A Roman
Soldier
By REV. STEPHEN PAULSON
TKXT Now. when the lenuirUn a
liat was il'int) h tt!url I!t-1 Oml siiy'.ntf.
Certainly this wus u righteous man.
I.uko :'3, 47.
Jesus has boon brought to Calvary.
"The chosen plnce luis been reached
nnd the soldiers settle to their work.
The cross Is gotten ready. The up
right beam Is laid upon the ground
handy to the hole into which the end
will slip. Jesus Is lid upon the
beams nnd sharp pointed spikes are
driven through the palm of each hand,
and through the feet. Then strong
hands seize the upper end and shift
the cross Into place; and as ho Is lift
ed up on high the first words from
the sufferer are: "Father forgive
them, for they know not what they
do."
Standing by through the whole of
the crucifixion was the centurion,
whose duty It was to see that every
thing was properly done. It Is not to
bo assumed that he was any better
than his fellow-officers, but It may
be assumed that he did not relish his
day's work. When a soldier Is called
to war nnd wounds ha Is proud, for
that Is his calling; but when he Is
detailed to guard an execution he Is
filled with disgust, for this Is a humili
ation. With his company this centurion
had gone on duty In the morning at
Pilate's palace, and It was lato after
noon before they were released. He
had heard the trial of Jesus, and
helped to keep the howling rabble
back. He had .handed Jesus over to
his men for scourging and looked on
with a callousness born of a rnugh
life-. He had escorted Jesus and the
malefactors through the Btreets and
taken care that they were kept safo
for legal punishment. Ho had select
ed the site for the crosses and' seen
that they were firmly set. And as the
rabble passed by mocking Jesus, and
as his men gambled for his garments,
the centurion had sat on his horse
silent, watchful, Immovable.
When the criminals were proved to
be dead, and the bodies had been dis
posed of he gathered his company to
gether and marched them back to the
barracks. He went to his room and
removed hia heavy armor which had
been like a fiery prison In the hot sun.
It had been a long day for the cen
turion and a sorry day's work, and he
was glad In his soul that It was over.
Yet the centurion knew that this
day would never pass from his mem
ory. Perhaps he had assisted at many
crucifixions, but he had never had a
prisoner like Jesus. As he stood be
fore I'llate there was about him a
certain dignity of manhood and
bravery of soul, which neither bonds
nor Insults could obscure. Ordinary
men had been degraded by the mock
ings and scourging; this man left the
degradation with his enemies. Corrl
man men had cried out In their pain
as they were fastened to the wood;
this man had lifted up his voice In
prayer for those who were torturing
him. From the cross this man had
cared for his mother and his last
words had been words of triumph as
If a great task had been accomplished.
This spectacle of moral heroism had
Us effect upon the blunt and honest
soldier, and It needed not the dark
ness and the earthquake to call forth
his confession. "Certainly this was a
righteous man; truly this waj a son
of God."
The excellency of our Master comes
out after the same fashion to every
soul, but has various avenues of ac
cess. To some he comes by the ave
nue of Intellect. To some he comes
by the avenue of the heart and the
emotions. There are others to whom
the Lord has come as the revelation
and Incarnation of duty. They are
practical people and they receive the
Master with their conscience. For
years they have been doing their duty
by the best light they had. They have
also certain unrealized Ideals. One
day they find them fulfilled In the
Master, and henceforth he becomes
their model and their Lord.
What a multitude of men there are
In every land whose one Idea Is not to
save their souls or to earn a reward,
but to do faithfully the work which
God has laid to their hand. They
make provision for those whom they
love, or who are left to their charge;
they help where they can any worthy
cause and unfortunates In trouble.
They are honorable merchants, work
men, sailors or soldiers, and upon
oonsclentlous unremitting labor de
pends the welfare of society. Often
they have hateful and heavy work, In
the mines and mills and furnaces, or
under the blazing sun like the cet
turlon. Yet who commends them for
doing their duty? No one but Christ,
who says "Well done good and faith
ful servant.". This Is the class of men
among whom Christ worked and to
whom his gospel should come with the
greatest power, ana ono day they will
see that Jesus Is the Ideul and ex
ample of all men who labor.
Thankful Joy In God.
The Christian believer's practical ex
perience may be defined as the present-life
fruitage of Christian faith and
prnctice; eminently the resulting ef
fects of Christian duties and graces
of dally exercised faith and hope and
love, combined with praise and thank
fulness, meditation upon the word and
communion with the spirit of God, and
faithful service to man. And all these
particulars proceed from heart accept
ance of the essential facts of the one
gospel of grace.
Furthermore, since Christian experi
ence Is not an originating source or
force, since It Is an effect and not a.
cause, It should not be appealed to
as a Bource or a cause. Rut It should
be counted as a means and condition
tb.t brings to the loyal-Bouled belter
et an abiding peace of mind, rest of
heart and thankful Joy In God.
Temptation,
If you cannot remove temptation
from the boyB, then reverse the order
and take the boy away from tempta
tion. Rer. Roby Day, Methodist, Kan

