High Wafer i'm Texas.

The recent disastrous floods in
Texas have done damage which will
amount to hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Railroad traffic is suspend
ed in Southern Texas because of the
numerous wsshouts and many bridges
are gone. At Calvert the rise was
so sudden that when the water went
through the town several negroes
were drowned and five bodies have
been recovered. 1t is reported that
many farmers, white and colored,
living in Brazos Bottoms have been
drowned. 1t is reliably stated that
one family Of six persons perished.
The loss in cotton aud corn alone
will reeeh a million dollars, while
another million will not cover tho
loss to railroads and other property.

Topic For the Week Bcginning July
O-COmnrcnt by Rev. 5. II. Doyle.
ToPIC.-A good vacation.-Mark vi, z, T. la,
9OS2.
Man absolutely requires rest. 1t is a
poor economist who makes no provision
Tor vacatlOn-a season of quiet rest
and recuperation. But the usefulness of
vacation depends entirely upon its
character. 1t may be blessing. or it
may be curse; it may stimulate us
for an increased interest in the duties
of life, or it may rob us Of much of the
interest that we previously possessed.
How to make our vacation Il good va
cation is Il very important question.
The incident in the topical reference
is very suggestive. The 12 have re-
turned from an arduous and successful
tour, and Christ takes them apart for
rest, fellowship and communion. 1t
may well be called a good vacation.
1. The apostles deserved their vaca-
ton. They had labored and were weary.
They had preached the gospel, cast ont
devils, healed the sick. They were
weary because cf their tolls 1t was i'm
possible to rest where they were, as
"they had no leisure SO much as to
eat No vacation can be good one
unless it Is deserved-unlcss we feel
that because Of constant, earnest effort
we have a right to rest and need it.
2. The apostles sought suitable
place for vacation. 1t was desert
place apart, quiet, uninhabited place.
Many vacation is spoiled, SO far as
proper results arc concerned, because
the places visited are the very ones
where "many are coming and going"
Recreativc rest is impossible In crowd
ed seaside resort. 1t means weariness
and not rest, nervous depression and
not recnperatiCn.
3. The apostles had Christ with them
on their vacation. He took them. The
object was quiet communion with Him
and fellowship with enc another. Christ
took them urCn their search for rest.
Does Christ so with rs on our yaca-
tions2 Do we take Him or do we leave
Him behind? Alas, too many Christians
leave Christ at home when they go to
the seashore, the mountains or to the
lakes. You would not know from their
daily walk and conversation" that
they knew Christ. No vacation can be
good one unless we have Christ with
us. If we leave Christ behind, it must
be harmful and not helpful, injurious
and not inspiring. Whatever else we
do let us take Christ on our vacations.
a. The object of the apostles vacation
was good one. They went apart to
rest awhile, that they might be the bet
ter prepared to perform the duties of
the future. This is the only worthy OBJ
1ect of vacation-thatw we may he bet.
ter fitted and prepared for the duties Of
life upon our return.

Gods Inv.

b. Sin is never a matter of public opin-
ion. 1t takes neither shape nor color
from its surroundings. 1t is always q
transgressor of Gods law, else not sin
at all. Gods law may or may not be in
harmony with ours. We build our little
social barriers and feel they bound the
kingdom. So did the elders in olden
times, and by this law they would try
the Christ. Our general assembly is
prone to give what it calls deliverances
on matters concerning which the Bible
knows nothing. They are at best mere
opinions. which have naugkt to do
with manhood. Gods law was here be-
fore we were. 1t requires no action Of
congress or assembly to determine what
it is. Envy. jealousy, hate covetous-
ness. malice. evil speakins-these are
sin. They are not bad manners, low
breeding. offensive conduct, but sin,
plain. unvarnished sin. They strike at
God. As such they ought to be under-
stood and treated. There Is no lesson in
culture equal to Il penitont hour. 1t up
roots selishness from the heart and
makes one mindful Of another. Pres.

D, "A Good Vacation" - Text,
Mark vi, 7-12-13-3O-32.

"Come ye yourselves apart into a
desert place and rest awhile.
1t is an old saying that "the devil
never takes a vacation" This is some
times quoted against pastors and other
Christian workers who do take an occa-
sional rest. 1t has no pertinence in
this connection. We are not to take our
orders from him nor to initiate his ex-
ample. Our Master in His earthly life
did rest, and told His apostles to do SO.
We are not wrong in following His ex-
ample. No labor is so exhaustiny to
nerve force as work of mind and soul
in caring for mems spiritual needs. The
manual laborer tires muscles; food and
sleep repair the wnste. The manager Of
affairs of business has u heavier task
and more exhausting service in brain
care and nervous strain. He needs re-
Taxation frcm thought problems Sleep
and exercise and change of scene be-
come necessary But he who carries
sorrows of heart, burdens Of mems sins,
anxieties Of soul for the eternal we'll
being of lis fellows, taxes all powers of
body, mind and spirit. He needs to
escape from the sight of men to the
hills and woods and sea. He needs to
replace the babel of voices with the
songs of birds, the murmur of hreezes
in the tree tops and thunder of snrges
on the sand. Here God speaks te h;"l,
and angels strengthen him for renewed
service. Moses talked with God in the
wilderness. He left the crowded camp
and In the mountain top saw visions of
the heavenly sanctuary which he copied
for earthly service. He there learned
laws which have nodded the legislation
of all later ages. Elijah in the same
mountain height received messages from
God and went back among men to
anoint prophet and two kings who
should change the fate Of nations.
Jesus in the mountain mapped tho
whole of His life course and ovcrcame
the power of the tcmpter. Ho often
sought rest and recovery of strength in,
solitary commanings by day and by
night in the wilderness with Him who
is the source of all strength.
But it is great mistake to use a va
cation just for pleasure. Mere enjoy
ment is unworthy the seeking of any
one. Nor has person the right to va
cation who has not earned it by hard
toll or found the need of it in some sick
ness or infirmity. AS digestion waits on
appetite, so does benefit in vacation de-
pend on the sense of need. These rest
ing times should be so used as not to
tax the powers already tried, but to
bring to them recuperation and new
vlgor. Summer schools and exhausting
travel may be serious mistakes in ones
experience. Idleness is not always best,
but change of surroundings and occupa-
tion and opening of new fields of
thought and experience are valuable:
Let the city worker seek tine country.
The country toiler may we'll visit the
city and find new life and energy and
uplift for his part in the work of the
world. Whoever we are, and wherever
we go, wc should always get closer to
God.
