(By William T. Ellis.)
Merely to prove that our brains
have not lost thei highest capacity
it is worth while for us to stop think
ing about the sporting page and the
fashion hints long enough to consid
er the drift of the world in which
we live. That is big thinking, wor
thy of mature minds. Few of us
ever rise above consideration OF
the nearest and smallest of the many
counter currents of life.
When we view things in the large
it becomes clear that the general
trend of our times is towards idealism
Almost any department of life may
be selected at random in proof OF
this Consider the matter of the edu
cation of women. Within the mem

ers scoffed at the idea of she

Many persons still alive knew Mary

modern idea of higher education FOL

Child labor, the horrors of which

Grafton, was not the subject for com
ment a century ago. Our vast plans
for baby-saving and for hygienic liv

Prison reform is scarcely more
than a century old, though the pres

world ahead of that which Dickens

telligence within a century has been
a colossal achievement.
1t is only matter of decades since
temperance has made such progress
as the most prophetic reformer OF

anticipate. The social evil has been
boldly challenged, and is being sagac

Simply stupendous is the progress
which our eyes have seen in the ad

clear look at this should steady oul
thinking and stop our hysteria
Great tasks remain, but that they
may be accomplished is proved by
what has already been done. The
seemingly new principle which is
dominant in the world today is no
thing else than the kingdom idea
taught by Jesus nineteen centuries
ago.
For the past three months the

these later days of Jesus.
Three Months of Wisdom Words.

these later days OF Jesus
Three Months Of Wisdom Words.
A period of about three months in
the life of Jesus is covered by the
quarters lessons. The scene of all
is laid in Perea. Steadfastly the
face of Jesus was turned toward
Jerusalem. He was near the end OF
his life.
These lessons all represent dis
courses. There were attendant in
cidents for some, but only one mir
acle-the healing Of the lepers.
Jesus was gathering up into the fin
al messages the utterances of his
ministry.
The background of snarling, cap
tious, hostile Pharisees is present
throughout Then, as now vested
interests were against new ideas.
Getting the Meaning Of the Near.
Homely stories and commonplace
incidents make up most of this
course of lessons. Jesus saw ser
mons in stones" All the life amid
which he moved was to him vocal
with spiritual messages. He attach
ed profound teaching to such COM
mon incidents as the scramble for
place at feast; the misery Of leper
at the rich mans gate the shrewd
worldly wisdom of steward dis
charged from his post; the loss of a
coin from her headdress by woman;
the shepherds straying sheep; the
Pnarisee at prayer-whichever way
he looked Jesus found feathers tor
truths arrows.
The observation Is suggested by
this, that our days call is for proph-
cts and poets who will interpret to
us our own times and our own life.
We are tired of the steam-heated
poetry of the magazines, and weary
of preaching and teaching that mir
rors the artifcialities of our c1viliza-
ton God send one who will sing
the song of the common things
The Seeking Saviour.
The greatest story in the world OF
literature, that of the prodigal son,
was told in the period covered by
these lessons. With it went the al
lied parallels of the lost sheep and
the lost coin. Here, too, we find
that other picture parable of the
publican and Pharisee at prayer.
Also doughty little Zacchaeus up a
tree in search of truth, and swiftly
making restitution of his ill-gotten
gains, in loyalty to truth.
Like major theme is great
symphony, there is constantly re-
corded through these final utter
ances of Jesus the idea that the "Son
of Man is come to seek and to save
that which is lost" That is the
greatest revelation about God. It is
one unique trait of Christianity.
Other religions represent man as
seeking God. Christ revealed God
as seeking man. The yearning father
heart, as represented in the son who
went the limit to show Gods love,
looms large in these lessons. The key
of all our recent studies is this picture
of the patient, self-spending son of
r"~'-;.'- ~oc'-'~g, seeking.

TEACHERS AT WORK
ON EXAMINA ATOMS

The two day session Of the examina-
tons for the Wapello county teachers
was begun this morning in the high
school building under the direction of
the county superintendent and her as
sistant. At the opening of the work
at 8 o'clock there were about fifty
teachers present and many more are
expected by Thursday. The humble
is somewhat lessened this year fro
the usual crowd at the June quizze
on account of the high school normal
training class having taken its work
in May and also for the reason that so

schools of the city are away attending
