h e N amel less Girl H e T oine
The Christian Endeavor topic for the
week beginning May 10 is found in II
Kings V, IA, and is devoted to a name
less girl. Her name is unknown, as are
the names of myriads of Gods heroes
and heroineS. Though a Jewish maid,
she was captive in the family of Naa-
man, a high officer of the Syrian army.
Naaman was great man In all partic-
ulars but one; "he was a leper." What
would be the worlds wealth and victor
les and power to leper? In sympathy
for her master the little Jewish girl
spoke Of the Prophet of Israel to Naa-
mans wife, and the result was that
Naaman went to Elisha the prophet and
was healed, and became a believer in the
true God.
This story teaches US that when we
are away from home we should not for
get God or our religion. This little hero
inc was far from home. She was a cap
tive in the home of an enemy of her
country. Yet she did not forget God or
his prophet. There were many things
about her in her new life, that would
tend to make her forget God and home,
and yet she did not do so. Many people
nowadays when they go from home
leave their religion behind them They
think that when they are in Rome they
should do as Rome does. This is a
mistake. We should always do right, no
matter where we ere. We should be true
to God, whether at home or abroad
This story teaches that even the young
can be used Of God for good. This little
heroine did not say. Il am too young
to do anything She was young, but
she had faith In God. She could not cure
her master, but her God could, and she
believed it and acted accordingly, and
the result was that her master was re-
lieved of loathsome disease, and, even
better he was led to knowledge and be-
lief Of the true Cod What work for
a little captive maid to do! God has
work for all to do-young as well as old
He has a work for us to do, and we
should be faithful in doing it.
We should not hesitate because we are
young or in a humble position or in an
obscure place. Whatever our hands
find to do we shoId do it with ou
might" Results should be left with
God.
A Girl w 10 Did Not Forge
The Epworth league tonic for the week
beginning May IS is found in II. Kings V,
IA, and is about an unknown girl. 1t is
no romance of great physical suffering
and courageous endurance. 1t is the plain
tale of an honest little Jewish child with
no genius but straightforward trust in
God and regard for men.

Sunday Study.


The International Sunday School les
son for Sunday May 10. is found in
Acts j, Ill, and is devoted to the last
| days OF Christ on earth and His ascen-
sion into heaven. The last scene is on
| the Mount Of Olives, and the day is
Thursday, May IS, A D. 30. The golden
text is from Luke xxiV, 81, while He
blessed them He was parted from them
and carried up into heaven" The les
son deals with the appearance to James,
the last appearance to the disciples, and
the ascension. The Mount of Olives
has been famous from the almost imme-
mortal past. On it's top David was ''wor-
shipping God" on his fight from Jeru-
salem to escape AbSalOm'S revolt, his
eyes in tears, his head covered with his
mantle. his feet bare, when Hushai his
friend, came, as in answer to the prayers
even then just rising, and undertook to
return to the city and undo the coun-
sells of Ahitophel (S1n, II, $780, In
EzekiePs visions the glory Of the Lord
went up from the midst of the city and
stood upon the mountain which Is on the
east side OF the city-that is, the Mount
Of Olives (Ezek. ii. 23) and it was on 1t,
also, that zechariah In spirit saw the
Lord standing to hold Judgment on his
enemies and it was this hill which his
almighty power was one day to cleave
toward the east and toward the west,
so that there would be "a very great
valley through which his people might
have broad path for fight Czech. xiv. a.
1t was while standing or resting on this
hill that Christ foreto1d the doom i'm
pending over Jerusalem Matt xiv, D.
and it was from some part if it, near
Bethany, that he assembled to heaven
What better closing for these lessons
on the resurrection of Jesus can there
be than the following words from the
Christian Jew, Edersheim, written on
Easter morning, 1883. after he had COM
pleted his great work on 1.-The Life and
Times of Jesus the Messiah
"Our task is ended-and we also worship
and look up. And we go back from this
sight into a hostile world to love and to
live and to work for the Risen Christ
But as earth's day Is growing dim, and
with earth's gathering darkness, breaks
over 1t heavens gathering storm we ring
out-as of old they were wont from
church tower to the mariners that hug
ged a rock-bound coast-our Easter bells
to guide them who are belated, over the
storm-toSsed sea, beyond the breakers
into the desired heaven Ring out, earth
all thy Easter-chimes; bring your offer
ings, all we people; worship in faith, for
This Jesus, who was received up from
you into heaven, shall so come in like
manner as ye beheld him going into
heaven. Even SO, Lord Jesus, come
quickly"

II was shortly after o'clock this afternoon when
the tank careened and fell, the heavy iron sheath

quantities of blazing petroleum into Passyunk-ave

by the fiery spray which fell among them.

and employees of the company, and the blazlns

on Passayunk-ave At time 1t was thought that
flames would communicate with the purifying
house OF the United Gas Improvement Company
which is separated from the oil works by vacant
lot. The burning oil overfowed the dikes 10 the
lot and only the determined efforts saved the
gas companys property. Trenches were dug, and
eight lines of hose kept constantly playing
on the purifying house. 1t is feared that other
exploding or collapsing tanks cause the oil to
food the trenches. in which case IT would be eN-
tremely difficult to save the gasworks =.
