Lesson Passage—Luke 9:1-10 : 24; 10:1-11, 17, 21, 22. Golden Text—Luke 10:2. Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth to de the Father's will—to seek and to save the lost—and in order to carry out this purpose he chose twelve men to work along with him. They were missionaries for the word means one sent. They were the forerunners of a great host •of devoted followers of Christ, and in the work of both home and foreign missionaries to -day we can trace the working out of the method employed by these early am- bassadors. They were trained work- ers, called of the Master, commission- ed and directed by him. In the 9th chapter we read of the twelve (being given power and author- ity over all devils, and to cure dis- eases. Thus equipped they started off to preach and to heal. Having been constantly in the company of Jesus for almost two years, they were now sent off on their own but to guard against failure through lack of com- panionship they were sent forth two and two (Mark 6:7). We can't but wonder who was the companion of Judas. Might it not be Peter? There was to be nothing spectacular about them --simply dressed and with no visible means of support, they were to depend on the customary hospital- ity of the people. But what they said and what they did was neither said nor done in a corner for news of these six bands of men reached Her- od's ears. The gospel which they preached was Jesus, his words and his works and what Herod heard caus- ed him anxious questioning. He rea- soned that it couldn't be John the Baptist."Who ' is this,of whom I P hear 'so much?" And he desired to see him. It is the same wherever the gospel is preached. "Who is Jesus?" It is said that Napoleon was heard to say that he understood such lead- ers of men as Caesar, Charlemagne and himself who had founded great empires by force, 'but he couldn't fathom the work and influence of Jesus. Sherwood Eddy reports an in- terview which he had with a leading 'Hindu. Among other things he said: "I am a Hindu, but I believe in Jesus Christ as the highest fulfilment of Hinduism. I 'lave a picture of Christ crucified in my 'bedroom, where I can look daily upon it. I have not only read through the entire Bible, but I read it every night 'before going to bed. I believe Jesus Christ to ba unique in His character, His teaching, His power to save and help men, and especially in His dynamic and world- wide social program." This is no is- olated' instance of non-Christians be- ing attracted to Jesus through the work of Iris followers so that they are lead to inquire about Him and tt study the Bible. We are not told how long the mis- sion lasted but evidently it was crowned with success. On their re- turn they presented their reports and Jesus seeing their need of rest and refreshinent of mind and spirit as well as body, said unto them: "Come ye yourselves apart into a desert r 1 c ErhiM,lM.

Potter was thereup- on arrested. •He•was twice tried, land twice acquitted. But the scheme of hiding witnessea seems to have 'been a fa'v'orite with Potter. At his own trial it appears that a witness had been hidden, and a man named Robert Bunowitz was convicted of having been the agent. He turned state's evidence and swore that he had acted for Potter. A new warrant charging Potter with perjury was then issued. He was indicted and was to have been placed on trial in the course of the week he disappear- ed. He was missing for five days before leis body was discovered, wear- ing a hat and overcoat, in a furnish- ed flat in a part of the city far from his own home. His movements were traced up to perhaps less than an hour of the time he was murdered. In the afternoon he tele'phoned his wife saying that he would be detained down town for dinner. At 7 o'clock he chatted with a restaurant keeper who knew him well and said that he was about to "keep a date." Inquiries at the flat where the body was found revealed nobody who knew Potter or had ever seen him before. The landlord testified that the prem- ises had been rented a few days earl- ier by a man who paid a month's rent in 'advance, and was not thereafter seen. A woman of that dazzling beau- ty which is particularly associated with murders and politics was noted as the man's companion. The pre- sumption is that she was the lure; that Potter went to the flat to keep an appointment with her and' was shot to death almost immediately. There is no clue to the identity of either the man or the woman. The revolver with which it is presumed the murder was committed came to light two days after the finding of the body, or a week after it had been used. It had been found on the side- walk the day after the murder and handed to a policeman who forgot all about it until the discovery of the body, when he remembered the wea- pon and turned it in. A ten year old Colt, it is impossible to trace. There the case rests at present. In- vestigators are now going back to the original land' scandal in search of a clue, the immediate tragedy having failed to provide one. That there were powerful interests behind the trans- action cannot be doubted: When Schoo- ley went to prison he had pleaded guilty and said nothing about a con- spiracy. The theory is that Schooley had been frightened or bribed into