The word char- ity does not express the apostlen thought. Charity means at present a dispoeition to overloolt 'Mune and put the best conetruction on the act e of others, and it also means benevolence, Love is the English equivalent of the Greek word, which stands for lovo in the higher senses. Paul le spealtieg of divieely imparted love in the hu- man heart. Even if one had the pow- ers ot language just mentioned and was deetitute of love, is spiritual nee tura would be empty and clanging. As eounding brase-Corinthian brass, a metal formed by the mixture ot sayer and gold, was proverbially famed for its ringing sound when struck.-Whe- don. This expression and the one which foliowe stand for hollow and meaningless sound as c,ontrasted to real music. Tinkling cymbal - "Clanging cymbal." -R. V. Two con- cave pieces of metal form the epithet. which make a clanging noise when struck together. "The highest elo- quene,e, even about the gospel, is but an empty sound without the love of God in the heart." Thus love is far superior to all mere eloquence, 2.

All knowledge -In- cluding the whole realm of human learning. All faith -Love is. again compared with faith and its superior excellence affirmed, Faith is excel- lent, but faith without love is value- less, Remoye mountains -Paul evi- dently refers to what Jesus said as re- corded in Meet 17: 20; 21: 21. I am these endowments pu* together leave me a moral cipher." Love is superior to the gift of proph- ecy with an understanding of all mys- teries and a mastery of all knowledge added. 8. Bestow all my goods -Char- ity In its present sens i here com- pared with love and love le found to be far superior. It is good to be lib- eral, but one may be liberal without the love of God in the heart. Give my body to be burned -It is right that we shined have tho martyr spirit, but one may endure oven death itself for a principle and be destitute of divine love shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Ghost. In this Terse sacrifice and love are compared, and recrifice without love ayails nothing. In these three Tema, then, love is declared to be superior to four excellent gifts, namely, eloquence, prophecy, faith and sacrifice. II. The nature of love ('rs. 4-7). 4. cauffereth long, and le kind -Love en- dures and does not lose any of its ex- eellencies. Love is patient.

Love has no Ells- poeition to be envious orjealous or covetous. raunteth not itself -Lover is not boastful. is not puffed up -Is free from pride. Some who are fully saved and filled with love have large ability, large possessions or large influence, but they do not boast of these things. They are humble. 5. doth not behave itself unseemly -Love has regard for the rights and feelings of others. It is courteous and has a purpose to do good to others. seeketh not her own - Love does not think solely or primar- ily of itself. It is unselfish. The greedy and grasping are strangers to love. is not easily provoked -"Is not provoked"-R.V. The word easily is not in the original. The heart that is cleansed from sin and filled with love is not stirred to anger, is not pro- voked, Professor Drummond, in speak.. ing of ill temper, says: "No form of vice is more base; not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself, does more to unchristianize society than ill -temper .... There is really ho place In heaven for a disposition like this." thinketh no evil -Love does not surmise evil, or put an uncharitable construction upon the actions of oth- ers. It does not keep in memory the evil acts that have been done to us by othei-s. 6. rejoiceth not in iniquity -Love does not approm of wrong -doing even in the objects of its warm affection. rejoiceth with the truth (R. V.) -Love is ever in sympathy with righteous- ness and is glad at its triumph over evil. 7. beareth all things-Iu pati- ence love endures reproaches and In - Emits unless the welfare of others' is imperiled thereby. belleveth all things -It is always ready to think the beet; to put the most favorable construction on anything; is glad to make all the allowance for human weakness which can be done without betraying the truth of God. -Coke. hopeth all things -When there is no plate left for be- lieving good of a person, thee love come in With its home Whete it could not work by its faith Med begitut Im- mediately to make allowances and ex- cuses, as far as it good eonscience can permit; and farther, anticipates the repentance or the transgreSeor, and his restoration to the good opinion of aociety, and his place in the Chureh of God from which he had falleit- Clarke. endureth all thiege-Sustaine to the end, with unshaken confidenee in the goodness of God, all the perse- cuttOfte end afflictions Of this 11 -N. -- Lies. 111.

