Wdwional SIWAYSffIiOL LESSON <By E._ O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 8 THE CHILD IN THE MIDST. LESSON TEXT—Matthew 18:1-14. GOLDEN TEXT—“In heaven their angels <lo always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.”—Matthew 10:10 R. V. Like two mighty mountain peak# there stand before us in this lesson two tremendously vital lessons. The first and tho foremost is that of discipleship as suggested by the question in verse one. “Who is the greatest in the kingdom?” <And the second lesson is that of Christ's attitude towards children. Jesus again reveals himself as the world’s greatest teacher. He teaches by example—setting a child before them, and by exhorta tion, “Except ye become as children,” by contrast, etc. • The very form of the disciples question revealed their coarse ambition for power and clearly indicated that they were as yet far from comprehending the principles of his kingdom. One of the most insidious temptations that co-mes to the Christian worker is the ambitious desire •for place and power. It is hard to reconcile church politics with the principles of the kingdom of God. Jesus answers their question by the use of objective teaching that always has such an advantage over the purely metaphysical method of answering such a question. Placing a child in their midst he answered in the words found in verse two of the lesson. What He Meant. The word “verily” is tremendous with emphasis. “I say,” again reveals his authority to answer. Except ye turn,” what does he mean ? To become childish? No, but to become childlike: there is a vast deal of difference, There the child stands, trustful, obedient, submissive, unselfish, pure, potential, imperfect, ready to receive impressions as wax and as tenacious to retain those impressions as granite. Pride, self-confidence, disobedience, selfishness, impurity, assumed perfectness, and an unwillingness to learn will effectually keep us out of the kingdom of heaven. What a rebuke his answer implied, viz., not who is greatest but rather, “are you sure you are really in the kingdom?” The true disciple who really comprehends the essence of Christ’s teaching is far less con- [ cerned with his rank in the kingdom than he is to “know him” and thus make sure of a place in the kingdom. Ever after this, when wrong ambitions arose, these disciples must have recalled that sweet child and Jesus’ saying, “be like that.” Does this lesson then teach us that all children are by nature children of the kingdom? Hardly, though we certainly do not believe that a child dying in infancy is lost. Rather we incline to the belief that they have that spirit of teachableness and trust that fits them to “enter” (v. 3) the kingdom (see John 3":6). Therefore, the added significance of verse six. The responsibility of parents and teachers to lead them into the king- , dom at this early age when their trustfulness has not been destroyed. Let us look at some of the conditions whereby we enter the kingdom. John 10:9, “I am the door, by me shall ye enter.” John 3:3, “Except ye be born again.” Heb. 3:19, “They could not enter because of unbelief.” Read also 2 Peter 1:5-11 and other passages. How to Become Great. Having thus struck at the primary question involved, Jesus then tells them how, once being in the kingdom, to become great, “whoso humbleth himself, etc.” To humble yourself is voluntarily to choose the humble, the lowly, place for yourself; that place •emoved from the admiration and the adulation of men. Paul learned this lesson and constantly refers to himself as the “bond slave” and wishes that he might be accursed for the sake of his brethren Israel. Moses found this place when he pleaded with God to blot him out of the book of his remembrance but to save the children of Israel. Jesus is himself the greatest illustration of this principle (See Phil. 2:6-11.) Jesus goes on to teach by contrast what is to be our attitude toward those who are in the kingdom. There is an incidental illumination of the attitude of little children to Jesus. They were never afraid of him. It is true that he might have meant here humble men who have childlike hearts, but we are inclined *to feel that it was real children of which he is speaking. Our treatment of them is our treatment of him, for completely identifies himself with them. To cause such an one to stumble it were better for the offender to have a millstone hanged about his neck and he be drowned in the depth of the sea. How often as we look at a child do we see Jesus? How often do we remember that as we reecive such we are receiving him? To despise one of them is to despise him, for “in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." Notice, also, how he brings into this connection the matter of shepherding. Men are lost, born so, *and it is to seek these that the son of man came into the world. Is it possible that this very child that stood in their midst was lost? If so, gemember it was for such that God is seeking. The conversion of a child is of far greater importance potentially to the kingdom of God than the conversion of the greatest of earth. The loss of a child is terrible in Its consequences. Murder, drunkenness, robbery and licentiousness are rampant upon the streets of all of our great cities, and the chief offenders are the boys and girls in the “teen” ages Economically the conversion of boy is of incalculably value. _

