SCORED ONE ON HIS RIVAL
Brown Had Overlooked Leap Year,
and Jones Was Quick to Mark
the Point.
Irving Fletcher, tho wcll'known ad
vertising .expert, said at an advertis
ing men's dinner at Delmonlco's In
New York:
"A good advertisement never lies.
It never deceives. For it can only
pay by making life patrons, not tran
sient ones. '
"A good advertisement never lies,
but it states its case as strongly as
possible, and it avails itself of every
point, however slight. There it is
like young Jones.
"Young Jones proposed at lake
wood to a pretty girl, but sho said un
certainly, swinging iter slim foot in
and out of her slashed skirt:
" 'I like you, Mr. Jones. But, then,
I like Mr. Brown, too And Mr. Brown
is so devoted. Ho says he thinks
of me SC5 days in the year.'
"'Huh!' snorted young Jones, con
temptuously, 'lie wants a day off
every four years, does he? Well, I
hope you're not taken in by any such
one-horse devotion as that.' "
Her Explanation.
"Uncle Hank" Barnhart, member of
congress from Indiana, tells of a
young man from out his way who met
a young woman he had not seen for
many years.
"I though you were dead," was the
young man's greeting.
"No," insisted tho girl, "but I'm
married."
"To whom?"
"Oh, some Englishman."

It is not strango
that men aro
doubters. Sin baa
so blinded our
moral vision that
wo do not sec tho
truth as it is. but
in a distorted
fashion which
makes it iqss at
tractive. "The nat
ural in a n rc
celvelh not tho
things of tho
Spirit of Clod: for
they nre foolish
ness unto him;
nelthor can ha
know them because they are spiritual
ly discerned." U Cor. 2:14).
Furthermore, tho truth as it Is in
.Testis carries with it condemnation
for tho sinner, and no one enjoys re
proof or rebuko. As the lawyer, will
ing to Justify himself, said: "Who is
my neighbor?" so the natural heart
questions tho authority of the Uibli,
and even the existence of God. rather
than confess its sin. Add to this tho
fact that the devil who ilrst Injected
doubt into the mind of man, and who
Is rightly called by our Savior tho
father of Jies, is ever seeking to preju
dice the creature against the Creator,
and It Is not strange that ull thinking
people pass through a period of doubt
as to tho fundamentals of religion,
and some are so completely blinded
that they never come out of their
spiritual dnrkness.
In dealing with doubters It is im
portant to ascertain their real posi
tion. Some skeptics are mero trillers
who are too indolent to grapplo with
the truth In a resolute way, and so
find It easier to doubt and drift with
tho current of their natural inclina
tions. Others uso their skepticism as
a cover for an ungodly life. You van
say to such when they question the
inspiration of the Bible that one proof
of its divine origin Is the fact that it
describes their condition so complete
ly, nnd tells how they came into that
condition.
Remind them that to doubt the
Bible does not alter tho facts which it
reveals, but It does subject them to
the charge of making GotKa liar (I
John 5:10), and it puts theni under
condemnation. "He that belleveth not
Is condemned already, because he hath
not believed In the name of the only
begotten son of God. And this Is tho
condemnation, that light is come into
tho world, and men loved darkness
rather than light, because their deeds
were evil" (John 3:18, 19).
It is said that a vessel once sighted
an enemy jnst at sundown, nnd kept
up a cannonade until the darkness
put a stop to it. When the sun nroso
tho nest morning, they were cha
grined to find that tho supposed enemy
was nn immense rock, which still re
mained Intact after many hours of
bombarding. So In all ages men have
been demolishing tho Bible ns tho
enemy of the human race, but tho old
Book still stands, silent, but solid as
the Rock of Ages.. Tor trilling skep
tics John 8:21, 24 Is very good as
showing the consequences of unbelief,
while John 5:40 discloses the origin
of their skepticism. "Vo will not
como to mo that ye might have life."
