When you hegiti to think that every find thing in the world ha been done .somebody thinks of sosiielhiug else. :o : The po.-dollice department at Washington is sending out dis play cards urging early mailing of holiday parcels. When Uncle Sam considers the value of ad vertising, it is time, Mr. Express Company, to get busy. :o: Secretary Garrison of the war department wants his share of that new revenue from the in come lax. He asks an ap propriation for the army of $10, 000,000 in excess of that of last oar. :o : President Klliot declares that the wage system must give way to the profit-sharing plan. How about (hose businesses which are not making any money? Wouldn't it Jje unjust to the wage-earner to make hini take his pay out f a deficit? :o: Keeping the boys and girls out of school to help do the work at home is just as foolish now as when we were young. There may be some cases where there are good reasons why some boy or girl eaniul finish the eighth grade before their school days are ended, but parents should do their best to see that they are not the reason. :o: A referendum on whether tur key or sardines should be served for Thanksgiving was taken in "the Mississippi penitentiary. The suo white convicts voted for turkey, but the 1,'J0 negroes voted fop sardines. The negroes merely wanted to prove that ini- tii-isoumenl iwui given ttieui a a contrite spirit. :o: Don't let the good roads proposition die out, even in win ter time. Jf it is possible to use the road drag at any time use. it, and keep the roads as good as von can until spring opens. Ilv doing a little work along at thi season of the year they won't be m hard to get in shape when spring does open up. . :o:- There is a great deal more liberty and freedom in thi country than folks suppose. Most of the hysterical movement am! crusades pinch out before reach ing maturity or the fat statute book. For instance, hat pins that were so dangerous and stirre the country so deeply for a time last summer still are on the free- to-wear list because the turkey trot had lo be swatted. What a peevish people we are. :o: l.very democrat in congress who desires to make a record for the present administration shoul support President Wilson's policy. The president is looked upon as the one responsible for the acts of congress. It is pre sumed, and correctly, too. that President Wilson Is doing every thing in his power-to carry out the full intent of the democratic platform, ami in this he shoul be supported by every democratic senator and congressman. We believe in President Wilson; we believe he will do right and for the best interest of the country, lie is a man in wlioni the Ameri can people have great confidence that he wilt do right and we do not believe any democratic sen ator or congressman should let selfishness interfere in his sup port of the president. at Plattsmouth, Neb.: Vtiljll-Jior- Tom Edison is the only man in the country who really wants to work, and the doctors are try ing to make him quit. :o: l'latlsmoulh presents unusual- ly good shopping advantages this year. Do your Christmas shop- ping in rialtsniouth, and do it h'w. :o: The child who does not develop angelic qualities at this season needs lo be sent lo a reformatory, The parents can never hope to do anything with him. :o: The currency bill is to be kept lo the fore until it is either en- acted or defeated. And if Presi- dent Wilson is to have his way il is not going to be defeated, and ought not be. ;o: I It seems a trifle to hang out I the sign "shop early," but the I early shopper gets the most sat-1 s factory results as a rule.

But if! a woman should try it now quitlposure to bright sunlight they your kidding. ;o: I The boycott of eggs is anius- I ing when we remember ttiat eggs J are always scarce at this season I for the reason that liens never I lay in late fall and early winter. I We may make a big fuss, but we will get no more eggs. In addi-l'rhe lion to the great scarcity tf fresh I - - i eggs, cold storage eggs are very I scarce; the hot summer lately passed resulted in the hens tak-I ing a vacation. Cold storage men are abused, but lately the bestl authorities agree that cold stor- lge is one of our greatest bless- mgs. o: If (here is any chance to boom business, boom it.

