III ~ H
A village Of one thousand people was
constantly annoyed by an immense lion
that came at close intervals and killed
or wounded as many of the inhabitants
as it wished.
For scme reason general opinion
prevailer. that it would be wise to kill
the savage beast, but it was declded at
a public gathering OF the citizens that
something must be done to save the
persons hat were liable to fall into the
claws OF this beast. s.1
After a long discussion it was agreed
to capture the lion and civiGze him and
thereby make him more respectable.
This conclusion was counted happy
hit. So, In course of time, the beast
was captured and chained along the
main thoroughfare of the village, but
matters grew no better because the
beast still possessed that craving for
blood, and Notwithstanding his civil
lied surroundings many victims still
fell before his power.
Now there were among the villagers
some who advocated that it would be
the part of wisdom to kill the lion.
They went so far as to call for a public
vote and behold the majority voted to
give the lion lease Of life, so that no one
could destroy him according to law.
Sad to say the deadly work went on
as before. Bright young men ventured
near the lions paw. Some said, 81 can
fool with this lion or lot it alone"
Those who fooled with him went down
one by one and those who let him alone
passed On their way rejoicing. Some of
the fathers aud even mothers tried to
see how. near they could go to the lions
post, and Notwithstanding all the warn
lug that had been given, many sacrificed
themselves to the greed of the savage
beast.

A Mess of Stale Pottage

From The Epworth Herald
One of the representatives of a
great Western state in the United
States Senate was Sentenced to
prison a few months ago. He had
been adjudged guilty of using his
Office for illegitimate purpores. 1t
is mot necessary to go into de-
scription of his crimes. That
would be waste of time and
space. But it is worth while to
throw a sidelight upon the mans
character, if for no other reason
than to show what may become of
a man who surrenders the higher
motive for the lower.
This discredited United States
senator is reported to have said
some years ago: "To try to help
the common people is to sign your
political death warrant, and I am
not in the Jesus Christ business. :"
He went into politics. not to serve
the people, not with deep patri-
otic purpose, but with the deliber-
ate intention of serving his own
selfish interests. And he gave
himself up to the fulfllment of
his ignoble purpose. We heard q
man who was in the state legisla-
ture with him declare that this
dishonorable member could al
ways be counted upon to vote for
the side that paid the biggest
price. He was the tool of the lob
by. Corrupt men found a willing
conspirator in him. When he went
to the United States Senate he
looked with hungry eyes upon
this larger field for his corrupt
operations. But he was brought
to book, and now the prison doors
yawn impatiently for him.
What other outcome could one
expect? He was mot in the Jesus
Christ business" That was too
expensive. 1t made demand for
honor, integrity, honesty, and al.
the other virile virtues. He
thought he could not pay the
price. And so he went into the
devil business-and he was paid
IN the DEVILS coin. Perhaps there
are moments now, while he is try
ing SO desperately to keep out OF
prison, when he has the conviction
that he sold out his birthright fo1
mess Of worthless pottage.

@@@@@ Observation-Disclosures
a Modern Parable by W. R. Harris

1t soon hanpeued that the cry Of
many assembled and the citizens became
aroused and met once more in general
vocated publicly that the lion ought to
be killed and that it could easily be
accomplished if the majority of the peo-
pie would say SO. But these men were
declared to be insane and their teachings
were ignored. --,
"We must, however, do something" :"
urged the majority, and after much
careful deliberation it was decdsd to
tie liens chain to higher post. This
was soon done and to the sorrow of all
the community the same sad scenes we're
again witnessed. Many stood back and
saw the destruction Of a young man,
and seemed to be unconcerned about it,.
Later on it was decided to "regulate" +"
the beast. This theory was hailed with
JOY by most of the people, although no
one seemed to know what the word
"regulate" meant. A smart man ex
planned that if the regulation law went
into effect that no one would be allowed
to go near the lion on certain days, and
at certain other times no one would be
allowed to approach him after IL O'Clock
at midnight. The new law went into
effect with rush, and yet yith all thes G
regulations the old lion still had the
anne nature and still continued in his
deadly work. Next it was decided by
the citizens to tie the lion to a low post
but the nature of the beast was not
even affected by this act.
At this writing the lion is still active
and destroying more people than ever

Is Disease a Crime I?
