tumorous Jlrpartmcnt Too Lato.?A tall, apparently Ill-fed woman came to the door. She looked at the traveler in amazement for some minutes, and was resentful when he made known his wants. "We've et," she said in a reproachful tone. "Tom's gone to town to fetch cornmeal." Infering from this that there was no solid food in the larder, the traveler cheerfully suggested a glass of milk. Again the woman shook her head, while her sallow visage lengthened. "Tom went an' forgot to milk the cow. He won't be back till even." This seemed to be the traveler's opportunity both to show his good nature and to obtain a glass of milk. "I'd be glad to milk her for you," he offered. "I was brought up on a farm." Again the woman shook her head. "Ye can't, stranger." And this time her resentment was tinged with futile regret. "Tom rid the cow to town."? Charleston Post. Rather Ambigioua.?Reference having been made to ambiguous remarks, Senator James A. O'Gorman said he was reminded of a little incident along that line, says the Philadelphia Telegraph. Some time since an esteemed citizen named Smith was stricken with a fever and for a day or two was unconscious. On the third day he began to get a grasp on things again and glanced around the room. "What is it, dear?'' asked Smith's devoted wife; hastening to his side. "What can I do for you?" "Where am I?" responded Smith, still & little bewildered, as he glanced back and forth. "Where am I? Am I in heaven?" "No, dear," softly cooed the loving wife. "I am still with you."

" 'Dentist, eh?" said the civilian. 'The pinchess, then are to pull the teeth out with. But the hammer? wot's the hammer for?' " 'The hammer,' said the blacksmith, 'is for use in bad cases to chloroform the patients.'" Genuine Article.?It appears that at the rehearsal of a play a wonderful climax had been reached, which was to be heightened by the effective use of the usual thunder and lightning. The stage carpenter was given the order. The words were spoken, and instantly a noise which resembled a succession of pistol shots was heard off the wing. "What on earth are you doing, man?" shouted the manager, rushing behind the scenes. "Do you call that thunder? It is not a bit like it." "Awful sorry, sir," responded the carpenter, "but the fact is, sir, I couldn't hear you because of the storm. That was real thunder, sir." She Looked.?"I lost a dollar at the matinee this afternoon," remarked the fleshy woman to her husband, "and I never was so anery in my life." "How'd It happen?" asked the man.

SOME OF THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES An Interesting Study in Which the Writer Concludes that War is God's \a?< Dimi<kinn PriH* and Dis obedience of Mankind. Russia has declared for temperance; Prance is beginning to pray; England is following the lead of Russia against drinking. Who can read the signs of the times and give the full meaning of these important facts? Does it mean that only for reasons of expediency and because of the war pressure these nations are reversing their usual customs? Perhaps their governments and their people may see nothing further in these great changes than is quite natural in view of the tremendous expenses and losses of the war. But perhaps there may be a deeper meaning; also it may be that history is repeating itself, a habit that history acquired long ago. Several thousand years ago a certain tribe of people settled in a pleasant and fertile country. The surrounding tribes were not very pleasant neighbors, and not very well disposed toward the newcomers. This was quite to be expected since the newcomers had driven them out, slain many of them and were now occupying cities and farms to which they had no apparent title other than the old one of might. The surrounding tribes had strange customs, many of them quite pleasant In a way, but not very edifying. In fact, their customs were decidedly bad, as bad as whisky and beer have been found to be when used tnn frppiv Vow. the kinir of the vie torious tribe knew very well that his people could not thrive if they imported these quite delightful but very [ injurious customs, so he made a strict decree that his people must have nothing to do with such practices. The word of the king was law, and for a time was obeyed, and all went well. But soon the influence of their neighbors began 1.0 be seen, and gradually the. prohibited customs began to be practiced until they became quite common. The king was very angry and concluded that the people should be treated as we sometimes find it best to treat a very bad and self-willed boy. They received a good, sound thrashing, so severe that in many many cases death resulted. The punishment was inflicted by the very tribes who had been ousted from their possessions. The king accomplished this by extending to them for a time his generalship, which was always invincible. The severe lesson had a salutary effect for quite a while. The people became well behaved and were very prosperous. The little story is familiar to most of us, and is the more interesting because !