Rockefeller has just de clared would be utterly stamped out if sunlight were let in, just as disease germs are. And so lie suggests every nook and corner of our cities should be Hooded with all-night sunlight. Well, why not let the sun itself paint our houses with a bright glow, so that after dark they may radiate it brilliantly through the streets? Thus our city will be spontaneously illuminated, and we wuut jiave any expense for artincial cars and gas jets. This SUJjKeslioii is not nighty fantasy, ,t is tnu ialest seriously con- sidered project for utilizing that boundless energy of the sun which is poured down upon us almost daily and almost daily allowed to go It) waste, simply for lack of appliances to convert it j.at0 power. Now, after seven years of experiment, a l'hila- delphia engineer, Frank Shuman, has perfected, and set up on the edge of the desert near Cairo, Egypt, a profitable irrigation plant whoso pumps are run by sun-healed steam! Now that the ureal problem or using me suns energy for power has thus been, in one instance, solved at last, the Scientific American suggest, Jin a recent number, a new prob- em the above mentioned fan i : .-I. 1 it for illumination at night. To make this a reality, the Scientific American says, it would be only necessary to paint the buildings with some phosphorescent ma terial which possessed to a high ilegree the property known as "insolation." Certain substances such as the sulphides of calcium, are known to possess this power For a considerable time after ex- give off a marked luminosity. Uut the light thus obtained is loo feeble for practical use. So that the problem connected with this scheme is that of finding a new i . ... compound which w ill have a much greater capacity for stor ling and radiating the sun's light. necessary research for (hi substance in chemical and physical fields will be long and tedious. Hut we all know how- Edison labored over the problem I of electric lighting, and how he made a world-tour just to find the best filament-material for his I lamp. And he found it !

In theory, it is a howling success, but we doubt thai it will get very far in fact. It recalls a meat boycott of several years ago. when the plain people arose in their might and threatened to live on kippered oats, shredded hay and other vegetarian delica cies until the beef barons were humbled and padded prices punctured. Hut it didn't work, because the people didn't work it, and the egg embargo in Amei ican homes doubtless will fail for the same reason. To foreswear the cold storage egg is no ex ample in Oreat Restrain, but the product of the helpful hen is ; delightful' breakfast food when reasonably recent, and those who have the price will continue to nav if. So loner as the hens are l y - - -. j - on a strike, for grievances their own a boycott won't heli much. CONSIDER THE FIELD LILIES Significance oH!io Great Teach er's Parabolic Discourse. THE MASTER INTERPRETED. Lessens From the Sparrows Lessons From the Lilies Lessons of Divine, Providential Care Lessons For the World Lessons For. the Church. Lessons In Patience Lessons In Hope Lessons In Contentment. New York, Dec. 14. Pastor Uus sell sjKjke in The Temple today from the text, "A nil why take ye thought for raiment? Con sider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they tcil not. neither do they si in; and yet I say unto you. that even Solomon in all his glory Was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is. and to morrow Is east into the oven as fuel, shall lie not much more clothe you. o ye of little faith?" (Matthew 0:JSJ0.) Fastor Russell said in part: The great Teacher, we are to'd. taught In parables ami in dark sayings (not easily comprehended). Kvcn our Lord's disciples were in the dark con cerning the moauing of many of His statements until the Holy Spirit at Pentecost pave them enlightenment, as Jesus had promised. This being trio. we are not surprised that many have misapprehended some of the Master's dark sayings respecting the cutting off of a hand or a foot, the plucking nut of an eye. respecting undying worms and quenchless fires, and even in re spect to the text of todr.y. There are people of fair intelligence who interpret the Master to mean that His followers are not to labor as do the remainder of mankind for the ne cessities of life; that they should ex pect to be supported by others who do labor with sweat of face that they should be maintained by tithes, col lections, etc.. and toil and spin not nt all. We tielieve that such are making a great mistake, as did the mau re-. cently reported in the press as having cut off his hand in what he thought was obedience to the Master's instruc tion. We can sympathize with these errors of judgment, ii.it should avoid them and seek to