OF It MIA NY ANO HEH NEIGHBORS Germany, by lier ruthless destruc tion of neutral shipping, seems in danger nf lobing every friond sho had muong tho neighbors naturally bound to her by ties of race, trade and.gen eral1 Intercourse. Holland ls just now a conspicuous example, being driven almost to the edgo of war by the sinking of her merchantmen. Even Sweden, thus far moro loyal to Ger many than any other neutral, lo showing signs of alienation. Since the war bogan Holland hus| had 28 ships sunk in the North Sea by torpedoes, mines or warships. Den mark has lost tho Hamo number. I Sweden has lost 50 ships and Norway | 07. It is said that these vessels, with out exception, were unarmed, and tho! destruction of nearly ovcry ono of j them was plainly contrary to Interna tional law. Tho losses from mine's uro held against Germany no less dian those due to torpedoes, for the sowing of thc opon sea With mines is in itself a flagrant breach ot law. These attacks on neutral chipping aro far harder o understand than the torpedoing of enemy merchantmen, from which nearly all bur difficulties with Germany have arisen. It ls In credible that Germany should, by KO ?rnrah a policy, alienate her noighborH und her best friends. H almost seems as If there may bo truth In the expla nation, bizarre as it sounds. that Germany, realising that sho cannot win tho war. Is trying to turn tho whole world against hor, so that sho can give up tho struggle with bettor grace. THE FAKE SUBSCRIPTION Doware of the fake subscription'.

White's sermon at the First Baptist dunc i Sunday night on "What They Think ol Va in Heaven", -was declared tliu moat in teresting o? any he has yet preached on tho subject of "Hoavcp." Despite threats of min' thc church was well | rilled. "Our American cemeteries lucan too much ot uiilllumined sorrow," Dr. White said. T.ulr dull white pr?1- j chicle are all too vague und dim. ! Death In America spells more ohll-j vion Han anywhere In thc worH. The indians we found on this conti nent had a livelier spiritual exp jr-1 lenee with respect to the dead It j would add a needed corrective of our predominant materialism if in th':" j country wc cherished a "Day of All | the Dead.' Men and women on that day would stand by tho graves o? their loved ones, and then' visit thc homes cf scattered members* of thc family to think ubu.'t those whom they have lost. In one of his stories, t'uul Uourfget tells of ? young giri returning with her father from thc cemetery.on t'ic 'Hay of All Ibo Dead.' and speaking t.> her father sorrowful ly of t';c man he (desired her to mar ry, who was cn unbeliever, she de mands hopelessly of him, it it is pos sible for her to have in,.'tim a true mate of life. . She says: 'But iif om live not with his* dead, how can fam ily life he possible?' Thia , 1 doubt not was in thc thought of tho Apostle when ho commanded: 'De ye not un equally yoked . together with unbe lievers.', "Surely lifo would become vastly more beautiful and death more en durable if Christians would accept f ir its full value 'tho guarantee: 'All things aro yours, whether l:fe or death.' Continuing his sermon, Dr. White said in part:. "Would you not like o think that they tyllh you form an > -i broken family circle, thong.i around your family altar, the llgnts burn low, and some dear ones sit out of sight? How inspiring lt would be to carry with you the blessed assurance that at midnight In the sllehcc of the sleep time, when you set your fancies free, und at noon-day in the bustle af man s work t?me'iunseen hands which once you loved {caress youV'and to them who bav? been the angles of your fireside God bas now given charge concerning you? Well, you can do it if you''believe the teaching of the New Testament. "To the early Christians, it was a living faith. In the passage we have before us, tho Apostle definitely sur veys and calls by name rnany of the noble dcid and asserts that they are constantly sur.vey.lr4g, the earthly scene. He vividly portrays-their aoly espionage under the figure of the Grecian games c> thc Stadium, in which they aro represented In Inter ester contemplation of the living runners of life'*; race. Who can tell how intensely the early Christians drew inspiration from their profound sense of heavenly ^comradeship? lt did not OCCUT to them that sue'ji, a realization of their dead could di minish their absorbed devotion to Jesus Christ, the author and thc fin isher of their failli, They were with Him, and with Him Ihey were looking this way.

I Sometimes we may dare tiling io hear the sound of their pickaxes on tho other side of thc slender wall thai separates us. The gi'eat French phil-' oBopher Borgeon, from the standpoint of philosophy, has come to stand by ? the side of the great physicist. He; declares that tho final censers of human knowledge are noto thc phy sical faculties-that our instincts and ! Intuitions are thc essential arbiter-*' of thought. The Question then with you and with me is whether we will accept our intuitions as trrust worthy. If the carrler-plgcon in Its pithless, but unerring flight dares to tru&t its] instinct; why may not we wit.: all j our intuitions reach out for a living | fellowship with the departed? <Ourj souls clamor for that sweet coin- | merco. To believe In God who made eight for the eye and sound for the oar and solid earth for the feet is to believe that He has not dnled love's yoaring. It is a hemitnge boldly lo be seized. The Brooklyn Infidel ;>t his brother's grave dared to avow lt: 'In thc light of de?lh hope sees a, star, and the listening love can heir the rut'tlo of wings' The poet Words worth met a little girl and asked her how many children there were in h".r family.

Dr. White concluded his sermon ns follows:1 "To think of our dead and of what t':ey think of us ls one of the sweetest privileges of the .Christian's faith, lt is hound up with all our own hope und expectation of the future life. Our Lord Jesus Chrlt'i has brought lire and immortality to light through the gospel that we may walk in that light, but it is not for us only to walk in. The doors of heaven are as open as the wound in the Saviour's side. The fellowship of the saints in not wholly denied the sinner who still li.es in this eartM under God's ban ner of redeeming grace. His loved ones call to him also. Nor should Jie be discouraged in contemplation ?f their heavenly puritfc. They too .havo passed 'along the road of flesh' and thorns. The song they sing is the song of those who have como . up through much tribulation*-'the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb.' Grace only could have brought them safely through their Incompleteness to their tcrnal perfecting. No man has kept tho law save one. 'Ohrls,t is tile end of the law of righteous ness.' Life is too short, sin is too strong, for human effort to achieve fie glory of the saint3. Today is Uio day in which for once every man may_ Jay hold upon the ladder of God. To-" day ls God's day" Tor the beginning of an endless life. Death will como soon, ah, too soon. God grant that lt may not come before we have tin gun to live forever, before the abyss between us and our 'beloved has been bridged by a living faith." .foy.Riding and Drinking.
