they may rise up In my manhood and
testify against my faithlessness as a

opportunity in every lesson and culti-
vate habit of conquering-a habit of
thorough faithfulness and accuracy
In this statement We have a striking
illustration of true faithfulness in
meeting the everyday tasks of life. In
a very important sense every occa asion
is a great occasion
No duty is a little matter. The high
est record any man can mako Is by do
ing what he ought to do. Whether the
thing one ought to do appears to be
law of duty.
To fail in one instance is a violation
of tho whole law, for the law 10 one
There is no duty except by command
ment.
If there were no law of duty there
could be no transgression. no violation
1t is written. "Whosoever shall keep
the whole law. and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all"
That is why 80 much importance II
attached to faithfulness In what we
call the little duties of life. To offend
in one point is to be guilty Of the
sin Of transgression of the whole law
1t is that view that makes it sc
important to guard against failure
in little things. No one can keep the
law of God perfectly. The utmost that
man can do is always to try to Dc
what is required. relying on the Law
of grace for help Faithfulness In the
effort to do right is accepted as per.
formance, for the God completes the

Jesus in His marvellous journey to Je-
rusalem has come to Jericho with the
opening Of our lesson. In the days OF
our Lord Jericho was a beautiful city,
Evening star., 1914-07-18

The palaces of the great or the gar
dens of "the city garlanded in palms and
perfumed with the sweet scents of the
balsam' did not attract the Master SO
much as the events of the past enacted
there brought to Him afresh the events
that He faced in Jerusalem.
As He passed the ford o fthe Jordan
Jesus probably recalled how Elijah rose
to heaven in his fiery chariot near that
site. 1t must have filled Him with the
thought of His coming crisis and con-
quest within less than fortnight. The
recollection OF the fact that He was in
the ancient home of Rahab. His Canaan
ite ancestress, would suggest that the
mission Of Jesus was for all races and
nations. AS Jesus viewed the tributary
whose waters Elisha healed in his second
miracle He must have thought of His
work as the healer OF men.
We cannot determine from the Scrip
ture data what was in the mind OF
Christ or the exact order of events which
took place in Jericho. One incident We
considered last month. when We studied
the conversion Of Zaccheus in connec-
ton with our lesson on the Friend OF
Sinners" and this week We consider one
OF the several narratives concerning the
healing Of the blind during the Masters
visit to Jericho.
The independence of each one of the
three gospels who agree as to the place
where Jesus healed the blind, are quite
striking. Many have tried and from the
several suggestions as to how the diner
ence in the three gospels can be brought
into harmony 1t is evident that tho rec
ords are not necessarily conhictingt In
fact, such differences are a testimony to
the historicity Of the gospels. While the
harmonizing Of tho trivial variation OF
the events is Of value. that which is OF
greatest importance to US is the spiritual
lessons presented In the lesson drawn

Perhaps the best and snappiest
game of basket ball ever played In
the Nezperce gymnasium was the
contest pulled off last Friday evening
between the Spokane Central high
school and the local high school
whirlwinds.
The announcement Of the Spokan-
ers coming created intense interest
amongst the fraternity Of this specie
of sport all over this part of the
mountain and when the game was
called between three and four hun
dred enthusiasts had assembled to
witness it.
From the time Referee Ssellmon
blew the irst whistle until long after
Ae sounded his last trumphet there
vas no use Of anyone dropping pin
-or spike either With the expecta-
tion of hearing 1t drop. But the
noise unc0rked was not all of the
Nezperce odor, by several ug-fuls--
for from amongst the mighty roar
ing the Spokane belligerants could
easily be heard cheering for their
Heet-footed braves.
The visitors secured the 6rst two
baskets with apparent great ease,
owing to their excellent team work
lit began to look as Il the reserva-
tion warriors had gotten their lower
lips spiked under their rubber solez.
But from thereon the fireworks De-
gan and there was no more sleeping
for players or spectators until after
the FIRST half ended, showing the
score Nezperce 12; Spokane 8.
During the latter part OF the first
half one Of The Spokane players evr
identity endsavored to learn whether
bis hip or cuz &obbiess head would
stand the greater conclusion, with
the result thai another Indian vas
needed TO finish the game. In The
last half Spokane put in its own uu~
pire and bic secured q few fouls to
increase the notches on his side Of
the tally stick, but the scoze for the
second half was even greatar than
the hFst-Nesperce l6s Spokane 10;
making the final score 2s to IS In
favor Of Nezpsrce.
