Heaven tonight you'd be miserable. You

This was the declaration made by

from Galatians, 81.
In making an appeal TO the audience
TO let God turn aside the law Of reaping
what one has sown by giving their heart
and life to God. the Evangelist continued:
Every one Of us must be prepared to
face the facts some day, whether those
facts be pleasant or unpleasant. Every
thinking man knows that some day he
will be brought to account for those
things which he has done and for those
things which he has left undone. God
knows you as no one else knows you. God
is no fool Don't be deluded and think
He is going to swing wide the gates of
glory and let all enter in.
God is not running His kingdom diff
ferently from the way in'which the city
of Washington Is run. Protection Is af-
forded your wife and your children, and
God does the same thing for His people
You may fool some people with your
ideas and notions, but you can't fool God.
You may waste your money, time and
talent. IL you wish. God gives you the
power to scatter the seed from your own
resources He gives you a mind to think
impure thoughts or pure thoughts. He
gives you a heart and you use 1t for
wrong desires. He gives you body, and
instead of using it for His glory, you
satisfy your own passions.
Some of you will walk across acres
Of tangled thickets and cry, Ny God. 1

DELAYED FOOD SHIPS
PREPARING To SAIL
Belgian Supplies May Be Safe Con-
Quoted Through U-Boat Zone.

CBy the International News Service.)
London, Feb. 16.-Following the an
nouncement that American relief workers
in Belgium would be allowed by the Ger
man authorities to remain. belief was ex-
pressed today that the six ships laden
with supplies for the Belgians, which
have been held up in British ports, would
sail at once.
1t is possible, however, that an effort
may be made to secure safe conducts for
the ships from Germany. before they
leave with their cargoes of foodstuffs, as
they have to pass through the barred
zone.
The British government, which is keen
ly interested in the relief work in Belgium
and Northern France, has under consid-
Grafton suggestions for the reorganiza-
tions of the work. 1t is understood that
representations have been made to the
American State Department upon this
question.

The increasing number of high-powered

There are hundreds of amateur wire

of them have only receiving machines.
OF the sending machines only five are

PRICES MUST COME DOWN.
New York Worldly

In recent address to tho Nor.
chants Association of New York. OF.
| to H. Kahn said, Ithink the business
mans slogan during the war should
be No panicky saving and no en-
cessive profits"
Unless the principle of "no excess
i've profits" is applied, and applied
/, quickly, something far more serious
than panicky savings is sure to re-
suit. The limit of saving, panicky or
otherwise, has been reached in respect
to the salaried classes and the ordi-
nary wage-earning classes. They can
barely manage to make both ends
meet, and the pressure of continuing
high prices is becoming intolerable.
Steady employment that connot earn
enough to support family dccently
produces some of the same economic
and social effects rs enforced idleness.
BY many newspapers the Presi-
dents warning and appeal TO the bus
mess interests of the country has
been interpreted as an address to big
business alone. We do not under
stand it. The President was seeking
to arouse the patriotism of all kinds
of business, big and little, which have
to do either with Government or pub :.
lie.
1t is not merely the price of steel
ana copper and coal and even of flour
that must come down. There must
be a general reduction of prices nil
along the line, and the little business
that seeks to take advantage of tho
war to get rich quick is no better than
the big business that is wallowinp in
war profits at the expense of the pub-
lie. Both of them are doing dirty work
for the Kaiser, and doing it for mon
ey.
There is no way out of this except
by areduction in the cost of necessa-
RES OF life to the consumer. If It
does not come through voluntary ac-
ton ON the part of manufacturers and
merchants, it will come through law
or the drastic war powers Of the
United States government.
Exponents of loot and plumber can
easily infer too much from the reluc-
lance Of Congress to pass Food Con-
troll Bill and from the various crook
ed expedients that have been adopt-
ed from time to time to make the net
unavoidable. Congress has not vet
heard from the country on this cues
ton of prices, but when public opin-
ion will take to the woods quicker
than the Senators and Representa-
tivcs who are now trying to beat the
Food-Control Bill. In the fear of
the wrath Of their constituents they
will go to any length in the way of
Legislation, no matter how extreme.
1t will be far better for everybody
if big business and little business
alike adopt the policy of reasonable
profits before the damage is done
and public sentiment is inflamed. The
wise business man will make his own
the motto, prices must come down."
and he will do everything he can
consistent with business solvency and
honest profits to put prices down.
