LIBERTY........kulm
1 think of no word that is so
often misused and misunder-
stood as the word “liberty.” To
many people it seems to mean
that they have a right to do as
they please regardless of the
rights of others. I do s great
deal of motoring, much of it
over wide, smooth concrete
highways, and I see many ex-
amples of drivers who have no
regard whatever for the safe-
ty of others.
Liberty,* it seems to me, is
not the right to violate law or
to infringe upon other peo-
ples' liberty. Unfortunately,
we have in America a very
large number of people, not all
of them of recent foreign birth
or descent, whose idea is exact-
ly the opposite. It is an ex-
tremely prevalent idea among
our foreign-born population
that they don’t have to obey
any laws at all in this land of
liberty to which they have
come to escape, in many cases,
from the rigorous regulation
of their native countries.
REGISTRATION . . of aliens
There is no nation except
ours in the world that permits
foreigners to enter and move
about freely without identifi-
cation carda and registration
with the police or municipal
authorities.
These other nations protect
the liberties of their own peo-
ple against infringement by
foreigners who don’t under-
stand or are not inclined to
conform to their laws and cus-
toms, by keeping the closest
tax on everybody who is not s
citizen. In most countries a
landlord Is subject to severe
penalty if he rents an apart-
ment or a hotel room to an
alien without first inspecting
the foreigner’s passport and
other papers and immediately
reporting the visitor to the
police.
I have a strong feeling that
the United States would have
much less of a crime problem
if we kept the same kind of
tab on every stranger within
our gates.
FINGERPRINTS .
of all
The suggestion has often
been made, and I think the
idea is gaining ground, that
every child ought to be finger-
printed at birth and a record
of those fingerprints filed with
the proper authorities for pos-
sible future identification. I
cannot see where it would be
an infringement upon indi-
vidual liberty to require every
citizen to carry with him at
all times some identification,
either a card with hi* finger-
prints and name, or an identi-
fication tag such as are issued
to soldiers in war.
A terrible howl goes up
fox some quarters whenever
si eh r. suggestion is made. My
observation is tkf-t the howk
mostly arise from persons or
groups who are more interested
in evading the law or helping
violators of law to go free,
than from law-abiding citi-
zen*.
RELIEF........goes astray
I have seen many state-
ments lately of the number of
aliens in the United States who
are drawing relief money from
municipal, state or Federal
sources Some of them, to be
sure, have taken out their first
papers. One case I heard of
recently is that of a man and
wife who have never earned a
cent since they came to Amer-
ica. She was a widow with
five children, he is a widower
with six children, and their
joint progeny has added an-
other half dozen or so to the
population of America. The
man has been supported by
charity almost from the time
of his entrance into this coun-
try.
By any sensible test of qual-
ifications for citizenship, this
family never would have been
allowed to remain here.
NATIONALISM . .. for us too
I have little sympathy with
the intensly nationalistic spirit
which has seized the people of
almost all the world in the part
few years. I think it is about
time we in the United States
were tightening the lines. It is
becoming a matter of self-de-
fense. We have a greater op-
portunity to go on indefinitely
as a self-contained nation
than has almost any other
country. We are dependent
upon the rest of the world for
only a few luxuries.
I have never seen any hu-
man plan that was perfect,
but it does not seem impos-
sible for America to develop
an economic system under
which our own people will be
able to consume everything
that cur mines, waters, forests,
farms and factories can pro-
duce and provide a market
which would still keep us in
the position of the most pros-
perous nation in the world.
Until the rest of the world
recovers its economic sanity
and ceases to set up stupid ar-
tificial barriers to the free-
flow of international trade, it
seems to me that America
might show how much better
she can do the job of being a
completely self-contained na-
tion.

