READING LESSON-Matt. 7:21-29.
GOLDEN TEXT-"He hath ahowed
thee, O man, wiiat Is good; and what
doth the Lord require of thee, but to do
justly, and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with thy Qod."-Mlcah s:s.
There Is no chronological order to
the lessons for the past quarter,
though thoy have all been selected
from the period of the Perean ministry
of our Lord, Tho thought of the Gold
en Text, rather than the reading les
son, will serve to give us a connected
review.
The lessons have chiefly concerned
Jesus as the great Teacher, thus we
notice the Inclusive noto of the first
clause of tho Golden Text. "He hath
showed thee, O man, what Is good."
As an exposition of that note we have
presented God's plan of action, out
ward, "to do justly, aid to love mercy,"
and inwardly "to walk humbly with
thy God." With this thought In mind
let us divide lessons ot the quarters
Into two sections: (1) The first seven
lessons which have to do with man's
relation to the kingdom in Us outward
manifestation, and (2) the remaining
nve that have to do with "walking
Uhmbly with thy God."
At Children.
I. The first section. In order to
keep this two-fold thought before us,
we must observe carefully the several
golden texts. In the. first lesson we
have set before us the manner where
by we are to enter into this new
kingdom. We must enter as chil
dren and the Golden Text, "Likewise,
ve younger, bo subject unto the
elder ... for God reslsteth the
proud, but glveth grace to the hum
pie," illustrates the humility of chil
dren and the necessity of our right
relationship to them. The second les
son deals with the possibility ot co
operation with him in service,' e
when the 70 went before his face.
Great privileges, however, when
abused, bring condemnation and deg
radation. "It Is not you that speak,
but the Spirit of your Father that
speaketh in you." The third lesson
"The Good Samaritan" is another ex
pression of the outward walk of life,
that of loving mercy. True love never
asks who It may, but rather who it
can, serve, it always maiuiesu it
self In sacrifice and in service "Thou
halt love thy neighbor as thyself."
The story of service actually ren
dered to our Lord in the days of his
fleBh is the subject of the fourth les
son. All other interests and ties mast
be secondary to our allegiance and
obedience to him "Inasmuch as ye
did It unto one of these, my brethren,
even these least, ye did It unto me."
The fifth lesson concerns prayer. The
parable of the unfriendly neighbor and
the effect of prayer to bring about just
relations is revealed In the Golden
Text which is the heart ot that les
son. "Ask, and It shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it
shall be opened unto you." The sixth
lesson still continues to treat this out
ward aspect and reveals to us the
fact that great as Satan is, our Lord
Jesus has far greater power.
Must Walk Humbly.
II. The second section. We now
come to a group ot lesions that seem
to emphasize tho second part of God's
requirements, as expressed In the
Golden Text for today, viz., "and to
wAltr hnmhlv with thv God." This
is the Inward, personal, relation with
God, as against our outward, ngni
eous relations with men. Theso re
maining leBsons deal with the abiding
principles ot dlsclpleshlp which,
Jesus gave to his followers. The
eighth lesson reveals the principle ot
a true confession of Chrl&t to be that
of the faith which makes fear impos
sible. We aro to fear God alone. In
the ninth lesson we see that tho true
fulfillment ot life Is that of having
tho heart set upon the true treasure,
which Is spiritual, rather than upon
tho false treasuro which is material,
for, "Where your treasuro Is, there
will bo your heart also." In lesson
ten wo have set bofore us tho prin
ciple of faithful servlco which Is that
of watchfulness for the returning
King, and which expresses itself lu per
petual service in his Interest and on
behalf ot his household. "Blessed
are thoso servants whom the Lord,
when he cometh, shall find watching."
The principle of the religion of Christ
Is that of compassion (lesson 11),
and tho true sanction ot the Sabbath
la fulfilled in such service as makes
the Sabbath possible to those who are
In need. It Is, therefore, lawful to
do good on the Sabbath.
Lesson 12 deals with the vital Issue
of this second section, viz., that It Is
of far more Importance that we be In
Excepting the Lesser Shrew It Is the
Smallest British Mammal
, Known.
London. Excepting tho lesser
shrew, tho smallest British mammal Is
the harvest mouse. The length of its
body Is about two Inches, and of its
tall about a qiajirter of an inch longer.
The color of tho back and flanks Is
yellowish brown, and underneath it la
almost puro white. Tho earliest Eng
lish description of OiIb mouse is con
tained In a letter of Gilbert White,
written In 17G7 to Thomas Pennant In
which he snys: "From the color, shape,
SPBBBBBBBBBsR & i'sfi IflaV
Harvest Mouse.
Blze and manner of nesting, I make no
doubt but that the species 1b nonde
script . . . They never enter houses;
