TEXT-If there como any unto you and briny not this doctrino, roceivo bim not Into your bouse, neither bid him God speed: for ho that blddeth him God apood le partaker of his ovil deeds.-II John 10, ll. "Let not your house be made a basis of operations iigainst Christ." So says nn old writer, with our text in mind. "But," lt may ho asked, "are wo to he so narrow that wo cannot give an ordinary greeting of cour tesy to somedne who differs with us about some point of doctrine, and cannot en tertain such In a social way?"

Ho knew, as Wil should realise, that envrs ns to ( "dodiIno" produce oners as to lifo, j ?.paisa Liberality. Again, tho expression, "bring not this doctrine," points out tho person as a. teacher, not a mere traveler seeking hospitality. Dr. James Cul ross, an excellent Interpreter of .1 olin's j writings, well says: "Tho charge which John gives ls an antidote to | that so-called 'liberality' to which truth and falsehood are alike, which generally ends In huting truth with n murderous hatred. Whatever may bo done from Christian compassion or kindness, let lt be dono without hesita tion or fear; but lot lt be done ns compassion or kindness-in the spirit of the good Samari fan. John linds no fault with lt, and throws no hindrance tn Its way. But keep the distinction clear between doing a deed of Chris tian beneficence and giving holp to antl-Chrlstlan error." Therfnlse teacher l?- not only to bo refused hospitality, hut he is not to he bidden God speed, or ns tho Revised Version puts lt, we aro to "give him no greeting." John's languago would not necessarily preclude an ordinary greet ing of courtesy, but lt Involves sym pathy and approval, so as to make ono a partaker of the evil deeds of tho teacher. Such fraternal Intercourse is distinctly prohibited, We must be careful not to assume this exclusive attitude towards men who may dyYer with us ns to some non-essentlnl point of doctrine, for in sueli maHers there ls room for largo charity In the church. John hus In mind moro especially the teachers of that day who denied that "Jesus Christ ls come In the flesh." As to such n point, Involving tho full Deity and true manhood of our Lord, wo must he altogether uncompromising. The Incarnation the Center. On this very matter of the Incarna tion, Professor Orr has sahl: "Many tendencies, ure nt present In operation to \yeaken this doctrine- speculative 'and evolutionary theories, doctrines ol divino Immanence, and pantheistic Identification of God and man; above all, tl/e powerful bentjO? tho spirit of the age towards a non-sunernnturul In terpretation of the facts and truths of religion. It ia a necessity of the life of the church to resist these tenden' clcs and to contend for n Christ who ls ns essentially divine In nature and personality ns He ls human in his form of manifestation-who ls tho very Word of God become flesh (John 1:14)." John's directions as to our nttltudo may well ho npplled to many of tho so-cnlled union meetings of these .times, when representatives of other faiths than the evangelical- are given places on tho program, ns though such .differences of doctrine wore of no mo ment.

WOOD SEASONED BY OZONE French Scientist Seems to Have fiolvod Problem Which Has Long Puzzled Furniture Makers. Oreen wood warps, ns ls well known, and plnno-makors aro obliged to keep wood for a period of ten years or I more beforo they con convert lt Into plano ?ralhpsi and In tho building trade timber otter, remains In the yard for several years befare lt eau ho fashioned into doers and window saches. This ls to permit lt to dry thoroughly. Until the sap bas ex hausted Itself, the wood ls liable to warp. The holding up of largo stacks of timber in this way ls expensive and exceedingly tiresome when this wood Is required urgently. Somo have attempted to overcome tho dldlculty by dehydrating or drying tho timber In .specially constructed ovens, but without much success. Now a French scientist, M. Otto, has discovered that all kinds of wood can bo seasoned rapidly and efficiently by means of ozone. Ho has established a factory In Paris and another nt Milan, In Italy, where various species of wood aro being treated by the new process. In two weeks freshly cut timber Is ready for the cabinet maker, and ls ns dry as' If It hud been exposed to the air for years. The timber is luid in spe cially built chambers, through which ozono ls made to pass at n uniform heat. Ozono ls air highly charged with certain* electrical qualities.

The expedition was particularly equipped with Instruments and appar atus for deep-sea explorations and rec ords. The greatest depth roached was about four miles.

Ii\ n report to tho Technical Asso ciation of the Pulp and Paper Indus try, which has been holding Its an nual meeting nt Detroit, George D. Beurce, engineer for tho News Print Service bureau, described experiments on the substitution of wood bark, prop erly prepared, for coal, stating thnt the "enormous quantity of pulp wood which ls used in the paper business is evidence of Its potential fuel value to the industry." . ' T.ie quantity of hath In pulp yvnofl, sal J Mr. Bearce, amounts to approxi mately ten per cent of the volume ond waight of thu rough wood, or ??>0 pounds of dry bark pet cord of wood. One hundred cords of pulp wood rep resents npproxlmntely 25,000 pounds of dry bark that has a fuel value equnl to eight tons of coal, If tho moisture of the bork ls reduced hy one-lialf. The heating value, Mr. Bearce stoked, Increases greatly If the moisture con tent of the hark ls lessoned. A large number of mills using pulp wood wore visited or questioned by Mr. Booree and the committee which he headed. Many stated that they con sidered the hork of little value. Tests made for tho committee showed thnt two types of processes were able to reduce the moisture content to about 00 per cent, and that lt would he neces sary to have nt least CO per cent of the moisture removed If the bark wcro to serve os a suitable substitute for coal. Special draft conditions, n grate surface giving correct combustion, and refractory walls to dry out tho moist ure are required, sold Mr?Bearce. Under these conditions it was held by the committee that th? bark could be used as fuel and thus effect a sav ing of n iRrge amount of cool.
