Of course, this may be followed by some consequent ill, For one can hardly believe that a doubling of these white lymph cells can be brought about without some after effect. The white lymph cells have an apparent individuality of their own. They wander through the arteries and veins, and even through the tissues, seeking their prey, which is all those germs that may be (hurtful to the body.

The man sulkily accepting a decision which he knew to be Just, and the woman unscrupulously enoompasslng the end sought by her husband through foul means, might be a contemporary portrait. The rights of the case are clear. There is such a thing as the sacred-ness of property.

That-princlple holds civilization together. All peoples and courts have regarded It Formerly, property rights were deemed superior tor human rights. Happily, we see more clearly now: the supreme social struggle of the past one nun-dre dyears has been to establish -the supremacy of human rights. Some archaic minds have not yet learned the relative value of the two, although the Bible teaching is clear. One danger, In our new social mood.

Is that we shall despise property rights. These have a sanctity that the demagogue does not often see. One high purpose of government is to protect people in the possession of their Just property rights, while. at the same time conserving stands by the palace of Frederick the Great at Potsdam, and the story connected with it, which Carlyle tells: "Annoyed by this Inconvenience to his favorite residence, the king sent to inquire the price for which the mill would be sold by the owner- 'For no was the reply of the sturdy Prussian: and, in a moment of anger, Frederick gave orders that the mill should he pulled down. 'The king may do said the miller, quietly folding his arms, 'but there are laws In Prussia'; and forthwith he commenced proceedings against the monarch, the result of which was that the court sentenced Frederick to rebuild, the mill, and to pay besides a large sum of money as compensation for the injury he had done.

"The king was mortified, but had the magnanimity to say, addressing himself to his courtiers, "I am glad to find that Just laws and upright Judges exist in my ENTER THE PROPHET. By the wicked plot of Jezebel, Ahab secured the coveted Vineyard. But when he entered it. and began to plan 'the Improvements he would make, he was startled bytheBtern figure of the Prophet Elijah. Involuntarily there broke from his lips the cry, "Hast thou fuond me, mine enemy?" That phrase classified both men.

Ahab had lived such a life that every friend of truth and Justice and god-lines was his enemy Hi own conscience Condemned him. Also the words revealed that Elijah was the embodiment of Justice and righteousness. He represented Jehovah. Nobody expected him to wing at wickedness on the part of his wealthiest parishioners. He did not have one gospel for the rich and another for the poor.

Instead, he proclaimed "the whole counsel of God." Truth and God always find the evil doer. "Be sure your sin will find you out." The Immutable laws of God operate on the side of the oppressed and against evil doers. Ahab might, win out by his "pull' with a venal court, but in the long run, he and' his -wife-were-condemned to the fate of the outcast and the criminal-God is for justice. He may seem long in acting, but He acts ultimately. "God does not always pay on Saturday, but He always pays," says the Italian proverb.

"The mills of God grind slowly," but they never cease to grind. sador JTortranthau has prevented greater embarrassments. The emigrat.on of the party of American mlnslonaries from Van to Tiflis is a Htory yet to be told in its fullness. They endured great privation. Mrs.

Ussher died before starting and her husband arrived critically ill; Mrs. Raynolds broke her leg en route. Apparently all the American Board property at Van has been destroyed by the Turks. AN AMERICAN WOMAN'S WAY. It is difficult for people in this country to realize how remote and Inaccessible are some of the Turkish stations of the American Board, especially In "Armenia.

With a etrict censorship on, on.y the vaguest news can percolate out. Thus, a message has come of the death of Miss Charlotte Ely, In July, at Bltlls. which is tn the mountains of Armenia. A herolo story Is hidden behind the brief message that an American missionary, Miss Graffam of S.vas, secured permission from the Turkish Governor-General to accompany a party of American women and children into exile, heir destination Is unknown. Somewhere in the fastnesses' of Armenia, or possibly in the farther wastes of Arabia, thla fearless, devoted American woman has gone with the defenseless, hunted woman and children; not onljrto minister to the dying and the living, but also, by her presence, as an American, to save them, if possible, from the worst horrors of thlB exiie.

Thifl in a dramatic embodiment, is the sort of sacrificial service, that hundreds of Christian American women are doing on the mission field. A peculiarly revolting aspect" of the method followed by the Turks In exterminating their victims Is their skill in eliminating the- men first, and then tn driving, oft such of -the women and children as are not selected for Turkish harems Into remote and desert places, by forced marches, with no supplies provided. Thus a large proportion of the women and children and aged men die from starvation and hardship, rather than from the more merciful sword. Prior to the order for exterminat'on, all the able-bodied men had been carried off Into the Turkish army, where they were put into the positions of greatest danger. This, of course.

