pei message is from God and for
man. The gospel message is a rev.
elation seen in the words, "He

to be made clear, hence the teach

VS.. 5, IL. "a sower went out to
SOW seed; and as he sowed, some
fell by the wayside; and it was
trodden down, and the fowls of the
air devoured it. Those by the
wayside are they that hear; then
cometh the devil, and taketh away
the word out of their hearts, lest
they should believe and be saved
The waySide hearers were the hard

hearing the word spoken that they
no longer took it in. In this class
are those who having listened to
sermon that ought to have stirred
them, stand on the church steps and
talk about the weather, and com

though nothing had happened.
Christ attributed this condition Of
affairs to the devil who uncon-
sciously control their attitudes
and prompts course that will lead
to their ruin.

a rock; and as soon as it was

and these have no root, which for
while believe, and in time of temp

the gospel message uncultivated be
cause there was only a thin layer
of soil suggesting a thin layer of
receptivity of soul. Conditions sucn
as these forbid seed taking root;
the gospel message therefore fails
to grip the soul. You may know
your heart condition by this test
does the gospel message grip you?

MANS FRIEND, THE DOG

The selfless love of the dog for
his master is one of the most amaz-
ing demonstrations in this astound-
ing and thrilling mystery of life.
1t surpasses all understanding.
1t cannot be explained away Gas
students have tried) simply on the
material basis of food.
The ancient evidence of the dogs
domestication from the wolf away
back in the prehistoric times, from
the hidden Dumps in what is now
Denmark denotes practical rea-
son for his adherence to man, it is
true. 1t cannot be denied that by
hanging around Camps of Pre-
Neanderthal Man, he managed to
sustain himself by grabbing scraps
of food
Through sufferance alone, no
doubt he remained and became ac-
quainted with Man and was attach
ed as Companion on Hunting trips
and as guard.
But this is not sufficient reason
to explain the thousands Of exam
pies of his blind love and devotion
to a master who in many cases is

Negro Elected
President Cuba

Havana, Cuba, July 18.-Tabula-
ton Monday of returns in Cuba's
presidential election Sunday indi-
Gated the election of Col. Fulgencio
Batista, Cuba's strong man, by an
approximate two to one vote over
his principal opponent, DR.. Ramon
Grau San Martin.
Batista came into power in 1888
when, as an army sergeant, he or
ganized the men in the ranks and
rid the country of the alleged
butchery of President Machado's
regime.
Born in Oriente province, large
ly populated by Cuban Negroes,
Batista has generally been styled
a Cuban Negro, his biographers in
dicating that he had Negro moth
er. He has never denied these re-
ports.
