By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
, Tho United States ucnatc had a gain
week. It "put one over" on 1'resident
'Wilson by obtaining n copy of tlu
peace trcuty for which it bad vainly
psked tht chief executive; It investi
gated u so-called leak of the treaty,
to tho nvowed satisfaction of tho dif
ferent, fuctlons; und It Bturted pro
veedtags doslgifcd to forco the separa
tion of the league of nations covenant
tfrom tho jrnco puct. So a lovely time
wuh bad by nil.
When a correspondent of u Chicago
mpcr handed his copy of the treaty,
which be had Just brought from Eu
rope, to tho foreign relations commit
tee, Senator Borah promptly present
ed It to tho senate with the statement
that copies wore- in general clrculu
Itlon In European countries and the
'request that It bo printed in tho Con
gressional Itecord ub n senate docu
ment. Unanimous consent being re
fused, tho printing was ordered by a
vote of 47 to 24. There ensuol n llve-
!ly debate In which Senator Hitchcock,
minority lender, accused tho majority
of playing Germany's game by making
the treaty public, slnco up to then
tho Gcrmnn government wus tho only
ono thnt had taken such action and
that It did It for the purpose of get

wan a pretty scrap while It lasted,
Nut tho administration supporters
were beaten to a standstill and tho
jnvernment printers were put to work
on tho Job. By tho next morning
every congressman was In possession
of a copy of the treaty ns It stood
when It was bunded to the Germnns.
The satisfaction of tho majority
may hare been lessened by tho ad
mitted fact that they learned little
from the full copy which the olllclal
summary had not ulrcady told them.
In view of this, und f the undented
fact that copies 6f tho treaty hnve
been plentiful In Europe for some
weeks, it Is hard to sco In what way
the possession of the document by
congress will hamper tho work of Uie
peHCO conference or why President
Wilson was so Insistent on keeping
it from America. The London press,

that parliament also had not Insisted
on having the full text of tho treaty.

INTERMEDIATE TOPIC The Marks
of a Christian.
8ENIOK AND ADULT TOPIC-Some
Fundamentals of Faith nnd Practice.
The method of review will largely bo
determined by the grade of the school.
The primary teacher can use the ma
terial which shows love to the Heav
enly Father; the Junior teacher, that
which teaches about God; the Inter
mediate teacher, the marks of n Chris
tian ; the senior nnd adult teacher, tho
fundamentals of faith and practice. As
Illustrative of the method for tho
senior nnd adult, note the following:
Lesson I. God who was before all
things la the cause of all things. The
universe came Into being by the will
nnd net of the divine personality. Man
himself Is a crcntlon of God, not an
evolution. All things continue to be
by the preserving power of God. This
great being Is the Father of all who be
lieve on Jesus Christ. We should give
him our undivided uffectlon uud trust
him for food and raiment.
Leseon II. Jesus, the Son of God
and Israel's Messiah, Is the lamb wb,o
bore our sins. Out of God's love he
was given, nnd "whosoever bellcveth
on him shall not perish, but have ever
lasting life."
Lesson III. Jesus Christ rose from
the dead. His resurrection gunnintees:
1. The Integrity of the Scriptures
I Cor. 15:20).
2. The reality of the divine person
(Rom. 1M).
H. The sufficiency of Christ's nton
Ing sacrifice (Rom. 4:2.").
4. Life and Immortality of the be
liever (I Cor. 15:20).
Le68on IV. On the day of Pentecost
the Holy Spirit was poured out upon
the disciples, baptizing them Into tho
one body of which Christ Is the bead.
The gift of the Spirit peculiarly qual
ified the disciples to be bis witnesses.
Lesson V. God created man In bis
likeness nnd lmngc nnd placed him at
tho bead of creation.
Lesson VI. Through the fall of
Adam sin hns passed upon nil men,
bringing death, physical and spiritual,
nnd sorrow In Its train.
Lesson VII. Lost men nro snved ab
solutely by God's grace. His grace
means his kindness townrd men
through Jesus Christ.
Lesson VIII. At the preaching of
Jonah the people of Nineveh repented.
Because of their repentance God's
wrath wus turned aside. Those who
repent of their sins nnd cry to God
for mercy through Jesus Christ shnll
be snved.
Lesson IX. It Is only through faith
thnt man enn plenso God. Through
fnlth the mightiest victories have been
wrought. The grand exemplar upon
whom faith can rest Is Jesus Christ.
Lesson X. The grand Incentive to
obedience Is love to God. Culling Christ
Lord will not nnswer for disobedience
to ills will. Henrlng nnd doing his
teachings Is building upon the solid
rock. Such building cn"h never be de
stroyed by flood or storm.
Lesson XI. The right motive In pray
ing Is not to attract mnn's nttontlon,
but to hnve fellowship with God. God
Is pleased with persistency In prayer.
Lesson XII. The grentest of the
Holy Spirit's gifts Is love the lovo
of God shed nbrond In our hearts.
Lovo Is not n mere sentiment or emo
tion, but a mighty dynamic which
transforms the life, expressing Itself
In practical service to men. It abides
forever.
Staying Away From Church.
The hnblt of nhsentlng one's self
from the Sunday services of the church
is one thnt some seem to acquire very
easily. It Is a hnblt to bo shunned.
Sometimes It Is occnslnned by sick
ness; often some smnll excuse, some
grudge ngalnst n member, some re
sentment nt a fellow member's fault.
Is the ocenslon. Jesus will be there,
even If an unworthy member Is pres
ent. Jesus may be present especially
to meet nnd forgive thut unworthy
member; nnd who nre we that wo
should Judgo n brother or n sister?
