Decision Day, April 80, 1905.

The Maryland Sunday School Union
invites all Sunday schools in Mary

1t is not intended that the matter

half of their scholars, and earnest APP
peals during the lesson hour, and in
personal interviews at their homes
and elsewhere, to give themselves to

across the field. Many times they approached the
Yellow Jackets stronghold, only to be swerved
in some other by wel-directed lance thrust.
But such work easy-too easy. What is
formidable to one species of soldier may be the
1nerest pastime to another Colonel Valor, by him
self, took charge of the worst brute that ever had
been turned into the field, a vicious bull whose
voice kept the air filled with rumblings and whose
hoos tore up the sod in wild bursts of rage; but it
required only occasional lance thrust in the nose
to keep the brute from doing harm. Indeed, the
work scarcely sufficient for amusement and
more than when the tail of the maddened
animal was pointing toward the stronghold, Colonel
Valor made a swift sally against menace
which had come down from above or dug up from
below, or had penetrated the Gordon of scouts.
Along in the afternoon however when the
shadows had heightened far to the eastward
to cause the distant abOrers to start toward
home, there sWOoped down on them danger that
swift and real and terrible.
1t was Onl y little bee-martn; but to the Yellow
Jackets it was enemy thousand times their own
SIZE fierce ravenous terrible than wild bulls
or pillagng boys for it could fly swiftly they,
and the quick opening of its bill it rushed upon
them meant death in the most horrible form. A
soldier who could smile in the face of all other
before bee-martin.
Discretion in this case would have seemed the
better part of Valor even with the Colonel except
for thng-the bird was living straight toward
the stronghold Should it discover that with its
strong force of we-fed defenders, the savage gut-
tony of the bird would cause 1t to return again and

in the end the whole garrison would be
destroyed. The only escape would be to
divert the bee-nartin from his course before he
discovered the stronghold.
But such an undertaking seemed certain death
and Colonel Valor thought of assigning
any of his men to it, when he the spot him
self. AS he shot forward, straight toward the on
coming enemy, he noticed through the tail of his
eye that his following closely.
The bee-martin him ten feet away and with a
savage cry of eXultation flashed upon him. But
in the bill of death, it were, Colonel Vaor
did not lose his vigilance and presence of mind As
the bill opened for him, he swerved sharply and
then closed in with a swift unexpected turn and
thrust his lance deep into the enemy's head.
1t terrible wound directly behind the ear
and the martin staggered and fell trembling toward
the earth. Halfway there he recovered himself and
began to rise again. dizzily; but by that time the
other lancers were upon him with ready weapons.
The martin was not lacking in bravery; but the
punishment terrible and unexpected, and with
the second and third and fourth lance thrusts fol-
lowing each other in swift and relentless succession
he suddenly lost heart and whirled Historically
ward the western frontier, crying and moaning with
the intense pain. At the west line Lieutenant Zip

with few sharp reminders of his being

As Colonel Valor calmly flew back to his self-ap-
pointed task of looking out for the bull, dozen
more officers rushed up; but he motioned them aside

enough to dry the dew and dispel the ~
- night chill, the various leaders of
the Yellow Jacket stronghold issued forth with
their followers for the days duties. The labor
chief assigned his forces to their different fields
with the accuracy and despatch of experience,
some to making clover and mgnonette honey for
the Queen, others the indiscrimnate gathering
of cheap food for the common 1aborers while
corps of the more daring sought nerve-tonc honey
for the soldiers and scouts gathered exclusively
from thistles and nettes and thorns.
This morning Colonel Valor stood at the entrance
of the intrenchments and watched the labor
chief As the last of the workers swept through
the air toward their field of labor and the chief
followed with a click of his heels and military
salute Colonel Nalor turned to his 1ieutenants.
"Stabhard," he ordered, addressing a much
