Two great thoughts are here made plain.
/. The folly and futility of resistance
to God. How foolish was this sinful
king in the mad hour when. as God in
love and mercy, stopped to warn him OF
the evil of his ways. he added sin to
sin, and shame to shame, by trying to
destroy Gods written word. How foolish
have been those men and nations since

eNH1f HEN history shall gather up
D(DH for her imperishabe scroll the
names of those whose deeds
have given them claim to Immortality,
high up upon this roster of the great win
shine the names of those who never drew
the sword, whose conflict was a moral one,
God. but whose heroism was more noble
for the fact that while it taxed their
courage and their zeal as much or more
than mere display of force it brought
them nothing in return but the strong
trust that they had wrought for God.
In the story from which the main
current of our theme is drawn we see
such a hero as he stands in the very
midst of the conflict surrounded by foes,
grieving over his peoples sins and sor-
rows. Yet warning king and subject alike
of the danger and folly of their evil
course.
The story itself has in it all of the
majesty of a great tragedy, for it is the
recital of an incident in the lives Of two

They are sure that the king will hear and

Question Club.

1rERsEs 17-1s-In what sense did
W Jesus mean that the law was not
to be destroyed until all be full
filled?
What, il any, reason Is there to be-
lieve that Jesus did not mean that the
law OF Moses was to last forever?
How did Christ fulfill every "jot and
title" of the law of Moses. spiritual
moral political and ceremonial?
Verse 19-What was the final end, pur-
pose or object of the commandments of
Moses?
If a disciple of Christ at that time
had taught against the least of the Old
Testament commandments, what would
he have lost thereby?
If disciple of Christ now teaches
against the keeping of the ceremonial law
or the moral law as exempIifed by the
''eye for an eye" and the tooth for
a TOOTH" commandments of the Old Tes-
lament. how does God regard him?
Verse 2O-What did Christ mean by 'the
Righteousness of the scribes and Phari-
sees?'
If man does an outward good deed
for the sake of custom or policy or to he
seen of men that he would not do from
his own choice, how is his deed regarded
by God?
How would you characterize two men,
one whose motives are pure, but who
blunders in carrying them out, and one
whose motives are impure, but who acts
outwardly In faultless manner?
Does righteousness consist in motives
or in actions, and why?
Verses 21-2-The law of Moses, like
human law now. could only punish when
an outward crime had actually been COM
mitted. How does the law here given by
Jesus differ from that?
II a man secretly plans a murder and
lacks the opportunity of committing it he
Is innocent at law. Would you say that
he is just as guilty before God as IL he
had committed IL? Why?
Does Christ teach that wicked anger
or hatred is regarded by God as MUIR
der. and, IL not, what does he mean?
(See / John, $3.50
What does Jesus here mean by the vari-
GUS degrees OF punishment represented by

Cbrist's Supremacy.
Bp Keb. CHARLES 5telsle.

AINETEEN centuries ago Plate looked into the pale
~ face of a Gaean and asked: Art thou king,
~ then?'
Today there is ruler in the civilized world but
what would answer for Christ: Yea He is a king.
If any ruler should deliberately attempt to dishonor
Chrsts prohibit the homage which men unlver-
sally accord Him. there would be instant rebellion N his
domain Neither armies could suppress the
instruction which would inevitably follow such action
No legislator, in authority in any capacity
would dare put himself in open hostility to the rule OF
Christ.
To what must this marvellous power be attributed?

It is peculiar that Jesus appeals to men of all nations.
Moses was Hebrew, Socrates Athenlan, Confucius

But Jesus belongs much to the African as He does

to have been an Arabian. No matter what mans

the superlative of all his elegance.
Try, if possible, to produce the
real color scheme upon pale gray
linen. Gray is an atmospheric color
best suited for the background of
the bird. Too. it admits OF all
color schemes in oils or water
paints.
II you do not treat the card
board according TO above dircc-
tons. cut it smoothly, make no re-
cut, for that makes ragged edge.
Treat the cardboard with boiled
linseed applied with a brush, and
allow if to dry before using.
This stencil is appropriate for
the cushion-end only-and the
lower wings of the summer screen.
To Prepare Stencil.
Outline the design upon very
thin. glazed cardboard, easily bent,
or upon the back OF white table
oilcloth. A pair of sharp embroid-
cry scissors and a very sharp pen
knife will be needed to cut out the
designs. A round punch is helpful
to take out parts. After cutting
out all parts, coat the design with
hot paraffin and press with warm
iron if the design is on cardboard.
Treat only the back of the oilcloth.
A second application of wax makes
the pattern impervious to moisture.
Use stub brushes, slightly point
ed. To make stencil paints, use
ordinary dyes, desired colors, di-
luted with water or gasoline. Dip
the brush into the dye, pat out the
moisture on a folded cloth pad,
work the design from the center to
the extreme edge, being careful
not to allow the moisture to creep
under the design. Pin the pattern
to the fabric; keep the goods on a
pad of newspaper; work slowly.
Lift the pattern carefully. When
dry, press the goods on the wrong
side with warm iron.

only at the M. E Church south. He
had good congregation of attentive
listeners, and his discourse on the
manhood of Jesus Christ was indeed a

part of several. These union meet

will result to the religious side of the
community because of the messages he
has delivered.
