PHARAOH’S
FOLLY
Pharaoh Tutankhamen was wonder
fully equipped for his post-mortem
adventures. The treasures unearthed
in his tomb suggest the trappings that
used to be buried with American In
dians for their Journey to the Happy
Hunting Ground, though infinitely
more regal.
The half has not yet been told of
the grandeur of all those chariots,
weapons, musical instruments, vases,
incense pota and other paraphernalia
that accompanied little King Tut to
his last resting place, nor the golden
and jeweled guardians set to keep
watch over him until the Day of
Judgment, nor the sacred texts in
structing the departed ruler regard
ing his journey across the Styx and
his appearance in the judgment hall
of Osiris, nor the delicate and pains
taking care of his body against the
time of resurrection, nor the mystic
jewels and amulets laid on his breast,
nor the fine gold plate in which he
was laid away, like a medieval knight
in his coat of mail, only much more
gloriously.
It is fascinating to read about such
things. It stirs imagination and sets
egotistical moderns, who may have
imagined that the world began with
them, to thinking upon ancient times,
and upon all the power and knowledge
and grandeur that must have existed
to make such funeral splendors
possible.
But gome things, at least, we do far
better than those old pharaohs. We
do ^ot take vast treasure and lovely
works of art and bury them with us.
We know, or believe we know, that
we can not take our wealth and art
collections to Heaven with us.
In fact, we are more and more in
clined to the opinion, in these latter
days, that if we are fortunate enough
to get into Heaven, the only things
we can take with us are the things we
have given away here to people who
needs them more than we did.

If the membership of this church
would contribute the conning year 36
cents toward the evangelisation of
each of the 32,000,000 people in
heathen lands, for whose evangelisa
tion Southern Presbyterian are re
sponsible, and 60 cents to aid in the
evangelisation of 6,000,000 people in
home mission territory, and if the
salaries of all of the pastors of the
church should be made what are
recognised as “living salaries,” the
annual budget of the church would
amount probably to not more than
312,000,000, which is but little more
than one-third of the tithe of the in
come of the members of the church
for one.
The progressive program of the
church, directed by the stewardship
committee of the general assembly, is
calling upon the church for $4,760,000
for benevolences for the coming year,
less than one-sixtieth of the total in
come of the membership for one year,

get each member of the church to
recognise the duty of setting aside the
tithe of the Income for the work of
the Lord, In keeping with the scrip
tural injunction in this connection,
and to recognise that giving upon the
part of the individual does not begin
until this has been done. Reports from
all of the synods of the general as
sembly show that the number of

to this fact the financial obligations

MISS MAC SWINEY
GIVES VIEWS ON ALLEGIANCE
AND PARTITION j
Belfast, Feb. 27.—“I would wreck
every bridge in Ireland rather than
seen one man disgrace himself, his
country and the martyred dead, by
taking the oath of allegiance to
Ireland’s enemy,” said Mary Mac
Swiney at Athlone recently.
Referring to paritition, she said if
Premier Craig and his government
want to be British citizens they should
“go across the Channel and live there
in peace; we will be glad to get rid
of them.”
