Record Keepers May become Past
COmmanders-Tent Notes.
Those faithful and indefatigable work
ers, the record keepers, have been recog-
nized by the supreme tent and will now,
after three years of service, upon a prop
er resolution of their tent, have the hon
ors of past commander conferred upon
them. May they live long and prosper,
for as long as they live and pursue the
same glorious work in which they have
been engaged the order will continue to
thrive.-Bee Hive.
The certificate fee for the special cer-
ti6cate issued to members of defunct
tents is now so cents.
The new prize period began Sept. and
is for the four months of September, Oc-
tober, November and December.
That trinity of Maccabeeism, the su-
preme tent, the supreme hive and the
supreme division uniform rank, are in
deed of one mind in pushing forward and
onward the great order whose cause all
have espoused.
All social members holding sick and flu
neral and accident benefit certificates in
the supreme tent should be classed as
beneficial members and given all rights
and privileges now enjoyed by life benefit
members.

Nineveh believed God, repented of their
sins, and God staid off the threatened
destruction of the city. But Jonah, for
political reasons, was displeased at his
own success an anomaly in this respect.
God will still bless the faithful efforts
of His servants to win the world for
Him. The task seems tremendously
difficult, the work impossible of COM
pletion, and yet nothing is impossible
with God With one missionary God
could bring the great, wicked Nineveh
TO its knees, and God is just as power
ful and Just as willing to bless His word
today as in the days Of Jonah.
Jonah's fidelity and success should
encourage all who are interested in mis-
sion work. 1t shows that it is not i'm
possible to win the world for God in
Jesus Christ

Fearless Speech.

1t is pleasant to say smooth things in
this easy going, time serving age, but
it may not be the wisest. A tendency
to point out the good things in the
characters and lives of wicked men and
worldly Christians and pass over their
sins and defects is one cause of the
failure of the church to keep its hold
on the masses. The Bible hides no sin
or fault of the servants of God. 1t is
admired because of its candor and fidel
ity to the truth. Those ministers of the
gospel and religious teachers who talk
out straight to their people, hewing to
the line, speaking the truth in love-
have the largest hearing and the most
vigorous membership. God pity min
istry that cries peace, peacel" when
there is no peace. A loving, fearless,
direct appeal to sinful men, laying open
their sins and showing them better
way, is the kind of preaching and
teaching the times demand. Religious

s"t,io For the Week BeEinnine Get.
22--Comment by Rev. $. II. Doyle.
ToPic An old time n,issionary.-Jonah iii,
10. @ missionary meeting.)
Jonah was the son of Amittai and
hative of Gath -hepher. He prophesied
in the reign of Jereboam II. God sent
him on special mission to Nineveh.
Jonah disliked the mission and tried to
Escape to Tarshish, but God, by His
providence, brought him to realiza
ton of his mistake. He commanded
him a second time to go on the mission
to Nineveh, and that time he obeyed.
The story of his going is found in the
topical reference.
Jonah preaching in Nineveh was a
typical foreign missionary.
1. Jonah was sent from God. The
Lord said unto him, "Arise, go to Nine
veh, that great city, and preach unto
it" Missionaries must be sent of God.
When Paul says in Rom. X, Is, ''How
shall they preach except they be sent:''
he refers not to man sending forth mis-
sionaries, but to Gods sending forth
missionaries. One who aspires to mission
work should feel called of God to the
work, and all who are interested in
missions should earnestly pray to God to
send forth laborers into His vineyards.
O. Jonah had message from God
and proclaimed it to the people. The
Lord said Preach unto it the preach
ing that bid thee" And Jonah deliv-
cred the message of God. Fearlessly,
earnestly. he announced to the people
the threatened destruction of the city,
crying upon the streets, Yet 40 days
and Nineveh shall be overthrown. The
missionary, whether at home or abroad,
must get his message from God, and
boldly must he proclaim the truth, and
the whole truth, not only holding out
overtures of mercy to all who will be-
lieve and repent, but warning men of
their sure destruction if they refuse to
repent and to accept the mercy of God.
8. God blessed his messenger and his
message faithfully delivered and sue
cess crowned his efforts. The neople of

The original 'boucaniers" were a
wild and picturesque gang. To the
waist they were generally clothed in
a sunburned and weather beaten skin,
and they wore pantaloons of coarse
linen. dyed and stiffened with the blood
of bulls and pigs and held up by belt
of rawhide, stuck full of deadly knives.
Their apparel terminated with pigskin
boots and no stockings, and they car
ried a long barreled firelock, loaded
with ounce balls of lead.
They were animated with common
hatred of the Spaniard, which in their
eyes justified any attack upon his per-
son or property. and by wild sort of
attachment to each other in their peril
Gus lives, which led to their being
known as the Brethren of the Coast"
When the Spaniards drove them into
the career of marauders upon the
sea. the word buccaneer took new
meaning, though they were also known
as freebooters. This was a mongrel
English word, ''buiten" being Dutch
nnd ''bueten" German for plunder. Of
this word the French made "fribus-
ter with the silent, and then soften
ed it to "filibustier," which the Span.
iards modified into filibustero. So we
finally got the word back, with a new
meaning and special application as
''filibuster." 1.-THE West Indies," by
