happen from century to century. He
made provision beforetime. In spite
of all chance and change, He will per-
feet the counsel of His will. "All
things were created for His pleasure"
God rejoiced in the goodness and glory
Of His handiwOrk. The rebellion of
Satan brought ruin, chaos and destruc-
ton into the world of beauty and
order. But God knew this would come
to pass, so He provided redemption's
plan that would, through the Lamb
slain and salvation manifest, make
more glorious His creation in the
times of restitution. God is not de-
feated, for grace is more glorious thar
creative innocence. He redeemed a
lost world before it was sold under sin.
He ransomed it, before it was taken
captive; He reconciled 1t. before 1t
glory and blessedness. He will perfect
His work no matter what turmoil,
strife and enmity may oppose. He will
fulfill all His purpose and do all His
pleasure. He wants to teach us to
work with Him, according to His plan,
so that our work shall abide; that we
may build not of hay, wood or stubble,
to be burned, but gold, silver and
precious stones, the richest adjoining

a doEeIGL r SO answers, more or less
h%aphazard, have been made to the
question by persons who think they
know and by others who give answers
for the sake of getting mental EN-
ployment and for nothing else. There
was a rumor at first that there had
been in the bureau a duplication of
government securities, to the possible
resulting loss of security holders.
Then there came the fiat statement
In denial: Nothing to it."
Then it was guessed that labor union
and anti-labor union activities within
the bureau had caused dislocation of
the machinery of orderly procedure.
Mayhap there is something in this
and then again mayhap there is moth
ing in it.
Other have been advanced
and one of them, of course, is that the
discharges resulted from the desire
of the party in power to open the
higher civil service positions in the
various bureaus of government so that
a ready approach might be offered by
this administration or any other ad-
ministration to men and women to
whom the wish was to give employ
,nent.

department, which has jurisdiction

printing, did not know that the dis
missals were to be ordered. Appar-
emily the whole thing was done

The natural conclusion, of course,
was that the politicians wanted the
places for favorites of theirs, but in
asmuch as virtually every vacated
place has been filled by promotion, a
good deal of the edge has been taken
off of this charge.

the cabinet officers of the various ad-

not as much work can be got out of
civil service employees as out of the