have the spirit of the Master's teaching, which was al ways the spirit of u sound mind. In His discourse Jesus had called the attention of His hearers to the fact that the Gentiles the heathen were continually thinking about their tem poralities and praying alwiit those "What shall we cat? What shall we drink? Wherewithal shall we bo clothed?" "But your Father know eta what things ye have need of le fore ye ask Him." Let your worry. therefore, if you have worries, be tor something higher and nobler than merely the necessities of life. Consid er that while you were once alious and strangers through sin. disobedi ence to the Divine Law. you have now been brought back into accord with God and are privileged to address Him in prayer. "Our Father, which urt la Heaven." If we have the faith to believe that God through Christ has accepted us as His children, we should as children trust our Parent in respect to all the affairs of life great and small food aDd raiment everything. Hut here comes the important iHlnt the crucial test. Are we the children of God? Is He our Heavenly Father? Ilns He be gotten us of the Holy Spirit? Are our sins forgiven? Are we reconciled to God through the death of His Sou? Are we children "and If children, then heirs of God and joint-heirs with Je sus Christ" our Lord? Upon the answers to these questions being in the affirmative is the strength uf the basis of all our faith and hoie. If we are not God's children, if we have not come in His appointed way. through Christ, then we are Mill aliens and strangers. Then our affairs are not under His supervision; but we are with the world sharers in the sentence of death, each doing for hiuiseif ac cording to his ability in battling against death, and, like all Gentiles, giving our chief concern to fond, rai ment and hollow earthly ambitions knowing not, appreciating not. the higher, the Heavenly, privileges In Christ. The Heart of the Lesson. We perceive then that the lesson is not for the world in general, except indirectly. The world. Jcaml.ig that these words are applicable only to the consecrated people of God. might prop trly be desirous that they might apply also to themselves. And If they are thus desirous of having God for their Father and His providential care in all of their affairs, the Ieson to them wouH be that they should cone into relationship with God through Christ, that they should beenme His children. In order to enjoy the privileges and favors which belong to none others at the present time. The heart of the lesson is thnt the Heavenly F;itb?r U mot grn i..u: and that ll:s te?ider mercies me over nil Ilia creatures who are in harmony US fPASTQR. RUSSELL) with Hlnx. We may bo sure that utaongst aU the Heavenly host there ia neither', hunger nor want, neither 6uTering nor pain.-nor any disadvan tage whatever. Their Heavenly Fa ther knoweth what things they need, and provides bountifully for them. The Church is to learn this same les son ami to rejoicingly work by faith, enjoying full confidence nnd trust In Him who loved us and bought us with the precious blood of His Son. These children of God need not feel harassed respecting life's. experiences. They have a Heavenly Father, and He knows their needs better than they do, and is both able and willing to give what Is best for them. And if their experiences in the family of God shall bring them less prosperity and more adversity, more trials, more diillculties. and necessitate more economies than Ix fore they became Ills childrtn. they are instructed that, walking by faith and not by sight, they shall firmly trust Illm, come what may. Learning Lessons of Faith. AU who can lay claim to being chil dren of God by faith can surely be lieve that He who is able to provide for the birds and the lilies 1 no less able and no less willing to provide fir those who have tecome Ills children through Christ those for whom He gave His Only I'egotfen Son. Would lie redeem them with that precious Sacrifice and then have no care for tlvclr future welfare? Would He beget children with Ills Holy Spirit and then be negligent in providing for their ne cessities? Nay! God will net over look the interests of His consecrated children, nnd whatever may seem to be an oversight and lack of provision is to be understood to be in reality the reverse that which the Heavenly Fa ther sees to be for their highest and best intcri-sts. "So Clothe the Grass." The Master called attention to the beauty of the lily. Much i- discernible to the natural eye. and still mre when we exaniUM the perfections of the flow er ruicrosropicnlly. . Wonderful indeed Is the raiment of the lily! Solomon in all his glory had no such seamless roto. aud no such ierfect texture for bis rai rueut. ' Perhaps the Master had a deeper thought respecting