THE LAWS DELAY

Near San Francisco. recently, three
delegates were lynched; they were IN
JAIL their weird TO dree, for crimes
revolving pinched. And masked men
came, perhaps three score, as grim as
doom or fate, and strung them TO 1
sycamore, which groaned beneath
their weight And law abiding people
then sent up an angry cry; II was
shame that untTicd men should thus
unshriven die. And I forsook my d.

at n most sardonic skate, who stood
at my right hand, remarked, The peo-

DR.. ALLEN On
THE ARCHITECT
Interesting Discourse In y Series Of
Sermons on Building . Man.

Or Clarence Eugene Allen. D. D., de.
llvered tho first Of series OF sermons
on building n Man" to n crowded con.
gregat!on ut the Fourth Street NJ. L
church last evening.
DR.. Allen illustrated his sermon b!
many human interest stories drawn
from real life.
Tho subject was The Architect"
Text. Genesis, 1-21.
80 God created man IN his own i'm
age In the image Of God created he
him: male and female created no them
Joseph Cook once said in my hear
Ing: We pass thro this world but once
then whr live like dunce?. This IS
borh truth and challenge. We are 10
discuss for q few Sunday evenings how
The challenge may DO met.
I'VE are TO build man. This Is
serious business. Young and old alike
should be sure that the manhood bcinE
erected can endure the scrutiny OF the
white light OF Gods throne.
When one would build no seeks
competent architect. He does not at
tempt the task himself or ask his AS
sociatrs to attempt II. The man WIN
designs his own building suffers tho
consequence. The difference between
a cow-shcd and ST. Paurs cathedral IN
London Is the difference in the concep'
tons OF the architects.
In the building of man. We are
wis" 10 choose God as the architect. He
Is the only competent one IN the NM
verse. Everyone not fool believes Ia
the fact OF God. Not everyone believes
in God as personally related TO man
This comes by faith.
The reasons FOR such a God ara
stronger, than those against. God IS
the only competent architect because no
alone knows man. This great architect
has a plan. He created the earth and
the brutes. But mono Of these were ade-
Quate as plan for the building Of a
man. God took himself as such. He
created man in his own Image. Some
mon assume TO draw their own plans
These submitted to an architect pro.
woke r!dicule.
When the so-styled self-made man
flaunts his crude plan before God the
latter laughs. The average self-mads
man shows how big bungler has been
busy. The only safe plan for building
q man is Gods plan.
But God did project himself into this
world so that men might comprehend
him. In Jesus Christ we find the plan
OF the infinite architect for the building
OF q man. Only as we are built on the
lines Of the Christ can the structure
endure.
The architect also furnishes spec!.
flcat!ons. Without these the building
, cannot he erected. The specifications
God provides are found in the Bible.
The career Of the Book attests It's lifo.
giving power. The builder who acts as
his own architect and draws his own
plans falls because he seeks his speech
cations elsewhere than IN this Bible.
This leads to disaster just as the
inadequate specifications Of a human
architect lead TO the collapse Of build.

papers They are the moral atmosphere
OF America, and they were believed De-
cause they were American. If any Euro
pean statesman had uttered those prin-
clplcs VIC would not have been believed.
The most disastrous change. perhaps
was in the thinking OF the Turks. In
November. 1919, great fleet OF more
than seventy-fiYe ships lay in the Ros-
phurus ready to turn It's guns on the
city. and if at that time peace terms
could have been imposed any terms
would have been accepted by the Turks
because of the power blind them. The
one motive that the Turks knows IS
fear.
But they were not imposed. and the
fleet broke up and disbandcd. A rev
units remained. Each power appointed
Il high commissioner with a naval ana
military contingent. These high com
Uthcr, each striving for the benefit OF
his own country.
The whole Near East question SO far
as it affects the Turkish Empire turns
around two points in particular, con-
stantinople and Armenia. or course the
question in regard to Constantinoaple is.
what shall be done with that city? Peo-
pie In America generally are quite ready
to settle that question OH hand with
one formula heard everywhere Throw
ihe Turk out Of Europe" 1t would be
simple Justice IL not only Constantine
pie. but the whole Turkish Empire were
taken out of his hands. and that Is what
, should be done.
But the question Of Constantinople IS
not settled so easily. The only objection
We have TO this formula Is that 1t solves
nothing. 1t leaves two great questions
unanswered. First, what Will you put In
the place of the turk In Constantinople?
Second, what will you do with the Turk
Is Asia Minor when you have thrown
him out Of Europe? In regard TO the
trst. I great many people say. Let
Great Britain take Constantinople.
Great Britain IL great power, and has
cOlon!zed with an ability no other nation
has equaled. but she cannot take tho
mandate OF Consatntinople.
From the very beginning the British
officials in Constantlnople said. We
can't take this mandate. America must
come in here and take e." There Is no
other country prepared 70 take IT. An
International government OF CONSTANT
nople would DO only to perpetuate the
lntrigues and discussions that are going
on at the present time.

America has great advantages in en-
ocaEoring to get trade in the Near East
In the first place her reputation OF dis
interestedness makes her u fNrorite Gus
toner. The peoples OF the part OF the
world believe that America vii! heip
and that she Is not seeking simply her
own profit.
America also has another advantage
in the system Of American schools: Al

and the American College for Girls, at
Smyrna the International college AT
Beirut the Syrman Protestant college.

college and st. Paurs Institute. All

THE STATE CAPITAL LoCA-
TON

The discussion as to tho removal OF
the state capital from Charleston. which
started following the recent fire. Is
growing more interesting every day
The movement is now being taken with
considerable seriousness. and sentiment
in the northern part Of the state is en-
phat!cally in favor Of the change.
For some years there has been a SEN
tIment that II would be better to have
the capital located in some city other
than Charleston, owing partly 10 poor
railroad connections. Clarksburg and
Parkersburg are presenting their
claims and inducements, and It is quite
possible that the matter may be given
favorable consideration.
