A few may prefer the precarious existence of the tramp, or pauper; but they must pay the price in homelessness and hazard. Except for abnormal social conditions, the vile housing of the poor, the hopeless monotony and overlong hours of most forms of unskilled labor, the lure of drink, and the deprivation of the natural joys of life, there would be few of these voluntary idlers among the poor.
It is true that subsequently, on September 24, 1918, the Chinese and Japanese Governments by exchange of notes at Tokio entered into agreements affecting the Japanese occupation of the Kiao-Chau Tsinan Railway and the adjoining territory, but the governmental situation at Peking was too precarious to refuse any demands made by the Japanese Government.

Glorious peace, precious rest, delightful confidence! A certain woman lived a precarious existence, but she was so happy in her life with Jesus that she was the marvel of her town. You have given all to God, let Him keep all of you and for you. Doubts! doubts! doubts! Just a company of them around me all the time worse than Job's miserable comforters. What can I do with them?
The crane chains swung forward, picked up the ladle of molten metal, and shifted it through the air to a position over a circular group of moulds.
