His admiration for Wong Lee led Bruce to wam the pi rate of a plot against his life, made practicable through the treachery of Caglioni, one of the robber's hench men. Wong Lee could do no more than be grateful, for Bruce would not listen to taking pay for his service; but the Chinaman compromised by giving the American a ring that would command the fealty of all Chinamen in any part of tno world. "Good for the- ring," said Bruce to himself, forgetting that it had not worked overly well as a talisman aeainst the underling, Caglioni. Nev ertheless Bnico held this as his chief and most potent aid when he, later on adopted the Wong Lee-Robin Hood system of wealth distribution. If you would know all the story read Frederic S.

(To the Edi tor) On reading the courteous note asking me certain questions by an anonymous correspondent, T. E. D., I was reminded of an experience a the ological candidate is said to have had nt t.lin hnnds of his examiners. When he entered the room they told him: "You have five minutes to discuss the following subjects, the Being of God and the Immortality of the Soul." As the questions asked by T. E. D. have been debated by the keenest minds, and volumes have been viit ten on them, I, who pretend to neither scholarship nor menial acumen, can hardly hope to satisfy my questioner, especially in the brief space tho edi tor would be willing to grant in his columns. However, I long ago de termined if a man asked me a rea sonable question from sincere mo tives, I would try to give him an an swer to the best of my ability, even if it were manifestly inadequate. Question First: "Will you kindly explain why there are two creations mentioned in the Bible: Gen. 1st and 2nd chapters, and what was the na ture of each?" Answer: There are not two crea tions but two accounts of one and the same creative event. Why there are two is probably that both arc neces sary for our learning, God being the judge. Besides it is a customary Oriental trait to give two accounts of the same occurrence, one in general terms and the other in the more par particular details. Tho first account deals mainly with the creation as the work of God, but the second- is fo cussed on a particular part of God's creation, man and his moral develop ment. This is in preparation to ex plain all that follows in regard to man's probation, fall and restoration. Difficulties have been found in har monizing these two accounts, but there always seem to me to bo super ficial. One must remember that these accounts were written in the first place to people who had no knowledge ; I of cosmogony, geology and kindred j , sciences, and who spoke and thought pictoi ially, with often a most sub-. lime disregard for accuracy in detail. J . Question Two: "Do the Scriptures i teach that the Father and the Son are one and the same identity?" Answer: I am not sure what is meant by thnt question. If it means one and the same individual like an actor in two separate roles, tho an swer is no. Our Lord Jesus Christ as serted His oneness with His Father, I and mv Father (we) are one. But He makes a personal distinction between Himself and the Father. The oneness cannot then be of person but of substance. To quote from a theological declara tion: "In the unity of this Godhead thero bo threo IVrsons, of one sub stance, power r.nd eternity, tho Fnther, the Son and the Holy Ghost" The word person ns used in connection with tho being of God, does not mean an individual and is used for wnnt of a better term. This is not surprising : l of the Central Office calls to remind him that it is about time that he leave the city before they make it too warm for him. Using the card with which Blaisdell has introduced himself Farrell pre sents himself at the Bcreton home as a Central Office man who has been sent by headquarters to guard the famous necklace. His suave manner completely overwhelms Bereton, and with his man Crabbe, o crooK ot mucn less subtletv. Farrell is given the freedom of the place. Among the guests is a friend of Bcreton. the son. He calls himself Dr. Ratcliffc, but Farrell is certain he has seen him somewhere before. He is there under pretense of attend ing- Bertie for illness, Farrell's opportunity comes to steal the jewels and they are virtually within his grasp when Avice Bereton. the beautiful daughter of the host ap pears. Farrell falls in love with her and lets the jewels remain. The next evening while the jewels are bein? shown to the guests the lights sud denly go out and when they are switched on again the necklace is gone. Farrell at once carries out his assumed role, and begins searching for the thief. Dr. Ratcliffe, meanwhile, has left to respond to what he says is a death bed summons from" the city. Far rell's valet suspects him, and follow- RIPE BANANAS Per Dozen 25c Harris Grocery PHONE MAIN 70 FARMERS PHONE B. 192 408 North Fir Street, Cross Track ing in a racing car makes him return to attend Bertie, who he says is very ill. During the valet's absence, Far rell has accused Bertie of taking the jewels and exacts from him a com plete confession without any of the guests knowing about it. He gets the jewels out of Ratcliffe's bag just as Blaisdell of the Central Office makes his appearance. How Farrell es capes is one of the most masterly epi sodes ever shown upon the screen. hold me having." St. Luke 24:39. No one is more fully aware than I, concerning the inadequacy of these answers. But I console myself with the thought that the most learned man could not answer them so they would not be open to question. My questioner remarks that he would like to be religious, if he knew how. Well, here is a simple direc tion from Holy Writ: "Thou shalt love tho Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength; and thy neigh bor as thyself." Let him try conscientiously to do this and he will be headed aright. UPTON H. GIBBS. The Rev.
