IC-Christian Words and Works.
Christian speech and conduct may
well be studied in the book of
James, for he stresses the iInpor-
lance of works as demonstrating
faith. There are two common err
rors-one is to attempt to be justi-
fed by good works apart from faith
in the Lord Jesus Christine other
is to talk about believing in him
and then fail to live in accordance
with ones profession. Some have
assumed that James fell into the
former error, urging works as a
substitute for faith, but an intelli-
gent reading of his epistle clearly
indicates that he is in no sense con-
tradicting the Scripture doctrine of
justification by faith, but is show
ing that protested faith which does
not result in Christian living is in
reality dead and useless thing.
l. Christian Talk wv. 1-12l.
AS he enters upon his searching
and convicting discussion of the
tongue and its misuse the writer dis
tinguishes between

peculiar responsibility because they

at the sacred desk. It is not
place to be sought after, and the
man who fills it at Gods call needs
divine grace and direction that he
may speak the truth.

OF every one Of us counts either for
or against God, even though we
may not fill the teachers chair or
stand in the pulpit.
O. A single danger (vv. 3-12). All
OF us have the one danger-lack Of
tongue-control. Developing that
thought the text first points out that
a. Powerful things need control
(vv. $50. The horse is a wild and
useless animal without the directing
and restraining bit. A ship without
a rudder will be lost. A tongue
needs direction and control, for
While little thing, it is tremen-
5aaaaly powerful
4 b. An uncontrolled tongue Is dam
eerous ((vv. $50. How vivid is the
imagery Of the words before us. A
ire spreading and destroying, an
mtamed animal running wild In all
Its fury, deadly poison eating
away the life-such is the uncon-
trolled tongue.
We recognize the truth of these
things. We see how vile and care
less speech debases man, how words
chosen for their power to destroy
pour forth from the press, over the
1ootlights, from man to man and lit
orally "set on fire the course of

SHANGHAI, Oct. 20 R.-Foreign
military experts-like physicians
watching q rare operation in surgical
mphitheater-studied the battle Of
Shanghai today from lofty observation
posts.
Never In modern history, they said,
have military observers had the OPP
portunity to observe war operations in
such broad clinical fashion.
Armed with telescopes and maps
these experts, perched on skyscrapers,
apartment houses and hotels, have
viewed the spectacular moves Of both
forces on the panoramic battle front
by day and by night.
United States Marine Corps oficers
had probably the finest observation
post of all-the top OF the 22-story
Park Hotel
The British occupied the tower Of
the Metropole Hotel and the French
had an elaborate system Of observation
posts on the roofs Of the highest
buildings in the French concession.

had flexible requirements, which shift
ed automatically up and down with
ascending and descending markets.
Although there was no indication OF
q return TO this system, some informed
persons predicted the Reserve Board
would act more often hereafter to
keep margins more closely hitched to
market trends.
If the market should mount sharply,
for instance, they said there was little
likelihood the board would retain short
margins at level 10 per cent above
those on the buying side.
After the Reserve Board action at
tention switched to the S. E. c. and
the Tresury for possible further steps.
Financial spokesmen have contended
relaxation of commission rules on
market insiders would tend to buoy
the market. Both Wall Streeters and
business representatives generally have
urged modification of the taxes on un-
distributed corporate profits and on
capital gains.
The latter levy, especially, has been
blamed by many as q factor in the
market slump. Some authorities con-

Rising 8 feet since 8 o'clock, the

Based on reports of An 18-foot rise

feet when the water from the Upper
Potomac Valley reaches here, which
will probably be tonight or early TO-

Town officials, business men and
residents located near the river are
taking precautionary measures to
guard against possible danger. Fami-
lies living along the river have been
warned to prepare to move.
Another flood like that Of March,
1885. or last year, is not indicated,
observers said.
The Potomac was up feet at Han
cock and still rising. A report from
there at noon said the bridge across
the Potomac had been closed owing
to debris collecting at the piles around
the temporary span erected some time
ago to replace the section carried
away in the last flood.
Water had reached the backyards
of some of the homes in the western
section of the town, which has
