MAKING OUR LIVES COUNT.

sThe Epworth league topic for Aug.
% is a-lesson devoted to- the faith and
zeal of Paul, and is found in II. Tim
othy, ill.,, 10-15; II. Corinthians xi.,.s23-
%. Too many lives are failures be-
cause they never started for anywhere
in particular. Drifting may perhaps
win in a yacht race. but doubtless 1t
never will in the race for eternal life
No one ever yawned a good deed into
being. Wishes are not horses, and so
beggars do not ride, now or hitherto
1t is most important what kind Of
children we shall produce by our work
The same material might make the
statue Of Judas or Christ, a palace
or a prison.
What shall this life Of mine count
when finished? This question should
have sober consideration now. The full
result no one can prophecy. The gem
eral worth anyone can estimate quite
accurately. Which way you are headed
decides where you will fetch up.
1t is not enough to be always busy.
Some of the busiest people accom-
pllsh the least work. What you are at
is the chief matter. Better do nothing
than do some things. We may. live
nobly if we will. But to do so we will
have to select our course carefully and
keep to it persistently.
Conspicuousness is not the test Of
human worth. Success cannot be ac-
curately gagged by the applause of the
crowd. Lives that count are not all
ways popular. Nero was judge and
Paul the accused prisoner. Both had
made men talk because of their deeds
Both had ideals which they followed
with intense zeal. One reached a high
pinnacle Of earthly power and pomp
and was given divine honors and wor-
SHIPPED as a god. The other died as a
criminal. No one now hesitates in de-
Gliding which was benefactor of men,
No one is in doubt as to which life was
high and which was low. Both lives
counted, but counted differently. p

THE REFORMATION IN NORWAY.

The Luther league topic for Aug. %
Is found in II. Chronicles xxx, l15-19.

text is taken ast afbasis for Teyiew

in Norway. 1t isisestimated that over
So per cent Of theapeople Of that land

The Norwegian church was original

subject to their king as the. highest
authority in both 2church and state;
Norway separated, from Denmark in
1914, and was united with Sweden at
that time, the king Astill being head4o
the church. The church accepted the
three eeumenican ereeds, the Augsburg
Confession and tLuther's Small Cate
chism as her symbols. A translation Of
the Bible, made inl607, was long used.
A new translation was published in
1890. The Church Ritual issued un-

and ecclesiasticaIllaw promulgated in
1857, are still in force except as amend

DAVID AND JONATHAN.

The International Sunday school les
sonfor Aug. % is found in I. Samuel,
Xxx. 1928, and can we'll be termed
model friendship. The golden text is
Proverbs xviii. "a. In chapter xix. is
noted the temporary reconciliation be-
tween Saul and David, through the
mediation of Jonathan. AS David wins
further renoWn for valor SauPS hatred
returns, more violent than ever, and
the victim of his insane jealousy es-
capes by night, assisted by his wife,
the kings daughter. He seeks refuge
with Samuel at Ramah. but his pres
ence there is soon discovered. and flee
ing at SauPS approach; he returns for
an interview with Jonathan.
David did not wish to be forced into
the life of an outlaw so he begs Jona-
than to discover, if possible, the cause
of the kings animosity toward him.
Jonathan's sanguine disposition scout
ed the idea that Saul desired DaVid's
death or that his dislike was really
permanent but David feared the worst.
The two friends arrange together that
at the feast of the new moon Jonathan
should make a final attempt to recon-
Gle the king to David.
Then as the two friends walked
through the fields-both thinking that
It might prove their last meeting
tney SOlemnly vowed tnat their mu-
tual friendship should be lasting
should continue even to their descend
ants. In spite of David's desperate
condition that day, his friend believed
In him, and believed he would some
day be king of Israel. Jonathan's ut
ter lack Of jealousy under such circum-
stances is truly Christlike.
Jonathan promised to sound his
father on the following feast day as
to his feelings toward David. and
agreed to report to David on the third
day. AS private interview might be
prevented by the presence Of spies or
others, they arranged the sign as de-
scribed in verses 2O-22. so that. in any
case, David might readily know wheth-
er or not it were necessary for him to
flee from the country.
The rest of the chapter should be
faithfully read. At the appointed
feast, David's absence is noted by the
king, who had probably planned his
death on that occasion. Jonathan
quickly discovers Sauls implacable
hatred of his rival and risks his own
life vainly in defending David from the
royal abuse. The account of the part
ing of the friends at the trysting-
place on the third day is brief but sig

427.-To a Massachusetts man, Joseph
Walker is due the credit of inventing the
shoepeg Previous to the year 1918 its use
had not been known, and the invention
gave a new start to the manufacture OF
boots and shoes Up to that date such
articles had been sewed, and the peg,
made at first by hand, came in to revo-
lutioniZe the trade. 1t was, however, the
custom of shoemakers who lived away
from the manufa curing centerS to make
their own pegs by hand even down to
recent times. but the machine manufac-
tured peg has now superseded all such
slow work, just as the horseshoe nail
manufacture is now almost wholly in the
hands of establishments that make them
by machinery. The usual story comes
with the introduction of the shoepeg, to
the effect that some interruptions par
ties tried to swindle the unSuspectinS

HOW TO MAKE OUR LIVES COUNT.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
Aug. % is another lesson from St, Paul
on how to make our lives count, and is
based on II. Timothy, L., 6S; II. Cor
inthians XII, 1928. Few lives have
counted for more than that Of the
apostle Paul. Converted under most
miraculous circumstances, he at once
inquired, Lord, what wilt Thou have
me do?" and from that time on the do
ing of the will Of God was his chief
business in life, and as the apostle to
the gentileS he achieved undying fame
in the annals of the church and had
the most conspicuous part in spreading
the gospel throughout the Roman en-
pire. And in the letters that he wrote
to churches and to individuals he left
the church legacy of ineStimable vail
ue, and being dead his life still counts
for God and for Christianity in most
powerful way In spite of intervening
centuries.
How was Paul able to make his life
count for so much in his own day and
to exert an influence that is still felt
| today after many centuries have passed
away? Without going into any de-
tailed analysis of his character we may
be satisfied with asserting that his
success was due to his sublime faith
in God and in the gospel of Christ and
| his full conservation to the one great
| idea of saving souls. Paul had great
1aIth and desire that all men should
possess the same faith, and he consid-
cred no sacrifice too great that this
| might be accomplished. AS a minister
of Christ he was 'fn labors more abund-
ant, in stripes above measure, in pris-
ons more frequent" He was beaten,
stoned, shipwrecked, Sin journeyings
| often, in perils Of waters, in perils of
| robbers, in perilS by mine own country
men, in perils by the heather. in perils
| in the city, in perils in the wilderness,
| in perils in the sea, in periis among
| false brethren, in wearyings and pain
| fulness, in hunger and thirst, in fast
| ings often, in cold and nakedness."
Such record abundantly explains the
secret of Pauls success. A life of such

as follows:
Rock Of Ages cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
BE OF sin the double cure:
cleanse me from it's guilt and power
Not the labors Of my hands
Can fulfill Thy laws demands:
Gould my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow.
All for sin could not atone:
Thou must save. and Thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring:
Simply to Thy cross I cling:
Naked, come to Thee for dress:
Helpless. look to Thee for grace;
Foul l to the Fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or 1 die.
While I draw this fleeing breath,
When my eyes shall close -inrdeath,
