She had been encouraged by the success that tame to some of the girls who had graduated from Reynolds college in war days. But the men were back from the war and wartime stress of business was over. The situation became apparent to Jane Burchard when, a week after her graduation from Reynolds, she discovered the best job that she could find through the aid of agencies and newspaper want advertisements was that of a learner in a ciir.dy factory at $12 a week or a job selling ribbons in a department store - at $15. So Jam. decided to teach. But she knew her friends and classmates would not forget - the derisive remarks she hud jxpiessed anent the teaching profession. I kr,pw why you dont want to teach, her young brother had exYou think teachers never plained. meet ai.y men, get to be old maids and never i .tarry. Youre afraid you won't get a husband " Jane Burchard was annoyed. little use I have for men, Pre-Clou- s' she And Just to show you, Im snapped. to start in teaching next, going ' ' autumn." But Jane didn't want to face the inquiring faces of her friends after she lud begun her career as a teacher so she chose to select from the positions offered to her that of teacher In a district school in a remote end of the state. It helped a little to feel that she was filling a job that no one else wanted. A special appeal had been made for teachers for these remote districts where several schools had actually been closed down because no one could be induced to take the positions. Moreover she wanted to show that Impudent brother of hers that men didnt count in her career. Human beings of all descriptions were Scarce in the rocky region around Berwick district school, but men young men were singularly unfrequent. Yqull be perfectly safe to live alone in the little cottage that goes with your job," the county superintendent of schools had told her. There isnt a man In the district, not even a tramp. Ob, theres the minister and the doctor and a dozen old farmers and oidi Stebbins that runs the store, but tlrey arent likely to annoy ; you. So Jane Burchard was installed as district school teacher in Berwick township, pleased in knowing that, though her salary was not large, she did not have to spend air of it for shelter and would be able to save more than with twice the salary in the city. For two or three months all went well. If was hot until after the Christinas holidays that Jane became disturbed in her little cottage near the school,-.- . One day Jane took pains to dismiss her pupils all on time and overlooked the fact that several of the older children had deserved to "stay in. Back in her cottage she donned heavy walking boots and neat, though certainly not very jaunty walking togs. N Then she started out In her search. As she walked through the country roads and lanes that afternoon she enumerated to herself the occupants of the various farmhouses and cottages she passed. She was looking for something, and It was quite apparent that none of the houses she passed contained it. So she walked in the region on the out- skirts of her district, where there was so occasional house with which she wat not familiar. . finally she drew up beside a small cot-tnhut recently renovated A man of uncertain age, but surely not aged, was sitting out in the cold winter sunshine on the front steps of his diminutive home. He was smoking in solitude. Apparently Jane had found what she had been seeking. Excuse me, stranger, she said, hut I wonder If you will help me. Im the district school teacher, and Ive been out looking for well, the d truth is, Ive been looking for an man. They are all rather old or feeble up by the 'school. 1 wonder if you would do me a service. The rather unkempt young man rose with an alacrity and good manner that ratler surprised Jane. "By all means Id do anything in the world you asked me. Well, Ill tell you," Jane said, a little embarrassed at the obvious urbanity of 'he younger man, I live alone in the collage. Lately some one has been to be a man, prowling around it seems and I hear him every - evening just about the time Im getting tea. and then as I sit by the table getting ready the next days lessons. I don't want any of the neighbors to know I'm timid. Besides. I am quite as well able to project myself as any of the men down there. Fancy old Doctor Warren or Parson JoneS; frying to stand up tramp. So Ive been against a man-sizelooking around trying to find a well, a regular man. I thought maybe you'd come down one or two evenings and when the prowler appears Joud go out with me and scare him off. I'm a little afraid to do It alone. John Dawson, the young thnn thus addressed. Insisted