Welcome Rain The rain of last week was very welcome to the farmers. The wheat was in need of it and corn husking will be made pleasanter—that is if you would dare use the word, pleasant, in connection with husking corn. —Call up the dentist, make an appointment, and save waiting.

Bremen Neutrality From a reliable source we learn that Bremen has a school teacher that compells her scholars to veil, “Hurrah for the Kaiser!” each morning under pain of receiving zero in their grades if they refuse. Rather a questionable proceeding, to our notion. Subscribe for the Journal.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson lll.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 18,1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Mark xiv, 32-42. Memory Verses, 34-36—Golden Text, Matt, xxvi, 41—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Wholly forgetful of Himself and His approaching sufferings, in away that we cannot understand, He comforted that little band with the incomparable words of John xiv, xv, xvi and prayed the prayer of John xvli, such a prayer as was never prayed on earth before or since. Then they sang a hymn and went out into the mount of Olives (verse 26). He went forth over the brook Cedron, because His son Israel had turned against Him and would not have Him (Ex. iv, 22; l‘s. ixxxi, 11). We cannot but think of His father David going forth over the same brook because his son rebelled against him (II Sam. xv, 23), but as truly as David returned and reigne'd when the rebellion was over, 4 so shall the Son of David return and reign when Israel’s rebellion is over. Having entered a garden in Gethsemane (John xviii, 1), He said to His disciples, “Sit ye here while I shall pray,’’ and, leaving eight of them. He took Peter and James and John and. went a little farther and began to be sorrowful and very heavy (verse 33; Matt, xxvi, 37). Putting the three records together as well as we can, it seems to have been like this: He was withdrawn from the three favored disciples about a stone’s cast, saying to them, “My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death. Tarry ye here and watch with me.” Then He went forward a little and kneeled down and fell on His face on the ground and prayed, saying, “O my Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not my will but Thine be done.” And there appeared an angel unto Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And, being in an agony, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. (Matt, xxvi, 37-39; Mark xiv, 33-36; Luke xxii, 41-44.) Then He came to the three and found them asleep and saith unto Peter: “Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest thou not watch with me one hour? Watch ye and pray lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” He went away the second time and prayed the same words, and returned and found them asleep again, and they did not know what to answer Him. He went away and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then He came the third time to the three and said, “Sleep on now, and take your rest, it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.” Then He returned to the eight and found them also sleeping for sorrow, and said: “Why sleep ye? Rise and pray lest ye enter into temptation.” This attempt at a conservative story of that awful night in the garden may not be quite correct in every detail, but it is helpful even to try to do it. Do it for yourself, and you will be blessed in doing it. It is clear that He prayed three times, that He found them three times sleeping. that He sweat, as it were, drops of blood, that an angel strengthened Him, that after His agony He was able to rise up and go to meet His enemies. What shall we say of the favored three who were also with Him at the ; raising of the ruler’s daughter and on the mount of transfiguration and two of them honored to bring to Him the ass’ colt and to prepare the Passover? What about their sleeping at His transfiguration (Luke lx, 32), as well as in the garden, and the fact that neither glory nor suffering can keep such mortals as we are awake? What about the boasting of Peter and then his not being able to watch one hour? Oh, the loneliness of it all on His side! “No man knoweth the Son save the Father.” How can He continue to love such as we are and ever hope to make anything out of us? May His patience with us make us more patient with each other. As to His own experience in the garden we may be quite certain that He was not shrinking from death on the cross, nor was He asking to be delivered from that. We know that the devil tried to kill Him as a babe in Bethlehem and by His own townsmen at Nazareth and possibly, in the storm on the lake, but he could not, for the time had not come. My own conviction concerning His agony and bloody sweat in Gethsemane is that it was another attempt of the devil to kill Him before the time and thus prevent His great sacrifice for sin on Calvary. /The key to it is found in Heb. v, 7, “He offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death and was heard.” It is the record of His third weeping. He prayed to be saved from death, and He was* 'heard and therefore saved from death, the death in the garden which seemed imminent. An angel came to Him and strengthened Him that He might go or. to the cross and finish the great atonement for sin which He came to make. Yet He was willing to leave His work unfinished and die in the garden if His Father should so will It —Let Richhart do your pressing and cleaning. Work and prices are right.

COST OF A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION Thia Could Be Paid Many Times Over by the Savings it Could Effect. The expense of the undertaking Is the objection most commonly made to the holding of a constitutional convention. Indeed, it Is the only argument that has been seriously presented against the convention proposition. The item of expense will honestly appeal to some timid souls. With the main bulk of the opposition, however, it will be put forward as a convenient mask for their more fundamental objections. The argument of expense, nevertheless, should be answered. When the people of Indiana decided in 1851 that the old constitution of 1816 was out of date and that they needed a new constitution, they went ahead and held a convention, regardless of cost. Yet the state was desperately poor then. The convention cost $85,683.05. The need of a convention is far greater now than then, and we are far better able to bear the expense. .Surely it will cost more now, but it is a bigger job and of vitally more importance. The population of the state has more than trebled since then. The Ohio convention of 1912 cost $270,000.00, according to the statement of Mr. Herbert S. Bigelow, president of the convention. There is no reason why a convention in Indiana should cost more. This is a relatively small sum considering that we are a state of more than 3,000,000 people—less than 10c a head. Every legislative session costs more than this, and a non-partisan constitutional convention would be worth more than a dozen legislative sessions in its welfare results to the people. The cost of a convention at this time is the necessary and the inevitable cost of progress and growth. When our old corduroy and creek bottom roads passed out of date, we built modern highways and reckoned not the cost. We spent on roads and bridges in Indiana in the year 1911, $2,846,058.82. Our township road bonds outstanding Dec. 31, 1911, amounted to $23,441,352.37. The total disbursements of our state depart ments and state institutions alone for the year 1912 aggregated $10,995,008. The expenditures for county administration for 1911 were $10,642,488.84 and for towns and cities in the same year $15,060,962.76. Compared to these sums, what shall be said of the insignificant expense of $270,000.00 for a constitutional convention once in sixty-three years? A proper readjustment of our taxation system would effect a saving many times greater than this in a single year, and at the same time would place our enormous tax burden where it properly belongs. Against the tax situation alone, the expense argument is worth no consideration at all. The improvement of our municipal government by an efficient modern system of home rule for cities would unquestionably result in a large annual reduction cost of administration. Experts have declared that the waste incident to our present political system of administration of city government amounts to from 10% to 50% per year. Using the lowest factor, a new constitution could be made the means of saving in a single year three times the cost of the convention. Incalculable saving to the people would be possible through a system of effective control of our public utilities, impossible under the present constitution. A single cent clipped off from the monopoly made street car fare in our cities, for instance, would alone pay for several more constitutional conventions. Reductions in gas and electric rates would provide the wherewithal for still more conventions. An effective workman’s compensation act, now so common in the other industrial states, would effect a large reduction in the cost of administering our courts, to say nothing of the vast sums it would divert from the pockets of the lawyers to the direct relief of the injured workers and their dependent families. But the more important public benefits to come from a constitutional convention can not, and should not, be measured by dollars and cents standards. The progressive political and social legislation that would eventually results from it; the stimulus it would give to the study of public questions; the awakening of interest on the part of the people in the big problems of citizenship, are much the larger factors in this connection.
