»” e WOLLDDEMANDALL GERMANY CAN PAY B. M. Baruch Discusses Rep- arations and, Incidentally, Interallied Indebtedness. Suggestions of the amount of rep- arations which Germany is able to pay in settlement of damages result- ang from her war ravages, and alse + terms for a conditional cancellation of interallied indebtedness are given by B. M. Baruch in_the current issue of the official publication of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Mr. Baruch, as chairman of the American reparations commission, took a large part in drafting the eco- romic sections of the peace treaty Instead of canceling outright other nations indebtedness to this country, NMr. Baruch suggests that the United s cancel conditionally the ent in this country for during the war. This sum, should be held as a demand without interest and to be collected in case this country be- comes involved in future war. that event, he says, the United would have to purchase munitions from foreizn countries. Says Germany Should Go to Work. He says that he is not one of those who think that the allies should not require Germany to pay the largest possible sum, but if France and the other allies are to be compensated at all, Germany must get down to work He lso points out that the burden placed on Germany must not be such as to_enslave her pebple, thoush it must be to the limit of her v to pay. The c sus in Paris,” says Mr. Raruch, that Germany could pay at last the capital sum of $15,000,- V06600, About $3,000,000,000 has Deen paid. $56,000.000,000 spread over ¢ years, is equal to about $13 00,000 at going rates of interest per cent, which foreign na- have to pay in this market. In the discussion of German reparations the allics’ experts always took 5 per cent, which would give to $56,000,000,- 000 'spread over forty-two vears a present value of $21.000,000,000. Items for Consideration. “Doubtless those who are charged With the settlement of the reparations will take into consideration the large amount of claims for ships destroyed, pre-war debts and so on, that Ameri- can citizens have against Germany, aside from the reparations. An ar- rangement could be made whereby these claims would receive treatment pari passu, with the reparations due to other countries, instead of being left in the status of a claim so re- mote that it would be impossible for our citizens to obtain satisfaction. TUnless America participates in the settlement. these claims must remain a deferred mortgage. Our only course seems to lie in becoming a party to the settlement. THE WEATHER.

What's the mat- ter with him?" The doctor pursed his lips and look- ed wise, while Drummond wondered that no one had ever passed a law al- lowing men of his type to be mur- dered on sight. “His_heart seems sound.” he an- swered after.a\ weighty pause, “and I found nothing wrong with him con- stitutionally.

Boxer wore a black ‘coat and Woof- Woof, his sister, wore a brown coat, and {livelier or more mischievous little folks be found. Boxer was just a wee bit bigger than his sister, but he was no smarter, nor was ho the least bit quicker. For more than two months they had lived under the great wind- fall in the Green Forest without cven once poking their funny little noses outside. You see, when they were born { they were very small and helpless. You remember that Peter Rabbit happened to be over by the great wind- {fall the first time they ventured out- side and that he gave them a terrible scare by thumping the ground with his {hind feet. Safely back in their bedroom they snuggled together. | “Who do vou suppose that terrible fellow was?” whispered Woof-Woof. i How that would have tickled Peter uld he had heard jt! “I haven't the least idea,” replied Boxer. “I guess we are lucky to be safely back here. Did you notice how his_ears stood up?” Ve must ask Mother Bear about him,” said Woof-Woof. “He was only about our size, and perhaps he isn't so terrible, after all, “Here she comes now. “Let's not say anything about it whispered Boxer hurriedly. “You know she told us not to go outside. We may ®ee him again some time and then we can ask her.” So when Mrs. Bear arrived she found Boxer and Woof-Woof curled up, with their arms around each other and look- ing as_innocent as it was possible for baby Bears to look. Mother Bear grinned. She knew just what had hap- pencd out there, for she had seen it all, You remember that she had frightened Peter Rabbit even more than he had frightened the cubs. But she wisely de- cided that she would say nothing about it then. “These cubs have hadstheir first les- son in life,” thought she, as she watched them trying so to appear to 3, not in all the Green Forest could two| “It's_about a great pal of mine, Sanger, { Capt.

The doctor smiled: “Reassure your- self, my dear sir,” he murmured in hix best professional manner. “Capt. Drummond, so far as. I am aware, has never been better.

The man stared at him uncompre- Phensively, and shook his head. “Do you remember last night?” Hugh continued, speaking very slow- mil- ly and distinctly. Then a sudden iidea struck him and he pulled the scrap of paper out of his case. *“Do u remember signing that?” he ask- ed, holding it out For a while the man looked at it; | to him. | | then, with a sudden cry of fea i | . he shrank away. “No. no.” he muttered, “not again.” i . _Hugh hurriedly replaced the paper. {“Bad break on my part, old bean; you evidently .remember rather too well.

