who has told me everything I have
ever done. Can this be the Christ, do
you think?"
They left the town and set out to
go to Him.
The spiritual Harvest
Meanwhile the disciples were urging
Jesus.
Rabbi" they said, "eat something"
"I have food to eat," He replied,
''of which you do not know"
So the disciples began questioning
one another.
"Can it be-" they said, 'that some
one has brought Him something to
eat?"
my food,'' said Jesus, sis to be
obedient to Him who sent me, and
fully to accomplish His Work. Do
you not say, 1T wants four months yet
to the harvest? But look round,
tell you, and observe these plains
they are already ripe for the sickle.
The reaper gets pay and gathers in a
crop in preparation for the Life of the
Ages, that SO the sower and the reap
ers may rejoice together. For it is in
this that you see the real meaning of
the saying, The sower is one person,
and the reaper is another I sent you
to reap a harvest which is not the re-
suit of your own labors. Others have
labored, and you are getting benefit
from their labors."
Many Samaritans accept His Teaching
OF the Samaritan population OF that
town a good many believed in Him
because of the woman's statement
when she declared,
He has told me all that I have
ever DONE"
When however the Samaritans came
to Him, they asked Him on all sides
to stay with them; and He stayed
there two days. Then a far larger
number of people believed because of
His own words, and they said to the
woman,
I'VE no longer believe in Him SIM
ply because of your statements; for
we have now heard for ourselves, and
we know that this man really is the
Saviour of the world"
Galilaeans welcome Him
After the two days He departed, and
went into Galilee; tho Jesus himself
declared that g Prophet has no honour
in his own country. When however
welcomed Him eagerly, having been
eye-witnesses of all that He had done
in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they
also had been to the Festival.
So he came once more to Cana in
Galilee, where He had made the water
into wine.
The Officers dying Son cured
Now there was a certain officer of
the Kings court whose son was i'll
at Capernaum. Having heard that
Jesus had come from Judaea to Cali
lee, he came to Him and begged Him
to go down and cure his son; for he
was at the point of death.
Unless you and others see mira
cles and nlarvels," said Jesus, moth
ing will induce you to believe"
Sir" pleaded the officer, come
down before my child dies
You may return home" replied
Jesus; your son has recovered"
He believed the words of Jesus, and
started back home; and he was al
ready on his way down when his
servants met him and told him that
his son was alive and well. So he in
Quired of them at what hour he hal
shown improvement.
Yesterday. about seven o'clock" P"
they replied, "the fever left him"
Then the father reco1lected that
that was the time at which Jesus had
said to him, ssYour son has recovered" !"

Noller was greatly surprised by the
absence of automobiles there. He
spent many hours without seeing any.
In some of the larger cities a horse
drawn vehicle served as a taxicab. The
country does not have any automobile
regulations.
White Bread Is Scarce.
There is a great scarcity OF white
bread there" said Noller. Sometimes
there wasn't any to be had. At Kie-
gel, near the French border, I was
forced to make a railroad journey to
get this kind of food.
"The farmers are well fixed and
charge comparatively high prices for
their products. A meal cost 100
marks or about 5 cents. Coffee, bread
and sugar had to be ordered separ-
ately. There was plenty Of beer but
I never saw q man drunk. One hun
dred to $50 glasses could be pur-
chased for one dollar.
IA person could go to Germany
and live in case for four years on
$1,000. Persons working are living
comfortably, but persons who sold
their property are in want as their
money is practically valueless. There
is plenty OF food and the average per-
son is in fair circumstances.
Don't Want n Kaiser.
MANY persons could not buy coal
or wood last winter and conditions
are due to be worse this year. The
citizens are dissatisfied but they don't
want kaiser.
"Germany's manufacturing indus
tries are practically at a standstill.
Many of its natural resources have
been taken away and there is no
capital to buy raw materials for manu-
featuring purposes. The industrial
plants are in good shape considering
the conditions but they do not have
the necessary money to get underway.
''While in Bremen I waved at the
president of the republic and was
warned not to honor him in any way
because 1 might get knocked in the
head. The Germans are anxious to
find out what attitude America takes
toward them. They like the United
States and England.
No Military Training.
There is no compulsory military
training there. There are just the
home guards. Che people are tired of
military government and many OF the
barracks are used as residences. A
shortage of residence quarters exists.
The construction work Is normal but
no large building boom is notable.
There is an odd law in Baden.
When a property owner rents resi-
dence property at a sum fixed by law
he cannot remove the tenant until
the tenant is willing to move. AS a
result persons owning property are
forced to live in shacks.
The railroads are of very light
equipment but the trains make fast
time. Sometimes the engine is coupled
to the rear of the train and the bag
gage car is in the lead. There is
shortage of locomotive power. Many
of the locomotives turned over to the
French are said to be idle and are
rustinG.
Wages Are Low.
'Possessors of government positions
are suffering and are in worse cir
cumstances than the laboring man on
account of the low wages.
Summing ths situation as a whole
Germany is looking to America as it's
benefactor. The military spirit has
| been crushed and persons want to
resume business but the present form
of government entirely wipes out am
bition. The German people are not
worrying about the indemnity as they
see no way to pay it unless their in
dustries are opened up.

