GOSPEL OF LORD FOR ALL PEOPLE, SAYS PASTOR God's Boundless Mercies Are Outlined by Rev, Fackler in Sermon. “The Lord is showing mercy unto ail people," the Rev. L. C. E. Fackler. pastor of St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church, said Sunday while speaking on “The Mercies of God.” “He lets the rain fall upon the Just as well as the unjust,” the Rev. Fackler said. “His gospel is for ay. He is not willing that any should perish but many despise His word and will, thereby depriving themselves of the mercy of God. “If the people today, who are seeking to gratify their flesh, would take a few moments to consider the mercies of God which they do not in the least deserve they would be led to more serious consideration of the same and many would be moved to show their appreciation. “The Lord has promised that He would be merciful unto us. ‘I will show mercy unto them that love me and keep my commandments.’ His mercy is not only unto those that love Him but even unto those in whom the love of God does not dwell. Were He not merciful who could stand one day in His presence? He has promised us the Holy Spirit whose duty it is to lead us into the knowledge of truth. Slow to Anger “He has further assured us that He Is slow to anger. The Lord can get angry and can deal out righteous indignation upon the guilty, though He will smite the guilty. He is slow of anger. He lingers long with loving kindness to give opportunity for repentance and acceptance of His mercy. He does not only promise but fulfills His promise. He said that He would not always chide. Man, on account of disobedience, compels God to scold. Though God may be slow to anger, many, by imposing upon God, pull down upon themselves harsh words of the Almighty, for Lhe Lord cannot endure that His people harbor sin in their hearts. For all that the Lord scolds frequently, nevertheless. He has many comforting words for the penitent sinner. “To those that hc-ed His words He will fulfill unto them this promise, j ‘Thy sins are forgiven thee.’ “Those who think of the greatness of man's sin ask, has the Lord sufficient mercy and blessing for all? j He tells us that He has sufficient mercy for all that come upon Him. My grace is sufficient for Thee. He thart comes unto me I will in no wise cA fst OUt.’ Mercy for All “As the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercies for them that fear Him. As far as the East is from the West so far shall He remove our transgressions from us. “Upon beholding His mercy we question the cause for the same. He odes this all out of fatherly divine goodness and mercy without any | merit or worthiness in me. He teaches us the facts concerning ourselves that we may see our need of 'the Savior. “He tells us concerning Himself that we may know the truth and the life and all this for the purpose that we may serve Him in spirit and in truth blessing His name for the merries enjoyed that we may partake ot the great mercy before His throne,” Rev. Fackler said. PUNCH SERVED AT SERVICE

BEGIN HERE TODAY John Ainsley, a man of education and -Dtp*ding. becomes a master crook—preying upon other thieves. In Park he comes to suspect the White Eagrle, himself a super-crimi-nal. of trying to swindle Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Higgins, wealthy Cincinnati. Ohio, persons. For some mysterious purpose the White Eaglp has founded, a club for one-eyed men on the Rue'des Sainteg Peres. Bound for New' York on the Altaria. Ainsley sees that the Higginses are followed by a one-eyed man. who keeps to himself and seldom speaks to any one At a concert aboard the boat. Mr. and Mrs. Higgins appear. resplendent with jewels. Mrs. Higgins is wearing upon her bosom a pear! which, a man tells Ainsley. cost one milion francs. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY •„ 1 ADMITTED that it was. “BiYt I I it’s not extremely large,” I ■ . 1 said. “It’s as big as your eye,” he declared. “And it’s the most perfect pearl of its size In existence. I heard Maret jabbering about it. Some Indian princess went bust and sold it.” He whistled. "He’ll have to pay another chunk of money tomorrow, at the customs, when he shows them that bit of junk. That'll break his heart. He sure hates to spend a nickel where it won’t show, the old tight-wad.” I agreed with him, sighing as I did so, thinking how well I could use the money represented by that pearl. Indeed, the thought was so agonizing that I left the lounge long before the concert was over, seeking solace in the smoking-room. The room was deserted, save for the one-eyed man. Unwilling to arouse any latent suspicion in him, I had hitherto refrained from accosting him. But now I nodded pleasantly to him. It was my last chance to make his acquaintance, and I had not yet given up the idea that, here was opportunity. But when I followed my nod with an invitation to join me in a pint of champagne, he brusquely refused. His one good eye shot a suspicious glance at me. I noted that that eye was gray, and that his glass eye matched the other. Rebuffed, I made no further efnp. I drank my wine, rose, took a tvmi

around the deck and went to mj stateroom. I immediately undressei and went to bed. finally convinced 'hat whatever the mystery of Ilig tins, the White Eagle and the one eyed man, it was boyond my power to solve and profit by it. “IT'S MR. HIGGINS, SIR—HIS WIFE’S PEARL.” * * * Somewhere along toward dawn T was aroused by pounding at my door. I climbed from my bed. threw a dressing gown over my pajamas and opened the door. A ship's officer stood there. “Sorry, sir,” he said, “but would you mind coming to the lounge?” “What's the idea?” I asked. “Ship on fire or somethin?” He smiled deprecatingly. “Nothing like that, sir. but one of the passengers has lost some jewelry. Rather a valuable trinket.” "Well, what's that to do with me?” I demanded. “Nothing, sir, I hope,” he replied. “But the gentleman Insists tharf; all persons who passed by the door of his cabin tonight submit to

