The summer sweethearts sat in silence.
She was gazing at the dim blue vault
over them, where the little stars twinkled
in a million tiny points of flame He was
gazing at her as II he'd like to eat her.
''Dearie. what makes the stars shine 50

They are outshone by the glorious light

perior court. told the following at a re-
cent bar association dinner:
zone day when Judge Gary was trying
a case he was much annoyed by man In
the back of the room who kept moving
about, shifting chairs and poking into
corners. Finally the Judge stopped tne
hearing and said: Young man. you are
disturbing the court by the noise you are
making. What excuse have you to one
for your conduct%
+" why, judge said the young man.
I've lost my overcoat.'
" That's no excuse retorted the judge.

PREACHING THE KINGDOM.
Matthew tx. 35 to X. 15-sept. s.

Matthew TX. 80 to Y. 15-Sept. s.
HE that receiveth you receiveth Me,
and he that receiveth Me receiveth
Him that sent Me. "-Matthew x, 40.
We have more about the kingdom
in today's study. Jesus sent forth His
twelve Apostles two and two saying,
Gas you go, preach, The Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand"
As the Savior cast out devils and
healed the sick to allow people to
hear the message and to illustrate the
restoring work which His Kingdom
will do He gave the same power to
His Apostles
He told them that the Harvest was
pleuteous and laborers few, and in
timated that it was their privilege to
be all the more energetic; but in the
meantime to pray the Lord of the
Harvest to send forth more laborers."
SO the Master would have US feel a
deep interest in the Harvest work noEv
in progress, in the end of this Age.

BY WILLIAM 7. ELLIS.
There was once a philanthropist,
before the time when helpful folk
wore that big name, who went about
among the people serving them. AL
though the wisest man in the world,
He was not a theorist writing books
about philanthropy in detached
study. He kept close to the unwaShed,
sweaty, bad-mannered, ungrateful
common people, who sometimes
whined about their diseases and their
hardships, and were not always
worthy of the labor He bestowed
upon them. Yet day and night, car
ing not for the cost to Himself, this
Friend healed and helped and com
forted. He was the ideal social
The Passion for People.
AS He moved among them, this
PhilanthTopist was stirred to His
hearts depth. by the needs of His
neighbors-for He liked to call peo-
pie His neighbors. An ancient re-
port of His experiences says, when
He saw the multitude, He was moved
with compassion for them, because
they were distressed and scattered as
sheep not having a shepherd" An
other Interpretation of the same ac-
count is even more moving, He saw
them as sheep with the fleece torn off,
bleeding and unable to rise up"
Compassion for people was the first
mark of this Friend. He was the
merciful minister. Although He
never took a course in any school of
philanthropy, He Himself was a
Teacher in the school of love. He
had a rare capacity for affection. He
loved men in the mass, and yet with
a realization of their individuality
without any limit.
This passion for people has become
contagious. Since eXemplified by the
Master it has grown to be the domi-
nant note of our time. There is
new hymn that is being much sung
in Great Britain and is making its
way in America, which embodies this
modern sense of the claims of the
multitude. 1t is called God Save the
People, and is sung to the tune
Commonwealth:
When wilt Thou save the people?
o God of mercy, when?
Not kings and lords, but nations!
Not thrones and crowns, but men!
Flow'rs of Thy heart, o God, gre
they;
Let them not pass, like weeds, away,
Their heritage i sunless day.
God save the people!
'Shall crime oring crime forever.
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is it Thy will, o Father.
That man shall toll for wrong?
MOI say Thy mountains;
No! Thy skies;
Mans clouded sun shall brightly rise
And songs ascend instead Of signs.
God save the people!
When wilt Thou save the people?
o God of mercy. when?
The people, Lord. the people;
Not thrones ana crowns, but men!
God save the people;
Thine they are,
Thy children, as Thine angaIs fair
From vice, oppression and despair,
God save the people,"

As this Friend toiled amid the
masses, He wondered at the lack of
helpers. 1t seemed to Him hat this
business of serving people was the
most beautiful work in me world,
and the one best worth while
verify a mans job! AS for Himself,
He asked no other lot, AMI held no
other ambition than to WORK for and
to give His life for the help of the
people.