* s true. Has it any relation to the action of Russia, France and England in their recent decisions about intemperance and desirability of prayer? Perhaps so. The ruler of Russia, France and England is one and the same. Long ago he showed them and all people that intemperance as well as other filthy habits would lead to their decadence and final ruin. But some people are hard-headed, and it may take even war, with its horrors to make them sensible and well behaved. If it takes even a war to bring them to their senses the war will come; for the king will save his people lr possible. Even the slaughter of millions may be necessary, but the lesson must be learned. Perhaps America may be wise enough to learn common sense from the experience of Europe and clean house in a reasonable way rather than persist in her various follies, so well known to us all, until the cleansing fire visits her also. The Basis for Permanent Peace. The nations of the world are slowly learning that the teachings of the Galilean are sound. In the truth of this statement rests whatever of hope we may entertain for a permanent and satisfactory peace when the present war is over. Before the terms of peace can be wisely discussed the true nature of war and the reason for war must be acknowledged. If you read Bernhardi or Prof. Crambe you may conclude with them that war is really a blessing to a people, developing their courage, self-sacrifice, etc. I am willing, indeed, to agree with them that war is a blessing but for a very different reason from the one they recognize. A loving father has a wilful, disobedient son. After all other measures of correction fail, the father, as a last resort, applies the rod. A good sound thrashing will do more for that boy than hours of counsel and tender love. The result proves the wisdom of the father and the lad grows into a worthy man. War is nothing more than the punishment of God upon wilful, disobedient people who never obey until they are compelled through suffering to turn from their selfishness and follies to the soul's last resort, God. The punishment may entail rivers of blood and oceans of tears, but the means are justified by the end, at least in this case. Furthermore, no other means have ever been found adequate. Illustrations without number can be given of the truth of this statement. The one best known is found in the history of Israel. But close analysis will show that the same treatment is true of other wars. The problems before the nations is to learn what God intends by this most terrible war in the world's history. And now we have arrived at the point where we began, viz., that the teachings of the Galilean are sound. God sent his Son to teach men how to live. "I am come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly." And what does he tell us about living? That the underlying principle governing all our relations with each other is embodied in that one immortal saying: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Many experiments have been made to test the wisdom of this command. Have they been successful and does the rule really apply to everyday affairs? How about humanitarianisrn so much talked of at present and which is one of the strong, leading tendencies of the present generation? Certainly humanitarianism is the direct application of the rule. Does humanitarianism work, is it sensible or visionary, is it a sound policy, does it tend to peace, or is its influence for discord, does it make the world any better? To ask the question is to answer it. Every other test of the command has resulted in like manner. In short, God knows what is best for man, and Christ made no mistake when he stated God's laws for man. Objection will be made that war is often the result of ambition, revenge, greed, etc. These indeed are secondary causes, but what more do they all amount to than failure to consider the rights of other nations as equal to our own rights? Again, objection will be made that if war is a punishment from God. then the punishment is a failure, for war has existed from the earliest times, and therefore God's chastisements are unavailing and mankind will continue to the end of time much as it is now. Partly true and partly false. One generation quickly forgets the experiences, the tragedies, the sentiments of an earlier generation. One of the puzzles of life is that we almost never will learn from others' experience. The teaching of history is clear about the luxury, the weakening of moral senti ment, the final decline of the splendid Roman empire, but many nations since then have gone or are going the same way. No, there is nothing in history that will controvert the assumption that war is God's way of bringing nations and races to a proper understanding of the fact that this is his world and if kings, princes, rulers and peoples will not live in it in accordance with his laws but insist upon infringing those laws, by the very nature of the case retribution must follow. The more severe the punishment the shorter it may be. The horror of the present war has never been equalled. But the sins of the nations have never been so great because in the light of God's revelation of his will and his law made so plain by the Christ that a man can read his meaning even while he runs and the meaning may be clear even to a half-wit in the bright light of this revelation, I say, brighter as the years roll by, what do we find to be the conditions prevailing throughout the nations? Drunkenness everywhere; vice, commercialized or otherwise, rampant in city, town, village, even in the home; lust of gold and lust of power consuming the hearts and filling the minds of multitudes; trifling with justice in the name of the law; supreme indifference to the agony and suffering of the poor; envy, jealousy, hatred, common as the air we breathe. This is but the beginning or ine nsr 01 crimes and follies of the present day; a condition which has long existed and which has caused agony so great that the cry has long been ascending to the very gates of heaven, "How long, O Lord, how long?" The answer to the cry is being seen in the present war. The query