In the houses, on the traincars, in tho underground trains, you see him betiding over a paper, wrinkling his brow, uud bus.ly wining. And everywhere you go the book shops and tne news stands and the stationers are now d spiaymg""b.g and little dictionaries. Word books of the vintage of is 10, which were deemed unsalable, have been trotted out and marked as har- I gums. I Of course you have guessed what it s ell about. London has a bad attack of "i. rosswordputzleitis.' '1 Ins curious d sease took a long time to cross the oeeau, but when K did, itjrame in its most virulent t'oiin and now everybody is doing it.

Ambassador Kellogg, who recently lett the Court of tel. James to be secretary 'ol state in Pres.dent Cuoi ldge's cabinet, has never had the rep unit. on ot being a w.t like Joseph Choate, one of tits predecessors. However, oue of his retorts is so good that it is worth immortality in these columns. When Keiiogg settled here, he rent ed the beau til ul old house ol Lord Crewe home, tuinuure, p.ctures and all. Now among the oil pain tings by famous English masters there waa one of K.ng tieorge III, whose blind obst.nacy brought about our famous war for independence. A distinguished Englishman, seek ing to twit Kellogg, said: "1 mil surprised to see in the home of the American nuibassador the pic ture of King George." "Not at all, my dear felluw," re torted Kellogg. Tt is most appro-1 prime. You forget, George is the' in a n who gave Americans their coun try." Speaking of ambassador, a very prosperous yarn has flouted down here from Spain. Alex Moore, a real newspaper ihhd, is American ambassador to the Court of Mad riil. lie it remembered that the Spunish court is the most cere monious in all the world. Every move, every step, every bit of clothing is regulated and preKcrib-, ed. The Spanish royal family are treated in their own court like little tin gods. 1 Such a thing as a real human , touch is practically unknown. And then along comes this he-man ! .Moore, with his little "homey" ways.

' But it's merely a clever ad, because the smaller type informs you that if, you nre robbed, you will lose the two , pence you intended investing tn the Blank-Blah, the best funny paper In London. And the next day you are confront-1 ed in the underground elevators by another: : "Stop your joking in this lift." , If you take, the trouble to rend the fine print, you nre informed that th plsre for alt the best jokes is in the j Blank-Blah. I Which shows that these Britons are adopting some of our striking adver tising methods. I CHRIST'S INTERCESSORY PRAYER Text of Today's Bible Talk by Mr. Bryan (John 17:X-13j These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, snd said, Father, the hour is come; K'nrtfy thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thoe: As thou Imst given him power over alt flesh , that ho should give eternal lifo to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they miRlit know then tho only true God, aud Jesus Christ, whom thou bant sent. I have glorifiod thee on earth: I have finished lho work which thou gavert me to do.

For 1 havo given unto them thn words which a vest me; and they have received them, and have kuown surely that I canio out from thw, and they havo believed that thou dldnt sonrt me.

