trated recently by one who wrote Of an
incident in humble life:
THE laundress had just finished load
ing the line in the back yard with the
scrubbed into spotlessness. Then some
how the line slipped and sagged and the
clothes dragged on the ground.
THE mistress of the home ran out 70
see the extent OF the catastrophe. Desir-
ing to show sympathy. she said to the
laundress:
That's too bad. It's aggravating,
isn't it,?
The washerwoman stoically compress
er her lips, then answered deliberately:
~ amt aggravated yit.
THE mistress had known enough Of the
vexat tons of life to appreciate the signifi-
canoe of patience. She said admlringlN:
We'll. If that sort of an accident
| doesn't provoke You you are certainly
| good woman
But the simple-hearted laundress
would not consent TO hear praises of her
| self for any virtue she had achieved.
| Slowly and emphatically she answered:
:. You forgit who L am. I'm a prayin'
soud. I'm a soldier of Christ
The mistress of the house confessed
to herself that she had received a singu-
! larry effective lesson in the application
of religion to the commonplaces of life.

the learning of the Egyptians and
therefore familiar with their cherished
as well their outworn beliefs. and in
the books of Moses many such beliefs
are alluded to and their influence shown,
especially in Exodus and Leviticus
Among such beliefs entertained not
only In Egypt, but very generally else
where, was the idea that the bones are
necessary to the immortal as well as in
this mortal life. on the ground that the
soul resided in the marrow of the bones,
rather than in the heart. brain or other
portion Of the body. To a people unfa-
miliar with the now commonly known
facts of physiology this notion was nat
ural, since the bones are the most du-
rable parts of the body, and with care can
be preserved almost indefinitely. So, ef-
fort was made to keep them with most
sacred care. for the sake of the returning
spirit, which would need them again.
This belief led TO embalming or mummi-
flcation, and to the custom of depositing
the dead in ossuaries. such as urns,
tombs and pyramids. which were made
of stone because of It's durability. This
is quite in keeping with the medieval and
later custom of preserving the heart, as
was done in the case of Bruce. Shelley
and many others. While all portions of
the body. the hair and even nail pairings
were sacred, and further, even Il mans
shadow was supposed to partake of his
personality and powers. yet the bones, for
the reasons given, have always received
the greatest attention and respect. A
curious superstition that the bones of
murdered man long buried will bleed in
the presence Of the murderer was very
common In Europe during the middle ages
and still survives in some countries. To
grind mans bones to powder" was
not only a great insult. but 1t was, so to
speak. an immortal injury to the dead,
mutilating him In his future life.
That this belief in the sanctity Of the
bones influenced the earlier Hebrews
during their long sojourn in Egypt is in
no of Of OF out
the final disposition Of his remains. His

land. Eye shall carry my bones from

concerning his bones"
Later. this belief appears in the Old
Testament. not as a vital part Of the
Jewish religion. but largely as q rhetor-
| ical survival. There are many such al
| lusions. mainly fgurative, but few Of
them can be explained except on the sup
position that vestiges of the original be-
| lief as held in Egypt remained in the
Jewish faith. The following passages,
| for instance, indicate more than physio-
logical symptoms or rhetorical usage: "a
| broken spirit drieth up the bones; and
| This bones are full of the sins OF his
youth. which shall lie down with him In

Specific Covenant.

Surely, God will make allowance for
me If / obey Him in most things" So
some people try to persuade themselves.
when they know they desire to repeat
the disobedience. instead of repenting 1t.
The folly of the thought is apparent
when one thinks Of child who will act
on a similar idea in the home, obeying
father and mother in nearly everything.
but deliberately making up his mind to
disobey in certain other matters. That
child needs training and discipline. God $
children need discipline when they think
they can be excused for sighting a single
one Of His commands. 1t Is the definite
effort after perfect obedience that God
asks. God told Israel, Thou shalt not
make unto thee any craven image
Many in Israel seemed to think that they
could safely forget the word any In
that commandment. They learned their
mistake. Must people learn In the same
bitter way the necessity OF complete
obedience?
God does not expect too much OF peo-
pie. He expects only what they can do.
Jesus told Of an Improbable servant who
gave as an excuse for his neglect Of duty
that he believed his master to be hard
and unjust. Many people have the same
mistaken idea Of God. Long centuries
before the day OF Christ one of the
prophets told the people how simple are
Gods requirements. What doth the
Lord require of thee but to do justly.
and to love mercy, and to walk humbiy
with thy God?' Does that sound harsh?

Primitive religion in any land and in
any age. centuries ago or now. has al
ways been little more than a "a rag.
bone and hank OF hair"-a vampire
which sucked the blood from very heart,
leaving it without hope worthy the name,
and a prey to a thousnd imaginary foes.
Systematic observation and Interpretation
OF the facts and courses Of nature was
unknown for countless centuries. and
during those centuries man faced the
lent spirits. rather than the light with its
religion OF love TO support: strengthen
and console He was horribly afraid
OF everything he saw, and still
more afraid of the creations OF his
own fearful imagination. Instead of be-
neving that 'all things work together for
good" he believed that all things. seen
and unseen, were in a conspiracy against
his body and soul And SO he contended
with nature while he lived. and his friends
did their utmost to aid him In contending
with nature after he was dead. This per-
petual strife is pathetically evident In the
religion Of the unbroken bones-a primitive
faith that brings US to the cross OF
Christ.
The narrative Of the crucifixfon OF the
three victims on Calvary states that the
priests were unwilling TO have their Sab
bath profaned by the presence of the
dead hanging on their crosses. and there
fore asked PLATE to give orders that their
bones might be broken in order to hasten
death and burial. Their request was COM

q ONE years ago a man wrote a
S book to which he gave the title.
- Fifty Years Of Failure" In it
he told the story OF his own life. He
had a good home. q fine education and
some property. The best things in the
country were open to him. Some of his
friends who had not nearly so good an
opportunity succeeded brilliantly. But he
failed. When he came to the end Of
his life he had nothing worth while to
look back upon. He had sought his own
comfort instead of the welfare of others:
he had thought only Of getting along each
day with the least possible friction. No
wonder he failed. Some of the kings of
Judah and Israel failed just as dismally.
Years were spent by them in useless
idleness or in sin that led others into
sin. The warning spoken by their lives
should be taken to heart by US. God ex-
poets US to make the most of life. So
we are told in the Sunday school lesson
for today.

Beginning Today.

The time to begin the life God wants
you to live is now. The promise OF
what will be done tomorrow is worthless
unless there is action today in keeping
with the pledge for tomorrow. The mes
sage given by Nixon Waterman is needed:
We shall do much in the year TO come,
But what have done today:
We shall give our gold In a prncely sum,
But what did give today
We shall left the heart and dry the tear,
We shall plant hope in the place Of fear.
We shall speak the words OF love and cheer,
But what did we speak todayf
We shall be 20 kind In the afterwhile
But what have been today.
We shall bring 10 each lonely life a smile,
But what have we brought today7
We shall give to truth a grander birth,
And to steadfast faith a deeper worth.
We shall feed the hungering souls Of earth:
But whom have we fed today?
We shall reap such joys In the by and By,
But what have sown today2
We shall build rs mansions In the sky.

Some of the accounts of the resurrec-

recognize Him at first sight. Mary be-
lieved Him to be the gardener: the two
on the Emmaus road knew Him not; Yet.
when He spoke, Mary rejoiced. the En-
maus two were joyful. and the disciples
were glad when they saw the Lo-d.

the brightest foregleams of our hope.
Death had not destroyed Him, neither
had it submerged His memory ot the
past in the conditions of tn new lie,
nor had it weakened His love for His