often arises?Is this the last great war? There is no reason for thinking so unless mankind has reached that stage of development, of evolution if you like, where common sense at last prevails over stupid perversity. If that wonderful day is dawning when at last the ruler of the universe is recognized as a God that punishes as well as a father that loves and saves, then there is hope of permanent peace and not until then. It may be suggested that according tc this theory America is spotless, since she has not yet at least been drawn into the vortex of this whirlwind of madness; and we know that such is far from being the truth. No, our fair land is smirched and soiled with the same vileness and criminal folly. But America is still a young nation; God is still patient with her; there is ample time for her to fill to the brim her cup of iniquity and to so weary the patience of the Almighty that at last she, too, will feel the lightning and the fury of his wrath. At times we can almost hear the warning and can almost see the flash of the distant storm. Listen: Not long ago very early one morning, before the darkness had left the sky, before the birds began to sing, I heard a rumble of distant thunder. In the stillness of the night it sounded ominous, startling, and suddenly I seemed to see a vision of the future, the ultimate America, caught at last in the consequence of her sin and groaning under the agony of punish ment divine. In the dawning of the morning Came the thunder of the Lord, The day of wrath was breaking In accordance with his word. Malachi 4:1. I do verily believe that unless there is some radical change in our treatment of these great issues that there is no escape from the wrath of an outraged God. Regarding the terms of peace for the present war. Is it possible to discuss the terms on an entirely new basis, in a manner different from any hitherto employed, a basis consonant with our original proposition, love to our neighbor? Let us see how such a policy would work out if applied to the nations of Europe. Let us suppose that some years ago Great Britain decided on a certain policy affecting her trade relationship with Germany, France and Russia. The policy became law and was executed because it was advantageous to Britain. Its effects on Germany, France and Russia would undoubtedly be injurious, but that fact would be of secondary importance, and in turn might even be considered an advantage as a retaliation for some previous injury to England resulting from a policy adopted by either Germany, France or Russia at some former time. Now, what do we find? When England adopts this policy beneficial to herself alone and injurious to her neighbors, exciting their just resentment, right then and there has been sown one of the seeds of a future war. A wiser and more statesmanlike method of procedure would be for Ener land to frankly present to Germany, France and Russia a brief of her new policy and inquire of them if such policy would be mutually satisfactory. If either Germany, France or Russia should reply that such a policy would, in their opinion, prove injurious, a council of nations involved could be called and after due deliberation a policy could be framed which would be of benefit to all. Now, what have we found? Such action on the part of England would compel the respect of Germany, France and Russia, would win their affection. In time of distress because of famine, pestilence or any other affliction, Germany, France and Russia would hurry to the assistance of England, seeing in her a big brother in distress. One of the seeds of perma nent peace would have been sown. There is no need to extend the argument. Its appeal will meet every reasonable mind. But will the minds of those whose high duty it is to arrange the terms of this peace, be rea? sonable? There is the danger and there is the uncertainty. As some one has already suggested there would no longer be need of army or navy except a police force on land and sea, adequate to quell any disturbance that might arise because of some member of the new family of nations forgetting the rule under which all were living. This police force could be easily sustained by a tax on all the nations, leveled in proportion to the wealth of each. What a trifle this would be compared to the crushing burdens under which Europe is staggering today! The benefits that would accrue to all from a peace settled on the terms of brotherly love are almost wltnout number and volumes might be written on the subject. The imagination loves to dwell on the conditions which will prevail among men when at last the Prince of Peace has come to dwell and to rule in our hearts, our homes, our cities and the nations of the world. Will such an ideal state always be an ideal? Can it never crystalize into reality? Assuredly there is hope. Read the signs of the times: Russia declared positively against intemperance; England is trying to be as progressive as Russia; France learning again to pray, if we may believe reports of the press. These are signs of deep import, they indicate that the^e nations are at least turning toward The Light Who shall say that they will not one day fairly face the rising sun and behold the glorious day arrive when the Son of Righteousness shall shine above a world undlmmed by the fogs, the mists, the dark clouds of selfishness, perversity and folly? You and I, dear reader, may never see this glorious day. The peace soon we hope to be adjusted may be patched up on the terms of man's wisdom; terms involving more or less of further punishment and disgrace to the conquered