MESSAGE OF DR. WE|TH
ON JESUS, THE IDEAL
Man DELIVERED F|RS I
P PRESBYTERIAN CH j R CH

Men are disappointing TO each
other. No sooner do we become well
acquainted with some one, than we
realize some defects and flaws. II
man cannot find flaws in himself, he
can be sure that his wife can. Even
the greatest men have defects, Soc
rates seems almost perfect but his
wife, Xantippe would not have been
rated as a tartar had he been an
gelic. Peter was far from a perfect
man, he not only deceived his master
in a moment of weakness, but later
in life he again showed weakness OF
character at Antioch Paul, the brave
and jealous apostle was unfair and
impatient and quarreled with his best
friend over wrong cause. John
Calvin, was gloomy and John Knox
hard. while Luther was narrow to-
ward Zwingli.
Jesus--the Faultless Man
But Jesus was the faultless man.
He defied his enemies to convict
Him of sin. They could accuse Him
of nothing but blasphemy because
He claimed equality with God. No
sin or fault was ever charged against
Him. Though constantly accompan-
led by women, who ministered to Him,
no breath of scandal was ever whis-
pered against him.
He was absolutely unselfish. With
all power of miracle, He never per-
formed a miracle in His own behalf.
THE foxes have holes and the birds
Of the air have nests. but the son Of
man hath nowhere to lay his head. "
Yet He could have lived in palace.
Perfect Example of Unselfishness
His is the one perfect example Of
unselfishness and love.
We cannot attain to His divinity
ward His humanity. While we can
not perform miracles and raise the
dead or calm the storm, we can be
patient. helpful and loving. We can
have the mind Of Christ.
We often wonder as to the mean
ing Of conscience. We say that peo-
pie differ in this, so there is no real
standard. Yet If we will but look
at the Christ, we have a perfect
standard. What would He do ir
this natter" Well settle 1t for the
right and at once. Let US ask our
selves that question, and there will
be no equivocal answer.

to a question to become Christian

Washington Sept. 2s.-How many

ment to that effect was found in
the Danish state archives. The expe-
dition was headed by the Norwegian
German privateer-captain, Didrik Pin
ing, and piloted by the Norwegian
pilot, John Skolp, to whom credit is
given for having reached as far as
Labrador and found part of the actual
entrance to the northwest passage.
In an old Spanish geographical work
on America, first published in 1867
by Francesca Lopez de Gomara, &
priest of Sevilla, It is mentioned thai
Labrador was reached for the frs
time by Norwegian sailors, pilotet
by John Scolvus (Jon Skolp). This
information was first made public
by the Norwegian professor Of his

Texas Oil Calculations

Figures gathered by the research
department of the Texas Chamber Of
Commerce disclose that approximately
800 000, 900 has been paid Texas land
owners by oil concerns for leasehold
privileges. A major portion OF TINS
huge sum has been paid small land
owners and hundreds Of mortgages
and other debts have been paid as
result Of oil leases.
The state chamber estimates that
more than 100000 barrels Of crude
petroleum has been produced in Texas
since the discovery Of petroleum IN
that state, about 80 years ago. In
1889 Texas produced 1856 barrels OF
crude oil, in 1919 the state produced
more than 96,0000O0 barrels, and 1t Is
a safe estimate that the production
of 1920 will pass the 100000, ,oOO-barrel
mark.
More than se0O,OoO,OOC has been in
vested in oil in the central Texas
fields. while approximately S2O0,00O,-
900 has been invested in the coastal
regions.
