tion and which cannot he satisfactorily

tion. Disputes ns to the interpretation

mendations which are deemed Just and

piles with recommendations of the re-

nants under articles twelve, thirteen,
or fifteen. It shall, Ipso fncto, he deem-
ed to have committed an act of war

league, which hereby undertake Imme-
diately to subject It to the severance

membership In the league for the pur-
poses of such dispute, upon such con-
ditions ns the council mny deem Just.
If such Invitation is accepted, the pro-
visions of articles twelve to stxteen
Inclusive shall be npplied with such
modifications as may be deemed nec-
essary by the council.
If a state so Invited shall refuse to
accept the obligations of membership
in the league for the purposes of such
dispute, and shall resort to war
against a member of the league, the
provisions of article sixteen shall be
applicable ns against the state taking
such action.
If both parties to the dispute, when
so Invited, refuse to accept the obliga-
tions of membership In the league for
the purposes of such dispute, the coun-
cil may take such measures and make
such recommendations as will prevent
hostilities nnd will result in the set-
tlement of the dispute.
ARTICLE EIGHTEEN.

[Entirely new.]
ARTICLE TWENTY-TWO.
To those colonies and territories
which, as a consequence of the late
war. have ceased to be under the sov-
ereignty of the stntes which formerly
governed them and which are Inhab-
ited by peoples not yet able to stand
by themselves under the strenuous
conditions of the modern world, there
should be npplied the principle thnt
the well-being nnd development ot
such peoples form a sacred trust ot
civilization and that securities for the
performance of this trust should be
embodied In this covenant.
The best method of giving practi-
cable effect to this principle Is that
the tutelage of such peoples he In-
trusted to advanced nations who, by
reason of their resources, their expe-
rience or their geographical position,
can best undertake this responsibility
and who are willing to accept It, and
that this tutelage should be exerelsed
by them as mandatories on behalf of
the league.
Certain communities formerly be-
longing to the Turkish empire have
reached a stage of development where
their existence, as Independent na-
tions, can be provisionally recognized
subject to the rendering of adminis-
trative advice and asslatmne* •
mandatory until such time as they are
able to stand alone. The wishes of
these communities mast be a princi-
pal consideration In the selection of
the mandatory peoples, especially those
of central Africa, who are at such a
stage that the mandatory must be re-
sponsible for the administration of
the territory under conditions which
will guarantee freedom of conscience
or religion subject only to the main-
tenance of public order and morals,
tbe prohibition of abuses, such as the
slave trade, the arms traffic, and the
liquor traffic nnd the prevention of
the establishment of fortifications or
military and naval bases and of mili-
tary training of the nations for other
than police purposes and the defense
of territory, and will also secure equal
opportunities for the trade and com-
merce of other members of the league.
A permanent commission shall be
constituted to receive and examine the
annual reports of the mandatories and
to advise the council on all matters
relating to observance of the man-
dates.
ARTICLE TWENTY-THREE.
Subject to nnd In accordance with
the provisions of international con-
ventions existing or hereafter to be
hgreed upon, members of the league
(u) will endeavor to secure and main-
tain fair and humane conditions of
labor for men, women, and children,
both in their own countries and In all
countries to which their commercial
and Industrial relations extend, and for
that purpose will establish and main-
tain the necessary international or-
ganizations.
(b) Undertake to secure Just treat-
ment of the native Inhabitants of ter-
ritories under their control.
(c) Will Intrust the league with the
general supervision over the execu-
tion of agreements with regard to the
traffic in women and children and the
traffic In opium and other dangerous
drugs.
(d) Will Instruct the lengue with the
general supervision of the trade in
arms and ammunition with the coun-
tries In which the control of this traffic
Is necessary In the common interest.
(e) Will make provision to secure
and maintain freedom of communica-
tion aud of transit and equitable treat-
ment for the commerce of all mem-
bers of the league. In this connection
the special necessities of the regions
devasted during the war of 1914-1918
shall be In mind.
(f) Will endeavor to take steps In
matters of international concern for
the prevention and control of disease.
[This replaces the original article
XX, and embodies parts of the original
articles XVIII and XXI. It eliminates
a specific provision formerly made for
a bureau of labor and adds the clauses
(b) and (e).]
ARTICLE TWENTY-FOUR.
There shall be placed under the di-
rection of the league all Internationa!
bureaus already established by general
treaties If the parties to such treaties
consent. All such International bu-
reaus and all commissions for the reg-
ulation of matters of International In-
terest hereafter constituted shall be
placed under the direction of the
league.
The council may Include as part of
the expenses of the secretariat the ex-
penses of any bureau or commission
which Is placed under the direction of
the league.
ARTICLE TWENTY-FIVE.
The members of the league agree to
encourage and promote the establish-
ment nnd co-operation of duly au-
thorized voluntary national Red Cross
organizations huvlng as purposes Im-
provement of health, the prevention
of disease, and mitigation of suffering
throughout the world.
ARTICLE TWENTY-SIX.
Amendments to this covenant will
take effect when ratified by the mem-
bers of the league whose representa-
tives compose the council and by a
majority of the members of the league
whose representatives compose the as-
sembly.
Such amendment shall (the word not
apparently omitted In cable transmis-
sion) bind any member of the league
which signifies Its dissent therefrom,
but'in thnt case It shall cease to be a
member of the league.
[Same as original, except majority
of league, Instead of three-fourths, Is
required for ratification of amend-
ments, with last sentence added.]

