LOANS TO VETERANS
Loans to veterans of the World
War on their adjusted service cer-
tificates twill be made, beginning
April 1, under the provisions of the
new law enacted by Congress. These
loans will be made by regional of-
fices of the Veterans' Bureau upon
a veteran's promissory note, secured
by his certificate.
Certificates have no loan value
until two years after issue, and only
veteran holders of certificates can
obtain loans on them. Loans will be
made for one year, but if not repaid
will be automatically extended from
year to year, principal and interest
due to become the new principal at
the beginning of each loan year. If
not repaid before the veteran's insur-
ance policy becomes payable by the
government, the amount of loan and
interest will be deducted from the
face value of the policy before pay-
ment is made to the veteran or his
beneficiary.
Payments on loans may be made by
a veteran in sums of $5 or any mul-
tiple thereof, or may be paid in full
at any time.
This new provision for loans by
the Veteran's Bureau does not inter-
fere wih the making of loans by
banks as heretofore, and the director
of the bureau recommends that such
loans bo made through local banks
when convenient.
It may be added that leans are
surrounded by quite a lot of red tape
in any event, and the veteran who
can get along without borrowing on
his adjusted certificate is advised to
hold it intact. It will be far more
valuable a few years from now, and
the small amount which can be box--
rowed on it at present is not suffi-
cient to do any one very much good.
A MODERN JONAH.
People whose belief of the Biblical
story of Jonah and the whale has
been ridiculed by skeptics may find
comfort and satisfaction in this story,
told in Capper's weekly, and submit-
ted herewith for what it is worth.
According to the account, one
James Bartley, an English sailor, was
missing after the crew of his vessel
had captured a large sperm whale
off Falkland Islands in February,
1891. After working a day and a
night removing the whale's blubber,
the stomach was hoisted aboard show-
ing signs of life. Upon cutting it
open Bartley was found inside, un-
conscious, but wae shortly revived
only to be found to be a raving ma-
niac.
He recovered his reason in about
two weeks and related his experi-
ences of having been thrown from a
boat and slipping into the whale's
stomach. He said the heat was
terrific, but he was able to breathe
although he soon became unconscious
nnd knew nothing more until he re-
gained his senses on board the ship.
It is said that Bartley's skin was
bleached to deathly whiteness by the
heat and the gastric juices of the
whale, and remained so, although he
otherwise recovered.
We merely repeat the story, but
do not vouch for its truthfulness.
Sermon No. 11.
Subject—"Good Works."
Text: "For by grace are ye saved,
through faith; and that not of your-
selves; it is the gift of God; not of
works, lest any man should boast. For
we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them." Eph. 2:8-10.
This is a great text and contains the
germ thought sufficient for a dozen
ten-minute sermons. I have selected it
especially to show that we are creat-
in Christ Jesus unto good works. In
my last sermon the statement is made
that in the "great salvation" we are
saved from past, present and future
sins, but that is said of the truly pen-
itent, trusting, believing, faithful
soul. The fact that salvation is t>y
grace does not release us from a life
of good works. Indeed we should re-
joice in the fact that when sin has
been taken away, when we have been
forgiven of all past sins, and have
been made new creatures in Chirst,
and have been adopted into the fam-
ily of God, and have been granted cit-
izenship in his kingdom, that we have
also been assigned a task, and grant-
ed the high and holy privilege of
helping to enlarge and advance that
kingdom.
Created in Chirst.
So we are "created in Christ Jesus
unto good works." The young convert
with his heart full of the love of God,
and conscious of his own salvation is
filled with a desire for the salvation
of brother, sister, or any other friend
who is still under the blight and
curse of sin.
Many a new born soul in his first
joyful experience of a new heart, a
new life and a new love has rushed
out among his friends at once and led
some of them to Christ. This is the
work and the happy privilege of a
saved soul. This work should continue
throughout the happy, useful, faith-
ful life of every Christian.
If all believers were faithful in try-
ing to bring others to Christ the king-
dom in all its fullness and power
would soon come and mightily prevail.
And this is the way we are delivered
from present and future sins, by con-
tinually working at the task, what-
ever it may be, which God has given
us to perform. But if we fail to per-
form our duties, and to be actively
engaged in the service of God, we
also fail to be delivered from present
and future sins. The sin of omission
first appears, then the sin of commis-
sion, and the joy of salvation disap-
pears. And unless such an one truly
repents and obtains pardon again his
life of good works will not amount
to much. His light becomes darkness,
and "how great is that darkness!"
Matt. G:23. If angels rejoice over re-
penting sinners, what must they do
when "the light that is in thee be-
cometh darkness?"
Most Come Short.
Perhaps most Christians come short
of the glory of God. They do not let
their "light so shine before men that
they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in hea-
ven." Matt. 5:16. Herein is great
trouble, both for the believer and for
the unbeliever who is needing the
light, and perhaps is looking for it
and wishing for it, but he fails to
see it in you. Hence he continues to
wolk in darkness and may perish for
lack of your light—your life of good
works.
We are not saved by "good works,"
but "by grace are ye saved, through
faith." "Not of works, lest any man
should boast." The unconverted man
who supposes he will be saved be-
cause he does a good deed occasion-
ally, will be disappointed. Eternal
life is "the gift of God." A life of
good works is beneficial to others, as
well as to the faithful worker. Salva-
tion is by grace, but reward is for
work. "And every man shall receive
his own reward according .to his own
labor." 1 Cor. 3:8. I shall not be
surprised if in heaven some men and
women who have blundered through
life without having made much effort
to serve God and to make the world
better, would much prefer to have the
faithful worker's reward; at least, it
seems that they could not but wish
that they had been more faithful
Christian workers.
Reward for Work.
"If any man's work abide which he
hath built, thereupon he shall receive
a reward. If any man's work shall be
burned, he shall suffer loss; but he
himself shall be saved; yet so as by
fire." 1 Cor. 3:14, 15. Both of these
classes are Christians, but one class
are the shirkers—the drones in the
hive.
Every Christan makes his own re-
ward, but if one should undertake to
do Christan work in order to obtain
a reward—his motive being wrong—
he would receive nothing. Christian
service must be unselfish, and in the
interest of others.
The highest privilege granted to
man upon the earth, is that of becom-
ing a true Christan, and of becoming
a useful servant of the church, and of
winning souls for Christ; and the rich-
est joys that flow forever through the
soul wil come from the fact that true
piety and faithfulness have led others
into the kingdom. They are "stars in
his crown." Let us not forget, how-
ever, that Christ is the "joy of hea-
ven."
A Glorious Time.
When the great day comes it will be
a glorious time for those who have
followed Christ in a life of "good
works," and are ready to meet their
Lord without embarrassment; and he
says unto them: "Come, ye blessed of
my Father, inherit the kingdom pre-
pared for you from the foundation of
the world: For I was an hungered
and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty,
and ye gave me drink; 1 was a stran-
ger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye
clothed me; I was sick and ye visited
me; I was in prison and ye came unto
me; * * * Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done it unto
me." Matt. 25:34-40. Those who re-
fused or failed to do those things shall
go away into everlasting punishment,
but the righteous (those who did
those things as they had opportunity)
"into life eternal." Matt. 25:40.

