the next few days.
Any statement on the question a5

would be embarrassing and might

The long controversy between
Tre United States and the govern
ment Of General Obregon in Mexico
has, apparently reach a stage which
is regarded in many official quar-

ment between the two governments.
Renewed assurances regarding the
protection of rights Of foreigners in
Mexico, have all along been the chief
stumbling block in the way Of rec
ognition Of Obregon by this govern
ment,, and these have just been sent
to Washington, being apparently re-
garded by officials here as a step
in the right direction.

and then emitting them, as did the

Heart
By &. FRANKLIN

Mans way of salvation is by en-
hghtenment, sanitation, social well
fare, new environment. Gods way
Is by new heart.
1t is natural for man to judge from
the outside and SO much so that per-
haps we come to consider external
as most important. But not so with
God We judge best by effects.
God goes back to the cause. We
must get rid of our bad habits, we say,
clean up our lives. But it is like
cleansing the stream of a fountain
when the trouble is with the foun-
tam. Or like physician who min
listers to symptoms and forgets to
seek the disease that cause the synp-
toms. Like the Pbarisees who clean
ed the outside of the cup and platter,
while within they were full Of un-
cleanness.
The dreadful thing about sin is
not in doing this or that, in leaving
this or that undone; but in the fact
that sin is in the spirit, it is the at
mosphere OF the heart. The most
vital thing is not the overt act but
the heart from which the overt act
arises.
e Verify I say unto you, We must
be born again, and he who believes
that Jesus is the Christ is born Of
God" with a new heart.
