address to the reichstag~promised that
body it would be made responsible for
war and peace. He added the prori-
sion, however, that such step will
not become effective until after the
war when league Of nations is in
practical operation.
Peace conversations between Ber-
lin and Washington have reached a
critical point, according to Prince Max
imilian, speaking before the reichstag
yesterday.
In the course Of his address he urged
that debate on the situation arising in
exchange of notes between himself and
President Wilson be restricted as much
as possible.

though Il seemed like zeal for the
Lord, and jealousy for his cause. How
common The word Is now, or something
similar to 1t. "He followeth not u.s."
And the same spirit is all too manifest I:
Let us forbid him. or disapprove Of him.
or talk him down, because he docs not
see as we do, or fellowship with US.
Oh, to have more OF his spirit who
said, "Forbid him not, for he that is
not against us Is on our part" What
surprises there will be when he who
Judgeth righteously shall reward every
one according to his work, and not
even a cup of cold water given in his
name shall have lost its reward.
The remaining verses of our lesson
chapter (42-50) are among the most
awful on record, and three times he
mentions hell, and the fire that never
shall be quenched. He alone knows
what 1t means and he does not want us
to know, for he is not willing that any
should perish. 1t was not prepared for
us, but for the devil and his angels
(Matt. 25:41). but wherever it is and
whatever 1t is, II must be awfully real.
Perishing must be an indescribably
fearful thing for God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten
Son that whatsoever believeth In him
should not perish. but have everlasting
life.' When we try to think what II
must have meant to him TO give up his
Son to suffer In our stead. and what 1t
must have meant to his Son to give up
the glory which he had with the Father
before the world was, and to sojourn
about thirty-four years In a mortal
body, as poor man. In world which
he had made, but which would not own
him nor receive him; despised and re-
1ected OF men, a man Of sorrows and
acQuaintedswith grief. wounded for our
transgressions. bruised for our iniqui-
ties, bearing our sins IN his own body,
all that we might not perish-then we
must conclude that to perish must be a
truly awful thing. The reality of the
torment of the'lost may be better imag-
ined from the description In Rev.
14:10, IL, and yet there are those who
say there is no hell, thus making light
of the love Of God and the anguish
of Gethsemane, and Calvary, and max

housekeeping Hints

Washing floors is often the most
dreaded of all household work, as the
knees become sore through the posi-
ton "a woman must take. If two
pieces of soft cloth are folded in sew
eral thicknesses and placed over the
knees, under the stockings, the relief
experienced will be great. The stock
ing will keep the. pads in place. Then,
equipped with a pail of warm water,
a soft clean cloth, tin plate contain
ing laundry and securing soaps, and
a piece Of a broken clothespon for
scraping obstinate spots, woman
need have no fear Of any floor, how
ever rough.
Cleaning spiral bedsprings has al
ways been a trial for the housekeeper.
1t may, however, be easily accom-
plished if she uses a dish mop, and
keeps one just for that purpose. Get
the dust out of the springs first with
the dry mop, then dampen the mop
and go over the metal second time.
In cleaning kitchen walls a little
kerosene added to each pail of warm
soapsuds (about a cupful to each
pail will make the work easier. This
has been found especially good for
walls that have finish in imitation
of tiles. Do not use hot water, as it
is apt to leave a notified appearance.
Oil your castors once in while and
see how much more easily large pieces
of furniture may be moved. Do this
at any rate at housekeeping time, and
take care to wipe off any superfous
oil, not only because it would collect
dirt if allowed to remain, but also be-
cause it might drip little and stain
the carpets or rugs.
When washing windows add small
quantity of bluing to the water and
the windows will be improved in ap-
pearance.
Wash woolens by hand and in wa
ter not too hot-say about 10S de-
grees-and you never will have them
shrink or look bad. Use a good, pure
soap to wash them, making a lather,
and rubbing some soap on the gar
ments if there are spots. Rinse in
water of the same temperature as
that in which you washed the articles.
Before hanging them up to dry shake
them well, and while they are drying
shake them again. Many of the best
wooden, like baby sacques and blan-
kets, will look like new if this plan is
followed. Do not iron them; and
when ironing other woolens, like un-
der flannels, use only a moderately
warm iron.
Add a cupfm Of cooked rice to a
meat loaf. 1t will make the meat go
much farther.

