EMBARGO MODIFIED
BY THE B. & 0. R. R.
BAN LIFTED s0t44 FREIGHT MOVE.
MENT ON THE BALTIMORE
DIVISION.

The Baltimore and Ohio has noti.
fed its recent embargo in so far as
It relates to freight originating on
TIE Bal imore division and destined
for consignees within that division.
This takes in the terri DRY from
Brunswick to Baltimore and the In
termediary ines covering many por.
ions OF Maryland. As the railroad
officials said, it is more of an intra-
sta relief than an interstate open
ing. The greatest benefit will prob
ably come to the -four and grain mer-
chants who have mills within this ter.
rltory, or who are the Baltimore
agents for such mills.
Flour merchants at the Baltimore
Chamber Of Commerce were pleased
with the announcement as it permits
them TO have much flour moved which
has been tied up since the embargo
went into effect. 1t is also said that
the action may permit the moyemen.
OF much misce 'laneous freight now
held in the Brunswick yards and
which the embargo tied up.

Peace No Nearer.

There Is a general belief that the
terms announced by the President
Will be regarded by the Central Pow
ers as ''war" rlther than peace"
terms: and as such 1t does not bring
peace any nearer. The significance
and it is not denied anywhere that
the franikness OF this declaration COM
ing with such closeness on the
epeoch by Lloyd George has some
real sign fcance-is that 1T makes
plain to the world that the allies
rave a definite program OF peace
terms. that they are all in agreement
as to such a program, that they are
willing to fight to the bitter end
for such a program. and that they
are willing to have the world now
lsass Judgment as to the righteous
ness of their demands.

PAUL PICTURE.
The reading lesson may be made the
text for the entire review for it con-
tains Paul's idea of the topics studied
thru the quarter. It's first three verses
give the motive power of life and re-
veal the place of testing as within in
stead of in any outer act. Not what a
man does but why he does it is the basis
of judgment. Verses AS emphasize the
supreme enrichment of the life 80 mo-
tived. We can see the method of op-
Grafton in many German boy who
comes to US with passion for the
fatherland. But he came into the
schools, learned our ideals, gained an
intense affection for democracy, was
mastered by new devotion to brother
hood and when the great call for de-
cision came he donned khaki and
marching under the colors of his adopt
ed and now loved country, gave his life
along the Marine. The new love had
changed him from a German to an
American; and it is this process that
Paul pictures IS occurring in the soul
that falls In love with Jesus Christ.
The final verses show the permanent
values in this developed character.
Outgrown knowledge and childishness
are left behind, partial vision gives way
to full and these elements appear as
the eternal possession. This will be
good plan for either Intermediates or
adults. Two or three photographs of a
child, youth and the man or woman,
calling attention to the differences and
similarities that are in the developing
face will make good beginning. Give
a chance to declare allegiance to the
life we have studied. -:
PRIMARY TOPIC: WHAT IT MEANS To
BE A FRIEND OF JESUS.
Pictures and stories will be our equip
ment here. Wilde's or Perry's pictures
can be secured at small cost if the wall
roll is not among the tools in constant
use. Tell them of Jesus always being
our friend even when we are naughty
and some stories from His life will
make this clear. But see that it is
grasped because this is the fundamen-
tai thing to be built into the growing
hfe-the attitude of God toward us.
How do we show that we are friends
