January 15.—More 00,000 Armenian refugees be- Kars and Alexandropol are ng because of lack of food and fuel and anarchy stalks among them, stated latest advices from Armenia by way of Paris, received here by the Near East Relief. : Details of the formation of the new government of the Armenian repub- Jic, constituted at the instance of the ¢Mussian soviet government, also have been received by the Near East Relief. Following the rout of the Armenian army by Turkish nationalists, the for- Mer cabinet was ousted and a mili- tary government proclaimed under Gen.

NEUTRALITY REITERATED IN TACNA-ARICA DISPUTE | v Santiago Newspapers Declare Semi- Offcially That U. S. Has Re- * | declared Purpose. SANTIAGO, Chile, January 13.—Both} the Nacion and El Mercurio publish news stories, apparently semi-official in origin, in which it is declared that the American government has reiterated its intention to observe absolute neutrality in the Tacna-Arica disputes (involving territorial _claims by Chile, Peru and Bolivia), now and in the future. Both 'these newspapers assert that rumors have been current recently in South America to the effect that the Washington government was studying the possibility of intervening in the con- troversy between Chile and Peru over the provinces with a_view to securing a solution of it. The Mercurio asserts it has learned on the highest authority that Secretary of State Colby had re- fterated the declaration that the only conditions under which the United States would consider participation in an at- tempt to solve the problem would be the request of both Chile and Peru for +uch mediation. Close observers here of the Tacna-Arica dispute point out that previous discussions looking to a solu- tion have revolved largely around clause JII of the treaty of Ancon, concluded in 1583, after the war between Chile and Peru, which provided for a plebiscite ten years later to determine the owner- ship of the provinces, which meanwhile were to be held by Chile. The publication of the newspaper articies drew out the statement by Jo-; seph H. Shea, the American ambassa- dor, that the utterances attributed to he American Secretary of State were in_ entire accord with the traditional policy of the United States. WEEK’S PROGRAM,Y.W.C.A.

