allowed unless the producer is so registered.
"It is apparently this tax exempting provision
which has been the principal source of confu
sion. It has seemingly been supposed that the
effect of the provision is to allow the produc
tion of 200 gallons of -intoxicating wine for use
in the home free from the restrictions imposed
by the national prohibition act. The pr6vision
has no such effect; It relates to taxation sole
ly and does not affect the restrictions imposed
by the national prohibition act.'.'
Concerning the activities of persons supplying

"It is a violation of this section to manufac

RUTH BRYAN OWEN
LSw111 B,ryan 0wori wero not the daughter
o William Jennings Bryan, she would still be
entitled to fame from achievement with her il
lustrious father.
The prejudice against the woman platformist
gradually abates. Opportunity more generally
afforded for public speaking in many depart
ments of modern life, coupled with the grad
ual breaking flown of medieval sex repression
of women in public affairs, accounts for it. No
woman who has appeared on the platform dur
ing my more than twenty years of work with it
has done more to influence our constituency in
favor of her sisters than has Ruth Bryan Owen.
She is truly a cosmopolitan, made so by her
life. As the wife of a British army officer she
has lived in many of the British dependencies,
including Egypt, India and Palestine. She has
lived in England, France and other European
countries and extensively traveled them. In the
role' of a British army nurse she participated in
the greatest tragedy of the war the Gallipoli
campaign, and later in the Palestine expedition. -She
has seen, experienced, endured and helped
more than most women if they should livo a
thousand years. Out of it all a great character
has been formed.
So sho has much to say to hor audioncus, and
she has an earnest desire to bo of service whore
sho speaks. Sho has personality, an unusual
voice, wit and humor and a commanding pres
ence. Sho is energy, enthusiasm, optimism, am
bition, radiant health united irt ono woman. If
you hear her you will become croatly interested
in. the motion picture sho has recently com
pleted at Miami, Florida. Tho setting is
Egyptian. Tho scenario, tho costumes, Lhe pro
duction entire wan made under her personal di
rection. New York distributors have offered
handsomo sums for this production and induce-:
ments for future. films.
But you will discover that her principal vo
cation in life is that .of wife and TOOthor. Tho
family of five husband and four children
are tho dominant motif In her existence. Sho
lectures, produces films, does active club work
as avocations, but hor great theme ln lifo is
being wife and mother. Tho Lyceum MagazinoI .

advocated than any other person," liv

income tax, election of United States
senators by The people, prohibition
and woman suffrage, now written in

tenacious efforts is due the successof
national prohibition, and the demise
of John Barleycorn, second only to
the W..C. T. U. organization.
It was our pleasure to hear him at
the national Democratic convention
at San Francisco deliver his remark
able address when making the minor
ity report on the platform, The pror
longed applause there indexed the
esteem in which he was held.
To Mr. Bryan is due. the credit of
first formulating the principles em
bodied in the League of Nations
pact, which he inserted in his
treaties signed by thifty nations
during his service as secretary
of state. To him Woodrow Wil
son owes his nomination at the Balti
more convention in 1912, and last,
but not least, did Wilson owe his
second election 'to the great common
er, who, although retiring from the
cabinet, continued loyal to the ad
ministration. Viewed from these various angles,
morally, physically, intellectually,

safe in saying the country, yes, the

cry those whose tongues are halted by a
too meager knowledge of God's Holy Word.
How many times you have longed to rise in
prayer meeting, or a young people's society
meeting, and pour out the praises that filled
your heart, or tell of the blessing you had
found in some Scripture passage yet have
remained silent in your seat ! How many times
you have thirsted to share the very depths
of your soul yet lackof words made expres
sion too difficult. Your starved knowledge of
Scripture truth, your slender grasp of the
Divine Revelation, make you timid to speak
out in the presence of others who have studied
the Bible diligently.
Surely, you are not measuring up to the
standard of a true Christian worker if your
heart and mind are not well stored with the
knowledge of God's Word.
All true Christians whether 'business men,
housewives, office workers, Sunday School
teachers or preachers realize that by personal
conversation as well as by their conduct they
should bear witness in their daily contact with
others. And they crave fuller knowledge and
greater readiness to do it. Through
Moody Bible Institute
Correspondence Courses
you can secure a thorough working knowledge
of the Bible. As you proceed with these studies
your life will be wondrously enriched, your
latent intellectual powers developed, your
stores of knowledge gloriously increased.
Read What Other Students Say:
"As I finish the course, I find no words to express my
thanks for the help it has given me."
"I have gained more real knowledge of the Bible and
God in. studying the one book (Genesis) as your course
directs, than 1 ever before gained from the whole
Bible.'
"I often mention In my sermons that a Correspond
ence Course from the Moody Bible Institute has
been of far greater value to me than all my Bible and
theological work in college."
"I am sending in my last Bible lesson, wrote a student
of the Synthetic Course, "and words fail me when I
try to tell, what these lessons have meant to me I
never enjoyed anything more in my life."
