Any exceptional behavior. il it assumes
the form OF a habit. should be regarded
in the light OF a symptom. A child who
has habits of twitching, struggling. sigh
ing, chirping; one who is notably absent
minded, who never answers without first
repeating ones question. should be ex-
amined for nervous disorder which will
certainly grow worse unless checked. The
child whose egotism is excessive, whose
stubbornness or willfulness is of an exag-
gerated type, should be carefully watch-
J ed for other symptoms OF hysteria.

always been two schools of thought
among historians, one school holding to
the idea that Great men develop
great events" the other teaching that
Great events develop great men," No
matter to which school of historic
thought we may belong. this one truth
is apparent, no great event sever hap
pened in the affairs of men that God
has not provided some great man. who
rose from among his fellows to assume
their leadership. with such a display
of wisdom and unselfish zeal. such an
ability to grasp and power to solve
the problems of the hour that can
only be accounted for upon the theory
that he was Gods man:
Does the flood threaten? God raises
up Noah. Is Egyptian bondage UNI
bearable? Moses. the man of God,
is Forthcoming. David and Daniel each
appears just at the moment when the
cause of truth seems upon the brink
of ruin. and "in the fullness of time
Jesus. the great central figure of all
history, comes to focus in himself all
the glory of the past and to illuminate
until the end of time the ever-widen-
ing stream of human life and thought.
The history of the Christian church
is punctuated with mighty human
periods. Peter for Pentecost, Paul for
the Gentle mission, St Francis and st.

Wesley, with messages for every church.

God wrought His work for men, with
men, and not in all the category was
there one who did not own his al
legiance to his God.
Two Scriptures are given us. The first
is from the sixth of Isaiah, in which
brief chapter we haye three visions:
First. of the glory Of God; second, OF
the desolation that follows unrighteous-
ness, and third, of the fire-purged
inc volunteers to bear Gods message to
His rebellious people.
The second Scripture bears the prom
{ ise to those whom He SENDS, or the
presence and power Of the spirit OF truth
and comfort, who shall be with them
and in them.
Three thoughts emerge from these great
fountain heads Of truth.

: Our Bible lesson leads us to think Of the
life after death. Lazarus and Dives have
died, and the Master gives us q picture
Of the experience which comes to them
In tho new world. The good and the
bad man have entered the hereafter and
are experiencing, one Of them the rest Of
peace. the other the torment Of misery.
We are not told wherein the goodness OF
Lazarus lay. We can only surmise II
was In his patience and faith. Nor are
we told wherein lay the badness OF Dives
but We can readily see II was In refusing
mercy, pity and help to the needy and the
sorrowful. Doubtless Lazarus saw that
he might have been q better man while he
his effort. Christ tells US plainly the con-
seriousness of failure on the part Of Dives
and the regret which made his misery
more bitter. He had not tried The
things which he might have done lay right
at his door. and he neglected them. Now
il was too late.
