FOR THE CHILDREN

The Skill of a Mouee. One day a naturalist lay motionless on a fallen log in the forest and silently watched an animal at play in the grass near by, says Our Animal Friends. This was a large brown backed mouse, a meadow mouse, that bad come out from his home under the log and, when tired of play, had sat up to make his toilet. Satisfied at length with his appearance, he began to search for food. He did not have far to go, for a few stalks of wheat grew among the thick weeds near at hand. The mouse was so large that he could probably have bent the stalk down and brought the grain within reach. If not, he could certainly have climbed.the stalk. He did not try either of these plans, however, for these were not his ways, Sitting up very strainght. he bit through the stalk as high as he could reach. The weeds w r ere so thick that the straw could not fall its full length, and the freshly cut end settled down upon the ground, with the straw still erect and the grain out of reach. The mouse again bit the straw in two, and again upper portion settled down. In this w r ay he bit off five lengths of straw before be could bring the grain within reach of his paws. These forepaws were very skillful little bauds, and he deftly husked a grain and ate It. sitting erect and bolding it to bis mouth as naturally as a boy would hold an apple. Boy Scout Merit Badges. Considerable changes in a number of merit badge requirements have been made by a committee at national headquarters. Those for life saving are: First—Go down from the surface of the water at least seven feet deep and bring up an object twelve inches or more in diameter, weighing not less than ten i>ouuds. Second.—Swim twenty yards, carrying a person of your own weight: (a) By a two hand carry, using feet only for propulsion. (b) By a one arm carry, using side stroke. Third.—Dressed In trousers, coat and shoes swim fifty yards, and undress before reaching shore. Fourth.—ln deep water, demonstrate three approved methods of releasing death grip. Fifth.—Demonstrate Schaefer (prone pressure) method of resuscitation. The Dishonest Baker. A baker who bought his butter in pound rolls from a farmer, noticing that the rolls looked rather small, weighed them and found that tbey were all under a pound in Weight. Therefore be had the farmer up before a magistrate. “These butter rolls,” said the Judge, “are certainly short weight. Have you any scales?” "I have,” answered the farmer. ~ “And have you any weights^” “No, sir.” “Then how can you weigh your but ter?” demunded the magistrate sternly. “That’s very simple,” said the farmer. "While I’ve been selling butter to the baker I’ve been buying pound loaves from him, and I’ve used them as weights on my Beales.” The baker said he would drop the case right there.

Oil In Midocean. Six square miles of raw petroleum In the middle of the Atlantic ocean! The British tank steamer Batoum once encountered this singular field in midocean, and at first the captain could .not account for it. Then he came to the conclusion that the oil was the cargo of an oil vessel which had foundered. He kept his ship in that vicinity for an entire day in the hope of finding some pieces of wreckage by which to identify the unfortunate craft, but not a trace of human life or wreckage could be found. It seems impossible that the vessel could have been burned and left the oil floating, and there were no rocks upon which it could strike. In fact, there is no solution to the mystery. Like so many others of the sea, it may remain unsolved forever. Hidden Furniture. Come, Tab. let me tie this ribbon around your neck. Dad's tool box was well stocked.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Matt Moosmiller Not Pleased With Michigan. Wellston, Mich., Sept. 8, 1914. Dear Editor:^—l hope that a few lines from here will not go Into the waste basket. There has been a number of people around Rensselaer that have talked of coming up here and buying land, and all the information I can give them is to let some of the land that is advertised for sale alone, as ll is not as represented. What is not absolutely worthless to farm is so poor that a person can hardly make a living on it. They advise a person to not try and farm any of it, until paid for, and then when they try it, they soon find out what they have got and leave for parts unknown. Every other person you meet is giving one of these land dealers h—and if he gets all that people wish him he will sure have a warm time. 1 do not wish him any bad luck, but I do hope he gets what I would expect If 1 were doing as lie' is. They will not let the excursionists stop and make inquiries about the land from anyone that lias lived here a short time and found out what it is. They say it is all good and a person never knows the difference until he trys it. There is some good land here but the old “lumber jacks” have got. all of it. They take their excursionists around through it. and then take them out in the jack pines and tell them that the land Is just as good, and all they have to do is to grub it and plant. Rome stop and harvest and others dig out before harvest. The ground is very frosty, and some years it freezes every month. It missed July this year. Last year it did not. I hope if any of my friends are thinking of buying up here that they will investigate a little on their own hook and find out what they are getting before they buy and those that have bought find out what they have before they undertake to move on it. Last June, when we had our hard frost here, they told us that there was a man on their excursion that said it froze the corn down to the ground as far sciuth as two hundred miles below Chicago. 1 could not find out who the man was or where he was from. When I saw the next paper and learned that 39 was as low as it dropped there, I thought'.of that old song, “Somebody lied to me.” It is next to impossible to sell this land after you get. 1 It. I have learned that there is some homesteads here yet and people come here and get land for sl7 an acre right alongside of land that the government is a trying to get rid of. 1 hope that this will put people on their guard, about this land. Yours truly MATT MOOSEMJLLER.

BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLS STUDY ON

THE TEN VIRGINS. Matthew 25:1-13—Sept. 13. “TVa/clk therefore; for ye know not the dat nor the hour." — Verse ts. CnE parable of today's Study is supposed to have been uttered by our. Lord about three days before Ills crucifixion, as part of His response to the question, “What shall be the sign of Thy Coming and of the end of the Age?” In the preceding chapter the Master traces various experiences of His people down to the time of Ills Second Coming. This parable has not been applicable at all times and under all conditions. This is shown by the first word, “Then” —at that time—"the Kingdom of Heaven will be likened unto ten virgins.” The parable does not describe the world in general, but merely the virgin class the Church—the pure ones who

have left the world, have come to God through Christ, have been Justified by faith in His blood, and thus have been made prospective members of the Kingdom class, the Bride class. This parable slio ws, then, that in the end of tills Gospel

Age a separation, division, will take Place in the true Church of Christ. With the Jews, a betrothal took place between Bride and Bridegroom about a year before marriage. During that year any unfaithfulness to the Bridegroom annulled the contract, which was usually mado through intermediaries. So, during this Gospel Age, a Church is being betrothed lo Christ, and covenant obligations are being entered Into. These agreements are made through brethren, ministers, servants, of the Lord and the Church. Parousia and Epiphania. Many Bible students hold that this parable began to have Its fulfilment In the Mlllerite Movement, which In 1841 culminated In disappointment. For some fourteen years prior a cry had gone forth throughout the Church that the Second Coming of Christ was at hand. History tells us that many noble characters of all denominations believed the Messngo and went forth to meet tlio Bridegroom. But the Bridegroom tarried. Then all the virgins slumbered and slept. Later, nt midnight, the Bridegroom came apparently; and announcements were made to that effect An Increasing number of Bible students believe that this latter cry sounded forth Just thirty years after the disappointment of Wm. Miller’s followers; namely, In 1871. They do not claim that Jesus came In tile-flesh then; on the contrary, they hold that He will never come In the flesh—that He Is flesh no longer, that He lias ascended to the spirit plane—far above angels. They call attention to the fact that the Bible distinctly differentiates between the Pflrousla of Christ and Ills Epiphania, at His Second Coming.' The word I’arousla signifies presence, without in any sense indicating that the presence is visible. The word Eplphnuia signifies the revealing of one already present. These Bible students claim that In the end of this Gospel Age Christ will be present. Invisible to men, during a period of forty years, doing a work especially in Ills Church —rewarding the faithful servants, as shown In the parables of tlie Bounds and the Talents, and receiving the wise virgins, as in this parable. The Lamps and the Oil. The oil of the parable evidently represents tlie Holy Spirit, while the lamps represent the Bible. In response to the Message, the wise virgins trimmed their lamps—searched the Scriptures. Thus they had light in their Lamps, as well as oil. the Holy Spirit, in their hearts. Then the foolish virgins said. “Give us of your oil.” However, there Is but one way to get the Holy Spirit—from the Lord Himself and upon His own terms. In order to

The Foolish Virgins.

and to live close to God. Tills is the cost of the precious Oil. lienee the wise virgins declared, in no ungenerous spirit, that they had none too much of the oil of the Holy Spirit for themselves. Then they advised their brethren who were deficient to go to God, and to seek it by obedience to His Word, by searching the Scriptures and by close following of the Master's leading in the narrow way. Meantime, the. wise virgins went in. one after another—passing beyond the veil. Then the door was shut. Once in our misunderstanding we thought that tills represented that the foolish virgins and all the remainder of mankind were banished to eternal torment. Now, however, we notice that the door shuts in the Kingdom class. While Others will never enter that Kingdom, God lias other blessings for them, to come through the Kingdom class—Christ and His Bride.

The Wise Virgins.

receive a fresh supply we must look well to our Covenant with the Lord and to our loyalty to the principles o f righteousness. This costs something of time and study, perhaps of neglect of the things of this life. It means to forego strife for fame and wealth.