raiment thau ap pears on the surface by His words. "Shall He. not uiuch more clothe you?" While He assuredly luear.t that we are to trust Heavenly provision for our natural clothing, it would apin-ar that He may have meant a clothing for us as New Creatures the spotless, seam less 'robe of Christ's rizhteoustw-s. granted to us as a wedding jrarnier.t. in the merit of which we have access to all the riches of Gods grace it the present life and. if faithful, shall be granted an abundant entrance Into His everlasting Kingdom. "Take No Anxious Thought." God takes thought re-i-eting the Ii fine plans uul arrangements Jesus thought out carefully the coarse He pursued; and He instructed those wh were desirous of being His disciples to sit down and carefully count the cost. All these things show us th.il the Mas ter Would not have His followers thoughtless, lilng merely moment by moment, failing to mike provision for the seasons, the weather, the t.ible. etc. What He meant, what the Grok text fully bears out. Is that His fol lowers should have no worry respect ing temporalities. Having exercised thought, prudence, care, having done to the best of their judgment and ability, not slothfully, but energetical ly, they are to rest the matter, realiz ing that nil their affairs are placed in the hands of the Heavenly Father through Christ, and that all the Heav enly powers are pledged to make all things work together for good to them, because they love God and have been called according to His purpose- "Seek Ye Chiefly the Kingdom." While anxious care whs not to bo ex ercised respecting temporalities, great care was to be exercised ia rrsject to anything appertaining to the Kingdom. Tho call of the Church i to tnctuUT shlp in the great Kingdom of Cd. of which Christ Is the Head, the Chief King; we may be under kings and un der priests, associated with our Ke deemer iu nis great Messianic work of a thousand years. It was to attain a share In that Kingdom that we made consecration of our lives, our wills, our all. to the -Lord; and ouly through great tribulation can we enter that Kingdom. As God is pleased to set ur restfulness respecting temporali ties of life when He has agreed t pro vide for ns according to Ills Wisdom nnd in response to our efforts, so He Is plea seil to see. on the contrary, our zeal, our perseverance, our almost wor rying that the great prize of the King dom should not le lost by ns. The reason for wishing ns to thus worry for the Kingdom, and nt to worry for earthly things, is evident n reflection. To worry about earthly things would l to show a faithless ness nnl doubt la respoct to GM and Ills promised care. I5ut our attaining the Kingdom or our failing to attain It is made dependent only on ourselves. God has already done His part. II has provided the I'edeeir.er and the forgiveness of sins. He has opened up the way whereby we might return Into Flis family."" When we came unto Hini through Jesus. II accepted u and gave us the legettlng of the Spirit nnd. with it. a right to ai! the great and precious promises, anl joint-heirship with Jesus on condition of our faith fulness. Romans 8:17; 2 Peter 1:12. Hence, to agonize for the Kingdom, to strive for the Kingdom, to run with patience, to f c!;t a good fight, to en dure hardness all these expressions indicate the great zeal and earnestness nec.ss;iry on the part of tho nh would be a-.vo'inteij cou'iiurors yea. "more than conquerors, through Ilira who loveJ us and bought us witi Ills precious blood." Is it any wonder that God shouM expect ns to be very zealous la striv ing to attain the Kingdom? WouM He g'.ve so great an honor to anv h- valued it lightly? Surely angels ai.d cherubim would be glad to accept p- sitions In the Kingdom if o?f-r-l to then! Hut God has passed ty t! angels, aud iavited menifxTs cf tf.- fallen race, whose henrts have turn-! to Him. that they might lecon.e, r. t only justified, from th?ir In. 1 1: sanctified through Christ and heirs t the Kingdom. Is it any wonder that the I.orl b-s provided that only through much trib ulation shall any er.tr The Klrgl -r. Whoever Is not wilting to endure triv ulatioit for the Kingdom's sike wor."d thereby show that he h i I not t'n proper appreciation and that ho ! rot worthy of it. If the Master rv! ire,I even unto death, how ru'd we rx Iect that we might tj Joint N-io w:r' Him unless we po"-,",rd Ills His zeal? Thus the Lord t!'s m f. t all who wi 1 attain the Kingdom s' ties wl'.l 1k copies of Ills r What Must We Endure? Here the q'ietion rr"pr!y arises. What i-i to 1 i!urtt- Trli.it V. .nt sufferings? And wb:'t is the rvil nh).-t of these sufferings? Why should God d. light to make 11s u?Ter I-ef-..r he w.u ! give us a place In the King-loin? Tim IJible answers these p!esf io;,s satisfactorily.
