the Stora Teatern in Goteborg, and

MICROBES

ed that there are dangerous microbes
on door handles and that no one
should touch door without treating
his hand with an antiseptic wash.)
microbes everywhere, they say,
I'm every drop we drink,
Microbes in the telephone,
And microbes in the sink.
Microbes on the dollar bill
And on papa's mustache;
Microbes in the frying pan,
And microbes in the hash,
Microbes in the lovers kiss,
And microbes on the wall.
And baseball pitchers must beware
OF Microbes on the ball.
Microbes on dads spectacles
And microbes in the soup,
And microbes on the pillowslips,
And in the chicken coop.
It seems as if people nowadays
cannot eat or breathe or sleep without
some microbes hanging around The
common-sense way seems to be-to
do just what you like; pay no atten-
ton but let the psychologists go
ahead and talk.-Kenneth.

WHERE GERMANY BEATS US.
Citizens Protest, and Offensive Bill
boards Are Removed

The fight on ugly and offensive bill
boards is not unsuccessful in this coun-
try, in spite Of technicalities and mis-
applied or too strictly construed legal
limitations. But ones mouth waters
while reading Of the remarkable prog
ress of the same cause in Germany.
DEGREES have gone forth ordering the
removal or destruction Of advertising
signs along the railway rights of way
as well as on walls and roofs of
houses. The amenity Of the landscape
is to be conserved or restored, and
commerce is to acknowledge the rights
of the higher nature.
Curiously enough. the general order
against unsiShtly and ugly forms Of
street and field advertising is due
chiefly to movement among business
men and ordinary citizens. Crowded
meetings of protest had been held and
resolutions against the billboard abuse
had been adopted In many places.

A SUMNER QUESTION.
Where Can People Of Small Communi-

The summer season. with its long
days of almost unbearable heat. is
here, and the desire of those who are
cooped up within the four walls in Of
fee and store work to get out in the
open at least one day in the week is
intense. In the big cities parks, where
all manner of amusement is planned
to entertain people and take away the
worries of the preceding six days. are
plenty. The result Is man goes back
to his work Monday morning feeling
greatly refreshed and benefited from
his Sunday outing. OF course the rich
can leave their business in the hands
of subordinates and go to the resorts
for the heated term.
But the problem remains vet to be
solved of affording this needed recrea-
ton for the people who work in stores
and offices in the smaller towns. They
cannot all go to the larger places for
this recreation. Few. If any. can af-
ford to go to the mountains for even
few days recreation and rest. Then
what can he done to provide this one
day outing in the week for the people
in the smaller places?

PROSPERITY IN DIVINE FAVOR

Jehosaphat' kingdom prospered.
He fortified it's various boundaries,
especially toward the land of Israel,
Judah's nearest neighbor. Neigh
boring smaller nations sought
Judah's favor end for it paid tribute
and presents until Jephsaphat's
kingdom was very prosperous.
Thus fidelity to the Lord was re-
warded with prosperity. If some
from this are trying to draw the
lesson that all prosperous persons
and nations are honorable, right
eous and in Divine fellowship, they
surely err. Those also err who
claim that adversely, poverty, sick
ness are sure evidences of Divine
disfavor and 81 full life.
Not only should we remember
that the bad kings, Omri and Ahab,
were prosperous but we remember
also that many wicked nations and
ubiquitous customs have prospered
and are prospecting to-day. Pros
perity, therefore, is not always
sign of Divine favor. To Jehosha-
plat and his kingdom however
prosperity was a sign of favor be-
cause Judah still rep resented Gods
chosen nation in a special man
ner. According to Gods Covenant
with them they would be blessed
in proportion as they maintained
their loyalty to their agreement
their loyalty to God.
But this promise or Covenant was
not made with mankind in general,
but merely with the one nation of
Israel, which, at the time of our
study, was specially represented by
the Kingdom of Judah. If we
would see that rig hteousness does
not always bring peace and worldly
prosperity, we have only to look at
the master himself and at his most
faithful followers to see the con-
trary. Moreover this is the Mas
