Sunday School Lesson
COMMENTS BY REV. ERNEST BoURNER ALLEN, d. D..
Pastor the Washington Street Congregational
Marion Sunday School, Toledo, Ohio.

The worm. the canker and the grief.
Are mine alone"
Solomon tried all that the world
could offer, and then declared. Il
looked on all the works that my hands
had wrought. and on the labor that I
had labored to do: and behold, all was
vanity and vexation of spirit, and
there was no profit under the sun. :"
Eccl. 2:11.
"A beautiful illustration of the
spirit of the Good Shepherd is found
in little incident in the story of the
great Garibaldi. I'll is said that he
came one night with his army to Il
village in the mountains, and was told
that the day before a lamb had been
lost, and not yet found. The coun-
try was well-wooded and full of deep,
dangerous rayineS, and 1t was not
easy to seek for the little creature.
The general himself sent out two of
his soldiers to hunt for it, but the y
soon came back saying that it was
growing dark, and they had felt OBJ
1iged to give UP the search. Nothing
more was said. but in the morning
when the general did not rise as early
as usual. the orderly at last opened
his tent door to see if all was well,
and discovered the general still asleep.
He was fully dressed and his boots
were covered with mud. his coat torn
with brambles. but snuggled safe and
warm in his arms was the little lost
lamb. Trouble and danger were
nothing to Jesus, likewise, when He
came to save the lost. He did not
even weigh them in the balance. II
meant death to Him, and life was
given freely"

Woman Goes to Jail
Rather than Admit
Her Word Ism t Good

Shortly before the Richmond County
Jail closed its doors last night Mrs
Sarah Harrison, Of 529 Barnes Avenue,
Midland Beach, Staten Island, an
nounced for the last time that her word
was as good as any policeman's. Then
she put large roll of bills under her

Mrs. Harrison was driving along Bay
Street, Stapleton, yesterday afternoon
when Patrolman Morris Descheidt ar
rested her, announcing that she was
going thirty miles an hour. Mrs. Har.
rison said she wasn't. The argument
was adjourned to the New Brighton
police court.
There the policeman repeated his as
sertion to Magistrate Eyins, who
promptly fined the woman $25. Mrs
Harrison calmly refused 20 pay.

From her cell last night Mrs. Har
