THE FIe-PINcHlNe PREACHER.
The international Sunday School
Lesson for November 28 10 amos,
the Fearless Prophet"-Amos 5:
LIS.
(By William T. Ellis.)

1t is dangerous to make predic-
tions, but, reasoning from precedent
and from present needs and condi-
tons, 1t Is not unlikely that this new
day of ours will see raised up sud
denly, from obscufity and the ranks
of the common people, new prophet
for our time, man who will speak
the blazing message from God for
which we are waiting. Clearly our
need of needs in religion Is for a
great prophet and leader, man who
can interpret this new era in terms
of Gods will, and arouse the church
to her mission.
To raise up such man has been
Gods habit throughout the ages. 1t
is unthinkable that the present times,
more crucial and portentous than any
other epoch, should not produce the
man. Back in the critical period of
Israel's life, when the northern king
dom seemed at the height of it's pros
perity and power and luxury, there
emerged from the south man to de-
clare that danger and doom awaited,
unless the nation should return to JUS
tice and to God. In less than half a
century after Amos spoke, Israel had
been carried captive into Assyria.
This man Amos was a fig-pincher
and shepherd.
"a Man With the Bark On.'
There Is probably not church in
America that would call Amos to be
its pastor. The reason would be not
only that his fearless. disconcerting
arraignment of current popular evils
would offend many of the leading
members, but also because his pulpit
manners would be entirely too uncon-
ventional. Nowadays the way min
lister ereases his trousers and ties his
necktie and combs his hair have more
than little to do with his getting
a call About the last thing pulpit
committees ask after they have run

ing, which is to be erected on the
north campus as soon as weather con-
ditions permit in the spring.
At mid-year meeting of the board
of trustees of the college an annuity
gift amounting to about $150,0OO
was accepted from DR.. Roy S. Dibble
of Kansas City. Besides passing
upon the Dibble gift, action was
taken towards planning a new home
for the president of the college and
various routine work connected with
the administration was discussed.
Eighteen trustees were present, be-
sides President Mann. In spite of in
clement weather, a large crowd as
sembled to witness the ceremony Of
breaking ground for the alumni hall
B. j. Thompson, '94, secretary OF the
alumni council, represented the
alumni Of the college.

EFFECT THAT WAS LASTING
Dumas Had Ready Explanation Of the
Presence Of Sleepy Ones In
Audience.

The elder Dumas was celebrated for
his n%everfailing repartee in every
day conversation. In illustration there
may be cited the following:
One evening he attended a theater
in Paris with a literary colleague, wit
Messing a play written by the latter.
The author Of Monte Cristo" noticed
that n of the audience in the par
quet had gone to sleep during the per-
Torrance. He nudged his friend,
pointing to the sleeper, and whispered:
is that the effect your plays have
upon some people?"
Soon after the same couple went to
the same theater on an evening when
a play by Dumas was being produced
Again there was a mar asleep in the
parquet. Look" said Dumas friend,
"at the result Of your dramatic
works"
why, my dear fellow" was the re-
ply, that's the same nan we saw
asleep here the other night. He is not
awake yet"

Allowance for Your Child.

A child may be given a small regu-
lar allowance for his own use.
Through this he may learn the Joy Of
immediate indulgence Of trifing
whims; or he may learn to expend his
resources with discrimination; or he
may learn the advantages Of deferring
expenditures for more favorable pur-
chasing, says a writer in the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. The child's claim to
such an allowance can be justified to
his mind on exactly the same ground
as his claim to food and clothing and
other material and immaterial wealth
shared in the home. He gets these
things not as a reward, Of merit, but
through his status as a dependent
member Of a household.