I. Relating to service.- This chapter stands alcne in the writings of Paul, bath in its subject and style, It is the climax of he Gpistle. This single chap- ter containe the Whole of true religion in its teaching. It touches the heart of God, the fountain of all virtue and blessedness. Much disputing in the Corinthian church concerning gifts, natural and spiritual, made Paul es- pecially sensible of the supreme necee- sity of charity. He possessed super- natural gifts and fervent charity, and was therefore competent to compare the two, It was as though wearied with discussion against the sins of the church, Paul had at last found the re- medy by which they could be over- come. The Corinthians were partisans, pulling down one and putting up an- other. They were censorious and de- preciative toward tho,ee with whom they were disinclined to affiliate. They were peculiarly proud of the gift of tongues, Their love was not so con- spicuous. Their gifts were accompan- ied with glaring inconeistencies. Paul set the supreme excellence of love in contrast with the worthlessness of other gifts unaccompanied by its pre- sence. The evil tendencies of the church met their true correction in this gift without which Christian so- elety could not exist. That holy love derived its very essence from Christ and must possess all who turned to Hint for redemption. Love was shown to be far more serviceable to the church and to the world than the gift of tongues or prophecy or knowledge or faith or benevolence or heroiem. Paul could hardly have used strongee language to show the superiority of love over that of zeal or fidelity or devotion, He held that love was the special and permanent characteristic of the Christian religion. II, Relating to cheracter. Paul re- garded faith, hope and charity as graces belonging to character and not merely to conduct. He esteemed character of greater importance than ability. He regarded faith and hope as expressions of love. In his vivid analysis of the divine principle of love Pau' looked upon it as embodied in character, being in its essence the love of God in the soul. Charity cul- tivates that strain of nobleness in character which prefers to think well of others and to give credit, than to question and disbelieve. It compre- hends all virtue, honor, goodness, pur- ity, sincerity, magnanimity and what- ever else can adorn human character. "Love is the brightest star in the Christian firmament and the fairest flower in the garden of God." Love is a grace perfectly consonant with largest mental endowments, loftiest aims, noblest endeavors and unwear- ied perseveranee in well -doing. Paul's description of the behavior of love was drawn in contrast to the un- seemly and unbrotherly conduct of the Corinthians. His words condem- ned the foolish display of self-import- ance. Every word he tells with double force because aimed at a real enemy. Paul declared that nothing- ness of life without the ruling power of love. III. Relating to maturity. Pau' was not the man to disparage faith which holds 60 high a place in his writings, nor hone which was so eroraineht feature in his character. The higher he held these virtues, loftier wee the position to which he raised the grace of love, when he pronounced it the greatest and most enduring of all vir- tues. The great teacher saw most sublime truths in j. glowing light. It is pleesant to note that Paul, whose mind was eager for knoWledge, and whose life was 60 largely devoted to communicating it, should tonternplate It as it now is and sucb sis it is to be hereafter. Amid his array of great gifts, Prophetic insight, miraculous wotking, philanthropY and martyr - don -i he placed love as the greatest poSeesslon. He asserted that Mee as a sustaining, resisting, aggreeslye Deem will never fail. He enepha- 'dud the truth that love will never fail as an element of metal power, es a principle of soelat unity or a source of spiritual happiness. He assured thoee that prized giftthat must pase with changed ecenditione that loves ettistence, aetivity and Manifestations Would be perpetuated; that it Would survive all that is Meet prized as In- tellettually preelous mid desirable, Pant regarded divine knowledge as the truest riches Of the intellect and dienne love aa the deareet Wealth of the heart, T.

Shown to Neutrals—Cattle Decrease 'Terribly. The Hague, Netherlands, Cabel,— (via I• ndon, 12.40 p.m.) -Diplomatic representatives in Berlin of the neu- tral powers have been taken by the German ofticials on a trip to the (tome. try and shown the harvest situation. A paragraph in the German news- papers dealing with this tour of in- spection says; "lt is assumed they gained the con- viction that the plan of our enemies to starve us out will fail again this year. Some representatives were even surprised at the remarkably favor- able outlook." Heidelberg was the first district in the empire to introduce mass feed- ing in the rural communes, The num- ber of tommunes to adopt this plan now totals eleven, and, according to the Koelnische Zeitung, is increasing weekly. An article from Berlin appearing In the Hamburger Nachricht attempts to answer the popular complaint in Germany as to why butter is so scarce. The newspaper claims that the last cattle census, compared with that of 1914, showed a decrease of 2,000,000 head, of which 800,000 were milch cows. Owing to a deficiency ot fod- der during the winter the health of the remaining animals isuffered se- verely. It will be -years, the newspaper says, before the grazing fields are again normal, and it is feared that a high percentage of cows will be permanent. ly weakened. GIRLS TORN FROM THEIR FAMILIES France Protests to Neutrals Over Hun Outrage. Citizens of Captured Towns Treated as Slaves. Paris Gable. -The Frnech Govern- ment to -day formally appealed to the sentiments of justice and humanity of the neutral countries and public opin- ion in all nations in behalf of the lithabitants of the invaded cities of northern France, who, the appeal sane, have been taken from their homes and transported to other regions, where they are compelled to work in the fields. Through Spain, acting as intermedi- ary, France has already made protest to Germany againet its action regard- ing these cinilians, but the protest is as unheeded, Germany, according to the appeal, attempts to justity The measures taken by her because of the attitude of Great Britain in rendering more and more difficult the feeding of her population. This action, Jew- el et, the appeal adde, 15 inadmissible, as the blockade of the Entente Allies is a regular act of war, and there le nothing in The league conventicle which authorizes such action on the part of Germany. "At the end of April, 1916," says the appeal, "by order of the German military authorities'about 25,000 French, girls from 16 to 20, and young women, and men to the age of e5, bad been taken from their homes at Roubaix, Turcoing and Lille. separated from their families, and transported to the Departments of Aisne and Ar- dennes and compelled to work, prin- cipally at fanning. On Holy Saturday, at 3 a.m., the execution of these meas- ures began at Lille, Purciong and Roubaix." Whereeer the measures Were to be applied, the appeal continues, a notice e as posted on the doors of houses, Streets Were barred by soldiers, and emri, witnesses declare, by machine nuns. Soldiere entered houses and an Officer designated the persons who were to leave. The inhabitants, atter a respite of from twenty minden to ene bout*, were concentrated in schools or churelies until the time for their departure.

