When They Awake.

There is going to be a quaking,
:. And a powerful awaking,
And the old dry bones will rattle in
that day;
Oh, you may be dead and rotten,
But you will not be forgotten
In the morning when the mists have
rolled away.
There will be/some great surprises
When the human family rises
And beholds the shining glory of the
Lord;
There will be no more complaining
When the King of kings is reigning,
And He gives to every servant his re-
ward.
Some will be surprised at learning
That there is no endless burning
For the poor bewiIdered sinners who
have died;
But the love of God extending
Through eternity unending,
Till the longing of the race is salts
fled.
Somehow cropping in their blindness
Will then marvel at the kindness
Or a God SO vastly kinder than their
creeds;
They will bowtheir heads and won
der
How they made SO great a blunder
In their estimate of how the Bible
reads.

Dear Sir;

Skeptics cannot understand hon.

wise and all power TODD as He pleased.
Truly to reason on this line is to
doubt. The Bible presents no such
idea of the, Creator, but praises and
glorifies His holy character. The truth
stamps popular Christianity as bias
phemy and error.
A few facts: Everybody goes to hell.
The Savior went there. Righteous Job
actually prayed to go to hell. Why?
Because hell is the grave, or death
condition, in which good and bad
alike remain tilt the resurrection day.
The Hebrew word "sheol" is pos
itively the only hell word in the Old
Testament. Its Hebrew definition
is: "The unseen state; the place of
the dead y It occurs IS times, and no.
where is the word "fire" associated
with il.
Solomon says: "There is no work,
nor knowledge, nor device, nor wis
dom in Sheol (hell) whittier thou
goest." Why? Because all in hell are
dead. Referring to the resurrection,
Rev. 2e:13 says: "Death working
in mankind) and hell (the grave) de-
livered up the dead (not the living)

"Sheol" in the Old Testament is
Translated only 25 times ''hell," three
times pit" and 80 times grave.
In the Revised Version "sheol' is
translated 'hell" only about 20 times
out Of 65, and it's Greek equivalent,
"Hades," in the New Testament
(1t times) is not translated "hell' at

Only 16 out of. e6 Bible books men

Ruth, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Jere

Micah, Nahum, Zephania, Haggal

of falling into that eternal agon.

IS THIS THE WAY ID TREAT MEN OF NATIONAL ARMY? Soldier Discharged From Camp Upton Unable to Se-

 FROM BRIDGEPORT Application at Several Large
 Shops Fails to Secure i Him Work.

Can soldiers drafted from Bridge port and now honorably discharged from the service get work in Bridge port?
 If the experience of one soldier told today to a Times representative is typical it would seem that they can- not.
 This soldier, who was resident of Bridgeport until drafted, was dis charged last Tuesday from the Depot Brigade at Camp Upton, and at once returned to his home in this city. To- day he told his experience to a Times representative.
 In full uniform, he said, he had made application for work as a tool maker, his occupation before entering shops in the city. In none was he given any encouragement as to future employment, notwithstanding his uni form
 Previous to his entry into service he had been employed in a small ma chine shop in the East End which was doing contract work for the Rem ington Arms. This contract has now been cancelled, and his former em- ployer has let nearly all of his men go. He said he is sorry he is at pres ent unable to offer employment. 1 Applications were made at the Rem ington Arms, the American Chain Co.,, The Smith & Egge Co.,, J. P. Smith,

Like previous reports 1t is a long, shocking record of brutality and cal lous neglect. A typical extract from testimony given by prisoners who es- capped to British or French lines, follows:
 Several prisoners died of starva- tion at Ramcourt. Later deaths or starvation became even more numer- ous. When I left Bazancourt about 15O men were suffering badly from dysentery and half of them were mere living skeletons. There was ! lot of sickness at Cappey caused from lack of food and exposure. No at tempt was made to remedy these conditions"
 Large numbers of prisoners no longer fit to work behind the Ger man lines were sent to Heilsberg East Prussia, or Trelon, in Prussian Poland. A witness, describing the ar rival of about 800 of these prison CTS at Heilsberg early in October says they were mostly stretcher cases and were taken to the hospital, bu many of those sent to the camp were so weak they could hardly walk. Ht saEs youths of 20 looked like mer 40 years old.

We'll Known Man
 Dies in LynbrOOk

Bridgeport has had since its incor- poration few citizens better known to the mass of the population, oI more identified with public life than John N. Near, whose death at 79 years occurred at the home of his son, Lynbrook, L. l., Saturday.
 Many years ago he was a printer with the Bridgeport Farmer. In time he operated one of the largest job printing establishments in the state, and hpd for a period the con tract for printing time tables for the New Haven railroad, and other large contracts for printing from the same corporation.
 The property was located on Mid dle street and afterward passed into the control of a company controlled by William H. Marigold.
 MT. Near was twice a candidate for mayor on the Democratic ticket. He served as a member of the board of police commissioners, and during one term was a member of the House, in the General Assembly.
 In later years his i'll luck followed him. He was stripped of his means and reduced to difficult circun. stances His last important task was given to him when he was be- yond seventy years of age. He was for some time janitor of the Police and Emergency building, Fairfield avenue. He is survived by one son During all his life time, in good fortune as in evil, MT. Near retained a never failing optimistic philosophy | He was a man who made friends I and one who enjoSed the companion ship of friends.

INTERVIEW OF
 GROWN PRINCE
 CAUSES ANGER

Munich. Friday, Dec. 6.-By the Associated Press. The interview with Frederick William, the former German crown prince, obtained by the Associated Press was published here in part today and has drawn out displays of anger from the local press.
 If the former crown prince really made such statements he has done his reputation a bad service" says the Neueste Nachrichten. His be- lated excuses and attempts to clear himself make such a disgusting i'm pression that no one will need to grieve over his flight to Holland"
 The Augsburg Evening Gazette, commenting on the conviction eX- pressed by the eX-crown prince. that President Wilson would be able to bring about a peace of justice for Germany, remarks that-it fears Fred erick William is badly misled.
