named as the second member of the
Monroe team which will compete with
trio of cars in the 500-mile race for

CASTOR broke the worlds record
for the 100-mile mark in competition
when he won the 100-mile free-for-all
independence Day race at Sheepshead
Bay last season with an average of
HOS miles per hour. Later in the
year he made an average of 108.95
miles per hour over the same track
whGn he won the 150-mile Labor Day
event. Teaming with Joe Boyer, he
won the 225-mile race at the Union

year.
lie showed marvellous driving abil-
ity in the 1919 indianapolis race when
he was neck and neck with Ralph De-
Palma and his brother, Louis, in a
daredevil exhibition that brought the
stands TO their feet. At the climax
Of the struggle his right front wheel
snapped off, but he brought his car
into the pits safely.

REV. j. j. DlCkEI.

The lesson is an account of an ad-
venture of Jonathan, the son of King
Saul, in which he caused the stampede
of the army of the Philistines which
was encamped against the lsraelites.
1t was bold and daring deed but jon
athan had prayed and he believed that
God would give him the victory, and
he did. The Philistines had disarmed
the Isrealites so that they were not
prepared to fight. So it vecame neces-
sary for God to interpose in order that
the Israelites nigh gain their free
dom So God used this young Prince
to deliver the people. God can always
find way to protect and defend those
that serve him with all the heart. JON
athan is one of the brightest charac-
tiers in the Bible. While his father was
yassilating and unfaithful, Jonathan
was true to God and the right. He is
a worthy example for all young men,
The Bible is the place to look for mod
els, and for the methods by which we
may become models worthy of imita-
ton. 1t is marvellous what God can
accomplish through the instrumental
ity of one godly young man. There is
everything in the Christian life to
appeal to the heroic in the young.
Worldly heroes are lauded and admir-
ed. but Christian heroes are a much
higher class. Their glory is not con
fined to this world but it is in the flu
ture state their characters will be re-
vealed and their rewards will be re-
ceived God loves heroes of the true
type and He promises them glorious
Immortality. One must read several
chapters to get the setting of this les
son. 1t will richly repay perusal.