Making us Blessings i I BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN Christ's intercessory prayer, is de livered just before hi crucifixion, the greatest of all the prayers of which we have record. I t. Gordon is uuted in Peloubet's Notes as saying of it : "The heart nf the world's life is in Jits literature. The b"-art of all litera ture is this sacred hook of God. The j heart of this book is the Gospels. The I heart of the four Gospels is John. i t imni i i., i ii ii, aim inrri et sit inner heart here. H is this bit, this seventeenth chapter, where I the inner side of Jesus' prayer life i lies open to us." j Melnncthou is quoted as saying in j his last lecture: 1 "There is no voice which has ever j been beard, either in heaven or in . earth, more exalted, more holy, more i fruitful, more sublime, thai this pray ; er offered up by the Son of tied ! Himself." While these authorities have stated i the matter very strongly, the state ! ments are amply justified. There ' could be no prayers equal to those ! addressed to the Heavenly Father by the Father's Only Begotten Son. And j no other prayer which lie uttered had .: such a setting and such a purpose as this. K A Different Kind of Prayer 1 In what is known an the Lord's Prayer, the Sjviour gave to His dis ciples and to Ilia followers through out all time a model prayer which t very simply and very comprehensive ly sets forth the form of n petition ; which should asceud from nil human hearts. t But the prayer from which our i text is taken today could not be ut tered by a human being; it ia a re view of Christ's stewardship, given ! not for information to the nil-know-; itK Gotl, but for inspiration to the 'disciples in whose presence the pray er was uttered. j The hour bad come when He was about to be glorified: profoundly im- ' pressive wns this conversation he tween the Messiah and the Father ; who had sent Him on the most im portant commission ever entrusted tn a messenger- even to a messenger ' so exalted. Christ was to he glorified, not be cause it brought any advantage to Him or satisfied any tieed of which 'He wns conscious: it was that the Son might glorify the Father. It sug- j gests the first of the many lessons which can be drawn from the text laud recalls the word of the Lord to i Abraham, as recorded in Genesis. When Abraham was called out from his country, from his father's house aud from his kindred, into a laud that was later to be made known to him. God said : "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great: and thou shall be a blessing." Or, as the new ver sion renders it, "he thou a blessing." The purpose which God has iu blessing man is here stated in Words that ought to burn their way into i every heart. One must he supremely t egotistical to think that tied would single him out from among a billion and a half of human souls and shower blessings upon him without some higher and larger purpose than the mere gratification of one finite, short lived nnd comparatively insignificant human being. Let us take, for instance, the aver age person born at this time in n Christian fnmity in this country. i First, he is born into the greatest If one applies to himself the lau- gungo addressed to Abraham, tlie I whole matter is made clear; thero is a reason why man should be blessed if he is in turn to be a hies nig. The more he is blessed, the greater his power to transfer the blessing to others the greater the fruitage, that becomes possible. If Christ, who was equal with the Father, could justify His petition to the heavenly Father on the 'ground that that which wns conferred upon Him would be used for the mngnifyirx of the Father, how can man do less? Our study of this lesson will not be in vain if we resolve to give God the glory for nil our joys nnd all our accomplishments and to make our lives conduits through which tho goodness of God may be carried to others less fortunate than ourselves. In his prayer, Jesus recounts the authority vested in Him to give eternal life to those whom the Father bad given Him. Aud then wc have a wonderful definition of eternal lifo "that they might know thee tho only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." Three Views of Christ Was Christ an impostor? lie would have been if these words, spoken by Him, hnd not been true. No mere hum an being could have used His lan guage without being guilty of an im position a fraud without parallel in ill the annals of time. Thove who look upon Christ as merely a good man overlook the fact Hint Christ could not have been a good man if He hnd knowingly laid claim to a character which lie tlid not possess. Neither would He be trustworthy If lie could have been deluded into an honest but false con ception of Himself. IBs language was not the language of n deluded man, neither was His life the life of one acting under a delusion. And yet, there are but three explanations of Christ. He wns either what He represented Himself to be, or a conscious deeeiver, or the victim of delusion. "What think ye of 'hrist '" The prayer presents another fnct that must be accepted as true or re jected as false. Christ calls upon the Father: "Glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I hnd with thee before the world was." Here is positive pr-tof, unless Christ's words are rejected as false, that the Son wns with Hie Father in heaven not only before He defended to earth, but "before the world was." An examination of the two version (tin' King .lames, known as the Au thorized Version, and tho Revised Version I reveals the fact thnt ther are identical as to every word of this verse. There can be no ipiestinn in to the inenning of the words; there nre no differing interpretations: the only question thnt can nrise is as to tho veracity of Christ in using the language or tho veracity of John in reproducing it. The words establish the supernat ural character nnd holy mission of our Loid and Saviour nnd mnke it easy to accept nil that is said of Him. If Christ wns with the Father nnd left the throne above that He might offer Himself a propitiation for our sins, everything recorded of Him Is natural and just what might be ex pected. Why should not such an One ha conceived of the Holy Ghost and horn of a virgin.? Why should He not break the bonds of the tomb and, rising bodily from the grave, ascend into heaven? All the questioning that hns dis tmbed thn religious world is due to a failure to understand the real char acter of ChriRt. The Bihle describes one Christ and describes Jlim consist ently throughout; it is another Christ thnt is set up by unbelievers a mere human being, stripped of all deity, of all nnepruatural power and re duced to the stature of a man. The truth set forth in thn above quoted verse is confirmed further on in the prayer. Tho completeness of the revelation of Christ is affirmed: "For I have given uuto them (ths disciples) tho words which thod gavest me." In their presence, Christ address ing tho 1 lenvenly Father, declare that they "have known surely that I cnino out from thee," and that God did send Him. The next verse of the prayer pre sents a petition that is quite different in its scope from other petitions of fered by the Saviour. He is not at this time praying for the world In general, but only for those whom he can clnim ns His own those "which thou hast given me." It in affection ate language such as mortals use at the fireside. The world is shut out for the moment and those who belong to the family circle nre brought Into tho presence of the Ilenrcnly Father with the prayer that they may be precious in God's sight. What an Impetus Christianity will receive when this prayer is answered. Even without organic union, there can be unity of spirit, nnd co-operation without friction, just as many fam ilies, each constituting Rn own sep nrate home, can unite fn harmonious co-operative effort for the benefit of the community.

