The forms of stealing then were war and
eptraey. War is still popular. France
spends ten times as much on armies as
schools. But in our land, where We
spend ten times as much for schools as
aon soldiers, those old forms of robbery
have been succeeded by the more refined
land more extensive robberies of monopoly
and speculation. Stealing has become a
fin art.
AS IN ancient times the warrior and
splrate won popular admiration, while
farmers and mechanics were despised, so
Today many young men bestow their adj
m1ratton upon the man who can seize
the property of others by commercial
maneuvers without rendering any equiva-
est industry.
- The clumsier forms of stealing are Of
course despised as much as ever. A petty
thief who robS a lady of her jeweiry in
the Fourth avenue tunnel in New York is
sent TO state prison for twelve and
half years, for lack of artistic talent in his
profession. If he had robbed three banks
by embeZzlements he might have escaped
WIN naI1 as long sentence, as Roice,
s0f Jersey City, did on that same day.

Honor thy parents; that is, all
from whom advancement may befau:
Thou shalt not kill; but needst not strive

Adultery 1t is not fit
Or safe (for woman) to commit:

Thou shalt not covet; but tradition

man of one book" If that one book
be the Bible, the world may well be-
ware of the man nOuriShed by it, and
living in its thoughts; for he wilf-con-
quer the world. A deep knowledge of
the Bible truth is what this hasty, rest
less age of ours most needs. M .sss,
To learn quantity of detached quo
tatlonS from Shakespeare will not make
us Shakespeare students. Smattering
is not scholarship. We may have "a
hundred Bible texts at our tongues
end, and yet know little of the riches
of the book.
No other book repays the deepest
study as the Bible does. We cannot put
too much thought or work upon it.
We need to study each book as a whole
and then as part of the greater whole
OF the Scriptures.
We cannot work for God successful
ly without knowledge of Bible truth.
We must be ready to tell men, not
what we think, but what God has re-
vealed. Mr.. Moody's power came from
between the well-worn covers Of his
Bible.
Read what Sir Walter Scott said Of
the Bible:
within this awful volume lies
The mystery of mysteries!
II2EpieSt they of human race
To Whom God has granted grace,
I'd "ead, 10 fear, to hope, to pray,
To lift the latch and force the way;
And better had they ne'er been born
Who read to doubt, or read to scorn."
The Bible" said CoIeridge, finds
me as nothing else ever does" AS we
study, the Bible will find us, take hold
on us and inspire us as no human voice

LOYAL TO THE KING,

The Epworth League topic for June
p is found in Job, xiii, Is; Daniel,
vi, 4-1O. Not every day are the depth
and genuineness of our patriotism put
to the test. True is it also that much
which passes current as patriotic is
more nearly related to bigotry and
prejudice. But occasions do arise when
all the hidden power of our devotion
is put the proof The test Of cour-
age and loyalty comes when the call
TO arms is heard; comes when the bat
tie is on. But a severer trial comes
to those who, in prison and SLOWLY
wasting with starvation, are offered
freedom if they will join the forces
of the enemy. He who prefers death
by starvation to dishonor and disloy-
atty is a greater hero than when he
merely fought on the battle field.
In maintaining fidelity to God it is
less difficult to stand firm under open
persecution and danger than to repeI
the insidious advances of proffered adj
vantage and worldly gain. It is a ia
tai mistake to barter integrity for any
other interest. The pressure is strong
and sometimes almost irresistible to
lower the standard of right and con-
sent to do something a little off color,
but customary and considered polite.
The young Christian who is more anx-
ious for entrance into the fashionable
society of the community than for the
loving regard of Jesus may win the
| coveted prize, but may awake to find
it worthless. Loyalty to convictions
once bartered or pawned can never be
recovered. Hold fast to that which
is good" 7if+ n9

THY NEIeHBoR AS THYsELF.

The Luther League topic for June 81
IS found in Matt xxi; $40; Rom.
xiii: $40. Religion is a communion of
persons. Viewed as to it's source we
define it as communion of man with
Cod: in it's practical manifestation we
call IT communion Of man with man.
III this communion love is the vital
force.
God loves man; man loves God. The
believer becomes like God and loves
that which God loves. True religion
combines love to God and love to man.
Where either is lacking we have an
imitation. The hatef of his brother
cannot love God; neither can he ignore
God and love his neighbor. Love in
communion with God and through faith
in Christ and in communion with man
in service for Christ is the sum total
OF Christian life Love is active 1t
lives in service, breathes forth in sacri-
lice Religion is action, not theory.
The lawyer who came to Christ
thought religion a theory. He loved
to speculate. Which is the greatest
commandment? Who is my neighbor ?
These were interesting problems to
him and nothing more. The Samari-
tan of Jesus parable had a different
view of religion. Though priest and
Levite had passed by, he' gave prompt
assistance. Love never argues. Love
saw a fellow man in need and was
ready to help. Love never argues.
A new commandment was given to
the world from the mount, Love your
enemies" A startling thought to the
Jew. who loved only the son Of Abra9
ham, to the heather, who knew only
tho love of self. A new commandment
to us, to our times, engrossed in the
marerial world conferred In self. Self
islress Is the great sin-love, the great
Write. Love asks not who is nv
nclghbor, it recognizes brother in
every child of need.
love needs no wide sphere It can
work in unknown corners as well as
un:ier the gaze of men. - 80 "''

RIGHT USE OF THE SWORD.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
June 81 is found in Eph. vi, IT; Heb.
iv., II. 10; II. Tim. H., Is. The lesson
is devoted to the question of learning
how to use our sword.
Warfare is both offensive and de-
fensive. The soldier must learn to
make aggressive warfare and also how
to defend and guard himself Defensive
warfare was more prevalent in the
past than today The weapons of Of
tense were such that it was possible
for men by extensive armors to pro-
tect and defend themselves. But no
ar1nor can withstand the modern wea-
pons Of warfare, and hence little at
tention in recent times has been paid
to this important phase of ancient mil
itary life.

armor in the 9Th chapter Of Ephe-

tense and but one Of offense The de-