DRINK QUESTION IN ENGLAND
President of Board cf Education Tells
of Good Work Done ty Tem
perance Syllabus.
The president of the hoard of educa
tion ( rJng'aiul I, Air. KuiK'hnan, speak
ing recently on the temperance sylla
bus iHMiid by tho board, t-aid:
Already nearly 250 local authori
ties out of 3.j0 had adopted the tylla
luis. There ought to be no part of
the courrtry whuru tho work based on
that syllabus was not being conduct
ed, either voluntarily or by the teach
ers. No class of the community In the
I'.ilted Kingdom were more alive to
the fWls. of Insobriety than the teach
ers In the schools. They saw It lace
to face evuy day, and they had the
worst possible examples of the harm
dune by Insobriety brought Into the
schools. They knew perfectly well
nothing was to be made of the com
ing generation unlets they werfl
brought up to hate all forms of stron
drink He was of opinion that no
teaching In their elementary h hools
could be done by outsiders as well ns
by tin) teachers themselves. Hut tbey
had to fll' up the gaps and provide
the driving power, and that was where
he Uai.1 of Hope ITnlon came In as
regarded the elementary schools.
Dealing with the prog-ess which
temperance had made during the last
20 years Mr. Runclman pointed out
thnt public houses had very largoly
ceased to be the meeting places of
people who hired employes. Friendly
societies and trade unions were also,
to a huge extent, forsaking the pub
lic house for meeting purposes.
As to tho decline per head in the
consumption of alcoholic liquors, the
figures published year by year showed
that it was not an accidental decline,
but the tendency downward was to
some extent the result of the work
that had been done amongst the
young 'JO or 40 years ago.
Tout hlng upon the old controversy
that men could not be made sober by
act of parliament, Mr. Runclman said
everybody kniw that If the govern
ment legislated too far ahead of pub
lic opinion they ran two great risks,
first of evasion, and secondly of re
bound. He quite agreed that they
could not make people sober by act
cf parflament, but they could help
Ihein to be sober. That was one of
tho things the government had been
trying to do In recent years.
The fall in the consumption of In
toxicating liquors had also been con
tributed to during the last twelve
months by the heavy taxation on
whisky. He did not regret that. He
quite agreed somebody must have suf
fered, but he did not think It had
been tho nation as a whole. They
could not have taxation without
throwing burdens on someone, and he
knew no trade which could better
tear the burden of taxation than that
which made profits out of strong
di ink.
In conclusion, Mr. Runclman said
that they might well ask the reason
why In a great country like ours,
which professes to be really demo
cratic, things which were good for the
nation should be Impeded by the enor
mous Influence of the public house.
Parliaments assembled and did what
they could In the way of social re
form, but if at the bark of It all elec
tions might be turned and public
opinion distorted by public house In
fluences, It was Impossible' for tho
democracy to reach either Its highest
efficiency or Its best Ideals.
A Swedish Expert on Drink.
Seved Ribbing, the famous profes
sor of medicine at the Swedish uni
versity, of Lund, makes these remark
able statements in concluding an ad
dress on one phase of the drink
curse:
"How largo a per cent of moral
downfalls are caiwed through drink I
am unable to say. but certainly It Is
not Infrequent that you hear from
many a questioned youth for an an
swer. 'I w'as somewhat under the In
line nee of liquor.' Through drunken
ness and In drunkenness one accus
toms himself to conditions which, un
der ordinary circumstances, would be
religiously shunned, 'n course of
time the sense of shame Is overcome,
and silenced, and the evil habits are
looked upon as an every day neces
sity. The cases when a young man
will In coldbloodedness and with a
clear head, and with decided Inten
tion, throw himself Into the arms of
prostitution are very seldom In com
parison with thoBe that happen under
the influence of liquor. A British
srmy physician has shown figurative
ly that sickness In a troop Is much
less among the total abstainers than
with ti e balance c the men."
Restrictive Measures In Germany.
The German military authorities
are endeavoring to stop the excessive
drinking of intoxicating liquors In the
army. The sale of brandy has been
prohibited In all the canteens In
Loralne and Hesse-Nassau. In the
thirty soldiers" homes and Blmllar in
Ftltutlons for sailors no alcoholic
drinks are served.
Unselfishness.
Unselfishness Is so Inseparably
linked with motherhood that the possi
bility of overstepping safe boundaries
and thus creating selllsh Instincts In
the boy or girl for whom you are mak
ing all the sacrifices seldom suggests
Itself think about the matter some
time.
' Let Drink Alone.
Let drink alono, young man. It has
never helped anybody, and It has
ruined and Is ruining millions In
mind and body and pocket. It turns
kind men Into cruel men, loving hu
bands into wlfe-beaters. fond fathers
Into slayers of their children.