Christ goes into Galilee

Christ goes into Galilee
Now as soon as the Master was
aware that the PhariseeS had heard it
said, Jesus is gaining and baptizing
more disciples than john tho Jesus
Himself did not baptize them, but His
disciples did-He left Judaea and re-
turned to Galilee. His road lay thru
Samaria, and SO He came to Sychar,
a town in Samaria near the piece of
land that Jacob gave to his son JOS
eph. Jacobs Well was there: and ac-
coriingly Jesus, tired out with His
journey, sat down by the we'll to rest.
It was about six o'clock in the eve
ming.
The Samaritan Woman
Presently there came a woman of
Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked
her to give Him some water; for His
disciples were gone to the town to
buy provisions.
hHow is it," replied the woman,
"that a Jew like you asks me, who am
a woman and Samaritan, for water?"
(For Jews have no dealings with
Samaritans.)
IF you had known Gods free gift"
replied Jesus, land who it is that said
to you Give me some water you
would have asked Him, and He would
have given you living water"
"Sir," she said, you have nothing
to draw with, and the well is deep.
so where can you get the living water
from? Are you greater than our fore
father Jacob, who gave us the we'll
and himself drank from it, as did also
his sons and his cattle?"
Every one" replied Jesus. "who
drinks any of this water will be thirsty
again: but whoever drinks any of the
water that shall give him will never,
never thirst. But the water that 1
shall give him will become a fountain
within him of water springing up for
the Life of the Ages"
sir" said the woman, "give me
that water, that may never be
thirsty, nor continually come all the
way here to draw from the we'll"
go and call your husband" said
Jesus; 'and come back"
'T have no husband" she replied.
"You rightly say that you have no
husband" said Jesus: "for you have
had five husbands, and the man you
have at present is not your husband.
You have spoken the truth in saying
that"
"Sir," replied the woman, ST SEQ
that you are a Prophet. Our fore
fathers worshipped on this mountain,
but you Jews say that the place where
people must worship is in Jerusalem"
Believe me-" said Jesus, ''the time
is coming when you will worship the
Father neither on this mountain nor
in Jerusalem. You worship One of
whom you know nothing. We worship
One whom we know; for salvation
comes from the Jews. But a time is
coming-nay. has already come
when the true worshippers will wor-
ship the Father with true spiritual
worship: for indeed the Father de-
sires such worshippers. God is Spirit;
and those who worship Him must
bring Him true spiritual worship"
IT know" replied the woman, that
Messiah is coming-'the Christ. as He
is called. When He has come He
viii tell us everything"
"I am He" said Jesus-"I who am
row talking to you"
The Conversation Interrupted
Just then His disciples came. and
were surprised to find Him talking
with a woman. Yet not one of them
asked Him. What Is your wish? ?" or
why are you talking with her?"
The woman however. leaving her
pitcher. went away to the town, and
called the people.

AMERICAN RED CROSS.
Message From Chairman to Those
Engaged in Enrolling Work.

In a message to the 100000 mel
and women who have just starte'
their task of enrolling Every Amer
lean everywhere" on the roster of thu
American Red Cross, Judge Joh;
Barton Payne, chairman of that o.
ganlzation, states:
1.-The Red Cross is mighty arm!
of red-blooded American men ant
women, banded together to wage il
cessant battle against disease, disas
ter and suffering.
"YOu are the recruiting officers fol
| this army. AS such it is both youl
duty and your privilege to give tc
every American the opportunity tc
! consecrate himself anew to service
under the banner of the Red Cross.
1--WE are now engaged in the stu
pendous task of relieving the misery
Of more than half a million men, wo-
men and children who have been
driven out Of Asia Minor and Eastern
Trace by the Greco-Turkish war.
when the great international disas-
ter came, the eyes Of the American
people turned as with one accord to
the American Red Cross as the agen-
cy through which they would send
succor to the suffering.
There was never a moment S
doubt as to what organization would
be called upon to render aid. The
Red Cross is proud thatsit could and
did answer ready when the emer-
gency call came.
"F'rom now until Thanksgiving Day
you are to call the roll among your
neighbors and friends, and they, too,
will be proud to answer ready" By
their affirmative answer to the Roll
Call they will be giving their sup
port to the Greatest Mother in the
World; they will be pledging their
allegiance once more to the greatest
army of mercy in the history of hu-
manity.
"The disaster in the Near East is
only one of the many grim tragedies
which the Red Gross is meeting.
Others are taking place every day Of
the year, and any day may be just
around the corner from your own
homes. They may be less dramatic; ;
they map not find place on the front
pages OF your newspapers, but they
are none the less worthy of our SER
vice.
'The Red Cross, as the great vol

never sleeps; never takes a vacation.
Its work of mercy goes on night and

ABOUT THE RATES ON ADVERTISING
IN THIS PAPER.

Your rates are too high" said merchant to us
the other day. When you buy an advertisement in
this paper did you ever stop to consider how many
people read this paper?
1t is estimated that from 3 to persons read EACH
copy of this paper.
Just for the sake of argument say that our rate is
rs cents an inch: Suppose you are using a ten-inch
advertlsement-the cost being $3.50. Our crcula-
ton is 1000. Using as a basis to work on that peo
pie read each copy-3000 read each ISSUE Your
cost per reader at this estimate would be about two
tenths Of cent.
This is the most reasonable form of advertising in
the world ~,