silence. The very day that Potter was shot the prosecutor, in collect- ing his eviidence, had Schooley brought before the grand jury in an endeavor to get information. But Schooley re- solute' refused to talk. So it ha Y .P - pens that Schooley is alive and Potter is dead. The latter was for years one of the city's leading Republican ma- chine that has wen all elections since 1915. After his exposure, the or- ganization cut loose from him with a show of reluctance, and when he tried for the council 'as a vindication he was defeated. He has remained on good terms with the party, but is known to have suffered financial loss- es and must have been pretty nearly at the end of his tether when the Colt solved his perplexities.: place, and rest awhile." Jesus knew the need there was for 'being much in prayer and so it is that missionaries are known to be men and women of prayer. Livingstonels prayerfulness has given to his name and memory an undying fragrance. In his diary, as given in his life, is recorded his last birthday resolution as follows: "My Jesus, my King, my Life, my all! I again dedicate my whole serf to thee. Accept me. And grant, 0 gracious Father, that ere this year is gone I may finish my work, in Jesus' name I ask it. Amen." Later on, as recorded in 10:1-11, Jesus sent out a much larger band, two by two as before, and gave them similar instructions as regards life and work. They, came back with joy. "Lord," they said, "the very demons obey us in your name." This joyous report thrilled the spirit of Jesus and he thanked' God for what 'had been done by these simple-minded men. Then he encouraged them to greater rejoici'n'g saying: "Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather re- joice, 'because your names are written in heaven." WORLD MISSIONS The early history of Roman Cath- olicism in Japan covers ninety years. The 'great Jesuit missionary, Francis Zavier, arrived in 1549. For the first forty years the Jesuit mission made remarkable progress, the number of converts being estimated at as many as a including representatives of all classes of society. The last 50 years was a period of intermittent, often intense, persecution. From 1638-1859 it was a crime to be a Christian, and many during that per- iod suffered the extreme penalty on confession of their faith. And even after 1859, when on the return of the Catholic missionaries it was found that thousands of people in Southern Japan still held the faith of their fathers, persecutions were renewed, and large numbers were seized and carried to distant parts of the coun- try in the effort to force them to re- pudiate their Christian belief. It was not until 1872, thirteen years after the country was opened to the residence of foreigners.— merchants, missionar- ies and others—the year in which the first Protestant church was organized in Japan, that the persecution of Christians ceased. Te next year, 1873, the notice -boards forbidding belief in the Christian religion under severe' penalties were taken down, and the way of the Gospel messengers made actually, though not formally, free. Religious liberty, guaranteed by the Constitution, came sixteen years lat- er, in the year 1889.—From Historical 'Review of Christian Work in Japan. MURDER AND POLITICS IN CLEVELAND MYSTERY Cleveland has a reputation of be'' ing one of the most law-abiding of large American cities. Few scandals find their origin there. Gunmen are unknown or almost unknown. Yet it is in Clevelandthat one of the most sinister and shocking murders in re- cent history has occurred. In Cleve- land, obviously, there are men who would commit murder rather than be exposed as grafters. Either they or their imported thugs have recently done to death one of the most prom- inent politicians in the city and in such circumstances as have provided the police with hardly a clue. The police organization of the city is high- ly efficient but it has made no pro- gress in solving the mystery of the death of William E. Potter, a former councilman and political 'boss. Potter was awaiting a third trial for his part in a deal which was put through in 1927, and defrauded the Cleveland treasury out of $33,250, in a city land purchase. 'He has' .been twice acquit- ted but new evidence had come to light warranting a third attempt to bring guilt home to him. The theory is that he might have made a confes- sion which would have involved other persons, and that to close his lips he was shot to death. In Somewhat sim- ilar circumstances, it may be 'recalled,', Herman Rosenthal was murdered in', New York at the instance of Police Lieutenant Becker. The story of Potter reveals the fact that graft and elven murder are not to he abolished by a system of gov- ernment. Cleveland has one of the best systems of municipal govern- ment on the continent, thanks largely to the beneficent career of Mayor Tom Johnston. It has been under a city manager for some years past. It bee had notable police chiefs. Neverthe- less there was a real estate transac- tion a few years ago when Potter was a councilman which revealed criminal graft. Another ,couneilman, Liston G. Schooley, is tow serving ,a five- year sentence foie his part In it, and his son, Liston, Jr., was also convict- ed and sent to jail.