W3RK on the Lotschberg tunnel, the third longest In Kurope, Is progressing so well that the opening of this bore
through the Alps has been set for May 1, 1913. At 3:50 o'clock one morning not long ago the two boring
parties met. When the first small hole had been made through tho barrier between the two. Chief Engineer
Moreau, in charge of the south party, was handed a bunch of Alpine flowers by Engineer Rothpletz, In charge
of the northern party. Then the chief engineer passed through the opwnlng and embraced his colleague. The
other workers followed. The tunnel, which takes Its name from tho Lotsehen Pass, under which it runs, passes
somewhat to the east of the Ilalmhorn, a 12.000 foot high peak, and Is over nine and one-fourth mile In length.
The Simplon Is three and one-fourtn miles longer; the St Gothard a quarter mllo longer, ,1'nllke other Alpine
tunnels, it Is curved. Its course having been diverted owing to a great disaster of July, 1908, when by an accident,
the Kander river was tapped and the water, rushing Into tho workings, killed 25 men. The result of the work
will be a number of modification In the International railway traffic of central Europe.
COYOTE IS
Bravsst Animal Alive. Declares
Formor U. S. Marshal. ,
That Is Information Given Out by
Jack Abernathy of Oklahoma, Bet
ter Qualified for Talk Than
Any Other Person.
Oklahoma City, Okla. The coyote
bas been greatly maligned. Instead of
being the woist coward in the animal
kingdom It Is the bravest thing In ex
istence. That is the Information
coming from Catch-'Eiu-Alive Jack
Abernathy, former United State
marshal, and better qualified for dis
cussing tho coyote, perhaps, than any
other living man.
Recently while discussing coyote
hunting with some friends, Abernathy
gave utterance to some statements
that are surprising.
"There Is a mistaken Impression re
garding the coyote," he said. "I have
caught a thousand of them and I
never made one yelp with pain They
would rather run than fight, but when
they are cornered tbey fight like the
very old Nick and die without a whim
per. "I would rather catch a wolf alive
than a coyote. The wolf Is larger, but
the coyote Is quicker.
"The coyote never hunts trouble. I
never had one attack me unless I had
started the fight. He sleeps the great
er part of the day and forages at
night. I have noticed that they are
braver at night than In the daytime.
"As to their Intelligence why, dang
It, they're the smartest things living.
They are more cunning than a fox.
They can ambush a dog with more
skill than a Mississippi nigger can in
vade a hen roost on a dark night.
Their favorite trick Is to 'double' on
dogs when being chased. I had a fine
greyhound killed once by this trick.
Three dogs were chasing a coyote.

