Some Suggestive Questions on the
Sunday School Lesson For May 4
FoR. THE INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPER BIBLE STUDY CLUB.
copyright 1910 by S. D.. d.

, Verses 6-S.-What Is the only law OF
God that must be kept, without any
exception, by all men and angels?
What attitude should we always
take toward those who do things OF
which we cannot approve?
Did Jesus have any rights In regard
to Sabbath observance, not possessed
by other good men?
What did Jesus mean by saying he
was the Lord Of the Sabbath?
Is every good man lord OF the Sab
bath in the sense that he has a right
to keep it in any way that God may
direct him?
Verses 9-10-Is it legitimate to do
all kinds of good on the Sabbath day
or is there limit?
We say that these Pharisees were
jealous of Jesus and therefore sought
occasion to accuse him. Now what is
jealousy? What prompts it? What
are it's effects?
Verses 11-12.-What reason can you
give as to whether persons who are
compelled to work on the Sabbath, on
the rule Jesus here suggests, are un-
der obligation to rest some other day
"How much is man better than a
Sheep"
Jesus says ''it is lawful to do we'll
on the Sabbath day." but what reason
is there to believe that every man is
under obligation to actually do some
specific good on each Sabbath day?
Verse 13.-How can you demon.
strate that obedience to God always
results in supply of our needs?
Does God propose in these days that
our bodily diseases should be cured
mira culously. as in this case?,
Verse 14-Was it the goodness, or
the popularity of Jesus, or both,
which sinspired the hatred of these
Jews and does the same law operate
today?

! 1t was with deep and sincere reSfet
that Mrs. ". A. Patterson, mother OF
/ Mrs. w. T.. Wilkinson, heard Of the
death Of Mark Twain. Mrs. Patterson
was intimately acquainted with the
great writer. meeting him when he
was devil in printing Office at
Keokuk and during his life she had
entertained him many times. Samuel
Langhorne Clemens was almost rel
alive of Mrs. Patterson, his brother
the late Orion Clemens, of Keokuk
having married a cousin Of Mrs. Pat
terson's husband. In answer to the
question, Were you intimately &C.
quainted with Mark Twain?" Mrs Pat
terson in her own peculiar droll way
replied: 'Well, yes; I was well
enough acquainted for Sam to go
down into my cellar and open barrel
of apples. On this occasion he and
a sister and a niece Of ours. Miss
Ella Patterson, and Miss Ella Creel
had come over to spend the evening.
We were hospitable people in those
days, you know, and I was regretting
| the fact that / had no refreshments to
offer when I remembered the apples.

meeting with Mark Twain, as If It was
but yesterday" said Mrs. Patterson.
"We were visiting In the printing Of
flee Of Orion Clemens at Keokuk. This
was late in the flfties. After remain
ing in Keokuk for awhile Mark decid-
ed to go out to Nevada with his broth
err, who had been appointed first sec

crossing the prairies in stage coach
he wrote 'Roughing It. one of his
best known works. After being out in

"After finishing his lecture tour in
the Sandwich Islands he returned to
San Francisco and commenced deliv-
ering lectures. On all of his
bills, advertising his talks. he
would have printed Lecture begins at
8 o'clock sharp and this was the be-
ginning of this popular phrase Then
he came back to Keokuk and deliver
ed a lecture in the old Chatham
Square Methodist Episcopal church.
The lecture was largely attended, but
did not attract much attention, and
did not please those who heard him.
as he used too many personalities.
after visiting in Keokuk for few
weeks Mark continued his trip to New
York, where he joined the Quaker
City excursion to the Holy Land. It
was on this trip that he collected the
material for his Innocents Abroad
his first big literary work, or rather,
the book which introduced him to the
literary world. He also made the ac-
auaintance on this trip of his wife,
Miss Olivia Langdon of Elmira, New
York, to whom he was married in
1870.
''The last time saw Mark Twain
was in the eighties, when he visited
his mother and brother at Keokuk.
He was accompanied by his wife and
three daughters, Susie, Clara and
Jean. He was the center Of many
social affairs, my husband and myself

With the great principles of the or
der being put into practical use in the
every day affairs OF men and women,
there is no great surprise felt at the
remarkable growth that is being
made in the order not only in this
state, but in every state inTthe union.
This week will be holiday week
for the order, as the anniversary will
be held on various days, on account of
the grand officers endeavoring to be
present at as many places as possible.
Des Moines Will be the center for the
gathering in the central part Of the
state and the city is prepared to en-
terrain thousands of the members.
The four presiding officers of the va
rious branches will be present and
take part in the large program pre-.
pared for the day.
If the various lodges of the state
do not attend the gatherings In the
larger cities, each lodge will hold ar
propriate services of Its own, and the
celebration this year will go down d
lodge history as memorable one.
Thus for one day at last. the PEG.
pie of the state of Iowa will have q
chance to see and mingle with those
who follow the teachings and pre-
cepts embodied in the great princt-
Mes Of Friends nip, Love &Ad Truth.

On April 26, 1919, Washington
Lodge No. 1, was instituted In the
city Of Baltimore, Maryland, by Thos.
Wildey, John WEIGH, Richard Rush
worth, John Duncan and John Chea-
than. Founded upon the sacred
principles of fraternity and fellow
ship among men, it has exemplified
the beautiful teachings of the Golden
Rule through all its existence and at
it's ninety-first birthday it is recog-
nized by every high minded man and
woman as one of the greatest organi-
cations for the upbuilding and bind
ing together of the human race. Hon
ored and loved by all, who have,
through it's mystic rights, become IA

upon with favor by those who have

the fraternal affairs of the state. The
quiet way in which the work of allevi-
ating The sufferings Of it's members is
noticed and com mented on by those
who are outside the order and this in
a measure, is responsible for the
great mem bersh.p to which it has at.

~ Hardly a hamlet,1or village but
what can boast of it's local lodge and
in many places of few inhabitants
there, are maintained all four
branches of the order, each doing it's
duty, and all uniting in the great
cause of humanity.
The orphans home is under the di-
rection and care of the Rebekahs and
the immediate control of the institu-
ton. is by board of trustees who re-
port semi-annually to the order. An
excellent course of instruction is
maintained and several musical or

fame and prominence.
