BOYS!

Bob McAdoo, the hero in our latest serial, “The Man Higher Up,” reminds us of boys,— ? And speaking of boys,—there is nothing quite so inspiring as the one who comes up through his teens and raps at the doorway of manhood, clean, capable, and untainted. The teens are his ultra-suscep-tible years and we have seen so many go down under the temptations that beset them that when one pulls into dock unscathed by the storm we cannot avoid a feeling of admiration for his safety. We say safety, for if a boy is clean when he steps out of his teens into the maturity of manhood he’s almost as secure as a deposit in a postal savings bank. There are three important sev-en-year periods in the life of every boy. The first seven are spent with his mother, an atmosphere akin to the divine. His second seven are used to break away from this influence and mingle in a company of fellows whose atmosphere is not so wholesome. His third seven are the ones in which invites, the green cloth appeals, when late hours are enticing, when self-respect has the tussle of its life to avoid submersion. It is the danger period plus. It is the period when a mother’s anxiety whips itself into a frenzy—when her lonely vigils contrast strangely with the father’s stolid disregard and indifference. It is the -period which if invaded by a strong friendship, a la Bob HcAdoo, exhaltation comes boldly to the front assumes command and guides him injto the haven of upright manhood—and the yawning abyss that longed to engulf him goes unsatiated. Honestly we believe that the publication of our serial story, “The Man Higher Up,” will be applauded.

For the Children

When Ted domes the Fun Begins.

Oh, Isn’t it lively at our house When our young cousin Ted spends the day! He can think of more things in a minute Than would take us a whole week to play. The last time he came it was barber. And he used all of daddy’s best soap. You ought to have seen the piazza. It’ll never be wetter, 1 hope. And then when he goes it’s still lively. We wonder how we ever could dare! And we wouldn't so much mind .what follows If our cousin would stay for his share. —youth’s Companion. Carloads of Crawlers. There were five full carloads 6t a queer kind of freight that recently left the far western states for the east. The carloads were of wriggling, writhing, cold and clammy snakes, and most of them were poisonous. They had been collected in different parts of California, New Mexico and Arizona and in northwestern Mexico, and there were 1,700 of them altogether. There were twenty-four different kinds of snakes in the, five carloads, and tbey were of all sorts and different lengths. If they had been stretched out In a line they would have measured all of three miles, and three miles of snakes is no small matter. The shipments were made to different zoos in the eastern cities and to Europe, where the small children that speak queer languages will call them by names that would sound funny to the boys and girls of this country.—Chicag* News. A Puzzle Game. Here is a pencil and paper game for the puzzle loving. It can be played by any number. Starting with one given word, the test is to change it into another given word by changing only one letter at a time, and the winner is he who arrives most quickly at the result and by the shortest process. For Instance, suppose the word “dog” is given to be changed into “cat.” The best method would be dot, cot, cat. Of course longer words are more difficult, but usually patience will bring success. For instance, the word “fast” may be changed into “slow" by the following steps: Fast, last, lost, loot, soot, slot, slow. Perhaps there is a shorter way that a little study will discover. If the party is large It is more fun to play the game with groups of two as partners.

The Giraffe. Giraffes have been known in Paris since a comparatively recent date only. The earliest specimens came there during the reign of Louis XVI. Prom a Frenchman of about that time, an explorer named Levaillant, who had traveled among the Kaffirs and Hottentots, these animals with the long necks were first heard of in France. Nobody believed his story, and he was laughed at until some living specimens arrived in the French capital and he established his credit for truthfulness. Little Helpers. Do you know what the children who do things to help one another are called? They are called “little step savers.” and a great blessing they are to many a tired mother. For their own growth it is necessary for children to run and walk a great deal. By saving steps for mother they are helping themselves to grow and doing a great kindness to mother at the same time. Conundrums. When is a gentleman’s shirt like the heavens at night? When bespangled with stars. *■ What would contain all the snuff in the world? No one nose (knows). Why does a gentleman look first on one side and then another when walking down the street? Because be can’t look on both sides at the same time. What small animals are always seen at social functions? White kids. Correct Pronunciation. The correct pronunciation of the English language and all foreign words in common use is becoming a subject of interest and importance to those persons who can appreciate the great advantage of possessing tb* ability to speak correctly. To render conversation most delightful to a cultivated ear the pronunciation of every word must be correct - L , Game of Crambo. Each writes one or two nouns on one slip and a. question on another, or both may be written on one. All are shuffled and drawn. An answer to the question must be written In versa, bringing in the nouns.

