Valentine day. February II, will be a

Chamber of Commerce is carried out.
The next edition of the Booster, offl-

The chambers suggestion is that q
plain card be used instead of the elab-
crate iace-trimmed valentines and that
a slit be made in the card for the in-
sertion of the war savings stamp. Sew
eral verses to accompany this war

FEW GERMAN SUBMARINES
ACTIVE UNTIL Recently
Associated Press Correspondent Says
Number in War on Commerce Has
Been "Surprisingly Small"

NEW YORK, February s.-The num-
ber Of German submarines working at
any one time at commerce destroying

Gently been surprisingly small. accord
ing to reliable information received by
a correspondent of the Associated Press
recently returned to the United States
from Europe During the early part
of the winter the number Of submarine
raiders at work In the xons varied
from twelve to maximum of eighteen.
1t was then expected. however; that the
Germans would endeavor to increase
| this number. largely as . threat to the
American troop Transports, and that
they might by this time be able to in
crease this maximum to thirty boats
These estimates did not include the
smaller "egg planters" or mine-laying
submarines.

a description OF mine-laying operations
conducted only a short distance from
that port. The African liner Apapa,
sunk in December. was torpedoed only
forty miles from her destination

For the protection OF the public health certain
laws must not only be recognized but obeyed. In
pursuance OF this tact our state and city author-
ties; cooperating with the council of defense,
have closed our churches together with other
places of public gatherings. That this course is
right regardless of any criticism that NAV be
offered, will appear on a moments reflection. A
short study of the laws with which life has to do,
will not be inappropriate at this time
A historical notice will introduce the subject.
A few years ago, our great government under
took the construction of the Panama canal, the
greatest engineering feat of the ages 1t was
looked upon by some, as an undertaking that
might not shed luster on our great name, mas
much the zone was regarded as so very un-
healthful: The country remembered that the
French had died like sheep with the murrain"
during their experience there. America put her
hands to the plow, and after the expenditure of
vast sums Of money, actual work of construction
began after two years. This previous eXpendl-
ture of large sums was that malaria in all it's
forms, might be conquered. We won,, and as
result this country was made as healthful as one
of our most fortunate states. By the same hand
of genius Havana Cuba was made delightful
city for habitation, with bad death rate behind
her: So was Memphis Tenn. and New Orleans.
All the result of sanitation. No one will hardly
question this fact 1t seems strange that an
argument must be made to convince the most
skepical mind:
This leads to another statement which has to
dowith Religion. Laws of hygiene, like all other
laws, are Divine laws To be in harmony with
these laws is to be in harmony with God. To be
out of harmony with these laws is to be out of
harmony with God If one disobeys any of these
laws he must suffer the consequences of such vlo-
lation. For instance, if the body is not properly
clothed in the cold winter weather, sickness is
apt to come, pneumonia and often death. What
soldier would think of entering the deathly Ger
man gas without his mask? Is there any one who
could believe that the result would not be fatal?
Perfect love may cast out the fear of death, but
it does not, nor never has, prevented DEATH
Medical science tells us that the influenza is
an infectious, if not contagious disease. So is
smallpox, scarlet fever and various other maa-
dies 1t tells us that the disease is communicated
by the close contact of people in crowds, as
would naturally be expected. Medical science,
of which there is not nobler says isolate as

to the authorities of the city the churches, which
bring people together, just as theaters, schools,
etc, gladly respond, and say they will do so. To
presume and say that because people meet to
worship, that they must have special dispensa-
ton of his providence in miraculous interference,
is to 60 so far that the marvellous lesson taught
us by Jesus in his supreme temptation, is remem-
bered. This record of his teaching will be found
in the fourth chapter of Matthew Jesus was
asked to hurl himself from the pinnacle of the
temple, Satan quoting scripture: IF thou be the
Son of God, cast thySelf down, for it is written,
He shall give his angels charge concerning thee;
and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest
at any time thou shalt dash thy foot against a
stone." Jesus said unto him: 1t is written again.
Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God" Jesus
here teaches that to perform an unnecessary
miracle in violation of natural laws would be to
tempt the Lord. God, the author of law, must
needs be obedient to law. 1t is putting it plainly
but right: God can't do some things To do them
would be to contradict his law, and this he will
not do. 1t may be asked if God could grow corn
on desert? He cannot, because it contradicts
the law of plant life 1t takes moisture sunshine
and cultivation to raise corn. The desert is void
of moisture. Hence corn cannot grow.
We can see Gods reason for it, if we shall try.
God is supremely interested in the development
of his creature, man. Primarily he wants to make
men. Idleness does not make men. 1t is hard la
Dor that develops character. by the sweat of
his brow man shall eat bread" This is wise
law of God. Again take medical science. What
a wondrous advance has been made in recent
years, in surgery, the serums, the TOXINS preven-
tive medicine, ETC.; etc. See what typhoid serum
has done for our army In these marvellous dis
coveries what host of noble men God has de-
veloped. 1t is Gods planlto make men. This is
his chief concern. If crops could be grown by
answer to prayer, if disease could be treated by
answer to prayer, if the forces of nature could be
harnessed by answer to prayer, who is so brave
to say that the world would not be infinitely
poorer? The loss that would come to the world
through these men who have Thought Gods
thoughts after him" could not be estimated.
They have become like him about whom they
have thought, as they have followed his stately
steppings through this wonderful world of order
and of law. To seek then for God is not only to
find him and his law, but in the search man is
found-is developed.
Itmay be asked in this connection where Fear
comes in and what are its benefits TO the world?