' --- Petrograd, July 28. -The Russians have occupied the important railroad junction of rody, 58 miles northeast of Lemberg, in Galicia, They have also by another drive 60 miles away broken through the entire first line of the Teutonic allies west of Lutsk and driven the Austro -German forces Petrograd correspondents attribute the suceees over the Austro -Ger- mans almost entirely to the over- whelming superiority of the Russian artillery and Russia's apparently end- less suppliee of ammunition. AUSTRIA ADMITS DEFEAT. London Cable.—Brody, the largest Galician city nortionet ot Lentoerg, and one of the chief objectives of the Russian drive which aims at it new invasion of the crown land and the capture of its capital, fell into the hands of tho Russians this morning. The fall of the city was announced by the Petrograd War Office to -night in a brief eentence supplementary to Um regular official night report, whicli told of the pursuit of the Austro -Hun- garians "In the direction of Brody." trom the line of the River Slonevka and Boldurovka, Southern Volhynia„ according to the official communica- tion issued to -night by the War Office, Heaey casualties were inflicted on the Austro -Germans; over 9,000 men were made prisoner and a large number of guns were captured. Brody is a great railway junction, and it had been expected the Aus- trians would retain it at all cost. The swiftness of the new Russian stroke was unexpected. The occupation of the town may have the effect of caus- ing the entire Austrian lino south- ward toward Tarnopol and Buczacz, which has been held tenaciously in face of Russian attacks, to fall back. The fall of Brody Is a serious threat to Lemberg, and the rapid and suc- cessful advance of Gen. Sakharoff's forces menace the whole Austro -Ger- man line of communication from the north to theesouth. For the present '<eve' yields in importance to Lem- berg. The position of this portion of the Russian front seems to be that General Kaledines. having driven Gen. von Linsingenhe left wing t behind the Stolehod. River, has emended his ad- vance towards !Coven and is bolding up the great Teutonie force e there while Gen. Sekharoff is pressing on toward Lemberg, which is defended by the forces of Gen, Boehm-Trmolll. Evidently with a view of preparing the public for the loss of this import- ant city, the Vienna War Office, in its night etatement, after admitting that the Russians last night penetrated the Irsznioff-Brody road, added: "We are still fighting on the southern edge of Brody." Brody lies three and three-quarter miles from the Galician frontier. The city had been in Austrian hands since Sept. 1, 1915, when it was captured in Field Marshal von Mackeneon's great drive, which carried his troops more than thirty miles westward beyond Brody. nimultaneously with the success itt Brody, the Russian army operating further north, to the west of the Vellninia fortress of Lutsk, broke through the whole first line of the Teutons, driving the defenders into a precipitated flight aid taking 5,060 prisoners, including e0 officers, among who are two generals and two regi- mental commanders, according to the Petrograd statement. The defence of the Leseinoff- 13rody road became practically un- tenable a week ago when the Rus- sians, atter forcing the Styr -Deo, confluence, advanced enmasse, beyond tee town of Beresteczle where the Austro -Hungarians were forced to yield to the Muscovite preesure and fell back upon tho road to Brody. A comparatively small Russian army has been standing virtually at the gates of Brody after the fall of Radi- sivloff, five miles to the northwest of the Galician city, more than it month ago, and has been marking time hold- ing its line against all Austrian counter-attacks. • The moment the Russians had ad- vanced as far as Beresteczk, they were only two and one-half nailes from the Galician frontier and 18 miles from Brody, this northeastern army could co•operate with the forces pouring Into the crown land north. of Brody, and beat the defenders of the Leznioff• Brody road, who were menaced by an enveloping movement, from which there was but one escape, =melte withdrawal to the eouthwest. The fate of Brody's garrision Is not known. It is believed that the Aus- trians had sufficient time to with- draw the bulk of the city's defenders. The Russian statement issued before the capture was known says explo- sions were heard at Brody, fires were observed and goods trains were seen moving. The Russians are now in a position* to advance against Lemberg from two direeelons, and along two railway, the Dubno-Brody-Lemberg sector, from the northeast, and the Sto- janew-Lemberg rail, from the north.