OLD TESTAMENT TIMES

THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE Daniel I, 18-20—Sept 10 "It is good neither to eat flesh nor to drink vine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumhleth.’’—Roman* eiv, tl. HMONGST the earlier captives brought by Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem some twenty years before Its destruction, were four young men of evidently boble birth and religious training, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. These captives were not maltreated nor enslaved, In the ordinary sense of the term. Their intellectual qualities were discerned, and they were put into a superior school that they, with others, might be fitted to constitute a board of wise men, counselors of the king. So different Is all this from the nepotism, “graft” and “pool” of our day that It seems almost Incomprehensible. We may here learn a lesson of how God Is able to make even the disasters of life work out blessings for those who are truly loyal to Him, even as faithfu} Daniel and his companions Were blessed and prospered in the enetaies’ land. Advantages of Abstemiousness The young Hebrews were attached to the king’s household and were provided with extraordinary delicacies, Including spirituous liquors. The policy of the king In providing sumptuously for all the students was that, being well nourished, they might be In their best physical and mental condition. This lesson shows that it Is a mistake to suppose that high living la specially conducjye to intellectuality—not to mention spirituality. ■* , From the beginning, under God’s providence, the j deportment of Daniel brought him into special favor with the prince of the eunuchs, who had in charge the temporalities of these students. There is something in a meek and quiet spirit that is impressive; and as a rule such a spirit comes only from a proper, religious training. To

Daniel and Three Companions. this eunuch Daniel, and his associates through him, appealed, requesting *that Instead of the fine food and liquors provided they might have a plain vegetable diet Their request was granted. At the end of the period of their preparation, the king communed with the students “and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah: • * * and in every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them he found fhem ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in his realm.’’ The Secret of Daniel’s Success What was the secret of this wisdom and understanding? Did not the secret lie in the blessing of God and in the fact that these young men sought to devote their lives to the doing of the Divine will—to the doing of righteousness? Such minds anywhere, atiany time, are scarce. Such minds always bespeak wisdom. On the other hand, sensuality, selfishness, the grinding of personal axes, always becloud the judgment What we need today In every walk of life, Is consecrated men of the stamp of Daniel and his companions—whole hearted men—who will give their best for the service of their fellow men in whatever sphere their lives may be cast Dare to Be a Daniel

Although few of us today can be Daniels or have his high position and wonderful opportunity, and though few are leading spirits as was Daniel, yet all may have the same spirit of devotion to the principles of righteousness, which devotion will be tested, under Divine providence, step by step, through the “narrow Way,” as they seek to walk in the footsteps of Him who set us an example—our Daniel, our Leader.‘our Lord Jesus. Let all, then, who have named the named of Christ, depart from iniquity. Let all such be faithful. What is really needed is the Daniel spirit: and that is a possibility with every man ami every woman—young or old. “Dare to be a Daniel!” Alas! how few appreciate the privilege, how few are emulating the Daniel spirit! , Christians, throughout this Age, are in a position very similar to that of Daniel. The great King of Glory has them in the School of Christ. He wishes to select a few to be Joint-heirs in the Messianic Kingdom when it shall pe established. The test of examination will come in the end of this Age. Those who will then be found worthy will be such as have the Dariiel spirit of devotion to God and to the principles of righteousness—willingness to lay down their lives in the service of the truth—followers in the footsteps of Jesus. Of these the Lord speaks, saying. “They shall be Mine, saith the Lord, in that Day when I make up My Jewels.”—Maiachi ill. 17.

srooMvlSi!! The time has passed forever when anyone thinks it pays to keep poor stock. Good stock is a matter of care, not of luck and the most important thing, as with every living being, is plenty of pure, fresh water —health and dirt don’t go together even with animals. Even a hog prefers clean water and will not drink out of a puddle or dirty trough unless you make him do so. No wonder they have cholera, is it? Our watering tanks are made from heavy galvanized sheet steel and a slight cost insures plenty of purer fresh Water for all your stock. This means less feed and better animals—lt pays.
