Trains and Buses.

Trains and buses operating in and

and congcSted with passengers for
several weeks and have indicated the
extent I, which the general public
is moving about either in anticipa-
tion of the winter season or the APP
preaching holidays.
Main line trains on the SeabOard
railway have been operated for days
in two on more sections, and half a
dozen or more coaches, in addition
TO the usual Pullman accommoda-
lions have not been uncommon as
necessities for taking care OF traffic
demands. 1t has seemed that travel
has been heavier southbound than
northbound. though cars have been

Buses calling at the terminal here
have also shown indications Of
traffic. and at times seat
have been so much
AT a premium as to require addition
al facilities for parts Of schedules
north and south.
Low fares have prevailed, both as
10 one-Way and round trip tickets,
and many have found it more deSira-
BILE to use the carriers than their
own automobiles for certain trips.
During and before the weekend
students away from home at college
or university were much in evidence
on their way to spend the holidays
with parents on other relatives. Thou
sands of soldiers have been return

carriers have found it difficult to

costs about SOC to SOC more per

struction and it will quickly pay
for itself in heat saved and added

Window Frames Permanent
Remember window frames are
permanent part of the wall in your
new home. To tear them out and
replace them is not only mess
but a big expense as well. The
easiest way to avoid leaky window
frames in your new home is to buy
frames that make q weathertight

HOW'RE YOU BETTING?

quently totalling millions.
It was back in that era, 1903 to
be specific, that brokers making
book on the electio actually record
ed 10000 to l against the chances
Of one of the candidates. The long
shot entry was Eugene V. Debs,
perennial Socialist candidate.
That same campaign demonstrate

knew considerable about their bust

the go l favorite over Bryan;
by October the odds heightened to

chances were rated at to /, with
few takers.
Anyone who believes th2 pro-
fessional wagerers are infallible
should thumb back the record to
1916 when it is estimated from five
to ten million dollars changed
hands on the result.
Wilson and Hughes were the
leading contenders, with Wilson on
the inside trach because he was
up for reelection. In September,
1916, the financial district in New
York was betting 2 to l on Hughes.
In October the ODDS were 10 to

They may be wrong again in,

for readers to confine themselves
to freak bets, if any at all are
made. Perhaps the most ingenious
of these occurred in that same 1915
election.

He is at hand who doth betray

He is at hand who doth betray
me- Into the hands of sinners"
One feels that the cup of the Master
is already overfull without adding
betrayal by one of His own, but
there it is, dark and tragic reality.
Note with what peace and assurance
Jesus goes to meet it. The victory
has already been won in prayer,
in communion with the Father, and
in submission to His will.
No one of us will ever know such
a betrayal as that of our Lord, but
we do face similar crises as we go
on in a life of devotion to Gods
will. We do we'll to remember the
experience of Christ that we be not
overwhelmed by the treachery of
men and that we prepare ourselves
to meet it with the power and grace
of our God.
V. A Way of Divine Fellowship
and Blessing wv 80, 40.
The way of surrender is glorious
and delightful way to go. But,
some one may ask, have we not
been talking of sorrow, self-denial,
loneliness and betrayal? Yes, but
even these things may become the
means of blessing if God is in them.
Though no man stood by our Lord
in His experience in Gethsemane.
the Father was there. Jesus talked
with Him, prayed to Him, trusted
Him, yielded fully to His will, and
the result was peace and blessing.
We read in Luke 22:43 that an angel
also came and strengthened Him.

Surrender brings victorY.

Surrender brings victory.
The world would say that our
statement is not true: surrender is
the mark of defeat. 1t is the final
chapter in a story Of struggle
against impossible circumstances,
against a stronger power, and final
1y Of giving up to accept the bitter
sorrow Of subsection and sometimes
destruction. But again we say, the
way of strength is through surren-
der, for we speak of the spiritua.
realm and of our relationship tc
God. Here there is no victory unit!
there is surrender In fact, the
measure of victory is the degree OF
surrender. Full submission tC
Christ means complete triumph for
the Christian. The Lord Jesus does
not ask His disciples to walk way
which He has not trod Himself. He
went the way of full surrender to
the will of God in the garden of
Gethsemane. We observe FIVE
things about this way of triumph
through surrender" It was
/. A Way of Sorrow (vv. 81, 38).
He was exceedingly sorrowful
unto death. 1t was not an easy thing
that the Saviour did as He fulfilled
the will of God the Father in the
garden. We know that no man ever
sorrowed as He did on that day, for
only He bore the sins of the world.
There is, however, lesson here
for us who are His disciples. If
this is the road the Master trod,
should not His servants tread it still?
The way of victory for US is through
surrender
III. A Way of Self-Denial wv. 80,
AZ, Az.
Self-denial does not consist in de-
priving ones self Of some little cher
ished luxury. 1t means the denial
of self, namely, that self-will is
put aside and Gods will is supreme.
1t was no "easy thing for Jesus
to carry out the Fathers will and
to go to the cross. He was sub
missive to that will; yet in this hour
of anguish in the garden, when the
unspeakable horror of what lay
ahead almost overwhelmed His soul,
it means much to say, Not as !
will but as thou wilt Or. B. L.
OlmsteadD. 1t may be hard thing
to do, but by His grace we toe
may say, THY will be done"
III. A Way of Loneliness wv. Sc,
81, 40 Al, 49,.
There were three disciples with
Him as He entered the garden, and
their very presence reminds us how
very much alone Jesus actually was.
There were twelve with Him in the
upper room, but one went out into
the darkness to betray Him. Eleven
came with Him to the gate of the
garden, but only three came into
the garden with Him. Even they
could not go all the way with Him.
He prayed and agonized alone, and
the three who were near at hand
failed Him and slept through the
dark hour when He most needed
their fellowship in sympathy and
sprayer.
2 he? If the Master had to walk
tn : Way of surrender alone, let nc
Christian expect that it will be
otherwise for him. Let us thank
God for every blessing of true fell
lowship, but let us not be surprised
if we are often called to walk alone
with God.

Il IS true that wedding presents
are the property of the bride. but
with the exception Of very few
gifts intended for her personal
use. must Of the things sent her
are also intended for the groom.
In many cases. presents are sent
by friends of his and solely on his
account. For this reason. a rule
applying to all presents collectively
is not possible TO give to the writer
of the following letter:
My daughter was married over
a year ago and recently passed
away. Under the circumstances.
will you tell me who is entitled
to the wedding presents Our
family gave the bride many lovely
things of them for her per-
sonal use. most of them for their
house. We have two other daugh-
tiers who are engaged and who
would like to have some OF their
sisters things. But our son-in-law
hasn't said word to us about
any of them. He has renewed his
lease on the house and has gotten
himself a very poor servant who.

will gradually ruin everything that
my daughter loved"
l am more than sorry to have
to give an answer which will
probably be disappointing. but un-
less your daughter left a will
definitely leaving some of her
personal things to you or TO her
sisters. it is my belief that every
thing is his This. however, is not
legal opinion. but given merely
from what I know has happened
in similar cases. Taking it for
granted that you do not want TO
go to law about it, perhaps
relative or mutual friend might
suggest to him that her family
would like TO have a few of the
things that were hers or once be-
longed to them. He might be very
glad to offer them. On the other
hand, if they are new furnishings
and appointments that he uses and
he has no others. he is certainly
within his right to keep them.
