The international Sunday School Les
son for August 4 is, "The Worth OF
the kingdom."-Matt. 13:44-53.
(By William T. Ellis.)

The memory of Hindu guru, o.
teacher, sitting under a DO tree a
Jaipur in India, surrounded by a cir
Gle of eager listeners, men, Womel
and children, recurs to me as take
up this story of the great out-of
doors teacher The eagerness o
these Indian listeners must have
been akin to that Of the crowd who
gathered on the shore Of the north
ern border Of the Lake of Galilee
and listened to the teacher who sal
in boat and taught them, not as
the scribes and the phar1sees, then
conventional teachers, but as one
having authority
It was the rule for religious teach
ers to draw their lessons from the
accepted books, but this unconven
tional rabbi, who was derided by his
enemies as only a journeyman car
penter, told stories about the com
mon life which had been familiar to
all his hearers from earliest child
hood. He clothed his Hottest teaching
in the figures of every day. The pro-
foundest wisdom may be expressed
in the plainest speech.
The Inexpresslble Kingdom.
Four OF the stories or parallels
told that day make up the present
Sunday school lesson. These are the
parallels OF the treasure hidden in the
field, Of the pearl Of great price, OF
the net and the householder. All have
to do with the one major theme OF
the master at this time, the kingdom
of heaven truth so rich and many
sided that 1t needed many figures and
forms for its expression. AS a lover
likens his sweetheart to star, to q
flower, to a jewel, SO Jesus seemed
to search his knowledge to find par
ables for the Incompatible and mex
pressible kingdom Of heaven.
AS we enter upon the study OF the
parabies themselves, let it be by
contemplation of the greatness and
glory Of the kingdom (which en-
crossed the thoughts Of Jesus. The
search for it has been the greatest
quest Of the ages. We read its mean
ing to the first centuries in the cata-
combs at Rome, in the magnificent
ruins at Ephesus, in the ancient
manuscripts from the Nile. All
through the centuries the kingdom
passion has burned more or less
brightly In the hearts of the best
men and women. Never did 1t glow
SO brilliantly as today. The supreme
passion OF the twentieth century,
whether men realize it as such or
not is the endeavor to bring to pass
the kingdom Of heaven on earth.
orientaIs and "Antikas."
More than once in the villages Of
Mesopotamia / have wandered about
without an interpreter, pronouncing
only the magic word "antika," hop
ing to find some treasure OF archeol
ogy-a coin, seal, or a cunieform
inscription. To this, in good part
/ owe a collection Of antiquities, for
the ancient passion Of the oriental
to seek for hid treasure still abides
ia undated ardor. Indeed, it has
been increased by the value which
civilization has placed upon antiqui-
ties. The dweller in the Levant is
allured by the consciousness that he
may be walking over priceless treas

Alexander, which was dug up at

mentioned that her father had started
new story but was at loss to de-
eide upon the hero's name The fu.
ture Mrs. Newman, with her fance
in her thoughts, suggested that his
name, Philip" might serve the pur.
pose.
At that moment who Should come
up unobserved behind the two girls
but Thackeray himself. Making his
presence known by laying hand on
a shoulder of each of the young peo.
pie. he asked why they were so deep
In conversation. Thereupon Miss
Thackeray, turning around, revealed
the subject under discussion and told

Sneezlng as an Omen.

The only attention we pay to q
sneeze at the present day is to en-
deavor to get rid of the chill which
causes it; but sneeze in the days OF
old Greece was matter of great con
Germ and import.
There was then a god of sneezing,
and great undertakings would even
be abandoned If a man sneezed at an
inappropriate moment, the act being
looked upon as the oracle Of the god.
A sneeze between midnight and
noon was looked upon as fortunate
sign, but between noon and midnight
it betokened great misfortune. TIC
sneeze to your right was lucky; to
the left unlucky. Two or four sneezes
We're lucky, one or three very I'M
lucky and any undertaking in hand
should if possible be abandoned; more
than four sneezes did not count.
There Is a saying in many parts OF
England today: "Once a wish, twice
kiss. three times letter. four times
something better" If people sneezed
together it was good sign, particu.
larly If they happened to be discuss
