have not so far given their consent to the mandate. It is hoped that the mat ter will be attended to at the next ses sion in April. Sir Herbert Samuels, High Commissioner over Palestine, has long been urging that the Mandate be registered immediately. He points out that owing to this state of affairs the political condition in Palestine is be coming unbearable. “ As long as the British Mandate,” he said further, “ is not ratified by the Powers, the Arabic leaders will cherish the hope that the Zionist policy may be changed by the British government. Such hope natu rally creates the foundation for all sorts of intrigues from inside as well as out side enemies.” The English administra tion in Jerusalem has applied to the governments of the different countries asking that they recognize the Palestine nationality. The passports of travelers will carry in the future the inscription, “ Palestine Nationality.” This step has been taken notwithstanding the fact that the British Mandate has not been of
ficially sanctioned and Palestine is le gally still a part of Turkey.
WASN’T DAVID A LITTLE PREVIOUS? Where did David get his knowledge of the heavens? Not from Chaldean astron omers. No man but a pupil of Coper nicus could write the Eighth Psalm. Who taught Abraham and David and Jeremiah that the stars were innumera ble? "This fact was unknown in the ancient world of science. The old cata logue of Hipparchus and Ptolemy gives the whole number as 1,026, while Guil- lemin and Proctor say that the maxi- num number in the whole heavens, visible to the unaided eye, is between 5,000 and 6,000. ( “ The Heavens”~r-p. 272.) In the clearest night in this lati tude you can only see 1,160 stars, and at the Equator, the most favorable point for observation, if you were to watch all night you would only see about 3,000. The truth of the Bible has been confirmed by the telescope.— Sel.

STRAIGHT TALK TO THE UNSAVED HE Bible comes to you with a message. The message, if true, is 1 of incomparable value. You are called upon to experience the ?I truth of the message, it consists of truths, or doctrines, concern- § ing God and His nature, man and his condition, the way of salva- | I tion, etc. You are bidden to believe and fully accept the message. There | | are excellent reasons for believing that the message is true. The most con- §. I vincing reason, perhaps, is that Christianity will do for you what it claims | | to do. If you are conscious of personal sin and of an unsatisfactory relation J I to God, Christianity offers a way for fully removing the burden of sin and | | guilt and giving you a deep consciousness of a vital relationship to God, the | I relation of a child to his loving father. The Christian message points out 'J s a way to make you abound in all the fruits of the Spirit. You will be enabled | 1 to lead a life of victory over sin and over the adverse conditions and failures j | of life. When the real tests come which prove the modern conceptions of ¡ | God and of religion to be utterly inadequate, Christianity will make you | | “ more than conqueror.” It will turn your defeats into victories. It will § | make you the stronger spiritually and morally for adverse experiences.— | § John Horsch.
