THE HARMLESS BEAR

The story is told of some campers up in the wilds
of Canada who encountered brown bear in berry
patch One of the human berry pickers heard sounds
in the bushes near him. He thought they made
by friends of his and he cheerfully made few
ments. Receiving no answer he became curious and
went around to look. Bruin there, quietly mind
ing his business which was, at that time, eating
berries. The human is reported to have fled, letting
the bear 'have the whole berry patch himself, al
though the bear hadn't objected to sharing it,
Later on these campers upon the
bear at water hole. Again the bear unconcern-
ed and apparently willing get his drink without
annoying the campers. But the latter fled again.
Probably fear would be the first reaction of most
campers to such unexpected encounter. But fear
isn't necessary The bear in the berry patch at the
water hole is most unlikely to molest human beings
bent the pursuits unless the latter modest the
bear first. Yet it requires good deal poise and
sheer love of nature than most and possess
to enable them to hold still and watch bear or snake

RUSSIA IN PAYING MOOD

French withdrawal from the Ruhr took place with
considerable less fuss than their entrance into that
district Similarly the Russian offer to settle that
tons pre-war debts to France has been negotiated
with little publicity The French government is
sdering the offer and there to be very good
prospect that it will be accepted.
The debts under discussion confined to those
contracted before the World War. The French are
said to regard the time debts as contracted in
common cause and simply wipe them out
The French interest is in behalf of 100000
holders of Russian bonds who invested their money
in Russian industrial ventures, railways and govern
ment loans in the years before the Russia pro-
poses that bonds be issued take the place of the
old but at reduced capital value, and these
the interest is to be guaranteed out Of the Soviet bud
get.
To find the Soviet Government admitting that
Russia any debts to other nations and indicating
willingness to pay them, is rather surprising
world that has come to regard Russia repudating
all pre-war obligations.
But the Soviet Government has come long way
and learned good deal since its first days of power
in Russia. What political activities lie back of this
and whether Russia will acknowledge and pay
any debts it to other nations than France remain
to be If this attitude is be extended to other
countries Russa's reinstatement respected and
selfrespecting power will be greatly hastened.

THE MAN.
Christianity was born in a village
Man, but not in a village mind. That
little white cottage in the hills of
Nazareth has made famous mark up
on the life of the world for from it
came its Lord, James who was chief
in the Jerusalem church and Jude who
shared its life. One can Judge pretty
accurately what care must have been
given to its children by Joseph and
Mary, who were fine spiritual types
as well as devout Jews. The household
would be ordered according to the
strict Interpretation of the law and
the children would learn its precepts
by both teaching and by practice.
How familiar Jesus was with every
phrase of the Old Testament Scrip
lures appears constantly in speech
and controversy. James is saturated
with it and the home evidently lived
and loved those old pages of IsraePs
storied past and reveled in their pro-
phetic imagry. The likeness of this
letter with the Interpretation of the
law given by Jesus of the Sermon on
the Mount (Jas. SIP with Matt. 5:33
Z, etc.), show that the home went to
the heart Of the law rather than con-
tenting itself with its mere legal ex-
preston. With such an atmosphere
one can conjecture what a shock it
must have been to James and the
other boys to hear of the laxity of
their Brother in his associations and
with their reverence for the law can
comprehend their rejection of His
Messiahship. Upon His leaving home
James would naturally become the
head of the household and his force of
character would make him the domi-
mating figure.
Following the resurrection attested
by his beloved mother and by her
friends, came great perpIeXity to his
eager brain and the appearances
