Thousands All Over Country Responding to “S O S” Wireless Sent Out by Churches GO TO CHUKCHI Think for one minute what this world would be without churches*. Are you doing your part to support them by your attendance? In recent years there bad been a surprising falling off in church attendance figures. People stayed away from churchsome because they had lost faith, but the great number simply because they had become apathetic. It was time that this apathy ceased. And it has to a large extent. With the advent of the GO TO CHURCH movement there has been a splendid awakening all over the country. Religion had only been dormant. The GO TO CHURCH call found a ready response. New churches have sprung up in many quarters. The old churches, which for some time past were remarkable for their empty pews, suddenly took on new life. The pews were filled. Men and women who had not been to church in a decade came back to the fold. They brought with them others. THE CHURCHES SENT OUT A “S O S” WIRELESS. NEWSPAPERS HELPED. SO DID THE TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. SO DID THE TRADESMEN. NOVEL IDEAS FOR WORKING UP ENTHUSIASM WERE PLENTIFUL. IN CHICAGO, FOR INSTANCE. FIFTY BARBERS IN SHOPS ON THE WEST SIDE WERE ENLISTED. THE PLAN OF INTERESTING THEM WAS HIT UPON BY A CLERGYMAN WHILE UNDERGOING A RAZOR OPERATION. HE ASKED THE BARBER TO REFER TO THE GO TO CHURCH MOVEMENT WHILE SHAVING HIS CUSTOMERS, AND THE ARTIST OF THE STROP CONSENTED. SHOP AFTER SHOP WAS VISITED UNTIL FIFTY AGREED TO SPEAK ABOUT THE MOVEMENT. THE PLAN WORKED WONDERFUL RESULTS. ALL THAT THE PEOPLE WANTED WAS A REMINDER. THE STORY OF CHICAGO IS THE STORY OF HUNDREDS OF OTHER PLACES. EVERYBODY HELPED THE THING ALONG. DO YOUR PART. GO TO CHURCH! Keep GOING TO CHURCH!

STILL HARRASSING MILES MARION COUNTY MEN’S HANDS SEEN IN DELAY The Marion county men who are after the scalp of Geo. W. Miles, State Game Commissioner, are up to their old tricks. Work at the nearby fish hatchery has been suspended by order of the govenor until inspection can be made of the expenditure of the money. Every person whom we have talked to that has seen the work that is being done at Papakeetchie ■ has commended the project and the way the work is being done. We hope the governor becomes acquainted with the facts as they are so that the hatchery, which is a valuable adjunct to our two lakes, might be completed as originally planned. Just In Time It was a peculiar and most embarrassing situation in which a certain young man of Philadelphia found himself one evening. He had been “calling now and then” on a charming young girl of Germantown, and this night, as he sat in the drawing room waiting for iher to come down, her mother i entered the room instead, and very • gravely asked him what his inten- . tions were. • The young man blushed and was about to stammer some incoherent reply when suddenly the young lady called down from the head of the stairs; “Mother, mother, that’s not the one!” A New Ford Story Two schoolmates met after a number of years. After exchanging greetings and confidences one remarked to the other. “By the way what are you doing for a living?” The other replied, “I am selling Fords—but don’t tell the dear old folks at home. It would break their hearts. They think I am still in the penitentiary.” Poultry Show At Goshen, Ind.

