business was at a standstill.
AS the day wore on the disorders got
out of hand and guns reared all over
the city. The situation looked extremely
grave.
The women appeared to be united
against continuing the strike and in
many places they appeared pleading
with their men to come home, out of
danger. Some of them insisted their
husbands return to work, threatening to
discontinue their meals unless they did.
The general strike in Barcelona was
called by the SyndicaliSts, radical
labor organization, in an effort to force
the dismissal of Anguera de SOLO, the
civil governor. because he had refused
to libarate political prisoners.
The prisoners, most of whom are
Syndicalists, had been thrown into Jail
for political activities directed not only
against the Catalonian government,
which has its seat at Barcelona, but also
against the central government at
Madrid.

EFFICIENCY AGE
"Many today congratulate
themselves that they are living
in a very practical age, an age
of efficiency, an age when lost
motion is rdeuced to mini
mum. Suppose we ask them a
question. How efficient has been
the method of retaliation in
overcoming wrong?
"It has been employed for
thousands Of years by individ-
uals, tribes, and nations IN their
attempt to adjust wrongs, and
is still in use. Do you know of
a single instance in which an
Offense has been overcome by
that method? Not one. There
is but one method by which the
trouble can be wiped out. There
Is only one successful way to
deal with it. The way Jesus
pointed out: forgiveness. Aleyn
the poet puts it this way:
1.-THE fine and noble way to
kill a foe
Is not to kill him; you with
kindness may
So change him, that he shall
cease to be;
Then he Is Slain.'"

FORGIVENESS TOLD
The lecturer said in part:
"AnOther outstanding charac-
teriStic Of Jesus was his readi-
ness to forgive. The old law had
said, AN eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth This was
the law Of retaliation, but Jesus
presented what was looked upon
as a moral innovation. He said,
Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for
them which deSpitefully use you,
and perSecute you Even his
disciples were amazed at such a
doctrine.
"SOme time later Peter came
to Jesus with a question. He
wanted to know whether there
was to be any limit to this new
rule. So he asked Jesus, How
oft shall my brother sin against
me, and 1 forgive him? till seven
