house? We do many things there
which we did not do years ago. Time
was when even an organ was tabooed
There are entertainments and lectures
of one sort or another, some helpful,
others which seem to leave us with
less of reverence for the sanctuary.
What Is the remedy?
III. DiIemmas
The chief priests. scribes and elders
questioned the authority of Jesus. He
retorted by asking them to say
whether Johns baptism was from
heaven or from men. If they said
from heaven, they were convicted, be-
cause they did not obey him. If they
said from men, the people would rise
against them. So they took refuge
by saying they couldn't tell! They
were beaten by clear-cut dilemma.
There are people today who would
learn more and do better if they tried
to trip others less.
The authority Of Jesus Is shown by
his words and his works. The centur-
les of history since he was on the
earth have justified his claims and his
teaching. He shares his authority
with NO other prophet.

The Record says that "every even
ing he went out of the city" He

help of the home circle. Are you
appreciating and using your home
fortress as YOU should?

Cincinnati, Ohio. - Little Freddie
Goshorn, aged 8, tired of playing alone
in the front yard, evidently asked him
self the ancient question, (which had
I rather do or go a-fishing?" Fishing
won the point, so he soon found one
of his fathers fishing lines and taking
a piece Of meat from the family ice
box he promptly proceeded to fish.
He didn't think 1t at all necessary
to look up river, lake or ocean for
his piscatorial exploit, not yet being
a disciple of either Walton or MUNICH
hausen. He simply cast his line out
the front window of his parents third
floor fiat. For some time he failed to
have any luck and Freddie, becoming
wiser In rapid bounds, began to doubt
the fish stories told by his father.
Suddenly he got bite that an old
time fisherman would call whale.
Freddie pulled and the fish" let out
a scream. He pulled again and sec.
ond Scream aroused the neighborhood.
Freddie reasoned to himself that he
never had heard of a fish screaming, so
he leaned out of the window to have a
look. On the end of his line he saw
Mary Hall, aged 4, residing on the first
floor of the building.
Freddie dropped his line. Neigh.
bors cut the line and Mary Hall was
taken to the City Hospital in a patrol
wagon where the fishhook was cut ont
of her head.

LESSON FOR MAY 10Th

Lesson TitIe-"Jesus Exercising
Kingly Authority"

27-33.
Golden Text-"All authority hath
been given unto me in heaven and on
earth" Matthew 2S:1S.
I. Receiving the King.
Kings usually receive great re-
ception and many honOrs. Jerusalem
was looking for her king and her chill
dren sang songs, while the people
shouted and spread garments in the
way, when Jesus came. 1t looked for
time as though the people were real
ly going to acknowledge his authority
and kingship. But the Pharisees and
other leaders stood aloOf. The COM
mon people were disturbed. They
doubted. The fickleness of the hu-
man spirit began to assert itself. They
did not make Jesus King.
How do you receive da rdu
How do YOU receive your king?
With public approval and then with
final Indifference anu rejection? How
many there are whose religion varies
according to the popular mood. At
throng sat the church doors. In two
weeks. for many the spasm has pass
ed! The coming of the King is al
ways a Judgment day. whether for
Jerusalem. for the world or for us!
ii. Accepting the Kings Cleansing.
Something about Jesus made them
fear him when he drove the money
changers out of the temple. They
knew they ought not to have been
there. 1t was n desecration of relig-
ion and represented the supremacy of
greed. Life is Il temple that needs
cleansing today and Jesus Christ is
able to do it. out of our sacred places
He can drive the selfishness which
forgetS God. Is your life temple in
need of cleansing? Call Him to help
you set it i'm order.

he spent years in painstakingly

them before the different governors

MOTHER GOOSE

Dear old Mother Goose is on her
way to Chautauqua, boys and
girls! You know all her children
Little Bo-Peep, Jack Horner,
Little Miss Muffet, Boy Blue and
a dozen others. Wouldn't it be
great fun to dress in their costumes
and, just for one night, take their
places in Story Book Land?
You can do it! That is why we
are bringing Mother Goose to you.
On the morning of the fifth day at
Chautauqua she will meet you at
the big brown tent. You'll like
her because she likes you already.
She is the friend of all children.
All that day she will be with you
helping you get ready for her big
Festival at night.
And what fun there's going to be
then! Out of Mother Goose's mys-
terious trunk will come all the
pretty fairy costumes that her
children wear. You put one on
and, Presto! You are in the King
dom of Fairyland-iust as though
you had been whisked away on a
magic carpet.
The big tent is darkened-mother
and father are out there, and a lot
of folks you know. It's most as
much fun for the grown-ups as for
you. First come the Sleepy Heads,
