CASUALTY LIST SLOW.
Washington, Aug. 2.—Replying to
a request that he expedite the lists
of American casualties in the fight
ing on the Soissons-Rheims salient,
General Pershing today cabled Sec
retary Baker that the task of assem
bling the names of the men was an
extremely difficult one because of
the limited means of communication
in the battle areas and owing to the
fact that American troops are bri
gaded with French and British units.
Secretary Baker said no estimate
of casualties wras contained in Gen
eral Pershing’s cablegram. There
was nothing to indicate today when
the increased casualty lists resulting
from the present severe fighting
would begin to come in.
The government needs your money;
ou need the stamps.

1:5-8.

APPLICATIONS.)

I. Jesus Christ Growing (Luke 2:42
52).
While Christ was indeed divine, his
deity did not interfere with his de
velopment as a human being. The
processes of his physical, mental, and
spiritual growth were the same as
those of any human being.
L Jesus tarrying behind at Jeru
salem (vv. 42, 43).
At the age of twelve a Jewish child
took his place as a worshipper in the
temple. He was considered a “child
of the law.” Being conscious of his
mission, when Joseph and his mother
were returning from attendance al
the Passover, he tarried behind to en
ter the temple and inquired into the
meaning of the ordinances of God’s
House. He had an alert, eager mind,
which inquired after the truth, espe
cially the truth conceruing his Fa
tner s tiouse. ms nean yearueu uxiei
his Father.
2. Jesus found in the temple (vv.
44-50).
When Joseph and Jesus’ mother had
gone some distance on their return
journey they perceived that Jesus was
missing, and sought him among theii
kinsfolk and acquaintance. Not find
ing him there, they turned back to
Jerusalem where they found him in
the temple.
(1) He was “sitting” (v. 48) show
ing that he was no passing visitor oi
sightseer. He was perfectly at home
in his Father’s House.
(2) He was “hearing” the teachers
of God’s Word (v. 48). This shows
he was eager to learn God’s will.
(3) He asked questions (v. 46).
The growing mind is inquisitive. II
more than receives that which is
taught; it inquires after.
(4) He answered questions (v. 42)
His answers showed great wisdom.
It was not an exhibition of his
divine wisdom, but an expression oi
the workings of a perfect human mind
suffused by the Holy Spirit.
3. Mary's complaint (vv. 4S-50).
She remonstrates with him for his
behavior. He made no apology, show
ing that he was more than the son oi
Mary; God was his Father.
4. Jesus obedient (v. 51).
Though he was conscious of his di
vine being and mission, he lived a life
of filial obedience.
5. Jesus’ development (v. 52).
It was
(1) Mental—“Increased in wisdom.”
(2) Physical—“Stature.”
(3) Spiritual—“Favor with God and
man.”
II. Growth in Grace (II Peter 1:3
11).
This is not growth into grace, but
growth in it. We get into grace by
the new birth. T|iis new nature which
has its source in God must be devel
oped in order that our lives be fruit
ful for God (v. 8), that they bear
testimony to the cleansing power of
Christ’s blood (v. 9), and that we may
have assurance of salvation (v. 10).
! The following ore lines of growth:
1. “Virtue” (v. 5).
' Virtue here means energy or cour
! age. This is not “added” as in the
Authorized Version, but as in the Re
| vised Version which reads: “In your
; faith supply virtue.” It means in
crease by growth, not by external
junction. Faith is the root from
which spring all these excellencies,
j 2. “Knowledge” (v. 5).
This means a right understanding,
a practical knowledge,
i 3. “Temperance” (v. 0).
Temperance means self-control. This
self-control extends to all the affairs
of life. Practical knowledge will sup
ply to itself the government of all
appetites.
4. “Patience” (v. 6).
This means endurance. Having con
trol of self within, there will be en
durance of that without.
5. “Godliness” (v. 6).
This means piety, reverence for
God, the submission of the human will
to the will of God. This is a part of
that practical knowledge which we
are obliged to supply.
6. “Botherly kindness” (v. 7).
Love of the brethren must be devel
oped in godliness. The proof that
one is godly is that he loves the
brethren (1 John 5:1). This means
the special love of Christians for each
other.
7. “Charity” (v. 7).
I This is love. Peter’s climax is
reached in love. Out of faith, which
Is the root, springs this seven-fold
fruit. In order to prevent apostasy,
Peter calls ull to be diligent in the de
velopment of these graces. Ail such
sfcati endure.

NOTICE.
To Chairmen Local Committees,
To Arkansas Consumers of Coal:
1. The fuel situation confronting
the nation is serious. It is impera- j
tive that there be a co-operative dis-,
position on the part of steam-users
to equip their boilers for the use of
such grades of coal as may be avail- j
able, if the domestic consumers and j
the essential industries are not to'
I LnifA n oliAidori'n r\-p nroViOrwl C170CJ
during the trying days/of the com-[
ing winter. /
2. Loss of coaj-7 production in
many of the western states, includ
ing Arkansas, \ Jlargely attributable j
to the fact that/there is not now suf
ficient means /or the untilization of
slack coal. Tine early ordering cam
paign in thip state has met with a |
ready respcfnse on the part of con-'
sumers, ah<Kretail dealers report they |
booked sufficient orders to keep them J
busy 60 days, and those who have not J
placed their orders should do so now. j
3. * Industrial plants and the -con
sumers of prepared sizes are expected ,
to do their full duty, and the steam
users are called upon to make pre
parations for the use of more slack,
or the whole system of production
and. distribution will be badly crip
pled.
4. It is urged upon thd owners of
steam plants in Arkansas, as a pa
triotic duty, that they proceed to
equip their boilers with special
grates and blowers to enable them i
to burn and utilize approximately
one hundred and fifty thousand tons
of Anthracite slack that for the pres
ent, there is no market, and place
their orders. to the extent of their
storage capacity.
5. This applies especially to An
thracite slack. The changes in fire
box equipment can be made at a
comparatively small cost and it will, j
• ii i ■■■■ ■.. ■ i ■ '■■■
in the end, prove to be more econom
ical, on account of the lower cost of
slack, and at the same time, will aid
in the production of Anthracite coal
that is so badly needed.
6. Get ready to burn more slack
and keep the miners busy.

PARKER CONVINCED
BY HIS EXPERIENCE
“I Can Recommend Tanlac In the
Highest Terms,” Says Well
Known Alabama Dentist—
Declares He Is Well Man.
“I am firmly convinced from my
own experience with Tanlac, that it
will do all people claim for it, as I
am a well man now, after suffering
for twelve years until I took Tan
l&c,” is the frank statement of Dr.
S. J. Parker, a well known dentist
of Roanoke, Alabama.
“I had a bad form of stomach trou
ble, which distressed me continually
or all these years,” he continued.
“Terrible/ headaches would come on
me frequently as a result of a nause
ated aryd upset stomach and would
last for! hours. These attacks would
come aS often as two and three times
a week. I lost weight rapidly and,
although I tried several of the most
approved remedies for thia trouble,
it resisted treatment and I continued
to go down hill.
“I read about what Tanlac was do
ing everywhere, and though I was ,
skeptical about proprietary medi
cines, I gave it a trial. I hadn’t fin
ished the first bottle until I saw fav
orable results, and I have continued
to improve unt” my stomach is
completely set in order and the oth

been entirely relieved. I am a well 9
