Toklo. Japan, Aug. 10.—The Inslat'
eni refusal of the Chinese government
to live up to the-aplrlt of the treaties
made with Japan and the United
States to open Antung and seventeen
other Manchurian-cities as places of
International residence and trade, Is
causing unfavorable comment In gov
ernment circles here.
china contends that the opening of
'.Mukden means the opening of an un
occupied area outside the city, and that
foreign trade and residence be confined
to that area. Furthermore she Insists
that goods entering Mukden from that
area shall be’ llnble to all duties and
taxes which China may continue to
Imimse, as hitherto.

court In refusing to testify In the
franchise election frauds Investigation
are still In Jail. William Evans, gen
eral manager of the Tramway Com
pany, may Join them. He wae sub-
penaed to appear In Judge Lindsey’s

opened. The box containing ballots on
the proposed otdlhmnce tor 1f¥ ’ ate

between the poll books and the num
ber found In the box. In the box con
taining ballots on the proposed ordi
nance for the purchase by the city of
an electric light plant there were
found lit for and 185 against. Ths
poll books showed only 178 persons
voted.
The municipal ownership party claim
that the same evidence of collusion be

to doctor the returns will be found In
every precinct.

I will return unto you, saith the Lord.
—Mai. 3t7.
AMINO of the parables was not
dons by Christ nor by the dts
clples who heard them, but by
men long afterwards who wished to
designate them by some appropriate
name that would express the central
truth of the parable or the leading
character In It A better name could
have been selected for some of them
than the one by which they are gen
erally known. A better name for the
Sower" would have been "The Dif
ferent Kinds of Soil." That of the
"Rich Man and Laxarua" had been bet
ter named "The Danger of Unbelief."
The parable In our lesion la generally
known as that of the "Prodigal Son."
The International committee has chosen
to call It ths "Parable of the Tw
Sons." The elder brother has been
sufficiently recognised to be mentioned,
and that Is all. Read the parable and
Its exposition In all the let.ion helps,
and you will And that all they have to
■ay Is shout the younger son. In many
of them the elder is not mentioned.
Most of preachers have a series of ser
mons _on the prodigal son and haVe
never preached on the elder brother.
Visit the picture galleries of the old
world and
of the
brother __ __ ,
the poems that have been written.
The truth of the matter Is that the
elder brother Is the principal character
In the picture, and the atory of the
prodigal Is only the bsckground.
Preachers and posts and painters
have reversed this. In nearly every
Instance, and It may be all, the
ble was suggested by something Jesus
saw, or heard, or read In the hearts of
His hearers. It Is not always recorded,
but It Is In this as In many others.
Why Hs spoke this parable was I
cause He consorted with publicans and
sinners. Ills object was to reprove the
natiirs. bear our alas and die of a
broken heart on Calvary.

