GIRLS AS SUBWAY GUARDS HOW THE KAISER APPEARS TODAY r 3 t r ail v. V - t AX ( I ft 1 The girl suhwa.v guard Is here ut Inst. Everyone knew It was coming, nn one when. She made her first appear ance on a Ilrooklyn Rapid Transit sub way train clad In thp regulation blue and brass and all the other trappings. Her name Is Miss Catherine Moloney, and she officiated on one of the new est stylo subway enrs, whereon the doors, three of them, ore opened and closed wlih the. pressing of a button. Kaiser Wllhelm, the man who set the world aflame with war, as he looks today. He Is thinner than he was before the war and the lines In his face show thnt the archenemy of civilization has suffered some of the pangs that he has caused humanity. Ills figure has lost some of Its military carriage, and In this photograph, unlike those of the past, he Is making no effort to conceal the short left arm. On the kaiser's right Is his son, I'd nee Eitel Friedrlch, who Is holding some of the Iron crosses the kaiser bestowed on this occasion to his troops. On the kaiser's left Is General von Kinkier. The photograph was made ou the occasion of the kaiser's recent visit to Tarnopol, TKXT-BH tonlilted O y lieavtrU At llili.-Jer. 2:12. At first thought It might seem lm possible for the world to contain any thing which would caue surprise or wonder In the heavens. Yet there are some thing which dally causo them amazement. The Lovs of Cod for Man. The text might well be used when we think of this. Consider m o n ' siniillness and In significance In the universe. He. la compared to a worm of the dust, to the grass of (he Held and even whole nations are small er than the dust of the balance, ills life Is n span, a vapor which disap pears, n dream of the night or a tale that Is told. Consider man's sinfulness. He has gone asiray from righteous ness, there Is none that doelh good and he rebels at God's restraint. His sin Is not merely o disease thnt should awaken sympathy for the afflicted. It Is that but It Is more. Sin Is crlnio and the sinner Is as n criminal before the bar of eternal Justice, convicted of wanton crime and condemned by his own conscience. And sin Is rebel lion making the sinner to be not mere ly diseased and Involved as a criminal, but a rebel and enemy of God and lilf government. Well may the heavens be astonished as they behold the In tense longing love of God for such a man, so smalt and Insignificant yet so sinful and rebellious. The Gift of God for Man. This text might well be used again when we consider this. It would b enough that God should search fot limn as he did for Adam. Enough thai he should be so Interested In the sin ner's welfare ns to give such signs nf he has In the flood, etc. A surprlslni thing that he Khould trouble hlmsell to choose men who would tench th race the ways of truth and upright ness such ns Moses, Abraham and others. A wonder It Is thnt he should send his seers and prophets to cal! men back from the way of misery an denth. Itut what cause for ainaxc ment thnt he should so love the worlc ns to give his only begotten son, tc suffer and die that men might be snve( from sin and Its consequences. Wei . r.wy It be said, "Re astonished, 0 y heavens, at this." The Patience of God With Man. XVq must repeat this text when wi think of his patience. It would he n surprising thing had God cut man oC completely ns a ciimberer of tit ground. Rut through the centuries hi continues to Invite the sinner to tin bounteous supper of salvation. He hai continued to plend with man to bi reconciled to himself. In spite of re buffs and Insults he has Implored men to lenve the broad path that sure!) lends to eternal death and take th path that goes on to eternal life and glory. In spite of man's turning dent enrs to him he continues to warn him of his awful danger, trying In every wny to guard him from destruction un til It can be Mild thnt If the render of this ever finds himself In perdition ha will find himself so not because of God, but In spite of all thnt God could do to keep him out. And God's pn tlence with man never wearies or wavers. As It was In the days of Nnnh, so It Is now. Gnd strives with mnn by his spirit to the very limit of life. If nny should rend this whose life has been a continuous rejection of God's goodness and offer of salvation, let that one know that In spite of every thing thnt has gone, God's patience Is not run out or wearied. "Re aston ished. O ye heavens, at this." The Rejection of God by Man. This Is the crowning cause for won der. Is not God good? Then why re ject lilmT Is he not true? Then why reject him? Is he not Just, or tender, or gentle, or trustworthy? Whnt fault has the unsaved reader to And In of with God of the Bible? There Is no fault In him. Ills friends and enemies bear witness to this. He Is the living and true God. All others are dead and therefore useless Gods. Some wnnt re llglon, some want powtr, some wnut culture and so on,, but true religion, omnipotent power, real culture, etc., are found only In the true, and the true God is found only In Christ Jesus the Lord. But though so freely offered man continues to reject him. "Re as tonished, O ye heavens, at this." A man who fulls overboard and then resists the one who would rescue him and refuses the safety offered goes to bis death a suicide. So the mnn who resists the Lord and refuses his proffered snlvatlon goes to his eternal doom a soul suicide. "Re astonished, O ye heavens, nt this." Do Not Worry. Do not worry. Life neer hurries; death alone Is In haste. Tht cyclone, the earthquake, the eruption, ure sel dom In their destructive work; gtutnh Is slow. The mountain stream hur ries; It cannot do otherwise; but In nil Its rush and roar thero Is a prophecy of oceanic calm, the large, ever-animated calm that belongs to all sound life. The tempest that sweeps across the waters moves the surface; thi great depth Is unngltated. So tho soul knows nothing of the tumult of haste, so often apparent on the surface ol life. For the soul U of God, the undls turbed, the unhurrjing, the unhang ing. Let but the soul grow consclout of itself, and repose follows ns surelj us light follows the rising of the sun. Ida Ahlborn Weeks. Keep Eyes on God. ' It does not do to be running ahoul without thinking, or thinking without looking Into the face of Godi Bhrtioj Tborold.
