Intolerance
By REV. J. H. RALSTON, D. C.
TEXT—It ye do so again. I will lay
andu tn you.—Nehemluh 18:21.
I lie question of Intolerance In the
Lord's service Is one of great Interest,
especially at
time when toler-
ance sweeps the
world. The bulk
of humunity seems
to be orgunlzed
Into a society for
total toleration.
Probably In no
sphere of thought
Is the question of
Intolerance to be
so seriously con-
sidered as In that
of Christian doc-
trine. Intolerance
is illustrated lu
the conduct of Daniel and the Hebrew
children in Babylon as related In the
Old Testament. Our Lord Himself

crated His Father's house us money
changers. The form His Intolerance
took was that eft'laying bands on those
who offended. We may note, too, that
the apostle Paul in Ids letter to the
Galatians suid that he di I not give
place, not for an hour, to the fulse
brethren who were teaching errone-
ously. When he met Peter at Antioch
he withstood him to the face, for he
w'us to he blamed.
-Martin Luther came to the place
where he found that any further tol-
erance of religious error was not pos-
sible. and he left us Protestantism, the
most precious heritage of our age.
The intolerant character of the P**rl-
tans of England drove them by way
of Holland to America to found the

was Goldie that Sandy rode under

ABUSE OF BRAKE
WEARS OUT AUTO
Good Driver Gauges His Speed
in Heavy Traffic and Uses
Horn Intelligently.
RECESS IN FENCE IS
CONVENIENT FOR CAR
It Is a well known fact, frequently
commented on, that the American cur
owner drives too much with his brakes.
Every time you hear a traffic officer’s
whistle in a large city, you hear at the
6nme time a shrieking of brakes and a
scraping of tires on the dry pavement,
writes II. W. Henry In the Clevelund
I’laln Dealer.
Let it he said to the credit of the cor
manufacturers that the brakes ore ac-
tually built so mechanically sound that.
In spite of the abuse to which they are
subjected, they stund up under the
strain.
Fast driving between short city
blocks, followed hy n sudden Jamming
on of the brakes, is expensive, both in
the wear and tear on the tires, the
burning out of the brake lining nnd
damage to the brakes and other me-
chanical parts of the car.
Brakes Have Important Purpose.
There Is no question at all that
brakes are extremely important for the
purpose for which they were built, but
simply because they are efficient and
reliable Is little reason for their abuse
—nbuse which results in damage to
other parts of the car’s mechanism.
The relation between the use of the
horn nnd tliA use of the brakes is sim-
ply this—greater use of the horn would
make less use and abuse of the brakes.
In other words, sound your horn uhd
keep going.
The better the driver, the less he
touches his brakes. Note nny day how
a particularly good driver goes through
the congested districts of a large city.
He gauges every traffic stop ahead—
ond slows down or speeds accordingly.
Frequently In driving outside the
business center of the city. It Is a case
of Jamming on the brakes or sounding
the horn. Sounding the horn a half
Mock before reaching an Intersecting
street will eliminate the necessity of
Jamming on the brakes, coming to a
dead halt nnd then speeding on again.
Usefulness of Horn.
Too often an automobile driver
sounds his horn when nearly on top of
pedestrians, and then it is almost
