As the Boy Saw the Lesson.


Prof. Charles Zeublin of the Univer-

dinner the greatest paintings OF the
world.
"The legends that are beautiful and
immortal" he said, have in them

kind, take home. This is true In
likeness of immortal works of art

people they have different messages,
For instance, in my native Pendleton
some OF the mothers used to cut the
children's hair. They did it with
shears and a bowl. The operation
was often painful, and the result was
never elegant.

she turned to a little boy:

THE STORY.

ATO HAPPIER or more comfortable
lv home was to be found in all Nine
web than that of Tobias and his wife
Sara. To them six sons had been
born, and the aged father Tobit had
laid his hand of blessing upon each
head, and had been permitted to see
each boy well started on the road to
manhood. The aged Anna was living,
too, and no more contented and peace
full family circle could be found than
was made up of this aged and godly
man Tobit, his wife, their son Tobias,
his wife Sara, and their six sons.
Many was the time that the old
man al back in memory to the day
years before when with tears stream
ing from the eyes which saw naught
he had babe farewell to his son as
he had started off on that long jour
ney after the wealth he had left in
Media. How good the years had been
since then. At that time he had
never expected to live to embrace his
son again, and now, 10 and behold,
with recovered sight he had seen his
son established in his own home and
grandchildren about his knee. Those
had been prosperous years. The good
Iy portion of wealth with which To-
bias had returned to the city and had
placed in his fathers hands had null
tiplied abundantly, and not only had
distress, but had accumulated a COM
Portable competence, sc that Tobit and
his son Tobias were among those of
the city of Nineveh possessed of
wealth.
But the great prosperity of the later
years had not turned the heart of ia
Their or son away from the God of Is
rael, and Tobit, the father, found new
and fresh delight in going over and
over the parchments of the sacred
writings which he had in his posses
sion, for he was a man of learning
and could read and write like a
scribe.

after he had called Tobias to his
side, "the day approaches when 1
shall depart, for / am very old. larry
not in Nfneveh, for the day approach

SERMONETTE

"And now, my son, depart out
of Nineveh, because that those
things which the prophet Jonah
spake shall surely come to
pass"
Gods words never fail.
As man counts time there
seems an endless period be-
tween prophecy snd fuIfilIment,
but at last the Judgment falls
and Scripture is fulfilled.
Here we find a devout Jew
of Nineveh certain of a great
city's doom because hundreds
and hundreds of years before
Gods prophet had declared that
ultimately the city should be
destroyed.
All around him was gayety
and life, a great city, with mas
sive walls and strong ruler.
Could such place meet destruc-
tion?
Such might have been the
question which reasonably could
have arisen in Tobit's heart.
But when il came to a choice
between what appeared to his
outward vision and the express
declaration of Gods word, he
believed God, even though he
could not understand or tell
how those things were to come
to pass.
1t was the old story of Noah
and the flood. No sign of the
approaching deIuge, but God
said it would come and it did.
But even though Noah preached
a hundred years to warn the
people of the judgment of God,
they turned a deaf ear to the
prophets words and-perished
in the flood.
So probably Tobit sought to
warn at least the people of his
own race in Nineveh, but just
as there were many Jews in Je-
rusaiem who needed not the
warning to flee and persisted
m%iserabIy In the doomed city, SO
in Nineveh many persisted who
might, like Tobias and his fam
lily, have found safe refuge in
another place.
What lesson for US? This,
surely: That just as the
warning of God Vas spoken to
the doomed city of Nineveh, SO
God is speaking his warnings to
the souls of men to-day. They
may trifie with this word, but 1t
cannot delay OF prevent the final
f%uIfiIIment. The few will heed
the warning. The many will re-
main in their present condition
and perish.

oomestible was put in q rough, OBJ

er bought a ticket for himself and the
box. and entered the train. At the
first stop he went ahead to the bag

trouble. He stood by the box in a
disconsolate attitude and shaded his
eyes with his hand. The baggageman
