Scriptura1 Rules.

You will get the most from this years,
and every other years, schooling by hav-
ing ever in mind the chief aim of life.
The scriptural rules by which success
in this life is attained are mainly by
striving with diligence. by honesty Of
purpose. by care of the bodily health and
by service to others, and by noble think
ing and clean living.
The pupil who is governed by these
rules will get the most that is possible
to gain in the school years of life: but
training does not end at the school or
college door Then is the real commence
ment of lfe's highest endeavers.
1t has been well said that the school
year is a ladder, the highest rounds of
which are wisdom, strength and joy. But
you cannot reach those highest rounds
without treading the lower rounds Of In
dustry, patience and perseverance"
1t Is true that to gain knowledge we
must ''shun delights and live laboriOus
days." but the delights that are Stunned
are not comparable to those that are
gained in the struggle for education, and
we know, too. that from labor there
shall come forth rest"

William of Germany Directing
Plans for Observance of

MPEROR WILLIAM of Germany.

state church. is leading In plans
for the observation of the four hum
dredth anniversary Of the German
reformation. This occurs in 1917. and
Lutherans all over the world will cele-
brate.
1t comes three years before the Puri-
tan celebration in this country in 1920.
The General Council, one of several
large bodies of Lutherans i'm America,
has just voted to raise between now
and 1917 the sum of $2.000.0O0 to be
pension fund for ministers and their
families. and it is stated that the Gems

Cd, dl ledSt. tne purpose OF bringing
divided followers of Luther together.
Some hope 1t may bring organic
unity, and all hope it may make pos
sible greater unity of effort.
A cause for much divided Lutheran
ism in America, ii is pointed out. Is
that OF language and loyalty to Euro
pean fatherland traditions. To some
extent 1t is due to doctrinal differ
ences. but not to the length that IL
generally supposed, and even depre-
Gated by Lutherans themselves.
Committees on the 1917 anniversary
have now been named by most general
Lutheran bodies throughout the world.

to answer the prayer OF Moses and also

drunkenness and debauchery of the people.

whom he left In charge had permitted the
licentious indulgence Moses started re-

stand for Jehovah by asking all who were
upon the Lords side to come to him. The
invitation must have been quickly accept
ed, for out of the great nation only 300
had to suffer death to keep them from
exerting any further undue influence over
either Israel or the mixed multitude that
came with them out of Egypt.
The next morning the great heart of
Moses revealed itself as with great emo
ton he showed the nation the sin and
offered to return to plead with God TO
pardon them. He knew that there was
serious consideration in the way of his
success, but he failed to tell them how
he proposed to make the atonement and
at what price he was willing TO try TO
move the heart of Jehovah. Calmly and
carefully as he retraced his steps TO the
headquarters where the executive OF
eternity had issued him orders he map
