REVIEW
Sunday School Lesson Tor March n. 1910
Specially Arranged for This Paper

GOLDEN TExTS.-"Jesus went about
all Galilee, teaching In their synagogues.

and healing all manner OF sickness n
all manner Of disease among the people"

Suggestion and Practical Thought.
These two Golden Texts" express
the truth and suggest the methods Of
one, of the best and most interesting
Of Easter lessons.
For they teach us the most impor-
tant truths we need to know for our
life here and for our life forevermore:
That the Jesus who onco lived in
Palestine and did the works we have
been studying,
Showing the love OF God Tor man,
Teaching the eternal truths OF
heaven,
Expire sing in visible forms the low
ing kindness of our Heavenly Father,
Setting us q perfect example,
And giving his life that we should
not perish but have eternal life.
This same Jesus is really living to-
day as he was then on earth.
He is with US now as when he dwelt
In Galilee,
Is now inspiring the same life,
Teaching the anne truths,
Doing the same works,
Is our present King, Saviour, Helper,
Guide and Friend.
To realize these things will make a
blessed Easter day The teacher can
take up the lessons one by M with
his scholars and show that the Risen
Saviour is our present Saviour.
We are tempted. Jesus is touched
with the feeling of u infirmities"
since "he was tempted In all points
like as We are, yet without sim"
We study the laws of his kingdom,
and we know he who "as a Son learned
obedience by the things which he SUI.
fered," became, unto all them that
obey him, the author Of eternal saliva.
ton" "for he dwelleth with you, and
shall be in you"
The review Of Lessons w. to TX. will
bring these truths to mind.
We have been studying his good
deeds to the bodies and souls Of men.
Jesus the living Saviour, is continually
here and nov fulfilling his promise,
He that believeth on me, the works
that I do shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do; because
! go to the Father"
Lessons x. to XII. show what these
works are.

BEGIN THE YEAR WITH CHRIST
No Period Can Be Happy or Beautiful
Where the Lord Is Left
Out.

Ono reason why life is SO serious
Is because we must give account OF
1t all. Jesus limited at the large mean
ing Of this truth when he said that
for every idle word that men speak
they must give account. II for the
idle w~ords-light, trivial, empty words
how much more for the words which
are filled with bitterness, or with
malice, or with the evil of falsehood,
of envy, of irreverence! We are not
done with life as we live It; we shall
meet it all again.
These things being true, how should
we enter upon the new year? For
n thing, we should begin It with
Christ. Who is sufficient for the seri.
GUS problems Of living without the d.
vine grace and help? There is no 9th.
err hand that can guide us safely
through the new and strange expert
ences.
Another suggestion for a prosperous
new year is that we should fill its
every hour with duty well done. Duty
Is a large word. 1t includes all that
we owe to God-honor, love, obedi.
ence, faithfulness. 1t includes all that
we to men. No year can be hap.
by or beautiful with God left out.
The only way to have a year at its
close stainless and beautiful. is to
keep the days. as they pass, all pure
and lovely with the loneliness of holy,
useful living. It is in little days that
our years come to us. and we have
but the one small fragment to fill and
beautify at a time. God never gives
us years, or even weeks. He gives us
only days. II we live each day we'll,
all our life will, In the end. be radiant
and beautiful.-Rev. J. r. Miller, d. d.

our own country, where they erected
many missions to spread the teach
ings of Christianity. The influence of
the cross so entirely filled the minds
of its followers that it became the cen
ter subject of the paintings Of the old
masters and in time permeated not
only the spirit Of this art, but also
that of architecture, for We find
throughout the great Christian archi-
lecture Of the Middle Ages and in all
forms of medieval decoration this
sign Of the cross standing out conspic-
uously. The very foundations of the
edifices which were erected in COM
memoration Of faith in this symbol fol-
lowed the lines of a cross, so that the
very walls from their foundations up
ward might carry with them as they
rose the image of the sacred sign. to
receive its browning figure displayed
in the ridge line of its roofs. Crosses,
In an endless variety of forms, still
surmount the loftiest and finest parts
of the architecture of the cathedrals
and churches of Europe. Above the
tombs Of the departed or even in the
pavements OF the church above the
monumental vaults in these cathedrals
this same sign proclaims the faith Of
those who rest beneath.
Being the keynote and the glory"
OF the Christian religion this emblem
soon became priced in other directions
besides those ecclesiastic. With the
triumph of Christianity the cross at
once was recognized as a universal
symbol OF highest nobility and honor.
It was row considered to add dignity
10 the crowns and scepters of emper.
ors. and princes. 1t became the proud
est ensign of knightly rank. The
greatest warriors were proud to see the
cross on the hits OF their swords as
well as IN the banners under which
they fought. 1t also became O. sign OF
merit for valor and bravery-a reward
for deeds OF honor. as the iron cross
OF Prussia established by william III,
for patriotic bravery In war.
1t was worn also as a protection In
times Of trouble. To denote the con
secration of those devoted to the aid
of the suffering and needy; the Red
Cross was the confederation OF socie
ties in different countries for the bet

Grow Your Own Crimson Glover
Seed.
Messrs. Editors: have been
growing crimson clover for several
years on a small scale. Have saved
some seed of my own growing, but
few this year. 1 give it as my opin-
ion that this. Walker County, would
be a garden spot for raising the seed.
l never saw such a crop of seeds
of anything. 1 believe by early SOW
ing, say any time in September "a
great many fail by sowing so late),
and by leaving the land perfectly
smooth and level we can successfully
grow all the clover seed we want,
and to spare. as soon as the land has
seed will come up quickly IL sown
on freshly prepared soils. BY all
means don't pick dry time to SOW.
After screening, the seed should be
narrowed in; then run roller over
to pack the ground which will leave
in good shape for cutting.
Some one suggests sowing peas
to protect clover from hot sun. I
believe it would be great idea. Say
a peck, not over half bushel per
acre, and leave the entire crop on
the land,-the vines at least, as they
would give some protection in win.

Now let's all try our hand on at least