are carried Into ricks and barns with
the sheaves; abound in harvest; and
build their nests amid tho straws of
the corn abovo the ground, and some
times in thUtles. They breed as many
as eight at a litter, in a little round
nest, composed of the blades of grass
or wheat." In a later letter Gilbert
Whlto says: "Two of them, In ascale,
weighed down just ono copper half
penny, which Is about 'the third of an
ounce ndvolrdupois; so that I suppose
thoy aro the smallest quadrupeds In
this Island." Formerly tho neBts ot
harvest mlco wore commonly found in
standing corn, but the close cutting
reaping machines played havoc with
thorn and they areseldom found In
crops nowadays. Tho summer nest is
about the size of an orange, made of
grass, corn blades or split leaves of
reeds cunningly woven together. The
most usual situation of their nests Is
In tho tangled herbage along the sides
ot fields and in ditches, among the
heads of thistles and sometimes in
reeds. The winter nest is a more
solid structure. It Is made of mosses
and is completely closed. Sometimes
they enter hay ricks In the winter and
keep warm in largo companies to
gether. The harvest mouse Is fairly
abundant In the southern counties of
England, and 1b very rare In Scotland;
In Wales and Ireland it is unknown.
The food consists of seeds and the
tender shoots ot young leaves and also
Insects. No doubt many harveBt mice
fall victims to hawks and weasels.
"BOUND FOR
WESTERN CANADA"
A PRAIRIE SCHOONER SLOGAN,
THAT STARTED FROM
NEBRASKA.
Four horses abreast attached to a
red painted prairie schooner, with
windows and a protruding stovepipe,
with the words, "Bound for Canada,"
on the schooner's side, was the object
of considerable interest as It passed
on the way northward from Nebraska
a short time ago through the towns
In Nebraska, South and North Dakota.
After somo weeks of strenuous travel
ing in this way, Mr. J. F. Jensen made
the overland trip from, Jameson, Ne
braska, and with his little family made
the regular customs entry at North
Portal, in the province of Saskatche
wan. Their destination was Willow
Bunch, a district that Mr. Jensen,
had selected as one In which It was
possible for him to work out his for
tune. Ho located oma good half sec
tion of land, and intended putting on
It some cattle that would fatten on
the wild prairie grass that grows so
luxuriously in that district. In addi
tion to this his purpose was to culti
vate a portion of it and raise whoat,
oats, barley or flax. In short, a life
devoted to mixed farming was what
he had In view and It Is easy to un
derstand that he will make a success
ot It, and In a year or so will attach
some mora 'land holdings.
Although his beginning may be
small, It may safely be said that Mr.
Jensen, like thousands of others who
have begun life in western Canada on
no more and with probably much less,
will prosper. He will not ba far from a
line of railway. Schools will be close
at hand and other social conditions so
necessary in a new country are avail
able. Advertisement
MERELY A LAW OF NATURE
What at First Looks Like a Peculiar-
ity of Running Water Is Easy
of Explanation.
Have you ever noticed, when the
water has almost all run out ot the
bathtub, how tho light particles on
tho surface seem then to race out
much faster than tho water? As a
matter ot fact, thoy are traveling
faster than most of the water; but
no faster than that on the surface.
The reason Is not far to seek. Run
ning water, even In a river, goes nt
different rates; but fastest on the top
surface right in the middlo of the
stream. Friction with the sides and
bottom makes the water there go
more' slowly. So tho light particles
on top of the water In the bathtub,
rush ahead at a good rate.
This peculiarity in rivers Is utilized
by boatmen when they have to go up
a swirt stream; they always paddle
up near the bank. And at curves, as
the water swings outward, they take
the inside bank; for there the water
is almost still. On the other hand, in
coming down, the very center of the
stream is chosen. Sunday Magazine.

FRENCH DOG THEIR NEMESIS
Two Alleged Bank Robbers
Down by Clue of Small
Poodle.
Run
Connellsvllle, Pa. "Jerry," a French
poodle, led to the arrest ot two al
leged bank robbers here. James Rey
nolds, Jr., aged twenty-one, and Mar
tin Mullln, aged twenty, were arrested
hero on complaint of Julius Beller ot
Johnstown, who told the police that
his bank had been entered and $1,000-
stolen.
The Johnstown police learned that
Reynolds had telephoned to friends
In Johnstown nnd the police there
notified the local authorities to arrest
him, saying that probably he would
have a French poodlo dog with him.
The two men wero arrested, nnd when
taken to tho lockup Reynolds had in
his pocket $206.05, It is said, and
ilullln had $100. The young men ad
mitted robbing tho bank, It Is alleged,
but each blamed tho other with taking
tho money.

Tarrytown, N. Y. The New York
Central railroad was tied up by a

his way Into a conduct at the Main
street crossing, short circuiting all
