'PRIMARY TOPIC—Wise Men Visit the Bahy Jesus, J’U&’IOB TOPIC—The Wise Men and the Star. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC «-The First Christmas. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Most Joyeus Day in the Year. : 1. The King Earnestly Sought (vv. 12, : » These Wise Men whosought Jesus were either Arabian or Persian as trologers--students of the stars. The appearance of an unusual Star at tracted their attention. Perhaps thev were acquainted with the.famous prophecy of Balaam (Num. 24:17). Doubtless through the inflience of the Jews who remained in Chaldea, or the direct influence of Daniel extending te this time, they had become ac quainted with the hope of a Messiah. The light they had was dim, but they lived up to the best they had. Teo those who act upon the best light they have, God always gives more. To those who refuse to act upon the knowledge given, God not only re fuses to give more, but brings into confusion that which they already possess (Matt. 25:28). These men were really wise. Let us learn from them: 1. That all true wisdom leads to the Savior, for He is the Logos—the fulness of wisdom. 2. That God’s Word shall not return unto him void (Isa. 55:11). The seeds cast upon the waters of the East brought forth fruit after many days. No work done for the Lord eventually fails. 8. The grace of God ealls men from unexpected quarters. Some who have the least opportunities give the greag est honors to Christ; while others, blessed with the richest opportunities, shut Him out, 1. Herod Seeking to Kill the King {vv. 3-8). The news brought by the Wise Men struck terror to Herod's heart. He was not alone in this, for all Jerusalem was troubled with him. The news ought to have brought joy. A glimpse at the social customs ig and about Jerusalem at that day will enable us to understand why this news brought uneasiness to the people. They were living in the greatest luxury. Fine dresses, sumptuons feasts, fine houses, ete, led to gross immoralities, They dld not want a Savior who would save them from their sins—they wanted to continue in them. Herod demanded of the priests and secribes information as to where Christ should be born. They soon were able to tell‘ him. These people had a technical knowledge of the Scriptures, but had no heart for the Savior set forth therein. They had no disposition to seek Him, This all occurred in Jeru salem, the city of the King—the place of all places where He should have been welcomed. It seems where the greatest privileges are, there is the greatest indifference shown .as to spiritual matters, HIl, The King Found (vv. 9-12). The Wise Men having obtained the de #ired information, started immediately to find the King. As soon as they left the city, the star which had guided them from the East appeared again to lead them on. Not that it had disappeared from the sky, but the dwellings of the city, no doubt, shut( out the sight of it. Oftentimes our spiritual vision is obscured or hidden by the things of this world. The star guided them to the place where the Christ was. Those who earnestly seek Jesus shall find Him, though all hell oppose. When they found Him they worshiped Him. In this they displayed true faith. They did not see any miracles, only a babe, yet they worshiped Him as King. “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20:29). Note God’s overruling providence in all this. Many hundred years before, the prophet said that Christ should come from Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). God so ordered affairs that Mary should be brought to that city tc give birth tg¢ Lhrist. God so ordered that these men should depart another way, there. defeating Herod's wicked purpose. - Lord put gifts into the hands of - and Mary before going tc.

Washington, D. C., December 20, 1921— Twenty-two large Eastern steel corporations, among them the Cambria, Bethlehem and Midvale icompanies, have sued for an injunc tion against the Federal Trade Com mission to prevent the commission from forcing them to submit question lmireg. regarding the steel industry. it was announced by the corporations thhat they will not be forced into perniitting the commission to pry in. to their private affairs and will be prepared for any drastic action to which the wommission may resort. Many authorities were submitted on both sides, the government conten ding that the Federal Trade Com mission has been invested with autho rity by Congress to make demand on the corporations. The corporations contend that they have alredy agreed to submitting questionaires regard ing their interstate commerce, but re fuse point blank to divulge trade se crets and processes. IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION Production of all kinds of finished rolied iron and steel in the United States for the calendar year 1920 amounted to 32,347,863 gross tons, of which nearly 15 per cent was ex ported. In the year 1919 slightly bet ter than 18 per cent of the total pro duction went out as exports. Total exports of iron and steel for 1920 were valued at approximately $1,112- 000,000, representing a little more ‘than 13 per cent of the entire export trade of the United States for that year. (PUTTING BUSINESS INTO ’ COVERNMENT The fact thaht the creation of com jmodity and technical divisions in the Bureau of Feoreign and Domestic Commerce has been welcomed by