(St, John 10-16 II is

From the above scripture, we
fnd that Christ had to bring
other sheep, the Gentilesl that
was not of the fold of the Jews
or in other words, they that were
not Israelites, And the above
scripture teach us that they did
not have eternal life, For He
says that I give unto them
eternal life. And this was the
promise, as we find in this
language
And this is the promise that
he hath promised US! even
eternal life. VI John 2-25)
And this promise was as we
| find it confirmed in this Ian
guage;
And this is the record, that
God hath given to US eternal life
ami this life is in his Son.
John 5-11)
And we find that this promise
was fulfilled in Christ; in this
language,
rs the law then against the
promises of God? God forbid; to'
if there had been a law giver
which could have given life

Now if the law could hav'

[St. John 5-26 -29.l /
The reader will comprehend
from this declaration of Christ
that He made a difference BE-
tween the dead that was listening
to BIN at the time that he was
talking. and those that was
in the grave: those dead people
thai He was talking was shose
Gentlles who was walking around
him, who God had said oy Moses
tney we're q people that we're not
a people. Christ wanted them to
understand that there was a
greater thing to come TO pass,
than that those dead people who
were to live; than those who
were listening to him AT that
moment.
Hence, He says to them marvel
not at this for all that are lntke
graves shall come forth, all must
! live again. all must be born again
This is why Isaiah said can a
whole nation be born in one day.

7 TNDER the Universal Obligatory Boy
y hood Training System every boy Is
obliged to take training that will
make him physically fit, if it is possible to
make him so. He must be trained so as to
be able to protect his country if the need
should arise
The boy begins his training when ten
years old. Attention is given to the de-
velopment of the physique. This demands
physical exercise and gymnastic training
IN the schools; such training is compul-
sorry. 1t lasts at least twenty minutes
each day. Even the girls as well as the
boys are taught to carry their school books
and other packages on their backs for
the purpose of strengthening the muscles
of the back, improving the bearing, and
lessening spinal curvature, and, cOnse-
quently, nearsightedness.
During the second year of this training,
that is at the age of eleven, the boys be-
come members of the Cadet Corps, con-
tinuing the physical training in the school
The Cadet Corps work is voluntary yet
so general is the ideal Of the necessity of
defending the integrity of the country
that practically all boys at the age of
eleven join some Cadet Corps. During
this year the boy has setting up exercises
and drills in marching. In addition to
this there is little training in the manual
of arms. Each cadet is furnished a boy
sized musket by the state and ammunition
sufficient for target practice. This work
continues through the fifteenth year.
From the age of sixteen to twenty, in
addition to the gymnastic work, marches
and drills in the schools, the Swiss boy
joins a preparatory military organiza-
ton, which continues and enlargeS upon
the work of the Cadet Corps. The musket
used, however, after the age Of sixteen is
the regular man-siZed musket. Two phases
of work are emphasized. Gymnastics for
endurance and quickness, target practice
for skill in shooting.
In the twentieth year, in the summer
time the Swiss youth is given both 1T
frQyy and q physical examination. If he
fails in his literary examination he has
less chance for advancement in the citizen
army. If he fails in his physical eXamina-
ton he is prevented from taking the mill
tary training, or prohibited until he be-
comes fit.
During this midsummer of his twentieth
year he serves sixty days and receives
training similar to that given at our
Plattsburg" camps.
This ends his military training. He
has become a man, and after his twenty
first wear is a member of the defence forces
of the nation.
From twenty-one to thirty-two these
young men form the first line of the citi

