British Boys ' 8111(1 scooped the
world with the
full text of the treaty at the con
ference of Berlin, at the end of the
Franco-Prussian war. Although he
did this for the London Times, Eng
lish journalists — distinctly that,
rather than newspaper men —
seemed to think it wasn’t quite
cricket and they went on wearing
spats, carrying canes, and dodging
leg-work. I remember citing to an
English friend the De Blowitz book,
published posthumously in 1903, in
which he told how he got that beat
on the treaty—an exciting newspa
per yarn if there ever was one.
“Bit of a rotter, don’t you think?**
said the Englishman.
After the war, the English cor
respondents started shaking a
leg, hat, with all this Chauvin
ism loose in the world, we may
hoast that it was the American
lads who set the pace. One
press association and a few of
onr newspapers sent over to the
big war some news beagles who
began retrieving stories right
under the nose of the morning
eoat scribes. They've been get
ting better all the time, and one
of the bell-ringers is Frank
Smothers of the Chicago Daily
News, the tenth correspondent
to be bounced ont of Italy for
faithful reporting in the last
year.
Mr. Smothers was a fast-stepping
and fast-thinking reporter in Chi
cago for nine years before he went
to the Orient, as correspondent for
the Chicago Daily News and the
Boston Transcript. He was close
in when the Japanese made their
first grab for China and pegged
home some of the best stories from
that beat. In Italy, he made a sim«
ilar record.
A keen analyst, as well as
news-getter, he is one of a num
ber of American foreign corre
spondents wh6 have told the sto
ry of world catastrophe faster
and better than any others at
any place or time. He grew up
in Roseville, I1L, and finished at
the University of Wisconsin, aft
er two years at Northwestern.
He is 37 years old.

Vet of Delicate dertaking. His
Negotiations fame rests upon
his achieve
ments as an international lawyer,
of the firm of Covington, Burling &
Rublee, of Washington. He was a
strong supporter and ally of the late
Robert La Follette.
Whenever they have had oil
trouble anywhere in the Western
hemisphere, they have sent for
Mr. Rublee. He has straight
ened out snarls over oil rights
in Colombia, Mexico and other
countries. He was a friend and
associate of the late Dwight W.
Morrow and helped him settle
a number of oil and banking
arguments in Mexico.
He is a native of Madison, Wis.,
and an alumnus of the Harvard law
school. He began the practice of
law at Chicago.

ciation, in be
half of teachers
flunked by the
New York board of examiners, gives
an exhibition by which the public
is to judge whether the board
bopped them unjustly. Among the
exhibitors is Max Weber, dis
tinguished artist, represented in the
Metropolitan museum, who was
among those flunked by the board.
With his picture goes a note to the
board in which Mr. Weber tells what
he thinks of it and cites his suc
cess as “proof of their incompe.

.- Mr. Weber, a native of Rus
sia, here at the age of 10, was *
modernist, so far out of bounds
that the academicians would
turn in a riot call whenever any
body mentioned his name. He
has been marked up more by
the critics probably than any
other man in America.
The turn in Mr. Weber’s fortunes
came in 1925, when a discerning
New York Sun critic, among oth
ers, piped him up as a thoroughly
competent artist. His pictures sell.
He has a nice home at Great Neck,
Long Island.

Mishap Season Gets Early Start
The season for accidents like this is well under way in many cities. Mishaps, frequently amusing to the
more fortunate, happen often on icy streets, and they’re by no means confined to cities. In New York the worst
eerly fall snowstorm in years brought grief to many a pedestrian, and impeded traffic in the busiest sections.
Accidents on slippery streets each year result in an alarming number of deaths, and exact a costly toll in dam
aged automobiles.

Lesson for December 18
CHRIST’S NEW COMMANDMENT
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 5:43-48; 22:34-
40; John 13:34, 35; 15:12-14.
GOLDEN TEXT—A new commandment I
give unto you. That ye love one another; as
I have loved you, that ye also love one
another.—John 13:34.
Do Not Need Bifocals
Man; apes, monkeys, marmosets 1
and lemurs are the only creatures
that can focus their eyes and dis
tinctly see both near and distant
nbiects. says Collier's Weekly.

