she spread the cult and under her
fostering care it grew with wonderful
rapidity. Jehovah was the God of
Israel; local instead of worldwide,
He was supreme within their terri
tory. The old places of worship were
still kept, many of the Cannanitish
Baals had following, but there was
never a question of Jehovah's right
to rule. But Jezebels God challenged
this position and claimed equality
for hers. Instead of one God the
door was being opened for any num-
Der and the ideas that have marched
at the head of science and of prog
ress were being threatened as never
before. One God or many gods for
each individual was the clear-cut
issue that had arisen within the
Hebrew states.
1t was against this notion made
popular by court influence that Elijah
flung himself with a passion equal to
the queens. Out of Gilead with the
desert dust and habit upon him he
dared challenge the whole crew,
Baal, and all, to battle. Proclaiming
that a mere man like himself, if he
were Jehovah's man, was greater
than their water-bringer he declared

state. Elijah found himself believ-
ing in the people who had seemed so
unimportant compared with the
queen in that old day and champion
ing them in frey words as he found
the king at the vineyard gate in Jez-
reel. The last, lone man had rights
as sacred as the holder of the high
est position in the land and to shout
that abroad lifted all the people to a
new level. Man as man became the
base-line for all thinking and if that
were fully accepted today much of
our trouble would vanish into thin
air. The other thing he stood for
that day was the supremacy of law.
1t covered the palace of privilege as
fully as the peasants hut and it was
to be obeyed by both. Again failure
to respect the law is the bane of the
present and the consciousness that it
applies to all would do much to solve
our problems, economic and other
wise. Elijah learned faster under de-
feat than under victory.
Finally came the gift of life to
him who had made his own worth
continuing. 1t makes strange read
ing now but it immortalzed in the
minds of all the land the things for
which he had fought. His God was
never challenged in the same way
again and the rights of men and the
supremacy of law became banners
that still wave on the fighting front
of the world.

eminent viii Fight Ruling
Pending Court Decision.

New York.-Physicians may pre-
scribe any amount of alcoholic liquor
necessary to the proper treatment Of
their patients, under a decision hand
ed down by Judge John c. Knox in
the Federal District Court, holding
that Section 7, Title II Of the Volstead
act, is unconstitutional The act pro-
vided that :. doctor might give not
more than one pint of spurious liquor
to the same patient within ten days
Judge Knox's ruling was made in a
suit brought by Dr. Samuel W. Lam
bert, as president Of the Association
for the Protection Of Constitutional
Rights, seking an injunction to re-
strain Federal officials here from en-
forcing the provisions Of the prohibit
ton act which affected physicians.
Col. William Hayward, United States
District Attorney, who was one of the
defendants, announced that the gov
eminent would try to stop the opera
ton Of the injunction pending appeal
to the Supreme Court.
81 have reached the conclusion"
said Judge Knox in his decision. that
the limitations Of the Volstead act
and its amendments which make it
lawful to prescribe but one pint Of
Intoxicating liquor for internal and
medical use Of a person. whose known
ailment If it is to be properly treated.
requires the administration of great
er quantity, are void"
DR.. Lambert expressed great pleas
ure that the court had upheld his con-
tention and explained that MANY of
the doctors who had taken part in the
concerted action against the restric-
tons were ardent prohibitionists.
These men, he said, felt that the
medical use Of alcohol was not con-
ceivably within the scope of the pro-
hibition laws, and that the same COZ
iidence shown in rabbis AID priests
in permitting them to get wine for re-
ligious use ought to be reDosed in

from the horn of Roderick Dhu was
worth a thousand men, Napoleon
meant more than a division and John
Knox swayed Scotland. There among
the hills Elijah faced the throng
with the probing question, "How
long halt We between two opinions?
If Jehovah be God, follow Him; if
Baal, then follow him." Then he
called for the fire test as an aid to
decision. Test God by the experience
of life. He who kindles is the only
real God and that is a timeiess mark.
Thru all the days the horde Of priests
whirled, danced, shouted. gyrated
and the expectant crowd found moth
ing but wind as the result. The sun
sank westward laying long path of
light athwart the sea and LIiiah
stilled the clamor by his call to come
near as he piled twelve stones to-
gether and Weakened the memories Of
the great DAYS # a people united un-
der the banner of Jehovah. Repaired
breaches and restored affairs are the
beginnings Of blessing. Their the
sacrifice hallowed by the centuries
was prepared and the possibility of
deception guarded against by the
ring of water. Elijah rejoiced to
make it hard for God to answer. He
was One who did the impossible. The
prayer to the God Of thcir fathers;
Abraham, Isaac and Israel was as
winsom as it was direct and the pio-
phet had created the atmosphere in
which miracles happen. Got broke
thru in blazing light ana all the
world turned q corner that day.
Whatever happened the feet of the
race were set ON the road where
stands the cross and the promise of
a redeemed world. That the sun set
in blood calls for no stones from us
who after the long centuries still
spatter the way with crimson dro2s.
THE VICTORY OF DEFEAT
Twas a great victory that day but
the man in full flush If it went down
to disaster. He had won a verdict
from the Peep hut failing at the
palace he fell that ali was lost. Some
folk still weigh a king heavier than
the citizens but they grow fewer
with the years. Position is no more
than populace. Fleeing desperately
to Sinai he wished to die, all unknow-
ing that there was never a day when
ne so much needed to live. Gaining
a larger vision Of his tas'; he turned
once more toward Israel to give him
self to the care Of youth ana with
Elijah as his comrade there came
over his spirit the mell1wing that is
needed 20 carry TO completion the
thing of his desire. Stirring the ma
ton and restraining the RAIN was
nightly stimulating but teaching
little groups Of young people held far
more hope for the ultimate success
of the cause.
There came again a time for his
championship Of rights Of men when
Naboth lost his life, his property. his
family at the dictates of a dcspotic

