And Satan said unto Jesus, All these things will L'give thee if thou wilt fall down and; worship me. St. Matt. 4:9. .i Everything we get in this world has to be paid fori It makes no dif ference at all what it is, if we get it we mustpay the price for it. There is a saying of Emerson's "What will is not because God Is a ' hard bar- garner, but beca itist good - us to pet anything' good lor nothing. If we did, we would have a. low opin ion of it, which worst misfbr- . . tune possible, for a man to have a ' Vi'vstaV contemptuous opinion of good. - Notv, Satan tries to be like God in every way except being good. He co pies all God's plans and methods. He has to, because he cannot originate anything himself. If he could do that he would be a Creatar too, and equal to God. So he charges for all ho can induce people to accept from him, and as he can outdo God in no way but a bad one, ho surpasses God in this respect, that he charges more, and gives less in return than God does. He offered Jesus all the king doms of the world, and the glory of them, and the price he asked was that H?, worship him. So our sermon will be on the different ways of wor- 8hipir,jr Satan there arer 1. Not' worshiping God. We natur ally arc obliged to worship something That is the way we are made. If it is not God, then it must be Satan, for there are only those two principles for us to worship. If a man is not for God and good, he is of necessity for Satan and wrong. He cannot possibly be neutral, 2. Doing exactly as we ourselves want to do. Sometimes we may say that we neither obey God or the devil so far as we know; but obey only our own desires. But by nature we are sinful, and our natural desires are directed by Satan. I had just as soon be at the mercy of a man possessed Wholly of the dviU .;as(?a Jau pos sessed wholly by himself '. It is: about the same thing," 1. suppose. If he cares only fer,.)imseJf ,'(ije .ertalnly is not going to-do me any. good.! , 3. I would'say a personals' worship ing Satan who is never getting any better as his Hfcgoes on. For God certainly is the,, author of life and growth, and cvy, itherf cause of backwardness and lack of progress and death. Somehow, one who never gets onward towards higher heights of holiness, must have fastened his life to some principle of death, which is what we know Satan to be. So the price Satan asks for the kingdom of the world, or for that small part of them he offers us, that of : worshiping him, is too great a price for so scanty delivery. MEETING OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF LIBRARY The executive committee , of the Edgecombe Public Library Associa. tion will meet Monday afternoon at 6 o'clock iin the reading room.

COMETS IDEA THAT AS CURE VALUE LONDON, April 1. Dr. A. E. Haywaid Pinch, medical superinten dent of the radium institute, in his report of the work of that institu tion for last year, combats the idea that radium has no therapeutic value. He disclares that this theory origin ated fror well-meaning but ill-informed practitioners having very lit tle personal experience. "Radium,'' he declares, "is not a failure when used intelligently and scientifically and applied to treat ment of those conditions which ex perience has shown are amvnablu to ;it? action. No honest worker claims, 'pV has ever attempted to claim, that radium is to be regarded as a pana cea, or as a cure for malignant dis ease and many years must elapse and much more research and cljnka! work be done before it will be jus tifiable to use the word 'j:ure' even in selected cases of malignant trou ble. It is best, therefore, to speak only of 'arrest of the disease' and this can truthfully be affirmed in cry many instances. Patients whose lives would have speedily terminat ed and who would have suffered much intense agony have been en aoled fcy radium treatment to live for many years in comparative com fort after all the known resources of medicine and surgery had been ex hausted. "At the present moment," stales Dr. Hayward Pinch, "the institute case-sheets comprise the names of many patients suffering from recur- rent inoperable malignant disease who fust presented themselves for treatment some seven, eight, nine or 10 years ago, and who are now lead ing useful and comparatively healthy lives, the disease having been ren dered quiescent by the treatment which they have received." ! Since the radium institute was op ened in August, 1911, 7,750 patients) have been dealt with and nearly one hundred thousand treatments admin istered.
