SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR
OCTOBER 5, 1919: John AND
PETER BECOME DISCIPLES
OF JESUS"


Golden Text: "Jesus saith unto
him, follow me-" John 1 :43.
Lesson John :29-42.
Follow me. When Ethan Allen
and his Green Mountain Boys came
dashing into the Revolutionary War,
not one of them had been to an Of
ticers' training camp, and not one of
them had waited for a commission.
A group of men went and chose one
to lead, and they all fought under
him as their captain. There was
something of this same sort in our
American Army for the great war,
but it was much slower process.
AT first all the colleges were asked,
"Have you any natural leaders to
recommend for the training campW
And captains were asked to promote
to be corpOrals and SergeantS the
natural leaders of men in their com
panies and to select the best leaders,
from these again for the training
camps. There is not a high school
class or a debating club or society
or any other organized group of peo-
pie that has not its leaders. We are
now going to spend three months
in finding out how Peter and John
decided TO follow the Highest Lead
er, what they learned in his COM
pany, and how all that they saw and
heard and did under this wonderful
leadership wholly changed their own
lives and made them able leaders of
others in their great Leaders serv-
ice.
What right has Jesus Christ to say
"Follow me" to YOU? He did it in
calling Peter and John and millions
of people since that time have ac-
knowledged His right. Some time
ago | saw an interesting article in
the American Magazine on Choosing
Ones Boss" 1t is very important
to work for the right man or firm.
1t is also important to follow the
right leader. The followers of great
military captains like Napoleon, or
Grant, or Foch gave their undivided
allegiance and seemed to love their
commanders. There is deeper and
different loyalty which men give to
Jesus Christ. They have been
stoned, torn asunder, crucified and
thrown to the lions for His sake. 1t
is fairly well settled in the thought
of the world that men follow Jesus
Christ because of His moral purity
and supremacy of His teachings.
To follow man means to accept
His principles and obey his orders.
Sometimes such followers are called
stlr~orterS, or adherentS or hackers.
Jesus liked to call His followers dis
cipleS or learners. Anyone who ac-
cepts the teaching of Jesus and obeys
linn, or tries to obey His orders is
a Christian.

U. S. NOW A GREAT MARITIME
POWER.

When the Great War broke out in
1914 American ocean shipping was in
II bad way. For fifty years our sea-
going merchant vessels had been
dwindling away under the blighting
influence of unwise laws. Congress
had been deaf to all appeals for relief,
Before the Civil War the United
States had no maritime rival but
Great Britain; but in 1914 we had
sunk to the lowest rank. We then
had only fifteen vessels of more than
1000 tons plying in overseas trade.
The war and the wiser legislation
of the last few years have changed
that. Here is an extract from an an
nouncement made this month by the
United States Shipping Board:
To-day, this nation has more ship
workers, more shipyards. more ship
ways, more vessels under cOnstruc-
tiOn, and is turning them out more
rapidly and in greater numbers than
now issue from all the shipyards of
all the world. Today the American
flag floats from 1880 ocean going
steamships, 1107 of which have been
built by the United States Shipping
Board within the last two years.

liberty, personal security, and pri-
vate property-to be priceless, and
stand like stone wall against the
radical, minority advocating Bolshe-
vism, anarchy and ultra-socialism."
An effort to have Congress de-
clare antitrust laws inapplicable to
farmers marketing associations with
capital stock, and to members other
than producers, was recently de-
feated in the House. This action
lays some restraint upon cotton rais-
ers, who have decided to organize
a buying corporation in every coun-
ty of the belt, take every bale OBJ
tainable, and then hold until the
minimum price, recommended by
producing interests, is forthcoming.
These interests, furthermore, intend
raising the minimum whenever the
demand for cotton warrants.
Whether such action will be termed
'in restraint of trade" is yet to be
seen.
World grain crops this year gem
orally show decrease as compared
with 1918, according to the Interna-
tional Institute of Agriculture. In
a tabulated group of countries
(Northern hemisphere), which does
not include Great Britain, the wheat
crop shows a decrease, but is larger
than the five-year average from 1913
to 1917. Barley shows decrease as
compared with 1918 for all countries
except Scotland and Japan. The yield
of oats has notably decreased as
compared with 1918, and in Scotland,
Italy and the United States as COM
pared with the five-year average.
