Matt. S:l6.27. John 14:2l.24.

Note that in the lesson today we are
dealing with Christians-those whose
sins have been forgiven and who have
been born into the Kingdom Of God
through repentance and faith. Obed-
fence is an outward expression Of an
internal state. We look at the trees
when in leaf and all apple trees look
alike. We can tell nothing of the ma
ture or character of the tree until it
bear fruit. We know what these trees
are only by their fruit. Men like trees
are to be tested by their fruits. The
professions Of two men may be the
same. With casual acquaintance with
them they may seem equally good, but
when we test them we find great
difference. One stands the test of
temptation. He responds to every call
of duty. By his deeds it is evident
that he is a genuine child of God, The
other breaks down under trial and
shows that his processes were insin-
cere, that he Is not the man he pro-
fessed to be, but is time server, seek
ing to deceive men.
The test is made through obedience
to Gods commands. The ten com
mandments are good tests of men,
Jesus said that these commandments
teach us to love God with all our
hearts and our neighbor as ourselves
and this is Gods standard.
Without the true love of Gods
shed abroad in the heart by the Holy
Spirit given unto us we cannot obey
these commandments. So without the
love of God in us we cannot stand the
Bible test.
The rich young ruler that came to
Jesus thought that he was keeping
all these commandments, but the test
showed tnat IL was only In perfume
tory way. He had kept them in the
letter but not in the spirit Our obed-
fence must be a willing, cheerful obed
fence, inspired by love, in order to
meet the test. Men may become so
formal in their obedience that they
lose the very essence of obedience,
namely a desire to please God. All
obedience must have God as its object.
Jesus came not to do his own will, but
the will Of Him who sent him. He de-
clared this time and again. Let us
see to 1t that our obedience springs
from a desire to please God.

AMSRICAN MASONS TO SEE
PRINCE OF WALES RAISED"

Two prominent Brooklyn Masons,
NJ. w. Townsend Scudder, past grand
master, and NJ. W. Robert Judson
Kenworthy, grand secretary, are have
the privilege, on June "a next of wit
Messing the ceremonial that will make
his Royal Highness, the Prince of
Wales, Master Mason, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
The comforting of the degree is to
take place in oLndon, and promises
to be the most notable ceremonial
of the kind that has ever taken place
in the world.
Every grand master and grand sec
rotary now in Office has been invited
and among those in attendance will
be Grand Master Farmer, of New
York. He will sail with Messrs. Scud-
der and Kenworthy on June 10.
1t is probable that among those
who will witness the important cere-
mony will be Wor. Henry S. German
past master of Hyatt Lodge of
Brooklyn, now in England doing Y
NJ. c. A. work.
Prince Edward was initiated on May
l, in Household Brigade Lodge No,
2614. His proposer was the Duke OF
Connaught, grand master Of England
and permanent master of Household
Brigade Lodge, who presented him tC
the brethren assembled on that occa-
sion as Colonel His Royal Highness
Edward, A. C. G., Prince of Wales and
Duke of Cornwall X. G. Grenadier
Guards"
In seeking membership in the fra
ternity Prince Edward has emulated
the example set by every heir appar-
ent to the English throne except two
since the grand lodge was established
two centuries ago.
King Edward VII, grandfather OF
the Prince, was initiated by the King
of Sweden in 1868. The following
year he became past grand master
and in 1874 was elected grand mas
ter.
Upon his ascending the throne he
was succeeded in the Grand East by
the Duke of Connatght INITIATED in
1870 and in 1890 again was appoint
ed past grand master.
King George, the present ruler OF
Great Britain, is the only member Of
the reigning house that has not be.
come member of the fraternity. He
is regarded as friendly to the order
but never has sought to identify him.
self with it.
The initiation of the Prince was
witnessed by a large assemblage OF
English Masons, including leading
members of the nobility and promi-
nent arm yand navy officer. At the
banquet which followed the lodge
ceremony, the speeches were restrict
ed to three toasts, "The King and the
Craft" "The Grand Master" and
Brother, the Prince of Wales, Our
Initiate" The responses were made

MCNEY TO SPEAK

Dr. Frank McVey, President OF
the University of Kentucky, has an
nounced that he will speak on OR
ganizing the Community" at the
Farmers Community Meeting at
Barbourville during the week of July
14th next. DR.. McVey is widely
known all over the United States as
an educator and a writer of books
on business and finance. He will
be unable to fill many dates during
the summer so Knox County is for
tunate indeed to have him be one
of the speakers.
Business men, farmers and pro-
fessional men should by all means
make a great effort to hear DR.. Nc
Vey talk on the importance of get
ting together to change a neighbor-
hood into community with spirit
to do the things which count in life.

HOLMES LIKES CHICKENS

Just Chickens" has been given
j. H. Holmes, of the Experiment
Station, as his subject because his
hobby and life work is conferred in
the chicken pens at Lexington. He
has been busy all year testing the
laying of hens by using electric light
early in winter mornings. He will
be busy later in the season out in
the State showing the farmers wives
how to Gull out their Stacker" hens.
Chickens and eggs always have
furnished the woman in the country
with pin money. Now that prices
for poultry and eggs are high, they
can earn a great deal Of money for
the good housewife. These women
should by all means hear Mr.. Holmes
talk about what can be done with
Just Chickens" at the Farmers Com
munity Meeting.

WAR BROUGHT CHANGE

The housekeeper of today is q
very different person from what she
was a few years ago. The war has
forced her to change her ideas of
any things and has also made her
cooperate In war work. She learned
to do team work in sewing or rolling
bnndages; she learned that her fam
lily could eat and be satisfied with
food which in the days of peace IL
would not even consider. She is
open minded and therefore ready to
have Home-making, Drying, Canning
or any other topic discussed.
Miss Dora sonnenday, of the Ex-
tension Division of the College of
Agriculture, will talk at the Farm
ers Community Meeting on Home
making. All the housekeepers will
want to hear what she has to say.
