I School notes | SuuUUMUMMUUnMUtmMHHHUUUUMat Miss Deardorff Glen Gordy visited High School Monday morning John Cobb, of the freshman class j withdrew from school last Friday, i he will go west with his parents. Mrs. C. F. Franklin of Warsaw, ’ visited Miss Franklin from Saturday until Monday. The Domestic Science classes are making excellent muffins this week. Helen and Francis Wilkinson are absent this week. The lower grades are engaged in designing rugs by means of straight lines. Miss Franklin’s room celebrated Washington’s birthday by making hatchets and decorating them with cherries and our national colors. The pupils in Mrs. Shannon’s room have joined the Liberty Bell Bird Club. Each one is the proud possessor of a neat little pin showing the Liberty Bell with a bird poised above. Miss Franklin’s pupils will soon join the club. This is a result of movement of bird lovers to protect insect-eating birds who help us so much by leaving our crops free of many of the dangerous insects that infest j our crops. It is decidedly a very good movement. Ray Redman withdrew from Miss Sprague’s room last week. Keep in mind Battis, the Dickens man for March 26. The boys have been forbidden to play marbles “for keeps” at school; parents should co-operate in this matter. The value of the marbles in themselves is not great but the value placed upon them by the youngsters is often inestimatable.

The pupils bought and sold a number of small silk flags and received the large flag as a prize. Robert Sfiarp is in Goshen this week. Our basket ball team will plav at Milford, Friday evening. Catherine Rapp, accompanied by Miss Branham sang before High School Friday morning. This is not the first time Catherine has i sung for us but we can say in all j sincerity thatit is one of the times she sang best. Louise Self and Julia Bishop are absent from school. Both have appendicitis, Louise is probably improving the more rapidly. The teachers were greatly pleased by the large attendance at the school entertainment given Saturday evening in the Opera House. The net receipts are $55.65. Mr. Wood’s pupils met at his home, Monday evening, while he was at Band practice. When all had arrived, Mr. Wood was sent for. He came in all haste believing Mrs. Wood to be ill. Imagine his surprise when he found about 30 ' young people to greet him instead of a sick wife. Spectators say it was amusing. The evening w’as agreeably spent in games followed by pop corn and taffy.