An outlook upon the world prove*
that man Is not what lie should be.
Then, too, apart from gospel influence
there Is no sign of Improvement. The
only way of accounting for the discrep-
ancy between what man Is and what
he should be Is by the Fall. This Is
the way that the Bible accounts for 1L
The Introduction of sin Is the answer.
I. The Temptation (Gen 3:1-6).
Man possessed a free will, In the ex-
ercise of which he turned away from
God and his commnndment. This was
done at the Instance of the devil
working through the serpent. He did
not appear as he really was, hut In dis-
pose. The method employed was (I)
finding the woman while alone; (2) In-
sinuating doubt Into her mind as to
God's word and love. At his sugges-
tion she began to believe that God did
not mean what he said, and that he
was unkind In placing restrictions upon
them. In this the devil slandered God,
even accusing the Almighty of Jeal-
ousy and fraud. (3) Appeal to Inno-
cent appetite. (4) She gazed upon
the fruit which God had forbidden.
Looking soon begat lust. (5) She
lusted after thnt which God had for-
bidden. That which God has forbid-
den should not be looked at lest the
flesh should lust for 1L
II. The Fall (3:6-8).
From lusting to Indulgence was a
short step. This act of disobedience
has brought on all the world's woe and
misery. Eve not only disobeyed, but
Involved Adam In her sin. Aspiring
to be gods, they became the slaves of
sin. They came to know good and evil,
but by sad experience. They knew sin
without the power to free themselves
from It. ^
III. The Consequences of the Fall
(3:9-24).
1. The disturbed relationship with
God (vv. 9. 10). The familiar Inter-
course which man enjoyed with the Al-
mighty was marred and broken by
sin. Sin makes life intolerable In tha
divine presence. Adam and Eve not
only hid front God’s presence, but
Adam begnn to make excuses and even
laid the blame on God.
2. The serpent was degraded and
henceforth became a type of sin nnd
Satnn (v. 14; cf. Num. 21:9; John
3:14; Rev. 12:9). This doom was pro-
nounced without trial. In the case of
man it was not so.
3. The undying enmity between the
two seeds (v. 15; cf. John 8:40-45;
Matt. 23:33). The antagonism thus
begun reached its climax In the cruci-
fixion of Christ. Satan’s seed has been
ever since endeavoring to destroy the
Lord’s work and his workers.
4. The ultimate victory of the wom-
an’s seed (v. 15). Satnn harassed the
woman's seed; bruised his heel, but
finally the stroke was made which
crushed the serpent’s head (John 12:
31; Heb. 2:14; 1 John 3 :8). This was
the first gleam of the glorious light of
the gospel of Christ. The victory was
marvelous, hut the cost was Infinite
(Isa. 53; 2 Cor. 5:21).
5. Judgment upon the woman (v.
16). This relates to her ns n wife and
mother; nlso to her subordination to
man. This Is God’s decree, and all ef-
forts of freeing one’s self from it
are fightings njfkinst God.
6. Man's new relationship to the
earth (vv. 17-lfr). The earth was
cursed on his account. Because of the
rank growth of thorns and thistles
man must make ab Increased effort to
exist. Man with hiB sinful nature would
be In a bad state without the neces-
sity of toil (Rom. 8:19-22).
7. Death (v. 19). This includes
physical and spiritual death—both the
result of sin.
8. Expulsion from the garden (v.
24). This was an act of great mercy.
To have partaken of the tree of life
and live forever In a sinful state would
have been intolerable.
EUROPE NEEDS MUCH FOOD
All the Surplus This Country Can Ex-
port Will Be Eagerly Absorbed,
i Saya Hoover.
Parts. April 27.—In the
year from August, 1918, to
the supreme economic council said.
Shipping conditions are not satis-
factory on account of strikes In many
countries, and as a result there Is no
question that the entire American
surplus will be absorbed.
"We are at the worst phase of the
European famine that was Inevitable
after the world war,” Mr. Hoover
harvest
August.
1919, Europe must Import 29,000,000 I said,
tons of foodstuffs from overseas, and | The economic food council is on top
to meet this there Is available a total In the fight against famine, nnd food
of about 35.000.000 tons. Herbert Hoo- distribution Is organized to supply the
of the food section of i affected areas In Europe outside o^
jrer. chairman
Russia. Mr. Hoover declared. The
American relief administration has or-
ganized the systematic feeding of the
undernourished children, numbering
between 500,000 and 1,000.000.
The United States will supply to
Europe foodstuffs valued roughly at
82.500.000,000. Enemy countries and
neutrals will pay cash for what they
receive.
The relief authorities are doing
their best to control the effect of the
large demand# on the American mar-
ket. Mr. Hoover said that a state-
ment by him on the possible price ot
wheat had been misinterpreted. He
had said that In view of the demands
of the world for food, the removal of
price control with regard to wheat,
sugar, pork products and cottonseed
products would be dangerous to the
American consumer. The control of
the pork was removed, and, Mr. Hoo-
ver said, had proved to be a disad-
vantage to the consumer.
Mr. Hoover said he wished to em-
phasize that the control of the price
of wtieat would be maintained to the
full extent of existing authority and
that tbe American cpnsumer need not
be nlarmed that there will be a mate-
rial rise In the price of that food es-
sential. America could sell more
wheat than she has, but the exports
are belns regulated to reserve a suffi-
ciency for domestic needs.
The American army stocks of pork
products In France, more than 80,000,-
000 pounds, had been purchased by
the relief council and should furnish
a sufficient supply of fats until har-
vest for liberated countries.
Exercise la Necessary.
If a man does not exercise hts arm
he develops no biceps muscle; and if
a man does not exercise his soul he
acquires no muscle In his soul, no
strength of character, no vigor of
moral fiber, no beauty of spiritual
growth.—Henry Drummond.

By the time they get through with
their preludes and interludes and de-
ludes there won’t be much time for
a sermon.