In the character of the
and Inspire hope In the heart of the
Gentiles In the father's treatment of
the prodigal. He had come 'To seek
and save the lost," and both these sons
were lost—the one In the "far country"
and the other In the father's house. He
would portray God'a love In the treat
ment of both. This Is generally re
garded as the pearl of all the parables
the great teacher strung on the thread
of his discourses. It is ths climax of
the three parables spoken on this oc
casion near the close of Hla ministry;
the silly wandering sheep, the Insen
sate coin and the self-willed son. All
lost and all found.
All lost not only here, but In all His
teachings Chrtst emphasised the great
truth that we are all lost. VVe live In
lost world, and we belong to. a lost
race. How would we be found or
saved unless we had been lost? If man
had not been lost Christ's coming' to
earth would be like throwing ropes and
lifeboats to a man on dry land, where
there could be no possibility of his be
ing drowned. God Is a God of econo
my. He never makes a useless expend
iture of 'force In nature, providence or
grace. He would never had sacrificed
His Son and Jesus would never have
left His home In glory to assume our
cldenla with which they were familiar,
and many.eyea were tilled .with tears,
and many hearts throbbed with pain, aa
they thought of some wandering boy,
between whom and them, no matter
' long absent, or widely separated,
the cable tow of love, woven with
strands of Joys and griefs, had never
been severed. The younger son. Ilka
many a boy today, had become Jtred
of the parental restraints of hom< and
ha wanted to go out and see the world;
hare a good time, and “sow his wild
oats." Unwilling to wait for his fath
er's death to get hla share of the estate,
he asks tor It now. This request was
granted, and with his mother's prayers
and hla father’s blessing he goes to the
“far country," and, like hundreds of
young men In our land today, he be
gins a Ufa of dissipation and wanton
ness. A father’s saving of many years
Is soon expended. With his money gone
bis friends are gone. At last he came
to. want. He Is too proud to go home
and confess his prodigality and ask
forgiveness. If he ever returns, he wants
to go looking as well as when he left.
But he must do something or starve.
There Is no alternative. So he hires
out to some man to take care of hla
hogs, ths most menial occupation. He
Is so nearly starved that he was willing
to eat the "husks," the beans that grew
on the carnb tree (Upt were fed to the
hogs. When a man la reduced to that
condition he Is apt to think of home.
In hla waking thoughts and In his
dreams he has visions of ths boyhood
home. He sees the tears In his moth
er's eyes aa aha kissed him goodby; he
tones of his father’s words of
The boy Is pretty safe who In memory
Is ever anchored to his childhood's
home.
Plenty In the Father's house and
poverty In the far country. This
brought him to himself. Sin Is a spe
cies of madness or Insanity. He had
been beside himself. Every mnn comes
to himself before he comes to'- God.
He realises that he Is a sinner, that he
Is lost, that he has wandered from the
Father’s house, that the world cannot
satisfy the soul.
The good resolution to arlso and go
to hla father Immediately followed. He
would go and confess his sins and seek
forgiveness. He has forfeited sonshlp,
and would be willing to perform the
most menial service. He not only re
solved, but he acted. Delay meant
starvation, death. Good resolutions, If
not put In effect never cured a drunk
ard, never Hived a sinner.

It was enough for him that hla boy had
returned. The father's heart had been
wounded, but the father's love had
never changed. Then the aon makes
confession and craves the place of
servant, but the father says,' "No, you
have come back to your father’s house,
you shall be my eon, you shall again
fill the place In the home that has
been vacant since you left."
And then commands the servants to
brine In the best robe and substitute
It for the rags; and put a ring upon
his hand. The seel ring that waa only
worn by freemen; "and shoes upon hla
feet," a command that Indicated more
than a tender regard for him, whose
bare, bleeding feet touched the father's
heart. Tho servants and slaves wore
no shoes, and were thus distinguished
from the members of the family. This
meant that he wae not to be regarded
as a servant, but a eon, with all the
privileges of sonshlp: that he who bad
never lost his place In the father e

The Elder Brother.
When he came In from the field,
heard the muelo and tha dancing, and
when by Inquiry of one of the serv
ants, learned the cause he would not
go In and stood outside and pouted.
Then the father went out and tiled to
persuade him ,10 come In. The spirit
ho manifested waa one of envy and
selfishness. It was abnormal, unnat
ural. It was treating the father worse
limn the prodigal aver did, nnd must
havo mads a greater draft upon his
forglvenrsB, and yst hs forgave him.
Ills conduct was causa of greatsc grief
than tha prodigal's had arar been. In
him wa have a picture of the Pharisees
who proud of their ceremonial right
eousness, regarded themselves os In

cans and sinners. To show thorn the

He spoke this parable: Willingness
I -give Is the greatest test of love.
Iilghest expression of lovs that
aver fall from the Savior’s lips was
when He prayed on the crow “Father
forgive them; they know not what
they do,” In the father’s treatment of
both sons, we have a picture of God's
lovs for us. The Ood whom we preach
as drawn by the hand, and seen In ths
face of Him whom He sent to seek
and save the lost, to bring us back,
to open a way of reconciliation; the
God who Is not willing that any should
