A dispatch from San Francisco, OF

One Having Authority.

In all His positive teaching, Christ
speaks as one having authority, and
not as the scribes Of the earth. He
confidently lifted the veil from the un-
seen world, in the parable Of Lazarus,
calmly announced to the Sadducees
the conditions which will obtain In the
resurrection. Think Of such a declara.
ton as He makes In Matthew II :27 !:
"All things are delivered unto me Of
my Father; and no man knoweth the
Son. but the Father; neither knoweth
any man the Father, save the Son, and
he to whomsoever the Son will reveal
him."
1t will suffice. In closing, to give His
own assurance as to His teaching. In
John IL 40, so, lie says: "For ! have
not spoken Of myself; but the Father
which sent me, He gave me com
mandment, what should say, and
what I should speak. And know that
His commandment Is life everlasting ;
whatsoever I speak, therefore, even
as the Father said unto me. so /
speak," And at the very close Of His
ministry, in His high-priestly prayer,
He declares to the Father, concerning
His disciples, II have given unto them
the words which Thou gavest me-"

ieJerteu In the light of increasing
knowledge 1t is asserted that even in
the spiritual realm our Lord was not
al fnfulllble teacher. His assertions
Us to Old Testament history and au-
thorship are rejected by many, and
more recently His teaching rs to the
future, especially the matter Of His
return, has been discarded.
Our text Is adduced In support Of
this attitude, and it behoovcs us to con-
slider these words Of Chrlst's careful
~. 1t Is not to be disputed that Christ
here disclaimed knowledge as to the
day and hour of His coming. True,
all the resources Of His divine nature
were open to His mind, but for GER
tain mysterious purposes, He was con-
tent to be ignorant of this one thing
In the days Of His humiliation. This
admission Of Christ, however, does not
that He Is not reliable teacher.
First Of all, this very confession of
ignorance on one point contains an
implicit claim Of supernatural knowl-
edge. mere man would not need to
Inform us that he did not know the
day or hour Of the Lords coming; we
would take that for granted. The fact
that Christ must so inform us, sug-
gests at once that He was above man.
Again. notice the explicit claim
Christ makes for Himself. Prof.
James Stalker puts it thus: -Four
planes Of being and Of the knowledge
are specif1ed-that Of man, that Of
angels, that Of Himself, and that Of
God. Evidently the Son was above,
not only man, but angels, and If 1t is
confessed that He Is ignorant Of any.

Of surprise"

An Amazing Assertion.

Moreover, what mere man is compe-
tent to tell us anything about the
knowledge or ignorance Of the angels?
But the Son Of Man calmly announces
that Of that day and hour no angel
knows. Verify, this passage in which
Christ confesses ignorance assures us,
at the same time. Of immeaNurable in
sight on His part.
Finally, On this point of which He
confesses His ignorance, Christ never
assayed to teach. He bids us watch,
because wo know not tho day nor the
hour, and Informs the disciples that
the Father hath kept the times and
seasons within HIS own power. This
very reserve begets In US a confidence
that we may rely implicitly on any
positive teaching Jesus gives about
things present, things past, or things
to come. 1t has been aptly said /:
Christ knew, whas He knew, and
never made positive afflrmations un::
less He was sure 9f the correctness OF
what He said" How amazing It is
that any man will charge our Lord
with ignorance on any point upon
which He claims knowledgeI
Let no child Of God be disturbed
by learned talk as to the ignorance Of
our Lord True, when He came into
the world. He emptied Himself (Phil.
27 II. W. But the fact that as the
words imply, the emptying was volun-
tary, assures us that He was not so
emptied as to be no longer able to
teach us whom He came to teach and
to save. 1t has been well said that
man who should go to Africa to
teach the natives, but who would con-
fess he was not competent to give IN
struction, would cease to be regarded
as benefactor and would appear,
rather, rs an impostor. But our Lord

WARN OF WEATHER CHANGES
To the Initiated, Telegraph Wires Are as Good as Any Barometer
 Ever Manufactured.

To trained ears, telegraph wires act as excellent weather prophets.
 Predictions as to the state of the weather can be made from 24 to 36 hours in advance by an appreciation of the pitch, strength and quality of the tones produced by the wires. Rain, snow and storms can be fore told with considerable certainty
 High shrill notes preeede heavy but brief falls of rain or snow, while deep humming tones indicate ram falls which are both brief and light. Buzzing tones indicate a change In the weather; indefinite, soft, hum- ming tones of medium strength ln- dicate longer continuance of damp weather.
 It is difficult to describe the tones in mere words. They must be heard repeatedly in order that the mind may form consciously or subconscl- ously an idea of the weather condl- tion to which they correspond.

