A baby's medicine From history .to biography -- which is the explanation of history ~the Sunday Schools of the world gow turn. For nine months of this year these many millions have been studying the decline, fall and parti- al restoration of Israel. With Octo- ber they begin a six months' course of lessons in the biography of our | Lord, written by Dr. Luke, holding to the central theme, | World's Saviour." | "Well, the world of today needs saving badly enough," is the first in- stinctive comment of the reader, Be- fore the winter is over we may dis- cover the tremendous and vital per- tinency of this Life to our tangled, terrified times. This Greek Christian friend of the Apostle Paul, Dr. Lucas, or Luke, "the beloved physician," with his rare talent for biography, may have the word for the overwhelmed Greeks of today, and for all of us who are involved in their catas- trophe, For what has of late befallen In Turkey is not an isolated event: it is inextricably bound up with the entire European poMtical situation, and with the future of the New World. As by a sudden jolt, the reading world finds its attention suddenly drawn back to Bible lands, as the present center of the world's tragic stage. Once again the daily news- paper is closely linked up to the in- spired Scripture. Out of the old Book we may gain light for the darkness portrayed by the press. Anew we discern that even current history is but His Story. What Flapper Does Not Know. To the multitude of modern girls who do not read Sunday School Lessons----they seldom get deeper than the society notes or the "wom- an's page"--and to the male "flap- pers," or 'cake-eaters" or "loungs lizards," as the picturesque slang of the day describes them; I would like to whisper a first word of wisdom from Dr. Luke, such as seems scarcely to have entered their over- barbered heads: ' "Before all else, and after all else, life's 'real 'Interests and pleasures and rewards are wrapped up in be- ing fit parents of babies. The old- fashioned girl, who was first of all a homemaker, was really wiser than the most sophisticated thodern de- votee of. switt-changing fashions. Sha knew no jass: but she could sing nursery lullabies. She never danced cheek to cheek with strange men: but she knew and loved the velvety touch of a baby's face against hers. Instinctively, there was deep in her consciousness the conviction that the wise God meant something for her to learn when He revealed Him- self in a Babe and a home." Like the prelude to a great drama, the story of Jesus Christ begins with a tale of parenthood and infancy. Be- fore the babe of Bethelehem appears we find his Way prepared by the birth of another child, who is to be His herald and announcer and intro- ducer. All the dignity and awe of special revelation and of angel visit. ation invests the advent of this chila of Zecharias and Elizabeth. To this day, the fairest village in all Pales- {tine is the reputed home of Eliza- beth and birthplace of John. I visiteq it after the armistice with an Ameri- can Red Cross worker. -- Sorrows of the Ohildless, What modern editors call "the huy- man interest touch" was always on the point of Dr. Luke's pen. As he .| begins his matchless story of the life of Jesus, he first of al] introduces us to the family sorrow of a Jewish priest, Zecharias and his wife, It was a high honor to be a member of the priesthood, ministering in ihe temple; and Zecharias and Eliza- beth bore a respected name; and had the true love of each other. But they were childless. This was the cloud that darkened all their days. No son would carry on the torch of their 'lite after them. Their name would end. That primary mission of normal existence, the continuation of their line, as well as all the joys of parenthood, were denied them. In his deepest being, every normal per- 80n feels that he and his blood after him should have a place in what Kendall 'Banning has sung as "The Phantom Caravan': TT "Ont of the Dusk they troop, my son, from the uttermost pales'of the Where the spark of thelr lives was Ht by the Norns and their courses moudled and cast, As a cavaleads they ride them forth, In a line from AV to you; Your brawn is theirs and your brain Is theirs; you do as they pig you do, HISTORY---AND HIS STORY. The International Sunday School Lesson for October 1 Is, "The Birth of John the Baptist."--Luke 1. "Jesus the ; Shall be your dreams and shall be your prayers; your fights are the fights they made, The lives they lived and the deaths they died you shall live and dfe again; In you is the seed of a million hopes of a million maids and men, God grant, my son, that you fight the fight and hold to the faith. Amen!" . ' ~The prayers "He sald [5 the sane jtuary of the temple were less real to the Priest Zecharias than the con- stant ery of his soul, "Oh God, a son!" That was the plea that heaw- en heard; for as he ministered the Angel Gabriel appeared to him with the promise that hfs supplication would be answered. Like every nor- mal foretidings of a birth the mes- sage carried the assurance, "Thon shalt bave joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth." Back of al Statecraft. We smile in pleasure as we behold the pride and joy of young parents In their wee ones. A glow of grati- fication suffuses our hearts; for we know that real wisdom and real hap- piness -- go infinitely better than anything the Broadways of the world can give y-- and real work and real influence and real reward all belong to these young men and women who have recreated the world. As one who has 'ravelled far ,and seen much of life, and tasted most of the pleasures that can come to a decent man, I testify that there are no Joys like home joys; no rewards like chil. dren; no Mooks so desirable as do- mestic happiness. Yesterday, in an elevaied ear 1 sat opposite a young father anl mo- ther, working people who had been down town to buy a kiddie car for their two-year-old boy. The laddie needs must sit upon it in the lurch- ing train; and as the father steadied the babe his face glowed with a pride that seemed to say to the sym- pathetic onlookers, "Was there ever such a wonderful boy as mine? Don't you all envy me? Pity the poor kings and millionaires who have no such son as this!" In truth, as the story of the Babe John implies, this matter of infancy and childhood is antecedent to all affairs of State and Church, What the politicians babble about is abso- lately secondary to the interests of the babe. Child welfare is the bed- rock of world welfare, All other auestions are first of all questions of | Jf where the most bables are being born; and how many; and how they are being trained. France, which seems to be troubling the world, 1s herself most troubled problem; it bulks bigger: in French thought than reparations or imper- falism. French women are not bear. ing enough babies. The government is offering premiums and prizes and rewards for children; but steadily France sees her neighbors driving her to inevitable defeat by the strat- egy of the cradle. Quantity and quality of childhood fs the first and last factor in all national and inter. national questions, Right here we come to the crux of the Lesson. Are we raising pro. phets, dedicated to God?

Some are the shortage of the supply of clergymen: we need to be more concerned as to 'whether the ministering and Christian spirit is to be carried into all walks of life. Do we want our boys to have a mis- sion, or merely to "get along?" Are we willing for them to have the hard and lonely lives of pioneers, blazing a new way for the coming King? \ ---- & _ Like Father, Like Son, The more one sees of this business of ralsing sons and daughters the clearer becomes the conviction that it ig largely a matter of being the right sort of person one's self, and then of keeping close to the chil- dren.