Great Britain, which is rapidly APP
preaching a system Of food rationing,
still wastes millions Of tons of grain
in the brewing of beer. The food
queues at the shops are a striking
feature Of English city and town life.
Lord Rhondda, the British food COM
missioner, has said that these lines of
people seeking to buy food and ex-
tending from the shop doors across
the sidewalk must stop and stop i'm
mediately." The London Sunday
School Chronicle commenting upon
this, says: "We wish the resolve could
be applied to the drink queues as
well. The latter enlist no sympathy
and most people would approve the
action of the police at Newport
(Wales) in dispensing one last week
and not allowing 1T to reassemble.
Why should we tolerate the sight of
long string of miserable women
wailing TO buy whiskey that debases
and impoverishes them?"
The problem of drunkenness among
women is much more a British than
an American question of good order
and good living. Nevertheless, the
English conditions are not without
hope. The Chronicle quotes paper
read by Lord d'Abernon at the In
stitute of Public Health, in which he
shows that public drinking among
women, in spite of the fact that the
enormous increase Of wage workers
among women has put spending
money into their hands. Convictions
for drunkenness have steadily declin-
ed, Lord d'Abernon says, and there
is considerable decline also in sick
ness and mortality from alcoholism.
This progress is due in part to the
restricted measures applied to the
sale of alcohol, but also to construc-
tive measures which provide oppor-
tunities for non-alcoholic refresh
ment, so that there has been consid-
cradle progress toward a higher
standard of sobriety. STEADY wages,
constant occupation, and an indepen-
dent, self-supporting career have de-
veloped the best qualities in women.
have increased their self-respect and
self-control, and have been profound
ly beneficial" 1t is not at all likely
that England will consent to go back
to social or economic conditions as
they existed before the war. This
English progress toward sobriety is
another proof of the fact that the
enlarg ng political and economic in
flucnce of women will ultimately, and
perhaps almost Immediately, insure
the suppression Of the public sale of
alcoholic liquors in all English
speaking countries.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

Repeatedly Christ told them that he
should suffer and be killed. and rise
again the third day (vss. 30-32), but I
know Of no one who believed 1t except
Mary of Bethany. They had other
thoughts than his and therefore could
not receive his words. This Is no doubt
the reason why so many today cannot
receive the teaching concerning his
coming again to set up his kingdom
on this earth. They have their own
thoughts concerning the kingdom being
within us. and that we are here to win
the world to Christ. and other tradi-
tons whereby the word Of God Is made
void, and they know not the thoughts
Of the Lord. Paul says, by the spirit,
that Christ died for our sins according
TO the Scriptures and that he was
buried, and that he rose again the third
day according to the Scriptures Il Cor.
1873, A., meaning the writings In the
Old Testament; but how few seem to
see these truths In type, and In plain
statement. In Gen. %; Elk. IL; Lev.
Is; Ps. %; lisa. So; and elsewhere.
1t might be said to many today, as well
as to those In his day, "Ye know not
the Scriptures, nor the power Of God"
Pride and ambition were among the
sins Of the disciples then as now, for
as they journeyed they had been dis
putting as to who should be the great
est (vss. 33-37). BY little child whom
he took In his arms, and set I'm the
midst of them. he. taught them the
great lesson of lowliness and humility.
When, on the last passover night there
was a strife among them as to who
should be the greatest, he called their
attention to the fact that he was among
them as one who served (Lu. % :24-27).
Ambition to be somewhat is from the
devil who told Eve that II she obeyed
him she would be as God. and this was
his own sin (Gepp 3 %; lisa. 4:13, 14).
Jeremiah's advice to his scribe Baruch
was good, "Seekest thou great things
