GAME CENSUS MOVE,
Audubon Society's Plan to Ascer

terminated Attempt to Bo Made e
All Legislatures to Get Lawe Per
mitting a Count.
To measnre the contents of Uncle
Barn's game bag during the new yea!
Is the object of a concerted effort Id
which sportsmen from every section ol
the United States and the National As
sociation of Audubon Societies 'u N'en
York city are Joining bands. It Is pro
posed that detailed records of eacb
day's shoot bo secured from every true
sportsman and required by law ol
every one else In all states where tb
Audubon and sporting Interests can
obtain the necessary legislation. Un
less the annual Inroads upon the rap
Idly decreasing game of America ar
thus determined, so the leaders of the
new movement declared the other day,
shooting bb a healthful recreation will
soon be killed In almost every region
of the continent.
That the health, crops and woods, at
well as the sport, of many extensive
localities are today seriously menaced
by the threatened extinction of game
birds will be demonstrated through the
latest scientific Investigations by gov
ernment authorities at Washington
Waterfowl and shore birds will be
shown in their natural capacity of de-
stroylng the anopheles mosquito, at
well as many other recognized disturb
ers of deadly germs. Gulls and many
other varieties of sea and Inland watet
birds will be proved by ornithological
experts to be wholesale destroyers ol
grasshoppers and a multitude of the In
sects which cause an annual crop and
forest loss of nearly a billion dollars,
or more than the entire national debt,
according to the most recent calcula
tions of the government bureau of en
tomology. The case of Salt Lake City,
whose people have erected a monument
to the gulls that saved all their crop:
from destruction by an Insect plague,
will also be cited.
In every one of the forty-four state
legislatures which convene In the new
year special efforts will be made to ob
tain legal provision for this game
census, says the New York Post,
Where a hunters' license law Is al
ready In force the addition of a law
to enforce the recording of all game
birds and animals shot will be urged
It is proposed, in order to protect the
true sportsmen and to detect market
hunters, to punish failure to report the
season's shoot by a forfeiture of 11
cense and false returns by proceeding
as against perjury. Special blanks for
the purpose are being prepared, as an
attachment to all hunters' license cards
When the purpose and necessity of
this widespread checking up of the
nation's game bag are realized by the
people at large, the labor of com
piling the records of the individual
prowess of millions of hunters will be
begun. In this gigantic task the offl
cers of the National Association of
Audubon Societies have been prom
ised the hearty assistance of the di
rector of the national conservation
commission, of which their organlza
tlon has become a co-ordinate branch
by special invitation of the author
itles at Washington. This conserve
tlon movement they will forward as
one of their principal activities for the
new year, together with their regular
work of education, bird care on reser
vations and legislative campaigning
for general bird protection.
"The conservation of the dying races
of the game birds and animals of this
continent Is an object for which we
are finding every true sportsman ready
and eager to co-operate," said William
Dutcher, president of the National As
eoclation of Audubon Societies, nt its
headquarters in New York city the
other day. "The proposed census Is
the only sure way of determining the
extent of the existing commercial bird
butchery and the means to check It,
Though we shall, of course, have to
fight the organized and financially pow
erful market hunters at every step to
ward this end, I feel sure that the sup
port of the sportsmen will help us
greatly and that we may rely upon
the support of every patriotic Amcr
lean as well. The whole public debt
of this nation has Just been reported
as $097,349,751. With a known annual
loss of many millions more than this
due to the growing inroads of the In
sects which our game birds destroy.

subject much longer."
Germ Proof Warships.
Sterilization Is to be used on United
States ships of war on an elaborate
scale. This Is a measure decided on
by the naval medical officers at Wash
ington, with a view to promoting the
sanitary conditions in the service.
There will be placed on board every
ship a large tank, fitted with an ap
paratus which will enable the ster
ilizing of large articles of use, such as
mattresses, rugs, hangings, upholster
ed furniture, as well as clothing. The
system has already been adopted on
the Illinois, and the reports received
from her convinced the authorities that
the methods should be extended.