Mrs. Goodhue's Invention does not
look different from the ordinary hat

MALIGNED
and the wolf, as they are commonly
called on the ranges, led the dogs Into
a trap. A hnlf dozen other coyotes
came out from a ravine and took after
the dogs. Suddenly the wolf that was
being pursued stopped and In a mo
ment there was the all-firedest fight
you ever saw. They killed one of tho
dogs before I could get close enough
to unlimber my Winchester and get
Into the game.
"A wolf knows when he Is In danger
and when he is not. Once I had a
cooji of chickens In camp. The coyotes
were prowling about, so I took the'
coop out on the prairie not far away
and surrounded It with wolf traps.
Early the next morning I took my re
volver and went out to sco If I had
caught anything. Not a trap had been
disturbed. While I stood there seven
of the rascals snooped up out of the
darkness and surrounded me. They
came up to within ten feet of me and
I began to expect a fight I drew
away from them, making toward camp,
thinking to unchain the dogs and have
an early morning chase. They fol
lowed, but wbon they caught smell of
the dogs, they took to their heels.
"There Is something queer about
the howling of coyotes. It reminds
me more of Indians dancing than any
thng else. I think the Indians learned
some of their antics from the coy
otes; and then again when you re
member how smart the duggoned
coyote Is, It may have been the other
way, he may have caught the trick
from watching the Indians.
"One night, several yeat-s ago, I saw
a coyote come loping along until he
reached a little knoll, where he
stopped. He sat up on his haunches
and emitted a ghastly long-drawn
yowl. Silence followed; then another
yowl. In ten minutes a dozen other
coyotes gathered around him. In
stead of sitting up on their haunches
like the first one they circled around
him In a radius of about ten feet lu
a kind of a 'hltch-and-a-trot' lope,
howling, first a short yelp &nd then
FLIES DISLIKE
Also, Little Pests Are Not Partial to
Hop Vines Idea Comes
From France.
Toneka. Kan. Dr. S. J. Crumblne,
secretary of the state board of health,
has learned of two methods by which
the common house fly can be kept
away from kitchens and barns. One
Is to paint the barn and kitchen blue,
almost any old shade, and the other
Is to grow hops around the doors.
The btue paint idea came from
France where two scientists, Marre
and Fe, In the course of some experi
ments with Dies, found thnt cow
stables which were painted blue In
sde were avoided by flies. It was
also observed that kitchens nnd dining-rooms
which were papered In blue
or pointed blue also seemed to keep
the files away as homes within a few
feet where the bluo paint or paper
was not used were Infested with the
pests.

this summer. At a meeting-of the

mel reported that he had made ar
rangements with Prof. D. W. Johnson
of Harvard university to make the
necessary research.
Some scientists have held that the
Atlantic seacoast was sinking at the
rate of two feet every hundred years,
and the theory has come to be general
ly accepted. Professor Johnson will
come to this state and prosecute the
study uuder a research fund estab

London. After a 12,000-mlle Jour

flock of pedigreed white Leghorn poul
try has arrived at the Garth Poultry
farm, Glan Conway, Dcublgshlre. The
fowls were obtained from A. H. Pud
man, whose white Leghurus secured
the world's record for egg laying In
the twelve months' competition which
terminated on March 31, 1910, held at
Gattoh, Queensland.
The six hens laid 1.531 eggs, valued
at 30, during the year, which works
out to an average of about 255 egg
per hen. The hens now at Glun Con
way are descendants of these birds.

some experiments himself regarding
the growing of hops around the kitch
en doors. A missionary from India
told Doctor Crumblne that hops were
used by the natives of India In the
place of screens. The hop vines were
allowed to grow all over the lltrte
huts, and the people were never
bothered with flies. Doctor Crumblne
and several of his assistants have set
out hop vines around the back doors.
The vines are growing all over the
buildings, and Doctor Crumblne Is
watching the vines this summer to
note whether or not the hops are
really effective against the flies.

