A SUNDAY SERMON
"THE FRIEND OF HELPLESS CHILDREN"

!
SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN TO COME UNTO Me, AND
FORBID THEM NOT, FOR SUCH is THE KINGDOM OF
GoD"-MARK X, IA
JESUS gave to the child its place in the worlds society
With all the power of divine authority He built around the
ebes wall that has protected them through the
lagos
Before His day the child existed only by uerance 1t had
mo rights.
TWAS but counter nfintesmal atom 1t was consider
simply the property of the parent It's father had power of
death over it. The homeless dog that roams the streets
today effectively shielded from cruelty than was the
frendess child before Jesus live and die for the
weak and poor
The law had said
The parent is ruler of the child and may dispose Of
he sees fit"
But Jesus sadand these are the most beautiful and affect
ing words in all the moral law Of the world:
"Take heed that We depse of ones for
you, in their angels always behold
face of my Father which in MATTHEW xviii TO-

is impossible to conceive the horrid indifference to
chldhoods rights which preceded the birth of Christianity
Infancde not the exception but settled custom
So much that Rome the exposure of children in desert
places almost virtue since gave the child slight
chance of surviving
Not few but thousands and tens of thousands of children
thus exposed They fell prey to wild beasts the
human beasts still erocous who took the children to
make slaves criminals of them.
Every should study with and reverence the sad
lonely misunderstood life of Jesus the friend Of children He
had home and for companions only few humble fishermen
to whom He spoke in simple parallels, as to children.

this chdess homeless Man that ever used His mar

It He who gave children their definite share in the
kingdom of God.
Before his coming the wisdom Of the world devoted
telling the chids its duty.
But Jesus explained to grown their duty toward child

The family life was His ideal
All men His brothers, and, with Him. sons of God.
The loving kindness shown by God toward helpless and
women they should show to helpless children.
Neither the rights the wisdom of children must be de-
spised:

Wherever Jesus went children followed Him. and the tint
est little SOUL in its mothers lettering along in wide
eyed curiosity, could arrest His loving attention.
How beautiful is the picture that the Bible story presents
to the mind!
Jesus at Capemaum the sunny shore Of the Sea of
Galilee.
The Dcpessmpe honest men, often excited at to pre-
cedence and filled with deep longing stand first the Mas
ter's esteem-ask Him:
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?Matthew
xviii, /.
Around them is gathered the typical Oriental group and
many oive-sknned women, with their children:
"And Jesus called little child Him. and sat him in the
midst of them and said: Verify you,
converted and become little children shall

whatsoever therefore, shall humble himself this little
child, the is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And who shall receive such little child in my

uttered there be found only love for them No threats

ports over imports by more than $685.

large, being, for the eight months Pc
rod, over $1,000 100000. For the
twelve months ending with February
it was more than S3,000,000,000. On
account Of the exchange Of credits be-
tween this country and those allied
with it in the war, there Is no exact
way of accounting for these figures.

ONE WHO KNOWS

A rare opportunity will be present
ed the people of Wheeling this evening
to hear the truth about men and meas
ures in the European war, and The
Intelligencer trusts they will appreci-
ate this fact by greeting Mr.. Isaac F.
Marcossan with an overflow audience.
Mr.. Marcossan needs no Introduction
to the intelligent readers of this city.
for they already are acquainted with
him through his marvelously well writ
ten articles on the war that have ap-
peared in various publications Of the
country. Although he lectures for the
benefit of the Red Cross we do not
urge attendance on that account so
much. worthy as 1t is, as We know that
those who attend will not only be en-
tertained, but enriched In those de-
tails of the war they have not yet been
informed upon.
= The privileges that Mr.. Marcossan
has enjoyed in close contact with all
the large figures in this great conflict,
both statesmen and soldiers, will give
authority to what he has to say on
Economic and Business Side Of the
War" This subject should appeal to
us strongly at this time. when we are
at the beginning Of the Liberty Loan
campaign

