TEACHERS MEETING.
The s fudy Of the international Bible
lesson at ST. Marks Lutheran
Church.

In opening the meeting Pastor
Bushnell said: 81 promised the state
convention at Richmond that Roam
oke county Sunday school convention
should be organized, and as friends
are interested in the good work, I
presume to ask your prayers in be-
half of this movement" Prof. Gray
bill led in prayer, upon request.
Mr. Bushnell said, that Roanoke
city had about two thousand teachers
and scholars and should fall in line
with the state and international
work. With 1O1, 1924 Sunday schools,
/, 100, 1O4 teachers and S,345.435 schol-
ars in the United State alone, the in
ternational bible lesson has become
great and grand revised version for re-
ference. The lesson plan might embrace
q quarterly topic and text, with the
lesson topic, outline and golden text,
A foolish son is a grief to his father
Bitterness to her that bore him.
Prov. 1925. The daily scripture read
ings should also receive attention,
covering the context of the lesson e
1v-xxiii). Bible readings for young
men are very helpful in connection
with lesson like this about Absolom.
The study,of course, must be properly
adapted to the senior, junior and
primary classes. The historical con-
nection should be carefully reviewed,
that the scholar may bring the facts
before the minds eye as real and
living truth. Places should be indi-
Gated upon the map and given in their
proper historical setting. The time is
also important. The personal
characters call for graphic des-
cription. Then for older scholars
the critical study OF the text
is indispensable, and even young
children should understand the cor
rect meaning of the words.
The expression All is we'll in this
lesson will bear critical attention to
great profit. The discourse, or general
remarks, afford us the richest field for
imagination and reason. Here we
see the king and the father sitting,
indeed, between the two gates of
'kingly duty and parental loye;'
between tender solicitude and tor.
menting reproach.
Illustrations from common life can
be drawn Fathers and mothers today
have awaited with anxious hearts to
hear from a hayward child, from =,
sick bed far away, or have heard with
breathless suspense the postman's
step. kilograms expected and unex-
pected are passing everywhere and
overrunning each like Ahimaaz and
the Cushite who bore the sad news
which broke David's heart. Is Absa-
lom safe? Our bright promising boy,
the pride of the home circle, the popu-
lar leader of his set, is our boy safe?
In one of the halls at Roanoke college
is life-size picture representing a
young man at point where the path
of life divides, his guardian angel at
his side, the bible dropping from his
hand, while he stops to daily with the
wine cup, bags of gold and the card
table"
After general interchange of re-
marks, with questions and answers,
the meeting was closed with prayer
by Rev. w. &. Campbell, who was
appointed to head the meeting next
week.

FOUND IN GOOD HANDS.
The Young Lady Who Mysteriousiy
Disappeared.
By Associated Press.

by ASSOcldIeu ITeSS.
WASHINGTON, November belle
Brown, the daughter of a Washington
business man, whose disappearance
five weeks ago caused considerable
stir and extensive search, has been
found in New York all right and in
good hands. Her mind seems to have
been partially unbalanced when she
left. She was in the Baltimore and
Potomac depot, and hearing the train
for New York announced, she pur-
chased a ticket for that place and
boarded the train on sudden impulse.
On the journey she attracted the
notice of kindly disposed southern
lady, who secured good home for
her during weeks illness which fol,
lowed and until she secured employ
ment as companion to an invalid
lady. The longings for home and
friends induced her to write to her
father, who went at once to New York
and found his daughter with her
mind again clear.

territorial government of the most

simple word from Governor Mellette
and a wave Of his hand. The first

as little formality. At the same time

Request of $4,000 and Gift OF
$4,000.

We are glad to announce that by
the will of the late Henry j. Steere, of
Providence, r. l., Roanoke college
will receive the handsome sum of
$4,000. Mr.. Steere was noted for his
generosity during life, and had con-
tributed annually to the college for
the past six years. He left $4,000 to
religious and charitable objects, and
$3.50, 900 to friends. Among his be-
quests was $4,000 to the Bpneficent
Congregational church, of which he
was a member. The college has re-
Gently received bequest of 5000
from former student, who desires to
to withhold his name. Such modest
gifts are gratefully appreciated by the
friends of christian education. While
large additions have been made to the
endowment fund. mainly due to the
merit of the college and the tireless
labors of the worthy president who
has advocated its claims, the fund
is yet too small to place the institu-
ton in the best keeping with the
schools supported by state appropria-
tions. Ali praise to the self-made
christian college.

Indiana May Pipe Her Gas Away.
Rv Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. For the first
time in the history of natural gas its
commercial standing has been fixed
by court of appellate jurisdiction:
Today the supreme court handed
down decision, in which all the
Judges concur, in which it is held that
natural gas may become CONNER
cial commodity, and that the state
legislature cannot enact any law regu-
lating commerce between the states,
for the reason that the federal consti-
tuition forbids the states from legislat-
ing on that subject. Therefore the
legislative act of last winter prohibit
ing the piping of gas out of the state
is unconstitutional. The law was
passed to prevent the Chicago Gas
trust from piping gas to Chicago,
and under the decision work will be
begun to connect the gas fields with
the City by the Lake, The home gas
companies hoped that the court could
give the law some standing by hold
ing that foreigners might not condemn
the right of way over which to pipe
gas. This was their strong hope, but
it comes to paught.

The going of the old year aud the coming
of the new brought marked changes in the
personnel in several of the official depart
ments of kennebec county. When the
clock struck ~ times last night the late in
cumbents of the offices of clerk of courts,
treasurer, sheriff and county commissioner
were legally relieved of the official iuties
of their respective positions. Mr.. A. c.
Otis, Jan. / 1881, became clerk of courts
for this county, and for eight years has held
the position. showing a marked business
capacity in its management He has been
most ably assisted by Miss Julia NJ. Folsom,
who also served as assistant under the for
mer incumbent, being thoroughly conversant
with all matters pr raining to the office. Mr..
Mimi, where he is to take part in the active
management of the Northwestern Loan and
Investment Co. Mr.. C. N Weston of Bel
grade has served his county faithfully for
six years AMI many will miss the genial and
courteous commissioner. Sheriff NJ Fadden
came from Waterville to live in this city
four years ago since which time he, as sher-
if, has won the respect and esteem of all
who have come to know him OF those
leaving Treasurer Rollins has been in office
for the longest period, coming here from
years ago. With the exception of Mr. Otis
none of the above have made known their
plans for the future.

TO the contrary, this distance has not varied

3D. In regard te scholarship, | think the
prepoudersnce of argument is on the side of
two sessions, although the objection on thi.
point to one session can be largely removed
by kindly holding an extra session in the af-
terpoon for delinquent pupils. One strong
argument in support of one session is the
fact that il affords an excellent opportunity
for the pupil to practice self-control, an in.
dispensable actor in education. Ny exDeri-

on the ground Of length Of time between

While, on the whole, am in favor of two
