There was a time In the country's lil-story when military enumerators, becked by bayonets, went out among the people to take n compulsory serv ice census. Today, under the principle of universal liability to service, the ex ecution of the lnw Is put Into the hands of the people.

To all clearing house associations In the country Mr. McAdoo sent n tele gram In which he said : "The amount of the initial loan has been determined by the needs of the government nnd not arbitrarily.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON Probability That One Committee Will Purchase All Supplies Needed by the Allied Countries. Washington. Creation of a central purchasing committee In Washington for nil supplies bought In the United States for the allied governments was forecast here by Sir Hordmnn Lever, flnnncinl expert of the Hrltlsh war mission. The committee will supplant J. P. Morgan & Co. Discussing the world finnnclal situa tion, tho British expert expressed the opinion that Germany will ho practical ly bankrupt In the credit mnrkets nfter tho war. "Our enemies," lie snld, "for all their boasted efficiency, hnvo never had the courage to faco their finnnclal prob lems, with the result that when the war Is over they will bo hard put to It." The Teutonic governments having pyramided ono Internal loan upon an other, he explained, their Interest charges would be so great that he be lieved they would either have to repu diate ii inrge part of their debt or faco Inability to buy the enormous quanti ties of mnterlol they would need for reconstruction. The allies, he added, had paid their way In tho war "by the straightfor ward and natural means, by pouring out their gold, by selling enormous masses of American securities, by rais ing loans." As n result, he predicted that the end of the wnr would find tho allies In good shape financially, desplto their enormous permanent debts. concealed damage Is discovered.

O. 8KM.En8, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of tho Moody Ulblo Institute.) (Cop right. 1817. Wnlrm Nwtimrr Onion.) LESSON FOR MAY 13 JESUS THE TRUE VINE. I.KSSON THXT-John IB MS. UOI.DP.N TKXT-1 nni the vine, ye nr the brunches. John 15.C. This lesson chronologlcnlly follows ;hat of last Sunday. Christ had risen with his disciples from the supper tn lilc (11:31), and the remainder of his discourse may hnve occurred In an up per room, or In the courtyard of tho house before they left the city, or on the way to the garden of Gethsemane. I. THE ABIDING LIFE (vv. 1.4). Under the figure of the vino Jesus teaches spiritual truth by natural analogy. The vine Is composed of roots, stem, branches, tendrils, nnd fruit. There is no separate life: the branches are ono with the vine. Christ Is the head of that body which Is the church to its least member. The llfo lived by the Christian Is Christ's life humanized, the purpose of which is fruit hearing. Discipline Is In order to frultfulnesH. "He (My Father, the vlne-dresser) cuts away any branch on me which Is not hearing fruit, nnd cleans every branch which does hear fruit, to make It bear richer fruit" (Moffat's translation). Paul tells us that "no chastening for the present seemeth to be Joyous but grievous: nevertheless, afterward It yleldeth tho peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which nro exercised thereby." The Word Is the cleansing agent (17: 17). Verse four suggests a double nhldlng we lu him, and ho In us the branch depending upon tho vino for life, and the vino depending upon tho branch for fruit. Jesus had Just been talking about ids approaching death, and his disciples wero full of nnxlety. Ho tells them not to be trou bled, and by this figure assures them, that, though he would leave them, he would still be Joined to them. Al though they had been made elenn, they are taught that the only wny to keep clean Is by "abiding," which Is to he continued through the eternnl spirit after his decease and ascent to the Father. "It Is given to us to hold fellowship with both the root that twines Itself about the cross and the tendrils which stretch upward to glory." A. J. Gordon. So long as we think of ourselves, nnd not of Christ, ns the Bource of power, we shnll miss the secret of frultfulncss. II. The Fruitful Life (vv. R-8). If we nbldo in him wo will bring forth much fruit. Note tho progression: "fruit," "more fruit," "much fruit." If tho branch does not benr fruit It is fit only for fuel (Isn. 27:11). "If yo abido In me, and my words abide In you, yo shnll osk what yo will, and it shnll be done unto you" (v. 7). Our first fruit Is to glorify God (v. 8). The vine does not consume the fruit which it pro duces, though It does exist for Its pro duction, thus glorifying God through Its frult-benrlng function. Tho Blblo uses many figures to Illustrate the In tlmntc relationship hetween root nnd fruit. "Without me," emphasizes Christ, "ye can do nothing." The "word" of verse three Is equivalent to the word "I" of verse four. "Now ye nre clean through the word which I have spoken unto you" (v. 3). Our fruit bearing Is for God's glory be cause It Is an expression of his grnco nnd power, and It Is made possible through our Identification with his dear son. Our frultfulness attests our Christian chnracter. We have not yet attained perfection In our conduct, but wo are making progress. Progressive deliverance from tho power of sin Is counterbalanced by corresponding frultfulness. ' III. The Permanent Life (vv. 0-13). "Fruit," "more fruit," "much fruit." Even as tho life of Christ has Increas ingly manifested Itself through the ages, so our Indlvldunl lives nro to Increase In tho frultfulness which ns slmllntes them to his character nnd expresses his graces. As the Father has loved him, bo lias ho loved us, and this love he communicates to those who abide In him. Tho evidence of our abiding Is manifested by our Joy In keeping his commandments, Just ns ho delighted 'lu keeping his father's commandments. Obedlenco and Joy nre correlated terms. Tho fuller tho obedience the grenter tho Joy. Bush ncll said: "Heaven Is nothing but tho Joy of n perfectly hnrmonlzed being filled with God nnd his love." Intend of minute, detailed Instruction! re garding their conduct, tho dlsolples nro hero presented with love, tho gov erning principle. Love was to bo the one sufficient Impulse for both divine nnd human relationships. Our Lord would hnve the world know his serv ants by the fruit they bear. Three tilings nre mentioned ns re sulting from the abiding life; power to benr much fruit; transform lives nnd change circumstances through an swered prayer; and fullness of Joy n "Joy unspeakable and full of glory." Tho world with Its poor counterfeits has nothing like It to give, but nil of these gifts are contingent upon our "abiding" in Christ, tho sourco of ev ery blessing. Tho personal pronoun suggests peculiarly lntlmnto relation ships: "My Father," (w. 1, 8, 10); "My love," (v. 0) ; "My disciples," (v. 8) ; "My commandments," (v. 10) ; My Joy," (v. 11). y yjl&s t W V - mml IT", VJK.I-MU IV IH , i r ' ix i r-BBBBBBBBBBBBBBrBBBi'V-: - ibbb v Is Your Back Stiff, Lame and Achy?
