Gentiles until those times are fulfilled.
For more than nineteen centuries it has
been trodden under foot. At the close
of the Russio- Turkish war, several of
the great powers of Europe met in
Berlin to settle the dispute. Lord
Beaconsfield refused to sign the treaty
unless the powers consented to insert a
clause, granting religious liberty to
Palestine. To this they agreed and the
door was opened that Israel might be
permitted to reside there and be
protected by law, the same as any
other race. Beaconsfeld was a
Jew. The Lord Jehovah raised up
Disraeli, lord Beaconsfeld) to be
Prime Minister of England and through
him the doors have been opened for
1srael's return to the land of their
fathers. Jerusalem has fallen into the
hands of the Allies and they will give it
to the Jews. who will be restored in un-
belief. But when they get back and their
national life is restored, then the end Of
our age is almost here. 1t looks as if
the time of the Gentiles is nearly run.
Jerusalem will be the capital Of the
government of the new age. 1t Jill be
known as the place of glory Tor the
earth. Isaiah AS, 6; "a: lila; so; IL
%.
We are living in wonderful times.
Surely we have never seen such before.
nor has the world experienced such
times frought with the gravest conse-
quences, 1t may be that final con-
summation of the age is about to be
realized. 1t cannot be far in the future,
and how grand for the church, yes, and
what blessed thing it would be for the
world if this were true. 1t would mean
universal peace and righteousness with
Jesus the acknowledged and crowned
king.
What part shall you, my reader and
friend, have in this greatest event of
the world, excepting the first coming
of Jesus as Saviour of the world. Shall
we be among those who are caught up
to be with the Lord and so escape the
awful tribulation or shall we be left to
pass through it and endure such suf-
fering as has never been before nor
ever shall be on earth. We may escape
that, but it can only be and must be
through the name that is above every
name, the name of Jesus. Acceptance
of and service for Him insures US a
place with Him. HIS children, His
church, will be safe and we enter His
family by faith. o, III be sure to do
that before He comes, says one. You
do not know that you will live to see
that glorious hour, and even if you
should. YOU will not know the day or
hour of His coming.
For the Christian that will mean
glOrification. For the Jew restoration.
but for the unbeliever it will mean
judgment. Things look dark now, but
there is light above the clouds. A boat
full of passengers was going down the
st. Lawrence river at full speed, al
though dense fog had settled oyer the
boat. The passengers were frightened
and complained to the mate. O, said
he, don't be afraid The fog lies low,
but the captain is above the fog and can
see where we are gong. You are safe,
our Captain is above the fog that is so
thick about US and He will guide US
safely and we shall find ourselves by
and by anchored in the haven of eternal
rest, and we will be with our Master,
glorified with Him.

FISK UNIVERSITY MOZART
SOCIETY.

The Song of Hiawatha" which is
to be sung by the Mozart Society
April 26th at $3.50 o'clock in Fisk
Memorial Chapel, is story by Long
fellow, told in verse, hav<hg for its
hero, Hiawatha, a boy and man of
wonder, in the traditions of the Indian
tribes of the north.
Coleridge Taylor was attracted by
the story, the peculiar rhythm of the
poetry, and by the curious names of
the characters, which he would roll
out with intense appreciation of
their sound values. 1.-THE essential
beauty of the poem," he said, sis
its naive simplicity, unaffected ex-

committed the poem to memory, and
lived with the words until they be-

tains the following very interesting
statistics. | am quoting briefly from
his article:
Commercial statistics and my own
experiences of more than twelve years
in the bankruptcy court proved that
out of every hundred men in business
today, about twenty-five will fail
within five years, Fifty will fail in
ten years, and in twenty years less
than a dozen will have succeeded out
of the original one hundred.
"If nine out of ten fail, what as
surance have you that you will be
the lucky tenth?
"The life of the retail business is
reported to be only six years" And
again his article proceeds as follows:
Very often the man who paid cash
for his first stock makes subsequent
purchases on credit. Money realiz-
ell from the sale of the first goods
enables him to meet bills for the other
and have some left over. He thinks
what is left over is profit, but most of
it is original investment. Little by
little he lives up to his first invest
ment entirely and gets further and
further in debt. Then the awakening
comes with a crash.
Don't just think you are making
money-get the facts, for that sup
posed profit may actually be loss.

WIN THE WAR BY WORKING SIX
DAYS PER WEEK.

The time worn custom of observing
Saturday, or part of it, as a holiday
has almost become law in the
South, especially among farmers.
At a meeting of the Negro farm
demonstration agents for the State
of Alabama, held March 20, 81, %,
at Tuskegee Institute, the following
resolutions were adopted unanimous
ly:
Whereas, our country is in the
midst of a worldwide war, the most
gigantic in all history, it therefore
becomes necessary that our people
living in the rural districts, many of
whom do not realize that we are real
.lY at war, be aroused to the serious
ness of the stuggle; and
Whereas, every agency should be
utilized to arouse our people and
secure the cooperation of the white
landlords and merchants; therefore
be it
Resolved that the colored farm
demonstration agents working in the
state of Alabama from themselves
into an organization to be known as
the gu. S. (Uncle Sam's) Saturday
Service League" and that campaign
throughout the State be instituted to
conserve farm labor to help meet the
Unprecedented demand on the nation
in supplying the much needed food
and feed stuffs for ourselves and our
allies.
To change this practice is indeed
no easy task, yet to allow such to ex-
list at time when our Government
is taking hundreds of thousands of
the best laborers off the farms, is
nothing less than criminal.
In order to successfully carry on
this propaganda we must have the
confidence and secure the co-opera-
ton of all the people. For example,
first in order to make up the def
cheney in farm labor, the farmers
will have to work longer hours and
six days per week. Second, the
landlords will be called upon to in
crease wages. Third, the merchants
will have to fore-go some of the usual
Saturday trade. Unless the three
above agencies coordinate, it is
realized that every little can be ac-
complished.
The method adopted by the U. s.
Saturday Service League for further
ing this propaganda, throughout the
State, is through posters, registra-
ton cards and service badges Every
ten or fifteen days a series of sug-
gestive posters are issued. For in
stance. the two posters issued this
week are as follows
