THE GREATEST NEED
/ Kings ~1S:42-45.

The thing that the people OF Israel
needed at this period, more than any
thing else, was not what they WANT
ED. They WANTED rain, but, If rain
had come TO them as they were then
thinking and acting toward God, 1t
would have been a calamity from
which they would not have recovered
in years. There was another drought
that needed to be broken, the soul
killing, spiritual drought. The people
must turn back to God first. AS by
their forsaking of Jehovah they had
shut up the heavens, so that there was
neither rain nor dew for three years
and six months, by turning to God they
opened the heavens they La closed.
II looks as IL God had taken a notion
to send Elijah to announce to AhaD
that He was closing off the water sup
Dly, and did II. / fully believe that this
was an act OF God, but we must take
into consideration the fact that Ahab
and Israel had reached out their hands
and turned off the supply. Testifying

cation to file a return on or before

ed from six to four pages, two of

led or exceeded $1,000, all such in
come must be reported on a joint re-
turn or in separate returns of husband
and wife. If single, and the net in
come including that of dependent

ton allowed a married person.
Heavy penalties are provided by the
new revenue act for failure to file a
return and pay the tax on time.

The scow flotilla started, but had
gone only a short distance when the
building slid off into ten feet OF
water. Frantic efforts were made TO
save the furniture with which the
house was fitted. but the building
was set on fire in order to prevent it
becoming a danger to navigation.

Schedule Of Cuts.
Although slight changes may be
made in the labor boards schedule
before the forthcoming order Is is

After these pay cuts are ordered
by the labor board, II will still have

See Tie-up In Protest.
Railroad leaders are unanimous
in their belief that a nation wide

a protest against these pay reduc

opinion as to when the strike will

that the workers themselves have
