THE WINNER. An Englishman. Irishman and Scotchman made an agreement among themselves that whoever died first should have five pounds Macedon his coffin by each of the others. The Irishman was the first to die. Shortly afterwards the Scotchma-n met the Englishman who asked if he had fulfilled the agreement, to which Sandy replied that he had. “Well,” said the Englishman. “I but on five sovereigns.

I Foreigners who travel through the interior of china greatly miss “Cows’ milk and her butter," as a Japanese sign puts it. The peOpIe of the Orient use little of either.

The Coolie was freshlfrom his country home, Where he had heard little and seen less. He took the cow for na. ele- phant and fled before her. In Korea the little native cow is a petted darling that has been in- dulged to such an extent that, in- credible as it seems, she refuses to eat grass unless it has been boil- ed. It isnot unusual in very cold weather to see a pet cow clothed in a thick, warm blanket, while the children of the family shiver in their cotton garmentsâ€"and often very few~ of them; Little by little it came out that only five men were absent from the settle- ment. Two of these. Fitz and Baxter Gurd. were brothers who had gone on an extended trapping expedition. The other absentees were Highamson. Lyon‘s father-in-law; Thomas Miller, a professional guide and hunter. and. lastly, Henry Lyon himself, who had gone np river to visit his traps, start- ing on the previous Friday. The other men had all been away three weeks or more. and all had started in canoes. except Lyon, who, having sold his, went on foot. Next. by imperceptible degrees. the talk slid round to the subject of Lyon’s wire. They had been married four years and had no child. She had been the belle of St. Amiel, and there had been no small competition for her hand. Of the absent men both Miller and Fitz Gurd had been her suitorS. and the former and Lyon had never been on good terms since the marriage. The younger Gurd was a wild fellow. and only his brother's influence kept him straight. “ENGLAND “'E HATE-UNI) BY GOTT, WE SMASH HER” IS GERMAN CRY.

Continued next week l l l I 1 Text of the Lesson, ll Chron. xv, 1-15. Memory Verses, 1, 2â€"Golden Text, Jas. iv. 8â€"Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In the story of .lerohoam we had a sample of all the kings of the ten tribes. for there was u'ot a good king among them. They all walked in the ways of Jerohoam. son of Nehat, who made Israel to sin. There were a few â€"jnst eight. I thinkâ€"among the kings of Judah who did right in the eyes of the Lord, and Asa of today‘s lesson was one of them (verses l. 2). His fa- ther. Ahijah. son of ltehoboam. reigned only three years (xiii, 1, ‘2). The Lord gave him and his army a victory over the army of Jerohoam because they relied upon the Lord God of their fa- thers (xiii, 1'2. 18). His words in xiii. 12. are always helpfulâ€""Behold, God Himself is with us for our captain." While the story of Asa is told in part of a chapter in the book of Kings (1 Kings xv. 8-24). it occupies three chapters in Chronicles (xiv, xv, xvi), the first two telling of his thirty-five years of faithfulness and blessing and the last telling of tire years of disobe- dience. What a pity that such a good king with such a long reign should waste his later years in wandering from God! But such always is man i when he turns away from God. We cannot think of Asa as a lost man. though he acted so badly at the last. but he lost part of the full reward which might have been his {M John S; I Cor. iii. ll~l.'.). Every day and hour we should say, “We rest on Thee. and in Thy name we go.” Compare part of the prayer of Jehoshaphat in chapter xx, 1:2, which we may also continually appro- priate. Although the Ethiopians were such a huge host. yet because Asa re- lied on the Lord He delivered them into his hand. for the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in the behalf of (or as in the margin, strongly to hold with) them whose heart is per- fect (or whole) toward Him (chapter xvi, S. 9). This ninth verse is and has been for long years a continual strength and comfort to me and is working in me an increasing desire to have a whole heart for Him. and to see no one save Jesus only. The Spirit of God brought a message of encouragement to Asa by Azariah. whose name means the strength of Jehovah. which is found in lesson verses 1-7, and the exhortation in verse 7 is for us also who believe. "Be ye strong. therefore, and let not your hands be weak. for your work shall be rewarded.” Salvation is never of works, but always to him that work- eth not but believeth (Rom. iv, 5); but we are thus saved by grace in order to serve the Living and True God. and all true service unto Him shall be re- warded (Luke xiv, 1-1; Rev. xxii, 12; II John S). We need always the exhortation of iph. vi, 10. “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." Asa, being thus encouraged, cleansed the land of idols. even destroying that of his own mother. but this cleansing was chiefly in Judah and Benjamin. many of the high places still remaining in Israel. over which he had no control; and yet many out of Ephraim. and Ma- nassel.. and Simeon. and other tribes fell to him in abundance when they saw that the Lord his God was with him: all because he was seeking the Lord with all his heart and soul (verses 8.1m. They also renewed the altar and offered sacrifices. and there was no more war'until the thirty-fifth year of his reign. But the next year the king of Israel came against him. and. instead of relying upon the Lord. he made a league with the king of S.Vria. This brought a reproof from the Lord by Hanaui the seer. who re- minded Asa how the Lord had wronght marvelously for him against the Ethi- opians because he relied upon Him and‘ how, foolishly he had now acted by re- lying upon the king of Syria (xvi. 7-9). Quietness and rest on every side and :1 Whole hearted seeking. the Lord (i011 marked the tirst ten years or more of his reign «xiv, i-T: xv. 12-3-5). Such rest and peace and quietness is the privilege of every true heliever, and when He giveth quietness who then can make trouble whether in the case of a nation or a man unlv (Job xxxiv. 29). it is 11111 11111 1.1. e thus to fore- taste the kingdom 11 hen the wail; of righteousness shall be peace. and the etlett or service of righteousness quiet- ness and assuzance for'e-1 er «Isa. xxxii. 1. 17). The same Lord is ever saying to all. “Come unto me. * * * and I will give vou test"1.\Iatt. xi. 28-:- 101. and it is written. "“e 11 he have believed do enter into rest“ tileh. iv. 31. The great adversary hates peace always. and so he stirred up the Ethiopians with an army of over a million to go against Asa, who had only about half as many men. but Asa cried unto the Lord his God in the words of that ever memo- rable prayer of chapter xiv. 11, so brief yet so comprehensive. which has help- ed me many a time. and will prove a comfort and strength to all who appro- priate it. Asa. being out of fellowship with the Lord. gave place to the (leVil. be- came angry with the seer. and put him in prison and oppressed some of the 99001? (mi. 10). Near the close of his reign he became- m'ezttly diseased in his feet. but in this also he turned away from the Lord to purely human help. Lesson Vlll.â€"Third Quarter, For Aug. 22. 1915.
