Confucius, the founder of the Confucian
religion Of China, lived sol to Ats b. C.
He was contemporary with the Tarquins
OF Rome, Pythagoras of Greece and Cy-
rus of Persia. His descendants from the
aristocracy of China have always en-
Jcyed high privileges. There are still
some 10000 of them, seventy generations
removed from their ancestor; this being
the eldest family in the world. There are
l,6e0 temples erected to the memory of
Cenfucius or Kpng- Fu-Tsee, in China,
the largest one covering ten acres Of
land: He is the patron saint of that vast
empire; and the doctrine he promulgated
forms the state religion of the nation,
sustained by the whole power of the en-
peror and the literary body. Yet it is a
religion without priests or liturgy. Nor
atty and reverence are it's chief eharac-

JACOB AT BETHEL.
s:s!5E
~

The international Sunday school lesson
for Sept: s is found in Genesis xviii.
1922. The golden text is from Genesis
xviii, Is: Surely the Lord is in this
place" The two preceding chapters of
Genesis should be read to become fully
acquainted with Jacob and Esau. The
previous chapter tells of the deception
practiced upon Isaac by Jacob and his
mother, Rebekah, and of Esau'S hatred
and purpose to kill his brother because
he had supplanted him and taken his
blessing, and as result of this the send
ing of Jacob TO Haran to Rebekah's
brother, Laban for a time. Our lesson
is the story of the appearing of the Lord
to Jacob as he journeyed to Haran and
is a record of the wonderful grace of God,
but seems also to imply true penitence
on the part of Jacob after he left his ia
theirs house, for he would have much
time 10 mediate as he journeyed on
ward alone. If RebeFah had believed
God and had trusted Him to accomplish
in His own way His promise to her
Chapter XIV, 2S) she might have been
spared this separation from Jacob. But
she seems to have feared that the pur-
pose of God might be frustrated by Esau
and his father and that it was necessary
for her to act promptly even if not hon
estly. 1t is a Festful thing to believe
that every purpose of the Lord shall be
performed both for His people and
against His enemies and just abide in
Him. AS Jacob joprneyed from his home
the blessing of his father and the love of
his mother would lift him somewhat
above the thoughts of his brothers an
ger, but he knew he had sinned against
God. even though his mother was the
most guilty, for she had been his coun-
seller to do Wickedly. and there must
have been some searching of heart be-
fore God. His mother promised to send
for him when his brothers anger had
Guieted, but we do not read that she ever
saw him again on earth.
In their first starting out. sympathy
turns towards the open, careless, gener-
Gus Esau rather than to the crafty, cum
ming Jacob. But their real characters
were shown ! their attitudes towards
the birthrigat. That carried with it the
Inheritance of % double portion of the
property, % the headship of the family,
CD the promise of the blessing made, to
Abraham This promise particularly was
coveted by Jacob and ''despised' by
Esau. On account of his great desire for
that blessing, Jacob grew to be a more
and more noble man; not caring for it,
Esau degeneTated until he became a mere
Bedouin robber. Where one shall end de-
Ponds, not upon his starring point, but
upon the goal for which he is aiming.
The lesson teaches:
1. God looks, not upon what one is,
but at what he may become. With his
help, the worst may become the best
2. Good things obtained with deception
are sure to bring evil with them.
3. The connection between heaven and
earth is very close. Angels are always,
going back and forth between them.
4 God pledges himself, to be mans
helper, and hence one should pledge his
life to God without making any condi-
lions

One of the Great
Questions of the Day.
FACING A PROBLEM.

FACING A PROBLEM
The destruction of the forests of
America has become a question for seri-
Gus alarm and the organization of the
bureau of forestry is hailed by the lead
ing Journals of the country as a most
proper one. The farmers have also be-
come persistent in their efforts for the
retaining of the magnificent timber
belts. In fact, public sentiment in be-
half of systematic forestry has grown
fast, and practical steps to advance 1t
have been taken by several states as we'll
as by congress. The, forestry appropriaL
ton allowed by congress for the new
fiscal year is $1S5, 44O, against $2S,52O three
years ago. During the same time the
personnel has been increased from eleven
in the forestry division to 125 in the for
estry bureau. In this work the depart
ments of the interior and agriculture are
cordially cooperating.
This bureau has been doing good work
since its establishment. In his last an
nual report Secretary Hitchcock gave the
number of forest reservations created by
presidential proclamatiens as thirty
eight, embracing an area of 4S,772. lbs
acres. Since then the secretary has Sc
cured another reserve, of $1,000 acres in
the heart OF the Wichita mountains in
Oklahoma.

Forestry is the best friend not the en-.
envy of the lumber interests of this coun-
try. The forester cuts trees as well as
grows them, but does it intelligentIy.
He differs from the reckless lumberrnan
by looking after reproduction while tax
ing of the harvest, 1t has been pro-
posed to make an Appalachian forest
reservation at the head waters of Ger
tain rivers that flow through Virginia
the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and
tennessee. and report on the subject
says:
One problem is whether by the d.
struction Of this magnificent forest area
the streams now furnishing water power
TO vast industries having hundreds of
undeveloped powers and feeding MANY Of
our great rivers shall be shrunken to in
significance or dried up
The question was Thoroughly discussed
by the trans Mississippi congress, which
WAS in session last weak, and a resofu-
ton was passed by that body in favor
of the construction by the United States
government OF reservoirs and canals to
reclaim arid lands, and national and state
storage dams to increase, the rainfall.
With this movement forestry in all its
branches is inseparably connected. The
Key to the battle against drought is for
estry and irrigation.

SYMPTOMS OF SELF.

Some of the manifestations of the self
life are: A disposition to look at every
thing with an eye as to how it will affect
ourselves. 1t is an instructive wide
awake looking out for what we call Num-
Der One. There is a disease in the roots
of some trees and vegetables called root
knot" which causes the roots, instead of
stretching themselves out in the soil. to
curl themselves back into a knot, stunt
ing the growth and preventing fruit
The self-life is always unwittingly
magnifying itself. 1t will talk inces-
sanity. Of its doings and great achieve
ments; it will relate incidents in it's past
life in such way as to show off self to
the best advantage.
A soul affected with mental root knot
is always turning back upon itself, and
if it breaches, or prays, or sings, or gives
money, or enters any enterprise, it has a
keen faculty of seeing how the results
will affect its own honor or reward or
happiness.-Rev. G. D. Watson, in Way
Of Faith.

of the time Of Christ weigh about as much
as four of our dimes and were struck by
order of Simon Macabaeus about 140 B.
G. 1t was the sacred money of the Jews,
and each Jew twenty years old was re-
quired to pay a shekel as tribute to the
sanctuary. Thus all Jews of age sent
one of these coins to the temple each
year. The design on the face represents
a large goblet, together with the inscrip-
ton in hieroglyphics, 'Shekel of Israel"
On the reverse are a plant that looks
like a sprig Of Canadian thistle and the

goblet is supposed to represent the sacred

asensus of the world in giving to us the
nation thus distinguished. Our neighbors
to the southwest are called Mexicans;
to the north they are known as Cana
dams, or by some other provincial name,
Which everywhere is understood to come
after our title. In London a citizen of
the United States is always called an
American in contradistinction to a citizen
of Canada. This being the case, it wosed
