A Heavy Handicap.

Marriage is admittedly gamDle.
Even those who consider well before
entering the holy state Of matrimony
are frequently disillusioned as TO the
qualities OF the mates they nave
chosen. Some, of course. enter wed
Jock thoughtlessly. without heed OF
consequences. and in many cases IL
works out just as well Tor them as
for their more far-seeing brethren.
There is a class. however, which be.
lieves that II knows so much about
marriage that il will put it far above
the potential disruption of the or
dinary union, and before-marriage
theories have flown thick and fast
throughout the country. There is a
new leader of thought along this line,
and she has just made her first public
appearance. She is a New Jersey girl
who is soon to be married. and in

derstanding as to who will be the pilot.

things Of dishonesty, not walking IN
craftiness. nor handling the word OF
God deceitfuly, but by manifestation
of the truth commencing ourselves TO

Of Cod" This great preacher was
dealing with a situation far more
critical than anything We know II
today. After having passed through
n great transition himself. he had
reached the inevitable conclusion
that the great basic things of the
Christian faith transcribed all else.
He would seek to commend himSef
to the conscienCes of men through
q consistent handling and manifesta'
tion Of the truth. 1t is safe to say
that the great preachers of every
age. who have commended them
selves to their generation, have been
like-minded. Freed from all deceits
and artifices. with a burning sense
of their high responsibility and oh.
legation. they have given themselves
without reserve to the basic truths or
the religion they held and preached.
The demonstration Of their power
and influence has been disclosed In
the thronging multitudes that have
listened to them. and have been re.
freshed and inspired by their minis.
try Judged by the standards of pop
uarity alone. they have been the
most efficient, persuasive and influ-
entail prophets. who have come to
their people week by week with
message born out of deep and un'
changing conviction.
Our present age does not differ
from those that have gone before.
The demand for this type of preach
ing is evident in our day and gen.
Grafton. The great body of the
laty are not interested in theological
controversies They have a cordial dis.
like of discussions that concern mat
ters Of ceremonial or administration.
Questions of churchmanship make
little appeal to them. Whether the
preacher be given to ritual or to sim
pier forms of service is not the matter
of chief concern. They are willing
to recognize that he is human and
fallihla like themselves. One thing
they demand and insist upon. namely,
that he shall not handle the word
of God decetfully. and that Mt all
times he shall manifest the truth he
holds by life that is blameless.
Phillips Brooks once maintained that
truth is largely transmitted through
personality. Or. to use the language
of the Scotchman. it must become in
carnate in an individual life. III the
ministry of our age is to commend
itself to the conscienCes of men, it
must return to the wholesome prac.
tice of manifesting the truth as de-
clared and eXemplified by Jesus Christ.

Motorizing the Bee.

In this age of wheels. driven by
various kinds of motive power, even
the insects that work for man are not
immune to the advanced tendencies.
1t is now reported that a scheme has
been evolved in Southern California
whereby motorized apiaries are to be
trundled about the country, to give
the bees better chance to collect
honey from the blooms. Busy though
it is, the bee can travel only a short
distance with a full load of honey. To
require 1t to fly afar for supplies and
then return is to crowd nature unduly.
Hence, the plan to put the hives on
trucks that are to be trundled around
the country. as fields offer, and thus
TO give the bees the shortest possible
haul. This, it is estimated, will great.
ly increase the honey collecting ca.
pacity of the bees, and bring larger
profits for the apiarists. Application
has been made to the State Corpora
ton Commission for permission to sell
stock in the concern, with promises
OF large returns.
This is an ingenious proposition
Certainly there is no evidence to the
effect that the bees work on stint
basis. They have no established
limit of production. They are not
bound by union hours. 1t is their
instinct to gather as much honey as
they can, to make as many trips as
possible from hive to bloom and back
! Whether they will accustom them
selves to their peripatetic base is tc
be discovered. The bee has an un
erring sense Of direction. However
far it may go in search Of blossoms

From some Of the comments that
have recently appeared in the press
in various parts Of the world one
might. he led to believe that the
cause of the Christian ministry was
under very severe condemnation, and
that its ancient Office was impcriled.
Whenever a controversy breaks out
among the clergy ii Is always given
conspicuous and leading place i'm the
daily papers. The superficial reader
or student Of events comes to believe
that somehow this ancient office. that
has held it's place of supremacy
through the centuries. is likely to suf-
fer a serious decline. and it's infiu.
cnce be lost. From the day Of it's
inception down to the latest hour
there has been now and again a. con.
fiict of opinion between men engaged
in the ministry. Doubtless this con-
fiict will go on without interruption
so long as men of varying minds
and temperaments constitute the of

breaks, instead Of weakening this
ancient institution, have left 1t
stronger than ever. Disturbing as
controversy and conflict may be. new
ertheless the church moves on it's
way and holds its place Of undisputed
power and influence in spite Of all
the passing incidents Of men and
things In the earliest record OF the
church itself there was a distinct
and marked conflict between two of
it's mightiest leaders, namely, ST.
Peter and St Paul. We doubt not
that this conflict occasioned great
CONSERVATION and deep concern on
the part Of the early Christians, and
vet II did not impair the onward
march of the church. The tragedy
of most of these conflicts and discus
sions is that they are largely about
matters that do not vitally concern
the deep and fundamental things of
religion. All too frequently they
seem to center in matters that con
Germ ceremonial and ritual. Again,
they have to do largely with mat
ters of administration. Taken by and

have to do with what are commonly

it's are far ahead of the corresponding

ART COLLECTIONS
CALLED HALF FAKE
New York Painter Declares
Americans Are Cornering
Great Masterpieces.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, Pa, January 3i.---
Fifty per cent of the so-called mas
ters' canvases in all the collections
of the world are fakes. in the opinion
Of George Luks, noted painter Of New
York. He also claims a group of
wealthy Americans are ccrneting the
great masterpieces of painting.
II could walk through the man.
@ions of Pittsburgh and j bet that l
would find SO per cent OF every 100
Of the so-called masters paintings
are fakes" he told the Associated

broadened the field to include all coll
lections.
II have seen that game worked too
often myself" he said. The huge
profits it offers are too strong a
temptation to INSCRIPTIONS dealers
and members of the profession"
He predicted that in 10 years
group of men whose identity he
would not reveal would own all the
great paintings in America and
would be in a position TO demand
exorbitant prices.
Asked to comment on 1saks' re-
marks, Homer Saint Ga udens, director
OF fine arts at Carnegie Institute OF
Technology, said: Just leave me out
of the discussion. You'll stir up an
awful mess with a controversy like
that"
Art dealers said that although un-
doubtedly there were fakes in many
art collections, the proportion was
nothing like what Luks described.
