@But suffer all things lest we should
hinder the EOspeI."@I Corinthians
'0:I=.
THE gospel is the message which
the cross proclaims to a world
in sin. When a true man is
called to the ministry the absorbing
passion Of his life is that the gospel
may be faithfully preached, that it
may reach the greatest number Of
souls in the briefest space of time.

ORANGES beset II on every hand How
ever, here IS a man who determined
by Gods help that so far as he was
personally concerned, no hindrance
should be put in the way of the gos-
pei of Christ
The Arch HInderer.
Who is it that binders the gospel?
The devil is the arch hinderer. But
for the work Of Satan, there would
never have been any need OF the gos-
pei He tries to prevent its spread.
Paul purposed to visit his Thessa-
lonian brethren more than once, but
Satan hindered him. He blinds the
minds Of hearers OF the gospel so
that they might not understand and
be saved If the devil had the power,
he would shut up every church in
this city; he would put to death ev-
cry disciple Of Christ and make il
impossible that any who are not
Christians should hear the word of
eternal life.
Agents of Satan.
Wicked men are hinderers OF the
gospel Satan acts directly ana
through his agents in human form.
Herod was his agent when he sought
to destroy the infant Jesus. His own
people were the agents Of Satan when
they nailed Him to the cross. The
devil has many agents in this grow
ing city in his work OF opposition to
the gospel, chief of which are the
the gambling house and the

Wounded by Friends.
But strange as it may SEEM the
gospel is continually hindered by
protesting Christians. Jesus is being
continually wounded in the house Of
His friends. We expect opposition to
the gospel from its enemies, but from
its. friends-never: When Caesar saw
only enemies trying to slay him, he
offered all the resistance in his power.
but when he saw Brutus. his trusted
friend, in the ranks Of the conspira-

There IS the money loving spirit.
Paul, as a preacher OF the gospel, had
the right to live Of the gospel. But

was in it, he would fOrego this right

They are in the world, but not OF the

HARD ON GAME BIRDS.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Feb. IL
While residents Of the cities have been

deep SHOWS have been working their
havoc among the fish and animal king

With the ground buried under a foot
and more of snow and ice, thousands
of partridges, pheasants, quail and
ducks doubtless would have persisted
but for the game wardens who have
been strewing feed wherever 1t can be
found MANY of the smaller trout
streams, particularly IN the more noun
famous parts Of the state, have frozen
50 deep as to threaten the lives Of the
fish which have been distributed 50
lavishly by the state during the last
few years. in spite of these conditions
the best trout season in - years is
promised by those who should know
and birds are mosc plentiful than they
have been fer several winters. Every
effort is being directed toward the pres
ervation of this resource, which for a
time showed rapid depletion.

HOPE TO GET RELIEF.
transportation Officials Expect Relief
From EMBARGO

CHICAGO, Feb 17-While leading
representatives Of transportation lines,
manufacture and finance admitted that
the embargo on freight and the con
eestion at railway terminal in the
East and the Middle West presented
serious obstacles, they were optimistic
today concerning the developments of
the near future.
The decision of the British admiralty
to permit neutral vessels sailing from
American ports for Europe to undergo
examination at Halifax instead of at
Kirkwal, was pointed to as likely to
bring relief from the congestion in a
short time
George VI. Reynolds, president Of the
Continental and Commercial National
bank, said:
'The embargo situation has brought
great deal Of complaint from bic
shippers, manufacturers, wholesalers,
and already we have had several re-
quests for information as to possible
loans to carry big business men who
are feeling the pressure. The situation
! win do no harm fnancially-at least
for the present The only effect will
be "A healthy tightening of the money
market. >
John p. Griffin, president of the Chi
cago board Of trade, said he believed
shipping conditions will show great
Improvement within the next As hours,
especially in shipment Of grain.
! ''There may be some trouble in the
distribution Of grain for domestic use
at eastern points owing to congested
! freight conditions, said Mr.. Griffin,
'but grain should be moving freely in
