THURSDAY, APRIL 5TH, 1928. Improved Uniform International DISASTER RELATIVELY MILD. POPULATION GROWING. GIGANTIC “HOOK-UP.” INDIFFERENCE TO CRIME. The bursting of a dam, part of Los Angeles water supply in San Francisquito Canyon, cost hun dreds of lives; .Reasons are given for the dam giving away, but no adequate excuse "Water, seeping into the earth at each end of the dam, weakened the hold of the great concrete wall.” It should be someone’s business to learn why the dam was built that' way—and what danger there is at other dams. Why fragments of broken concrete ■crumblecTTn the fingers. * * ' Compared with familiar disasters, by flood, California’s accident is fortunately mild. Thyre was the big flood that drowned all but Noah’s family.- The rainbow guar antees against a repetition of that wholesale calamity, but small floods have wrought havoc. Five hundred years ago in\Hoh land 100,000 were drowned, and at Kaifong, China, nearly three hun- ~dred years ago, 300,(KX) tost their lives; 200,000 were drowned at Bengal, in India, fifty years ago. Many times in history eruptions of the sea. river floods and similar disasters have taken 100,000 lives and more at a time. This country can congratulate itself upon the fact that the Mississippi flood of last year, destroying- hundreds of millions in property, cost only two hundred lives.^ That was due to admirable work done by the army and navy, and to prompt scientific , direction by Herbert Hoover, chosen by President Coolidge in the emergenev. V * * * The Census Bureau says .Unit*• States population on July 1 next will be 120,013,000. At the end of tjiis ^century, if births, deaths, immigration and health run along as at present, the population will be 200,000,000. If the larger per cent of that number know how to think it will be quite a nation. _ In. the last eight years popula tion has increased 14,302,380. The annual arrival pf babies exceed by one million the number of deaths. Lesson (By RBV. P. a PITZWATER. D.D.. D«an Moody BlbU iDRtltute of CHIcrro.)

Three hundred and fifty-thousand individuals make their living, partly or entirely, by crime in our happy country, he says.

Note the angel’s message: 1. ‘.‘Be not afraid” (v. 0). 2. “Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified” (v. 0). This threefold designation with marvelouss^yearness shows (1) His luimanity““desus. (2) Lowly residence—Nazareth. (3) Ig nominious death-—crucified. 3. ‘Tie is risen; He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him” (v. G). These words throw light Ills birth, humility -amL shame- ful death. He who was born in low ly circumstances and suffered the shameful death on the cross, is now the conqueror of death. His resur- feefton gives meaniirg to His death. “If Christ he not risen your faith is vain, ye are yet in your sins” (I Cor. -h^Tio.your way, tell His* disciples and Peter” (v. 7). As soon as it was known that Christ was risen from the dead they were to tell it to the disciples. ' The disciples all needed this blessed lunVs, hut Peter espe cially, since He had utterly denied Him. 5. “Me goeth before you iu^jd.ali- lee, there shall ye see Him” (v. 7). Christ had told the disciples that He would rise ffom the dead and meet tlmm in (TatTlee, hut tholr Unbelief kept them from tills blessed truth. III. The Appearances of the Risen Christ (w. fi-14). .These appearances had as their ob ject the restoration of the disciples from their awful failure and, discour agement and convincing them with- a peradventure of a doubt of brist’s resurrection. Since His res ection was to be the central rheme «*f {rpostolh* preaching, it was rreces- sary that they have a certainty of knowledge as to this matter (Acts 1:3). Without the resurrection of Christ Hi\ death would he meaning less. Gut Of the ten or more appear ances. Mark Selects three. 1. To Mary\Magda 1 ene (vv. 9-11). Man’s heart responded to the Savior who had graciously delivered her from demons. Her ^sufferings were no doubt terrible. She\, was first at »the tomb; her devotion\was amply re warded by being firsts to meet the risen Lord. Though hV faith was weak she went at once and told the story to the disciples. 2. To two disciples on thd way to Emmaus (vv. 12, 13). Luke gives full particulars concerning this appear ance (Luke 24:13:25). Jesus \had walked, talked and eaten with them. 3. The eleven disciples (v. 14). Christ appeared to them while sitting at meat and reproved them for their unbelief. The fact that' they stead fastly resisted the testimony^ that Christ had risen, and yet afterward were willing to ristf their lives In the proclamation of this truth proves ih genuineness of their faith.

After the disciples were convinced of the truth of His resurrection, Christ sent them forth to “preach the gospel to every creature.’’ What a glorious and supreme tftsk is this. What a blessed issue to those who be lieve and how awful to them that be lieve not. "He that helieveth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that helieveth not shall be damned”, (v. 16). V. The Activity of the Enthroned Christ (vv. 19, 20). After giving the disciples commission He ascended and from the unseen sphere directed their activities. Wherever they went He -confirmed their word. He does the same for His disciples today. —f * Our Thoughts x We -should manage our thoughts as shepherds do their flowers in making a garland; first, select the choicest, and then dispose them In the most proper places, that evferv one may re flect a part of Its color and brightness on the next.—-Samuel Taylor Cole ridge. r their on high The Presence of God Man is more blessed nr less b eased Ip tbe same measure as he is aware of the presence of God.—John Tauler.
