—~I MPROVED ’~ LIJI,,,Ui UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson of Chicago. g) Western Kewapapr Union. Lesson for June 26 SHARING SERVICE WITH THE LIVING CHRIST LESSON TEXT—Mark 16:1-®. 14-IC. IS, 10. GOLDEN TEXT—And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them. Mark 16:20. PRIMARY TOPIC—At Work With Jesua. JUNIOR TOPlC—Jesus Our Living Lord. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Making a New World With Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Making's New World With Christ Easier again? No, the calendar does not say so, nor have we forgotten that we observed Easter ten weeks ago, but quite properly we study the resurrection story again today. Not only does it come in the sequence of our lessons as our final study in the Gospel df Mark, but the fact is that every Sunday is a reminder of Easter. The reason why we worship on the first day of the week is that it is the resurrection day. What life it would put into our Sunday worship if the glory of the risen Lord would shine forth (as it should) each Lord’s Day in all of our service and worship. It is difficult to think or write about the living Christ without using superlatives. Our lesson fqr today brings before us the most important truth that the world has ever heard—“He is risen”; it speaks of the worst thing in the world—“unbelief”; and it presents the world’s greatest commission—“Go . . . and preach.” I. The Transcendent Troth (w. 1-8). “Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who hath been crucified; He is risen, He is not here” (y. 6). The world anxiously awaits news, and, hoping almost against hope, it longs for good news. This is the good news—the Gospel—the all-im-portant tidings that the Son of God who had taken upon Himself not only the form of man, but the sins of mankind as well, who had tasted the bitter death of Calvary’s cross, could not be holden of death, but breaking its bands asunder had risen from the dead. This truth becomes the chief burden of the messages of the disciples as they soon went everywhere proclaiming the Gospel. See the sermons recorded in the Book of Acts (2:24, 32; 3:14, 15; 4:10, 23; 10:40; 13:30). It was such preaching that was at the foundation of the Christian church. It may be that we should emphasize it more. 11. The Impassable Barrier (v. 14). “He upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, betause they believed not.” Many are the sins that men commit, but at the root of them all we find the heart of all sin—unbelief. The tragic consequence of unbelief is that it shuts the door, throws up a barrier to God’s blessing that is virtually impassable until God himself gives grace to believe. The astonishing thing is that the hardness of heart and lack of faith here were on the part of those who had been the disciples of Jesus, to whom He had made known the fact that He was to die and to arise on the third day, and to whom there had now come the word of eye-witnesses that they had seen the Lord. While we marvel at their shortsighted unbelief, shall we not ask ourselves what hindrances we have placed in God’s way in our own lives? 111. The Supreme Commission (vv. 15, 16, 19, 20). “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation” (v. 15). “And they went . . . and preached, the Lord working with them and confirming the word” (v. 20). X The great comrftission of Christ is still the “marching orders of the church,” but’how slowly we have marched. The writer of these notes was recently startled by statistics reve "ng anew the fact that “Christian” America is rapidly returning to the status of a mission field. It is said that last year 60,000 churches in America had no converts, and 9,000 churches were closed during the year. There are 10,000 villages reported to be without church services, and 30,000 communities without a resident pastor.The command of Christ is that we should go to these pagan communities in our own land with the gospel, and surely it is our double shame that there are still lands where Christ has never been preached, yes, tribes that do not even have a word in their language for the blessed name—Jesus I If we will go He will indeed work with us (v. 20) and accompany the message and ministry with divine authority and power. Who will go? Select Good Company When a man lingers in the neighborhood of sinners he may expect to be tempted. Our company has not a little to do with our conduct. Try Again The diligent searcher after truth will not be deterred by many disappointments. His hope may fail, but he will try again. Key to Success There is only one key to success, and that is perseverance.

VITAL ORGANS KEPT ALIVE 11% YEARS Artificial Heart Is Used in Scientific Tests. Philadelphia, Pa.—Eleven and a half years of life has been provided to vital human and animal organs in the artificial life chamber designed by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Dr. Alexis Carrel, the latter reported before the American Philosophical society. Nine hundred experiments have been performed with the LindberghCarrel artificial heart, which for the first time made it possible to keep whole organs alive indefinitely in a synthetic blood-substitute medium. Practically every important organ in the human and animal body has been kept alive during the experiments, Doctor Carrel reported. The experiments as described by Doctor Carrel constitute veritable windows into life, through whiph the processes of the organs can be observed and their behavior can be studied. Doctor Carrel said it was yet too soon to discuss the practicability of transplanting these organs into human beings as substitutes for diseased parts. It was indicated, howthat the experiments were a long step in that direction The organs and anatomical regions cultivated in the apparatus included thyroids, parathyroids, sympathetic ganglia, salivary glands, mammary glands, livers, spleens, lymph glands, pancreas, adrenal glands, kidneys, hearts, lungs, ovaries, oviducts, uteri and pregnant uteri, testes, epididymes, arteries, veins, muscles, joints and fetal limbs, Doctor Carrel reported. Studies are being made on human goiter and the effect of iodine on this condition. A human cancer of the thyroid gland is among the organs under observation. It is possible, Doctor Carrel declared, to study the arteries of the human heart. In this manner, it is hoped, * new light may be shed on the nature and origin of coronary heart disease. Terrier Guides Orphans - Through Buffalo Streets Buffalo.—Every morning at 11 o’clock 40 little children file through the gateway of St. Mary’s Infant asylum here for their morning walk, accompanied by Teddy, a four-year-old terrier, who has taken it upon himself to see that no harm befalls his charges. The tiny tots, ranging in age from two to four, march in pairs across the city’s busiest intersections, led by their shaggy friend, who allows no one to approach him while on duty. At intersections the faithful dog awaits the green light, then crosses t,o the middle of the street, where he stands until all the children are safely across. A bark warns any motorist who may drive too close. Tirelessly, Teddy patrols the line of children from front to rear, nosing back into place any little straggler who may have decided to window-shop. Sister Anastatia, who, accompanied by a nurse, is in charge of the group, agrees that Teddy is trustworthy and capable of handling the little folk alone. Except on stormy days, the children toddle along the streets every day. Teddy has guided such groups for several years. Battered Hat Returns Home After World Tour St. Louis, Mo.—A battered felt hat which took a ten-months tour around the world, is back in the hands of its owner, David J. Botto, railway express tractor operator. On May 26, 1937, Botto decided the hat had served him well and deserved a trip in its old age. So he pasted a letter to expressmen to keep it moving around the world, handed it to an express car messenger and told him to forward it on a cruise byway of the first boat out of New York. When it returned to St. Louis tags and express marks indicated the hat passed through New York, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Hongkong, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Portland, New York again, Buffalo and Cleveland. It traveled by air, rail and water. Infant Is 44th Wearer of a Baptismal Dress Darlington, Wis.—A new high record for baptismal dresses was believed established here when Joseph Lynn McDonald, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank McDonald, became the forty-fourth wearer of the dress which his great-grandmother made 65 years ago. Others who previously wore the dress included the baby’s mother, his grandmother, five great uncles, four great aunts, six uncles, four aunts, 10 first cousins, and 12 second cousins. Ancient Coins Found in Scottish Hide-Out Aberdeen, Scotland.—A man digging for the foundations of a house here broke with his pick an earthenware jar containing 200 silver pennies of the reign of Henry 111 (1216-1272). They are I believed to have been buried later by a merchant when an invasion by Edward I was feared.

