His retum to net up Ills kingdom we
will take It and look at liotli. The time
wben Isa. xl Khali lie literally fulfilled
cannot come dining this age of a re
jected Mexxlab and a consequently
scattered Israel, but a* truly ax lie at
Ilia first coming literally fulfilled all
tbat la written In Isa. Mil and else

shall lie when lie shall come again aa

erywhere concerning Ills kingdom and
glory. Animals flint now devour each

shall have smitten them and liroketi
them In pieces, and the earth shall lie
full of the kuowlcdgv of the l.ord as
tile waters cover the sea. for tbe rod
out of the Btem of Jesse, who is also
tbe root of Jesse: fbe son of David,
who la also David's l.ord. shall sit oil
David'a throne and reign over the
bouae of Jacob, who will then lie a na
tion all righteous, according to Gabriel
and all tbe propheta. tbe neglect of
wbom made tbe two with whom lie J
walked to Kmtnaus to be foolish men
(Luke xxiv, 28; I. 31. 32; Jer. ill. 17;
taa. ix. 0. 7; ix. 21>.
He who rose from llie dead waa In
deed tbe Son of Dnvld. tbe long prom
ised king to rule over Israel, which He
shall surely do alll la return, and not
6nly Israel, but all nations (Mlc. Iv, 3:
T, 2; Ps. lull. 11; Matt. I. 1; Itev. xxII.
10; II Tim. 11, 8; Itev. I. ft; I's. Ixxxvi.
0). How wonderful tbe king and the
kingdom! Thy kingdom compl Christ
mas Is almost without significance un
less It poluts us on to tbe coming again
of Him wbo was born in Bethlehem,
not In tbe winter season, but probably
in tfae springtime.
Turning to the lesson In tbe Acts,
tbe former treatise referred to was the
gospel by Luke, wherein , be, as well
as Matthew and Mark In their gospels,
set forth tbe things that Jesus began 
to do and teach and which the Holy j
Spirit through redeemed people baa I
ever since been doing and teaching and
will till tbe church Is completed.
Notice that doing always goes before
teaching, for we cannot teach others
until we have done tbe things our
selves. He continued to do and teach
until tbe day In whlcb He waa taken
up. May we by tbe same Spirit be
faithful witnesses until taken out of
the body or taken up In tbe body to be
ever with Him (I Theaa. Iv, 10-18; Phil,
t, 2t. 28). We must not confuse these
two, but either will be glorious.
Notice how He did nil by tbe Holy
Spirit. And remember that from His j
conception to His resurrection all was
by the Holy Spirit, the same one con- '
cernlng wbom He said. "Ye shall re- j
celve tbe power of the Holy Ghost
coming upon you. and ye ahall tie wlt
neaaes unto me" (verse 8. margin). Aa
He showed Hlmaclf alive in His res
urrection body He expects us. In the
(lower of Hla resurrection by the Holy
Spirit, to mniiirest Him In our mortal
bodies tbat others may aee Him and
not us.
He will manifest Himself In ns If i
we are fully yielded. Since He Is more
willing to give the fullness of the Spirit
than [iurents are to give good gifts
unto their children, whnt can binder
us from being filled but our own un
willingness? Their question, "Ixird, wilt
tbou at thla time restore again the king
dom to Israel?" waa in no sense a fool
tab question, for the prophets are full
of such a restoration, and the heaven
has received Him only unUl the times
of reatltutlon of all things which (lod
bath apoken by the mouth of all Ills
holy prophets since tbe world began
(Acta 111, 21). Our Lord did not re
prove them for asking tbe question,
nor did He say that tbey were carnal
In looking for such a klndom or that
tbey misunderstood tbe nature of tbe
kiogdom. He simply said to them, and
He aaya to ua, that we are not to know
tbe Ume, and elsewhere lie said tbat
It wUI be In such an hour as we think
not. But nis great desire for us Is
tbat we shall be. In tbe power of His
Spirit. Ills faltbfnl witnesses to His
death and resurrection and present
ministry and coming again.
He led them out aa fsr as to Betb- !
any, and while lie blessed litem with
uplifted bands He was parted from
them, carried up Into heaven and aat
on tbe right band of God (verse 0;
Lake xxlv. 00, St; Mark xrl. IB). Aa
they looked steadfastly toward heaven
two men In white apparel sold. "This 1
■aine Jeeua • • • shall so come In like '
manner aa ye bare aeen Dim go Into
heaven." Then tbey returned to Jeru
salem wltb great joy and were cou-
Unoally praising and bleaalng God
(vena II; Lake xxlv, 52.) Let ua bold
fast tbe very words about "this same
Jeans," and If we believe tbero as tbey
tld we will be affected aa they were to
Hla glory-not daatb nor any great
•vut In the past, but a literal person
al coming to tbe air to welcome His
churrh and then to tbe same Olivet to
aat up Ills kingdom.

