If Jesus is being hid today, who
is hiding Him?
How can we remove the screens
that shut Him in?
How should we treat strangers
especially foreigners?
Why did Jesus go to the region
of Tyre and Sidon?
Why was Jesus slow to respond
to the call of the Syrophoeniciar
woman?
What was Jesus conception Of
religion?
To what length shall one be will
ing to go to express his religious
loyalty?

"A Lenten Lesson

DR.. Charles K. Jefferson has said ::
"There are three things which ey-
eryone can do during Lent First,
he can think more about God He
can think of Gods love in Christ.
He can think of his relation to God.
To think of God is the path to power
and peace aud gladness. Every
Christian can think of God five min
utes day on every day in Lent. He
ought to do it.
In the second place, one can give
up unworthy things which one has
been doing-things which handicap
and mar ones life. One can for
40 days make an earnest effort to
break the habit of criticism or of
fault finding or of foolish repining
or of talking about ones Ills.
In the third place, we can take
up things which we have been neg
lecting. We can strengthen a weak
ened virtue, add to the number Of
our graces, cultivate some corner of
the heart which has gone to weeds.
1t we have been neglectful of our
obligations to the church, we can
do better.
Lent should be glad and not dole
full, not respondent but jubilant. In
every season of the year we should
be radiant because we are followers
of one who has overcome.

sermons inordinately long. There is
a record of meeting in Maine that

he preached funeral sermon that

Plans are being made to hold a

and other leaders have sent letters
to the outstanding representatives
of India, England, Russia, China

inviting their participation. The

Hon. e. j. Mildren Wants Road
Assessments Stopped

Representative E. j. Mildren from
Washington county was one of the
main speakers at a public hearing
held last week by the highway COM
mittee of the house of representa-
tiyes, at Columbus.
Thousands of people were present
urging the passage of bill which
would cancel all unpaid state high
way assessments and would repay
the assessments that have been paid.
The money required to do this
would be taken by Rllocating a GER
tain portion of the gas tax for this
purpose. Representative Mildren,
speaking in behalf Of all measures
which have been introduced on this
subject, said: "I appear here before
you as a representative from Wash
ington county. 1 want to tell you
that the people living along state
highways in my county cannot pay
any more state highway assess
state highway assessments help to
build, are furnishing transportation
for the motorists of Ohio. 1t is on
ly right, just and fair to use at
least this portion OF the revenue
which is developed by the use of
the highways which have been con-
structed to pay for the outstanding
indebtedness yet due. Members of
the committee, urge upon you at
this time to forget party politics
and to forget geographical locations
that you represent and put your
selves in the place of the farmers
living upon state highways who are
forced to pay state highway assess
ments and still pay their gas tax.
This is a time when the people de-
mand action. We are now in the
afternoon of the work of this Goth
general assembly. This question of
highway assessments and highway
Indebtedness is the biggest question
to be considered by the members OF
this house If it is successfully
handled, one-half of our other leg
islation is finished. / am obliged to
do all in my power to help correct
this road wrong. i am here ready
to vote for any bill that this COM
mittee wishes to recommend, wheth-
er it be mine, Mr. Eikenberry's, Mr..
Horizons or any other bill that will
correct this I demand action, and
| know that the real estate owners
all over the state OF Ohio are de-
manding action from each and every
representative here. This bill is
fair and just. ] hope the commit
tee recommends it for passage.
The measure will be named the
Eikenberry- -Mildren bill, according
to suggestions given by members of
the highway committee.

Christ as their Saviour. Other
cards were given those who had
formally accepted Christ. With re-
quest from the teachers for earnest
prayer and study on the part of the
scholars, before signing the cards,
the decision was~left entirely for the
young people to make. There was
no over-urging, no hasty signing of
cards. On Decision Day the service
was simple but impressive. Signed
cards were handed to the teachers,
there was a period Of silent prayer,
then hymns and special greetings
Of encouragement to those who had
made decisions. In the week fol-
lowing, the cards were given to the
pastor, who later returned them to
their owners with personal note.

Scent Postage A Mighty Blunder
Congressman James M Mead of
New York, chairman of the House
committee on post offices and post
roads, has reached the conclusion
that one of the greatest blunders
ever committed in connection with
the operation of the mail service of
the country was the increase in first
class rates from two to three cents
per ounce, provided for in the rev.
enue act of last year. Mr.. Mead
has served notice that he will in
troduce a bill to restore two cent
postage, during the present special
session of congress.
The whole history of the postal
service, from the days of BENJAMIN
Franklin down to the present,
shows that attempts to wipe out or
reduce the deficit in postal revenues
through increasing the rate of pos
tage on letters has in every instance
produced the exact opposite effect
from that desired, according to Mr..
Mead. Publicity Bureau.

one, even a fatal stranger, subtle
influences that reveal his nature and
make him known.
: V.25. "But straightway wom-
an, whose little daughter had an
unclean spirit, having heard of Him,
came and fell at His feet" A true
mother is greatly touched by the
infirmities and wrongs OF her chill
dren, and they are the first to seek
refuge and strength; this may be
the reason why women naturally
find Christ first
VS.. 26, 81. N"And she besought
Him that, He would cast forth the
demon out Of her daughter. And
He said unto her, Let the children
first be filled; for it is not meet to
take the children's bread and cast it
to the dogs" Here is a Gentle
seeking Christ, although He had
given preference to the chosen peo-
pie of God, the Hebrew race; here
was great need which appealed to
Him regardless of nationality. Christ
moved slowly, however, possibly to
try her faith.
v. %. \ but she answered and
said unto Him, Yea Lord; even the
dogs under the table eat of the chill
dren's crumbs There was no con-
dition too humble or too hard for
her, if she might only receive the
needed help from Christ; the least
word of healing from Him would be
enough. Here is fine example of
acceptable prayer-earnest, humble,
sincere, with persistent faith.
VS.. 20, 80. "And He said unto
her, For this saying go thy way; the
demon is gone out of thy daughter.
And she went away unto her house
and found the child laid upon. her
bed, and the demon gone out" The
woman got far more than she ask
ed-the instruction and commenda-
faith here are that faith is found Of
ten where it is least expected; it is
rooted in Jesus, it is manifested in
coming to Jesus and in persistent
prayer Such faith overcomes in
superable obstacles, obtains all it
asks, pleases Christ, and wins COM
mendation.
VS.. 81, 80. "And He came
through the midst of Decapolis. And
they bring unto Him one that was
deaf, and had an impediment ia his
speech: and they beseech Him to lay
His hands on him." Here is anoth-
er Gentle who was in great need of
healing, and there was also faith in
the healing power of Christ.
VS.. 33, "a "And He took him
aside from the multitude privately,
and put his fingers into his ears,
and he spat and touched his tongue.
And looking up into heaven, He
sighed and said unto him, Ephapha-
tha, that is be opened Jesus al
lowed the use. of physical means,
thus honoring medical means; but
he pointed to heaven as the source
of all needed help. The Christian
ministry of healing makes a combi-
nation Of medical skill and sincere
faith in God. The results. restored
in hearing and speech, was proof
of Christ, the Son of God.
V. SO. "And He charged them
that they should tell no man; but
the more He charged them, SO much
the more great deal they publish
ed it, Christ always sought to
subordinate His work of healing to
his infinitely greater task of teach
ing men about God.
v. 81. "And they were beyond
measure astonished, saying He hath
done all things we'll; He maketh
even the deaf to hear, and the dumb
to speak" This eulogy fits the
whole life and work of Jesus.
