Not Such a Fooll

There is an amusing little story
about Sir Eric Geddes as boy which
shows the new first lord of the adj
miralty possessed of resourcefulness
at an early age.
He was somewhere about ten when
on being given $3.50 by his father as
pocket money, he forthwith went and
spent it all on a second or third hand
bone-shaker This earned him G
severe reprimand from his parent fol
reckless extravaganza, but the cul
prit rose to the occasion. Going out
the next day he returned, having sold
the bone-shaker for SO.

Chrlst's Way.

There is a way OF doing kindness
which looks as if no kindness had been
done: a gentle and delicate way which
adds preciousness to the gift. l have

ing it. so that the poor were not made
to feel their poverty. This was Jesus
Christ's method, and it will be ours as

. The Beauty of the Lord.

First of all, Gods laws are the ex-
preston of his lovely nature. Things
are not right because God wills them
but God wills them because they are
right. They express himself. The
sanity Bishop Ninde of the Methodist
church was once observed by friend
with a peculiarly lovely expression on
his face. The friend asked what
thoughts they were which were reflect
ed thus in the Bishops face. II was
thinking of God" was the reply. The
glory of this God is expressed in his
statutes and if we keep them we shall
be like him and the beauty of the Lord
our God shall be upon us.
Again, law is after all not such n
harsh thing. We should not desire
lawless country. Every creature finds
liberty in obeying the law of its be-
ing and so shall we. A fish lives hap
PLY only so long as it stays in the wa
ter. with all its limitations, and we
shall be happy only in the will of God.
One has said, "The principles of mathe-
MATES determine beauty and the laws,
of geometry are at the basis of music;
but Just as the artist transfigures the
stern laws into picture and sonata, so
in knowledge, love, patience and sacri-
fee the austere precepts Of duty pass
into that beauty of holiness of which
all other beauty is only the shadow"
The statutes have become songs.

ments, and in our text, as the statutes
of God.
The Psalmist declares that these
statutes have been his song in the
house of his pilgrimage. He pictures
himself as a pilgrim and sojourner, in
strange land and far from home, but
finding his solace and delight in the
law of God.
We must confess this is a different
conception from that of most men.
Gods law to them is not the sweet
ener of life. On the contrary, life
would do well enough if God could be
left out of it. His law Is the skeleton
at the feast and to forget God is their
daily pursuit.
Some, however, advance from the
place where Gods law Is their dread
to the place where they observe it as
their duty. We suspect this is the at
titIIde of many Christians Well, the
Lord is very tender and. of great
mercy; he will not break the bruised
reed nor quench the smoking flax. But
how disappointed he must be! What
husband would tolerate a wife who
only engaged to "do her duty" in re-
turn for his love? We are supposed
to live ito the praise Of the glory of
his grace" as Ephesians tells us, and
not merely "do our duty" We sing:
Fatrest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature!
o Thou of God and man the Son!
Thee will I cherish, Thee will 1 honor,
Thee, my souls glory. joy and crown.
Then we talk, rather dolefully, of "do-
ing our duty"
The Psalmist would show us more
excellent way, in which dread and
duty give place to delight and the
statutes become songs. A few consid-
erations will show the reasonableness
of this attitude.

Painters

Painters unions in Denver and thru
out the state have inaugurated a cam
paign to defeat a bill proposed by the
boss painters to create a commission or
board of examiners, appointed by the
governor, to control the painting, paper
hanging and decorating business in this
state. Under the provisions of the bill
every person, firm or corporation doing
a contracting business in painting. pa
perhanging shall pass an examination
and be licensed, the annual fee being
placed at s5. When granted license
to do business the person or firm must
file an approved bond with the secre-
tary of state in the sum of 81 900.
Section 10 of the bill defines the bus
iness of painting and decorating to Gin
clude the performance of labor upon or
the application of materials to any
building, either in whole or in part by
any person whatsoever" This is con-
strued to apply to every painter or pa
perhanger who works for wages and
would necessarily mean they must se-
cure license and pay fee for the
privilege of working. 1t would prevent
any painter or paperhanger doing odd
jobs and form the greatest Combination
in restraint of trade" ever written into
law
Painters Union No. 70 of Denver has
created an active legislative committee
to oppose the passage of this bill.