The heart of all moral law is
found in the Ten Commandments,
but the very heart of the command
ments is the “new commandment’’
of Christ, that we love God with our
whole being and love our neighbors
as ourselves. For if we have that
perfect devotion to God we shall
keep His commandments (John 15:
9, 10), and- shall show our love to
our neighbors by positive acts of
interest and devotion, as well as by
refraining from falsehood, violence
and impurity.
The message of our lesson today
is one which will strike home to the
hearts of honest and earnest men
and women. When we stand in the
revealing light of God’s Holy Word
we cry out for forgiveness for the
manner in which we have failed
truly to represent our Lord in the
world, and in prayer for grace to
live as we should. Let no unbeliev
er who reads these words use them
as a basis for criticism of his Chris
tian neighbor; but let him consider
his own need of the regenerating
and enabling grace of God.
Our outline for today we borrow
with thanks from Points for Em
phasis, by Dr. Hight C. Moore. It
so aptly presents the truth that it
merits our study.
I. Standard of the New Command
ment (Matt. 5:43-48).
“Love your enemies’’ (v. 44), that
is the standard which Christ has
established for His followers. While
the love one has for the brethren
is without doubt a more intimate
relationship than the love one may
have for an enemy, we must not
seek to minimize the real love we
should have even for those who
curse and revile us. It is to move
us so deeply that we not only treat
them kindly, but also pray for them.
Humanly speaking such a thing is
impossible, but in Christ it is not
only possible, it has actually been
demonstrated in life. It is so easy
for Christians to speak with derision
that borders on hatred about “the
devil’s gang,” to lose all love for the
crowd that hangs around the tavern
and the gambling house. Let us
hate their sin, but may God help us
to show that we really love them.
H. Scope of the New Command
ment (Matt. 22:34-40).
It is as high as God, as deep as
the lowest sinner, and as wide as
the circle of all. mankind.
A man must be right with God if
he is truly and fully to love his fel
low men. To be right with Him
does not mean a half-hearted one-
day-a-week interest in religious
matters, and that only up to the
point where they do not interfere
with our own interests and desires.
To love God means to give Him the
devotion of our entire being.
Loving one’s neighbors does not
just mean the man next door. Even
that is none too easy at times; and
some of us realize that we have
failed even there. But the man in
Sweden, China, Germany, anywhere
on this earth, is our neighbor and
needs our love. There are no “for
eigners” in God’s thinking about
love; no poor or rich, no ignorant,
no members of “another social or
der”—they are all our neighbors.
IH. Spirit of the New Command
ment (John 13:34, 35).
“As I have loved you”—that is the
spirit that is to move us to love our
neighbor. God is love, and it was
always His will that men should
love one another. But the new ele
ment in this commandment of
Christ is that He, the final and per
fect revelation of God’s love, had
come to give His life in loving serv
ice and sacrificial atonement. Paul
caught the spirit of this command
ment when he said, “The love of
Christ constraineth us” (II Cor. 5:
14). There is the real motive, the
true spirit of Christian life and serv
ice.
IV. Sacrifice in the New Com
mandment (John 15:12-14).
Love draws no limiting line be
yond which it will not go. Love
says: “I count not my life dear if
in giving it I may bring deliverance
to my friends.”
Some folk talk piously of their
love for God, but are not willing to
go even across the street to speak
to a soul about Him. If we love
Him we would willingly go to the
ends of the earth for Him, or con
tentedly serve Him in what seems
to be a forgotten corner. We shall
not question His guidance nor blush
to own His name, even though the
testimony may mean our death
This we shall do for Christ’s sake,
and for the sake of a suffering hu
manity.
The writer thinks of John and
Betty Stam whom he was privileged
to teach in the classrooms of the
Moody Bible Institute, and who not
long afterward poured out their gal
lant young lives in martyrdom for
Christ in China. “Greater love hath
no man than this that a man lay
down his life for his friends.”
