May 26, Childhood and Education of
Moses. Exodus 2: lis.
We take up tor our lesson study
this week one of the most remarkable
characters in the history of the world.
Moses the great law giver of Isreal.
If one denies the supernatural in the
make up of the bible. then the man
Moses indeed springs to position
second to none. in his wisdom. fore
sight and knowledge of the govern
ment of men. He lived in an age and
among surroundings which would not
fit him naturally for a teacher of
morals. On the other hand he had the
learning from worldly point of view
which does not make it ridiculous for
him to act as leader and governor.
| 1t is proper that the Sunday schools
world should devote one Sabbath of
the year to study of the childhood
and education of this most important
man of Bible history. He was the
son of Jewish parents. of tribe
which in after years was chosen to
furnish the priests and religious teach
ers for the entire people of the Isreal.
itish faith. Moses was beautiful
child and his mother determined to
try to save his life from the cruel
decree Of the Egypti-n ruler that all
the male children born of the enslav
ed Jewish people should be killed.
She hid him for time and later made
a little boat and placing her babe il.
secreted it among the tall flags grow
ing on the banks of the Nile or one
of it's tributaries. He was found by
the daughter of the ruler. and she
being pleased with his appearance
decided to adopt him for her own

no longer in danger. The record
shows that his natural mother became
his nurse in his babyhood and probab-
ly his teacher in early youth. He
grew up however possessing all the
advantages of education. which would
come to an Egyptian prince. 1t is
told in Acts Z 90 that he was learned
in all the wisdom of the Egyptians
and was mighty in word and deed.
He thus had brilliant career before
him as an Egyptian.
There was a time however when
he came to decide whether he would
give his life to be an idoltaorous
Egyptian and live a life of ease and
pomp. or identify himself with the
despised and enslaved lsrealites. Here
came the test of his character. Moses
chose the line of duty and put away
the glitter of the life of an Egyptian,
refusing to be called the son of Phar
oah' daughters choosing rather to
suffer affection with the people of
God, than to enjoy the pleasure of sin
for seasons. st. Paul in Hebrews
IL: 1921 calls this decision s'faith'
and says that Moses esteemed the re-
proach of being a Jew greater riches
than the treasurers of Egypt, as he
endured as seeing Him who is in
visible.
To endure as seeing the invisible.
to have faith to act without having
the actual demonstration before the
natural eye. is what marks the true
follower of God. Each one of US
can look back on times when we
came to place and must decide be-
tween pleasure and the dictate of
stern duty. Happy are we. if we are
willing to endure suffering. for a
season. that a true great reward
may come.

VERSE WORTH READING.
A Woman,s Way.

Her lovers adored her. they asked and
implored her
To give them look or a smile:
Like little dogs trotted to tasks she
allotted
And begging for notice the while.
They fetched and they carried they
lodged and they parted
When snubs for reward did she give;
They took IL all meekly, gave In to her
weakly,
Just asking. permission to live.
Their worship she secuted. their love
lightly houted,
And treated them all with disdain;
She met VOWS with laughing, hearts
anguish with chatting
And took as just tribute their pain.
That they did adore her, the more
seemed to bore her,
She said they were idiots all,
So little she priced them that she soon
despised them
For being the slaves OF her thrail
At last came wooer who scorned to
pursue her;
He ordered her just at his will.
Asserted his power. said he would "al-
low" her
His need of affection to fill.
They stared in amazement to see her
abasement,
For meekly she gave him his way.
Just followed the faster when he would
be master,
And promiscd-with joy-to "obey."

TO SAVE eARkER's LIFE.
Application to Be Made to- Determine
Sanity of Prisoner.