nation or nations, as the case may be; terms that will leave a sting as dangerous as the sing of a serpent's tooth, with its poison working its deadly way throughout the nation; terms, perchance, that may seem plausible on the surface but which conceal craftily the greed and avarice under lying; terms wnicn are aDsoiuieiy in essence devoid of that brotherly love which must be the basis of any permanent peace. A peace so arranged may last for a term of years, longer or shorter, is not of much consequence. When that period is ended we will have another feast of passion, blood, lust, revenge, devllishness, quite worthy of such asininity. But doubt not that the day will finally come when the long, long, weary lesson ended at last, the statesmen of the nations, men who fear God and who love his Son, will assemble in solemn conclave, remembering him who said, "Come, now, let us reason together." Guided at last by that light which never yet has misled the sons of men, those statesmen will arrange a peace that will last as long as the Rock of Ages on which it will be founded. A Prayer For the Nations. Almighty God, maker of heaven and earth, ruler of the universe, Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End of all, we humbly come before thine august presence, we bow in the dust at thy feet, we confess our great and many sins, we beseech for thy mercy and thy pardon. Teach us, Great God, the meaning of the tumult of the nations. Why are the lightnings of thy wrath poured out? Why doth thy fierce anger burn, why are the people consumed, why the agony, the bloodshed, the misery, the horrible whirlwind of passion, revenge, hatred, raging in the sons of men? Great God, speak clearly, we beseech thee, let thy people know the meaning of this thy day of vengeance. Surely thou hast been merciful in the past, surely thou has led thy children in a plain path by the hands of thy servants, surely the teaching of thy Holy Son Is plain. Through him thou hast taught us to love thee with our heart, our soul and our strength, because thou hast first loved us and hast sent him as the token of thy love. Through him thou hast taught us to love our brother as ourselves. Great God, how we have learned the lesson! With deep humility we confaaa our ain In nlnre nf love we hate. We have broken thy law; we have followed our own will, not thine; we have forgotten our brother's needs; we have let-sin triumph over us and reign within our souls; we have defiled thy temple; we have deserted thy holy place; we have altogether turned aside from thee; we have proved ourselves unworthy of thy love. And now, too late, in this the day of thine anger we remember, alas! that thou art the same unchangeable, unchanging God, thou art Jehovah of Hosts, as well as heavenly father, thou dost hate sin, thou dost punish terribly those who will not repent. Thou dost annihilate those who will not heed thy warnings. And now, Great God, we beseech thee that by the power of thy grace, by the love of thy Son, open the eyes of the people. Let them see thee In thine anger, let them hear the thunder of thy voice, let them feel the lightning of thy wrath until all men shall say, verily, there is a God in heaven; verily, his will shall be done on earth; verily, there is no hope for mankind except in obedience to thee. We beseech of thee, Groat God, not to stem the torrent of thine anger, but that quickly the world may learn the awful lesson of its folly and may turn to the living God; whom to know is light and joy and peace, now and evermore. Amen.?James W. Johnson. ODD INCIDENTS Bits of News Out of Ordinary Gath ered From Exchanges.

CONCERNING CITY POINT 17,000 People Discharged Each Day and Re-employed the Next. From waste fields to a thriving community of 50,000 inhabitants in a few weeks is the transformation which has taken place just across the Virginia state line from here, on a spot which will soon be listed on the map as City Point. Immense powder mills, the largest and most modern in the world, now nearing completion and belonging to : the duPont de Nemours Powder Co., are the magnet that has drawn 17,000 workmen to this new metropolis of the Old Dominion state. In this city of uncompleted homes and thousands of tents, which stretch in every direction, liquor has been tabooed. Although the workmen employed in the departments already completed and the mechanics and laborers working on the uncompleted buildings are for the most part drawn from all parts of both states, the absence of liquor has resulted in an orderly community, though the town is yet in its inception. One of the novel features of the big powder plant is the fact that while 17,000 men are employed there, the only regular roll maintained by the company is for the managers of the different departments. Each of the 17,000 employes is hired and discharged each day. Every night each employe is paid for the day and his employment, in so far as the company is concerned, is ended. If he shows up in the morning he is again hired and put to work. This method of handling a force of 17,000, while a novel one, has been found to give the best results at City Point. *-0r me mosi part me iuwii iuuao like a big1 camp. Section officers are provided by the powder company to enforce the law and maintain order. Offenders are punished promptly, and while some liquor has been confiscated in the town it is impossible for a man to drink it and obtain employment with the powder company the next day if he is found out. High explosives for the European governments are already being turned out at the new plant in tremendous quantities.
