Harding Will Insist That u S.
Become Member OF World Court
VOTING ADVANTAGE
FOR BRITISH DENIED;
AMERICA s FAVORED

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Presi-
dent Harding soon will make it
known that he stands firmly behind
the proposal that the United States
become a member of the interna-
tional court of justice established
through the League of Nations, it
was learned authoritatively today.
In reply to inquiries concerning
reports that he might drop the court
plan because of opposition to it, the
president told members of his cabi.
net that such reports are entirely
unfounded, and that he soon will
indicate to the country that the adj
ministration intends to push the pro-
posal for American participation in
the court.
AS a result of this information, OBJ
tanned from President Harding al
most Immediately after his return to
Washington, several members of the
cabinet will make speeches soon in
favor of the court proposal Among
those who will open the fight for
participation in the court will be
Secretary of State Hughes and Sec.
rotary of Commerce Hoover.
From those who have just con
ferred with President Harding on
the question it is learned also that
Mr.. Harding will make one or more.
speeches in favor Of the proposal to
go into the world court. during his.
proposed western speaking tour.
President Harding does not consid-
er the United States as directly get
ting into the League of Nations
through membership and represent
tation in the world court.
This was made clear at the White
House. Specific denial was made
that the United States could be re-
garded as entering the league "by
the back door" through joining the
court, as has been charged.

nabas could have said the same thing.
Saul was the under dog and he fought
for him and set him on the top of the
heap. His struggle with Paul was for
the under dog, Mark, and he kept on
until he had him on the top of the pile
and that position seems the only thing
that reused him out of his genial good
humor. Wrong the other fellow and
Barnabas shed his coat.

THE MAN
Do you know Joseph, the Levite?
1t is an alert bible student who an
swers Immediately, for like many an
ather his nickname so overshadows
hat with which his parents blessed
him as to be forgotten. His was a
fine parentage that ran back to Levi
and the early history of the race and
he doubtless carried considerable
pride in his lineage. Whether he was
born in the island of Cyprus or not,
he lived there and owned property in
it. In that well-to-do home life had
few trials and the youth probably was
sent to Tarsus to the University for
the completing of his education. Look
ing like a Greek god, the handsome
student would have been one OF the
most popular even if he were not like
". to hold the highest place in his
class. 1t is altogether likely that the
keen-minded Saul, who was easily val
edictorian, came to know this older
student who would fascinaUe the quick
witted Jewish boy of the Ghetto and
there would be begun an acquaintance
that would last thru the years. Com
ing from a devout Hebrew home he
would have kept the feasts ut Jcru-
salem and have shared much Of its
life, so that he had many friends il
the city. Related as he was to Mary
Marks mother, whose home was prob
ably the place Of the scenes of the
, Upper Room and where we know the
early church had its meetings, he
would be in sympathetic contact witt
the followers of Jesus and was al
early convert to the faith even if he
had not at some time met the Master
Himself. Prominent ln that group
it was quite natural that he should b'
chosen to investigate the Antioch af
fairs at which place he heartily ap
proved the entry of ths Gentiles int
the church tho it is quite possible
that most of those early members i
not all, were the "God-fearers" VIII,
had shared the synagogue worship
From this place he was sent as mis-
sionary with Paul and shared the per
lis and the title Of apostle. Usin'
his influence at Jerusalem, he helpe
to heal the breach between the tW
parties in the church, but refusing

accompany Paul on his second jour
ney without Mark, he turned aside to
his old home island where we lose
sight Of him entirely. Tradition says
that it became his grave. But out Of
it came the redemption Of Mark that
was so complete that Paul sent for
him again to share his place at the
front, and it marks those silent years
as wonderfully worthwhile, for with
out them there would be no Gospel
of Mark.
THE CHRISTIAN
1t was while this man was going
about the streets of Antioch that the
name was born in some brain that
flung a Jest at the follower of Jesus
that had become a glory. They were
Christ Ones in very truth and Barn
abas may have been the one at whom
the word was first hurled. AT any
rate, he was there. And it is little
wonder that he should have been one
of the first to bear it, for it fits his
character, which could not help maxim
impressions on Antioch as it had on
Jerusalem. For he had no reserved
section in his surrender to his Lord.
All that he had as we'll as all that he
was, belonged to Christ. He had al
ways given his 1.-THE, but that was
not enough for a Christian so when
he found great numbers of those early
converts stranded in Jerusalem he
sold some of his property and used it
all for their need. He was a good
steward Of the grace of God and
showed it in his practice. The Book
calls him a good man and that showed
in his swift thought for others ano
his investment in their need. He haC
the missionary spirit. Christ meant
nothing to him unles he could share
Him with others and tho a Jew he
caught the vision Of the world fol
which his Lord died and gave him
self to carrying the message to some
Of the despised OF his race. And he
labored with his hands at the job tina
his expenses might be met; mission
airy societies were unheard Of then. HI
was q eiv-r and a goer as his Lore
had been. He was willing that any
one might have the glory if the worl
were done. In Jerusalem he held OH
his hand to Saul who was suspected
Of being d spy instead of CONVEX
. and gave him full credit for what h
{ was. using his own reputation in hi
, behalf. When he was put in charg
in Antioch he sought out the discard

up in his zeal and when the time came
for a secon- trip he was as ready to
go in second place as he had been to
lead the earlier one into his own we'll
known territory. And any man who
can give and go and keep on going
when he is showed to the rear is, GER
tainly a worthy bearer of the name of
Christ
THE FRIEND
His faith was not all in God, but
he believed in men also and having
given his friendship, it was not to be
withdrawn. His relations with Paul
show this, for there was no reason
why he should have risked any of his
reputation for the suspected man. But
if he had been a friend before or if
he had not he would not go back on
the man. He gave him his hand.
There came a day when they differed
so strongly that they had to separate

and Silas as they took their depar-

church, why shouldn't he have been
bitter? Why shouldn't he have cast
aside the friendship for Paul that had
been so fine a thing in the associa-
tons of the two? How do we know
he didn't? Because if he had Mark
would never have joined the man as
a helper whom his beloved relative
charged with having wronged him

spite Of any hurt feelings still was

BELIEVES MEXICO IMPROVING

Mexico is now upon the road to
sound basis, politically and economi-
cally speaking, according to Jackson
B. Cox, for % years a missionary to
Mexico. Mr.. Cox was in San Antonio
for the day, Friday and left that night
on his return to the Southern Re-
public.
For the last eleven years Mr.. Cox
has been in charge of the missionary
activities of the Southern Methodist
church in the Monterey district. The
district extends from Villa Acuna to
the mouth of the Rio Grande and ~
miles into the interior of Mexico. The
adherents to Southern Methodism IN
the Monterey district, Mr.. Cox said,
number about 10000 persons.
He was one Of the first Methodist
missionaries to enter Mexico. During
the troublous times of the revolution
he remained in Mexico. Once his
house was riddled with bullets from
the guns of the followers of Villa.
Mr.. Cox is optimistic in his belief
in the future of Mexico. He believes
that the government is getting on a
sound basis and that the reports OF
boshevistic tendencies and of the So
cial and economic condition of the
country have been exaggerated.
1t is said that Mr.. Cox occupies
prominent place among the thinkers
/ of Mexico.

membership signed the tithers' pledge
All organizations reported they had
met their financial obligations in full

three marriages. The play is teem-

The cast consisted of twelve charac-

The community hall maintained by
the Trinity Methodist church was
crowded. Friday evening. and, in fact
is crowded on almost every occasion,
the Rev. Mr.. Leonard said. since the
residents in the community are as