SLAVES GET RUBBER

Pitiful Condition of Native Indians Described in Letter. Lured by Promises of High Wages Into a Servitude From Which Only Escape Is Starvation. Loudon. —Revelations concerning the methods of rubber gathering in Peru are made in a remarkable letter in the Tinies from F H. Fawcett. It throws a searching light on the situation, showing clearly the huge profits made by the exploiters and their hideous methods of retaining the natives in their service. Here is a summary of how the exploring company which has discovered rubber trees performs its business on returning to civilization: “Agents, half-caste men of straw, with a knowledge of Quichua, were contracted as they still are every year, to secure labor. They are advanced money. They visit Indians on the Altiplanicle, tempt them with the advances of sums unheard of bv the poor Indian, highly color the life and profits, make them drunk, perhaps, anyway finally obtain a paper signed, or alleged to have been signed, pledging their miserable possession of a hut, a potato patch and a llama against a contract to gather so many quintals of rubber (a quintal being 100 pounds). “The Indian, on recovery from his debauch, Is forcibly dragged away (proceedings at which the law winks) to the rubber estates. “He has to work under half-caste task masters, often multi-muderers, and is required to transport his own food and rjibber (weighing 100 pounds) over trails no reader would care to traverse free from a load.” Men, women and children are bought and sold for personal service. Parents, sell daughters; the brutal appreciation of life is such that there is no security in the Peruvian forests for the possession of children. It is a mistake, he points out, to suppose that it is only a degenerate class of Peruvian who is guilty of abuses. They are perpetuated by foreigners of various nationalities. “Escape for an employe is very difficult, from many places impossible,” Fawcett says. “They do, however, get away sometimes. “In escaping he abandons everything but life. He can stay and probably die, knowing he can never be out of debt. “For all abuses the owners are responsible, whether they realize how their profits are gained or not. The agent on the spot is not always to blame. His livelihood is bound up in the business. “He can, under the guise of honest treatment, swindle his ignorant labor force over its accounts and production, and thus keep it in debt and at permanent work. “Or he can starve it. The latter course is useful when a man’s production does not equal the cost of his food supply, as it cannot in the rainy season. I have known a force of 300 Indians, who, feeding upon forest leaves, died of pure starvation.”

FIVE MONTHS SPORT OF SEAS Oil Barge Woodhall, Long Believed Lost, Arrives at Trinidad, According to Message. New York.—After battling for five months on a seemingly shipless ocean Capt. Edwin L. Smith of London has arrived at Trinidad with the fifty-five foot oil barge Woodhall, from Eng lish shipyards, according to word re ceived by friends here. Smith darec to pilot the little barge on her peril ous trip, which was proposed to save the expense of towing, where a dozer other London skippers feared to trj jif'- It was expected that the trip coulc *be made in forty days, but she met adverse weather and was the sport ol the seas. In tho meantime the boal had been given up as lost. According to the report recelvei here the captain found an America! stowaway on board, who helped to do plete the meager supply of provis ions.