Lesson VIII.— Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 22, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. 11 Text of the Lesson, Matt, xxvii, 11-26. Memory Verses, 22, 23—Golden Text, Matt, xxvii, 22—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D.’ M. Stearns. This chapter begins with the words, I “When the morning was come.’’ What ;an eventful night it had been—the last I passover, with all its incidents; the great discourse and prayer; the agony of Gethsemane; the betrayal and the arrest; the mockery of a trial before the chief priests and the council, with the buffeting and spitting; the denial of Peter with his oaths and curses. Now they bind Him again and lead Him away to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, that He may be put to death. If the Jews had the power to kill Him He would have been stoned as Stephen afterward was, but the prediction in Ps. xxii, 16—“ they pierced my hands and my feet’’—indicated crucifixion, and every Scripture must be fulfilled. The record in John xviii, 28, to xix, 14, seems to come in before our lesson verses, telling of Pilate's private interview with Jesus and how he came out again and again and said, “1 flu J no fault in Him.” How when he asked what prisoner he should release unto them, as was his custom at this f» st, they asked for Barabb as who was a robber and murderer. How Pilate had Jesus scourged, and the soldiers made a crown of thorns and P"t it on Him and mocked Him aud smote Him. How Pilate brought Him forth ■Wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe and said, "Be 1 the Man!” And they all cried out. "Crucify Him, crucify Him!” and said, “By our law He ought to die because He made Himself the Son of God.” When Jesus made no reply t<> Pilate s ■ question, "Whence art Thou?" andask- ! ed if He did not know that he had power to crucify or release Him, Jesus said that Pilate could have no power against Him except it were given him from above. As Pilate persisted in lis i efforts to release Him the Jews said, ■ “If thou let this man go thou art not i Caesar’s friend.” Then Pilate brought | Jesus forth and sat down in the judgi inent seat, and Jesus stood before him, the Creator before one of His erea- ! tures. It is even so as you read this—your < Creator in the person of the Lord Jesus is before you to be worshiped, reverenced, adored if you have already received Him as your own personal Saviour; if not, then the one great and only question for you to answer is the one in verse 22 of our lesson, • “What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” It is never in any , case a question of our standing before men, character or good works or even church membership, which may mean something or nothing, but only this. Am I in Christ, redeemed by His precious blood who bare my sins in llis own body on the cross? Pilate sitting on the judgment seat ; and Jesus standing before him, the * chief priests and elders accuse Him of i many things, such as perverting the nation, forbidding to give tribute t o. Caesar, proclaiming Himself a Kin?. To all these accusations Jesus answered never a word, and Pilate marveled greatly (verses 12-14; Luke xxiii, 2,3). It is trying to be lied about and falsely accused either behind one’s back or i befoi'e your face, but to do as Jesus i did and answer nothing when there is I nothing to be answered is the better way. Nothing can be said or done to a: y member of His body without His permission or without His feeling it, a d all suffering with Him and for His sake is a very great privilege. Consider continually that He who bore all this so meekly was not only m reality King of the Jews, but also King of nations, ruler of the kings of the earth, King of kings and Lord of b rds, and all kings shall fall down I e-, fore Him, all nations serve Him (Dei t. x, 17; Ps. Ixxii, 11; Rev, i, 5; xv, 3; xvii, 14; xix. 16). Oh, the stupendous wonder of it all that He should c n- L descend to submit to all this for o ir sakes; then to think how little we - re willing to bear for Him! How Pilate sent Him to Herod to be | further mocked and set at nought a d ■ how there also He answered nothing is; recorded in Luke xxiii, 6-12. Wl >n l He had been returned to I'date he: brought Him forth and saiu to tlie I Jews. “Behold your King.” Put they | cried out: “Away with Him, crucify Him. We have no king but Caesrr” ! (John xix. 14, 15). Pilate’s wife sv:;t to him, saying, “Have thou nothing ta: do with that just man, for 1 h ive suffered many things this day in a dre on 1 because of Him.” But the chief prii •ds j and elders prevailed, and when PlUte washed his hands, saying, “1 am in iocent of the blood of this just perse j.” they all answered, “His blood be on is and on our children” (verses 19, ‘-0, 24, 25). So Barabbas the murderer was rsIpased and Jesus Christ the Holy One of God, God manifest in the flesh, delivered to their will to be crucified (verse 26; Luke xxiii, 24, 25). This is the hatred of God which is in the heart of man, foi' the carnal mind is enmity against God, and only the Spirit of God can convince of sin, the great sin of rejecting Christ, and open the heart to receive Him. Because they chose Barabbas and Caesar instead of Christ their suffer Ings continue to this day. (To be continued —)
