There is still one more lesson which
we should learn from this swift chart
oteer. When God called Jehu to the
Israelitish throne, God anointed him
king of Israel by the hand of hum
bic man. He did not call Jehu to be
the king of the Hebrew people, as Saul
on the Damascus road was summoned
to the apostleship by a divine voice
from the clouds. Jehu never talked
with God face to face, as Moses talked
with him. Jehu was called to his great
est opportunity of life by the anoint-
ing hand of a common man. Thus God
has called us in the past to our high
est thrones of spiritual life by the
amounting hand of a mother father. a
humble village minister, a wife or
child.
My brother, are you willing to let
the amounting hand of dear Christian
loved one of the past lead you today

The sinful life Of Jehu as a fulallel

cate in the lives of many sinful men

life Of Thomas Paine. Most Of the

Thomas Paine except as a blasphemer

book, "The Age of Reason" which has

(The romantic elopement and
marriage of Countess Wilma Feste-
tics with the Hungarian gypsy vio-
linist, Rudolph Nyari, has caused
sensation in European society
similar to the scandal of Princess
Chimay and Rlgo. The countess be-
longs to one of the very first of
Hungarian noble families. Her
father, Count Stephen, is one of
the wealthiest magnates in the
country. The countess mother was
a well known Vienese beauty who
attracted marked attention from the
