In these verses Paul exhorts to mutual love, unity and concord Love is the law of Christ's kingdom, the lesson of his school, the livery of his family. We do not walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are call- ed, if we be not faithful friends to all Christians and sworn enemies to all sin. 4 : 11-116. Here we see the variety of gifts Christ has bestowed among Chris- tians; and his design is giving gifts unto men. The gifts of Christ were intended for the good of his church, and in order to advance his kingdom and interest among men." Mutual love among Christians is . a great friend to spiritual growth; it is in love that the body edifies itself; whereas, "A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand." — •(Condensed from Henry's Bible). In these verses we have two par- ables setting forth the growth of the kingdom of God. In the first it is the gradual but insensible growth that is referred to. As Jesus so of- ten did in His teachings He does here. Nature provides the object lesson. Like seed cast into the ground, the good seed of the gospel sown in the world, and sown in the 'heart, doth by degrees produce wonderful effects, but without noise. The seed cast in- to the ground will come up and the sower cannot tell how it does it; it is one of the mysteries of nature. So we do not know how the spirit by the word makes a change in the heart ; "great is the mystery of godliness!' The seed in the ground grows grad- ually, "first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." When it is sprung up, it will go for- ward; nature will have its course and so will grace. Christ's interest, both in the world and in the heart, is, and will be a growing interest. It comes to perfection at last, when those that receive. the gospel aright, have finish- ed their course, the harvest comes, when they shall be gathered as wheat into God's barn, as a shock of cern in his season. In the second parable, that of the mustard seed, Jesus depicts the work of grace as small in its beginnings, but becoming great at last. The Christian church when it began com- prised one hundred and twenty per- sons and was held in a room. Never were there such great things under- taken by such a small handful, as that of the discipling of the nations by the ministry of the apostles. When the mustard seed grows up it becomes greater than all herbs. The gospel -kingdom in the world shall Iikewise increase and spread to the remotest nations of the earth. The church has done and is doing a great work. The work of grace in the soul has mighty products, now while it is in its growth, but what will it be when it is perfected in Heaven? The difference between a grain of mustard seed and a great tree, is nothing to that between a young convert on earth and a glorified saint in heaven. Eph. 1 : 22-23.

Condi- tions make it necessary for the mother to keep them confined to the house, whose rooms may be over- heated or badly ventilated. The little ones catch cold and their whole sys- tems become racked. To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in the home and an occasional dose given the baby to keep him fit, or if a cold suddenly grips him to restore him to health again and keep him in good condition till the brighter, warmer days come along again. Baby's Own Tablets are just what the mother needs for her little ones. They are a mild but thorough laxa- tive which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach; break up colds and simple fevers; banish constipa: tion and indigestion and make the cutting of teeth easy. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 1)O GANGSTERS REAI) THE POPULAR MAGAZINES? Apropos of the murder of seven men in Chicago, we quote the follow- ing statement from the police com- missioner: "We are doing everything in our power. It must be borne in mind that prohibition has changed the status of the criminal. We have armed our criminals with the power of money. The very enormity of the rum -running business necessitates on their part organization. Even if we catch the rum -runner we cannot hold him. There are too many loopholes in the law. There are too many courts through which to drag a case. There is too much money with which to bribe public officials. We are do- ing our best under the circumstanc- es." This is not the utterance of a Chicago police commissioner, follow- ing the wholesale slaughter that has shocked millions of people, however aptly it might apply. It is a state- ment in •a story called "Hooch," which recently ran through the Saturday Evening Post, the author being Chas. Francis Coe. The crisis of that story is provided by just such a massacre as that which took place in Chicago the other day and it has been sug- gested that so closely does the fiction parallel the fact that the Chicago gangsters may have been provided with the idea by the author. The story tells of a dishonest police captain, a dishonest alderman, who owned a distillery • and the various gangs whose illicit supply of liquor came from the distillery and was sold in the city through the connivance of bribed officials. A fight between rival gangs resulted in occasional murders. Then the leader of the foreign gang whose object was to get hold of the distillery and remove the police cap- tain who had hitherto been in con- trol of the bootleg supply for the dis- trict, arranges with his gunmen to mv'rder his rivals. The alderman, after he has been terrorized into giv- ing a deed for his property, is slaugh- tered by the neat device of having a dynamite cap attached to his motor car. When he threw on the starter the cap exploded and he was blown to pieces; The police captain, Paddy Flenger, and his aides, Bauer and Mitchell and Dutch Sleek, a former aide, who had betrayed him through fear and allied himself with the Zuroto gang, but who, nevertheless, was distrusted by Zuroto, was lured to the garage of Slenk, which was used for liquor stor- age, and here Poppolipis, Capolicki, Gastroni and others of the Zuroto gang lay in hiding; Slenk was aware that the assassinations were contem- plated and had entered heartily into the plot since he feared Flenger and wished him out of the way. The idea that Zuroto was to blend him in the same red burial never entered his head. ,Sleek was the decoy. Two trucks 1oa4d y h liquor drove out of the distillery and headed for the garage. The drivers were -not in any gang but were paid $50 each for the trip and dismissed, while their armed guards, Bauer and Mitchell, were de- tained by Sleek under time pratex , of examining a bottle of the booze. Flenger was summoned by telephone to go to the garage and meet a couple of federal officers who were said, to have seized the cargo and were wait- ing to be bought off.

