The latter wanted to purchase a buggy, and when told the price was $90 said: "My father bought a buggy exactly like that for $60 twenty years ago.” The dealer remembered the sale also, and said: “Your father turned in 300 bushels of corn to pay for it.

The melting snow, which renders the roads ;and rivers impassable, precludes any |big operation.” This declaration of j the Russian War Minister, Alexander ; Guchkoff, at staff headquarters, after Russian Troops Full of Ardenâ€"High Pitch of Patriotism a visit to the northern front, appears to dissipate the alarm created by the startling warning of the War Minister a week ago that the capital itself was menaced by-a threatened German at- tack. It was argued at the time of the enunciation of the Minister’s warning, which was the culmination of a series of similar declarations from the other Ministers and by the President of the Duma, that the mobilization of enemy forces along the northern front, was seized upon as a pretext by the new Government to arouse the army and the workingmen to a realization of the responsibility resting upon them and stem the tide of disorganization which threatened to break down the efficiency of the army. Whether the danger was exaggerated, the effect of the warnings has been to arouse a sentiment of patriotism among sol- diers and workingmen never before witnessed in Russia. The Minister said that What he saw on the front “gives no basis for pes- simism,” that the mood of the troops is good and that everybody believes in victor '. The troops only insist up- on intensive work in the preparation and transport of munitions. As an evidence of the responsiveness of the workmen to the appeals of the Gov- crnment, 800 workmen in one depart- ment of the Putiloff works, one of the largest of the arms factories, at a mass meeting recently held, adopted a resolution to the effect “that any demand at present for increased pay or shorter hours would be unfair to our comrades at the front.” A despatch from New York says: The ofl‘icers and crew of the Cunarder Orduna, which arrived here from Liverpool, were cheered up before they sailed by the news that the Ger- man submarine which sank the La- conia on February 25 and the Folia on March 11, among other vessels, had been destroyed off Connebeg, on the southwest of Ireland, between the Euskars and Queenstown, on March 15. Disguiscd Patrol Boat Deceives and Captures Submarine What appeared to be an old British steamship ,that was slowly cruising along the southwest coast of Ireland. off Connebeg, was attacked at 4 o’clock on the afternoon of March 15 by a German submarine of the latest type. After firing a torpedo the U-boat disappeared. As the steam- ship was rapidly sinking, the sub- marine rose to the surface to see the name of the vessel, and that. action was fatal. After being torpedoed the supposed tramp, which was a patrol vessel in disguise, let down her dum- my superstructure; the crew with guns run out, and the ship sinking under then], waited for their turn, which the captain was sure would come, and it did. A broadside from the patrol boat’s three 4.7 guns blew the submarine to pieces, and the (torn- mandant, who was in the conning tower, was the only (me of the crew of. thirty-seven men that was saved.

The movement from Dely Abbas was continued and the hostile troops advancing from that direction now are in full retreat. An enemy force advancing from the Shatt- el-Adhaim was attacked by us on Thursday, and after some severe fight- ing we occupied the whole enemy posi- tion, from which several counter- attacks failed to dislodge us. This enemy force, after leaving 124 un- wounded prisoners in our hands, has again sought refuge on the right bank of the Shatt-el-Adhaim. Since March 19 our forces operating to the north and northeast of Bagdad have been actively engaged in pressing back the enemy troops still remaining in this area and generally, securing and consolidating the positions.

On the 25 there was severe fighting on the Diala River about Jebel Hamrin (a range of hills stretching north of the Diala River to the Tigris), and in the direction of Kizil Robat (twenty miles south of Khanikin), the enemy being heavily punished. Deltawah an Sin- diyah, rich and productive areas some thirty-five miles north of Bagdad, are now occupied by our forces, who here are confronted by the remnants of the enemy defeated at Kutoel-Amara which have been reinforced by fresh units. Fallujah (Kalaat Felujah), thirty-six miles west of Bagdad on the Euphrates, was occupied March 19, the Turkish forces offering little or no opposition and retreating in the direction of Hit (sixty miles to the northwest).

Anoth r prisoner said Gen. Savx’itch had is- sued an order that officers should treat the men as comrades because of dangerous unrest in the interior. Therefore a complete change had come.

