HOW TO THINK
THROUGH THE BIBLE
by the REV. CHARLEs sTELzIE

ny thc nINs SHhnbES SlELkIEs.
Staff Writer on Religious Topics.
Have you ever tried to master the
main facts in any book of the Bible
book rs you would an interesting
story. fitting In the chief characters
and events just where they belong?
To do SO successfully It Is necessary
to read the book again and again.
until you discover the key thought
which runs through it. Each chapter
stands out in your mind because of
some striking fact which it contains.
Then you will find that other inter-
esting things in the book will reveal
themselves, and soon you will dis
cover why the Bible is like no other
book ever written. You can exhaust
most books in a single reading. but
you will discover some new thing
every time you read the Bioie.
Study the Gospel by John, for ex-
ample. of which an outline has been
prepared by DIR. Wilbert w. White.
He calls this gospel. THE heart Of
the heart of the Bible" the gospels
as a whole being the heart"
Each chapter is given a special
name-and this is how you'll remem-
Der the chief fact in each of the chap
ters. But Il you prefer another name
because something else strikes you
AS more important. it's better to use
the name you have given the chapter.
1t then becomes your chapter.
DR.. White calls attention to the fact
that the gospel by John contains a
prologue" an introduction, found In
the first eightesR- verses of the first
chapter; also that there's an 'epi-
logue.' or postscript, consisting of the
last chapter.
Beneath the chapter studies are
eleven striking series of facts:
Key verses, key words. the words of
a believer. and of a doubter-John and
Ihomas-the comparison between the
words "unbelief" and belief" the
record Of the time when certain events
took place. the periods of the public
and private manifestations of Jesus,
two sentences of Jesus showing the
change in His position. the periods
of time in Jesus manifestations, the
attitude Of certain groups toward
Jesus. the record of His miracles, the
places in which the events recorded In
the chapters took place.
Other words or events NAV easily
De aided, but here is a typical study
wh1ch may be made of most Of the
DOCKS OF the Bible. although each
book must be handled in a special
way.
Here are some of the more simple
books In the Bible which may be
studied IN outline: Esther, Daniel,
Amos. Jonah. Mark. Acts. Philemon.
James. First Peter. First John.

Many OF the cases which are di-
agnosed as rheumatism are merely

from the continued growth Of thsl

cesses in a good condition.
This means the observance Of the
rules OF hygiene. adequate food.

Of sufficient sleep and the like.
Above all. the teeth should he

mouth kept clean.
1t is the duty OF persons whs
have colds 10 take every precautucn
against transmitting them TO others.
The agency in the Transmission
Of colds from one person TO another
is the sputum and this transfer
fence may occur directly by sneez-
ing, coughing or eNpectorating.
Some one has called the cold the
strap-hangers disease because of
the frequency with which IL is con-
trscted in overcrowded street cars.
People with colds should either
destroy the handkerchiefs which
they use or steriliIe them by boIl-I
ing them.
II you do not want to give your>
cold to somebody else. hold your
handkerchief or your hand over
your face when you cough or
sneeze. and do not indulge in pro-
miscuous splitting.

SHANTuNC WILL
BE GIVEN BACK
WITHIN A YEAR
Negotiations to be Opened
Within a Few Months, De-
clares Jap Diplomat.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Restitution
of the province of Shantung to emma
by Japan within a year was predicted
here today by Yosuke Matsuoka secre-
tary in the foreign department OF
Japan, and a member of the Japanese
peace delegation. Mr.. Matsuoka has
just arrived here from Paris on his
way to Japan.
Il should not be at all surprised"
he said, 'if our government opened
within a very few months, or even a
few weeks, negotiations with the Chi
nese government with view to set
ting the Shantung question in a way
satisfactory to all concerned.
In a statement on the Shantung
question, Mr.. Matsuoka said:
ITO those of us who have partc1-
pated in the peace conference, there
is not the shadow of doubt that Japan
will withdraw from Shantung at the
earliest possible moment. The peace
treaty requires Germany to hand over
to Japan all the documents relative to
Shantung within three months after
the treaty comes into force. When
this is done Japan will Immediately
take steps toward the restitution
which Japan has pledged herself to
make in favor Of China.
Terms of Restitution.
The terms on which japan will
restitute Shantung are now fairly well
known to the world. Briefly stated,
the main points of these terms are:
Il. Japan Is to restore Kiauchow,
the German-leased territory, to China.
%. In returning Kiauchow to Chi
ma, Japan, in the interest OF all
nations, asks only one thing, namely,
that the territory be open to 1nterna.
tional trade. 1t is only as a natural
oorollery of this proposed measure
that Japan also desires to establish
an international, not a Japanese, set
tlement-in the city of Tsingtao. In
the Chino-Japanese agreement OF May
Is, 1915, a Japanese settlement was
to have been established in addition
to an International one, but Viscount
Uchida, our foreign minister declared
on Aug. 6 last, that Japan would waive
the right to establish a Japanese set
tlement.
80. Japan will withdraw all hel
troops not only from the railway zone
but from Tsingtao. After the restitu
ton of Kiauchow not a single Jap
anese soldier will be left on the soil
of Shantung.
"a. The Shantung railway Of &c
miles will be operated not by Jap
enese, but by a Chino-Japanese joint
CORPORATION in which both japanese
and Chinese capital will be represent
ed. or course China will participate
in the management of this railway.
IS. Japan will withdraw her police
forces from along the railway and en-
trust the Chinese authorities with the
policing Of that region.