It was over within a matter of seconds, After the deafening roar of the guns, silence came suddenly. A whisper here, the scraping of a foot there, hoarse and labored breathing. Then the side door of the building opened again. The calm night air swept in over four prone figures. In the streets the roar of a motor sounded' and faulty brakes squeaked sharply. Shadowy figures passed through the door, then along the alley beside the garage finally to leap into a big motor car. Some- where in the distance a police whistle shrilled. Thus Mr. Coe. In the actual murder the victims, who included• one mare whose fondness for low company had brought him within the fatal circle, were lined up facing the wall, their arms in the air. Mr. Coe explains a fact which must have puzzled many people, namely the use of machine guns with the accompanying hideous uproar, when a shot from a revolver equipped with a silencer would 'be just as effective and far safer. The reason is that the gangsters desire not only to kill their victims but to strike terror into the hearts of others inthe enemy gang. The boldness of the attacks, often made in daylight, is explained by the same psychology. They want everybody to know that they do not fear the law and are ready to take their revenge in a crowded street, The same idea lies back of the ornate funeral orgies of dead gun men. Thousands of dollars worth of flc.wers are showered upon the coffin and packed in funeral cars to impress all beholders with the power and the wealth of those who mourn the dead.

Meat antra- ordinary ntraordi;;uary me!vsi'sspaperrrleli' ease to be des veloperd on} this continent, acid per- haps ehaps the most picturesque and donnas atic. His career extended 'back to the days arf Tota Hood, with whom he as- sociated in London, and projected it- self to a not so distant revolution in Mexico. Ist Msxieo, it is supposed, he met his death, though. no authen- tic details on this point seem to have been secured, so there may be one, other writer's name to be added to those above, that of the man who is able to tell the story of his death, All that is known is that Bierce vanish- ed into Mexico to take part in a revo- lution and never returned. Mr. Me - Williams writes for the purpose of trying to disentangle the myth from the reality in Bieree. In his opinion by far the most distinguished and im- portant work: that' Bierce did was in newspaper work in San Francisco, where for years he ran a column of satirical comment upon more people through a stinging paragraph than such writers as Arthur Brisbane could influence in a dov.bleleaded page of resounding platitudes. He dissents from the view v that Bierce was a great short -story writer and says that if he were, then it was a sheer accident, since most of his stories were written to fill in his col- umn when he was not in the humor for greater concentration. Bierce was born in Ohio, and the family stock was more than respectable.' He served in the Civil War, and saw some dreadful things there which he was later to infuse with his sardonic) humor. One story was of a cavalry officer who was to be shot for deser- tion. He was blindfolded and made to sit astride his coffin before the firing squad. Just as the charge was about to be fired the doomed man said something to the commanding officer which nobody else heard. Bierce lat- er questioned him about the last mes- sage, and was told that the unfor- tunate deserter had asked that a saddle be placed on the coffin. Bierce was never a rich man, but he never- theless, refused an offer of the U. S. Government to give hien $50,000 of accumulated back pay. At the time of the Spanish-American war when his employer, Hearst, was whooping it up in all his papers, Bierce, on his San Francisco organ, was quietly and bitterly reviling the whole business. As a young man he went to England and it was there that he came into contact with Torn Hood and the Eng- lish men of letters, who have since written about him. It was in Eng- land that the uncouth Western hum- orist was turned into a man of the world 'and a polished wit. His column in The Argonaut which he called "Prattle," and which later appeared in The Wasp and The Ex- aminer, was read everywhere, and so influential was it that on one occas- ion a judge granted a criminal a change of venue on the ground that Bierce's writing had so inflamed the community that sit would be impos- sible to get an ifpartial jury. As a correspondent at Washington he pit- ted himself against the redoubtable Collis P. Huntington and defeated the strongest efforts of the financier to put through the Southe.-na Pacific re- funding bill. His interview with Huntington on the steps of the Capi- tol has become historic. On another occasion, when in Washington, he was invited by President Roosevelt to dine with him. He declined on the ground that he had an engagement with an old friend and that he never neglect- ed old) friends to make new ones. This delighted Roosevelt, who replied:— "Come to -night and let ue be old friends." Some commentators have suggest- ed that the diabolic satire of Bierce was inspired by some great secret sorrow. Mr. McWilliams does not be- lieve this because while Bierce un- doubtedly had private tragedies, his way of Iooking upon life had been fixed long before they assailed him. His wife, with whom he had lived long and happily, became estranged and left him. His eldest son, Day, was jilted by a girl, and the pub- licity so maddened the youth that he waylaid his successful rival, and they shot it out. Both died. The bodies were brought from Chicago, where the tragedy occurred, to Sacramento, and from there the Bierce remains went to St. Helena, and those of the other youth to Stockton. The Adkins girl, the cause of the shooting, stood on the platform at Sacramento and re- marked to reporters: "Now ain't that funny—one goes one way, the others goes another?" His other son, Leigh, a brilliant fellow, made an un- happy rmarriage, and went to New York. There one of his duties was to distribute a truckload of Christmas gifts among the poor. But Leigh be- came intoxicated and gave away the articles en route to the East Side. Pneumonia followed this drinking bout and he died estranged from his father. Perhaps it will be no mark of ec- centricity to add another name to the company that has written about the late Ambrose Bierce. It includes at present Haldane MacFall, Arthur Machen, Conan Doyle, Elbert Hub- bard, Arnold Bennett, Arthur Bris- bane, William E.