THE TIMES AND THE MAN
Elijah was no Hamlet The times
might be out of joint, but he would
never say, 80 cursed spite, that ever
was born to set them right" The
prophet rejoiced over having chance
to get into the struggle. Israel was
in the heighth of her power with the
strong house of Omri making her as
potent in politics in Palestine as
Cromwell made England. Ahab, the
reigning king, had added an alliance
with prosperous Phoeniecia that had
been sealed by marriage with Jez-
ebel. Keen of mind and strong of will,
despotic in beliefs and a passionate
devotee of Baal, she swayed an in
fiuence that threatened to completely
Submerge the old faith of Israel If
Christians were as eager to make
converts as was she Christ would not
have waited 1900 years for the COM
ing of His Kingdom. Early and late

that there should be neither rain nor
dew. There was a laugh at the palace
over the joke of crazy enthusiast
but it soon lost its point and Elijah
was sought for far and near. Safely
hidden in the hills he learned some
thing Of patience. Securely secreted
where no one expected him to be,
under the shadow of the queens
home, he learned the kindliness of
folk and the unwisdom of mass judg-
ment. At least these were the les
sons set but that they were far from
being mastered the latter days re-
vealed.
THE BATTLES
Drought and famine had no effect
in checking the steady drift toward
the queens faith and Elijah called
for decision. His power must have
been terrific to compel the king to
summon the great mems mass meet
ing on Mt. Carmel where the lone
prophet challenged the people to
choose one God for the anchorage of
their faith. Yet it was the strength
Of one and not of the mass for he

Something to
Think Ab0ut
THE WUNTENANCE
| q
b. F. 4. WALKER

Q ONE c~ountenances are like sealed
packages, impenetrable to the
sharpest eye; others resemble an open
volume whose every line can be read
in a passing glance, provided, of
course, that the reader has intuition
and can glimpse the soul on the thres-
hold and interpret its signals.
A blush often speaks more eloquent
ly than carefully chosen words a tear
tells the tale Of sorrow that tongue
fails utterly to name; a pallor COM
municates In a language Of Its own,
fully read and co~nprehended at a
glance.
Each one of these changes in the
countenance speaks directly from the
heart, voices the hearts emotions, Its
faith or doubt, It's gladness or grief, Its
hope or despair.
Look on the sunny countenance of
the child and see beaming there the
Joy 1t brought only q year or so ago
from the heavens; gaze upon the face
of the old man, scanned with the pas
sage of years, and behold the far-away
lock in his eyes trying to ken the I'M
fathomably mystery of the future hid
den off there in the dark which he can
not penetrate.
One is bubbling with joyous antici-
patton, the other is dreading, he knows
not what.
The child laughs. dances and sings;
the man signs and groans, eager to
leave his tenement Of clay, yet afraid
to go. Life in one is just beginning
in the other ii is merging with the
shadows.
All these feelings are legible in the
c~ountenance Of humans everywhere;
all are written In the same language
which requires no interpreter to d.
vulge its meaning, saw the close OBJ
serving eye.
To explain these impressions in
words would require hours, yet the
trained eye can read them in a mo-
ment and get from them their true
significance without making an error
or missing an accent.
A voice may change with infection
and give words a new meaning, but a
message once written on the counte-
nance becomes deeper and stronger
with the advancing years.
The kindly eye grows kinder, the
vile eye more leering and bestial,
good and evil qualities recognized In
an instant.
The face is a tablet upon which
Time writes unerringly of the soul as
1t journeys through this world in quest
Of some underlined pleasure which 1t
seems never to find.

Broken Dreams
BY A E. HALL

THERE'S a little trunk in the attic.
And its key Is red with rust,
There are cobwebs all around it,
And the top is gray with dust;
The spiders weave DER the handles,
And swing from the strap of brown,
And no ones there who seems to care
When the lid was fastened down.
But, oh, there was ne'er a treasure
More precious than hat inside;
A wardrobe of tiny measure
For the little boy who died;
The dreams of a life are folded
In the ralment he did not use,
And the mothers tears flow through
the years
For the baby she had to lose.
She fashioned each dainty garment
With love that was strong and deep;
In the gown she had sensed the rap
ture
OF seeing her darling sleep;
Had glimpsed him in every wee thing,
And held him against her breast,
The soft pink form so sweet and
warm,
That lovingly she caressed.
But he was a fragile blossom
That needed the higher air,
One almost fancied a halo
Lay soft on his silky hair;
He could not wait for the dresses
God called, and he had to heed,
And the trunk shall hold, like bits of
gold,
The garments he did not need.