As Shakespeare said, one may be chaste as ice and yet not escape calumny. Lincoln had 'plenty of i in his day, but Iviery little since. Now Mr. Masters makes a book largely out of the hostile criticism that otherwise would have been forgotten. The American people in particular and English•,speaking people general- ly passed a verdict upon these mat- ters 'sixty years ago. The almost un- animous judgment was that the great- nesses of Lincoln far outweighed his failures, and that take him all in all we shall not look upon his like again. But in more recent years there has cropped up a silly myth, propagated in American school books, to the ef- fect that Lincoln was a saint, and perhaps more directly descended from S.t. Peter than even the bishops who believe in the aposto'lie sueceSsion. Certainly his greatest admirers did not think that of him in his lifetime. Whatever else he was, Lincoln was a politician, and a backwoods politician. If he had not been, nobody would' have ever heard of him. The fact that he was a politician put him in line far the presidential nomination. If he had been a clergyman or evan- gelist he would not have been in line. What his admirers have always con- tended is that he had a remarkable spiritual and mental growth after be- coming president. Says Mr. Masters: "From the first he was a centralist, a privilegist, an adherent of the noreprincipaled Whig party which laid the foundation for the Republican party 'of 1854, a n d which has grown into the reckless, ignorant and imperial organization of the present time. Armed with the the- ology of a rural Methodist, Lincoln crushed the principles of free govern- ment." Of the Republican party, which he evidently dislikes, the author says "it was conceived in hatred and mothered in hatred and went forth from a diseased womb without a name." He blames Lincoln for all the sins of the Republican party since and declares that government of the people' perished in the United States as a result of the Civil War. But it surely is a new doctrine that Lincoln was responsible for the Civil War. Everybody knows that the underlying cause was the institution of slavery and the efforts of the slave states to have slavery legalized in the states then coming into existence. Lincoln has been much criticised, and we think with some justice, for so long refus- ing to put this forward as an issue and for suggesting instead that the vital issue was the right of states to secede. This explain the sympathy for the south which existed in Eng- land until the prEmancipationoclama- tion. roclama- tion. Undoubtedly the war itself brought in its train evils from which the Unit- ed States has not only failed to purge iself, but which show an inclination to harden ineradicably. States' rights have been persistently invaded. The President has gained more authority, and at the present time there seems to be an almost universal tendency to regard the United States Senate as a fossilized body without principle or intelligence; whereas we believe that at no time in the history of that body would it not have been possible to choose from its membership a man or elven half a dozen men the intel- lectual equals of the President. We d'ou'bt if to -day in this country in- structed opinion would consider for a moment the sanctioning of a war fought for the nominal cause of the Civil War. Would Ontario send an army to kill citizens of Manitoba or Saskatchewan if they wished to be- come politically independent? Or would Mario welcome a Quebec army sent here for the same purpose? But that is 'wh'at the United States td Government went to war with the south for. Speeches made by Lincoln in defence of the theory that the Un- ion was one and indivisible and that the action of the Southern States in seceding was plainly against God may sound hollow to modern ears. We do not know whether he believed them. But we know that he did, hate the in- stitution of slavery. We know that he was a broadminded and tolerant man. It may he that he did not turn up on the day set for his wedding. But he pardoned a young Northern soldier sentenced to death for sleeping at his post, and another who took to his heels in the face 'of the enemy. He showed no lust for revenge. He may have been unkempt in his dress, he may have married for money, he may have had a faculty for sophistry and for platitudinous antithesis as Mr. Masters alleges.. But for all that we think he must have been a very lov- able man, and a verb' great\'one. A MOTHER'S ANXIE1X About Her Delicate Daughter.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY—SAY IT WITH BRICKS Edgar Lee Masters' notion of suit- able greetings for Lincoln's 'birthd'ay is to produce a book in which Lincoln is knocked for a goal. In return, American newspapers have risen to knock Mr. Masters for a ghoul. For Mr. Masters as a poet and novelist we have the greatest respect, but he seems less well equipped as historian. Judging from the passages of the book which we have seen he does not approach the task of studying Lincoln as might a judge, but rather as an advocate. One critic says that he writes in the tone of an unrecon- structed southerner. Another says that it would be possible to write a book albout any eminent man, relying wholly upon what his enemies and critics said about him, and thus pro- duce a veritable caricature of him. For example, we have heard the most scandalous rumors about Woodrow Wilson;. and Theodore Roosevelt had to enter an action at law to prove that he was not a booze fighter.