It is a trial which, according to the judge, every- body is thoroughly enjoying, and con- cerns the authenticity of a painting, the story of which is as follows, to wit: It appears that Captain Harry Hahn, who saw service in France, saw also and fell in love with a charming Frence lady named Andres Lardoux. They were married and returned to live in Kansa,aCity. Among the tress- uresy of Mrs. Hahn was a painting called "La Bella Ferroniere,'A which she saki had mean painted by Leone ardro da Vines, ¢autthor of the Non:' Lisa and many outer ineom'parablo works of art. A photograph of this painting Mrs. Haim &`oared to a Kan- sas City art expert with .thy rather curious amid un'eapect•, ., marine of Mag..

G. Nichols, president of the Kansas City art institute, telling hixl that it wuld be a tremendous feather in the cap of Kansas City to become the possessor of the historic painting. Mr. Nichola waled with him and said he would tee willing to pay $250,000 for the canvas if it should turn out to be as represented. News of the pending transaction be- came public and Sir Joseph Duveen, the British art expert was quoted as having been incautious, enough to say that the Hahn canvas was a copy and an inferior one at that. Mr. Nichols saw this in the newspapers, and when Mr. Hug next appeared, told him that the deal was off. Mrs. Hahn there- upon sued Sir Joseph under a statute but rarely invoked, and this is the trial that is proceeding. Sir Joseph has refused to retract and' has spent many weary but not uninstructive hours in the witness box explaiini rg why it would have been' impossible for Da Vinci to paint "La Belle l?er- roni•ere." His opinion rests upon two strong convictions. One is that Da tiinci could not have painted such a bad picture. The other is that the picture was painted in the 18th cen- tury instead of the 15th. He called attention to one point, namely, the lace on the woman's gown. In the Louvre painting the lace is such as was commonly worn by ladies in the 15th century, while in the Hahn portrait it is much heavier. Sir Jos- eph therefore holds that in the 18th century a painter set himself the task of copying the Louvre picture but unconsciously painted the lace with which he was familiar instead of the lace as it appeared to Da Vinci. He called attention to another detail, namely the jewel which is held against the forehead of the woman by a tight fillet. This jewel, he explained, was the faslhion in Milan and Venice at the time of Leonardo, and the cord was worn tightly. So Leonardo paint- ed it. But the painter of the 'Hahn portrait did not understand the func- tion of the cord, and represents the jewel as being above it, the cord sag- ging. But it would be impossible for the jewel to have been worn thus. Leonardo knew it and painted what he saw, but the copyist was not so accurate because he did not under- stand . the function of the cord. Sir Joseph proceeded to mother poitrrt. °'Th'en this hair," he said, pointing with strong aversion to the Hahn picture, "That's not hair. That's mud. Mrs. Hahn's, counsel retorted "that's mud. Justice Black: "Don't repeat." Duveen: "This is not hair. It's mud. When hair is painted you must feel that•hair is there." ,Mrs. iHahn's counsel: "Every hair?" DuveeN: "That's not hair. It's mrd." Justice Black: "Yes; you've said that's mud." The English expert also dissected the expressions of the rival paintings, and declared that the Louvre painting, of which a photograph was before the judge, revealed a delightful smile that only Da Vinci could paint, but that the expression on the face of the Kansas City masterpiece was vapid and un- inspired. But there was one part of the ex- amination which Sir Joseph could not have enjoyed as much as Justice Black supposed. That was when Mr. Milder, the Hahn counsel wrung frons him the reluctant admission that on one occasion he had doubted the au- thenticity of the Louvre portrait which he now admires so fervently. A little later the laugh was on the earnest counsel, whose knowledge of net and the Italian language are be- ing laid, apparently, in this trial. He picked up a volume on art written by Melaguzzi-Valeri and consulted the title. Turning to Duveen, he said: "Have you ever • heard of Privada Vita, who is the co-author of this book ?" Sir Joseph was puzzled for a mom- ent and then smilingly explained that Privada Vita is not the name of an author, but the Italian words for "private life." 'So the trial proceeds, with reasonable enjoyment for every- body at one time or another, but with- out providing anybody, so far as we can see, with uninterrupted happiness.
