I Prayer never goes higher than the Boot unless you put your soul into Boor words. I Inability to explain things does not lessen their reality. It only proves human frailty. I’nless this country is made a good place for all of us to live m, it won’t be a good place for any of us to live in.—Roosevelt. Money is a means of exchange, and we too often exchange it for something mean. Human things must be known to be loved, hut divine things must be lovled to he known. If you cannot travel, remember that the virtue of a lighthouse lies in its I shining in one place. I plead for your decision. If God be God, if Christ be the Redeemer, if Divine Justice and love be the surpassing virtues, then serve them forever.—S. Parkes Cadman. Backsliding has become something like the devil; while he has gone out of fashion, nevertheless he is doing business at the old stand. A novel life, crowned with heroic death, rises above and outlives the pride and pomp and glory of the flightiest empire of the earth —James A. Garfield. 'file need nf the hour Is not more legislation. The need of the hour is tnore religion. More religion is needed everywhere — from the halls of congress to the factories, mines and forests. It is one thing to talk about plans and policies, but a plan and a policy without a religious motive is like a watch without a spring or a body without thei breath of life.— Roger W. Babson.

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION *

Saul Becomes a Christian — Acts 9:1-12, IZ-18—for Sunday, May 17. 1. What had Paul done —as an opponent of Christianity? 2. What is conversion? What are the evidences of true conversion? 3. —At what ages do conversions mostly take place? 4. —How far are we responsible for our own conversion? 5. —Why do men need to be converted?* , Clericus says: What splendid and powerful preaching began when Saul was converted. We all sit under its divine eloquence and inspired genius, and while we cannot speak with the same tongue yet may we all in our humble way proclaim Jesus that He is the Son of God. The world needs not only great oceans and rivers, but also the little streams that feed the nteadows and even the tiny raindrops. LESSON PRAYER Dedr Saviour, give us the knowledge of the blessedness of telling the story of thy love. We thank thee that we can speak for thee. Loose our tongues;, make us as fluent in talking of thee as we are when we are speaking of matters of minor importance. Amen. i

Weekly Story Os Early Education In The Homes

I I Lying Cured. Austin Phelps tells the following incident which illustrates a practical method for parents dealing with a lying child. A child of seven’s first falsehood s was discovered by father coming home , from a journey exhausted. His voice I trembled with emotion, his face dulled with a deadly pallor, and his tones trembled as he spoke of the holiliess of truth and of the beauty of honor. I Beneath his breath he touched for a moment upon the tendency of false- ! hood in the heart. “Liars," he said, | in an awestruck-all but inaudible tone,l "liars go to hell.” Then he bowed' () h's face and wept bitterly. . Those heavy sobs affected what word or rod could not have done. ( Awed into shame, silenced by this revelation of the truth that “no soul sinneth to itself." the child crept to! , his feet and sobbed with him. At! f 1 C that hour the abhorence of dishonor, f was born in the heart. That lie was a the last.

n t THE QUESTION BOX I.

i0 (Send problems in question form to Church editor; anse wers will appear in later is- -. sue.) v I.—Would you try lecture missioni. ary instruction in the Sunday school ~ where the school is large? . The story method of missionary instruction in the opening service is very effective. The lecture method presupposes more time then can be e allowed in the opening service and g can be used best in class work espece ially for senior and adult classes. o I 2. —Will you indicate some inter- .. esting diversions for a Sunday school ~ pichic? I An egg hunting contest, wooden p eggs being hidden over the grounds; | ~ other contests such as nail-drawing, wood sawing, doughnut and pie eatu ing, box-making (where each contest- . ant is supplied with six pieces of wood, tuck hammer and nails.) Suggested races are potato, egg ami spoon, sack, three-legged, wheel-bar-p row. hoop, peanut. clothes hanging, ball throwing (for ladies), rope climb, .. peanut hunt, bobbing for apples. !_ Among athletic contests may be named the tug-of-war, hop-step-and-e jump, fifty and one hundred yard I dash, standing broad jump, bean bags, 1 quoits and base ball. —"Senior Worker and His Work.” 3. —Have you any suggestions for a successul summer camp for a Sunday school class? For quarters secure a tent or ah old farm house. The duties as to fire, table, and cooking are apportioned to squads. Discipline characterizes such a camp, the day being scheduled between sports, lifesaving drills, exer- . else, nature study, work, worship, reading and games. The Discussion , Club provides topics. The Bible topics touch the out-door life. Story-1 4 telling, camp yells, singing, campfires, l concerts, steriopticon travel talks, r mock trials, are.splendid diversions. o —. , Amy Lowell Dies At Home In Massachusetts' ' ' — I, 1 Brooklyn. Mass., May 13 —(United: > Press) — Amy Lowell, long the out- • standing exponent of vers libre in 1 America and noted for her essays and ’ i literary criticism, is dead at her homo here, at the age of 51. , 1 The end came suddenly late yes- ; ■ terday as the result of a cerebal < stroke, following a month’s illness l ( ’ which had forced cancellation of a , proposed lecture tour in Europe.

And this should ! be much more easily obtained than in i a city. In villages the Interests are peculiarly common to all. What benefits one in some measure benefits everyone. It should be easy to estab- • lish u policy of co-operation. There ' would be certain standards to be sought; certain things to be probib , Ited. Ugliness would be abolished by ■ common consent. Order should be the rule and habit. Leadership would be needed, but there is leadership, potential or active. In every community. ; | Whatever would make the villages . brighter and more orderly wotdd make them more attractive to the buyer, to the traveler and to the homeseeker. A village is more than a mere eom- ‘ munlty; it is a community center. It ; can afford recreation for Its own and ' for those It seeks to interest In Its business or its affairs, for the fanners and their families, who need en tertainment and diversion in their busy lives. —Kansas City Star. I . Attracting Industries A prosperous Industry in auy eoni--1 munlty is one of the most attractive invitations to other industries. Farsighted men seeking locations for manufacturing enterprises are impressed with the success of other en terprises which have preceded them in the field under contemplation. One , profitable industry often does more to attract others than the combined efforts of civic organizations and community boosters. An industry which is on Rs last legs not only contributes 1 nothing directly to the good of a corn munlty, but indirectly injures It by warning prospective Investors not to come. Every community wants bigger 1 payrolls, but it is not always necessary to bring in new concerns in order to achieve that end.—Birmingham AjfeHerald. Have a Home if Possible No family can ever feel for a rented house that deep-seated affection which Is naturally developed for a home they own. There is little incentive to adorn and beautify the house and the yard 1 which belong to another. But when the place that shelters the family I group is their own every added beau ty, every tree and shrub and flower planted, adds new charm to life and strengthens the ties that bind the happy hearts.—New York Heraid-Trtb une. Q —— Stray Bit of Wisdom I once met a man who had forgiven an injury. 1 hope some day to meet the man who has forgiven an insult. Charles Buxton. HELP KIDNEYS BY DRINKING MORE WATER Take Salts Io Flush Kidneys anti Help Neutralize Irritatin'* Acids x Kidney and bladder irritations of ten result from acidity, says a noted 'authority. The k’dneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it may remain to irritate and inflame, causing I a burning, scalding sensation, or settling up an irritation at the neck of ' the bladder, obliging you to seek re» lief two or three times during the night The sufferer is in constant dread; the water passe sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very prefuse; again, there is is diflicutly in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of Die most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they on longer are a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act normal again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by acid irritation. Jad Salts causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which may quickly relieve your bladder irritation. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.
