GAME OF DUMB INSTRUMENTS
One of Noisiest and JoIIiest of Pas
times-Continual Changing Causes
Much Merrment.

The favorite pastimes among the
for playing at the table. The Dumb
instruments" is one of the noisiest
and jolliest games. In a company of
any number each takes the name of
some different instrument, which he is
supposed to initiate both in sound and
gesture. The leader will take the
name of the drum, which is the most
important instrument; the first man
on his right will have the horn, the
second the cymbals, and so on.
After all have performed for a few
moments on the various imaginary in
struments the leader will say, Il pass
my drum now to Mr.. Ling" who may
be sitting on the other side of the
table. Thereupon Mr. Ling begins
beating the drum, and each of the
other players must Immediately
change his instrument so that the or
der from the drum shall remain the
same.
For instance. he who sits upon the
right of Mr.. Ling, who now has the
drum, must take the horn, the second
to the right the cymbals, and so on
around the circle, each instrument be-
ing the same number of spaces from
the drum as it is was before the
change. This continual changing Of
the drum from one person to another,
and the subsequent endeavors to re-
member what is the correct imaginary
instrument and play 1t properly, are
provocative of great merriment.

far more terrible. must have been the
mental and spiritual anguish of this
man living in fellowship with God, as
he watched his people rushing headlong
to destruction, knowing all the while that
his ministry could not save them, but
only be a testimony to Jehovah. God
always suffers in the presence of sin,
and its issue in the life Of his people. OF
course the final unveiling of this infinite
wonder of the Divine heart was granted
to men when in the act Of pronouncing
the final doom upon Jerusalem, the Son
of God did II in terms that thrilled with
tenderness, and in a voice choked with
emotion.
Side by side with this, and perhaps
more patent, is the revelation Of the cost
of disloyalty. This is brought out in the
case Of the individual as we observe
Zedekiah, noticing his weakness and his
vacillation, his perpetual seeking for
jeremiah, his restless fear OF his own
princes, and his constant disobedience to
the word which the prophet spoke to him.
Surely it is always difficult to disobey,
notwithstanding that 1t seems so easy.
The issue in the case Of this man was
appalling. Captured, he was compelled to
watch the staying Of his sons and his
mobiles; and then having fulfilled the
prediction Of jeremiah that he should
see the King Of Babylon face to face,
his eyes were put out; and being carried
to Babylon in his blindness, he fulfilled
the prediction of Ezekiel that he should
never see Babylon. although he died
there.
The cost Of national disloyalty Is OF
course the supreme matter. Judah, in
spite of the long patience Of Jehovah, and
in spite Of His warnings, directly by the
prophets, and experimentally In the his
tory of the northern kingdom, Is broken
and cast out.

may be, 1t is reported, a headquarters

The other plan to be brought forward
will be, it is said, the settlement one,
but owning no property. and aiming to
establish, not one great church but many
small ones. The argument is put for
ward, a somewhat novel one, that the
small church is more effective than the
big one. An adaptation of the Y. NJ.

on a small scale, is a part of the plan.
With it there can be provided churches

importance to missions at home and

PERTINENT POINTS IN
TO-MORROW'S LESSON
By Prof. J. e. McF.dyen, ID. d.

By Prof. J. e. McFadyen, ID. D.
Zedekiah is the type of vaciI-
lation. He never quite knows
his own mind. In his better
moments he ID drawn to Jere-
miah, In his worst he is swayed
by the courtfers; and when the
way In clear, he has not the
courage to walk upon II. He
could have saved himself and his
city by resolutely following the
advice of jeremiah; his weakness
cost him his eyesight, his liberty,
and his throne.
Jeremiah is the type of reso-
luton. His consistent and un-
faltering proclamation of his
message. undismayed by threats,
danger, and cruelty, forms q
striking foil to the vacillation of
Zedekiah. As we have already
seen, jeremiah was not naturally
cast in q heroic mold, he begins
by shrinking from his prophetic
task, and continually he has his
doubts and struggles. But he 10
faithful to the inward voice, he
allows himself to he mn astered by
the truth, and he becomes veri-
fably strong as q brasen wall
against all opposition and temp
tation, and when the awful doom
of the city In sealed, he h
marked out for special honor.
Ebed-melech In the type of
generous pity. II 10 touching to
see how this black mans heart
II moved to compassion by the
sorrowful plight of Jeremiah,
nothing better illustrates the
prophets utter loneliness than
this, that In the hour Of his dis
tress he was befriended not by
one of his own countrymen, but
by q negro. How Jeremiah's
heart must have gone out to this
stranger! And he, too. had his
reward In the prophets gratitude
and the divine protection.

Reasons why Disciples are especially
anxious to get into New York City in

Without blowing of trumpets, a new de-
parture has been made in our church's
history. 1t has been decided by the trus-
tees of the general clergy relief fund
that on October l. 1911, the treasurer of
the fund will distribute as a pension to
all clergymen who have reached the age
of sixty-four an equal share of the in
ments Of the fund.
Up to date the total amount of interest
to be distributed on the two sources of
income is only s4,64o.Ss, and, like the few
loaves and fishes, we may ask, What Is
that among so many? At least 500 of
the clergy will be entitled to a share Of
this s4,640.39. But 1t Is a beginnings be-
ginning of recognition of duty too long
delayed, and in this lies its historic inter-
est. 1t is an epoch in the church in
America.
