The Divinity of Christ Cannot be Doubted "Is there any sane reason why any one could not. be loyal to his Creator?" Hon. A M. Keene, speaker of the House of Representatives thinks not absolutely. "But Christ was only a mere man," answers the skeptic.

Mr. Keene, in his lecture-sermon on "The Divinity of Christ" which he delivered at the Presbyterian church last night, gave several unanswerable proofs that he was not a mere man, that he was divine In the first place he spoke of the 1500 prophesies in the old testament, which depict the life of Christ almost in detail. He quoted a prophesy of Isaiah, which was written 8 centuries before Christ in which he depicts the Character of Christ. "And no one," said Mi Keene, "has ever come to fulfill these 1500 prophesies but Christ." The speaker gave the part that God played in the life of Christ while on earth as another proof. Under this point he gave a brief sketch of the life of Christ, pointing out instances where the hand of God guided him; and the two times that God announced, "This is mv beloved son in whom I am well pleased Mr.

Keene said that in his mind the fact that Christ had power over things earthly, over death, and was a ruler in heaven were proofs of his divinity, and cited instances of these powers. "Christ appeared tn times recorded after his resurrection and three times after his- ascension to Paul on the road to Damascus, to Stephen when he was being stoned, and to John on the Isle of Patmos when he gave him the Book of Revelation. Paul had been prosecuting attorney at the trial of Christ and believed him an im-poster. He obtained an order to prosecute the Christians in Damascus although he knew. After Christ appeared to him on the road he forsook his people to follow the Master." As another proof Mr.

Keene said that almost twenty churches have been founded in which Christ had no part, but they have not lived nor prospered. Even back at the time of the Sanhedrin, when the court tried to stDp the people from worshiping Christ, a lawyer said that if it were a religion of God, no order of the court could stop them, but if it were of men time would tell, it would not live. Mr. Keene next outlined the lives and triumphs of Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar and Napoleon, all great warriors, who lost their power with one defeat and whose influenw ceased with their death, and in contrast showed that, while Christ's influence while on earth was mediocre, his influence and glory began with his death, and have gom on and increased. "His life began with a miracle and ended with a miracle to my mind," said Mr.

Keene. "There can be no doubt of God, and the divinity of Christ." Salina Union. Kafir, Fet, and Milo Maize See samples of millet, cane, kafir, fet, and milo maize in A. H. Wilson's office.

Figures giving the exports of the United States during the last year, as issued by the department of commerce, give a comprehensive idea of the vast resources of the United States. The great significance of these figures is that they represent an output in excess of our own requirements Whereas in 1914 we sold boots and shoes worth 18 million in 1916 we sent, mainly to Europe, 47 million dollars worth. It is even more interesting to know that in 1916 we sold abroad footwear for 23 million pairs of feet. WE OUT-KRUPP THE KRUPPS.

It took a little plant south of the Potomac. which had bpen employ ng 250 i men, and transrormed it inco an industrial city with 30,009 on the pay roll. The Westinghouse company employs 8 000 in its Springfieid and Chicopee factories in the manufacture of the small arms alone. There has been no development more thrilling than that of the Etethlehen Steel Company, which now has a capacity far greater than that of the Krupps works at Essen, hitherto the great ordnance factories of theworld.

While in the tonnage the American navy ranks a little below second place, it has the world's hest first line of warships of heavy gun powder. According to the latest record, the American navy totals 1,097,502 tons displacement, taking into account both ships built and building. This tonnage compares with the following tor the great powers on July 1, 1914: Great Britain. 2.713,756; Germany, France, Japan, Russia, Italy, 497.815; and Austria-Hungary, 372,008. MEN AVAILABLE Available organized land forces of the United States todav amount, roughly, to 265.000 officers and men made up of 125.000 regulars and 140,000 National Guardsmen, including those still in the federal service and those under state control.

In a serious emergency nearly 18 million men are available for military service in the United States, according to an estimate of the executive committee of the committee on national defense ap pointed by Mayor Mitchel of New York. There are now physically fit for service in the field, it was said, 10,535,940 men between the ages of 18 and 45. According to the census of 1910, the males between 18 and 44 years, not included in the original forces of the United States, amounted to 20,538,347 men. France is now said to have one person out of very six in her population serving in the army or navy. If the United States and her insular possessions ever made such an eff rt, taking the present population as 112 million, the president would have at his disposal no leys than 18.666,666 men.

This is probably more men than Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey together have in the field today.