Is in addition to the men slain outrlghtly. Even Zeltun has succumbed to this massacre. That news means much to those persons familiar with the history of Armenian massacres. This town of 10,000 Armenians, near Aleppo, has never been conquered In these periodic outbreaks against the Christians. Even during 1195-96, and again In 1908, It maintained its traditions of 800 years by drlv'ng off the Moslem assa'lante.

The present year, however, found Zeltun depleted of men. and the Turks easily overcame it. and carried oft. its women and children with what peculiar vengefulness can easily be imagined. Is it any wonder that Christians of all names, sensible of the ties which all disciples of Christ hold in common, are eager'y watching the news from Turkey? of committees.

Slowly the Christians o' America are waking up to a realization that a crisis without precedent is upon the historic work of the American Board and Presbyter.an Missions In Turkey. Interest in- al-other- mission -fields ia for the moment eclipsed by the amazing news from the most romantic of all mission lands, that on which the drama of revelation waa enacted. Fears for the safety of American by" the news, first g.ven to the wor.d in this co.unm, and later corroborated by the American Ambassador, that the worst anti-Christian atrocities since the Middle Ages have been perpetrated by the Turkish Government upon the Armen.an Christians. Jews and Christians are scheduled to share a like fate.

The herolo. part that American Government officials and American missionaries are bearing in Turkey at the present time ia beginning to leak out, by way of the Boston offices of the American Board and otherwise. WIPING OUT A NATION. Even the official statement of Am-bassador MorganthaimhatBtnc-tast May 850,000 Armenians have been slaughtered or starved has failed to penetrate the horror-calloused and war-paralysed consciousness of Christendom. A year ago the plight of Belgium aroused the world to unparalleled acts of mercy: but if the worst that was ever feared for Bel-glum had come true, conditions would not be at all comparable with the atrocities that have befallen the Ar the welfare of the community.

'KING- and Naboth are the only two creditable figures in this story. Ahab acted like a spoiled boy. and not like a king. He sulked in his palace, and made all about him miserable by his selfishness. The picture of this royal crybaby' on an Ivory couch la not a pretty one.

As for Jezebel, she played the tigress part. A woman without a code will go to even greater lengths than a man. Her plot, In which the grafting officials had a part, was the same sort of misuse of the courts of Justice as we sometimes see tdday. The life of Naboth was sworn away in the same fashion as was the life of Jesus, and on-the- same-charges The covetousness of Ahab, the ruthlessnesa of custodians of Justice, all eonsplred to create a condition that provoked the wrath of the Most High Himself.

The -expert advice which the Navy Department and Congress can obtain from civilian and naval scientists may materially lessen the cost of preparation, and will certainly guar-antee the adoption of defensive instrumentalities that will be worth the money paid for them when they are put to the test.

Clear light upon the present mental condition of the world ig shed by this news from Turkey. Middle-aged persons remember the spasm of horror that convulsed civilization in 1895-96, over the news of the Armenian massacres.

Then it was that Gladstone, flinging offlc'al etiquette to the nds, branded the Sultan as "Abdul the Damned" which showed a poor knowledge of Arabic, but a clear understanding of the heart of Christendom.

With 1918 so near at hand, one begins to question whether the new presidential primary laws of the Western States may not be the cause of as much conflict over contested delegates hi the National Republican convention as that body experienced at Chicago In 1912. There are certainly pecul.ar features in gome of these laws, and not one of them at the time of Its enactment could be regarded as more than an experiment.

That la why Christian Endeavor has been the university from which have been graduated tens of of. stalwart, efficient workers "for Christ and the Church." More members are a goal in the reaching of which better members are made. To do the old things over and over again Is a valuab.e training. Eagerness for novelty should not be permitted to crowd out the tried and tested usages.

More of missions meanj also more of the Master. An advance step for every member Is a Christian Endeavor objective. That Is to say, the members who have taken part by reading selections should offer own personal testimonies.

Those who have spoken, should pray. Those who have made speeches, should confine' themselves frequently to sentence prayer or to the quotation of Bible verses. "The rising tide lifts all ships."

Smith of Diarbeier have been deported by the Turks, for reasons unknown, a though efforts on behalf of the Armen'ans Is suspected; most of the missionaries have remained at their posts.

Thus Dr. Thomas Christie of Tarsus, a veteran of several massacres, went to Constantinople to Intercede for the Armenians, but the Turks would not him go home again.