on coming that very htm-aetevening, and then he Introduced faith her good by June showed, asking hint to, return with her then. II would be nearly tea time when they - . two-roo- g. able-bodie- , . returned ana tne prowier usually came soon as tier lamps were lighted. Both Jane and John Dawson were ill at ease as the meal began, but before Jane had poured her guests second cup of tea and had persuaded him to take a second helping of the light omelet she had made for their repast all their embarrassment seemed to have vanished as if by magic. It is funny," Jane was thinking, when one hasn't seen or talked to a young man for months how easy conversation seems In come. And John was thinking, I thought Id feel embarrassed und shy when I first had a chance to look into the eyes and hear the voice of a young and pretty woman again but I was never less shy in my life. Meantime they forgot the object of John's visit. It was not until John said something about going home like a sure enough caller that Jane thought of it. I forgot all about the prowler, she laughed. He might have come and gone while we were talking. John laughed heartily and suggested that, they try4 the experiment again the next evening, only of course not for supper. And Jane said tea would have to be included as it was tea time that the prowler always came. So it was agreed and after John had gone down the road Jane reproached herself that, while she had told John Dawson all about her own work and her own anxieties, she had not succeeded in getting him to tell how It was that he was living out here on tiie inhospitable rocky soil of Berwick township. Next night they listened attentively for the prowler, but no sounds were heard. After a half hour of vigilance. Jane took up the subject In mind. The explanation was simple enough. After two years In France, Dawson explained simply, he had come back to this country, and then at the end of a few months effort to get his. grip back on the affairs of the business concern that had left a place open for him there came the collapse that made him and his doctor renUze that his wartime experience demanded a complete change and rest. It fitted in with his mood to go as far away from humankind as he conveniently could without taking a long and fatiguing journey. Hence his retirement to a cabin in Berwick township. When he had explained all this to Jane he rose to go. But we havent heard the prowler. He must have seen you come and been ' frightened away V Dawson John laughed. The prowler couldnt come when I am here because, Jane Burchard, I was that prowler. I didnt dream that you heard me or that I annoyed you. But as I was getting my grip back on things" I grew infernally lonely I wanted to see and talk to a woman. So I used to come around here and watch you when yon lighted the lamps. I knew youd forgive me if you knew how it helped just to get a glimpse of a human being when I wasnt quite sure I had my nerve back again." If Jane had shown resentment and. a lack of understanding, that might have been the end of it all. But Instead she put a hand out to John that showed an infinity' of comprehension. John Dawson took the hand In his and looked deep Into Jane's frank eyes. I can't keep It from you any longer, Jane, he said. Im ready to go back and buck up against' the world again and I want to take you with me. And when Jane came back to town at the end of the school term one of her old friends commented that she must have exaggerated things a litjtle. She said there weren't any men in Berwick, but she managed to find Delivered to Serve as d f. one. ' . . MUCH METAL IN HUMAN BODY Blood Contains Iron and Copper, and Scientists Have Found Arsenic in the Liver. Many curious substances are found in the human body, and it has been discovered that, among other things, It contains a large quantity of metals ol various kinds. Some years ' ago a famous chemist announced that he had found iodine in the thyroid gland, and this led scientists to believe that other equally unexpected elements may find their way into the human organs through some . exceptional circumstances. They discovered that there was iron and in some cases copper in the blood and that copper and other heavy metals occurred in considerable quantities in the liver. Some scientists have reported that they have found even arsenic in small quantities. Bromine Is found in the nerves and muscles of some animals, as well as men, but there is never more than one part in a hundred thousand. Although bromine and iodine are very similar In their chemical behavior, they are not found in the same parts of the body. Tit-Bit- s. How to See Radium Flashes.