There is another class of doubters
who aro really desirous of knowing
the truth. As some ono has ex
pressed It, "IIo wishes thoro was a
God to whom ho could come as a
child to his father, but ho does not
know whether there Is or not. and he
wants to know. IIo wishes he were
an immortal spirit; but he Is not posi
tive that he Is anything more than
nn animated machlno, and he seeks
for evidence, lie would be glad to
believe xhat this unknown God has
provided for this unknown soul some
way by which It could know both Its
father and Itself. Ho does not dis
believe In God or Christ, hut ho does
not know, and ho wnnts to know "
For such peoplo there are two paths
to the light, the intellectual nnd the
moral Tho first begins with tho
known and argues its way to the un
known. Tho creation proves a crea
tor. Intelligent and moral beings
Imply a creator capable of producing
Biich. Tho scientific method results
only in a high degree of probability,
It Is true, but then we act every day
on Just such probabilities, -and we
ought to act upon them in religion.
Tho othor method starts with tho
distinction between right nnd wrong
which wo all know, nnd which no
moral man enn doubt. Into this world
has como Jesus of Nazareth. He
meets our ideals, ho commends him
self to our consciousness, ho com
mands our will If wo take his life
nnd follow it, his teachings nnd obey
them, wo will soon find our way into
tho light. "I nm tho light of tho
world: ho that followeth me shall not
walk In darkness, but shall have the
light of llfo" (John 8:12) If nny man
will do his will, he shall know of
the doctrine, whether It bo of God,
or whether I speak of myself (John

Improved Highways Increase Attend
ance at Rural Schools States Ma
king Greatest Progress.
While It Is true thnt various factors
contribute to increase or decrease the
attendance at schools In given sections
of the country, it is worthy of com
ment thnt In tho stntes having a high
percentage of Improved roads a much
larger percentage of tho students em
rolled regularly attend the schools,
than in the states having a small per.
centago or improve! roads. In flvo
eastern and western states, which
havo a largo mileage of Improved
roads, tho average attendance of en
rolled pupils in 190S-9 was 80 per cent,
while In four southern states and one
northwestern stato, which aro noted
for bad road3, tho average attendance
for the samo year was 01 per cent--80
per cent In tho good roads states
as against 64 por cent in tho bad
roads states. In tho states llrst named
85 per cent of tho roads havo been
A Good Road In New England.
Improved, while In tho lntter group of
btatcs there are only ll per cent of
tho roads improved.
That improved roads would benefit
our country school system there would
seem to bo no doubt. Improved roads
make it possible to consolidate or cen
tralizo tho Bchools and to establish
graded schools in the rural districts.
Such schools centrally located will ac
commodate all of the children within a
radius of from fou- to five miles. Iu
many communities having tho advan
tage of improved roads commodious
buildings havo been provided, moro
competent teachers havo been em
ployed, und modern facilities for teach
ing have been supplied at a minimum
cost. For instance, since tho improve
ment of tho main highways in Durham
county, North Carolina, the number of
school houses has been reduced from
05 to 42, of which 17 aro graded and
have two or more rooms and employ
two or moro teachers.
There aro at tho present time about
two thousand consolidated rural
schools in tho United States. It np
pears that Massachusetts, Ohio and
Indiana have made the greatest prog
ress along these lines, and it Is rather
significant to note that in these states
aboui one-third of the roads havo been
improved. According to statistics of
Uio agricultural department ther.. was
expended In 1S99, $22,110 in Massachu
setts for the conveyance of pupils to
consolidated schools, but in 1008 the
expenditure for this purpose amounted
to $292,213. In Indiana the expendi
ture for this purpose In 1901 amounted
to $80,000, while in 1908. $290,000 was
expended. This expenditure for trans
portation reflects, in a general way,
tho extent and progress of this new
educational movement It must not be
understood that this is nn additional
burden, as the expenditure thus made
Is saved In othor directions.
BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROAD
Among Many Other Things It Attracts
Investors Looking for Advan
tageous Locations.
A long stretch of improved roatl Is
ono of tho best advertisements a state
ran hno. It attracts ii class of tour
ists who are ablo and willing to pay
for entertainment, it brings Investors
who aro looking for advantageous lo
cations. It includos agricultural inves
tigation and consequent immigration
and investment, not only along tho lino
of tho roatl. but in other accessible
sections. It changes, by the sheer
forco of publicity, backward localities
Into progressive ones, enhances val
ues, and brings Into general notlco re
sources which had only been know
locally; or, If known, not appreciate!.
Tho advantages which such stretches
of main mads causo to accrue are ad
vantages which affect the entire state,
ns well as tho localities themselves
It Bhould, therefore, bo assumed as a
principle that such main roads should
be built, in whole or In part, by the
Btate; that their management nnd
maintenance should bo in the haudi
tif the statu authorities.
