Humor md Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. One reason why life Is such a struggle Is because It takes so much of our strength and time getting rid of the things we don’t want. Single men and women are wearied of their situation mostly because they find It aw’ful hard to explain.

The man who falls In love with a dollar feels just as bad as any other man when he Is jilted. Nothing Is more unsettling and paralyzing for the moment than the discovery of truth. Hearts are pretty generally apt to be self healing, so the broken ones are sc busy.

The one thing that w e deplore about a man having a bad temper is the fact that he seams determined to let us all feel the quality of It. The greed of gold is hardening to the heart and when satiated is softening to the brain of the second generation. Holding a membership card in a charity workers’ union isn’t equivalent to a guaranty of salvation. Your opinion Is highly valued by your acquaintances or is scorned by them according to whether it approximates theirs or is opposed. There are women who are mad if they don’t look well even when they are sick enougli to keep the whole neighborhood in a ferment. *

The Day Aftar. No explanations or resort To bickerings can square the debt. So cut it short and be a sport And pay up that election bet.

Single, but Happy. “Why are you always so cheerful and happy, Mr. Bachelor?” “Because I can always drive away a fit* of the blues.” “Yes, but how?” “By thinking of all the women 1 have made happy.” “You? Happy, indeed! How have you made them happy?” “Never married a single one of them.”

Getting Ready. The winds begin to whistle. 1 do not like their tune. They seem to say that winter Is coming pretty soon. The autumn leaves like racers Are scurrying about. So as defensive measures I'll block some whiskers out. Girls In the office titter And chat about the crop. The men say things sarcastic And words like spinach drop. The barber Is disgusted. But what care I for that? On comfort’s solid platform You’ll find me standing pat. When nature took the trouble To mold my classic form She hung a fringe of whiskers To keep my features warm. Should 1 be so presumptuous, So silly or so smart To paint, as ’tvvere, the lily Or try to slur her art? No; nature knew her business, And that alfalfa crop Her cunning fingers planted No right have I to chop. She went to all the trouble To put them there, and so I'm going to be a hero And let my whiskers grow. P. S.—If my wife will let me.

No Pcor Man’s Amusement. ‘•Poor Billings:” “What’s the matter with him?” “He committed crime while tempo rarily insane.” “Pshaw! I didn't know he had as much money as that.”

All Explained.

“What is the real cause of the awak ening in the east?” “Maybe some Yankee peddler has sold the Chinese a shipload of alarn clocks.”

All of It. “How much money does a womar need to run her house?” “All depends.” “On xv'hat?” “On her husband’s salary.”

Saw the Point. “1 know a sure cure for poverty.** “For goodness’ sake, tell me.” “It will cost you $2.” “Nix; I do not feel the need of curlnj it in your cose.”

THE SUNDM SCHOOL, Lesson IX.—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 29, 1908.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.

Lady Attendant

Text of the Lesson, Isa. xxviii, 1-13. Memory Verse, 11—Golden Text, I Cor. lx, 27—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1908, by American Press Association.] Any one who writes notes on these lessons can scarcely fail to be Impressed with this strange fact—that we never have a lesson from the prophets unless it is the quarterly temperance lesson, and In looking over the synopsis of lessons I notice that no lessons from prophecy appear in the course of study till 1911 and then only in connection with studies in the lives of the kings. It would seem as if prophecy was not considered a profitable study, as if it was considered a dark subject in the midst of much light instead of a light shining in a dark place whereunto we do well that we take heed (II Pet i, 19). Might not the Saviour have good reasons to say to the professing Christians of our time, “O fools and slow of heart, to believe all that the prophets have spoken?” (Luke xxiv, 25.) Preachers and people seem to have closed eyes and to be in a deep sleep concerning the wonderful purpose of God concerning the ages and are therefore said to be drunken, but not with wine; to stagger, but not with strong drink (xxix, 9). Which is worse—that phase of drunkenness or the beastly drunkenness which is the result of literal strong drink? If we judge from the fact that the awful words which fell from the Saviour’s lips, and only from His, concerning weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth were spoken not concerning the 'openly ungodly, but concerning professing believers who did not believe, it should not be difficult to decide as to what He thinks of it. It may not be amiss to call attention to the section of Isaiah which this chapter begins, the woe section, but in another aspect It might be palled the section of the cornerstone, the tried stone, the sure foundation, laid by God Himself (verse 16), and other foundation there Is none, for all else Is a refuge of lies, a bed too short to stretch oneself on, covering too narrow to wrap oneself In, and when the Lord comes In judgment and righteousness to sweep away all false refuges and to cause Israel to blossom and bud and fill the face of the earth with fruit then it shall be seen (verses 17-20; chapter xxvii, 6). Drunkenness is the outward manifestation of a phase of proud sinful self which, not knowing what ails it, seeks satisfaction in this form and calls it a glorious good time, not considering that there is a judgment to come, a time when the sowing shall bring a fearful harvest of everlasting woe and all the glory and beauty (in their eyes) of the present rioting shall forever fade away. The disgusting filthiness of their feasts, even though accompanied by music and much that is attractive to the natural man (chapter v, 12), is set forth in verses 8. 9. Not only the ordinary people, but priests and prophets, those who should be the Lord’s messengers to the people and stand for the people before God, were guilty of this sin. which may perhaps have been the sin of Nadab and Abihu when they died before the Lord while officiating as His priests (Lev. x, 1-9). Not the energy nor the excitement of the flesh can serve the Lord, but only the zeal which comes by the Spirit of the Lord; hence the admonition, “Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit,” and that other word, “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Eph. v, 18; Zech iv, 6). “Out of the way” is the expression used twice in verse 7 of our lesson concerning these erring ones. It is found also in Rom. iii, 12, “They are all gone out of the way.” In Isa. lili, 6, it reads, “We have turned every one to his own way.” There is only one way that is right, and that is “the way,” even Himself (John xiv, 6). Those who followed Him are in Acts ix, 2, margin, and elsewhere called people of “the way.” “Blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk in the law of the Lord” (Ps. cxix, 1). We cannot lead others into this good and true way unless we are walking in it ourselves—walking with Him in peace and equity. Then only shall we turn others from iniquity (Mai. 11, 6). How beautiful is verse 12 of our lesson, but how sad Its ending, “This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest, and this is the refreshing, yet they would not hear.” See^ the same sad refrain In xxx, 5; Matt, xxiii, 37, “Ye would not.” Hear Him also In John v, 40, “Ye will not come to Me.” In Matt, xv, 8, He had to use the words of Isa. xxix, 13, “This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth and honoreth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.” There is no hope for any sinner but in the word of the Lord, therefore verse 14, “Hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men.” But they made light of Him and of it, asking if He thought they were babes just weaned. They did not know, and many today do not seem to know, that “these things are hidden from the wise and prudent and revealed unto babes” (Matt. xi). The day is coming when all the glory and pride and unbelief of man shall be laid low and the Lord alone j shall be exalted. Then shall the Lord 1 of hosts be for a crown of glory and for a diadem of beauty unto all who are truly His (verse 5). J