CARRANZA ANSWERS
WITH VEILED THfIEAT
' SAYS HE WILL CONSIDER ACTION

--GARLESS OF MOTIVE.
DISPATCHES REPLY TO NOTE
Repudiates Blsme For Firing Across
Border.*—Exprssser. Hope of "Good
Friendship."
Vara Cruz. —"If the United State*
, employs force to stop the firing liy
Mexicans across t lie International
boundary line at Naco, it will be con
sidered .an unfriendly act, notwith
standing the friendly motives cloak
ing the act." , •
In this manner Carranza made an
swer In a statement to the Associated
Press to the formal notice served by
the United States on both Provisional
President Gutierrez and Gen. Car
ranza that unless such firing ceased,
force would be employed to protect
American territory.
Carranza's reply to the American
note, repudiated responsibility for
shots that have crossed the line ana
clearly set forth that he and his gov
ernment will regard intervention at
Naco as a hostile act. At no time
since the receipt of Secretary Bryan's
note calling attention to the repeated
wounding and' killing or residents or
teh American town has Gen. Carranza
appeared perturbed but he has had
long conferences with those close to
him, and, in framing his reply It Is
said he has been careful not to let
himself stand In any uncertain light.
"Gen. Hill, constitutionalist com
mander of the troops at Naco, Is on
the defensive," continued Gen. Car
ranza, "and, since his back was to
the line. It to difficult to see how he j
could be responsible, for the firing.
The fact Is that Maytorena's men have,
been attacking and _ therefore It ap-1
pears reasonablely clear that they, and
only they, could have been to blame.
"As a matter of faot I do not know
that the rights of American citizens
have been violated. 1 - it.seems to me
that tt would be well for the Btate
department to investigate the ques
tion in order to flex the responsibility.
"I remember similar Instances at
101 Paso, when the Madero forces were
attacking there. In that case those
shots were for the most part the lip
prudent and curious Individuals who
flocked to witness the fighting as If
it had been a spectacular show staged
for their benefit.
BERVIAN ARMY VICTORIOUS.
French Cut German Line of Communi
cations Nears St. Mihiel.
Ivondon—Both the German and
official reports contain evidence that
the Allies offensive movement is be
ginning to gather Impetus and is
meeting with stobborn resistance.
The Frenyh . have been particularly
active In the Woevre region.
At several points the Germans hate
made counter attacks which the
French clal mhave been repulsed.
The German report shows that Gen
eral Joffre's men have reached a
point midway between St. Mihiel and
Polnt-arMousson which would indi
cate that they had crossed the Ger
man line of communications. In these
operations the French lost heavily.
The battles In Poland continue al
most without Intermission and, while
both Russians and Germans announce
success, apparently no decisive result
has been reached. Tbe Germans still
are delivering heavy blows at the
Russian center, where they assert
they took 11,000 prisoners and 40 ma
chine guns. South of Cracow the
Russians claim the capture of 4,000
prisoners, four guns and seven ma
chine guns.
Another Russian force Is holding
the passes of the Carpathians pre
venting the Austrians from sending
relief to their Gallcian army. There
Is no news of the German troops ad
vancing south of Mlawa, with the ob
ject of attempting to turn the Rus
sian right. Tbe rehabilitated Servian
army continues victorious In the Bal
kan area of the war.
That the former German cruiser
Goeben, now owned by Turkey, was
not so seriously damaged as was re
ported In her brush with Russian
cruisers. Is shown by the fact that she
took part In the recent stuck on
Batum, the Russian Black Sea port.
According to a Russian statement the
bombardment did little damage.
Bulgaria, according to a Paris re
port, has expressed to the Powes of
ths Trlpls Entente her desire to re
main neutral. Thto to taken to mean
that Roumanto, If she so wished, could
Join the Allies without fear of being
attacked by Bulgaria.

