He had no doubt in his mrind that he was ac- tually above the secret room. and, on tip-toe, he stole round looking for! scme s=pot from which hie could get a glimpse below. At the fir spection he thought his time had b wasted: every pane of glass was frosted. and in addition there seemed to be a thick blind of some sort drawn across from underneath. of the same type as is used by photographers altering the light A sudden rattle close to him made him start violently, only to curse him- self for 2 nervous ass the next mo- ment, and lean forward eagerly.

Beside him on a table was a big ledger. and every now and then he would turn over a few pages and make an entry. But it was not Peterson on whom the watcher above was concentrating his attention: it was Lakington—and the thing beside him on the sofa Lakington was bending over a long bath full of some light-brown liquid from which a faint vapor was rising. He was in his shirt sleeves, and on his hands he wore what locked like rubber gloves, stretching right up to his elbows. After a while he dipped a test tube into the liquid. and going over to a shelf he selected a bottle and added a few drops to the contents of the tube. Apparently satisfied with the result, he returned to the bath shook in some white powder. Im- mediately the liquid commenced to froth and bubble, and at the same moment Peterson stood up. “Are you ready?" he said, taking off his coat and picking up a pair of Eloves similar to those the other was answered Lakington, “We'll get him in.” approached the sofa: Hugh. with a kind of fascinated hor- yor, forced himself to look.

Then. as if it was the most mormal thing in the world. they peeled off their long gloves and stood watching.

He leaned back in hix chair and blew out a cloud of smoke. The light shone on the calm, impassive face: and with a feeling of wonder that was never far absent from his mind when he was with Peterson., Hugh noted the high, clever forehead. the firmly molded nose and chin. the sensitive, humorous mouth.

Poverty and wealth divide society by manifold inequalities into hostile camps. Civilization is threatened by the discord, division and discontent | of these two forces at this moment in every land that faces the prob- lems of reconstruction. Its serious- ness is seen in the crowded, con- gested centers of population more than in the country, where poverty is seldom found as it is in the cities. In nearly every great city within five minutes' walk from where many of the world's wealthy citizens live | multitudes can be found whose life | is a prolonged battle for bread and helter. In one form or other it has, existed throughout the centuries. Principles of the law given to the Jewish people by Moses for the pro- tection of the poor, provided for the prevention of the evils of wealth and the lief of the poverty- stricken peasant. The land belonged to Jehovah. the God of the nation. Its land laws by various provisions “sought to prevent the growth of great estates and a landed aristoc- racy on the one side and the growth of a landless proletariat on the other sid.

In- terest was forbidden to be charged to Israelites. The year of jubilee provided for a redistribution of the land and wealth. The slave was | given his freedom: the peasant re- stored to the ancestral acres. The influence of these ws upon the He- brew race is seen throughout their history as a people. They have al- ways recognized a peculiar responsi- bility for the weaker members of their race and nation. Probably no other element in a community's life excels the Jews today in thoroughness and munificence their organized charity work. Isaiah, who ranks as the greatest @xp! fori liev is o sa Chr pri teri fare the Hebrew people, was one of the nation's most eminent statesmen. He was deeply concerned, as every serv- ant of God ought to be, with all the vital interests of his countrymen. He gave himself unceasingly during 'his lifetime to heroic endeavors to save the nation from peril and disaster, which threatened Israel because of their apostacy and failure to trusf in Jehovah. The.land question, which is presented in the lesson, is a case in point. He recognized that it had not merely a_ political lesson, but a fron el Land, with its power to increase the seed, belonged to Jehovah. who gave it to_the nation to be used for the benefit of humanity. A few had se cured the control of the natural re- sources of the nation and had turn- ed the land into personal use for their profit and pleasure. Micah has told us how the greedy monopolist secured control by means of “the most cruel evictions and disinheritance He saw the religious significance in the social problem presented by the action of the luxurious land- owners grasping monopolistic policy. He warned the wealthy avaricious land owners that their greed would prove a curse and not a blessing.

Ten acres would only produce one bath, or ephah, which is about eight gallons, yet under or- dinary conditions ten acres ought to have yielded 500 baths. A. homer, which is about ten times the size of a bath, or ¢phah, would only yield an_ephah. ‘Amos introduced a new era ofl phophecy. When he answered God's | call to enter the public prophet, the shepherd aroused the nation by insisting upon right and justice. He warned men of the peril that they faced for op- | pressing the poor and the helpless. | He traced the poverty of the hour to| the avaricious profiteers, who regard- | ed nothing as holy that interfered With their making wealth.

American Prisoners in Moscow Served by Couriers. Americans held prisoner in Moscow by the soviet government are being fed through the efforts of the Ameri- can Red Cross. The food is being sent in through the various courier serv ces that have been inaugurated be- tween Baltic ports and Moscow by | Latvian and Esthonfan agencies. Col. Fdward W. Ryan of Scranton, commissioner notified na- | tional headauarters here that food has | been forwarded to the American cap- jtives in Moscow for several months, and that it is believed the greater part of it reaches the men and women to whom it is consigned. In certain in- stances receipts for this food have been recaived by Col. Ryan apparently bearing the signature of Capt. Km- mett Kilpatrick, former American Red Cross relief worker, who is said to be serving a twenty-year prison sentence imposed by the soviet authorities. From other sources also it is learned that Red Cross parcels seem to be reaching the addressees. In addition to food, clothing and other necessities have been forwarded to Moscow by the Red Cros you MNke the big canvas with broad effects; I like the miniature and the well drawn etching.” “Which makes us_a very happy combination,” said Peterson, rising MAJ.

The unfettered prophet fear- lessly condemned “thrusting the poor! free-man into slavery to collect a trifling debt and protested against the venality of the judges who took bribes and had a double standard of Jaw for the rich and the poor.” His messages to his countrymen stated principles that are applicable to the social problems of our age. The avaricious profiteer can depend upon it, that all from imen, that God will summon them to His judgment for Ho is a de- fender of the poor. He will surely punish those who for gain have sought to turn the day of worship into one of profit. Ruskin has pointed out how that in all cases Jesus {llustrates a man's falthfulness by the way he used his money. The roots of His teachings are found in the Old Testament. The text for His first sermon in Nazareth was selected from Isalah. The Mas- ter claimed that he had been an- nointed by the Holy Spirit “to preach the gospel to the poor.” Following the example of the prophets as a champion of the peopls, Jesus sought to convert the helpless, seclf-distrust- ing and consclously incapable through poverty into a courageous, consecrated power for the advancement of the kingdom. He was not antagonistie to men of wealth, although He taught the peril of riches in the development of spiritual power. He claimed that prosperity was not a special sign of God's favor. cal 1 fri Chi busch sent the rich men to hell W leging any crimes or vice be that a life given over to sump- | tuous 1 ence to the want and misery of | the doorstep seemed to Jesus a deep- | ly immoral and sinful Jife. man’s end and su to be- no double tate to ma turn their poss humanity. of the tian servic commerce. parable of the ¢ Local tled. of this rich ed than the ri of Lazaru poverty has " pe lain the ric ng. but it only by st could welcomed and ng with m the pe hypoci antage of the widow, im to obtain her home, in the synagogue, utte Vulgarity, tion. of happiness”—the make people unspiritual, unt unresponsive to the ants of Mammon, o; self-con: could not God.

That is just what Boxer and Woof- Woof did now. The instant they saw Buster they began to whimper and cry softly, and they kept it up as they ecrambled up the trunk of that tree.