By BRUCE BARTON
THE INFLUENCE OF THE BOOK
The Ic.igest telegraphic message that ever had gone over
the wires up to .ha . time was sent from New York to Chicago,
May 20, 1381. Its one hundred and eighty thousand words
were adek sased to The Chicago Times. The Tribune had
a message almost as long. The following morn-
ing both papers printed the four Gospels com-
plete, with the book of Acts, while The Times
had Romans also. The next day they printed
the rest of the New Testament from copies sent
by mail, proclaiming that they had performed
the greatest journalistic achievement of all
time. They were right.
The typesetting machines was not yet in use.
The Tribune employed ninety-two compositors
and five correctors, and completed the work of
taking, transcribing, correcting and setting up
the text in twelve hours.
On the same day this Revised Version of the
New Testament was put on sale simultaneously in New York
and London. In New York thirty-three thousand copies were
sold locally and at retail in twenty-four hours. Two million
copies were sold ia Oxford and Cambridge before the edition
was off the press. In the United States, from May twentieth
until the end of the year 1881, thirty huge editions, mounting
into millions of copies, were sold. Nothing comparable has
ever occurred in publishing history.
The New Testament has four short biographies of Jesus, each
containing some material which is not in any of the others. It
has often been asked, "Since we have four, why not more?”
Several of the apostles are supposed to have journeyed far and
to have made converts in distant places.
There is nothing inherently improbable in the thought that
one or more of them might have written for his own converts
in a distant region a little sketch of Jesus as he remembered
Him, and that this sketch, however inferior as a whole to any
one of our four gospels, might contain a few authentic inci-
dents, one or two parabltea, or a report of some discourse with
Jesus hitherto unknown. It has been conjectured that such
books were in actual existence.
Such conjectures are probably without foundation. But
suppose that such a book, a gospel by Thomas or Andrew, were
to be found in a far corner of Asia or Africa, and that some
scholar of a reputation as well established as that of Tischen-
dorf, the discoverer of the Sinaitic manuscript, were to see it
and pronounce it genuine. Suppose the authorities of the
library or convent where it was found should say that scholars
were free to examine and photograph and translate it, but that
it must not he removed. What would happen?

LYDIA AND PRISCILLA
Lesson for Sept. 8th.
Acts 18:11-15.
Golden Text; tToverfau 31:31.
How attractive is Lydia, of
Thyatira, a seller of purple in
Philippi I A woman of abund-
ant means, she apparently be-
longed to a guild of dyers
which carried on a flourishing
business in the sale of high-
grade purple doth. There is
reason to believe that she was
at the head of a large bra
employing many women.
How modern she tons seems l
If alive today, ahe would be a
forceful public. leader.
But, in another sense, Lydia
is not typical of the modern
spirit For she was a devout
worshipper who took the trou-
ble to go “out of the city by a
river side, where prayer was
wont to be made.” (Acts
16:13.) In these days when
folk are so careless about
church attendance, offering all
manner of excuses, it is pleas-
ant to think of the genuine
piety of Lydia.
Luke tell* ns that “the
Lord opened” Lydia’s heart
Paul’s preaching inspired her
to give her heart to Christ and
to be baptized together with
her household.” And then, to
prove the sincerity of her pro-
fession, she Invited Pan! and
his three companions to accept
the hospitality of her com-
fortable home.
Priscilla was also, it ap-
pears. a woman of wealth. She
evidently belonged to the
nobility, being of higher social
rank than her husband tAquila.
Of more commanding person-
ality than Aquila, she was a
very active worker in the pri-
mitive church. The two of
them together furnish the
finest example we have in the
New Testament of a husband
and wife united in successful
promotion of the £ os pel. Har-
nack. the German scholar,
thinks that Priscilla, with the
aid of Aquila, wrote the great
letter to the Hebrews. . How-
ever this may be, it is clear
that their partnership with
Paul was extremely fruitful.
Under his tutelage they be-
came expert evangelists of the
greatest value both to Paul
and the Christian cause.

/JOHN JOSEPH 6A1NES, M-D-j j-'
the poison-victim
I hope you may never be
confronted with a poison em-
ergency as I have many times
been, the case of accidental
(or suicidal) poisoning of a
human being. It i.s one of the
most serious moments of life
when an unconscious and pros-
trate body is found demanding
immediate effor..
Quick and accurate think-
ing is demanded and action
with it. Have some one sum-
mon the doctor. Don’t waste
time looking for evidence. Be
quick to try to preserve life
and look for evidence after-
ward. If the patient’s lips are
burned with carbolic acid,
pour in heavy solutions of al-
kalines—soda or epsom salts
—or, dilated alcohol if it is at
hand. Do it plentifully and be
sure it is enough. Let the doc-
tor be the judge as to an
emetic when he arrives.
If the patient is in convul-
sions with violent contractions
of the limbs and neck-muscled
it indicates strychnine poison-
ing. Pour in warm mustard-
water—anything that will pro-
duce vomit If yon have an
opiate, give it and don’t be
afraid of over-dose. Quiet these
spasms if you can. Whiffs «f
chloroform if it can he had—
anything to combat this quick-
acting poison, until the doctor
arrives.
With the patient that can-
not be aroused it might be
opium or morphine. Look at
the pupil of the eyes. If they
are contracted to pin-peinta
and the sleep is profound and
heavy, then give black coffee.
Give ail you can force down.
If you can get an emetic
dose into the patient, do it.
Stimulate. Do everything to
keep up breathing, artificial
respiration if yon can per-
form. Keep the patient awake
—or try strenuous methods to
do so. We used to even
"larrup” the morphine victim
to keep him from sleeping off
the mortal ceil.
Children may get hold of
aconite—it produces exces-
sive sweat feeble, rapid pulse
and great weakness. Give
stimulants.
