Sevenfold Misfortune

The adage that "misfortunes never
come singly" seems to be illustrated
by a dialogue which was overheard in
a Jersey City trolley car:
"You don't tell me that Professor
Isaacs has been struck dumb7'
"He has,"
Sand wasn't he master Of seven Ian
guages5"
"He was"
Sand is it possible he was struck

Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Rev. J.
Sterling Moore, pastor.-All depart
ments of the Sunday school were well
attended last Sunday. A splendid
congregation was present at the
morning service and listened to an
inspiring sermon by the pastor. He
selected as hfSrtest Isaiah 81 :i7-No
weapon that's formed against thee
shall prosper, and every tongue that
shall rise up against thee in judgment
thou shalt condemn. "This is the
heritage of the Lord" he declared.
This is not world of chance; there
isn't anything that happens by
chance. God has never had to patch
up His work. We come short of
knowing of the relationship that God
sustains toward us"
The B. Y. P. u. had an interesting
discussion Of the topic Preparing for
My Life Work"
The parable of the ten virgins
found in Matthew 1:1-11 was the
basis of the sermon delivered at the
evening service by the pastor. He
said that there is such a thing as hav-
ing a religion that Is professed only
and that can not be felt and also
said that it is worthless to be in
church unless you haze been regen-
Grated
The junior choir Of twenty voices
made its first appearance and rem
dered splendid service at II a. m.
Next Sunday the pastor will occupy
the pulpit at both services. A wei
come awaits you at Mount Zion.

WITH The CHURCHES
Only Source of Salvation

international Sunday school
lesson text for May ~; Neither
Is there Salvation in any other,
for there Is none other name un-
der heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved
Acts 4;l2.
Does the claim that salvation is
through Jesus Christ only seem
narrow, unjust, unlike the
boundless mercy of God?
Jesus Himself declared that
only those who believed in Him
could be saved. Repeatedly the
Old Testament proelaims the
promised Messiah to be the only
Savior. Look unto me and be
ye saved, for | am God and
there is none else"
The text is absolutely true
and SO will be seen il correctly
understood. How about the gen.
tile races who have never heard
the name of Jesus? Reflect.
Arc they saved? Is China saved?
The answer comes; No! Nor are
we, while nations accuse, hate
and wars threaten. And the
great nations are called Chris
tan nations. Being called by a
name and being in the qualities
for which a name stands, may be
vastly different things. The root
meaning of Jesus is jehovah
saveth, God-saveth.
No nation can be saved with
out Gods amounting with His
wisdom and love. To this we
must agree. Nothing can save
nations from internal decay, or
us from individual evils, other
than by Gods love and wisdom
in the life. The inflow of Gods
own life is sweet, harmonizing,
the only panacea. Not sounds
of letters, but the enlightening,
healing, blessing powers are the
name of Jesus. All that is good
"since the world began, all that
will be in the ages to come, all
true progress is in the name of
Jesus" Those are saved, re-
sardless of race distinctions or
lip professions, who love the
goodness of God and shape their
lives according to the principles
which Jesus proclaimed.

istic sermons preached by his con-
temporaries; therefore large multi
'tudes gathered about him. Having
made man He knew him and that
whatever his pursuit in life his ulti-
mate object is to attain happiness.
Therefore in ten verses included in
this chapter Jesus makes a compre-
nensive survey of all things in which
men may find true happiness.
Very inspiring services were held
at s p. m. One addition was made to
the church.
The great pageant presented at
the Eagles auditorium Tuesday and
Wednesday nights was a wonderful
treat TO the people of this commu-
nifty of all groups. Many of Seattle's
distinguished persons were present
and pronounced it one of the best
entertainments ever given in Seattle
by any group. The public press also
was very elaborate in its commenda-
ton on the success of the pageant.
Next Sunday the pastor will preach
at | / n. m. and at s p. m. the annual
sermon of the S. M. 7. will be held
in union with the U. b. +. LARGE at
tendance is expected. The public is
cordially invited to worship with us
at each of the services next Sunday.

ing the pastor spoke to the children

Income Tax Problems
Simplified for All

No. II.
A person may receive for his serv.
ices compensation other than money
that is subject to the income tax.
The fair market value of the thing
taken in payment is the amount to
be included as income. For example,
If a clerk in a grocery store receives
as part of his wages groceries or pro-
visions. the market value of the mer-
chandise must be reported by him as
income Compensation paid an EN-
ploye of q corporation in shares of
stock is to be treated as il the cor
pora ton sold the stock for its market
value and paid him in cash.
Promissory notes received in pay
ment for services and not merely as
security for payment constitute in
come to the amount of their fair mar
ket value. A taxpayer receiving as
compensation a note good for its face
value at maturity, but not bearing
interest. may treat as income as of
the time of receipt the fair discounted
value of the note at such time. If the
these should be included as income
in respect to each such payment SO
much thereof as represents recovery
for the discount deducted.
Board and lodging when furnished as
compensation for services must be
included as income. Thus, a hotel
clerk who is given room and meals
as part payment for his services must
report the fair value of such in his
income tax return.