The man nodded his head doubtfully and muttered “Hiram Potts” once or twice, as if the words sounded fa- miliar. “Do you remember driving in a mo- tor car last night?* persisted Hugh. But what little flash of remem- ,bancc had pierced the drug-clouded b¥hin seemed to have passed; the man jonly stared dazedly .at the speaker. Drummond tried him with a few more questions, but it was no use, land after a while moved toward the door. “Don’t you worry, old son,” he said, with a smile. “We'll have you jump- ing about like a two-year-old in a couple of days.” Then he paused: The man was evi- dently trying to say something. “What is it you want?” Hugh leant over the bed. “Danger, danger.” Faintly the words came, and then, with a sigh, he lay back exhausted. 3 With a grim. smile Drummond j watched the motionless figure. I'm afraid,” he said half aloud, “that you're rather like your medical attendant. Your only contribution to the sphere of pure knowledge is something I know already.” He went out and Quietly closed the door. And’as he re-entered his sit- ting room he found his servant stand- ing motionless behind one of the cur- tains, watching the street below. i “There's a _man, sir.” he remarked I'without turning around, “watching the house.” For a moment Hugh stood still, frowning. Then he gave a_short laugh. “The devil i marked. *“The game earnest, my worthy warrior, with the first nine points ta us, for pésses- sion, ‘even of a semi-dazed lunatic, is nine points of the law, is it not, James?" His servant retreated cautiously from the curtain &nd came back into the room. “Of the law—yes, sir, he repeated enigmatically. It is time, asleep. “They disobeved and as a re- sult they got a great fright. I won't tell them that Peter Rabbit is the most harmless fellow in the Great World. ‘They will remember this fright longer it T don't. These scamps are growing like weeds. They went outside tonight it is time to take them out and show them something of the Great World. ‘I don't they will try it again while I am away and something might happen sly old sinmer would make an end of that cub.” She poked the two cubs. “You're not asleep,” said she. “Don’t think you can fool your mother. Tomorrow morning you can go outside and play a little while, providing you will promise not to go more than one jump away from the entrance to this home of ours. There are great dangers in tho Green Forest for little Bears.” Of course Boxer and Woof-Woof promised. So for several mornings they played just outside the entrance, while their mother pretended to take ‘@ nap. It was then that Chatterer the Red Squirrel and Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow had such fun frightening those twin cubs. And they didn't know, nor did the twins, that all the time Mrs. Bear knows just what was gaing on and . was keeping quiet that the twins might learn for themselves. (Copsright, 1921, by T. W.

Golden text—Every man that striveth in the games exer- ciseth self-control in all things. 1 Corinthians, 9.25. BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. Jesus has been recognized as the great physician. His ministry of healing was a practical application of His spiritual messages. In doing good the Master, recognized the rela- tion that exists between the health of the body and the strength of the soul. This-is seen by His combina- tion-of “preaching the gospel of the kingdom” with “the healing of all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.” It appears in His direc- tion to the apostles when He sent them ferth upon their first mission. “Hecwalled the- twelve together and gavaAlem power and authority over all demons, and to cure disease. And He- §nt them forth to preach th kingllom of God and to heal the sick. Failure upon the part of Christians to emphasize the close relation that exists between health and religion in the past calls for men to study and reaffirm “the eternal truth that the human spirit is not only affected by its bodily environment,” but that it also has a determinative influence in shaping the environment. Not only does a_healthy body favor a healthy soul; bu¢ a healthy soul favors a healthy body.” No system of publio health would reject . the sanitary regulations of Moses. The success, strength-and supremacy of the .Jews over their pagan neighbors in re- sisting " the plagues of the- middle ages was due in all probability to their observances of the teachings of Moses. While the Bible is not a book of medicine, but of religion, it contains much that is of value for the promotion of the physical body and the welfare of the public. Health is the normal life. agtording to God's plan. Disease, like sin, is a result of breaking the Heavenly Father's program for all. Nat all who are sick have brought it'upon themselves, for in many cases it/is an inheritance. The Creator of this world planned that it should be ruled .by, law and order. When the prinos of the power of the air introduced disease, which produces death, “that is the wages of sin, then the grace of God proclaimed the com- ing of One Who would destroy Satan’s power. During all His life among men. Jesus, the Prince of Life, faced the antagonism of the evil one, who massed all -his foroes against the Lord upon the cross. . There the prince of the power of the air suf- fered defeat and met his doom. The success of Christ in, healing men encouraged his disciples to try and heal men through faith in His name.” The curing of disease was one of the grand evidences of Christ and the apostles. The proof of His mis- sion were sound bodies. The prophet had proclaimed, “For I' will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord.” Christ pointed to the deaf hearing, the dumb speaking, the blind seeing and the paralytic walking and leaping, as evi- dence that He was the Messiah. The apostles, in His name, wrought won- ders similar to those performed by the Lord Jesus even handkerchiefs which St. Paul touched conveyed heal- ing power to. those, who, in faith, re- ceived them. No matter how one ex- pliins these cures, the fact remains that the apostles were transmitters of divine power and promoters of health. While there has been an, unbroken line ofbelievers that fafth could con- tinue to perform the wonderful cures of the apostolic age, yet, with the de- velopment of. medical science and the increased responsibility’ placed upon the ministry, there has been a graw- ing. tendency to leave the work of heal- ing to ‘the physicians to whom God had revealed. by sclence, how. to use the healing power that He had bestow- ed upon some herb or mineral. In all the work of the physicians and medi- cine the Healer has been the Lord, who “healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” The de- mands of the hour are calling' for a remarriage of the minister and the physician, whose healing ministry has been divorced in time past. The great development of nervous disorders has, in the judgment of ‘one of the world's leading: physicians, sounded the call for reunion. He recogmizes that .in the fundamental Christian truths there is healing power. Hugh McMillan has well said that “the gifts of healing which the early church enjoyed are perpetuated not in a miraculous but in a natural way; not in ‘faith cures' practiced by ig- norant and credulous pietists, but in the’ more real and satisfactory cures of science; in wonders of healing .ef- fectd in our hospitals, which a quar- tar of a century ago would have been deemed impossible; in the more ac- curate knowledge acquired by better methods of study. and in the tender ministries of the more favored classes tq the poor, helpless victims of dis- edse. And, just as Christ did not win His triumphs over disease and death by the mere exercise of a mere nom- inal faith costing Him nothing, so we cannot triumph over our modern dis- ease by spells of faith, expecting to win costi a mere presumptuous effort Sained by earnest It is us nothing, what can only be thought and hard i THE RELIGIOUS WORLD PULPIT AND PEW The revival services at Temple Bap- | tist Church will continue through the | week.