TEXT That we, being delivered out of the hands of our enemies, might serve Him without fear. Luke 1:74. Something more than political liberty was In the mind of the man who uttered these words. He was of a thinking promise, eon-flrm- an oatb, made to bis ancestors long before, a promise having personal and spiritual application as well as a national and political aspect . Y P vm The human has many spiritual enemies that soul UGO STINNES, Financial Kaiser I Germany appears to have exchanged a political and military kaiser for a financial and industrial kaiser. The Hotel Adlon on the famous Enter den Linden Is literally the new Imperial Palace hi Berlin.. On the third floor is the Stinnes suite and here sits the man who gives orders to Germany and to other countries. A glimpse of the corridors is sufficient to suggest the extent of Stinnes' epersMnoA Here, day after day, a crowd of business men wait patiently to be summoned to the presence and be given their orders. Each has a portfolio. Each has come, from far or near, to report. They are the directors and executives of the many and enterprises owned antr controlled by Germanys new financial and industrial dictator.. The list is endless newspaper editors, bank presidents, coal miners, shipping officials, politicians, statesmen and what not. When Stinnes appears in the corridor It s to rush through; he Is always In a hurry'; those with him are put to it to keep up. He acknowledges no salutations. He brushes Interviewers and photographers aside. Awe falls upon all as he passes. That was Stinnes ! they say, after he has Stinnes poses as a sphinx. But his power is very real. It seems literally true that the fall of the house of brought about the rise of the House of Stinnes. Under clouk of the new republic Stinnes hides a sovereignty that is not the less absolute because financial and Industrial instead of political and military. Those who protest against Stinnes power in Germany also declare that he Is working toward a consolidated Central Europe to be created through economic domination Instead of military means. His general plan Is said to be first to secure economic resources and' the newspapers in the various countries bordering on Germany. A chorus of protest Is heard from the press of Central Europe. Control of newspnpers, not only in Germany but also in Austria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, makes Stinnes a newspaper king, says this press, which charges thnt he is now negotiating with the owners of scores of n publications all through Central Europe. For instance, the Kassai-Hirla- p of Koscla, says he began by gaining control of the Deutsche Allgemolne Zeitung, after which he formed a kind of amalgamation of the following Berlin publications: Die Post, Deutsche Tageszeitung, Deutsche Zeitung nnci the Taglische Rundschau. This newspaper then continues: He bought the German news agency, known ns the Telegrafenunion, and then one newspaper after the other in large provincial towns came under the control of the greatest financial juggler Germnny ever produced. He bought the Munchen Augsburger and threescore of other smaller and larger newspapers, and in order to be able to feed them with news, he purchased the Rnminert telegraph agency, supplying news Items to 400 other thnn Stinnes concerns. Several paper and pulp factories were secured in consequence of the newspaper purchases, among these being k the paper mills. Another Czechoslovak newspaper. The Nep, advises its readers that Mr. Stinnes has got the controlling interest In the most popular morning und well-know- g, Henckell-Donuersmarc- evening publications of Budapest, including Az Est, the Pesti Naplo, and the Magyarorszag. Furthermore it states that there are but few newspapers of any consequence in the Hungarian capital which are not owned by Stinnes. The explanation given of his wholesale buying of newspapers is that Stinnes Intends to realize the dreams of Profesor Naumann, who visioned a consolidated Central Europe, Including Poland and Belgium; which should be created by military means. But Stinnes, tt is said, aims to reach the same goal through economic domination. His purpose Is to secure first economic resources and then press organs In the various countries bordering on Germnny, in order that he may spread German political Influence. As far as industrial possessions are concerned. It Is asserted that he Is well along his way. He left tlie Iiamburg-Amerlcafine, where he was one of the directors, and took a directorship In the Norddeutscher Lloyd, of which be Is the principal He owns the majority stockholder. of the Air Route lines In Germany and Scandinavia, and he is now engaged in establishing others In Austria. Danube navigation in Germany and Austria, as well as In Hungary and Roumunia, Is In his hands. He Is Interested financially In the Austrian Daimler factory and the famous .Skoda works, and he .owns the Elbemuhl paper mills. Finally, with these mills, the Elbemuhl newspapers, as well as the Vienna Allegemeine Zeitung and the Der Neue Tag, two dally papers, came into his possession. These are but a very small part of the assets Stinnes Is In control of. says rhe Kassai Hirlnp. nml just because of his extensive interests in almost eery part of Europe, the dominating Influence of bis newspapers In foreign countries Is the more dangerous. To allow a string of newspapers to be controlled and directed politically by foreign Interests is Just as dangerous as to allow political legislators to come under the dictation of foreigners. Stinnes was bora at Mulhelra, In the Rhineland, in 1870. The report that he Is a Jew is not true. He inherited coal mines. Today he controls 60 mines. Berlin bankers estimate that he Is the richest Individual In Germany. The hand ef Stinnes, It is charged, demolished the Industries of northern France. The coal mines were particular objects of destruction. AH told, 220 mining operations were rendered useless. They were flooded, dynamited. filled with waste materials or set on fire. Their rehabilitation has been especially difficult and slow. The French estimate that these mines canr not be brought up to production before 1930.- - In other Important Industries of the invaded district the degree of destruction ranged from 60 to 100 per cent. For example, the n - pre-wa- -- IVere is exhibited In the British museum a large stone, composed of .arbonate of lime, which has served as a natural timekeeper. This stone s, indeed, an actual time record for the work done for a long period In an English coal mine. The stone was Destroyed the Destroyers. removed from a colliery drain.

