A Boy's Essay- ora Ducks

•" A school boy assigned to prepare an essay on ducks, wrote: •-"The-duck is a low, heavy-set bird, composed mostly of meat

I -.'and feathers. He is a mighty poor singer, having a hoarse voice, caused by getting so many frogs in his neck. He likes the water

**on<l< carries -a toy balloon in his stomach " to keep hiih firom'J

sinking. The duck has only two legs and they are set so far " back on his running gears by nature that they came very near

^ missing his body. Some ducks when they get big have curls on : their tails and are called drakes. Drakes don't have to set or hatch, but just loaf, go swimming and eat. If I was to be a duck I'd rather be a drake."

Albia, Iowa. Editor Courier: .

In reply to Carlyle Smith, I did not quote hini as saying the fourth com­mandment wa$ precious. *>It was the printer's mistake, not mine.. Mr. Smith admits the law condemned him be­cause he had broken some of the commandments, but then sdys, the reason he makes so much of the fourth is because it is as binding as the others. Fancy a man condemned for a capital crime, seeking to care­fully observe some of the other statutes and ordinances of the law, as if that would in any way alter the fact that, as a law breaker, he Is con­demned. What are the only two alter-

her sister natives for a condemned man? Pardon or punishment. Tp ignore this and try, by kteeping other parts of the law, to

.be justified is surely trifling with God's verdict of man that all are guilty (Romans 3-19), and with our own souls' welfare by refusing God's way of Justifying the sinner. "Now to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith Is counted for righteousness." (Rom. 4-5.) Mr. Smith often refers to Matthew 5, which is known as the ser­mon on the mount. In verse'17 Jesils says, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets. 1 am not come to destroy but to fulfill. Not one jot or title shall pass from the law till all be fulfilled." This could be true only of Jesus, for all else have broken God's law. (Romans 3-23.) Notice that even while on the cross (John 19-28) he was fulfilling the scriptures when he Bald, "I thirst." While not destroying the 1SV but ful­filling It in the remainder of the chapter, what he sets forth super­sedes the letter of the law. If the law says "Hate your enemy," Christ says "Love your enemy," and so on. My friend refers to what I said about the knell being, tolled, of the legal dis­pensation, and adds, ''If that were true we would not be under any law, could do anything and not be respon­sible." ; «

In Romi&s 7, the apostle says, "The law is holy, just, good and spiritual" Verses 12-14). But man being sinful, dead in trespasses and sins (Ephes-fans 2-1) alienated from the yfe of God (Ephesians 4-18), could not ful­fill the requirements or come up to the standard of such a law; there­fore, because of man's inability to keep it, it could not be the means of bringing life to man. "For if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.But that no man is justified by the lav*' In the sight of God, it is evident/' Galatians 3; 21: 11.) "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith." (Qalatians 3-24.) Again. "Christ, is the end of the law. for righteousness to everyone that believeth." (Romans 10-4.) So that with the coming and death <jf Christ, the law was no longer the medium through which men were to seek life. But thil in no way af­fects the fact that Gqd will hold men

pears to the disciples the first day of the week. Verse twenty-six says, "After eight days came Jesus and stood in the midst." If this is the next first day we have Christ meeting with his disciples two consecutive first days, which would be hard on the Adventists. And so he squirms, but it is no tise. Again I "produce scripture to show verse twenty-six is the next first day. In Second Chron.. 10-5, the king says, "Come again unto me after three days." Then in verse twelve they "Came to Rehoboam on the third day as the kihg bade." In Mark 8-31 Christ says that "After three days he would arise again." While in chapter 10-34, he said he would "Rise the third day." Will Mr. Smith" accuse JesuS of contradicting himself? I think not.

Again, in Matthew 27-62. the Phari­sees come to Pilate and say. "We re­member that deceiver sajj£ while he was yet alive, "After three days I will rise again. Commanfl therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third. They only ask a guard until the third day, though they said he claimed he would rise after three days. Is not this sufficient to show to any fair minded reader that the phrase "After three days," was thor­oughly understood by the Jows to mean the third day, so that the phrasfe "after eight days," was understood as the eighth day, which of course was the next first day? As to God treating us all alike, undoubtedly God is no respecter of persons. That except a man bo born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. "He must be born again." No taking your chance. "He that believeth on him is not con­demned, bue he that believeth not is is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God." (John 3-18.). "He that hath the son hath life. And he that hath not the son of God hath not life." First John 5-12.

WANTS U. S. TO OWN COMPANIES

,\

Des Moines, March 4.—That gov*- * ernment ownership of the express^ companies of the United States Is tha only solution for the express problem,/ -is the belief of Attorney General Cos-v son, who just returned from the exA press hearing before the interstate^ commerce commission at Washing' ton. ^ •

"A great deal of good in the waj« ,• of improvements in service and re~£ duction of charges are sure to result' from the commission's work," said-. Mr. Cosson, "but I believe government ownership is'the only solutibn. Sa, , long as the railroads enjoy a return-from the gross receipts of the ex­press companies, it remains to the ad-,i , vantage of both to keep the charges? up."

Mr. Cosson stated that during his> visit to Washington he talked with several congressmen regarding *the express question and, according to their views, sentiment is growing for?;^ federal ownership of the companies.* Clifford Thorne, a member of the, state board of railroad commissioners* and D. L. Wise, commerce counsel for the state, also represented Iow&fj at the hearing. : v
