HUNS WHO KNEW 1T ALL

TT is conceivable that the present dis
L comfture OF Turkey and Bulgaria is
not u%ntinged with n certain furtive glee.
Delight in the humiliation of a martinez
schoolmaster has been a universal human
emotion since cave men assigned the first
lessons to unwilling pupils. The world
knows, with Dryden. that men are but
children Of a larger growth" and the
civilized portions of it can hardly refrain
from specializing on the possible feeling of
defeated pupil armies whose teachers have
been discredited in wholesale fashion.
Von Sanders, Schultz and Steinben com.
pose that refuted staff. The first of the
trio alighted at the terminus of the Berlin
Constantinople "eXtra-fare" express some
months ago and proceeded at once to in
struct the Sultan's armies in German
military methods. The Illuminating Won
der Goltz-he wte had proclaimed the i'm.
minent invasion Of Egypt-had preceded
him.
Von Sanders was to have turned the
trick, first with victory in Palestine and
then with a drive toward Suez. The last

daily hated, it is said. by all his Ottoman
pupils, depicted him in a cloud or syrian

hours before General Allenby's arrival.
Generals Schultz and Steinben came

garian army-that same force now crum-
bling under Allied pressure. Turks and
Bulgars. after their own fashion, are stall
wart fighters. The Hun decided that they
needed bullying leaders. 1t is well known
tina their mode of instruction was charac-
teristically tyrannical. 1t has been proved
futile.
Their pupils of the near East would not
be human beings did they repress, even in
their plight, a CULVER Of sardonic s~atisfac-
ton over the spectacle of three "smarty"
teachers who failed even more strikingly
than their classes and ran for dear life.

September

september
With the dawn Of September morning
Is born from out of the West
When summer has done with it's swelter
And birds have flown from the nest
The fairest Of all of the seasons,
And watts of sweet-scented BREATH
The dawn of the beautiful autumn,
That some people say is Death.
All! but when I consider Thy heavens
In the clear, cool dawn of fall,
And the hues Of the fields and woodland,
There's beauty and life in all;
In the sun OF September mornings,
The sky with It's azure blue
And the pale-tinted clouds Of twilight,
TIL the fall Of evening dew.
And the moon Of September evenings.
The stars and the crystal air,
And the clouds with their silver border
o God! I can see Thee there.
And just overhead in the shadows
The van of the migrant train
Is moving again to the Southland,
In starlight, moonlight or rain.
Why, Autumn Is born in September,
The time to build castles in Spain
If only the end of October
Would bring September again!

Here is a sentence Of Coventry Pat
more's. one of the many jottings which
were found in manuscript after his
death: IF you wish to be good, the
easiest, indeed the only way, is to be
heroically So" That Is profoundly
true. We are not going to be common
" good until we are uncommonly de-
voted to goodness. That Is to say, the
easiest way to Gods will on the ordi-
nary rDad' Is to bring to each task and
duty life Of uttermost conservation.
It Is only the really full life that will
make little things live. If there is to
be the heroic flavor in our ordinary
fellowships it must be born out of
supremely surrendered life to the fel-
lowship of God in Christ our Lord. We
are too prone to try to be good on a
perilously low pressure. and we cannot
get along. There is no strength In our
goodness. We are not impressive. It
makes no mark. 1t cannot burn TRAN
There is not heat enough. If we had
more heat. IL we were baptized with
the Holy Ghost and with fire, the otdi-
nary things Of the ordinary day would
pulse with the power Of holy consecrnt