the reat industrial organizations of the country and is proving valuable to them is shown by the extent to which such -bodies are actively co operating, through committees, with these new divisions, as well as the divisions that previously existed says the Department of Commerce in re leasing a list of business committees referred to. Many of the foremost trade and manufacturing associations of the United tates are now aligned in intimate touch with the activities of the Bereau the Department says —obtaining essential information from it with respect to foreign mar kets, making suggestions regarding effective methods of work. and taking counsel with it in a variety of other matters pertaining to the well-being of American industry. There has Ithus heen established a cordial and mutually beneficial relationship be tween the Government agency charg ed with trade promotion and the repre sentatives of the firms actually en gaged in export business and vitally concerned in its properity. The ex tent of this co-operation is indicated in the summaries covering the divis ions of Agricultural Implements, Au tomotive. Electrical-Eauipment, Iron and Steel, Foodstuffs. Relations Com. mittee, Lumber, Ru}‘)}e)er. Shoe and Leather, Specialties, Textile, Commer cial laws, Reseach and Investment and Finance. | . PROPOSES CURB ON DRUGS The recent introduction of a res olution requesting the armament con ference to take. steps to suppress in trenational traffic in habit-forming Arugs, is proposed by Representatives Julius Kahn, of California, chairman of the House military affairs com mittee. Action is needed particularly he said, to check the traffic of opium in China. RADIO The use of radio on American ves sels has increased rapidly since 1914 when there were 555 vessels equip ped compared with 2,978 in 1921, an increase of 437 per cent. The total Ilnumber of radio stations of all kinds, with the exception of ameteur receiv ling stations which are not required to {be licensed, was 10,355 in 1920 and 112,258 in 1921. |OUR COMMERCIAL INVASION OF THE ORIENT SECTION | This official record of the growth 'lof India’s importations from the Uni-| Ited States, says Trade Record of the ;\"xti(>xu:xl City Bank, is illustrative of | {the growth in the share which the Orient generally is making in our ex- | port trade. Prior to the war, thel 'share of our exports sent to Asia as ia whole was only 4.8 per cent, .ui";m-‘ |cing to 6.4 per cent in 1916, 7.6 nnrl icent in 1918, 8.9 in 191_, 9.3 in 1920 fand 10.1 per cent in the ten months 'of 1921 for which figuies arve Hu\‘.’{ | 2vailable. The total value of our ex- | ‘ports to Asia advanced from $ll3. ‘ 000,000 in 1914 to $772,000,000 in 1920 and will be about $500,0600,000 in the calendar year 1921. The fall off in the exports to Asia in October 1921, the latest month for which fig ges are available, is far less than to any other of the grand divis the reduction in October sa a having been less tha when compared gu )5t vas nenott B¢l , g 0,600, & il | CRUDE OIL OUTPUT LARGER ' Crude oil production in the United States for the week-ended December 3, averaged 1,330,310 barrels daily compared with 1,327,880 barrels in the previous week and 1,291,915 bar rels in the corresponding week last year. ' SEES CRISIS IN EDUCATION | ‘A crisis exists in American edu cation which is fully as acute as that which exists in the business world, “according to the new Commissioner of Education. The extent of illiteraey among native Amerieans, the inabil ity of large numbers of the people to understand our language or to ap preciate our institutions and ideals, the failure to provide proper training for young people on the farms, the lack of efficient means of physical education, and the necessity for bet ter methods for school financing are among the most serious problems that he finds confronting Americans of this generation. The Bureau of Education is constantly called upon for advice and guidance in all these matters, says Commissioner John James Tigert. More than two-thirds of the schools of the United States are rural schools. Mr. Tigert obser ves: “Notwithstanding the efforts that have been put forth in their be. ‘half during recent years, they still ,constitute the most unsatisfactory part of our public school system. It is in the country that the greater part |°f the illiteracy among native Ameri ycans is found. | FOREIGN TRADE [ Exports from the United States for | October were smaller than for any of' the other months of 1921 except Feb ruary and March, while imports in to the United States during the same the previous high record for the vear made in February, says the Transpor tation Division of the Department of ,Commerce. The total volume of for ‘eign trade, inciuding oil, amounted to 6,427,413 long tons, or slightly be 'low the monthly average for the first iten months of this year. COMMERCIAL FAILURE REPORT l The continued wide margin of in crease in number of failures over last year’s comparatively moderate ‘mortality is evidenced by the 1,341 defaults reported to R. G. Dunn & Company during the three weeks of November as against 746 in the same wveriod of 1920. The returns for October, the latest month for which complete statistics are available dis close 1.713 commercial insolvencivs‘ in the United States. involving $53,- 058,659 of labilities. Aside from | January, the number of October