Christ Jul Pilot.

"Jesus, Savior, Pilot Mel" is II
of the most beautiful contributions
to hymnology by any American hand
during this generation. It's author
was Rev. Edward Hopper, at that
time the beloved pastor of the Church
of the Sea and Land in Market
Street, New York. The same title is
given to our Divine Master in Ten
nyson's exquisite lines, "Crossing the
Bar" All through our experI3ucc
in life we need to have Jesus at the
helm. He knows where the shoals
and the sunken rocks are and where
the safe deep water is also; if we are
wise, we will let the Omniscient Pilot
do the steering. His disciples had
a rough night of it while he was
asleep in the stern of the boat; he
was teaching them a lesson; and
when in their extremity they called
up the Pilot, the storm lulled, and
their fishing smack swan safe into
the harbor.-Rev. Theodore Cuyler.

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
NOTES ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR OCTOBER II.
Crossing the Jordan.
Joshua 3 :9-17.


through the waters, I will be with
thee; and through the rivers, they
shall not overflow. Isaiah 49,.
The encouragement so freely given
to Joshua was to prepare him for
the active service which should fol
low. Indeed, the closing verses of
u last lesson indicate the imme-
diate preparation which he made for
an advance across the Jordan River.
The place that was chosen for the
passage of the Jordan was at or near
its fords, opposite the city of Jeri-
cho. Under ordinary circumstances
it might have been expected that a
vigorous opposition would be made
by the Canaanites to the crossing of
the Israelites, but the swollen condi-
ton of the Jordan river doubtless
led them to think hat the passage
of the river was an impossible task,
under the existing conditions.
The Ark of God in the Van.-It
was a significant feature of the cross
ing of the Jordan that the ark of
God, borne by the priests, led the
way. In the wilderness the people
had been led by the pillar of cloud
by day and the pillar of fire by night.
Now these tokens of the divine pres
ence seem to have disappeared, but
the ark of God remained as the visi-
bic and efficient symbol of Jehovah's
guidance.
A Miraculous Interposition.-The
Scriptural narrative of the passage
of the Jordan shows that there was
a miraculous element in this great
event. No n~aturalistic explanation
will account for all the phenomena
which are recorded. God clearly and
miraculously ~interposed hat the wa
tiers of the Jordan Nmight be rolled
back and his people permitted to
cross in safety on dry land.
Israel Clean Over Jordan.-There
have been various famous passages
of rivers, such as that of Caesar over
the Rubicon, but none more impor-
tant than this crossing of the Israel
ties over the Jordan. 1t marked their
entrance upon the Promised Land,
and separated them from the wander
ing life of the wilderness in which
they had spent so many years.
Memorials of Gods Mercy.-In
accordance with Joshua's command.
two memorials were set up, comment
Grating Gods mercy to the people in
the crossing Of the Jordan. Each of
these memorials consisted of twelve
stones, representing the twelve tribes
of Israel. One was set up in the
midst of the river bed of the Jordan
where the priests had stood, bearing
the ark upon their shoulders while
the I~sraelites passed over, The other
was set up on the bank of the river.
to erv as a permanent reminder
of that great day when the Jordan
was driven back from before the ad-
vancing host of Gods people.
Some Practical Teachings.-This
incident in the history of Israel is

Happiness is never touched by the

anything better than a disagreement
Even. the prisoner, who had borne up
all through the trial, cried as the re-
corder finished his summing up. Mrs.
MadauS' five children, including her

turned and the foreman announced the
verdict, Recorder Golf said to the
prisoner:

the case of a very outra geous crime
they would sometimes permit the GRIM

shame OF his crime, which they consid-
cred severer punishment than any

this must have been in this jury'S mind

whom you have made orphans. The re-
suit of this verdict, most extraordinary
as 1T is, even in the face of your own

"Ch Sugar.; - From millionaire p@ to Tramp

The seasoned member of the Cock
tail club electrified his brother mem
bers one morning this week by leading
into the session a man who. in appear
ance, was a typical hobo.
His approach with his tow was re-
ceived with uplifted and interrogative
eyebrows; silent questioning which
ended in all the manifestations of dis
pleasure which absence of salutations,
averted faces and turned backs could
show.
To all of this the seasoned one
was oblivious.
With a display of Indifference to his
fellow members and Difference to his
companion he seated the old hobo at
a nearby table and upset Dicks eqan-
unity by ordering a quart Of cocktails,
care to be taken that the wine of the
widow should be used, as that was his
friends favorite brand.
"And many a bot of that label you've
put away, too," the members hearh the
seasoned one say to his guest
[ .Dotty!" calculated the youngest
without turning his head.
/ "Overstepped the limit" remarked
THE intermediate.
cease of club consideration" added
the Oldest.
In the meantime Dick had served the
cocktails, not without casting a re-
proachful glance at the seasoned one
and look of contempt on the hobo.
Silently he took the orders of the
others, silently given. While they
were waiting for the renewals, the sea-
soned member engaged his guest in
conversation.
In moment the Oldest, the inter-
mediate and the youngest were lean
ing forward intently interested, their
full glasses neglected.
The hobo was pouring forth a stream
of information concerning sugar, the
quantity on hand, the supply, the de-
mand and the probable course of the
stock as a consequence.
Tips on the market seemed to fairly
bristle in the talk. In ten minutes the
members knew more about sugar and
it's production and the fiuctuation of
It's stock and the causes therefor than
they had ever expected to accomplish.
This stream of knowledge was pune
tuated by frequent recourse to the
cocktails the obliging Dick had placed
on the table-so frequent that the hobo
had absorbed three while the interme-
date had disposed of one.
When the hobo had come to a full
STOP. he stood up, saying:
Il think little brandy would top
off WELL"
The seasoned member Of the club
gave the signal to Dick, who, with i'll
grace placed bottle and tumbler be-
fore the hobo, to see with consterna-
ton the hobo fill the glass; toss it off,
and with short nod to his entertainer