The baby chicks may be smart little fellows from strong vigorous parent stock, and they may have been brood ed carefully for the first two or three weeks, but unless they receive proper care and management during their later growing period they will not develop properly. and many of them will be lost through disease or sick ness. The chief essentials to proper growth are good coops or houses cleanliness, proper feed and water shade and free range.
 Every coop or poultry house used for growing chicks should be kept clean at all times. Sickness or disease starts usually in unclean quarters, and in such places lice and mites are al

HAD THE RIGHT CIVIC SPIRIT
Also Indianapolis Man Knew His puty Toward the "Stranger Within
 His Gates"

An incident happened the night before the speedway race which does much to boost Indianapolis as no mean city," and makes the stranger feel that he is not a stranger.
 A business man came downtown to watch the crowds. He stopped at the News office, looked at the pie lures in the windows and went in- side. Two men and their wives from Detroit were in the lobby asking for the room clerk. "We can't get in at the hotels and we can't find place to sleep or to leave our car" one of them said.
 The good citizen didn't wish to take in roomers But he had to up- hold his city and do as he would be done by. So he called his wife on the phone, but could not get her.
 'FYou folks come out with me, " he said. '1'll take a chance on my wife"
 Needless to say the visitors were welcomed and spent a pleasant night instead of sleeping in their car.
 And they naturally have fine opinion of Indianapolis citizens Indianapolis News.

The popular belief that Gipsle' are descendants of the Egyptians has no other basis than the similarity oi the two words.

ways more plentiful. Coops and houses should be cleaned and sprayed once week, and clean shayings, chaff. or sand put on the floor. Examine the chicks and houses often for lice and mites, and if found they should be got rid of at once by following the direc- tions In Department Circular Is, Lice, Mites and Cleanliness, which may be had, free, upon application to the di- vision of publications, United States Department of Agriculture.
 A variety of feeds, with fresh, clean water, Is necessary if chicks are to grow properly. Perhaps the three most necessary for rapid growth are grain feed, green feed and dry mash. Poultry specialists of the department say that in addition to the green feed and dry mash, which should be pro- vided regularly, grain mixture should be fed night and morning, giy- ing as large quantity as the chicks will eat clean, but no more. A good grain mixture for growing chicks con sists of three parts cracked corn, two parts wheat, and two parts hulled oats. When available, katir or rolled or hu1led barley may be substituted for hulled oats. In localities where hulled oats, kafir, or rolled barley can not be obtained, or are too expensive, a mixture of cracked corn and wheat only may be fed until the chicks are old enough to eat whole oats, when two parts may be added to the corn and wheat mixture.
 A reasonable supply of fresh green feed is almost as necessary as grain ty they will get much of 1t for them selves, but if confined, or if in quar- ters where green feed is not abun- dant, 1t should be supplied regularly Lawn grass, beet tops, cabbage and lettuce are excellent feeds. When chicks are confined to brood coops with runs, they should be placed on ground where the grass Is green and tender, and as fast as it Is eaten Oil, the coop and run should be moved to a place where the grass is plentiful.
 In addition to green feeds and grain, dry mash should be kept before grow ing chicks at all times after they are three or four weeks old. It Is best to feed 1t in hopper inside the build ing, or where 1t will not be exposed to rain or wet Here Is a good dry mash mixture: Two pounds corn meal, two pounds middlings, one pound oat- meal, two pounds wheat bran, one pound beef scrap and one-fourth pound charcoal. Grit and oyster shell also should be provided.

SMALL FLOCK IN BACK YARD
Two Hens for Each Member of Fam fly Are Recommended as Best by
 Poultry Specialists.

The average novice can reasonably expect to get an average of at least 10 dozen eggs per hen per year from his small flock In the back yard. On the basis of two hens to each mem- Der of the family this will give 20 dozen eggs year to each person, which amount Is about halfway be- tween the average of farm and city consumption. No backyard poultry keeper should be satisfied with less than this, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Every backyard poultry keeper should try to get as much more as possible. To provide an egg a day for each person, two hens would have to lay 183 eggs each year.