The Bible names seven of these: the guilt of sin, which brings condemnation ; the dominion of sin, which brings despair; the thralldcm of the world, which promises satisfaction and never gives it; the. voice of the law which requires righteousness and prohibits unrighteousness ; tne powers bf darkness, subtle and blinding; the fear of death, with its separating power nnd the wrath to come as the result of sin. These create an unholy fljar from which there is no human escape. JuBt as enemies around a fort cause uncertainty and concern unless the fort is held by an Invincible force, so does sin produce misgiving and fear. There Is no force in the human heart superior to the assaults of sin and Satan. Therefore, there Is no human escape from this unholy fear. Neither the boldness of ignorance, nor the boastfulness of presumption, nor the game of bluff will avail here. In the last analysis a man Is wbat be is before God, which In common speech means that he is a sinner by nature and prac tlw. He that committeth sin Is the bond servant of sin. The first need of all such Is deliverance. The deliverance provided billy meets the need of the case. Over against sin, In all Its aspects, the Vorld with all Us glitter; the law with its claims nnd requirements; the powers of darkness with their subtle delusions; the fear of death and the wrath to come," one can, if he so wills, write the words of I Thes., 1:10, Jesus .which delivered us; or Gal. 1:4. He gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from tills present evil world"; or Rom. 7 :6, We are delivered from the law, or I Cor. 15:56-57- , The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin Is'the law, but thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Here is a great deliverance adequate In every respect, making provision for the guilt of the past, meeting the need of the present and Inspiring a glorious hope for the delivered' out of future. Thus-bein- g the hand of our enemies we should serve Him without fear." The best service that can be offered to God prior to our spiritual and experimental deliverance through Christ Is characterized In Scripture as dead These dead works are the works. result of the effort to atone for sin. They are the sum total of an attempt to do the best we can with the hope and purpose of making amends for the evil that is In heart and life. Instinctively the human spirit senses the holiness of God and Its own unholiness. Conscience reaffirms what Scriptures assert, namely, "that your Iniquities have separated between you and your Goa-.Then the question arises, What must I do to bd saved? Every answer to this question, with the exception of one, has been false and misDo some Reason says: leading. Gods revelation thing, work, serve. speaks, not of something to do but of something done by another, not of human works but of Christs finished work, not of service as a way of deliverance but deliverance as a way of service. It points to Calvary as a place of pardon, of peace and of power. Being delivered by the mighty work of Christ In death and resurrection, we can serve without fear. The service of a delivered soul Is I gave thee thy a glad, free service. liberty, says Christ, and the heart reMaster, I will serve Thee forplies : Like Saul of Tarsus, who ever. when converted, signed himself, Paul, the bondslave of Jesus Christ,, so does the truly-saveperson bring to his Lord, not .only his sins but his life.
