From the outskirts Of Hankow came
reports that hundreds Of refugees. left

There is no place to bury the dead.
Thousands Of corpses float down the

spreading between Hankow and Nam

is unbearable. It would be worse but

the miserable, unclad refugees adding

advertising today" he said, lis I'M
doubtedly one of the greatest forces in
the business structure Of the United
States. 1t Is a motive force which
keeps the wheels of business progress
moving. 1t is a competitive stabilizer
which keeps business on an even keel
and, although business may slow up at
times, as 1t has for the last year and
a half, yet advertising continues to be
an indispensable force to keep business
moving
The manufacturer cannot continue
to make his product unless he can sell
it to the distributor or the dealer, and
the dealer cannot continue to stay in
business unless he sells to the con-
Sumer, and the answer Is advertisting."

Howard, chairman of the clubs Sport
Committee, that the golf tournament
scheduled today at Columbia Country

no physical condition to stand
more than one session a day, the
second meeting of the board OF
inquiry that is conducting hear

him was held this afternoon.
The hearing of the charges fol

one of the board rooms of the

the trial, not being allowed

The trial is more in the nature
of a grand jury hearing. If two

charges they can suspend the
bishop until 1884 when the next
general council of the church is
called, and he must stand triaI

find him guilty of the charges
however, nor can they inflict any
penalty other than suspension.

Wa under these circumstances
that certain men from JLdea be-
gan TO teach that there could be
no salvation without the fulfill
ment Of certain requirements OF the
Jewish law. Dispute at M arose
rs Paul and Barnabas opposed
such teachings, and II was this
that led TO their going up to
Jerusalem to discuss with the
apostles and elders these questions.
At Jerusalem. however. the con-
tentious issues were not easily
settled. The whole controversy
broke out afresh. Peter took a
good stand, pointing out that he
had himself ministered 70 the Gen.
tiles and that as the Gospel had
brought q vital experience OF re
ligion TO them. they should not
bring the Gentle Christians under
q yoke which, as he said, neither
they nor their fathers we're able to
bear" With q clearness 70 which
he did not always adhere In further
controversy, he put the matter OF
salvation upon the basis or the
grace Of God in Christ Jesus Paul
told the story or the miracles and
wonders that he had seen wrought
among the Gentiles In his m.ssi~a-
airy journey. and James declared
that they should not trouble those
Gentiles who were turning 10 the
Christian faith by requiring OF
them ritual observance Of the law.
but should call upon them only for
moral conduct In accordance with
Christian faith and profession
So the result or the council was
that chosen men we're sent back
70 Antioch with Paul and Barna-
has. Letters were sent giving
greetings TO the Gentiles In An
tioch and In Asia, assuring them
that there was no purpose on the
part OF the church TO demand OBJ
servance OF Jewish ritual. This
message 70 the new cnnv~ Is laid
stress upon their obligations TO
keep their lives pure and I'M
spotted from their licentious en-
vironment.
