Counter-attacked by two regiments of the enemy, Colonel Thompson (then Major One Hundred and Tenth infan try) encouraged bis battalion in the front line by constantly braving the hazardous tire of machine ^uns and artillery. His courage was mrfinly re sponsible for trfe heavy repulse of the enemy. Later in the action, when the ad vance of his assaulting companies was held up by tire from a hostile machine gun nest and ail birt one of the six assaulting tanks were disabled, Major Thompson, with great gallantry and coolness, rushed forward on foot three separate times in advance of the as saulting line, under heavy machine gun and anti-tank-gun fire and led the one remaining tank to within a few yards of the enemy machine-gun nest, which succeeded in reducing it1, there bv making it possible for the infantry to advance.

I 1,200,000 GALLONS ANNUALLY IS SMUGGLED IN, CHARGES *' ROGERS. BIG INCOME FROM DUTIES State Department Report Reads Like Book of Fiction, Declared Mr. Rogers. Washington. ? Liquor is now being smuggled into the United States from the Bahama Islands at the rate of 1, 200,000 gallons annually, while the government and population of that British colon}', getting ^'relatively im mense revenues from the traffic, "i are absolutely indisposed to sympathize with efforts to check it, according to a statement issued by Representative Rogers, Republican, Massachusetts, based, he declared, on official data fur nished him by the state department. From the duties on whiskey alone, Mr. Rogers said, the islands are de riving an income three times as great j as their government revenue from ; all sources in 1918, while the esti mate^ profits of those interested in Ihe traffic, including member^ of the elected legislative body, are said to be enriching. j Mr. Rogers declared the state de- 1 1 partment report "read like a book of fiction," in describing the mushroom growth ? still continuing ? of what he classed as "an established practice, with great capital and organized pro ; cedure," of rum running liquor into the United States through the screen erected by prohibition enforcement agents. ! Up to 1919, Mr. Rogers asserted, ' the annual imports of liquor to the Bahamas were 50,000 gallons, whii^ for 1922 they amounted to l,200,00u gallons. "The Bahamas are certainly the oasis of 'dry' America," his statement said. "To the last quart, I am advised, the liquors are shipped to the United States. All told, 2,000,000 gallons have found their way into the coun try all the way from Norfolk, Philadel phia and New York, as far east as Boston. When the smuggling first be gan some vessels would lie off the port of Nassau, would be secretly loaded and would depart without pa pers. Other ships would be cleared in ballast, but subsequent to clearing would be loaded with liquor. "The practice is different now that the illicit trade has been fully or ganized. The vessels, nearly all fly j ing the British flag, will clear for the i French port of St. Pierre, Miquelon, or for Tanipico, Mexico. In tke first instance, the vessels really unload their cargoes off New York or some other North Atlantic port. Signs Indicate better Business. New York.? Quietness and a certain amount of irregularity in the financial markets during the past week offered a contrast to the encouraging charac ter of reports from industrial and trade centers. The causes of the ir I regularity were not difficult to find. For one thing, the situation in the j Ruhr valley gtill acted as a brake on j speculative enthusiasm, although the I market displayed a calmness in the I face of alarmist rumors that testified to admonishing * susceptibility to things of that sort. It also appeared that the security markets had entered into something of a resting period, fhe effects of the early January rein vestment demand having passed and the unusually large volume of new capital issues having taken the edge off the bond market for the time being. Despite these circumstances a fipm undertone was apparent. Reports of good earnings came from a number i of important quarters and expectations j of good domestic business continues 1 to be general. In finnacial quarters the opinion still holds that the French ' entrance into the Ruhr was ill-advised, but there is a disposition to be hope- , *ul with regard to the ultimate results. Doubts are expressed with regard to France's ability to make the occupa tion an economic success, but it is felt that the movement was perhaps in- j evitable and bringing matters to a 1 head may hasten an agreement be tween France and Germany. Actual clashes between the troops and the population are not anticipated, the thought being that both sides will suffer severely enough from the eco nomic standpoint to produce a more reasonable attitude. * Trade reports are distinctly cheer ful. Many signs indicate business is j considerably better than is unusually the case at this time of year. Urge Passage of Shipping Measure. Washington. ?

" INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ? l..e Grace of Gratitude. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC , ?Cultivating the Habit of Gratitude. Jesus is now on His way to Jerusa lem where He will be offered up for the sins of the people. It was fitting that He should puss through the coun try of the Samaritans, for He was the Savior of all men. On this occasion He came in touch with a colony of ten lepers, and His healing of theif ex hibits the condition "of human nature and the workings of His divine grace. I. Their Awful Affliction (v. 12). They were lepers. Leprosy is a con tagious disease which rots off the members of the body and eventuates in death. It may be unnoticed in the blood of the person for years. It is of such a foul nature that the one thus afflicted Is cast out from society. This segregation was in accordance with the Mosaic law (Lev. 13:46). It was a kind of Naaman quarantine measure. Leprosy has always been regarded as a type of sin, even at times visited upon people for some sin. Examples, the leprosy of Gchaz! (II Kings 5) ; Miriam (Num. 12) ; Uz ziah (II Kings 15:5). Sin lias come into the world and flows from generation to generation through the racial stream, so that all are sinners (Ilom. 5:12). Though sin may be hidden, it eventually breaks ^ut and destroys the body. Evidences of this are seen on every hand. There is no need of Bible proof of its reality. II. Their Cry for Mercy'(v. 13). They were in great need. No hu man help was available. They had somehow heard how Jesus had healed some lepers. Where there is real heal ing it is bound to be noised about. This aroused faith in them. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Rom. 10:17). As He came their way they called for mercy. It Ls the privilege of all sinners to call upon Jesus Christ for mercy. Salva tion from the most awful sins will surely come to all who cry unto Him in sincerity. III. Bidden to Go to the Priests (v. 14). Before the lepers were henled they were to show themselves to the priests, according to the Mosaic law (Lev. 14:1-32). As they went in faith they were healed. While God goes he fore in the work of salvation, yet lie demands of the sinner faith. Faith is the cause'of His action. Activity on the sinner's part is necessary so that God's grace can flow into him. Faith expresses itself in action. By this means the divine power and human need are united. The only faith need ed is for the sinner^o realize the heal ing power of Christ, and as this is acted upon there is the consequent in crease which results in complete sal vation. Cleansing Is realized through obedience. IV. The Gratitude of the One (vv. 15, 16). Perceiving that he was healed of his leprosy, the Samaritan turned , back and with a loud voice glorified God. He even fell down on his face and gave thanks. The one least expected" to show gratitude for this great mercy was the one who sincerely expressed It. V. The Gratitude of the Nine (vv. 17-19). Presumably they were Jews. The very ones who should have been most grateful did not show any apprecia tion. They were content to get much from Christ without giving Him any thing. He expects ^hose who experi ence His salvation to give Him their love and gratitude. The Lord is hurt when saved sinners go off with the blessing of salvation as though they had stolen it. Many take all they can get from Christ and give nothing in re turn. All the blessings of civilization are ours through Christ, yet how few thank Him for them. The proportion of those who are ungrateful for the blessings which Christ brought Is per haps nine to one. The fact that grati tude was expressed by a Samaritan shows how often we are seamed by the devotion of those less favored than ourselves. Finding God. If we cannot find God In your house and mine, upon the roadside or the margin of the sea; in the bursting seed or opening flower; In the day duty or night musing? I do not think we should discern Him any more upon the grass of Eden, or beneath the moonlight of Gethsemane. ? J. Mai* tineau. ^Victory Over Sin.
