declares, BE sure your sin will find
you out (Num. 80 :20. The sinner
may say in his heart, God hath for
gotten" but God replies, 81 know your
manifold transgressiOnS and your sins"
(AmoS 5:12). Talk no more so ex-
ceeding proudly; let not arrogancy
come out of your mouth; for the Lord
is a God of knowledge" q Sam 2:3).
But the sinner persists in the fatal
mistake of saying in his heart, GOD
hath forgotten; he will never see II.
Because the sin lies hidden in the deep
recesses of his heart the sinner feels
secure and imagineS, with the impu-
dence that belongs to Satan, that he
can sin with impunity; forgetting or
denying that the heart of man is more
plainly read by God than the clearest
writing Is distinguishable TO the eyes
of man.

of God by declaring, Thou wilt not re-
ou,re H." He sees man taking and Civ
ing Judgment every day. He sees
daily desperate attempts TO avoid the
Nemesis of the law Of man proving
abortive. Example after example OF
the certainty of retributiOn for break
ing the law OF man is before him. In
spite of all. the persistent delusion or
his heart is that retribution for break
ing the law of God may be avoided.

hidden motives-"GOd shall judge the
secrets of men" (Rom. 2:16); third,
for their deeds-"And the dead were
tudged according to their works
(Rev. 2O:12). But the sinner rises 10
the climax of wickedness when, in the
light Of these plain declarations OF
God, he says, There is no coming

Oh! that sinners might turn from
these fatal mistakes; that they migh'
turn TO the Lord with confession, be

The Lie.

There is no vice that doth so cover
a man with shame, as to be discovered
in a lie; for, as Montaigne saith: "A

he is a coward toward men; for lie

/ shall not be moved for | shall never
be In adversely" He sees adversely all
around and he sees his friends come TO
distress, but he says in his heart, II
shall never come to me. He fOrgets or
denies what the Word of God so fire.
queDtly reminds us of, that "all flesh Is
as grass" He sees his friends go to
the grave, but for him that shall never
be. In the midst of a scene wherein
change and decay hold sway he says.
In the self-Sufficiency of his heart, Il
shall not be moved" Blind to all the
instruction of history, to all the teach
ing of what he sees around him, and
to all that the Word of God would tell
him, he says, 81 shall not be moved
nor come into adversely" Shutting
his eyes to what is seen, closing his
ears TO what is heard, persuaded in his
fatuous cOnceit and presumption that
he shall never come into adversely, he
goes into the future with no prepara-
ton for what may lie in his path. Akin
TO the arrogance Of Satan is the vanity
which leads a man to make such fatal
mistake.

CENTRAL EUROPE IN HOPEFUL
MIDDLE.

Central Europe appears to be in an
other and more acute crisis than ever
Germany is in the midst of civil war.
Hungary has refused to sign the peace
terms and is seeking a way to re-
gain the territory lost by defeat.
Jugo-Slavia has refused to acknowl-
edge the pact of London and is arming
more thoroughly than at any time dur
ing the nine years war. D'Annunzio
still sits in Fiume. There are strikes
in nearly all the coal producing re-
gions, thwarting anything approach
ing return to industry and normal con-
ditions.
Food reserves are failing before
there is any prospect Of obtaining new
crops. Trade is at a standstill be-
cause no one will risk his funds dur
ing these uncertain times. People who
have goods will not sell.
Local money is, not wanted because
it is feared that the government may
openly declare the bankruptcy which
really exists. Foreign money is re-
fused because it might fall in relation
to the local money. Transportation is
uncertain, slow and full of risks. There
is, in a word, little daylight piercing
the dork clouds.

The popularity of such exhibits has
been demonstrated abroad, where
thousands are seen daily examining
closely the different objects Of inter-
est. In addition to the field dis
played along the Avenue Champs
Elysees and Place de la Concorde, the
museum in the Invalides in Paris con-
tains airplanes of popular French
aces, marine mines and other relics,
including pictures of war scenes de-
picted through various art media. The
Mail in London, as well as British mu-
seums, have been utilized in similar
way.
The library will contain everything
available pertaining to the history of
the great conflict. This will include
not only histories and other books
telling of the struggle, but files OF
newspapers and magazines, complete
sets of posters and propaganda ma
terial issued by both sides, reports OF
war boards and recreational and re.
lief organizations, such as the Rec
Cross, War Camp Community Service
and others.

A DECLARATION OF SOUND
PRINCIPLES.

Even the bitterest enemies of the re-
publican party have to admit that the
constructive party platform adopted
last Saturday at the republican state
convention was the most splendid
declaration of sound principles that
has ever been made. Not only has no
public question been sidestepped, but
such recommendation and pledges
have been made that no one who seeks
the highest good for this state or ma
ton has any cause for hesitating as
to whether the platform should be
adopted as their creed. 1t first
pledges devotion to the constitution
of the United States, then speaks of
the necessity of representative govern
ment and the need of party nomina-
tons by the convention system and the
enunciation of principles for which
the party will assume responsibility
The women are welcomed and the good
roads amendment indorsed, the courts
and the majesty of the law upheld,

GRATITUDE.
L. r. Jacks.

Gratitude means that memory
has come to the aid of purpose,
and that praise is reinforcing
prayer. Gratitude links the past
with the future, the debt incurred
with the duty to be performed,
the service received with the
service rendered. The question,
what ought we to do for 9TH
ers?" cannot receive proper an
swer until pains have been taken
to weigh and value all that others
have already done for us, Benev-
0lence is largely an affair of
memory and of the gratitude that
memory inspires. The benevo-
lence that is most beneficient
does not begin, as some moralists
seem to think, in a desire to do
good to other people, but in ade-
quate recognition of the ener-
nous amount of good which other
people have done to ourselves.
Nine-tenths of what we have to
give is gift bestowed upon us,
and only when this is realized
does altruism rest upon its prop
er ground, or feel the full force of
the motives which impel the in
dividual to the service of others.
Divorced from gratitude, all the
social virtues would shrivel.

ity only due to every human being
that is an equality of opportunity.
Equality of opportunity to secure
what each individual man needs, not
what he thinks he needs because 9TH
ers have it. This distinction is one
which is missed by many on both sides
of the senseless struggle between,
capital and labor. DIR. Johnson once
remarked: 1t is better that some
should be unhappy than that none
should be happy, which would be the
case in a general state of equality"
This rather remarkable sentence bears
scrutiny.
Let no man think he will be happy
when he has what others have instead
of what he naturally in his stratum
of development requires.
A silk shirt is an absolute nonessen-
tial to either a capitalist or a laborer.
Yet it is silk shirts and silk shirt"

Besides being available principally
for the American Legion, it will also
be open to meetings Of the Grand
Army of the Republic, the Confed-

It is intended that the museum in
this building will contain thousands
of articles of military significance
used in connection with Americas par
ticipation in the world war-pieces of
field artillery, hand grenades, gas
masks and other ordnance and equip
ment. Prominent among these relics
will be the first American flag to 60

Brilliant hues and unpleasant doors

usually have an agreeable smell. The
commonly accepted tests, such as
cooking n silver spoon or a white
onion with mushrooms. are declared
by the scientists TO be worthless.
