The Arabs of the Holy Land, whose harvest fields at the, best are poor and uhpromising, say | that the finest graih is garnered from! the stoniest fields. Perhaps it is the coddled youth, tenderly reared in soft' circumstances, who really deserves our commiseration, rather than the one whose lot has been difficulty and ad- versity. At least, we know that out of | the foul environment of the corrupt | city fife of Roman Asia, came that! noble character, young Timothy, the | protege of Paul. Sapless And Spineless. The secret of the cedars is that, as| the Psalmist says, they are "full of! sap"--the strong, resinous, preserva- tive life-juice that gives them abund- ant resisting and growing power. Cut| a cone from a'Lebanon cedar, and you! will quickly discover the richness of! the sap that saves the tree. As with t e| cedars, so with life. Timothy weather-| ed all c@ggraty and corrupting experien | ces because the juice of life, the real| vitality of spirituality, ran strongly in| the veins of his soul. Nurtured in the Scriptures from infancy by his mother Eunice, and by his grandmother, Lois, the things of the spirit were always real to him. It was the vitality of his own inner experience that made him strong to endure and to do. Instead of sheltering youth from stress and storm, the way of wisdom is to look well to the sources and sup- ply of strength. There is no fear for the young man or woman through whose pulses flow the current of sin- 'cere godliness. It is the sapless trees that crash in the high winds, The one supreme preparation for life in the rough world is a. personal experience . of God; and a maintenance of the chan- nels of spirituality, Force of character is wholly a matter of sap. What we call "spinelessness" is really sapeless- ness. If real life floods the veins and arteries, then the storms of circum. stances can merely strengthen charac- "ter, A slang phrase describes a cer- tain type of ineffective person as "sap-headed"; what is really meant is directly the contrary-lack of sap; dead- discussion of the Near Eastern Ques- tion, from the standpoint of the re- creancy of Christian nations. It is not the Turk who is to be primarily blam- ed for what has happened, but the statesmanship of London and Paris and Athens and Rome and Washing. ton. A Study In Success. This is a young man's Lesson. It is a study in the ever-absorbing theme of success. For the subject is a young man who, amid adverse conditions, ach ieved greatness of character and im- mortality of service. Timothy's is one of the names not born to die. Frankly, he was handicapped by his youth. Evidently it troubled him. The old church members always called him "our young brother." They look- ed down upon his merits because of his immaturity. Every sensitive, ambi- tious youth has been galled by the same treatment. Wise old Paul wrote candidly to Timothy. "Let no man des- pise thy youth." That is to say, stand up for your personality in spite of the graybeards. Ask no odds because you are young, and accept no handicap, either. You are what you are, regard- less of the calendar. Youth"is the time for achievement; don't fet the ofd folks lay the paralysis of fear and self-dis- trust upon you. Be your best and do your utmost while the juices of life are sweeping victoriously through your spirit, No better counsel can be given .to a young man thay' to read through, at a single sitting, the two Letters writ- ten by Paul to his dear friend Timo- thy. The second of them is the last ut- terance that we have from the old hero's prison cell. It is an incitement to greatness of character and service: "Stir into flame the gift that is in thee." Be the best and do the most: God wants more of you than you ever dream of for yourself. Clarion calls sound again and again through these two great Epistles. Timothy's beginnings of greatness were that he linked his life to a great man and to a great cause. He cast in his lot with the persecuted pioneer. Paul the Apostle; and with the new Christian enterprise. Thus he was for- Make the Rinso liquid first Do not put Rinso direct from the package into the tub, Mix a package of Ringo in a little cool water until it is like cream.

Strong Enough To Survive Success It has of late been my lot to meet many prelates of the old Eagtern churches, in and about the homeland of Timothy; and I am musing upon the contrast between them and him. Timothy became bishop of Ephesus (a fascinating ruin, the continued excava- tion of which awaits initiative from this side of the sea; and promises re- wards unique and startling), but he never ossified into a mere ecclesiastic. Of all the pretentious churchmen I have met on this journey, from the ecumenical patriarch down to the monks in the holy places, there is not one who has not excited my compas- sion, and sometimes my contempt. They are prelates petrified in their professionalism, Not one has breath- ed the fire of strong and sturdy man- hood. Leadership has been manifested by none of them. Concern over the | great issues of our day, which are pri. marily spiritual, has been displayed by never a one of them. They have missed the manly mark of ministry set by Paul for his virile young friend Timo- (thy. They have attained a certain mea- sure of success; but have not been strong enough to survive it. Their en- grossment in ancient controversial concerns is a warning, like that ad- ministered by the apostle to his com- rade, against being led into fruitless disputes the life and to do the deed is the suifi- cient answer to It is necessary to think of Timothy churchman, aa ministers.