The lesson chapter today is out 0! the regular order. just one lesson. be- cause of its being suitable for Easter. This is the home in Bethany which seemed to mean more to Jesus than any other and to which we were in- troduced in Luke x. 38-12. when we saw Martha serving. but not restfully. Mary serving also, but finding time to sit at Jesus‘ feet and hear His Word and commended by Him. We shall visit them again two weeks hence. In Matt. xxvi, 0, it is called the house of Simon, the leper, and we feel like asking some questions. that we may know the family better. But whom shall we ask? Until we can see them and inquire more fully. if it shall then seem best. let us rejoice with them that Jesus loved each of the three. as it is written, “Now. Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus" (verse 5). Many Marthas have been made glad by this verse. I am glad because the Son of God loved me and gave Him- self for me and that lie loves with everlasting love and to the uttermost (Gal. ii, 20; Jer. xxxi. 3; John xiii, 1, R. V. 31.). Why He permits sickness and suffering and death to come to those whom He loves is a constant question with many. but there is com. :fort in the assurance that God is love, iHis way is perfect. No real evil can iever come to His own. and the suffer- ;ings of this present time are not [worthy to be compared with the glory lwhich shall be revealed in us (I John |iv, 8; Ps. xviii, 30; xei, 10; Rom. viii, 18). Why He did llut go to them as soon as He reeeixul the word, but .abode two days where He was (verse 0), is another perplt-xily. but we must ,have absolute confidence in Him and [keep singiner “Just and true are Thy LI’ ways" (Rev. xv, 3). It would be well if the last clause of verse 4 held us under all circumstances, “For the glory of God. that the Son of God might be glorified." Glory to God in the highest is the first thing, and then peace (Luke ii. 1-1). When He did come Martha met llim first and Mary a little later, but both greeted Him with the same words, “Lord, if Thou hadst been here my brother had not died” (verses 21, 32). They sound re- proachful, but He understood and loved them just the same. He spoke to Mar- tha of resurrection. but she thought that He spoke of rut-tile far 011' event (23-26). The resurm-tion of the right- eous should be In believers an ever present possibility and also the thought of being caught up without dying, both of which He here asserts. See also I Thess. iv, 16-18; I Cor. xv, 50-53. Not something in the fur distant future, but a possibility any day. “Yet a very littlewhile, He that t'nnlcth shall come and will not tarry" (lleb. x, 37, R. V.). Mary did not come to Him until Mar- and will not tarry" (lleh. x, 37, R. V.). Mary did not come to Him until Mar- tha returned and said, “The Master is come and calleth f or thee.” Then she arose quickly and came unto Him (verses 28, 29). I wonder how the Jews comforted her (verse 31). How would you comfort such a sad heart? God is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us that we may comfort others, but I re- member only'one place where it is written, “Comfort one another with these words” (11 Cor. i, 3, 4; I Thess. iv, 18). Of too many it might be said. “Miserable comforters are ye all” (Job xvi, 2). In due time they came to the tomb, and Jesus wept and groaned in Himself (verses 35, 3S). On this occasion, as He entered Jeru- salem and in Gethsemane are the three occasions on which it is recorded that Jesus wept, but He was ever a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (Isa. liii, 3). When He said, “Take yo away the stone,” Martha objected. as it it were an impossible case, for he had been dead four days. His reply is for each of us and for every day, “Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldest believe thou shouldest see the glory of God?” (Verse 40.) . The same truth is in Ps. xxvii, 13â€"1 believed to see. The world’s motto is, “Seeing is believing," but the Christian believes in order to see. Jesus talked a moment with His Father and then cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth I” Instantly he was at the mouth of the tomb, alive and well, but still bound hand and foot. with the graveclothes and his taco bound about with the napkin. Tho same word that gave him lire brought him also to the mouth or the cave. Some day that same voice will bring forth all the dead, the righteous at the beginning of the thousand years and the unjust at the close of that period (chapter v, 28, 29). It probably gave fear and trembling to some to see a dead man stand up with the graveclothes still on him, but Jesus said, “Loose him and let him go." and soon he is freed from the habin- ments of. death. Oh, the wonder work. ing Christ; truly a man, for He wept: truly God, for He can raise the dead, and He is ever “this same Jesus.” Many who have come to life trom be- ing dead in sins have not been fully freed from their graveclothes, the things they did in their former day: when they were of this present evil age, but He who gave life is able to set treetromallbondagea-ndmaketmo indeed to serve Him. It’yon are free by His word and Spirit, He will nu ya! to set some one else tree it you will. PAGE 3. iii