0dnIty OF FTtSOUCTs
Lincoln-Judge Hamer of Kearney
will soon make an application to the
district court of Lancaster county for
jury trial to determine the sanity
derer, whose reprieve exprise June
Is. Governor Sheldon has refused to
extend the reprieve and has left the
state to be gone till June IS. The
law provides that if the warden Of the
penitentiary believes that prisoner
condemned to death is insane he may
apply to the district court for trial
of the question and if the jury finds
the man insane the death sentence
shall not be imposed. Warden Bee
mer said on Thursday that he would
not make this application. Judge
Hamer had conference with him and
received no satisfaction. Judge Ham
er will therefore act on his own mo-
ton and make the application, setting
up that Barker is insane. The war
den said nearly two years ago that he
believed Barker was insane, but he
refused to sign a sworn statemeptato
that effect, and. Hamer made an appli-
cation, alleging that the warden was
prevented from DOING so by Governor
Mickey. 1t is understood thas- Ward
en- Peemer has been instructed by his
superiors to make the application if
he believes Barker insane. This will
make different state OF facts which
Hamer will have to confront when he
goes into court in his efforts to save
Barkers life. Acting Governor Hope
well may be drawn into the case dur
ing Governor Sheldon's absence.

The president, who had been cramped
i'm a car all day, set a pretty lively
pace for the lengthy vice president,
and before they had gone much more
than a mile Mr.. Fairbanks was hot,
thirsty, and gasping.
Just about then the farmhouse of
Frank Thomas hove in sight, and the
president set out for 1t across country.
Thomas was working on haystack,
but he threw down his rake mighty
quick when the president introduced
himself. Could the vice president and
himself have glass of milk? Thorn
as is q Republican. They could have
all the milk and everything else in
the farmhouse After they had one
glass of the farmers buttermilk the
president prowled out into the yard,
where the children of the farmer were
playing ball. The boys were scared
white when they knew who 1t was
who wanted to take. a hand in the
game.
From Franks the president and
Mr.. Fairbanks went over to the farm
house OF David Thomas, where he
asked Mrs. Thomas how many chill
dren she had.
Eight the woman modestly re-
piled.
"Ah," he exclaimed, when return
to Washington shall have to tell
Mrs. Roosevelt that 1 have found one
woman who has larger family than
hers"
The president then dropped in to
visit Mrs. Rose Hansen who could
not speak English, and he had to talk
German.
Then he dropped in on John Wuch-
ter. That proud old farmer said that
IL he had only known that Mr.. Roose-
welt was coming he would have had
Mrs. Wuchter prepare a spring chick
en- supper. The president said he was
mighty sorry to miss that.

The Retort.

Old Birch, who taught the village school,
Welded a maid of homespun habit;
He was as stubborn as a mule,
And she as playful as a rabbit
Poor Kate had scarce become a wife,
Before her husband sought to make her
The pink of country polished life,
And prim and formal as a Quaker.
One day the tutor went abroad,
And simple Kate sadly missed him,
When he returned, behind her lord
She shyly stole. and fondly kissed him,
The husbands anger rose, and red
And white his face alternate grew;
LESS freedom. ma'am!" Kate sighed.

Lahorers in Demand.

Herman-The scarcity of labor at
this place is something surprising. If
there is a tramp hits town the farmer
is right on his trail. .ThSre are doz-
ems of farmers who want hands, and
want them bad, but are unable to get
anyone who is willing to work. The
crowell company had car of coal to
unload, and the car has been on the
sidetrack for four days and they were
unable to get anyone to touch it un-
til that time, when they got about
half a dozen small boys to work at it.
Two tramps started the job, but
worked the manager for their supper
and skipped.

A Child's Laughter.

One thing yet there is that none
Hearing ere its chime be done
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun,
Hoped in heaven hereafter;
Soft and strong and loud and light,
Very sound of very light
Heard from mornings rosiest hight
When the soul of all delight
Fills a child's clear laughter.
Golden bells of welcome rolled
Never forth such notes nor told
Hours SO bnthe in tones SO bold
AS the radiant mouth of gold
Here that rings forth heaven.
If the golden crested wren
Were a nightingale, why, then
Something seen and heard of men
Might be half as sweet as when
Laughs a. child of seven.
