colony, and a temple
of Jupiter Capitolinus was built on the
site of the Temple. where the Mosque
| of Omar now stands. With the rise OF
the Eastern Empire at C0nstantinople
the fortunes of Jerusalem also rose;
in the year $50 the Empress Eudoxia
rebuilt the walls, and later Byzan-
tine Emperor built shrine on the
Temple inclosure. But, in the wear

roes. King of Persia, and it soon
passed into Moslem hands.

case. Truth did not prevail in Judea,
in Assyria, in Greece, in Rome. All
these nations went down to their ruin
because they neglected the truth.
Truth will prevail, but not always the
exponent of truth. He may be called
upon to suffer.
What does all this mean? Just
this-it means that when there is no
bright side to some things, when many
things are not for the best, when to
preach the truth means suffering,
there is a call for men-men with red
blood and strong hearts-men who are
willing to work and to fight for the
right, who will be willing TO help de-
stroy those things which are not for
the best, so that the world may finally
be brighter for every man, woman and
child.
The present war is challenging men
as never before. We are sure that
we are right, and that ultimately we
must win. But we shall win only as
men are willing to give themselves
and all that they possess.

GAIN IN DEPOSITS
AT TDENVER BANKS
OVER 10 MILLIONS
THIS is RECORD OF TWO
MONTHS BUSINESS.
Total Deposits Now Greater Than
Ever Before in History of City
Banking. Showing Stability of
Business and Industry.

While one of Denver's leading bank
ing institutions uses the motto, Solid
as the Pyramids" and has been so
proven by crucial test, this applies
with equal force TO all the banks of
this city.
Since September II the deposits in
five national and nine state banks of
Denver have increased over Sl0,o00,-
900. which is new high record for
this city.
Reports prepared and submitted to
the United States comptroller of cur
rency to the close of business No
vember 20. showed that the total de-
posits in the five national banks on
that date was SS9. $50 1874 as compared
with SS1, 1905 on September IL. the
date of the last previous call. Total
deposits in the nine state banks and
trust companies on November 20 were
$50 .4OO,77S as compared with S35,-
472 .671 on September IL. The grand
total for these fourteen national and
state institutions on November 20 was
Sl26. .250,912 while the September IL
total was Sl16,S1S,22O.
The five national banks gained SS,-
500 ,5S5 in the two months and eleven
day interval, while the nine state
banks and trust companies made an
increase in deposits OF Ssoe'ioi' Ionl-
bincd, these two classes gained So
a47.7O2, and it is highly probable that
the dozen other banks in the city have
made gains aggregating Mt least
half million.
These figures speak volumes for the
business and industrial development of
this city and the territory which con-
stitutes the banking zone of Denver.
And it indicates financial stability
equal to any commercial community
in the country.
Among the leading banks of Den
YER are the First National. Denver
National. United States. National,
Hamilton National. Colorado National,
American Bank and Trust Company,
Interstate Trust Company, the Stock
Yards Bank and the Hibernia Bank

HARRISBURG, Pa, 5iarch 1.-The state
Economy and Efficiency Commission has
been requested to cooperate with the APP
preparations committee of the senate and
House TO decide how the eXorbitant de-
mands of several state Departments can
be pared down
The departments have asked for APP

ceived two years ago The estimated in

new revenue Legislation IS enacted.
The demands Of the various departments
Of the State Government are considerably
higher than they have been at any time
For instance. the State Highway Depart
ment requests an additional Sl2 900, 900 :;
the Department Of Labor and Industry says
it requires an extra $1,000, 900, giving
future of the Workmen's Compensation
Board as their principal excuse DR. Samuel
G. Dixon, head Of the Department Of
Health, declares that he ought to have an
additional S2.50O,O00; the Department Of
Education. which is treadng on the heels
of the Highways Department in the size of
its demand upon the state Treasury

two years ago: and the Department of
Agriculture. for which Governor Brum-
baugh has very kindly feeling. is also to
the fore. with a request for an extra ST.
100000 allowance.
Unless the Governors attitude toward the
requests made by the several departments
undergoes a change, it is believed that the
public schools and the good roads move-
| ment will come in for the largest measur
of increases to be approved not only BY the
Economy and Efficiency Commission but
also by the Appropriations Committees of
both branches of the Legislature. The Legis-
lature of 1915 reported requests for ap-
preparations aggregating S10,000,000 and
granted appropriations that totaled $67.-
100000. The Legislature this year is con-
sidering ways and means for raising an
additional yearly revenue Of approximately

schoolhouses." and the leaders Of both fac
tions of the Republican organization in both
branches have pledged their support to any
legislation that will give these demands

1t has been estimated by the financial
directors of this Legislature that about
$75,OOO,OOO will be required for the next
two years. If any comprehensive program