Panama.—Col. George W. Goethals,
governor of the Panama Canal zone,
announced that his request that two
swift American torpedo boat destroy
ers be stationed at the entrances of
the canal was prompted fey recent ac
tivity of warships and colliers of the
belligerent European nations In the
vicinity of the waterway.
The action of the Australian cooler
Malllna in leaving Balboa without
clearance papers and the fact that
other colliers have shown a disposi
tion ot disregard canal zone shipping
laws convinced Colonel Goethals that
decisive measures should be taken to
preserve the neutrality of the canal.
Nearly all the colliers In canal wa
ters arrived without health certiflcatee
and In several Instances sailed with
out clearance papers. It to presumed
die steamers met and coaled ths Aus
tralian and English fleet which con
centrated recently In the vicinity of
I the Peral Islands, which lie 60 miles
j southeast of Panama City.
The torpedo boat destroyers re
. quested by the governor are expected
' to do patrol duty and overhaul bellig
erent craft attempting to disregard the
canal regulations.
Alleged violations of the Canst
shipping laws are said to have been
the subject of oomplaint to Sir Cteude
C. Mallett, British minister to Pana
ma and also having resulted In orders
the fortifications prevent unneutral
colliers remaining in ports on the
zone In disregard of. the orders of
canal authorities. >
In the case of the collier Malllna
It is stated that she arrived without
clearance papers or a health certifi
cate and with no coal or suppllss. She
attempted to buy $30,000 worth of sup
piles, consisting largely of articles In
tended for Christmas dinner for a
large force. She was refused the sup
■•"es and was ordered to depart be
cause -she refused to state her desti
nation, as required by the Canal Zone'
laws. The collier Protesllau is point
ed to as a 'Similar case.
It Is stated that there has been
much wireless Interference in canal
waters on the part of eight colliers
which were recently in the vicinity of
the canal and also by large warships
fleets, reported to be within 25 miles
of both ends of the canal.
CONGRESS PUSHES WORK.
No Extra Session for Next Bummsr
to Spur.
Washington. Congress continues
work of the winter session determined
to complete Its tasks March 4 so that
no extra session will be necessary
next summer.
Democratic leaders of both houses
agree with President Wilson that the
country should have a rest from na
tional legislation. Right of way will
he given appropriation bills with con
servation measures, the Philippine
bill and the government's purchase
bill following.
While no special Investigation of
military preparedness seems in pros
pect, much attention will center
about Investigations before reguar
house committees. The naval com
mittee wIU resume consideration of
the appropriation bill at once with j
Secretary Daniels again on the stand.
The immigration bill, with its lit
eracy test for aliens will again be
under debate in tbe senate while that
body waits for the appropriation'kills
to come from the bouse. Its sup
porters insist that it will be passed
although It was not included in the
President's outline of legislation.
Conservation measures—the water
power site and the mineral leasing
bills probably will be reported from
the senate committee on public lands
early in January.