to be revised according to advices
from Washington. There is nothing
said about the odor. It is supposed
to stand pat.

erected to the apple. But poor little

EXPERT THINKERS.
In keeping with the tendency to
specialization in all l?n«*s of effort,
a recent writer suggests that we
may finally develop a class of pro-
fessional thinkers
It is pointed out that for the aver-
age person, real thinking is not only
he most difficult task, but the one
least efficiently performed, ever
.vhen attempted.
According to the plan, the pro-
fessional thinker would be consulted
in all matters involving any except
the most elementary mental pro-
esses. He might wear a distinctive
nlform or badge as a mark of his
irofession.
While the idea may appear fan-
istic, it is perhaps not so far fetch-
J as it seems. In all except the
.est ordinary affairs a majority of
jerRons depend on others to do their
thinking for them now.
When an important question arises.
V usual procedure is to side-step 6
:ision until it is found out what
'1 or Tom or Professor So-and-So
links about it. And, unfortunately,
e one upon whom we depend thinks
'ong, but we do not find it out until
is too late.
The Scientific American records a
ent case in which a pair of for-
s was sewed up inside the patient's
dome.i after an operation. A sec-
d operation was performed, which
Jw successful—for the doc to/- recov-
ered his forcep*—but the patient
died. As the journal remarks, "this
ia thfc, sort of happening that pro-
vides anti-medical cranks with am-
munition to fire at the doctors."

There is considerable sub rosa talk
in Saint Jo about running a lady for
the office of mayor, and perhaps put-

would it be proper to speak of them
as alderwomen? We may have an in-
teresting city election here yet.

* HARD KNOCKS AND LOVE *
LICKS.
Recently a young lady manned an
old man—a millionaire—evidently for
his money. He might have abused
her. At any rate she was unhappy,
and sued for a divorce and $300 a
week alimony, for spending money.
The court decided that she might have
the divorce, but not the money. Even
if this was just, it was pitiful—it wus
tragic.
■ 1> ■
There is an old saying, "Marry for
love ami work for riches." If this old
saying is somewhat antiquated, it con-
tains some fine suggestions. If a wo-
man loves a man who has the money,
11 and good. She may marry him
and be happy with him. But if she
marries him just for his money, she
can't be happy. Her heart will ache,
ti
Years ago somebody said there are
four classes of women: First, the
true wife; second, "just a woman,"
though married; third, "just a thing,"
though she was also married; and
fourth, just a "thing-a-ma-doo," and
she was also married.
—o—
If we have these four classes of
women with us today, it would be of
interest to young men to visit in their
homes with eyes open and read the
different handwritings upon the walls.
It would do no good to go with their
eyes shut, as most men do.
—o—
The true wife is a happy wife and
a sweet mother. She has married for
love, and if her husband is her equal
and worthy of her, they are happy to-
gether. And they work together to
build and maintain a happy home in
which their children may live and
grow and develop into splendid men
and women.
The home in which there is "just
a woman," though a wife and mother,
is unhappy and unsettled. She is
thoughtless, careless, not ambitious,
and unless her husband is her superior
their children are handicapped and
hindered in life.
In the home where there is "just
a thing" for a wife and mother, there
will likely be sorrow and distress, and
the children will be greatly hindered
and left unprepared for their im-
portant life work.
■—O—
And what can be said for the home
in which and over which a woman
presides who has been classed as a
'thing-a-ma-doo", with a husband to
match? May we not look for bandits,
bootleggers and criminals to grow up
in a home like that?
—o—
If we have these four classes of
homes in this our day and time, it
is not because of the size or value and
beauty of the dwelling, but because
of the character of the people who
dwell there.