a search. It's Mr. Higgins, sir—his wife's pearl; you and three other gentlemen have cabins in this corridor. To reach your rooms you have to pass by the Higgins' suite. The steward on watch swears tha: no other people have entered the corridor since Mr. and Mrs. Higgins retired.” "And because I happen to have i cabin in the same quarter of the chip with Higgins, I'm to be in ulted by that swine, am I?” I cried. The officer became more a polo otic. "Swine is right, sir. hut I ope you’ll make it easy for us. Os ourse, you have a right to refuse, lit thet will only cause trouble on he dock, The captain presents his ■ompiiments, sir. and hopes that ou will waive your rights and help lim to avoid scandal for the ship's ake.” "If you put it that way, to oblige he captain—certainly,” said I. I followed hint down the corridor, icross an open space and into the ounge. There were Mr. and Mrs. Higgins and their servants; also there were two Englishmen, with whom 7 had struck up a casual acquaintance, and to whom I nodded now. And then I saw the third of the gentlemen to whom the ship's officer had referred. It was the one-eyed man. • * • We all submitted so a search. We handed over the keys of our baggage to an officer. Half an hour later iit rett’rnod with the statement that he had searched all our effects and found no trace of the missing pearl. Then one of the Englishmen did what I had been wanting to do. He walked over to Higgins. "We've heard your story," he said. “Y'ou returned from the concert, you and your wife. She took off her jewels and laid them on a table in her cabin. She then went into-your cabin, to talk to you. When she returned to her own room, five minutes later, the Ranee's Pearl was gone. Someone had opened the door and stolen it.” “And It must have been someone in one of the cabins on the corridor," cried Higgins. “That's what you say," said the Englishman. “It doesn’t matter to a vulgar beast like you that you Insult yom betters. Now, we’ve all been searched, and none of us has your filthy pearl. I merely want to tell you that I'm glad you lost it, and that I hope the ios3 teaches you anttj'our wife the vulgarity of ostentation. Good evening, sir” He turned on his heel, followed by his compatriot, and stalked, with what dignity a man in a bathrobe may achieve, from the lounge.

The one-eyed man came close to Higgins, and in rapid French as sailed him. And then, suddenly, 1 understood. Not Higgins' mannei told mei-the plutocrat acted Ills part too well. But the light of one of the electric lamps flashed on the French man's face, and the mystery that bad been pt zzling me for a week was solved at last. 1 went hack to bed, neither re proaching Higgins, nor paying any attention to his perfunctory apologies. I slept soundly, happily, as one should who knows that on the mot ow lie will acquire a fortune. With the other passengers I disembarked next day. I submitted to Unusual examination of my baggage. 1 -aw the reporters buzzing about the Higginses, and knew that the afternoon headlines would be devoted to the loss of the precious Ranee's Pearl. I chuckled as I thought of the story that could he written, but would not he printed in the newspapers. You see. I had no doubt as to my success. 1 had pierced the dis guise of opportunity. Outside the customs shed I followed the porter with my baggage to a taxi. I told the chauffeur to drive my things to the Hotel Regina, took his number to assure myself of his honesty, and then waited. In a few minutes tHe one-eyed man arrived. His porter handed his bags to a taxi driver. The one-eyed man climbed into the cab. And I climbed in after him. He would have expostulated, save that I pressed something against his ribs, the something being the muzzle of an automatic pistol. The driver did not see this play, and when I told him that I would accompany his passenger, made no objection. He closed the door upon us, climbed into his seat and started the cab. “What do you demanded the one-eyed man. I smiled cheerfully at him. “Your right eye.” I told him. I pressed the muzzle harder against his chest. “No use in crying out; It would be jail for you even if you live,” I warned him. ■ There, in the center of crowded West St., he removed his glass eye and handed it to me. At the next corner I knocked on the window, and the chauffeur stopped. I alighted, waved an airy adieu to my one-eyed friend, and strolled blithely across town, a little later to pick up a taxi and drive to the Regina. Afraid of pursuit? Had I not already conquered the one-eyed man? Afraid of the police? AVould Higgins, who had conspired at the simulation of a robbery, in order to avoid I the payments of a tremendous duty, confess his own attempt at crime?

OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS

For the minute that I had discovered the whereabouts of the Ranee's Pearl. I understood why Higgins had discussed business with the White Eagle. The millionaire's notorioius parsimony had caused him to invoke the supercrook's aid at defrauding the customs. That was the only possible explanation of all that had bewildered me. How had I discovered the whereabouts of the pearl? Simply enough; the one-eyed man's glass eye had been gray in the smokeroom; it was green when the electric light flashed upon it in the lounge. Instantly I understood why the White Eagle had printed his bizarre advertisement. Among the applicants for membership in his club, he had found the criminal willing to aid him, in his furtherance of the delire of Josiah Higgins to defraud his government. Would the one-eyed man have returned the pearl to Higgins later on, or would he have delivered it to the White Eagle? AVould there have been honor among these thieves? Ask me some easier question. Ask me, for instance, what I did when I arrived at my room in the Regina. I will tell you: I deftly took apart the two halves of the green glass eye which had been surrendered to me. and I kissed the Ranee’s pearl. I had been right in my theory. AA'here the carrion lies, the vulture flies. (Beginning in Our Next Issue: “Button, Button.") Gone, but Not Forgotten ....