This Important lesson deals with
a subject that Is of the greatest
moment In our modern Ilfo, a prob
lem that Is rapidly approaching solu
tion. After ages of warfare the world
seems Hearing the era of peace. In
the forming of The Hague Tribunal
the world has taken, in our lifetime,
by far the longest step ever taken
toward realizing the Christian ideal
of universal brotherhood. But, strange
to say, while this has been going on,
the world's expenditures In prepara
tion for war have been Increased be
yond anything the past has known or
imagined, so that the cost of a mili
tant peace Iuib become the world's
heaviest burden. We are to discuss,
therefore, ns a vital, urgent theme:
"The Terrible Evils of War, and the
Coming of the Itelgn of Peace."
Mlcah has been picturing the slna
of his nation, and tho terrible punish
meut that was to come as a result.
Now he turns In a (lash to a contrast
ing picture, the glorious, peaceful
reign of Messiah.
There Is no thought that this happy
time is to conclude numan existence,
but It Is to be the last stage of hu
man existence, and Is to bo unending.
Mlcah saw the beloved Mount Zlon,
the eastern. Templo 1.111 of Jerusalem.
It was called the tower of the flock,
the flock being the Hebrews, and the
Temple being compared to' the watch
tower Into which the shepherds went
for shelter In a storm or for protec
tion from robbers. It Is nlso called
tho strong hold. Zlon Is not a moun
tain but only a rmall hill, about 400
feet above the valley; yet tho prophet
saw It rising grandly and surely un
til It was lifted up far above th
loftiest summits of the highest moun
tains on earth.
Ho saw restored the first dominion,
the glory that was his nation's under
David and Solomon: yes, even more
than that, since he siw many nations
flow unto It to learn of tho ways of
Jehovah, the teachings of the true
religion. Flow Implies an Impetuous,
voluntary onrush, like the Inward
sweep of the CO-foot tides In the Bay
of Fundy. Nations then will bo "born
In a day." Converts will come by
Pentecost. Tho earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the Lord, as
the waters cover the sea. It is from
this triumphant Church of God that
universal peace will spring. It can
not como from any other source.
The central thought of this magnifi
cent passage Is the reign of Messiah,
that which all our churches exist to
establish. Tho most striking evidence
of 'that relun Is the Inauguration of
universal peace.
An effective federation of tho na
tions, such as might fitly be called
"The I'ulted States of tho World."
will take the place- of war. It will
have a world constitution, a wortd
legislature, a world Judiciary, and a
world executive, Just as individual
nations now have these Instruments
of government. The duel Is practical
ly abolished In all civilized countries,
nnd men nre forbidden to settle their
quarrels by force of arms. That In
ternational duel called war will soon
be seen to be as foolish and wicked.
We can Inaugurate the reign of
peace by helping the peace societies
do their noble work. By studying the
question In Sunday schools and pub
lic schools. By an earnest advocacy
and study of missions, which do more
than anything else to cultivate the
spirit of love for other peoples, and
understanding of them. By protest
ing against tho war spirit In con
gress and against the appropriation
of vast sums for unnecessary, war
ships. One battleship costs $10,000,
000 to build and $1,000,000 a year to
maintain, and Is obsolete In 15 years.
By refusing to entertain prejudices
against men of other races and na
tions, and In private conversations
doing what we can to destroy those
prejudices.
What are recent gains In the direc
tion of International pence nnd fed
eration? The establishment of the
International court of arbitration at
The Hague, which Is the beginning
of the world Judiciary. The enacting
by tho nations of more than eighty
treaties agreeing to submit disputes
to The Hague court for arbitration.
The peaceful- settlement of mere
than 600 International disputes, some
of them most dangerous, such as that
caused by the firing of the Russian
fleet upon British fishing vessels In
the North sea. The establishing of
the Central American high court of
nations. The forming of the Inter
national bureau of American repub
lics. The placing of a beautiful
statue of Christ upon the summit of
the Ande? between Chile and Argen
tina, In token of their agreement not
to fight each other. The forming of
the interparliamentary union, a large
body made tip of members of the Tarl
ous national parliaments and con
gresses, working steadily for peace.
The beginning of a world executlre
by the formation of many Internation
al bureaus, such as the universal
postal union, the International bu
reau of agriculture, and the Interna
tional committee of weights and
measures. The growing opposition to
war on the part of financial Institu
tions and business men and on the
part of organized labor. When the
laboring men of the world declare
that they will no longer serve In
armies and the business men declare
that they will no longer pay for war,
this terrlblo curse will surely bo at an
end.
Keep cheerful. Hunting trouble ruing
more nerves than trouble when It ar-