If Christians would take advantage of the resurces that science has placed in | their power, their ‘faith in the efficacy of prayer, faith and the reading of God’s word as factors in healing or diseases and curing those who are sick would be increased. A distinguished Spanish physician, when connected with the government hospital in Washington, claimed that modern psychotherapy fol- Iowed the principles and practices of tne Lord. Any physician will confirm the value of faith and courage, which is developed by a confidence in God's power as an aid to medical remedies. Gulick has pointed out the value of Bible reading on the nerves. Modern science has proven how in- fluential the mind is in .affecting the body. “Every intellectual and emotional state involves modification of the ner- vous substances, and through such modifications every organ of the body is changed, first in function and ulti- mately in structure.

Rev. Dr. L. C. Barnes of New York, i of the blood in the brain and an intensi- fication of all the vital functions. Any emotional stimulant is transmitted at once into nervous, glandular and other equivalents. Fears, hopes, loves, etc., are registered at once in organic changes. Love, for instance, is asthe- nic, or strengthening emotion, energiz- ing every organ of the body, and thereby | ! raising the potential of vitality.” Prof. James points out the place of prayer as remedy for curing disease by his statement in_ his “Varieties of Religious Experience,” “that as regards prayers for the sick, if any medical fact can be considered to stand firm, it is that in certain ervironments prayer may contribute to recovery, and should be encouraged as a therapeutic measure.” Prayer brings things to pass. It is a dynammc force. A noted psychologist has said ¥that the fundamental religious point is that in prayer spiritual energy which otherwise would slumber doecs become active, and spiritual work of some kind is effected really.” Prayer not only makes men and women better, but it endows them with more power of achievement and influence to mold the social order. ‘While Jesus dealt with men in a spiritual manner vet science has con- firmed Him in seeking to regenerate the man firs. as a solution of the personal and public health problem and nearly every other problem. that man is facing at this very moment of crisis in the world’s history. Jesus did not deal with the men of His time concerning the scientific prevention and cure of dis- ease, for His age was not a scientific one. He gave teachings and precepts that fostered and developed among His followers philanthropists whose gifts have aided modern medicine, establish- ed_ hospitals, founded laboratories of research, built up clinics and developed surgery. Christ’'s method was first corrective. He did not treat every case alike.. He adapted his treatment to the needs of the suffering one. The leper, shut out from human fellowship, He touched. Jairus daughter, lying prostrate with fever, He took by the hand and with a spoken command healed her. The | servant of the Roman officer, whose faith surpassed any Christ had found among His own countrymen, He! healed by absent treatment. He spoke with a more commanding voice to the demonisc than the one within who had controlled the poor demoniac, un- til_Christ freed him from his satanic influence and power. When one had Suffered- because of sin Jesus pointed | that fact out. and warned them against sinning any more. His called for a surrendered life of obedience to the will of God was so that all might enjoy the vitalizing energy and limit less power of God to heal them of all their disease. Paul followed Jesus in recognizing the unit of relation that exists be- tween a man’s soul and his body. when | he summoned men to glorify God in their -bodles. Man is a personal, a spiritual soul, who occupies a body, which is the agent of his soul or spirit. "As such_he “should keep it clean, because of his relation to God.

The social duty of public health is one. of the by- product contributions of Christian teaching to the social welfare of hu- manity. Yellow fever, typhoid. ty- hus, smallpox have been, and finally leperousy appears to be conquered. The contagious diseases are recog- nized today, and gradually by quar- antine they are being eliminated. Everything that is anti-social is anti- Christian.
