! LESSON FOR MAY IS
SECURED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE
BANNER FOR IT'S MANY
READERS
ACCORDING TO THE
INTERNATIONAL SERIES
Text Of the Lesson, John XIV, 1-16.
Memory Verses, 7, 8,-Golden Text,
John XIV, documentary Prepared
by Rev. ID. Nj. Stearns.

Ii certainly does seem strange TO
have no lesson given from John xiv or
xvii. but we must not pass them by.
1t Is true that part OF chapter xiv was
suggested In connection with the last
review. but that gave no opportunity
for the study OF such chapter.
In the end of yesterdays lesson
chapter Peter insisted that he was
ready to lay down his life for Christ's
sake, but the Lord. who knew all that
was In him. said that the cock would
not crow before Peter would thrice
deny Him (xiii, 36-3S). If our Lord
Immediately added the words, LET not
your heart be troubled" and the words
following He would seem to say, AL
though / know you so well, Peter, and
how weak you are. would not have
you troubled. for some day | will get
you all home to the mansions prepared
for you, and then there will be no
more failure on your part, but you will
each have a throne and reign with me
over the tribes of Israel duke xxi.
20, 3O). 1t is truly pathetic to hear
Him say to Philip. Have | been so
long time with you. and yet hast
thou not known Me?" xiv, o. But
that was His continual lament Israel
doth not know. They know not the
thoughts OF the Lord. If thou hadst
known; Q righteous Father, the world
hath not known Thee lisa. /, 3; Mic
iv. -; Luke xix, -: John xvii, 25). IL
we only knew Him, and through Him
the Father, how very different the life
of a believer would be! If the Com
forter, the Spirit Of Truth, had full
control Of us. then the peace Of God
would rule In our hearts, We would
neither be troubled nor afraid We
would ask and receive to the glory Of
God, and il would be manifest to 9th
ers that the Father. Son and Holy Spir-
it were making their home i'm us xiv,

thing that we are here for, as the
Lords redeemed ones, is to bear fruit.
more fruit, much fruit, that He may
be gIorified (xv. 1-S). The fruit of the
Spirit is fully described in Gal. V.
22-25, and all else is from the evil one,
the prince of this world of John xiv, 80.
According to Eek. XIV, the vine is good
for nothing If it does not bear fruit,
for nothing can be made Of the wood
of it.

Exposing Children to "Children's
Diseases"

Mothers Of young children are urg-
ed against exposing their children TO
the so-called "baby" diseases.
At this season, whooping cough and
measles are responsible for much ill
ness among the children. Mothers
some times unwisely and purposely
allow their children to become ex-
posed to these diseases under the
impression that they are only trivial.
Both measles and whooping cough
cause many deaths and are not to be
regarded lightly. Even though your
child may not suffer serious after af-
fects, it may expose some other child
which may not recover. Health Off
GERS are required by the law and the
rules and regulations of the state
board of health to quarantine chill
dren suffering from these highly con-
tagious diseases. In the Office of the
state board of health will be found
pamphlets upon measles and whoop-
ing cough which may be obtained by
addressing the Secretary, State
Board of Health, at Lansing.

Desserts of Rice

As a basis of a sweet dessert, rice
is always useful, especially so for in
valids and little children.
If combined with milk and eggs it
makes a very nutritious dish as we'll
as one easily digested.
Plain boiled rice, cooked either in
water or in milk, and served with a
little stewed fruit, maple syrup, honey
or other simple flavor, makes a more
wholesome dessert for children than
rich buildings or pies because it is
less likely to upset the digestion or to
destroy the appetite for simple foods.

Uses of Green VEGETABLES in the DIET

Green vegetables are very abun-
ant in our country, and thir uses
much more common in families of all
circumstances than is the case in
some other countries. This is surely
an advantage, for while they do not
add greatly to the nutritive or fuel
value they do increase the wholesome
ness of the diet. They supply the
bulk desirable for the digestion Of the
more concentrated foods, they fur
nish an abundance of mineral matter,
and they give variety and attractive
ness to the diet.

Eat Rice

Rice ranks among the most nutri-

for one-half of the human race. When

cakes and buildings. S served with

cereal.
Rice is an acceptable food all the
year and particularly appetizing in
summer.
1t is well t remember that when
rice is used abundantly in the diet it
is particularly desirable to include

CASH MARKET ROBBED
SECOND time LATELY
NO CLUE TO BURGLAR

The grocery store Of Charles Peeler,
known as the Cash Market, was en-
tered by a burglar some time after
midnight Thursday and 5000 was
stolen from the McCaskey register.
A back window had been broken
open and an iron bar removed.
Through this, the thief is supposed to
have climbed. Footprints in the snow
showed that there was but one man,
who came from the north side of the
store. The tracks made by the man
as he left the place led toward the
south.
This is the second time that the.
place has been robbed. About a
month ago, the store was entered.
through a back window and ten dol
lars was taken from the register. A
boy who had been working for MI.
Peeler left town that night and sus-.
picion pointed to him. A wire TO:
Mandan intercepted the boy at that.
place and the officers took him from.
the train. He is now in the county
jail awaiting trial for the ofense.
