Cummins, has completed a coast to coast economy run, with fuel oil costing >7.63. The car traveled 3,774 miles, used 109 gallons of fuel pH, and averaged 34.6 miles to the gallon.

That Italy intends to wage a predatory war on Ethopia, is now admitted to be a certainty. Notwithstanding the fact that Italy and Ethopia are both members of the League ' of Nations, and are signers to many other pacts guaranteeing the independence of Ethopia Italy under Mussolini is going to seize a large portion of Ethopia The futility of peace pacts is again held up for all to see. Os course there are some extreme pacifists who will refuse to see the futility of peace pacts. But if Ethopia had a well trained army equipped with modern implements of warfare, Mussolini would not be so eager to find some pretext to fight Ethopia. * Human nature does not change so rapidly that any nation can afford to disband its army and navy.

Serving of any of the above species of game fish by hotels, restaurants boarding houses or eating houses constitutes a violation of the law unless the fish served was caught by the guest, patron or boarder to whom it is served. The serving of fish by hotels, resturanis, boarding houses and eating houses is defined by a law as a sale, except when prepared for and served to the person catching the fish. The sale and purchase of these species of fish has been unlawful inIndiana for several years but the statute was difficult to enforce as it specified ’native* game, fish and attempts to enforce the law were met by claims that the fish in question were not taken from Indiana waters, therefore not covered by the law. In the law amended during the 1935 session of the General Assembly, the protected fish are named by species, with the provision that the law applies in this state whether the fish were taken in Indiana or some other state. ' Enforcement of the situation will be a blow to illegal taking of game fish by market fishermen as the buyer of the protected species is equally guilty with the seller. The statute will be enforced throughout the state with the cooperation of mem here of conservation clubs, who had an active part in the passage of the revised taw. One statistician has figured it out that 86 per cent of the liquor prod ead in the world is bought by but who p.„ for il!

Old and New Testament Manuscripts Destroyed I The original manuscripts of both the i Old and New Testaments bare long , since perished. The present form of the Hebrew text of the Old Testament j Is that of the Massoretic text, the date | of which is usually placed somewhere j between the Sixth and Eighth cen- j turies. This text probably became established as early as the Second cen- | tury, but even this earlier date leaves 1 a long gap between the original writ- . Ings and the present text, says a writer ; in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Except for a few fragments all the manuscripts used by the early Christians have vanished. When in the Fourth century the Roman empire became Christian, copies of the Scriptures wore multiplied in the form of the codex, or book, on vellum. Two such, dating from the Fourth century itself, and each originally containing what Was regarded as a whole Bible, survive. Whole Bibles, even New Testaments, were always rather uncommon. Generally the four Gospels made one volume, the Pauline Epistles another; Acts, with the other Epistles, Is sometimes found bound up with the Pauline Ejdstles. sometimes separate. Counting fragmeifts. there are approximately Greek manuscripts whose existence has been reported, dating from the Fourth century to the invention of printing, the greater number coming from the Eleventh to the Fourteenth centuries. The only two existing Fourth century Bibles are the Codex Slnaiticus. which belongs to the British museum and the Codex Vatleanus which Is in the Vatican In R«»me. Next to these the oldest Bible manuscript is the Alexj andrinus dating from the Fifth century and also in the British museum. Damascus, Capital City, . Always Hotbed of Strife Enshrouded in the hoary locks of antiquity lie the obscure beginnings of Damascus, 4 capital of Syria, the oldest rity (now Inhabited) In the world. In Genesis Damascus is mentioned in the description of a battle between four kings on one side and five on the other. In this fight it appears Abram had a great time chasing the routed kings to Hobah. Damascus has beei; attacked and defended, captured, burned, ami re-built. During tb * Egyptian suzerainty over Palestine In the Eighteenth dynasty Damascus was the capital of the small province of Übi. King David, we are told, once got piqued with the place and attacked It. killing 20.000 Syrians and enslaving the inhabitants. Later a warrior named Rezon captured Damascus, and for years pestered King Solomon more than all his 1,000 wives. Damascus Is mentioned in the New Testament in connection with the conversion of St. Paul and his escape from Aretas, the governor, by being lowered over the wall in a basket. Damascus was captured in 1126 by the Crusaders. but soon slipi»ed away again. Later, alrnf cane the Mongolians, the Turks, and the Egyptians. Finally, in 1840. the Turks got a stranglehold on the place, and 20 years later 3,000 Christians were slaughtered in the city. About 200,900 people live in Damascus. —Tit-Bits Magazine. Halibut’s Eyes Migrate The halibut and all other members of the flatfish family are hatched from the egg with eyes symmetrically placed on each side of the head, but at an early stage in the development the eye of the side which will be the under side of the adult fish moves over to the side which will be uppermost. Before this migration of the eye the young swim in a vertical position like other fishes, but after the change they swim horizontally on one side or the other, according to the sj>ecies. In the halibut the eyes and color are on the right side of the fish.

TIMELY TEXTS. By John A. Pettit. 1 Luke 15:1-3: Then drew near unto Jesus all the Publicans and Sinners (the wicked people of his | day) for to hear him. And the i Pharisees and scribes (the rightleous people of his day) murmured, saying, “This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them.” Perhaps it has been ever thus. The evil, the wicked people, gathered around him, the good people, drew away from him, and hated him, repelled by his liberal spirit Perhaps then, as now, there was more real goodness amongst some of the sinners, than there was among some of the saints. The people of the Christian Church today are often accused of self-righteousness. I suspect that there are anany modern Christians who feel that because they are following ideals that are high and noble, because they are holding aloft tremendously inspiring ideals, because they are living ‘respectable’ lives —that they are a little better than the common herd. Most people suffer considerably from a tendency to pat themselves on the back for their Christianity, and most of us are in constant danger of over-ap-preciating our saintliness. But that is far from the real spirit of Jesus of Nazareth, and it can scarcely be called Christian by the wildest stretch of the imagination. Os one thing we must be certain. Jesus’s religion was a religion for sinners. He came, as he said, "to call, not the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Christianity is in essence a religion of restoration and reclamation It takes debased lives, and lifts them out of the mires of folly; it sets men free from themselves, and makes them better individuals «4han thfey were before they caught a glimpse of God’s love and forgiveness. Jesus spent his entire ministry working with the outcasts the scum, the offscourings of society. Many of his intimate friends were people whom modern Christians might snub in the streets. And he worked with sinners, because they were the ones who most needed him. As he said, “there is more joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety and nine just persons, who need no repentance. ” One wonders if the Church of today has not strayed from the path i her Master trod. It seems to me that Christianity has grown too respectable in recent times. It is no longer a health-resort for sinners; it is often a filling station—a filling station for self-righteous people, a filling station, if you please, dispensing false pride, mock piety and destructive hypocrisy to conceited fools. These closed-corporation Churches, excluding “questionable characters” are flying false colors; the Church of Jesus Christ is always a Church whose doors, and whose hearts, are opened to sinners Two things the Christian Church needs to remember today: First— The religion of Jesus is a religion for reclaiming men and women from sin. We should be anxious that the worst of" men should be present in our Churches, rather than always seeking the upright, respectable folk for our membership. For after all, if the sinners are to be saved from themselves through the knowledge of Christ, surely they should be welcome in the Church, where of all