Ing Him and to the covenant made
store ail tmngs or wnicn tne propneis
tures ana now to use mem me Hu
miliation and suffering of Christ, the
center of all, and the kingdom the
circumference. See In I Pet I, 11;
lv, 33; v, 1, his repeated references to
tho sufferings of Christ and the glory
that shall follow. It is written in Isa.
xxxv, 6, among other samples of king
dom life, that "the lame shall leap as
an hart," and in this man of our les
son walking and leaping and praising
God we have a fulfillment of that
prophecy, for, as I understand It, the
kingdom was not Irrevocably post
poned till by the martyrdom of Ste
phen they rejected the Holy Spirit, as
they had tho Father and the Son.
As the apostles preached the good
news there were not thousands saved j
every aay or every ween, uui uhiij
some saved ones were added to the
church (11, 47). There Is quite a con
trast between helping a poor blind
beggar and winning thousands of souls,
and yet the former may as truly glo
rify God as the latter. Not many lives
are filled with startling events, but
every redeemed life may be filled with
bo called commonplaces to the glory of
God. I find much help and comfort In
meditating upon the life that was lived
In the humble home and the carpenter
shop of Nazareth, with which the Fa
ther testified that Ho was well pleased.
In the opening verses of our lesson
the temple Is very prominent, but nei
ther tabernacle nor temple was any
thing apart from Him who said, "Let
them make Me a sanctuary, that I
may dwell among them" (Ex. xxv, 8),
one greater than the temple, who
when He cleansed It said, "Make not
My Father's house an house of mer
chandise" (Matt, xli, 0; John 11, 10).
While, as a rule, there was at this time
no real worship of God in the temple,
needy, the poor and him that hath no
helper shall find a true helper In the
King who shall then reign In righteous
ness (Ps. lull; Isa. xxxll, 1, 17). If any
would Inquire why this man was born
lame, see John ix, 8, and lay to heart
verse 4 and let God work His works
In us. This poor man asked, "expect
ing to receive" (verse 5), which is
more than can bo said of many who
profess to pray to God. May Ps. lxU
5, become truly our own experience,
We see In the days in which we live
an unprecedented grasping for silver
and gold because of that which people
think It will do for them, because they
know not the Scriptures, that "neither
silver nor gold shall deliver them In
the day of the Lord's wrath," and that
no rich man can by any means redeem
a soul nor give to God a ransom (Zcph.
1, 18; Ps. xllx, 0, 7). In Jesus Christ,
the Creator of all things, who alone
can truly say, "The silver Is mine andl
the gold is mine"- (Hag. 11, 8), are du
rable riches and righteousness and
health for body and soul. To know
Him as Peter and John did is better
than all earth's riches or wisdom or
might (Jer. Ix, 23, 24). Peter washed,
sanctified, justified and Spirit filled Is
In such conscious fellowship with the
risen Christ that be can be such a
channel of health from Christ to this
lame man that all the people can see
It All believers should be in such
fellowship with Christ that something
of His life and power might be seen
In each of us, to the glory of God (Phil.
I, 20; II Cor. lv, 11).
Talking to Israelites, Peter magni
fied the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, whose son Jesus, the Holy One,
the Just the Prince of Life, had been
killed by them, but by God had been
raised from the dead, and Insists that
in His name alone had this lame man
been healed. Ho therefore urges them
to change their minds about Jesus and
recelvo Him as their Saviour and Mes
siah and thus obtain the forgiveness
of sins. The gospel that does not pro
claim the forgiveness of sins through
Jesus Christ Is not the gospel of God,
but some other which docs not pro
ceed from God, but from the devlL
Moses and all the prophets foretold a
Messiah who should suffer before He
should reign, and Peter urges them as
children of the prophets and of the
covenant not to miss the Inheritance
within their reach.

Perils of Partisanship.
To maintain allegiance to a political

Mr. Conrad's small relative engaged
actively in the recent campaign, which
