THE IN THE
BIBLE. .

The great statesmen who are
working on the League Of Ma
tons no doubt think they are
getting up something entirely
new-something that never was
heard of before. Somebody
ought to call their attention to
Daniel 1923, which reads as
follows:
And after the league made
with him he shall work deceit
fully; for he shall come UP, and
shall become strong, with a
small people.-Daniel 1923.
There is their League actually
mentioned by name in a book
written thousands Of years ago.
If you will go back. and read
that whole eleventh chapter of
Daniel you will see that it is
talking about just such time of
wars and troubles as we are now
passing through. OF course a
critic might say that there have
been other wars and troubles
that it might apply to just as
well, but there is the word
League" which seems to be a
key to the whole situation. It
to show conclusively that
the events mentioned are to be
in a time when a League" shall
be attempted among nations
that have been at war.
No sir, they can't slip UP or
Daniel. He saw in his vision
thousands of years ago just
what they would try to do il
these days.

Oh, I tell you, folks, it just

take about that thing. It's al

absolutely certain that the God
who could make a well-balanced
universe and keep it balanced

good a workman to ever turn out

.sPOF We "HGGER'' SOME

.-@% - - 49,
expert m-athematicians to, flop
down here beside me and let's
do a little figgering, I;want to-
see if we can't get some new
light on the "helP' question, and
also on war and patriotism and
several other things.
We have recently passed
through a big war. We got our
patriotic blood stirred up and
raised a great army and sent it
TO. France, and about $4,000 or
10000 of our finest men died
there. We lean back in our easy
chairs and complacently tell our
selves that these thousands of
brave boys died to make the
world safe for demOcracy"-to
give the rest of us a. chance to
i've in peace and security in our
homes.
Granted. It was a wonderful
" big and unselfish thing for
them to do, and we would be in
CRATES if we didn't appreciate it.
But in spite of all the sugar
eoating we can give it, We know
very well that the American
army in France las well as at
home) is not composed entirely
Of saints. There is in it thous-
ands and. tens of thousands OF
men as wicked as men ever get
tohe. Idontsay thatathe army
made the men wicked; but it
simply gathered up the wicked
along with the rest and put them
In the trenches. And they died
there-thousands of them
without ever "getting religion
Or joining the church, or any of
those things that are supposed
70 save" people from going to
shell"
And SO, according to the
breeds, these brave young sol
diers who happened to be wick
ed and ungodly have every one
gone straight to an everlasting
burning he'll where they will suf-
fer unspeakable torment
through endless eternity.
And we must remember too,
that thousands of our big ortho-
dox preachers got out and
whooped it up for the war and
encouraged the boys to go and
fight and die, knowing all the
time that thousands of them
would die in their sins, and pro-
Tossing to believe that they
would certainly go to such a he'll
as that.
And now for the fggers. I an
going to show you by actua
mathematical calculations that
all the governments that ever
did or ever will exist on earth
including all the boasted "liber
ties" Of all the people who evel
did or ever will live under sucl
governments, would not b.
worth the sending of just ONE
man to that sort of a hell.
The census report for tn
year 1900 placed the total popu

there has perhaps been a 20 pc
cent increase. But I am goin,
to be VERY LIBERAL witt

be VERY Iberia and count
the population in Adams time
as big as it is now. And will
suppose that itshas never at any
time been less than that.
Next we will estimate three
generations to the century,
making $50 generations from
Adam to the present. Now If
you multiply Five Billions by
100 you get Nine Hundred Bill
lions as the total number of.
people who have ever lived on
the earth. That is probably at
least nine times too big, but we
will let it go at that:
You noticed that l counted
three generations to a century,
giving each person an average
life of thirty-three and a third
years. Now we want to get the
total number Of years of human
life represented in these figures,
-supposing them all strung out
end to end. In other words, if
there had been just that much
living to do and one man had to
do it all, how many years would
it take him to get it finished?
You can get that in two ways.
Multiply Five Billion by Six
Thousand, or multiply Nine
Hundred Billion by Thirty
Three and q Third. In each case
you get as your answer Thirty
lTrillions, OF, to express it in
figures 3O;0U0,o0u;6oo;ooD.
Iwant you to see that il ONE
man had had all that, living to
do he could get it done in
Thirty Trillions of years, and
then he. could quit. And I want
you to see that all of our earthly
governments for which men
fight and die, and all Of our
democracy" and freedom
that we boast about, would all
be represented in that mans
life. He would have experience
ed it all and enjoyed all the
good there was in it.
And now let's take that same
man-no, he's busy-let's take
another man just like him, and
put him in an endless, eternal
burning hell where he will have
to fry and sizzle and writhe and
twist in >unspeakable agony
throughout all endless eternity
I want to get you to see that il
only ONE man was ever sent tx

democracy, all the liberty, anc
all of everything else good tina
the whole human race has en-

May Allison's Trick Drink Is Weird Mixture When

Friday and Saturday.
 There was rum and gin, absinthe and whisky. reme-de-menthe and port They were all reposing on mahogany drink server serenely unconscious of the fervor they were creating among the stage hands and electricians.
 The time came for May to mix her famous cocktail. With a blind instinct she reached for a bottle. It happened to be whisky and it served as the founda- ton for the drink, Next came dash of absinthe; then some port was al- lowed to mingle with the other ingre- dients. By this time the drink was deep brown color, and gave the appear ance of very muddy water Rum, and gin followed in quick succession, and the color began to simmer (not shim. mie) to lighter hue. But nothing was to be sighted. Creme-de-m -menthe was the only bottle left on the table and it's contents were quickly added No change could be noted,
 Next came the order to shake. so May put the cover on and began. The color began to change. First it grew dark. and then it took on the hue of early dawn. Finally it began to settle, and there before the startled company it be- came a peculiar green. The Elevator Cocktail had been madel

Ny ANNA JORDAN

Such interesting letters l get. I just love to read what people want to know about my movie and theatrical friends And so many girls, asking me how to get on the stage. For a private seance they send a self-addressed envelope. And since they realize that I am also one of the Heaven protected working girls they even take the trouble to stamp it for personal reply. It is getting to be really funny, though, how many people want to know the same questions And Birmingham people are so well posted on who is who behind the footlights and on the screen4 Well here's for this week s answers.
 'BERTIE,' I wonder if you know that joke about .Rastus have done ct up little Bertie?" However. I hope he never will. You want to know if Mae Allison was married to Harold Lockwood. You heard she was divorced from him before he died. That could never be- dear child Mae says the only grass in her young life grows under her feet. She has never been married, from choice.
