INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
by w. 7. ELLIS

signed to be a time of rest, and of
refreshing memories.
The Day To Fight For.
Let us give up the fight for the
Puritan Sabbath, upon which a man
could not even kiss his wife. What
ever Sa bbath we keep must be a
twentieth century Sabbath, and SO
kept in modern ways. Practices must
be for individual Interpretation. The
preservation of the essential spirit of
the day alone is important. Cheer
fully may we surrender any rules or
regulations, if only we succeed in saw
ing the day of the Lord In the spirit
of Jesus.
And what is that Sabbath? BY
His definition, it is a day that min
listers to man. The Sabbath was made
for man." but to interpret that state
ment as meaning that the day was
created only for the baser uses of
the lower and physical nature of man
is absurd. The highest exercise of
any office or function is its truest.
but, more important than that, it
serves His immortal spirit. The Sab
bath was made first of all for that
part of man which is immortal. If
his mind and soul are not the strong
er and the nobler for this one day
in seven. then there has been no
proper Sabbath observance. The
best Sabbath helps man to be his best
self. Too much consideration for the
body and its pleasures would give us
a decadent Rome.
By the second definition of Jesus,
this should be ministering day. His
example also set the seal of worship
upon it, for in the house of God the
memorial purposes of the Sabbath are
best observed. Then the day is to be
put to uses of charity and brotherli-
ness. The sick are to be remember
ed, and all-the worlds needy. Jesus
grew angry with the men who put
sabbath regulations above the needs
of humanity. A day that will bring
thoughts of God and the help of God
to all men is a Sabbath Day in the
spirit of Christ. For more than it
needs bread and circuses.' or higher
wages and more pleasures, this old
world needs a new. vital sense of the
relation of men to God. A proper
Sabbath is one strong strand of this
tie

July 18th, 1917. Dear Sirs,
 have thoroughly examined the construction and aeronautcal principles of the Lanzius Changeable Angle of Incidence Airplane and have to the conclusion that it represents a very considerable advancement of the present day machine manufac- tured with the Stationary or Fixed Angle of Inc- dence.
 bodying principles my wide experience, makes possible what heretofore has been deemed impos- sibe among the Airplane Builders, namely: tho facility of very quick raising fast speed in the air. slow landing and the carrying of heavy loads. The Lanzius Machine is one of the strongest I have yet had tho pleasure of poting, and this has been proven beyond doubt to my satisfaction by my recent flying experience with the machine. Tho unique construction including the Cantilever, which believe must eventually be adopted by all Arplane Manufacturers, makes exceptionally light and strong machine and will do much avert the many disasters that have befallen aviators in the past The Lanxius Machine bears evidence of pains- taking work and shows truly remarkable insight of we'll known Aeronautical principles, and have no hesitation in making the statement that believe that this machine will prove the pioneer of a new era, and predict future for it.