Golden text: Thou shalt love | thy neighbor as thyself. Matt., | 19.19. Bl BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. Our lesson presents to us a portrait of a character. whom Mark tells us Jesus loved. The reason that Christ admired the young ruler was not due to his personal morality, although he caimed that he had kept'the law from the days of his youth. because Christ knew that he was deficient, in spite of his claims. The clean-cut charac- ter of this wealthy religious leader is revealed by his courageous coming at that hour to seek knowledge from Christ concerning eternal life. He had not found in his-position in the religious life of his day or in his im- mense fortune any peace of mind. He came to Jesus seeking light upon the theme which the Jews of that pe- riod frequently discussed. The Mas- ter must have welcomed this earnest, humble ahd eager questioner when he approached Him with the hope of ob- taining information that would en- able him to make sure of eternal life, It was a rare thing for one in his position to think seriously of reli- gious affairs, but, instead of giving his time to the social life of his day, the rich young ruler of the syna- gogue, if not a.member of the San- hedrin, devoted his time to the af- fairs of God. He laid aside all con- ditions of his rank and prestige that he might talk -with Jesus-about'the question . which disturbed his soul. Christ knew that the earnest’ and humble questioner did not understand the mystery of ‘His character, The young ruler recognized that the Lord possessed a peace, serenity and su- premacy of soul, which he coveted for his own. The Master saw the pos- sibilities of a great spiritual life in the young man, who ran and knelt before Him, seeking suggestions as to what he had to do to obtain eternal life. In fact, his heart went out to him. and he -tried to aid the young ruler by pointing out his deficiencies with the hopes of winning him for His service. Few would have noticed the de- fects in his life. TUpon the whole he appeared to be an ideal young man, for his deficiencies were partly hid- den. One would not have said that the humble, prostrated ruler was proud, yet he evidently was proud of his attainments in keeping the law. Paul, the great apostle, claimed that he was blameless concerning the law, yet later, although he claimed that; "if any man had a right to boast, he had more right; yet he taught that the righteousness ob- tained by the law was worthless. Men who have great moral excellence without the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, are apt to be proud men—that is, proud of themselves. It was necessary that the Lord place before this young man the fact that there was a higher law than Sinai. ‘The unmasking of the inquiring ruler's defects revealed that, al- though he ‘was a religious leader, yet he was ignorant concerning the re- quirements of Jehovah. He was thor- oughly informed concerning the re- quirements of the law, but he was profoundly ignorant concerning its true spiritual import. He did not see that the keeping of the Com- mandments called for something more than the observance of the letter of the law. He thought that by doing 8o he could secure eternal life. It could not be earned. Eternal life is im- parted by the grace of God in ac- cordance with certain fixed spiritual laws. He did not understand that the commands against murder, adul- tery, theft and love to one's meigh- bor. as called for in the law, had respect to the affections of the soul, | and not the mere physical observance. He did not see what Jesus pointed out that to hate is to murder, to covet is to steal and to lust is to commit adultery. “Being ignorant of God's righteousness, he was going about to establish his own _ righteousness.” Heaven cannot be bought by good actions, while he thought that he could by doing something more than was included in the Commandménts make certain his obtaining eternal life. He did not consider his rela- tionse to Jehovah, for he was think- ing of doing something good for men. When Jesus gave him the acid test, meeting him on his own ground, that of doing, he refused. He was a self- centered, sordid and selfish person. His longing for a future life was due to his desire to be satisfled. He want- ed to do good, not for the purpose of making the world better, but because he expected that he would reap hap- piness as a reward of his services. His refusal to do as Jesus command- ed can be traced to his wealth. He was very wealthy and his love for gold kept him from obeying Christ. He was not willing to share the riches, which belonged to God, and which he, as a trustee, ought to have used as the Lord directed for the ben- efit of humanity. Jesus did not ques- tion his title to his wealth, but he pointed out' how he could prove his 1 professions by providing for the poor {and following Him. The young man was_apparently -stunned for a mo- ment. His self-righteousness_lacked the depths of sincerity.- He could not comply with the demands of Jesus for a-life of self-denial, sacrifice and service. He parted. with Christ and went-away mad,-but his:sorrow was not one, that would.work repentance If we are to share Christ's offer of eternal life we.must be ready and willing to give up-our all ‘for the kingdom's work.-- The -rich young ruler saw that his profession was su. perficial, but he went.away from the Lerd and the opportunity to obtain eternal lite. Some have suggested that he returned again, even main- {aining that he was no other than 'aul, bu! ere is no scriptural - datiop for this theory. b U ol foun Christ's offer of a reward to the rich young ruler. if he would sell all his possessions and follow the Master, of treasure in heaven, prompted Peter to raise the question of rewards, es- pecially for the disciples who had left all to follow Him. They were still looking for the immediate estab- lishment of the kingdom, although Christ had tried to make clear to them that their views were wrong. In answering Peter. the Master made a twofold answer. He promised that every- true follower would certainly receive a splendid reward, but this reward was not to be given in pro- portion to the service rendered, but in accordance with the spirit in which the work wag performed. esus pointed out to the disc the dangers of riches o One's PRI ual life. It is not the possession of riches “that is sinful, but the in- ordinate desire for gold and wealth that is dangerous. The love of money instead of God makes it diff- cult for those who trust in their gold “to enter into the kingdom.- The young ruler cared more for his £0ld "than. he did for his soul, his nelghbor or his God. He represented by his turning away from Christ the lesson Jesus sought to impress upon his disciples. The Master dia not teach that he could not be saved, but he pointed out how his love of wealth would interfere with his performing his duty as a professed. Christian, sharing the earthly experience of the Christian warfare and victory. The present wave of crime that has swept over the world has its roots in the love of money. Men have been per- forming all sorts of sinful acts for money. This was a new angle of truth to them, since they had been in the 1—PART 1.7 avid Ransom Covel LL Morning services as usual. 8 p.m.—Harmony Lodge Pilgrimage.

It is not impossible when we turn to the Father and consider all that He has done for us. His spirit will change the soul and impart new life to the most covetous man if he will turn to God for salvation and help to live the Christian life of self-denial, sac- rifice and service. His Holy Spirit will fill our hearts with the impulse and motives that will enable all, who desire to glorify Christ Jesus to give up their all for the kingdom. All who forsake anything for His sake will receive not only a hundredfold reward in this life, but that which is greater, eternal life in the future. MEMORIAL HALL DEDICATED.

Owen, for twenty-five years in the real estate auction busi- ness in Washington, and Mrs. Van- delia Owen, his wife, both of whom died in November, 1918, was dedicated last Sunday in Grace M. E.
