The greatest enemy of shams the
world has known was the Teacher
who kept school beside the ripping
waves of Galilee and amid the bios
soming flowers of the Judean hills.
His most scorching words were di-
rected against the rich and lf-right-
eouS Pharisees, because they We're, as
a class, hypocrites. They We're the
greatest pretenders of their time To
them appearances were everything.
They would rather appear to men to
pray than really to hold communion
with the Highest. So long as they
could maintain the pose of righteous
ness, they We're not concerned about
the rottenness that seethed within.
the gentle Jesus called them
''Whited sepulchres,'' and other bitter
names. Their life was Numerically
opposed to His teaching, for He came
proclaiming art-rfghteousness. His
creed was theseFeeda of the pure heart,
which promotes the simple and sim
cere life. In His first great formal ad-
dress, the Sermon on-the Mount; He
showed that the only truth is that
which centers i'm the heart, and the es-
sence of all SHINING is in the intention
of the heart. According to the doctrine
of Jesus, man may be irreproacha-
BILE outWardly, a para gon of respecta-
bility, and yet be guilty in his heart Of
murder, adultery and all the other sins
of the Decalogue.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON AND YOUNG PEOPLES TOPIC
COMMENT BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

ticular: He insists on having COM
plete dominion over all lives that are
yielded to him. He expects full obed-
fence from his own. Christ will not
be king at all. unless he can be king
in all" No matter what the cost, He
must be- obeyed No praise or wor-
ship or gifts can take the place of this
obedience. So it was when King Saul
stood before Samuel, with the bleating
of sheep sounding in their ears, and
so it was when the Ephesian Chris
tians piled their precious books on the
leaping flames. A corked bottle will
remain empty even if held under Nj
agara. The heart that cherishes a
single darling sin must remain empty
of blessing. The scene of sacrifice
and surrender that was witnessed at
Ephesus must be repeated in the ex-
perience of every individual and every
church that would have power from
on high.

Three purposes of the Lords day
should be borne in mind mall CON
sideration of it. 1t is first of ali a ma.
mortal day. a reminder that God is
Creator and Ruler of all, and that TO
him man owes an Unpayable debt. The
second purpose of the Sabbath is rs
a rest day. 1t was the day the Lord
himself rested and appointed to all
men Cor a period of cessation from ac-
customed toll. The day is poorly OBJ
served when it does not bring rest to
body and spirit. Thirdly, this is the
day that the Lord has made for wor-
ship. 1t is a time to bow down before
the infinite. and let ones soul battle
in His goodness. This is highest rec
reation, and it should be every Sab
bath days duty and delight.

It's fullness and inwardness, and not
merely the evile side of life Jesus
knew life thoroughly His teachings
are permeated by thorough under
standing of human nature. He knew
what was in man, and had no need
that anyone should teach Him. 1t was
by this thorough knowledge that He
was able to penetrate to the core of
things. He saw clearly the superior
lty of the inner life, and dwelt upon
the Importance of it's cultivation. He
tried to free men from their slavery
TO outward appearance. His teach
ings would produce the simple life of
which we so sorely stand in need, and
which is being so widely lauded in
our day. The person who masters the
Sermon on the Mount needs no other
guldebook to simple living.
One cannot purify water by painting
the pump, as Moody used to say. A
life must be purified from within, and
not from without. The real remedy
is in the heart. So the gospel of Jesus
works upon lives and upon society by
taking root in human hearts.

Self-consciousness is a foe of true
worth. The knowledge of the posses,
sion of virtue somehow dims its lus-
ter. AS man cannot be humble and
know it," SO also he cannot own any
other merit to the full if he is con-
scious of it's possession. Some per-
sons are forever looking into their
state of mind to learn whether they
are happy or not, and of course the re-
suit is disappointing. Happiness and
virtue both require the simple I'M
consciousness of a child. A man can
not live his best before a mirror. Right
living comes not from a code of, NOR

The lesson taught Sceva's sons had
a salutary effect upon all of Ephesus
and the neighboring regions. Among
both Jews and Greeks the greatness
of the name that had such power was
magnified. Delinquent Christians con-
fessed their sins. There was a gen
eral time Of heart searching. Many
of those that practiced magical arts
brought their books and built a bon
fire of them. And books then were not
as common or as cheap as now. The
value of those consumed in this flame
of repentance was fifty thousand
pieces of silver (about $4,000, which
amount would equal today sum esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000. a
few years ago a similar bonfire was
witnessed in Dayton, Ohio, when the
most complete infidel library in the
country was publicly burned, the own
er having been converted to Christian
ity. Every few days we read of con-
tributions to the conscience fund" OF
the United States treasury There
must always be fruits meet for re-
pentance." A changed mind about
Christ must be followed by a changed
life. There can be no real conversion
without the putting away of the works
of darkness.

fine them IN paper lanterns for going
about the country at night or for indoor

the insects to each foot for travelling In

Also, they use them as ornaments for the

It is with these fireflies that Prof

Damp evenings are most favorable TO
the light giving, the object of which is
presumably to attract a mate. The young
larvae feed largely on snails, to which
their bite is poisonous. The luminous
organs are developed before the insects
leave the eggs.
Now. a theory formerly held was that
these frehies stored up light in the day
time for emission at night, as Is done by
the so-called luminous paint OF CALCIUM
sulphide. But ii was found that they
shone as brightly as ever after being
confined for ten days in darkness. Some
that were carried from Cuba to Havre in
the pitch black hold of a vessel were
brilliant on their arrival.
A more striking disproof. however. was
afforded by a batch of larvae Matched in
the dark from eggs laid in the dark In a

months OF their lives. They shone as
