Going lo Church Will Convert Even the Hypocrite ONE of the reasons given tome people for reusing to GO TO CHURCH is that them art "too many hypocritee" jroiiig to church today. Tcrliaps it is true that there are some hypocrites in there h en Sunday. But these people cannot deceive the Almighty. They can only deceive men. Beside, there always is a chance that even a hypocrite will see a l't. -11 he is constant in hit attend ance at church the hypocrisy ia bound to dn-appear. Sincerity urelv will follow. Many a man has started to GO TO CnURCII just for the fake of making a good impression, and eventually he has become a God fearing, upright citizen. Xo man can listen to a seranon every Sunday and be deaf to the word of God as expressed hy the clergyman. lie is bound to be a Christian in time. IT IS TRUE THAT MANY SINNERS GO TO CHURCH. THt CHURCH IS THE PLACE FOR SINNERS. IT IS THERE THAT THEY WILL BE CLEANSED OF THEIR SINS. THE CHURCH ALSO IS A PLACE FOR THE GODLY. IT GIVES THEM THE STRENGTH TO PERSEVERE IN THEIR GODLINESS. IT GIVES THEM) THE SO LACE OF RELIGION. SOME PEOPLE NEVER GO TO CHURCH UN TIL THEY ARE STRICKEN WITH SOME GREAT SORROW. THEN THEY ASK GOD TO HELP THEM BEAR THEIR SUFFERING. THEY FIND THE CONSOLATION IN CHURCH THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYWHERE ELSE. IT IS NOT FAIR TO GOD TO NEGLECT HIM AND HIS CHURCH UNTIL THE HOUR OF SORROW AND MIS FORTUNE. The GO TO CHURCH movement is one that cannot be de nied. It is the most splendid thing that was ever undertaken in this country. The cities are the better for it. The country ia the better for it. Is there the slightest reason why you should not GO TO CIIVKCH next Sunday? GO. GO EVERY SUNDAY. meets promptly it I! o'clock, W. I. St airy, superintendent. Morning chunk service at 11 o'clock.

L.- Kelso, way kept, I thould say that there are probably not more than a score of per sons in all America who have pressed foot on the very bricks of the floor of Nebuchadnezzar's throne room, as the Germans have laid it bare. Kaiser 'a Stake in Babylon. Germany hr.d more than a scrolnrly interest in Babylon. The expenses of the work, amounting us Dr. Kaldcwar told me, to $20,000 a year ,were met by the German government. The kaiser's personal interest in the Babylon project is famous. Not only was it a research work that appealed to the imagination, but it was also a "stake'.' in this won derful region to which the imperial Ger man government ambitions were, direct ed. Tht members of Dr. Kaldewar's staff were all German officers and that their activities were not exclusively archaeological has been demonstrated by the early successes of the Turco-Teuton-ic expedition. They accomplishtd what tho British long dominant in this region had believed impossible. Now Babylon is practically a suburb of Bagdad. It automatically follows Mesopotmia. When the city of the Caliphs fell lo General Maude's forces, and the Turks wero chased from their outlaying positions- Babylon was one of the first points to be cleared. Y"r unsentimental British officer was not unmindful of the romance of capturing the city which had fallen to Cyrus the Great and Alexander the Great, and which has had a peculiar position in all the histories of antiquity. As a German center it was important that it should not be left iu the enemy's hands. In Footsteps of Abraham. Bible students best understand the dispatches from Mesopotamia, for other persons, for the most part, have only the haziest notions as to the location of Mesopotamia itself, not to speak of its detailed points. Interest in the pres ent retreat of the Turkish-German 'for ces is enhanced by the fact that they are operating strictly within Bible lands, and their course is uliuost iden tical with that followed by Abrnhnm, when he followed the voice that called him out of Ur of tho Chnldees. Kut el Amara is on the edge of ancient Ur. The Chaldeans are still living there. Among the Christian leaders hung by the Turks when they took Bagdad were eminent men of the Chaldean Christian church, one of tho historic, eastern chinches which has borne witness to its faith, despite aU persecutions in this famous region. When Abraham went to Huron, he followed the Tigris river, just as the Turks are doing. They have the ad vantage of a hundred miles of the Bagdad railway, which lias been built northward from the city the name of which it bears, to old Samarra, the place famous religiously as the tomb of the tenth Imam, the mahdi whose return is expected by Moslem Jt was because of the pilgrimages that this section of the railroad was completed, without waiting for the rest- The mos que which covers the tomb of the tenth Imam is one of the most beautiful of the world, externally. No Christian lias the real battle of Armageddon! (Continued on page four.) never regret the courtesies they hav shown us and will thus in our own limited wav express the gratitude we feci."
