changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording.

of women, children, and old men who
had escorted the departing conscripts

Long tables were improvised in the
square, piled up with bread, sardines,
buildings, hams and cakes. Casks of

thresher shark is also called the sea
fox, from the remarkable tail, which
he uses to brighten shoals Of fish, and
so make them more easily caught.
There are sailors yarns that this
whiplike tail is sometimes used for
flogging whales to death. But the
real prosecutor Of the whale is the

INTERNATIONAL
SUNDEYSC[IOOL
LESSON
by Z. Q. SELLERS. Director of Evening
Department, The Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago)
LESSON FOR MARCH 20
JESUS THE GREAT TEACHER.
(Review.)

GOLDEN TEXT-"He hath showed
thee, o man, what is good; and what
doth the Lord require of thee, but to do
justly, and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with thy God. Micah 6:S
There is no chronological order to
the lessons for the past quarter,
though they have all been selected
from the period of the Perean ministry
of our Lord. The thought of the Gold
en- Text, rather than the reading les
son, will serve to give us a connected
review.
The lessons have chiefly concerned
Jesus as the great Teacher, thus we
notice the inclusive note of the first
clause of the Golden Text, He hath
showed thee, o man, what is good"
AS an exposition Of that note we have
presented Gods plan of action, out
ward, ito do justly, aid to love mercy"
and inwardly ''to walk humbly with
thy God" With this thought in mind
let us divide lessons of the quarters
into two sections: Cd The first seven
lessons which have to do with mans
relation to the kingdom in its outward
manifestation, and (2) the remaining
i've that have to do with walking
humbly with thy God" e. g., the in
ward aspect Of the kingdom.

eighth lesson reveals the principle or
a true confession of Christ to be that
Of the faith which makes fear impos-
sible. We are to fear God alone In
the ninth lesson we see that the true
fulfillment of life is that of having
the heart set upon the true treasure,
which is spiritual, rather than upon
the false treasure which is material,
for, Where your treasure is, there
will be your heart also" In lesson
ten we have set before us the prin-
ciple of faithful service which is that
of Watchfulness for the returning
King, and which expresses itself in per-
petual service in his interest and on
behalf Of his household. Blessed
are those servants whom the Lord,
when he cometh, shall find watching"
The principle of the religion of Christ
is that of compassion Qesson IL,
and the true sanction Of the Sabbath
is fulfilled in such service as makes
the Sabbath possible to those who are
in need. 1t is, therefore, lawful to
do good on the Sabbath.
Lesson II deals with the vital issue
of this second section, viz, that 1t is
of far more importance that we be in
the kingdom than any other issue. We
must put forth strenuous efforts that
we may enter the narrow door. The
kingdom Of God is doing the will Of
God, rather than calling him Lordi
Lord Not everyone that saith unto
me. Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven"
Thus as we hastily look over these
lessons from these two viewpoints,
we are led to conclude with the first
declaration of the Golden Text for
the day.

Brussels. Aug. 1S.-There is good
reason to believe a serious engagement

announcement says the German incur
