THE NEWS-RECORD, MARSHALL, NORTH- CAROLINA. JAMES BRYCE A BUSY MAN - j The Rt Hon. James Bryce, when be loft the British embdssy at Washing ton, announced that he was retiring from public life. That may have been true, but like many another retired British statesman, he Is finding that he is busier in his retirement than he was aB an ambassador. Since his return to London from his around-the-world trip,' Mr. Bryce lias had not many days to himself. He did for a few weeks go Into retirement at his modest country home, "Hind leap," Forest Row, Sussex, but hU retirement was almost entirely taken up In writing, for Mr. Bryce Is cer tain to give the public something about the countries he visited after leaving America, and perhaps a book about . America. . His real work henceforth,' however, will doubtless be, as one writer has aptly put it, "to express the needs of the community upon the broader sides tfryce has delivered a number of addresses on a great variety of subjects. As jwpuiar aa ne was in America as a speaker, he is likely to become as popular u ujb uwu country, . ' KING FERDINAND AS SUPPLIANT King Ferdinand spent the inontu of . November In Vienna, a humble sup- pliant' for his own throne. It Is said, s Because of this visit, the report went forth from Sofia that this talented scion of the house of Coburg. who but a short time ago was to revive in all of Its ancient glories and breadth and width the old Bulgarian empire. Is to be forced to abdicate in favor of his own son, Crown Prince Boris. , The role of suppliant ,slts so III on no one as It does on this proud, ambi tious man. He has all the pride of rank and fariiily and the yearning for suc cess .where others have railed and where he came so near achieving. He comes 6f two great families, a son of Prince 'Aoguste of Saxe-Coburg and Princess Clementine, daughter of Louis Philippe, king of France, and Is thus a cousin to most of the crowned heads of Europe. It was but five years ago that he paid another visit to Vienna and .a well and diplomatically performed his mission that he returns to Sofia 'to Hr. u.7 106 day at Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia wereegovtna Prince Ferdinand proclaimed the Independence of Bulgaria the ?hlZP . 18.ter,u Rume" the assumption by himself of royalty at iu mo tuicieni Bulgarian capital of Tlrnovo , , t. .'i.But.!h .1,sasters and blunders of diplomacy followed one on top i 1, f Z IT P8cked wlth more epoch 1?k,nK event" than ever before in the history of Bulgaria, and the restless, ambitious Ferdinand saw his vast schemes and his grand dreams of empire dissipated.. . f w" to that a klng t0 whom Bulgarians could not have paid sum dent honor a few months ago was away from his capital.

TO RAISE LARGE SUM Millions of Red Cross Christmas Seals to Be Sold for Antl-Tubercu- . ; .. ; losls Work. Few people have any idea of the magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas seal campaign. This year over 100, 000,000 seals have been printed and distributed. If placed end-to-end these seals would extend nearly 2,400 miles, or practically from New York to Salt Lake City. They have been sent to over 25,000 different agents and will be sold and handled , by an army of not less than 100,000 volun teers, Including men. women and chil dren. Millions of advertising circu lars hatf e been scattered throughout me country, and so thoroughly has the advertising campaign been br ganlzed that It Is doubtful if many people in the more populous states of the country will not have heard of me nea uroBS seal and its mission In the prevention of tuberculosis. It Is hoped that at least 60,OOQ,000 seals may be , sold this year. . The principle upon which the cale of seals Is based Is that every cent except what little is needed to cover the actual cost of printing and handling shall be spent for tuberculosis work in the commu nity, where the seals are sold.

Then fol lows an account of his campaigns. A military critic has classed Joshua with the Alexanders, Caesars, Napoleons, Wellingtons and Grants of all ages. Hie dealing with the Qibeonltes and Its after effects was one error in his campaign, for he failed to take coun sel of Jehovah. At the close of the war (ch. 11) Joshua is ready to divide the long-promised Inheritance, chap ters 12-21. Those left behind, vv. 1-5. Read carefully Numbers ch. 32 to recall the story of those whof like Lot of old, saw good grazing land and chose it in preference to that on the farther side of Jordan, that possessed by the "chil dren of Anak." Subsequent history reveals the foolishness of their choice, for they were the first td fall before the enemies of Israel when the king dom was broken ud. The Levites (v. 4) were not to have a portion but rather they were to dwell in selected cities with suburban property. Caleb Not an Israelite. II. Caleb claims his Inheritance, w. 6-iz. Joshua was old and stricken In years (13:1) and now Israel is be fore him, each of the remaining nine and one-half tribes, to have appor tioned unto them a permanent dwel ling place after tHe long years of wil derness wandering, and the more re cent campaign of subjugation. Before Joshua casts the lot, however, Caleb recalls the promise Moses had made to him 45 years before (v. 10). From a comparison of v. 6 R. V., Gen. 15:19 and Josh. 15:13 it appears that Caleb was not an Israelite by birth, but nev ertheless be claims an inheritance among them, based upon the promise of Moses, "the man of God,", because he had "wholly followed the Lord my uod v. 9. His name literally means "a dog" yet this dog of a Gentile got more than the crumbs that fell from the master's table, Matt 15:26. Caleb rested upon the sure word of God, and to remember. this promise was not an act of selfishness. How those events in the valley of Eschel must have etood out In the memory of Caleb and Joshua. They remembered how their companions caused the hearts of the people "to melt" Num. 14:37. That day s work was one of serious results and so shall it be for their imitators of the present day. To see the giants and 'not as Caleb, to see God had brought death. In his heart, however, caieo treasured God's word and now at eighty-five he has not alone been "kept alive,", but he is as strong as on that day, when In the prime of his manhood, Moses had sent him forth with the twelve. Remembered God's promise. in. A promise fulfilled w. 13-15 Joshua at once recognizes the justness and validity of Caleb's claim. He re membered God's promise, Num. 14:24- tfu; ueut. 1:36-38, therefore he at once grants the request and adds to it his blessing. Hebron, means "joining.1 "union," "fellowship." : Thus we sea Caleb entering into all the rights, privileges and blessings of any of the descendants ... of Jacob. Is this not typical of pur privilege in Christ Je- bus? John 15:5; 14:20; I. John 1:3. See also Matt. 8:11. 12. The only con- amon is that of faith in God and in his Word, Gal. 3:7, 26, 29.