S«Y_SCHOOL Lesson IX.—First Quarter, For Feb. 28, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. vii, 3-17. Memory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text, I Sam. vii, 12—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. When the men of Beth-shemesh lost 50.070 men because of their transgression they sent to the men of Kir-jath-jearim to come ami take the ark away from them, for they -said, "Who , is able to stand before this holy Lord ; God?” Their question is a very suggestive one, for the holiness which , God requires in His law, which is | holy and just and good, is so great I that no man can stand before it, even I as it is written: "If thou. Lord, should- i est mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall ! stand? But there is forgiveness with thee * ♦ ♦” (Rom. vii, 12; l‘s. cxxx, 3). The way out for all, for all have sinned and come short, is that the nee- I essary holiness is found in Christ, who i perfectly kept this holy law and is | made righteousness unto all who re- i ceive Him (Il Cor. v. 21; I Cor. i, 30). The ark found a resting place at Kir-jath-jearim for many years iu the house of Abinadab in the hill until David rejnoved it to a tent which he had pitched for it in Jerusalem (Il Sam. vi, 3,4). After it had been twenty years there Israel seemed to awake to a desire for the Lord, for it is said that they "lamented after the Lord ’ (verses 1,2). It may have been that after the catastrophe at Ebenezer, in which the sous of Eli were slain and the ark of God taken and because of which Eli died. Samuel returned to his father’s home at Ramah, for there he lived all his life afterward; there he built an altar unto the Lord; there he judgeci Israel going in circuit to Bethel, Gilgal and Mizpeh. and there he died and wets buried (i, 19; ii, H; vii, 16, 17; xxv, 1). Ever since the Philistine victory Israel had been under their power, but now Samuel encouraged them to put away their idols, return unto the Lord with all their hearts and serve Him only, that He might deliver them out of the hands of the Philistines .(verses 3,4). The one thing that the Lord is looking for in all the world is a whole heart for Himself (Il Chrou. xvi, 9); no idols, nothing to grieve or hinder, but such yielded hearts that He can magnify Himself in us and work in us all His good pleasure (Heb. xiii, 20). So all Israel gathered together to Mizpeh that Samuel might pray for them (verses 5,6). They drew water and poured it out before the Lord and fasted and confessed their sin. The wise woman of Tekoa said, “We are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again” (II Sam. xiv, 14), and in Lam. il, 19, we read, "Pour out thine heart like wat*r before the race or ttw £.viu.“ tfvruo emptiness before Him will ajnvays bring His fullness; He His strength in our weakness; when we are nothing then He can .work. There must be no will nor way nor thoughts of ours to hinder. The Philistines, hearing of the Israel movement, went up against them, for when the people of God turn to Him with purpose of heart the devil always wakes up to oppose. Israel did the right thing in saying to Samuel, "Cease not to cry unto the Lord our God for us.” So Samuel offered a sacrifice and cried unto the Lord, and the Lord heard him and thundered with a great thunder and discomfited the Philistines, and they came no more into the coast of Israel all the days of Samuel (verses 7-13). We are reminded of such words as these: “The God of glory thundereth;” “God thundereth marvelously with His voice; great things doeth He. which we cannot comprehend” (Ps. xxix, 3; Job xxxvii, 5). Neither thunder nor lightning should cause us any fear if we are right with Him, but should rather 1 make us rejoice to hear His voice and see His might. As Noah, Daniel and Job are quoted as samples of righteous men (Ezek. xiv, 14-20), so Moses and Samuel are mentioned as great intercessors (Jer. xv, 1). At the same place where the Philistines conquered Israel and captured the ark there the Lord overthrew them and delivered Israel (chapter iv, 1; vii, 12). and Samuel set up his memorial stone and said, “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.” All who trust in the Lord can surely say the same, and ; we should say always: “Henceforth I * * * unto Him who died for us and rose again*” “Henceforth * ♦ ♦ laid up for me a crown of righteousness” (II Cor. v, 15; II Tim. iv, 8). By the great sacrifice of Himself we are redeemed; by His sacrifice as a burnt offering, typified in Samuel’s offering (verse 9), we become wholly dedicated to Him (Lev. i), and when we willingly acknowledge it and desire to serte Him only then we may expect to see His power on our behalf and His working in and through us. Samuel’s home at Ramah and the three other places where be judged Israel are full of interest historically—bls home because of the story of Hannah and her song; Mizpeh because of Israel's return to God at this time (v, 6), and the meaning of the name (Gen. xxxi, 4D-52), though it was not the same Mizpeh. Bethel reminds us of Abraham’s second altar in the land and his departure and return and also of Jacob’s dream (Gen. xii, 8; xiii. 3; xxviii. 10-19). At Gilgal Israel kept the first passovsr in the land, and it became Joshua’i beadquarters (Josh, v, 10; x, 15). Farewell Parties Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. Cobb were given a farewell reception in the Masonic Hall, Monday evening and on Tuesday aftepoon about 35 ladies went to the tfrs. Kerns home ’ where a taffy pulling was given in Mrs. Cobbs honor.

Ajopt Resolutions The union Revival Services conducted by Rev. B. F. Hornaday who was assisted by all the local pastors, closed Friday evening amid much rejoicing and enthusiasm. All through the meetings there was no excitement, the appeal was made to reason and not to the emotions, but Friday evening there was some loosening and for a few minutes the people turned the exercises into a town meeting, the following resolutions were then offered and on motions were adopted: It was then moved that a copy of the resolutions be given to the Journal for publication and this to was carried with mighty applause. The contribution amounted to $255.00. This sum is as great if not greater than given to Billy Sunday and other noted evangelists but this was simply characterise of the people of Syracuse. We the citizens of Syracuse in congregation assembled and representing all the Cristian churches of the town and county hereabouts desirous of showing to the Rev. B. F. Hornaday our appreciation of his great and lasting work as an evangelist here doing the past five weeks do now by voice and note say to him: That we do most heartily commend him as a minister and a man of the people. We revere him for bis soul stirring sermons, prayers, exhortations, visitations and other spiritual endeavors looking to the betterment of the whole community through the appeal for nobler living. That we extend to him our cordial good will and as he returns to his home and family and congregation at Orland, he goes bearing our esteem, our affection and our prayers. We hope furthermore that he may be blessed wiih health and long life to continue carrying forward the cross and gospel of Jesus, so to extend and strengthen God’s Kingdom among the children of men.