Berkshire String Quartet
Interesting Chamber Music
Concert at Aeolian Hall

The Berkshire String Quartet, a
chamber music organization. which IS
known in the West, but which has only
recently decided 10 make New YORK It's
home, gave its first concert last nlgnt
at Aeolian Hall.
The quartet is composed Of hugo
Kortschak. first violin; Herman Feloer'
ir.. second violin; Clarence Evans

can determine, IT Is an organization
quite out of the ordinary.
The four musicians are all young and
thov possess the vigor and dash OF
vouth-abundan freshness and enthu-
siasm. In addition, however, they APP
near grounded in a sincere feeling Tor
the best in music and willing to make
individual sacrifices. Their ensemble
work was admirable. sure in attack
well sustained. finely articulatef.
Both in the Cesar Franck ID major
quartet and in Hugo VOLTS Serenade
for string quartet the delicacy Of treat
ment was most prniscworthy. In addi-
ton. the tone Of all four artists was
warm. and Kortschak. in particular,
seemed to be violinist possessed OF
both technical mastery and feeling.
The audience left no doubt AS TO the

American Geographical So
ciety Gives Roosevelt the
Livingstone Award
He Describes Voyage
Says Col. Rondon, Who Made
First Exploration, Should
Share in Honor

The David Livingstone Centenary
Medal was presented 70 Theodore
Roosevelt last night at meeting OF the
American Geographical Society. held N
the Engineering Societies Building. ~
West Thirty-ninth Street. The honoe
was in recognition Of the services to
the science of geography performed
by Colonel Roosevelt on his trip down
the River Of Doubt.
Although assuring the society OF MS
deep appreciation of the recognition
Colonel Roosevelt declared that IL
should have been extended TO Colonel
Candida Rondon. head of the Brazilian
Telegraphic Commission, whose expo
ditions in the Matte Crosse wilderness
gave to the world the first intimsnon
that the river which Colonel Roosevelt
put on the map really existed.
His own work the Colonel described
as Gaping the pyramid erected by
Colonel Rondon's commission in seven
wears of exploration. 80 the expodi-
tion he said:
THE exploration proper occupied Two
months. As a result, we put on thr
map a river about the size OF the tloe
or the Rhine, Of the very existence OF
which the maps had previously given
no hints. BY turning TO the maps Is
sued before our expedition, you Will
sec that various. wholly imaginary
rivers were put down as running Amos

we descended.

zen army, but they serre but sixteen days
eUery gear In arms.
After thirty-two the Swiss passes into
the body of the reserve, and after forty
he becomes a member of the third line
of defence. His average service from
twenty to forty-two is but nine days a
year.
Which of the three systems is best for
the United States?
Has our pacific attitude, resulting IN
the volunteer system of training, been Ell
fective?
If not, which of the two other systems
can be adopted as symbolizing the national
attitude Of our people?
Shall we continue our present system.
a system under which the best men in the
world are made inefficient as defenders, or
shall we adopt the system of the militar-
ist-the German system, or the system
of the Swiss, which results in national fit
ness?
1t is the undenidble duty of every son
and father to protect the mother and the
home; to protect its material form from
despoliation and destruction; to protect the
sacred ideals of the family from insult and
dishonor; and to protect the mother and
the sister from assault and violation,
The son or father who does not do so,
or who breaches that such protection
should not be given, is destroyer OF the
factors and ideals upon which civilization
is based.
1t is the inemtabIe duty of every citizen
to protect the home land, the motherland
that cares for him, that protects him, that
guarantees to him life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
The citizen who is unwilling to do so,
or the man who breaches that the indl-
vidual citizen should not be compelled to
give his life if necessary, to protect the
material factors of the nation from de
spoliation, to protect the integrity and
unity of his motherland, and to protect
its mothers and daughters from assault
and rapine, may name himself Con
scientious Director" but in reality ne is
a destroyer Of the ideals upon which civil
ization is founded. an unwilling murderer
of millions of his fellow men.
Every patriotic citizen knows that some
system of national defence is necessary;
every sane citizen knows that our present
system is unsatisfactory and inefficient
We must choose a new system OF de-
fence.
This decision is the greatest problem
before America to-day.
1t can be settled only by determining the
basic national attitude which creates each
system, and by discovering which attitude
exists in America.
What are the basic attitudes existing IN
the United States achich must determine
orr chOice?
