On Saturday, Aug. l4th, the Centre
Square Sunday School celebrated, in the
beautiful grove belonging to C. H..
Seidle, what is known as Childrens'
Day. Never before has this Sabbath
School celebrated day of this nature.
1t was the first attempt in the history
of its organization. This, of course.
does not mean that the school did not
succeed in its first undertaking The
programme, consisting of recilations,
appropriate questions and answers, were
admirably executed by the school. The
exercises were interspersed with voc Al
and instrumental music. The vocal Sc
leclions were pertinent to the occasion
AMI their rendition by the school was
excellent, under the efficient leadership
OF Miss Emma l.. Seille. The instru-
menral music was furnished by the New
Mthonng Cnrnet band. The schoui
was addressed by o. f. Schaetfer. of
D'hitehall station, and by o. Z. Steckel,
Principal of the Centre Square Sele,t
School; the former speaking in the
English language, the latter in German.
The writer, however, must not fail to
mention that through the young ladies
of the Sunday School the stage in the
grove was eXquiSitely decorated with
flowers and beautiful emblems. 1t af-
fords me much pleasure to state that
one of these emblems was an anchcr
which was placed before the eyes of the
school. This was by no means an un-
fitting type. II was to direct the atten-
tion of the Sunday School to that which
is ''our sure and steadfast anchor. even
our faith" " On the whole the members
of the Centre Square Sunday School
may feel congratulated because of the
delightful time they spent with each
other, and because Of their ample sue
cess in the celebration Of their first
Chlldrcns' Day. o.P.s.

INTERNATIONAL LESSONS.
BY REV. F. b. nARaREAvEs.

Lesson g. August 22d.
WARNING TO JUDAS AND PETER.
John 10. 2l-3S. Golden Text Cor,
1912.
Time and place, same as last lesson.
This lesson contains one of the most
impressive and thrilling scenes in the
history of the disciples.
They were gathered round the table
partaking of the Passover supper, when
Jesus told them that one of their number
would betray Him.
To some this must have been a great
surprise, and it is no wonder that the
iervent and earnest Peter should desire
TO know who the traitor was.
He bcckous across the table to John,
the beloved disciples, "thut he should
ask who it should le."
John asked the Master and was told
that 1t was the one to whom lie would
give the sop, when He had dipped it.
And when He had dipped the sop, he
gave ii to Judas lscariot."
Then Jesus told MIN to do his work
quickly. Judas went out into the dark
ness OF the night to prepare for that
terrible betrayal which stands withouta
parallel in history.
Judas was warned by Christ, and yet
he fell. After some further remarks our
Lord gave His new commandment, "rhat
We love one another, as have loved you,
thatye also love one another
1t was at this point that the impetuous
Peter, referring to a previous remark of
Christs, whittier | go We can not
come" asked Him wither He went.
IPhen assured that he could not then
follow his Master, he broke out with the
vehement assertion, II will lay down my
life for Thy sake"
Observe the answer of Jesus, who
read his heart. "Wilt thou Law down
thy life for my sake? Verify, verify, |
say unto thee, the cock shall not crow,
Till thou hast denied Me thrice"
Here was q solemn and impressive
warning for Peter, and it seems to have
affected him SO much that he did not
enter into any futher conversation dur
ing the meal.
Peter fell, but by the grace of God
he was able to rise again.
We have here the contrast between the
two characters.
In each case the fall was gradual. In
the case OF Judas it was complete; in
that of Peter it was only partial.
The name of Judas has passed down
through the ages a synonym for traitor
and all that is despicable in such
character.
But the name of Peter is honored and
his renewed Christian life, so noble and
grand, is beloved by the church of God
in every land.
All that our Lord did for Judas was
of no avail; he went on to his dreadful
and tragic death.
But one look from the Master melted
the heart of Peter, and he came back
better and truer man.
LESSON THoCGATs.
]. God is constantly warning us.
2. 1t is well for us il we heed the
voice of God before it is too late.
3. DO not be over confident of your
own powers.
4. Learn to trust only and fully in Jes-
us,

the engineer been with the engine and |
boiler all the time, and, if the immediate |
cause of the explosion was defective
working OF the safety valve, it might,
and probably would have been discovered |
in time to prevent the disaster.

a very active intelist. In fact he had |
been setting up delegates in many dis
trcts in the interest of one of the as

him that he will have hard time to .
clear himself, if he can go it at ALL

4onisiana's Opportunity.
II. O. States. Jan. q

We publish elsewhere a letter from a
prominent citizen of Iowa. It will be
seen that the spirit of immigration has
been at last reached by the splendid
opportunities of our climate and soil !;
and the hour of prosperous era of in
dustrial and agricultural development
seems at hand. Experience since
Emancipation has demonstrated that
while the negro is fitted for the heavy
work of the cotton and sugar cultiva-
tion, his genius is not adapted to those
fields of industry and agriculture which
require the management of skill and
scientific methods. Hence the urgent
necessity and Importance of attracting
to our State an industrious white pop
ulation trained in the advanced school
of scientific farming and abreast with
the progress and improvements of the
age in the industrial departments.
This movement, which appears to
have taken fair start, justifes the
most sanguine expectations of resur-
rection of the languishing interests of
our State, and points to an epoch in no
remote future when Louisiana shall
take foremost position in internal do
velopmeut and wealth.
What amazing results might not be
expected from the establishment of the
enlightened farm systems of the West !!
! What teeming population may We
not expect to settle the rich lands Of
our country, bringing the cultivated
genius of agriculture and the practical
arts, aud awakening the sluggish spirit
of the people in grand revival of busi-
ness. Our people should act promptly
upon the suggestion of Mr.. McCabe,
and omit no step necessary TO make
this project of Northwestern settlement
practicable
In our opinion the success of the en-
terprise would depend to large degree
upon the encouragement it receives
from our own community. 1t would be
! wise if an organization should be form
ed of men of influence and means in
the State, who would take the whole
matter in charge AS the movement
progresses and develops it might be
practicable to obtain legislative aid and
assistance, and the approaching session
of the General Assembly admonishes
the owners of large tracts of untitled
lands and all those public spirited ciri-
zens who are interested in this impor-
| tant opportunity to settle our State
with an energetic aud thrifty popula-
| ton, to form this association at once,
! that their plans may be matured and,
] if necessary, to obtain from the Legis-
/ lature such enabling legislation as viii
/ establish an efficient bureau clothed
with proper power, and equipped with
the means to thoroughly and coupe
tently administer the interests of the
| unsettled districts of the State; TO give
all necessary information; to intervene
and effect all transfers Of land, and gen.
orally to encourage this growing dis
/ position of the Northwest to introduce
! the vigor of their hardy enterprise to
] our climate and soil.