FANTASTIC FIGURES ADORN NEW VESSELS Figureheads Are Coming - Back Into Fashion. Washington, D. C.—Are ships’ figureheads coming back into fashion? A Norwegian line, between Oslo and Antwerp, has lately revived this ancient form of decoration for two of its new ships. One the Bretagne, or Brittany, carries at'her bow the majestic figure of a barefoot lady in a “swing skirt,” personifying the French province of the same name. The other, the Bayard, bears an armored chevalier on whose unfurled standard appear the words “Sans Peur et Sans Reproche.” “To frighten their enemies, propitiate their gods, or merely to beautify the ships they loved, sailors through the ages have set fantastic, heroic, and sometimes comic creations at the prows of sea-roving craft,” says the National Geographic society. “Subjects ranged all the way from crude native deities and dragons to plump Victorian maids and knights on horseback. One of the simplest decoratiohs was that used by early Egyptians and Chinese who painted two eyes on the stem of their boats; Many elaborate wood carvings and bronze castings later bore witness to painstaking craftsmanship of experts trained for decades in the art. One famous English family, the Hellyers, carved ships’ figureheads for 200 years. Another great name in the business was that of Grinling Gibbons, employed by Charles 11, and one-time-assistant to Sir Christopher Wren. Some Early Types. “Curving out from the hull, high above the sea, both bow and stern of primitive craft offered a conspicuous and natural point for the first forms of ship adornment. Carved Viking ‘long ships’ and Siamese ‘snake boats,’ built like dragons, are examples of the earliest type. “As the shape of vessels changed, a separate figurehead in wood or other materials often took the place of simple decoration of the stem itself. Gradually typical figureheads on ships of various nations began to appear. On the prow of Phoenicians’ boats was often displayed the horse’s head, symbol of speed. The Romans followed the lion and crocodile that once represented tutelary deities of mountain and river, with busts of their distinguished warriors. In the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries English and Dutch featured their national emblems of the lion, while Spaniards liked their craft headed by the figures of their favorite saints. “An era of expanding merchant shipping, the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries were prolific ones for American figureheads. At the prows of Yankee clippers, frigates and brigantines of war, heroic-sized females in .flowing robes, naval heroes in uniform and famous American . statesmen in ordinary street clothes plowed through walls of spray along with conventional images of Neptune with his trident and classical goddesses of the sea. Elaborate and Unwieldy. “No country, however, maintained more interest in ships’ figureheads than the England of Queen Elizabeth onward. So elaborate and unwieldy was some of this decoration that in the words of Sir Walter Raleigh, ‘The ocean fairly groaned from their weight.’ An example was that of the British Sovereign bf the Seas, with a mass of carving on her prow representing King Edgar mounted on horseback and trampling on six subject kings, and beyond it a figure of Cupid riding a lion. “Eventually, British craftsmen developed their art to include carvings of characters from Shakespeare and Scott, the Knights of the Round Table, American Indians, Chinese mandarins, witches and goblins. They came to represent not only imaginary characters but actual persons from public life and members of shipowners’ families. “From time to, time the use of the figurehead was banished or limited. In 1785 France suppressed such decoration for state shipping. Ten years later the British admiralty ordered elaborate ornamentation of ships discontinued. “But the habit died hard. Up to the end of sail,’ superstitious men of the sea declared that a boat without a figurehead was haunted. “Among commercial lines in general there is an increasing tendency to use some sort of design on their ships to symbolize the name of the company. Present-day warships, too, often carry a badge or escutcheon on their bows.” High Cost of Tooting; Has Been Figured Out * Omaha. —The Union Pacific railroad has figured out that every time an engineer toots the steam whistle for a crossing it costs one-eighth of a cent. It takes .2037 pounds of coal to toot the whistle one second. Six'seconds is the average toot, so L 22 pounds of coal is required. At current prices the cost is one-eighth of a cent. Away With Mustaches! Kent, Ohio.—Men at Kent State Normal school can quit counting those hairs on their upper lip. Most of the Kent co-eds don’t like mustaches, anyway. ■ I I