DOLLARS CALLED TO CoLoRS

& The fame Of enthusiasm, of awak-
snsd patriotic zeal that was lit on Sat
Efo2y by the launching Of the Third
Liberty Loan campaign has swept
ever the whole country, showing that
he people have at last come to full
ena1ixation Of what this war means for
rs. There is only one deduction to
~ drawn from these wonderful dem
pnstrations. and that is the early and
sArge oyersubscription OF the loan Of
tfsred. There are good reasons for
this conclusion. During the two pre-
Hious campaigns We were only pre-
paring for war. Now We are actually
init, although we are just beginning
To hight in the sturdy, determined,
American way. But our national tenn
per Is rising with every dispatch from
france which tells of our thin line
cpntending brayely and successfully
with the enemy, whose atrocities and
bad faith forced us into the conflict
~ The conspicuous sign of the aroused
American spirit is the number OF
small communities that reported
of their quota early
In the first day Of the campaign. That
shows that this loan will be held by
a. larger number of subscribers, and
that means that a greater number OF
people will be more directly inter-
ested as partners with the govern
meut in the prosecution Of the war.
There were more than 100000 sub
soribers to the last Liberty loan, and
SWe should not be surprised to see
that number doubled in the present
instance. The more widely dtstrib-
uted this loan is the more successful

LEGISLATION DOESN'T HELP

According to a summary statement
of the bureau Of foreign and domestic
commerce Of the Department OF Com
MERGE, for the month Of February and
eight months OF the current fiscal year,
trade shows no great change as the re-
suit of recent legislation affecting the
value of imports and exports. The
value Of imports. for instance. for the
single month was s2o7.7o4. 24S. This is
more than for the same month in any
preceding year, but less by more than
$26, 100000 than for the preceding
month OF January. The highest reached
in any month Of the last calendar year

DANGEROUS COMPETITION

We can't blame the Japanese for
getting all the trade they can in this
country, but we can blame the Demo
cratic party for allowing them to do 1t
at the expense Of American industry
and labor. That japanese competition
is dangerous to our brush industry is
the claim made by manufacturers who
appeared before the Tariff Commits
sion recently. This is denied by i'm
porters Of Japanese brushes. and as
our. Tariff Commission is notably one
of free trade proclivities, the odds are
that the assertions Of the importers
will be emphasized to the detrlment OF
the American brush industry.
Some OF the statements made at this
hearing BY the importers, who natu-
rally would like to escape the payment
of all duties on the Japanese goods
they handle, are pretty weird. For
instance, ". B. Gibson, American selh
ing agent for the Royal Brush Compa-
ny OF Japan, declared that there was
no occasion to fear Japanese labor,
as that kind of labor was the worst in
the world, and was totally unreliable
Manufacturers also complained at the
hearing that the Japanese are trying
to get control of the briste market IN
China and Siberia, and if successful 1t
would raise hob with our brush indus
try.
Importer Gibson's statement as TO
the reliability Of Japanese labor is a
novel one. 1t has been their intense
industry, reliability and acceptance OF
low wages which have made their com
petition in the labor market on the Pa
cifc coast so keen that organized Ia
Dor wants them kept out. But why
should organized labor be quiescent
with respect to the products 70 Japa-
oese labor swarming in under a Demo
cratic tariff law? Statistics OF our Inn
ports Of brushes are very unsatis1ac,
tory. They are all grouped under the
title. brushes, feather busters and
hair pencils" The Democrats made a
reduction of 121s per cent Of the Re
publican duty, despite grist OF evil
dence as to why they should not, and
there was an immediate increase In
importation following the passage OF
the law. Last year nearly 100000
dozen brushes came here from Kobe,
japan, alone, and while before the
war France, Germany and England
supplied 70 per cent. of our brush I'M
ports, to-day Japan holds 80 per cent
of that trade. competition being chief
~ in toilet brushes. If she succeeds IN
getting control of the brisle market
an American industry producing $15'-
100000 worth of goods annually in
normal times, and employing several
hundred laborers, will be kissed fond
farewell under the Democratic tarin
policy.
