- GROWTH OF COMMERCE: The great manufacturlng' rations, the great pr‘oducing nations, such as Great Britain, Germany, France and the Urited States combined, have not more th;{ﬂ“one-sixth the population of the globe, and it can be said with approximate accuracy that the other five- > aﬂfths_ are to a very .g;eat' degree ‘'their customers, says the Cincinnati “Enquirer.- Fully one:half of the world's 'pop\_ﬂ:ition are as yet only fractionally sunplied with .articles hnecessary for “clvilized existence. The 70,000,000 of people to the south of us on the Amer~fcan continent when fully employed, @8 some day they will be, in produc“dng from-their l&nds, their forests and their ‘mines, will make our-manufac-turers wealthy through their demands ~for_what our owh Industrial districts. can output. Commerce is pushing its way up ever'y. great and small river of South America, it is crossing the ‘Andes over a thousand trails, and where but one railway across ‘South ‘America from oeean to ocean now runs, within a score of years there wil be several other lines from the “Pacific {0 the navigable waters of the . great rivers of the north famd tke center. The world’s. commerce of: today, hugej%_as it seems, is small compared with that of the future either in topngge vr in value. - - -

LY ESIDENTS of New York are ' under thé impression that they g, - live in the most expensive city B W in the world. They even take . a kind of pride in the fact—except at the firSt of the month when the bills come in—and look with something akin to pity on people who are able to exist without spending so much, money. But{ New York must take a back seat {h the matter of expense with Buenos Ayres. . No doubt there are costlier places in the world—mining camps, boom towns and the like. * But for settled regions and established conditions, Buenos Ayres prices seem to those elsewhere like the Metropolitan tower to a: bird cage. 'lf anybody knows of a more expensive place he is advised to keep the knowledge to “himself lest. some foolish New Yorker undertake a visit and never be able to count out his money fast enough to buy a ticket ‘back: T .When you arrive in the capital of the Argentine you are told that you must regard the paper peso just as vou would a quarter at home. This is all very well until you go to the bank for a supply of pesos, when you find that. they cost yoa almost fifty cents apiece. After thai you begin to study the situation, andi come to the relnetant but inevitablei conclusion that yau must adapt your ¥zances to a scale of living from half as much again to twice a 8 much as that in New York Not everything, of course, is higher or even so high, as at home. Food averages about the same, clothing is not a great-deal dearer, carriage hire is less, and jeweiry, which comes in. from France urder an insignificant customs duty, seems like . finding money. But one cannot spend all his time riding in carriages or buying jewelry becaus2 they are relatively inexpensive. Rents are “staggering, laundry is exorbitant, service of most sorts 'is high and fuel is beyond the dreams of avarice. ' e Rents are probably at the bottom of most of the other high prices. They are more than double what they are on the island of Manhattan. This, too, without apparent reason. Buefios Ayres is located on the edge of an endless plain, with ample room to spread out in three directions, and.land. does not nearly approach in cost that of New York. For property on the Avenida de Mayo, the principal street, 1,200 pesos a square meter would be regarded as a high price. - This works out at about $5O a square foot, A plot at Broadway and Wall street was sold a few years ago at twelve times that figure. : ’ " g A photographer from Detroit, who is ‘npow a resident of Buenos Ayres, pays 230 pesos a month, or $lOO, for a sev-en-room apartment on the Calle Peru, not at all a fashionable district of the city. There-is no heat, hot Water or telephone connection. An ‘Argentine family consisting of a widow and three grown daughters, whose income is the salary of one of the daughter< as school teacher and the earnings of another as dressmaker, pays 300 pesos, or not far from $l5O a month, for eight rooms on the (‘alle Callao. This is a more fashionable section, but by no means. the mwst so.- Like the other apartment mentioned, it has no heat, hot ‘water, elevator or telephone connection, i This family takes in a lodger to help pay the reut, and lives according to ‘the strictest economy. Although the thermometer hovers between 40 and 50 degrees a good part of the winter, the family would consider heating an extravagunce. = - The cost of heating is high, because a good grade of pitroleum retails for .about B 0 cents a gallon, and it takes a gallon a dar to heat a room. Anthracite cozl is not to be obtained, and the English bituminous product costs about four times as much as & simtlar sort in the TUnited States. Wood is scarce and as dear as coal, "~ The only tenable excuse advanced for high rents in Buenos, Ayres is cost of building. Cement Las to be imported from Europe, and pine for intertor woodwork from the United States. Uindoubtedly construction is

