An old Australian farmer visited his
daughter, who had antimacassars on
the backs Of her chairs. AS he was
sitting by the window. he spied the
minister coming to visit "Jean," as she
~was called. AS she went to answer the
door, her father, not being accustomed
to such finery, snatched all the anti
macassars off the chairs and threw
them under the table.

4 Few Lines for
The CRESSET,

As an item from Batesville Ark.
Dear Readers of the WORLD S
CREssET, we ask, how are we to
know at this day and age, that
we are saved by reading the
Word? And Judging our own
hearts? For we must Judge our
oNnselves and not another. For
God says in His Word that we
shall not Judge no man, lest we
be judged with the same judges
ment. Now how are we to anow
that we are saved by reading
the Word. First please read.
For am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ; for it Is the
power of God unto salvation to
every one that believeth; to the
Jew first and also to the Greek.
Rom" /. icy
Now here is the power of God
unto salvation, to every one that
believeth. Therefore Paul says;
Now let US read.
But If our gospel be hil it is
hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god OF this world
hath blinded the minds them
which believe not, lest the light
II the glorious gospel of Christ
who is the image of God, should
shine unto them. 2 Cor" -3-4)
Now Dear Reader If the gospel
ia hid to you, it is bid because
you are lost. For the gospel of
Christ, Is THE POWER OF GOD.
UNTO SALVATION. For this fea.
son We have no right to Judge
any man, For Paul said again.
THEREFORE, thou art
lnexcusable, O man whosoever
thou art that judgest: for where
III thou judgest another, thou
conde mnest thyself; for thou
that judgest doest the same
things.
But il we are sure that the
Judgement of God is according
to truth against then which
com NIT such things.
Thinkest thou this, O man. that
judgest item whic b do such
thilgs. and dCest the same, that
thou shalt escape the judgement

So we must not Judge ss atov
stated. and as the following
scripture will teach ycu.
Judge not, that ye be not
judged,
For with what Judgment ye
Judge, ye shall he judged; and
with what measure ye mete, IL
shall be measured to you again."
(St Mat 7-1-2)
Do not Judge any man, but
to love one another, as Christ
has loved US and gave His life for
US. For Paul has said, Il would
not brethren that ye should be
ignorant of this mystery" That
if our gospel be hid IL is hid to
them that are lost. And then
when we read the Word and
know the gospel, We know then
that we are saved, by this prac'
tice.
But if We walk in the light as
he is in the light, we have fellow
ship one with another. and the
blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanserh us from all sin. "(1John

And therefore he says.
And this is love that we walk

ye have heard from the beginning
We should walk in it, 'l2John 1-6l
For He says again.
If we say that we have fel
lowship with him, and walk in
darkness we lie. and DO not the

Then we know for ourselves
whether or not We are lost. also
when Christ says If we love him
we will keep His commandments
Also says. he that says that he
believe!h and keep not my COM
mandments is q liar and the
truth is not In him,
So Dear Brothers and Readers
of the CREssET let US stop and
think. Are we lost? Are We liars
or are we savedt
Let US search the scripture an
Judge ourselves and not an
other, so let US labor and pray
for that perfect day TO come
when we all will know the Lord
from the least unto the greatest.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The world
should gather a sympathetic understand
ing Of Russia S plight, cease talking
about traitors and boost the movement
for democracy there, according to the
view Of the American government to-
day.
One of the highest Ameri an officials
stated that this government sympathizes
with the Russian effort after democracy
and decries information that the I'm
tied States or the allies are proposing
to look upon Russia as an enemy as a
result of her armistice negotiations.
This government believes that the
fruits of the revolution-the struggle
toward democracy--ought to be preserv-
ed and fostered until Russia can re-
cover her fighting powers and again aid
the movement toward world democracy.
America, naturally does not approve
of the Lenine-Trotsky negotiations for
an armistiee and separate peace with
Germany. But it does sympathize fully
with the basic element dominating the
Russian peoples, the longing for free
democratic government.
The United States is not sympathetic
with any spirit which says in effect:
"Give us any reign in Russia, even
monarchy, so long as you supply us
with fighting men. -
The feeling here is that the spirit of
democracy should be fostered for itself
and that instead Of talking punishment
of Russia, the allies should get togeth-
er, in sympathy, and lend hand to

Must Be Saved From German
Intrigue, and Have Time to
Solve Her Problems

By Lowell MeIlett

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Copyright 1917 by the United Press)
Paris, Nov. 3O-America is insisting
that the allies adopt more sympathet.
ic policy toward Russia.
The result of the revolution must be
saved.
AS the champion of world democracy
America is not inclined to look upon
Russia solely from the viewpoint of
the aid her rehabilitated armies might
be to the allies. That Russia return to
the fight is a matter Of extreme neces-
sity, but the United States would not
see her shackled again in the bonds of
despotism, to gain this end.
The United States is not going to
stand by and see democratic advant-
ages in Russia lost through lack Of
sympathy from other nations allied in
the fight against autocracy.
The United Press is informed on
high authority today that this atti-
tude on the part of America is being
clearly presented to the delegates Of