PARROT WORKS FOR CITY

“Teddy” Bosses the Workmen * Who Are Paving an Alley in Chicago. Chicago.—“ Teddy” is a parrot and a “boss” of men. City workmen are paving the alley in the rear of the bird’s home, and they get neither time to loaf nor opportunity to fatten their pay envelopes by making the job last longer, for “Polly” is constantly on the job “bossing” the men, except, of course, when “Polly” is talking politics. August T. Reichmann, 3014 Clifton avenue, letter carrier at the Lake View sub-station, is the owner of “Teddy” and describes the martinet hold the bird has on the laborers. “Come on, fellows!” the bird demands. At first the men were mystified, and gazed wonderingly at “Teddy" when they received the command: “Go to work, now, boys!” "Polly," alias “Teddy,” has a good eye for detail, too, her owner declares. Reichmann is off several hours every afternoon and declares he has come home and found his pet conversing and giving orders like this: "What are

Prison Heads Thinly Convicts Should Work for State. * ■ ■ o Some of Subjects Should Be Trained, Others Used for Gain, Is Idea Advanced in Reports Given at Jailers’ Congress. Baltimore. —The contract system of prison labor was condemned in the report of the committee on prison labor presented at the congress of the American Prison association in annual session here. The committee, however, recommended the system when no other means of employment could be provided, believing it preferable to idleness. The employment of prisoners, the report maintained, should be directed entirely by the state and the products of this labor should be disposed of by the state. The first consideration of every organization, the report continued, should be the training of the prisoner, and, after that, financial results. Every prison should be so classified that a certain group of men should at all times be provided with work on farms, roads and other outside work, and a larger portion of each prison should be employed on the state account system. . The committee believed it possible for every state having a population of two million inhaoitants or more to employ all its convict population in the manufacture of articles for the use of state and its political divisions. James H. Leonard, superintendent of the Ohio state reformatory at Mansfield, was elected president of the association, and Dr. D. C. Peyton, Jeffersonville, Ind., vice-president. Those re-elected were: Secretary, H. H. Trenton, N. J.; financial secretary, H. H. Shirer, Columbus, Ohio; treasurer, Frederick H. Mills, New York. Paid $579 for Love Powder. New York. —Because her milkman sweetheart failed to return to her after she had paid $579 for “love powder” to Jane Grindle, Mary Jarrin, housemaid, had the love powder manufacturer arrested. asked about the Incident, “it did create somewhat of a sensation, but I cannot see why, can you? Now, in New York, where I have lived from time to time, nobody ever thought anything of it, and I wore a bracelet most of the time in the same way. “You see, St. Louis is such a small town that anything novel gains so much publicity for one. When I first came to work here 1 wore many novel ideas. I have become quite demure in my tastes recently, but I like the bracelet idea. “Really, I think the bracelet looks prettier on the ankle than on the wrist. The gold shows off to better advantage over black silk hose than most any other color, but it looks good over pink.” PROPOSES AS JOKE; ACCEPTED Girl Disappears, However, and Harvard Student Is Sorrowful by Loss. Cambridge, N. J.-—Jimmy Ryan, a Harvard sophomore, is conducting a search for a girl to whom he became engaged the other night, and whom he had never seen before. Ryan and two others were neophytes at a fraternity Initiation, and were instructed to ask every girl they met to marry them. One girl—“the handsomest girt I ever saw” —according to Ryan, attracted the youth’s eye In Watertown square, and on bended knee he begged her to be his. Much to his surprise and to the chagrin of those in charge of the initiation the girt led him aside and accepted his proffered heart. Then, taking two little pendants from her ears she placed them on those of the entranced Jimmy to bind the agreement and disappeared around the corner. Ryan says he will find her if he has to hire a detective. Hens Are on Strike. Washingto.—Eggs will be cheapen and more plentiful as soon as the hens get through molting, according to Dr. H. M.

One of the sisters smiled contentedly when the callers, as had happened several times that day, were informed that the prospective hostess was not at home. The other sister repressed the smile severely. “You mustn't look so pleased when we don’t find them at home.” she said, as they went down the walk, “they may be watching us out of the window.” Important to Mothers Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, a safe and sure remedy for Infants and children, and see that it Bears the Signature of ( In Use For Over 30 Years.
