The third episode can be presented
II in class by a student, or II the re-
view is a general one by the whole
school. Let some particular class Sc
lect one of its members as spokesman.
This embraces lessons VII and VIII
and Is gracious revelation of Gods
protecting care and also his abundant
supply for our every need. In this
section is another and a most beauti-
full suggestion of that Giving bread"
30 freely provided for all who will
accept.
Coming now to the last great cpl
sode of this quarter, the events in con-
nection with the giving OF the law,
we embrace lessons TX, x, XI and XII.
Before God gave them the various
commandments he sought to empha-
size his majesty and his holiness by
the smoking mountain, etc. We then
have two lessons on the decalogue, a
most fitting arrangement inasmuch as
the first part deals with the God-side
Of hfe-man's relation to his creator
and the second part has to do with
mans relations to his brother man.
The last lesson is terrible illustra-
ton Of this dual fact. The utter ina.
bility Of the natural heart to fulfill its
high sounding promises, its exceeding
sinfulness and the necessity of right
relations with him who alone can keep
1t pure Is, 1t seems to us, the impor-
tant lesson Of the setting up Of the
golden calf.
The two reading lessons give us the
true light of the divine patience and
the divine persistence.
The golden text is also an epitome
Of the spirit Of these lessons.

The lessons for the past quarter be-
gin with the deliverance Of the child
Moses and end with the apostasy Of
the golden calf and cover q period
Of approximately 80 years. In almost
every lesson there is something pro-
phetic or typical Of Christ, but two
things may be mentioned with special
emphasis. viz, the passover, lesson vi,
see l Cor. 81, and the bread from
heaven, lesson VIII, see Matt. 26:26, l

For the younger classes a most fas-
cinating story. can be told when pre-
senting this review. Describe Miriam
watching the ark, Pharaoh's daughter
espying the ark, sending the babe to
It's mother and later adopting 1t as
her son. Tell of the day when Moses
made his great choice, Of the time he
thought he could free his brethren,
but failed, not yet having the neces-
sary power from God. Then the 40
years as a shepherd John 1919, the
revelation at Horeb, the conflict at
Pharaoh's court, the passover, and the
fight by night. the crossing Of the
Red sea, the gift of the Quails and
the mama and that dramatic scene Of
the giving of the law. Enough is here
presented to more than occupy the
lesson period.

The following brief review Is sug
gested: Have one class member tell
of the steps leading up to the Israelit
ish slavery in Egypt Let another pu
pill present either orally or written, an
account of the life of Moses up To
the time of his appearing before Pha
raoh with his apparently audacious
request, Let my people Co." Let that
student not only recite the historical
facts but also show Gods dealing
with this son of an obscure slave. He
might illustrate By abiding to others
whom God has raised up to do ex
ploits" in his dealings with men, Dan
Tel 1889. This will cover four les
sons. Another pupil should then pre-
sent as concisely as possible that re
markable conflict which God, through
his representative Moses. worked out
with Pharaoh. This whole episode
was treated as lesson V, the text be
ing Ps. los 1886, and in lesson VI
the record of the passover. This lat
ter, the great feast Of the Jews and
Christ who is our passover ought tc
be carefully and yet emphatically pre-
sented. Let US not neglect to present
the Bible teaching on this, one of the
greatest truths ever revealed to mar

Of the short handled variety. such as

lower part Of the handle hollow. A
rubber hose leads into this tubular
body, and the other end Of the hose is
forked, having arms for both the hot

q continuous. stream of water-either
the hot alone or the cold alone, or

keeps it always wet enough to wash

Curious and Exciting Adventure Of Z

Curious and Exciting Adventure Of q
Balloon Party.
-Four occupants of a balloon, N of
whom was a. lady, had an unpleasant
experience and narrow escape recently
while starting for a race from Berlin.
The London Telegraph states that
the balloon rose laboriously from the
grounds Of the schmargendorf gas
works, where 1t had been filed, and
before it could get clear was swept
by the wind up against the high chin
ney of a boiler house. The envelope
was pierced by the lightning conduc.
tor and spread itself out over the top
Of the chimney like a gigantic mush-
room, while the a hung down against
the brickwork with which it had come
into violent collision.
Fortunately, a foreman in the boiler
house witnessed the accident and. had
the presence Of mind to close the
valves connecting the furnaces with
the chimney. No time was lost in
calling in the fire brigade, who ran
up their tallest ladder. 1t failed, how
ever, to reach the car, and 1t was
necessary for the occupants to lower
themselves by ropes to the topmost
rung.
When the valves to the chimney
were reopened the balloon caught fire
and was burned to ashes.

sh. Won't Live In Russia.

Nine. Pavlowa, the Russian dancer,
had to pass through something Of an
ordeal during her recent visit to her
native land. After a performance at
st. Petersburg she was called to the
imperial box, and the gar asked her
why she had ceased to live in Russia.
The dancer was equal to the occasion.
She entered into an animated descrip-
ton of the beauties of her new London
home and especially Of her pet swans,
pigeons and parrots, who could hardly
be expected to enjoy the delights Of
travel and who even at that moment
were pining for the return of their mis-
tress. The czar listened with amuse-
ment and gave his permission to the
great dancer to live where and how
she pleased, SO long as she remembered
that her own people were second to
none In appreciation Of her art--Ch-

DARING BASE RUNNERS.

Catcher 9wseney's View Of the Amsri-
can League Stars.
Asked recently whom he thought
were the best base runners in the
American league, Ed Sweeney, the
popular catcher OF the Highlanders, re-
piled:
For speed, the best are Cobb, Milan
and Collins, but If you asked me to
name the most daring base runners, I
would say George Moriarty and jim
my Callahan. / consider Moriarty the
trickiest base runner in the country.
When he is on base you cannot relax
your vigilance a second, and II he got
on the paths as often as Cobb, l be-
lieve he would steal a full hundred
bases a season. AS a pilferer of base
ball cushions he is an artist.
George is considered a fast man, but
he is nowhere as rapid as Ty, Milan
and Collins, SO that makes his daz-
cling performances all the more won
derful. He has the audacity to try
anything, and he gets a bigger lead
ion the pitchers than any nan I know
OF. He works away from the bag inch
by inch and then bolts ahead like a
streak. he seems TO get tor. speed. in
half a second and always slides to the
base at a point furthest from the man
taking the ball.
when he is on third base he is more
dangerous than gunpowder. The
catcher is working with the pitcher to
get a batsman and before he notices
it Moriarty has slid into the plate.
He can steal home by narrower mar
gins than any ball player l have to
worry over.
when Callahan is playing regularly
and is feeling at he is every. bit as
dangerous. He deceives you because
he never jockeys from the cushion for
q lead."-Ed A. Goewey in Leslie's.

Jones twice broke the mile record in