fai]-! ures is the largest of any month thiﬁ:i vear and the indebtedness exceeds that of all the months except May' March and February. FUTURE TIMBER SUPPLY ‘ The Forest Service has initiated his year an important step toward the | restoration of America’s forests, de. clares the Chief Forester in his an nual report. He explains that this is a comprehensive study of the re. quirements in protection and refore station necessary to keep forest land productive in each important region of the United States. This study hag been undertaken in the cooperation with State Foresters, timberland | owners, representatives of forest in-‘ dustry organizations and schools forl foresty. Its purpose is to vut in von-| crete terms just what “forestry reg-| ulations” mean, in the sonthern pine | belt, Applachian hardwoods, of thel lake States. Instead of dealing in general terms, it will bring the for estry movement down to specific things which are to be done in the woods, as minimum standards. Itl will thus serve as the basis for any plan of public regulation of forest lands and also aid the landowner who undertakes the growing of timber crops on his own isitiative. \ 'HUNTERS WHO VIOLATE ' FEDL. GAME LAWS PAY ' VERY DEAR FOR SPORT Activity of Federal ame wardens in enforcing the provisions of the mi gratory-bird treaty act resulted in 57 convictions during October and the imposition of fines upon the offenders totaling .$1,282, according to the re. ports of the Biological Survey, Uni ted States Department of Agriculture and in addition, many instances costs greater than the fines were imposed by the courts, ard in one case—that of an offender who offered two wild ducks for sale in South Carolina—a jail sentence of 3 months was meted out and a fine of $2OO was imposed. In addition to the foregoing, 108 cases of alleged violation of the law were reported by Federal game war dens to the authorities for prosecu tion. Offenses against the law dealt with in October varied greatly. A hotel keeper in Missouri who sold ducks to his guests was fined $5O; a vender of aigrettes in Virginia was fined $25; hunters in North Gapoling O V-6 GO BLR g , "‘,-‘»,, e THE MARIETTA JOURNAY, in the sume state, convicted of hunt ing dvcks during the close season, paid $25 fine and costs of $44.77 for his illegal sport. Seven Mississippi huntres sought to bsg ducks after dark and were assessed fines of $lO and costs of 827 each. Twenty sports men in Georgia went after doves du ving the close season and were re lieved of $2O apiece. A FRIEND WRITES OF = THE INSPIRING LIFE ‘ OF MR. A. A. GRIGGS (Contributed) Mr. A, A. Griggs died December sth, at Bis home in Macland, Ga. He was 80 years and nine months old. He joined the Methodist church at the age of 14. He spent 62 years of mar ried life. He leaves behind higg, his wife, seven children, twenty g‘and children, and three great-grandchild ren. He served four years in the !civil war. - Such is the story of his life which is all told, the book has been written and we have ccme to the ‘“finis”. As he is laid away we have the sat isfaction that comes at the reading of a good book, one that ends well, ithat ends satisfactorially. His book of life* is filled with no tragic chapters. but all is the story of a,reliable citizen doing his hest to provide for his family, support his country and meet the approval of his Mgster. 'lf we should give vent to feelings, a long letter would be writ ten but as the facts are already told, his life speaks for itself.. We merely hold it up as a paragon for those to follow. There are so many wonderful things being done every day that when' a man says he has a solution of very, very secret nature, with some peculiar metal in it, which puts new life into a battery, nine out of ten people are ready to believe him without question. The whole sceme of battery doping seems so plausible that dozens of companies have been led to start in business manufacturing “dopes” of various sorts. Some of these battery medicines are really harmless, and the worst that can be said about them is that they do no good—except that they re !lfeve. the car owner of about five or tsix . dellars which he might invest in .' @otices, oil, or something else more ‘ tiful to the car. There are otkers i!i:t"'?., do actual harm by taking active materials away from the battery ‘p}ates and by introducing foreign isubstances into the battery solution. As a result of a recent checkup on the subject of battery dopes, the Wil lard Storage Battery Company found that all makers of the standard well known batteries are agreed upon the fact that the only satisfactory bat tery solution is diluted with pure sul phuric acid of the proper density. Emphasis should be placed on the ’v.{ord “pure” for any foreign substan -85" are liable to cause trouble in the "battm_v. There is nothing, say these manufacturers, that will improve up on the pure solution that is put into the battery by the manufacturers and their authorized service stations. The sum and substance of a battery builders’ advice to owners that the way to keep a batterty in condition is to put water in at regular intervals and keep it charged when necessary, and to remember that “dope”’—what ever there may be in it—can never take the place of proper attention. advt. | h <S4S s ; v_ g, - i f o. # P .. 3 > ; Y pot ." ..‘., : B [ ] .o' e ST :.o‘ ‘.' ‘% : ’ 5 ..
