 Activities of Relief Continue.
 Most of Europe's sufferings ended with the armistice of 1918, but those of the Near East set in during the in- tervening period. It Is for this reason that organizations like the American Red Cross, American Near East Re- lief, American Relief Administration and the Y. M. c.

RULING SOUGHT ON
 COLLECTING TAXES
Question May Be Decided Shortly by United States Supreme Court

Washington. April l3.--A question which threatens to revolutionize the tax collecting methods of the coun- try. according to the government soon may be decided by the supreme court of the United States.
 Involved is an ancient practice which the federal government. until recently. was always able to enforce when 1t touched the pockets of it's citizens, This policy consisted of re. quiring the taxpayer to turn into the custody of the United States treasury the tax assessed against him, leaving him, as his only recourse, its pay ment under protest" and the in itiation of litigation to recover what he contended had been illegally col- lected. The court of last resort has

In insisting that no court could legally restrain it in the collection of n federal tax, the gov ernment declared that the interests of Mir. duPont were amply protected and that he had been deprived of his remedy at law to recover any taxes which were erronoously or illegally assessed and collected.

been called upon to determine wheth- er this time-honored tax-collectlng method shall continue to prevail, or M..other the taxpayer has the right to withhold payment of the tax assessed until the soundness of the govern ment's demand can be determined, by court procedure If necessary.
 No Attack on Statute.
 No specific taxing statute Is under attack, but the issue presented in the controversy Is whether any court can restrain the collection of federal tax. Many objections have been urged to the governments insistence that the taxes It assesses must be paid, leaving its right to them to be tested later. Aside from the disad-. vantages which attach to suits against the government, those who followed the governments mandate and paid taxes under protest" found that successful suits in the court of claims did not always result in the prompt recovery of the money, After judgment Is obtained congress ia"p' appropriate before any money can be refunded. and experience has nem- onstrated that congress cannot be hurried in zach matters With a fair degree of good fortune the suc- cessful litigant could reasonably hope that his posterity of the second or third generation might obtain n re- fund of money illegally collected from him.
 One Controversy.

The Bible is a history of REVEALS.
That there are revivals and REVEALS
we admit, but can not now discuss.
We use the term in its same sense.

self-righteCus and self-satisfied age
that today is crying against this log

bringing rebellious, sinful, lost men
and women to God through Jesus

sible to the time in which he nov
lives as to say that revival Is not
needed, With the family prayers
driven or kept out OF ninety-fve per
cent Of our homes by worldliness,
business and indifference. With more
than half our preachers homes with
no family prayers and many no other
kind. With prayer meetings aban-
doned in most churches and feebly
sustained in others. With churches
poorly attended and many all but de-
serted. With young men crowding
out the walls of our jails and peni-
thronged and marriage affairs desc
Grated. With prostitution legalized
and adultery upheld In society. With
our literature reeking in sexual
filth and theaters ablaze with nude
actors. With more dying In America
of sexual disease during four years
than France lost in the world war.
With America witnessing the great
est concentration of wealth and power
it carries that has ever been known
in the worlds history. With law des-
pissed and its violation gloried in as
never before. With unbelief and in
fidelity in schools, colleges and uni
versities such as no man living has
ever before seen. With pulpit and
pew questioning all that is sacred
and loving and teaching doubt as at
no time in American history and aping
the blatant unbelief OF Germany that
plunged the world into war. With
man repudiating God and his high
origin and excusing his weaknesses
and denying his sins on account OF