FREE STATE THREATENS RAID ON IRISH BANKS A situation has arisen in the Irish Free State which constitutes a new precedent in the relations that may exist between Government and chart- ered banks. It pertains to the ques- tion of 'ownership of unclaimed monies that in banking parlance are referred to as "dead notes," still supposedly in circulation. By legislation enacted' in 1845, power was conferred on six Ir- ish banks to issue their own notes, oovering sums ranging from two and a half to five millions of dollars, ac- cording to tape size of the bank. The banks availed themselves of ,this priv- ilege to the fullest measure, up till 1927, when the Free State Parliament passed a Currency Act which among other provisions, conferred a legal right on the Government of owner- ship of "dead notes." Naturally, in the period of 82 years which had elapsed since the passing of the 1845 act, the value of notes which had dis- appeared through.destiuction by fire, water or other causes, 'amounted to a considerable sum, that has now been computed at alppronimately ten and a quarter millions of drolles's. It was the practice of the banks when a certain period had expired, to write off in their ledgers as "dead," notes which had not returned to them, and regard their value as assets. If any of these notes later materialized they were of eourse honored. It would now seem that their' account -keeping system has acted to the detriment of the banks, as the Government is de- manding that they disgorge the as- sets they derived from "dead. notes." It can readily be believed that the. banks regard this Government action. with resentment, and although the Government proposes to take aver all liabilities which may arise aga}nst the banks for redemption, the banks are anything but satisfied. They con- tend that these assets are theirs, and that what is a matter of personal lia- bility between the bank and its cus- tomer .shbuld not be made a matter of state liability. They further suggest, that a certain type of customer may feel that the security of money en- trusted to the bank is now impaired; which seems a rather sulbtle reflection on the financial stability of the Gov- ernment. (Apparently these represen- tations have been given scant consid- eration, if 'any, for the Government has already earmarked a considerable proportion of the total amount to aid in a suggested scheme for de -rating, as well as other projects for the re- lief 'of unemployment and industrial depression. It must not be thought, however, that the way of the Government is its efforts to acquire this money • has been smooth. Difficulties of many kinds arose. The most serious was presented by the British Government, which showed its intention of not ig- noring the situation Iby passing early in 1929 a Currency Act also making claim to the Irish "dead note" bank assets in their entirety, by virtue of clauses in the 1845 Bank Act. This action, which attempted to override the Free State 'Currency Act, put the fat in the fire with a vengeance and the Free State 'Government became - loud in remonstrance, particularly as the British Act confined its attentions to the banks operating in the Free State and did not attempt to include any of the British or Scottish banks. This controversy is still unsettled, and not even a compromise on the division of the booty appears within sight. Two of the six banks involved have their head offices in Belfast, and their situation would seem to be a parlous one. Being under the direct jurisdiction of Great Britain, while doing the major portion of their business in the Free State, they become threatened virtually with extinction if they ignore the claims of the latter, while the British claim would seem to be compellable and the only alternative that of paying twice. Furthermore, following the passing of the Irish Act of 1927, they entered into an agreement with the Free State Government to pay it whatever sum was finally agreed upon as being the correct amount of its' assets which were derived from "dead note" source and in return they were allowed to participate in a Consolidated Note Is- sue made by the Government itself, which took the place of the note is- sues formerly made by the banks themselves, the latter being abolish- ed. The whole huestion furnishes considerable food for thought. It is not to be expected that the Free State will stand alone, or that the example it has set will not be copied by other countries. The writer considers that if banks cannot furnish stronger rea- sep,s than those that the banks of the Irish Free State have advanced, for the retention of funds derived frons sources like "dead notes," their posi- tion in the matter is much weaker than that of the State, and that ulti- mately there will be found the Gov- ernment of every country acquiring such monies as revenues, just as the Crown now falls heir to the property left by an intestate who.has no known relatives. coy „ogle coxas-vota ult‘tle /de ANGI EP'S ANGIER'S EMULSION is a very effective remedy to overcome and resist the respiratory digestive and intestinal effects of Colds, Grippe or Influenza.
