CopyrlBtit. 191S, Wctern Ncwipnper Union.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 26 JEHOVAH'S GRACIOUS PROMISES TO ISRAEL (REVIEW). LESSON TKXT-lIosea 14. OOLDEN TEXT-Jchovah la merciful unil Krucloua, Blow to anger, nnd abundant Jn loving kti.dncas.-I'Ba. 103:8 It V. Tho burden of punishment descend d upon Israel, not bocauso of tho vindlctlvo charactor ot Jehovah, but bocauso of tho persistent pursuit of .sin on the part of tho nation. Tho lessons ot tho past quarter ex -tend from tho latter days ot Elijah, About DOC I). C to tho fall and cap tivity of Israol (tho northorn king -dom) I). C. 722 (Doochor), a period or 180 years. Soma contond that tho les son for November 14, Daniel at tho King's Court, is chronologically tho last and ought to havo been put at tho end of tho sorics. During tho past quarter wo havo studlod about six kings, Ahab, Joash, Nobuclmdnozznr, the king of Nineveh, Uzzlnh and Ho-iihea- also six prophets, Elijah, Eli sun, Daniel, Jonah, Amos and Hosca; and ono Boldlor, Nnaman. A good method ot review would bo to have assigned to different scholars or classes each of tho foregoing per sonages and to glvo a report of his chief characteristics. Material for such a revlow is easily accessible An other method of rovlcw would bo to take up the Iosboiib serially and in connection with each read somo ap propriate Scrlpturo verses that will servo to omphaslzo or to illustrate tho chief fact of each lesson. Lesson I. Tho weak King Ahaz (strong in his pcrvorslty) is easily persuaded to do evil in order to grati fy hl covetousnoss. Elijah nt God's command goes to meet Ahab who cries out, "Hast thou found mo, O my enemy?" In reply Elijah delivers Clod's word; that word to us is found in Ex. 2C:17. (Lot each Scrlpturo ref erence be read In full.) Lesson II. Tho veteran champion Elijah is about to go homo and his moro youthful follower, Ellshn, has ono chief dcslro (Bee II Kings 2:9), which pcralstontly followed Is abund antly rowurded. Tho lesson for us Is found in tho master's prayer, John 14:16. Lesson III. The stricken soldier, Nnamnn, at a child's suggestion, ap peals to God's prophet, Elisha, for healing. Ho is directed how ho may bo cured and after somo hesitation returns homo cleansed. Tho lesson for us Is that of being faithful amid life's experiences and of doing and living for othors (see also Romans 32-20, 21.) Lesson IV. Tho servant of Ellsha Is very much excited. King and ennip nro in despnlr, yet tho prophet Is not disturbed. Why? Lot us read II Kings 0-17. Itomomber that Jesus, tho muster ot men, refused to avail himself of like angelic assistance In hlr great bnttlo concornlng sin (See Matt. 2G:G3). Chrlstaulty is a religion ol lovo, not of force. Lesson V. Tho faithful priest pre serves tho rightful king Joash, and makes n covonnnt between him and the Lord, viz., that prince, priest nnd pcoplo "should bo tho Lord's pcoplo" UI Kings 11:17). Through tho mer its ot our high priest tbero has been made a better, even an everlasting covenant (Hob. 13:20, 21). Lesson VI. Again rofers to tho good king, Joash. Tho neglected tomple Is restored and refurnished through the liberality of tho people. This tomple is a typo of our bodies, which are spiritual tomploa (Eph. 2:22), and the lesson for us is not only tho care of tho body, but ot liberality towards tho work and worship of God's house. Lesson VII. This is tho lesson which is chronologically out of order, out is used for its temperance applica tion. Daniel, the clean youth, staked hlB life and position upon obeying the word of God (Dan. 1:8) Tho le&son for us Is tho exhortation of tho apos tle Paul (Eph. GT13-17, seo also I Pet. 6:8). Lesson VIII to the foreign mission ary lesson. Jonah's life story 1b not a flattorlng ono, yet when ho faithful ly proclaimed God's word It wrought a marvelous transformation in great and wicked Nlnovoh. (Read carefully Matt. 10:10 and Isa. 55:10, 11). Wo are to herald, witness to the truth and leavo tho resulta with God. Lesson IX presents Amos, tho stur dy prophet of civic and moral right eousness, tho great mosscngor ot tho "Tightness" of things (Amos 5:11). The gist of this lesson for us will ho found In tho words ot Jesus (Matt. 6:33). Lesson X. Uzzlah Is that king who could not withstand prosperity and who, in the development ol his prldo (II Chrou. 26:5, 16), assumed to dis obey tlio word ot God. Lesson XI. Enter lloseu. Let the entire hcIiooI stnto tho message ot tho prophet to tho pcoplo of Israel, "1 will heal their backsliding. 1 will lovo them freely" (Hosca 14:4). Then let all rocito tho "Uttlo gospel" (John 3:16) "For God so loved the world that ho gavo bis only begotten Hon that whosoever bellovcth In htm should not polish, but havo everlast ing lifo."

Good fabrics out last stylos, and u fliilt Is often regret fully consigned to tho discard, not bo causo It Is worn but because stylos have changed slnco it was mudo. A suit that Is required to do moro than ono season's sorvlco without any alteration should bo conservative in stylo. A plain skirt of medium full ness, and a box coat or ono ot tho plain, BcnilfUted modols, if well mado of good mntorlal and fine finish, is nevor out of tho running. A good model to follow In remaking a suit is shown In tho picture given hero.
