The alan would also require persons, irms and corporations making cam- , aaign contributions or expenditures to list therti in their income tax returns. -Senator Borah, who has recently severely criticised the alleged ise of huge funds by Presidential candidates in the primary campaign, laid that he heartily favors Senator | Thomas' proposal. ??? ( The Admission, duty-free, of news- ( jrint paper valued at eight cents or ess a pound, is provided for by a bill eported favorably by the Senate Filance Committee. The measure has >een urged by many publishers. Un ler the present law the duty-free valle is five cents or less. ? The universal training plan has ap>arently been abandoned. Advocates of universal training in the Senate have conceded their defeat ind have offered as a substitute a >lan for volunteer training for all hose between the ages of 18 and 28 vho desire it. Universal training i lad previously. been rejected by the I iouse of Representatives. ' The peace plan pending in the louse of Representatives, by which i t is proposed to declare >by joint ' esolution an end of the war' with 1 iermany, appears, from a test vote ' vhich occurred in connection with J he adoption of a rule limiting de>ate on the measure, to be strongly avored;- the vote for the rule being ! 14 to 155. Among those voting for he rule were seven Democrats, one >f whom, Representative Huddleton, >f Alabama, created a decided sensaion by a speech favoring the resoluion, in which he said in part: "The reaty of Versailles is dead. So far s the United States is concerned it tight as well not have been written, 'he President is in irreconcilable leadlock with the Senate, and th'ere s no hope that either will yield." Suffrage has failed in Delaware and here is not much skepticism as to he possibility of ratifying the Fedral suffrage amendment in time to ermit the women of the country to articipate in the fall elections. The atitication of but one more State is leeded to make the amendment a alid part of the United States Contitution, but that one vote seems arder to get than were all of the ther thirty-five. Another League-Adoption plan has een suggested. Senator Hitchcock, he acting Democratic leader, has preicted that the Covenant of the <eague of Nations will be separated rom the Peace Treaty and offered i the Senate as an amendment to he peace resolution. It thus appears hat the Senate may soon be afforded n opportunity to vote upon the two ortions of the treaty separately. _______ m :ONVICTS BECOME HUMAN MAGNETS l report from Albany, New York, is > the effect that thirty-five convicts f Clinton prison were turned into lagnets as a result of a peculiar oisoning which for a time __baflled aedical scientists.

The trouble was traced to he deadly botulinus germ which is aid to have come from salmon servd to the men about two weeks ago.

JUNIOR TOPIC?How Gideon Won a Victory. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?Victory by God's Help. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -One With God a Majority. So grievous was Israel's affliction that they hid In dens, caves and strongholds (Judges 0: 2). In their distress they cried unto the Lord, and again he heard them and sent deliverance. The angel of the Lord appenred to Gideon while at the post of duty. God always calls men who are doing something. Gideon's hesitancy when called was not due to unbelief, hut to modesty and cautiousness. When-once he was convinced of duty he was courageous and enthusiastic. I. Th? * * 1 - -rr?"? "." J V*. i/. Gideon and his array arose early on that eventful day and encamped by the spring of llarod. Over against them was the host of the Mldlanltes In battle array. His army was Insignificant In comparison with the Mldlanltes. . II. The 8lfting of Gideon's Army (vv. 2-8). At Gideon's call 82,000 men responded. ready for the struggle. This seemed a small array to go against the Mldlanlte army, 135,000 strong, but Qod said this was too many lest they be led to boasting and self-confldence. Their real danger was not In their small army, hut In their pride. All that were faint-hearted were allowed to go back, leaving only 10,000. There svere 22,000 cowards In that group of nen, nnd, worst of all, they were not I8bamed to confess it. Still this was too many. When God was through with lis sifting process only 300 remained. The 10,000 were brave men, but not of proper quality and fitness. Those who apped the water showed alertness ind watchfulness. This test revealed :he quality and fitness of the men vhom God would use to win victory. III. God Gives Encouragement to 3ldeon (vv. 9-15.) God bade Gideon go down to the llldlanite camp, where he would hear lomethlng which would cheer his leart and strengthen hie hands. When le came near he heard a man tell a lream, which was that of a barley cake :unibllng into the carapTtad smiting It. 3e also heard the Interpretation given :o that dream, which made Gideon to >e that cake. This greatly cheered pis heart and strengthened him for his work, and caused his heart to burnt forth in praise to God. A barley cake s a very Insignificant thing, a very cheap affair In Itself, but with the land of God upon It, It would be sufficient to spread consternation upon the llldlanltes nnd bring destruction upon .heir armies. IV. Qod Gives Victory to Gideon [w. 16-23). His army 1*is very Insignificant nnd its weapons most worthless. U!s at:ack was unique. The whole matter vas of faith (Ileb. 11:32). The ground if his faith was God's word and the :oken which he had given him. God loes not ask us to go forward without food ground upon which to rest our 'alth. Gideon with his 300 men formed nto three companies, each man being irovlded with a trumpet and wvth a amp concealed within a pitcher. Thus irmed, they surrounded the camps of he Mldlanltes. They were all instructed to keep their eyes upon their lender ind Imitate him. We, too, are to keep iur eyes on our leader, Christ, nnd to ever do as he does. At the proper monent they blew their trumpets and iroke their pitchers, giving opportunty for their llehts to shine our This iwful crash of breaking pitchers, folowlug the sound of trumpets, accompanied by tiie shout, "The sword of :he Lord and of Gideon," threw the llldinnltes Into a panic, causing them :o fight among themselves. One hunIred and twenty thousand were thus daln, lenvlng but Ifi.OOO of that mighty irmy (Judges 8:10). In making the application to onrlelves in this age, we can think of the sounding of the trumpets as repres.mtng prayer, or calling to God; the orches, as the light of the gospel; the >ltehers, our human nature; and the ivholo, as this treasure In earthen vesjels. Only as the pitchers were broken to allow the light to shine forth, and as ve sound loud and long the trumpet of grayer can we expect victory. Doing the Will of God. The end of life Is to do the will of 3od, whatever that may be; If we muld have no ambition past the will >i lioci, our lives wihihi lie succession, tor the maximum achievement of nli.v nan's life, after It Is all over, Is to lave done the will of God.?Professor Orummond.

Rockefeller, Jr., during tincourse of three addresses delivered at Detroit in behalf of the lnterchurch World Movement, made some interesting statements from which we quote the following: "It is charged that capitalists are deliberately using the churches to keep the working man contented * * by promising him a place in heaven. It do not believe that. II the Christian church was so weak th:.t it could be used for such purposes it would not command the confidence that it does." "New York newspapers, some of them, recently charged that my father and I spent from $15,000,000 t<> $80,000,000 to get the I'rohibitinh Amendment passed, because W'tii prohibition We could tret .mere work out of our employes and so make more money. Recently I had Inures compiled and founil that in tin last twenty years both of us had contributed just $320,00b." "Sometimes, also, if my father gives a sum to a public bent faction and the price of gasoline goes up, newspapers connect the two in'i dents. I have never had ur.yihi'V" to do with the management of Standard Oil, and my father h.s n t had for twenty years. Besides, Standard oil is only one of many mi mipa.iics ami the government in-ius on the keenest competition hetwe n them. Why should all the other oil companies raise their rates at the same time as Standard Oil if my father's gift were the only reason for that company advancing prices. 1 should say ii was supply and demand and in creased cost of labor and material* that caused the raise in prices. Standard Oil decreased the cost of gaso line until it was so cheap that it wain demand for constantly increasing uses, and when the demand increased naturally the price went up."