"How is it that ye do not understand? How long shall I bear with you?" Jesus came to reveal the Father, to begin a new kingdom, and the most effectual proof He had to offer was to go away in bodily form and come again without observation; here is the mystery, and dignity, and separate- ness of the kingdom. The paeswords, signs and calls are ever locked up within the precincts of the covenant and the revealing is not left to the weakness of the human will, but by it law which cannot be abrogated. "No one knoweth save he tlaat receiveth." -it Is expedient that I go away, be- cause my kingdom is not of this world." Garments, breastplates, armor, swords, music and parade, belong to earthly kings; but Jesus wore no dis- tinguishing dress, civic or ecclesiasti- cal. Ho wae not a Invite; had no right to perform priestly eervice. He was known as a carpenter, wore the dress of a common man. He had not where to lay His head, held no deed of property, employed no lawyer to make His will. "I go away, I come again." "How long was He away? Only three days!

Britis)a "New Army" Made Grand Showing. (Ey Frederick Palmer.) With the British Army in the Field, Cable.—The British went after Del- ville Wood again to -day, and took it. The Germans had been quiet be- cause the British made no infantry attack, but all the wnile the machine guns had been rattling and the anti'. lery had kept up a thunderous drum beat in what before this offensive would have been referred to as it vio- lent artillery duel. So commonplace has the continual bombardment be- come that ono officer, whose post of duty is with the transport just out of the range of the shelle, complains that he is awakened when there is a lull at night. This morning the British put on Delville Wood the heaviest concentra- tion of shell fire in a given area ever directed against field fortifications. Even the gunners were amazed when theycomputedits volume per minute In pieparing the way for the infantry. Counting the front a thousand yarns. there must have been three shells a minute on every yard. The purpoee was to leave nothing standing -nothing living. Not a single Gerintua machine gun but was to be put out of business by the tor- nado of blasts. Deltille Wood has left Trones ;Wood with a tame reputation, The infantry of both sides there have no dugouts. Their. only protection is shallow trenches, such as are dug in open field opera- tions. A shell which tears a hole among the roots of a tree, killing a man, makes some protection for hls neighbor who surveys the scene, Snipers and machine guns watch for any head that shows itself. Pa- trols which go out in the night en- gage in hand-to-hand encounters. The flash of a burning shell may reveal one patrol to another and give It the advantage. The British had nearly all the Delville Wood after the ad- vance of July 14, but the Germans got fi:11 enfilade machine -gun and shell fire on them, and took possession of the middle of the wood and of the British dead, who had fought to tbe last man. But the British kept the southern end of the wood and the ad- joining village of Longueval against repeated attacks, raking the Germans with machine guns and shellfire. When the infantry advanced this morning they did not expect to re- cover all the wood, but before the charge teed finished they had taken all except about an acre of the north- ern end. The troops engaged around Longae- val and Delville Wood, where the fighting exceeds in ferocity for the possession of the valuable ground anything yet seen in the oftensive, have been both hardened regulars and new army battalions. The new army men, fresh from the English drill grounds, when put into this "hell's crucible," have shown the same racial stubbornness as the re- gulars. e "No shell fire could be worse than the way the teachers had pictured it to us," said one of the new army mon. "We were expecting it all -machine guns, bombs, snipers, big shells and little shells -and so we were not sur- prised." The comraander of one famous division told the men if they were good boys and fought well when they attacked July 14 they would not be put permanently on the reserve, but would have another chance in the ot• fensive. They had a week ot this un- interrupted orgy, and when they catne out to rest their commander inform- ed them they had made good and could go back. The dust-eaked veterans cheered this announcement. "How anybody comes out of Del- ville alive is a miracle," eald an offi- cer who had been in the thick of the struggle, "But I know men who were bowled over five times by Ethel's, knocked down by branches of feting trees, whose scalps -were cut with nia- oliinc-gun bullets, and yet came out." This rnoreing the British found there a hundred Germans, Mostly with sortie kind of a wound, who- had survived the fearful bombardment, which had left them stunned and hug- ging the bottom of shell -holes or the remains of their trenches.
