ToPIc.-The story Of plate and its warn
fngs--Math- xvii, l7-2g-
Pontius PLATE was the sixth Roman
governor OF Judaa He was appointed
"A. ID. 25-76 III the twelfth year Of Tibe-
rius and reigned until A. D. SO. The
principal event Of his life was his rela-
tion tO the trial, condemnation and exc
cution Of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it
is from this standpoint that we are to
study his life and its warnings
/. Pilates life warns us against moral
cowardice Plate was not a physical
coward. He was brave soldier on the
field Of battle, but he was moral cow
ard. He was afraid to do right ia the
face OF the possibility OF losing the poIit-
ical position that be occupied if he did
it. He knew Christ was innocent. He
acknowledged it, for he said, II have
found no fault in Him, ~ and yet when
the Jews charged that be would not be-
C4sar's friend il he set Christ free be
yielded to his fear of man and delivered
Christ to be crucified. Yet this did not
save him from political disaster.
Through difficulty with the Samaritans
be was sent to Rome to answer charges
against him and lost his kingdom and
is said afterward to have taken his own
life. This is a terrible warning againS,
moral cowardice We should never feaJ
to say no to evil. We should never fear
to do right. Our only fear should be to
do what is wrong in the sight of God
2. Pilates life warns us against trying
to shift our responsibilities upon others
When Plate heard that Jesus was a
Galileean, be sent Him to Herod Of
Galilee, thinking that He would place
the responsibility upon Herod Of con
demning or acquitting Him. but Herod
returned Him. When at last Pilate con-
sented to release Jesus, be took water
and washed bis hands. as if to cleanse
himself of the guilt of Christ's blood,
and said to the Jews: III am innocent
OF the blood Of this just person. See ye
TO it. (" But all the water in Christen-
dom would not have cleansed Pilates
hands. He was the ruler and not the
people He was the judge and not they
Although 50 willing to have His blood
upon their heads. they could not take
Pilates guilt upon them. We are every
one individually responsible to God for
our actions We cannot place this re-
sponsibility upon any one else. Each
one must answer for himself, and him
self alone, to God. What a solemn
thoughtI Individually responsible to
God
8. Pilates life warns US against re-
jecting Christ. Christ stood before Pi-
late, but the day is coming when PLATE
will stand before Christ, and it were
better for him if be had never been
born Christ now stands before Us, but
soon we will stand before Christ. What
are you doing with Jesus. the King Of
the Jews? Answer for eternity.

Christian Endeavor has social side.
1t assumes social obligations, and it
exerts a social influence. The chief
end of Christian Endeavor is not the
discharge Of social duties, and this
is not the most important business of
the society. This should be borne in
mind. But when this is said it remains
that the social obligations of the En-
deavor society are Of great Importance
One Of the important committees il
that which has charge of the social work
Of the society. The extending Of social
courtesies to individuals and the provid-
ing of social entertainment for the
mem bers and their friends may exert "a
very important influence upon the pop
ularity and efficiency of the society.
Recreation and amusement are want
Of our nature. Especially is this true Of
young people Moreover, it il right and
fit that Endeavorers should act in con
cert in providing for this want. It is
well that the society az an organization
should, in a degree at least, give direc-
tion to the social life of the members

Every day neat looking, polite man
comes into our newspaper Office. He
carries number Of small white boxes.
He steps up to us and asks courteously
IL we want to buy lunch today. The
box contains a sandwich, an orange, a
slice Of cake and a boiled egg. The
price Of it all is 10 cents "A neatly
folded paper napkin is on top Of the
food. The fare is varied from time to
time The neat looking man gave me
the card Of his establishment yesterday.
1t is lunchroom and bakery. The or
dinary meats, soups, vegetables and des-
serts that business people usually take
in the middle of the day are Oh the bill
Of fare. Besides sending out the clean
and appetizing lunches daily the pro-
prietor of the place conducts the eating
house and bakery.
The name Of the proprietor printed on
the card was, was delighted to see, a
woman's. A shrewd, hustling woman
originated the idea and carries on the
business. Undoubtedly lunches taken
around among business offices every day
will be go, perhaps not at first. but in
time. The fiendish lunch counters and
monday feeding places where refined
business men and women must mix
with people to whom in same cases pigs
could read lesson in manners will very
quickly get the go-by when a neat, Hs-
thetic, dainty luncheon can be brought
to them at their own desks. At the res
taurants, which are all the ordinary
working man or woman can afford to
patronize, there are awful mysteries be-
hind the scenes that nobody who ever
hopes to enjoy food again dare pene-
trate. Slovenly service, not overcleaD
or overpolite walters and unutterable
cookery are what business people put up
with because they can do no better
Now in nearly every city in the Union
an enterprising, economical woman,
who was skilled cook, could inaugu-
rate such system AS the proprietor Of
the restaurant | speak of has done A
neat, cheap, appetizing lunch brought
to them in the middle of the day would
be boon to business men and women
everywhere. Why cannot women 90 into
the business of supplying it? This would
pay better than being stenographer or
giving music lessons or writing for
newspapers.
