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?" This
leads us to sot
shat wc believe the text incul
. oi' nil, it ls evident thnt lt ls a
<.<? vim. teaching which ls hore
Involved. It is important to note tills
lu ii du y whet! R ls supposed to make
no diff?rence* us to what we believe..I
Coi \yhllo .lohn ls very Insistent on;
right eon due he in" none the less in
iVstont onTTght lie) I of. 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. Men speak of this ns "charity,"
but -John would doubtless describo lt
otherwise

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.

PROPOSES BARK FOR FUEL
Properly Prepared, According to One
Who Should Know, lt Could Be
Substituted for Coal.
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.