Sunday Feb. 15,8 P.M. 8EATS FREE NO COLLECTION International Bible Students Association The Annual Budget Campaign of the Young Men's Christian Association T imi here to'gppnk to vou, briefly, tibout the Young Men's Christian Association and tho Annual budget campaign which will start tomorrow morning at eight o'clock and continue for a -wools if necessarv. The purpose of this drive is to raise $12,r00.()0 wil'i which to finnnco the "Y" for tho current Year. Wo will need the help of all of the people of our city to make this enmpnign a suc cess. In" fact, the same class' of people finance tho "Y" that support our churches, niako our laws and observe them, including the IHih Amendment, who s! and for law and order, our freo public school system and all American ideals. The Eugene association is under a' hard-working, competent ami aggressive leadership nnd was never more progressive and efficient than it is today. It requires time, talent nnd money to keep an institution of this kind performing successfully. The Young Men's Christian Association is now an institution of world-wido servico and influ ence. This great world-movement was started in London, England, OH years ago by a Ood-fcaring young man by tlie uamo of George Williams, who builded better t,han he knew. Tho first Y. M. C. A. building in America was creeled in New York City in 18(i!), and cost upwards of a half million dollars. The past, year has seen an increase in the work and growth of (he "Y" of 9.5 over tho preced ing year. There are now KiH!) associations iu thin country and foreign lands, with nearly ono mil lion members and one hundred and fifty million dollars invested in buiidings and equipment. Tho work of the Young Men's Christian Association is now well established in 18 foreign coun tries with 384 associations not including those in Knrope and the Near East. Theso associations nro organized under native boards and control, the American secretaries aiding in their direction only so long as needed. The foreign work of tho "Y" aside from its spiritual training is proving an influ ential factor iu promoting the spirit of pence and good will among the nations of the world. In rendering help and service to this great cause, you can start a chain of events from which' goo dresults may extend to the farthest shores of time a life-line of faith, hopo nnd helpfulness which time cannot destroy for good expressed is spiritual, cumulative and eternal. Hv the building of the spiritual side of our young men with christian ideals, you nro construct ing fundamentals that arc the source and continuity of democracy and progress. To tho extent that you aid in such a worthy cause, you honor yourselves by the expression of such ideals in righteous service to others. Square young lives are worth mor.e lo any country (ban square miles. AVlio can measure tho worth to mankind of such men as Washington, Lincoln iind Uoosevelt aud yet these nro tho kind of men that make America great. They are the direct outgrowth of our free democratic form of govern ment and American ideals of which the Young Men 's Christian Association is a typical-symbol nnd expression. It is very generally conceded Unit lho present ago is lho most momentous period in all human his tory. There aro great rcligiims and educational, economic, political and racial issues of international bearing, waiting and pressing for a correct solution. America, through the logic of events, seems destined to take n leading part iu the adjustment of these world problems because of her fine spirit ual leadership, high ideals and superior standard of public education. Our country is-the out standing, tho most enlightened and successful democracy in all recorded history Being a government of the people, by tho people and for the people, it affords n shining example and an inspiration (o all the nations of tho Earth. Those who havo traveled East know that the world's great need is moro light, tho shining, spiritual light of (iod. Tho Young Men's Christian association is an outgrowth of this great light: It is tho outstand ing, dominant and inspiring christian institution of our country, in the world and of hII timo for spiritual training, character building and physical culturo among the young people of every land; It is tho wide-open door through which great multitudes have entered into healthier, happier and more useful careers. This is tho worthy 'cause, the noble purpose for helping young men lo help themselves, for which I ask your generous- support, whether of time, tnl'-yt of money, for Ibis is the law of life; To do unto others as you would that others should do unto, you, for, somehow, the good that you do to others is the joy that comes bnck to vou. .