expensive, "but not enough so to account for rents. The deeper reason seems, to be that for several years Argentina has been going through a period of rapid-commercial-expansion, with enormous advances.in the value of agriculture and—to a lesser degree —of city lands. Property owners have therefore come to expect and demand unusual profits. If landlords told the truth abouyt high rents, it could be put in a nutshell. “We need the ‘money,” would be the answer. _ " Argentina’s business ig raising food for Europe, but in Buenos Ayres the prices even of the country’s own products are kept up to a standard substantially equivalent to that in New York city. Argentina is the greatest exporter -of meat in the .world, but North Americans living in Buenos Ayres seem to think that it costs them as much at retail as in the United States. It is hard to make exact comparisons, becaus~ the method of cutting is different, and ‘it is common to buy not by : weight, but by the piece. Bread costs as much as in the United States and twice as much as in England, although it is from Argentina that England buys a third of her total supply of wheat and more than half of her corn. . . ) - When' one hears of Buenos Ayres prices he naturally asks, “Are salaries and wages in comparison?”’ Salaries are—wages ate not. That is, using the words in their usual sense, salaries meaning payments to men who wear collars at their work and wages the returns of those who labor in overalls. There are only two classes in Buenos Ayres—upper and lower. The self-respecting middle class—the backbone of the United States—does not exist. Persons who would constitute ‘such a body in one of vwur communities expend their efforts in Buenos Ayres hanging on by the -eyelids to the upper fringe, or else give up the struggle and sink down into the submerged other half. . g . " That the business and professional clases of Buenos Ayres have money to spend, and Q{icupy themselves ir spending it, one has every evidence. “Ten years ago. in Paris,” a Frenchman remarked to me, “when we spoke of. wealthy pedple it was of the North Americans, the Englisk and the Russians. Now we include the Argentines.” ' There is no other nation im the world . with a population. of 6,000,006 persons which is supporting a metropolis of one and a quarter million inhabitants, and perhaps nowhere else in the world in so small a compass are there so many stores filled with costly merchandise as on the Calleg Florida for the six squares from Rivadavia to Tucuman. , Buenos Ayres is a study in froth. It is the apotheosis of ‘get-ricl}quick suecess—the rapidly matured fruit of a period of unprecedented commercial development, accompanied by soaring land values. It is as far removed from the serene Spanish c¢ity which some picture it as the Rio de la Plata from the Tagus. There s little Spanish about it except the language. Italy -Has® supplied® the most numerous ele.ment in the populatign, England the pital and France t(;le architecture.’ fhe sbusiness section of Buenos Ayres is more crowded, almost as noisy, eqully torn up and just as much pervadd with nervous, futile haste as that of New York. Racially the Argentine capital is a Latin city, but in the mingling of peoples and the rush ta get rich Italian, Spaaiard and Frenchman seem to have forgotten, or been afraid to assert, those national charaeteristics which make them most interesting at home. Nor have they evolved ‘anything as a whole to take the place. Buenos,r’;yres ig' still too young, too ‘driven “-a strident, insistent commercialism to- have achieved an individuality or an atmosphere. ) The dominant commercial spirit is sometimes trying even to one who has ‘been brought up In our cities. In seeking to explain or laud their home to the stranger, the Bonaerenses always dwell on the money side. Prosperity with a big P is the burden cf their remarks. , . ‘ * ARTHUR H. WARNER.

JEREMIAH CAST " INTO PRISON

LESSON TEXT.—Jeremiah 37. MEMORY VERSE, 15. ) . GOLDEN TEXT.—*"Blessed are ve, when men shall revile. you, and persecute You. and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for.my sake.”" —2atf, 5:11. - CTIME of this lesson was 13 L HNS-3588, 1§ vears li'ft%’l‘ our last lesstin during the last siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar. from the 9th to the 11th vearn Jof Zedekiah's reigh. . . - ' PLACE.—Jerusalem, surrcunded by the tesieging armies of the ¢haldeans, and suffering from famine and pestilence (Jer. 28:2). : . v Jeremiah had prophesied neariy 40 yeurs (since €2u) and was a prematurcly old mall. i Zedekiah avas the last king of Judah, reiching 11 yvears. . e Nebuchadnezzar, 18th ;and IMth year of his reign. . - ) ) Jehoiakim reigned six -vears after he had. butned the roll-of Jeremiah's prophecies, which, like the. tabled plroeniz rose anew and fresbhb from the ashes. He was slain in 597, - The first blow of the. threatened dcom of Judah had falen during the ‘fo"urlh vear of his rcizn, the first tolling "of the bell of judzment which should have summened the very dead in ¢in to awake. But they-gave no heed. . . ’ ) . Jehoiachin, his son. ascended the throne, a bad, weak hoy. utterly unfit 10 cope, with the situation. IHis: reignlasted only three months. Upen Jehoiachin descended the' full force ot the divine vengeance - incurred by previous generations. He was scarcely on' the throne when thé Chaldean forces, which had been ravaging Ju‘dea, were joined by Nebuchadnezzar l{lmself. andj'closed groiind. Jerusalem, and Jéhoiachin surrendered at discretion. Tl?e arm of Babylon raised to strike hig father fell.on him. and fulfilled the prophecy against Jeholakim. “He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David.” Jehoiachin was kept a prisoner in Babylon for 37 vears and was then released. Ezekiel was carried away with him, and ihe great-grandfather of Mordecaj, Queen Esther’s cousin. ) . This was the second hlr)\e of divine judgmentf@he beginning of the second captivity,. when 10,000 people were carried captive to Babylon. Among them were .the king's wives and officers, and 7.000 that were lstrm‘:g and apt for war. and 1.000 craftsmen; and a ’large part of the 5,490 vessels of gold and silver from the Temple and palaces. The policy- of Nebuchadnezzar was to remove out of the way all those who might be able to organize a revolt when he and his army had departed. Such men it would have been ‘dangerous to leave behind.. Tt would seem as if all this would have heen euflicient to prévail on .the .people to repent and be saved. . Zedekiah, the brother of Jehoiakin, was placed upon the tarone by Nebushadnezzar, '‘a shadow king over a desperate band eof men. During the first nine years of his reign the nation, instead of embracing the opportunity® of repentance, plunged: more deep’y into folly. The dregs of.the ‘people, left behind in Jerusalem, laid this flattering unction to .their souls: “We have been spared by Jehovah, therefore -we are righteous in his sight.” ) - o

During a brief respité while Nébuchadnezzar left Jerusalem free while he fought the Egyptians Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the voland of Benjamin. His home was at Anathoth in Benjamin, three or four miles north of the city.. It was apparently to secure his share of the tithes and produce of the Levitical glebe of the village, due to him as one of its priests. Knowing that the Chaldeans would return, it was imperative that he should obtain the means of -subsistence, to take back into the city, s 0 soon to be beleagured afresh. Others think it was to secure himself in the possession of an -inheritance. There was a natural rush to get -out of _the city after so long a -confinement. Jeremiah went with the others. “When. Jeremiah was in-the gate -of Benjamin, the north gate of the city, {that by which any -me would .go. to {the country of Bepjamin which adjoined Jerusalem, a guard said: “'Thou fallest 'away to the Chaldeans; you are trying to desert to the enemy.” ‘His well known prophecies.of the destruction of the city, and advice that the people should yield the city to the Chaldeans; gave color to this adcusation. : _ I Then said Jeremiah: “Falsé! A lia! [ fall not'a way to the Chaldeans.” He was arrested by the guard, and ‘brought to the princes, the officials of the government, who were wroth with Jeremiah. ‘He had compared them .to rotten figs. He was the strongest and most resolute opponent of their war policy. " But for him they would have bad it all their own way. Jeremiah was placed in a dungcon under the prison building. . Jerusalem was honey-combed with subterranean cisterns, vaulted or arched overhead, ‘and cabins, vaults, the subterranean, arched spaces of a cistern, containing ‘water. g : At last Zedekiah, the king, secretly ‘took him out to inquire: “Is there any Wword from the Lord?” Jeremiah replied: “There is.” The word was: “Thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.” At Jeremiah's request, and to escape from the guilt of being the murderer of the prophet, Zedekidh had him cared for in the court of the guard, and supplied him with daily bread. We are not all called to be,martyrs, but all are called to have the martyr spirit, to be ready to suffer for the Lord and the coming of his kingdom. There are mahy martyrs not known to history, but whose names are recorded in heaven, o o Persecution is the very opposite of Christianity. Christianity bears burdens, persecution loads them on. Christianity loves, and persecution hates. Yet persecutors are often well-mean-ing men. Jeremiah's enemies thought they were patriots and he was a traitor. It is easy even for a Christian te persuade himself that he is right and his opponents are so terribly ‘wrong that they must be suppressed by force instead of argument, by worldly weapons instead of fruth.

He says: “For the past 5 years Grape:Nuts has been a prominent feature in our bill of fare. ) P . “The crisp food with the delicious, nutty flavor has become an indispensable necessity “in my family’'s everyday life. : “It has proved to be most healthful and beneficial, anid has enabled us to practically abolish pastry "ard pies from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and unwholesome food. ) rape-Nuts keeps.us all in perfect ptg}ﬁical condition—as a preventive of disease it is beyond value. I have been particularly impressed by the beneficial effects of Grape-Nuts when used by ladies who are troubled with face blemishes, skin eruptions-%etc.. It clears up the complexion wonderfully. “As to its nutritive qualities, my experience is that one small dish of Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for breakfast, which is an important consideration for anyone. It satisfies the appetite afid strengthens the power of resisting' fatigue, while its use involves none of the disagreeable comsequences that sometimes follow a meat breakfast.” Name given by Postum Co,, Battle Creek, Mich, 'Read the little book, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. “There’s a reason.” Ever read the above letter?
