WANTED: A HOMELAND

Shortly, according to dispatch
from London, the United States,
Great Britain, France, Holland, and
Brazil will confer in the British
capital to discuss relief for Jews
from Germany
We hope the conference takes
place. But the British dominions
and the Soviet Union should also be
present. For the British Empire
and Russia together occupy approx
mately three-fifths of the habitable
globe and what is needed is not a
partial palliative but a permanent
solution of the larger problem faced
by Jewry as whole
Great Britain has long made a
considerable show of her interest in
this problem, as witness the Bal
four promise in Palestine. But she
doesn't always perform up to her
promises. And when it comes to
admitting Jewish refugees into her
own tight little isles, she is ex-
tremely reluctant. There are only
some 100000 Jews among the AS
100000 people of tht United King
dom, or one to every $50 inhabi-
tants. And she doesn't want any
more

SERMONOGRAMS

We need the night to make us en-
joy the day.
Occupation and focusing thoughts
on your blessings are conducive to
happiness.
Envy no one; envy breeds worry
Every thought that comes out of
the brain had to go in first.
Love builds homes, gold builds
houses.
Cheerfulness is what greases the
axles of the world.
The people who never make mis-
takes are the people who never ac-
complish anything.
What one gives, determines what
he receives. Love responds to love,
hate answers hate.
AS are the habits of thoughts,
such also will be the character OF
the mind.
He who measures friendship, by
what he can get out of it is not a
true friend.
There are souls in this world that
have the gift of finding joy every
where.-Faber.
One good thing about telling the
truth is that you do not have to re-

over the plight Of the Jews, has

BUREAU REVIEWS OHIO
BUSINESS

Ohio State University's bureau
of business research gives this
glimpse Of autumn business condi
tions in Ohio:
Retail trade in Ohio increased
substantially in September from
August. The September gain in re-
tail sales amounted to 10 percent
for the Independent stores Of the
state. and to 81 percent for depart.
ment stores. AS compared with
September, 1887, however, sales OF
Independent stores were down %
percent, and of department stores
IA percent. New passenger automo
bile sales and truck sales in Sep
tember were down 81 percent and
rs percent, respectively, from Aug
ust, and were substantially below
September, 1887.
Agricultural income was sub
stantially unchanged in September
from August The gains in income
from meat animals and poultry and
eggs were offset. by the greater de-
clines in income from grains and
dairy products.
Bank debts in Ohio gained 1e
percent in September from August.
but were 20 percent below Septem.
ber, 1887. For the first nine
months of the year, bank debts
have averaged 21 percent below the
corresponding period of 1897.
Construction activity continued to
increase in September, when there
was gain of 16 percent from Aug.
ust in the value Of contracts award
ed. The September gain, however,
was due primarily to the IA percent
Increase in public works and utili.
ties contracts. The value of resi-
Dental contracts in September drop
ped 18 percent, and of nonresident
tial contracts, five percent, from
August. AS compared with Septem-
Der, 1887, the value of construction
contracts awarded in September
gained 25 percent.
Employment in the manufactur-
ing industries gained four percent
in September from August. Non
manufacturing employment gained
three percent. Construction employ
.ment, however, was down one per-
cent

Honesty In All Things, Exodus
2O:15; Luke 1910, 45-46, for
Sunday, Nov. 27:
The gospel of Jesus Christ is bas.
ed on certain very homely virtues
among which is common honesty.
v. Is. "Thou shalt not steal. :
This commandment is necessary not
only for the protection of the indi-
vidual, but for the welfare of the
community and the maintenance Of
orderly government. God requires
honesty in all things. To be truly
honest one must take God into ac-
count as well as himself and 9TH
ers.
VS.. 1, q "And Jesus entered and
passed through Jericho and behold
there was a man named Zaccheus
which was the chief among the pub
licans, and he was rich" In treat
ing the subject Of honesty, the
scriptures here selected have to do
with the cure of dishonesty as
taught in the conversion of FAC
cheus who being publican was
likely guilty of dishonesty. His Of
fee allowed him to be legal graft
er which may account for his being
rich. 1t is question whether one
in his lifetime can honestly earn
enough to be rich.
V. 8. "And he sought to see Je-
sus who he was; and could not for
the press, because he was little Of
stature" Jesus on his way to Je-
rusalem was hailed by great crowds
and likely out of curiosity Zaccheus
was anxious for look at him.
Curiosity is not the highest motive,
but if it gets one in touch with
Christ it has served a good purpose.
v. A. "And he ran before, and
climbed into a sycamore tree to see
him; for he was to pass that way"
Evidently there was the element of
earnestness in Zaccheus for he ran
and climbed tree. Likely he was
making himself subject of ridi-
cule in climbing into tree but
when one can take ridicule when
seeking Christ he has high hopes Of
finding the Lord. Character is test
ed by how much one can take OF
jeers, criticism and ridicule.
". 5. "And when Jesus came to
the place, he looked up, and saw
him, and said unto him, Zaccheus,
make haste, and come down; for to-
day / must abide at thy house. ;"
Jesus was evidently seeking Zac-
cheus, which portrays the fact that
God is seeking every one through
truth, beauty, compassion and con-
science. Jesus evidently knew the
inner life of Zaccheus, who was in
receptive mood which enabled the
Lord to give him a call to closer
fellowship. The door of fellowship
and communion is open to such as
yield to him in desires and I'M
pulses to be counted among His fol-
lowers.

v. 6. "And he made haste, and
came down, and received him joyful
ly'' The public honor conferred
upon him by Jesus awakened in him
joy and gratitude and a feeling that
he really amounted to something in
spite of his bad reputation.
v. 7. "And when they saw it,
they all murmured, saying, That He
had gone to be guest with sim
ner.'' The effect Of Jesus words
were like an electric shock. To dine
with such despised man was not a
popular thing to do. But Jesus car
ed nothing for popularity; he want
ed to see Zaccheus be better man.
Now something must have happen
ed that effected an inner change in
Zaccheus which produced the con-
fession: "Behold, Lord, the half of
my goods I give to the poor; but II
1 have taken any thing from any
man by false accusations, l restore
him fourfold." His pocket book
was converted when his soul was
converted, which is a fairly good
test of ones sincerity. Here is the
cure for dishonesty. 1t was not the
ten commandments that made the
change but the love Of God in
Christ
VS.. 8, 10. ''And Jesus said un-
to him, This day is salvation come
to this house, for the Son Of Man is
cono to seek and save that which
was lost, forsomuch as he also is
son of Abraham Zaccheus was a
son of Abraham in the natural sense
who now had become such in spir-
itual sense also. Salvation was
Christ's objective and it ought to be
the objective of his followers. With
out salvation men are lost according
to these words of Christ. Living is
a serious business.
VS.. As. 46. "And he went into
the temple, and began to cast out
them that sold therein, and them
that bought, saying unto them, 1t
is written, My house is the house OF
prayer; but We have made it a den
of thieves Avarice and religion
are deadly enemies. There can be
no compromise between the things
of Satan and the things of God.
Making profit in the temple was out
of harmony with the public worship
of God Dishonesty can not take
cover under religion when God
speaks.

property rights" /"

property rights"
What is the difference between
property rights and human rights?
What is the cure for stealing?
Glorious says: "There are so many
tricks today that amount to the
same thing as stealing: Misrepre-
sentations of truth to make a bar
gain, adulterating foods, selling
worthless stock, not giving full mea-
sure, getting something for moth
ing, not doing full days work for
a full days pay, not allowing a
workman the money he earns, etc. :"
Lesson prayer: 1--WE believe it is
possible to be absolutely honest;
help us often to raise the question
for ourselves: rs this absolutely
honest?' We would be saved from
the sin of stealing"

European churches are as rule
very old. Bishop Torsten Ysander
! of Sweden declares that not a single
church in his home community is
less than 900 years old. All are sur
mounted by tall crosses-testimon
lals of the faith of the fathers.
Thousands are giving away all
their possessions to join a new re.
ligious movement which is sweep
ing through Yukoslavia. More than
400 local brotherhoods have been
organized and tens of thousands of
members enrolled. They advocate a
return to the original primitive life
of the evangelists, free from the
burdens of their earthly posses
sions, and call themselves "God-

Aug. 81, 1888, marked the 25Oth
anniversary of the death Of John
Bunyan, and particular attention is
being called to his writings, espec-
Jolly Pilgrims Progress, which was
begun in Bedford Jail, and publish
ed ten years before his death. Dur
ing that ten years 100000 copies of
the book were sold, ''an amazing
achievement for those days" Be-
fore the middle of the next century
it had been translated into six for
eign languages, which number by
the end of the nineteenth century
had been increased to over one hun
dred. 1t has even been adapted in
Roman Catholic edition, though
with notifications and interpoIa-
tiOns.

service of the city's clergymen was
