eating the first cases and told DR..
Kirk the state board did not require
the quarantining of the breadwinner
OF a. family where there was q case
Of infantile paralysis. There were
certain precautions that We're made
known to the head Of the house, who
was, permitted. to come and go about
his honor to see that these precau-
lions were complied with. DR.. Green,
representing the state board Of health
at a recent meeting in New York, had
made q special study OF the disease
and said 1t was now the generally ac-
cepted practice to limit quarantine OF
a household to four weeks instead OF
six weeks. It had been determined
that the disease was not commune

spread only through actual contact
with a case or the Of the dis

Pastor George B. Thompson, Of Wash

Pastor Thompson, who is secretary

He stated that unless h readers Of
novels and the writer's repented they
would undoubtedly be destroyed.
both those who love lies and those
who make them are on the way to
eternal fire." said Pastor Thompson.
Let us read our Bibles and good
books and leave the novels severely
alone.
Books OF fiction are nothing but
written lies. Therefore they very clear
ly fall under the wrath Of God, as do
the ones who write them and the ones
who read them."-Los Angeles Ex-

Sawed BY THEIR CITIZENSHIP.

More than half million Syrlans have died
of starvation in the last few months. People
enough-men, women and children-to make
more than thirty cities the size of Keoknk, have
died in agony for lack Of food. Little as
it takes to keep life in body-a handful OF two
of grain day would suffce-these wretched
people in Palestine and in the Lebanon dis
trict have been unable to obtain it. Even In
cities like Beirut the christian and jewish IN
habitants are in desperate case and no day
passes that some of them, weak with famine,
do not fall dying in the streets.
It is said that more than Thousand cltl-
zens of the United States missionaries and
naturalized Syrians Armenians and Hebrews
have been trying for year to get away from
the Holy Land. Our cruiser Des MONIES and
collier Caesar are on their way to Beirut with
supplies and will take some of these starving
Americans to Barcelona from whence they can
sail for home. Their citizenship will save their
lives; but what will save the tens of thousands
of others. christians and jews, in Palestine I'M
less the British forces now near GAIA succeed in
Wrestling the long oppressed land from the
Turks.

LAND BANK FLoTAT1oN.

The stock Of twelve federal land banks is Of
fered at public sale, "and now is the time to
subscribe as the books close at the end of this
month There appears to be no rush for the
securities. The prospect is that the govern
1nent viii not meet serious competition for the
control of the capital stock, nine-million-dol-
lar issue distributed among the twelve institu-
tions. The treasury probably will be at liberty
to take up the whole or most of it, as the rural
credits act prudently provided for in case it
should not be absorbed by private subscribers.
The land bank capital is divided into five
dollar shares in order to interest the small in
yestor,' but they are reported to be going a
begging The treasury has not got nine mil
lions of course, but is deep in the hole. How
ever, having been directed by congress to pur-
chase the stock ''out of any moneys in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated" Secre=
tary McAdoo will have to find the money. Since
every dollar in the treasury has been appro-
priated-and more than is in it, or than Will be
for months to come-a loan apparently will
have TO be arranged to float the land banks.

A NEW OUTPoURING.

writer in one of the English magazines
points out that on the continent Of Europe be-
fore the war changed everything, not one Of
ten baptized persons went to church, and not
even percentage of males but only fraction
of one per cent. attended communion. The
two wears Just past show as are told, where
this tendency away from the things of the spirit
has led mankind and show how sorely new
outpouring is needed.
There is much to indicate that it will come, is
coming now has already begun. Mans ex-
tremity is Gods opportunity, as has been said,
and when all that the world offers is seen to be
imperma nent and barren Of delight the cropping
search of the soul for the satisfying divine
realities begins.
War, the life Of men alarms removed from
refining associations, was formerly held, and
with some reason, to make men rough and reck-
less and demoraized, although it did not effect
all soldiers So But this war is different. It is
not waged by professional military caste. 1t
is every mans war and every woman's war:
and the lives are few in Europe to which it is
not bringing grief, pain, privation, and, to
hearts which are not set on higher things, a
feeling not far removed from dark despair.
But the human mind must have some refuge,
come defense. Few souls stout enough to
stand alone, serene, unmoved amid the crash of
things when all that has seemed most stable and
most worth while is going down. For the mass
OF mankind faith in a promise believed, pow
unseen, is essential to the maintenance OF
