No Q e in the world ever had

Fair" The Virginians" and Henry
Esmond." hold a foremost place in
the literature Of England
While this joyial genius was visit
ing IN America he furnished much
fun and amusement for those who
had the pleasure Of knowing him.
Among his friends was James r.
Fields, who. in his yesterdays with
Authors" recounts many episodes
which show the great novelist in his
role OF fun-maker.
While Thackeray was leaving the
hall where he had lectured IN Bos-
ton 20 a capacity audience. a shabby.
uncouth man approached Thackeray
and presented him with his card.
II seemed that this person was a
Snowman, and had among his ex-
hibits a huge rat with which he was
having success in drawing crowds 10
his show. He called hinsyls the
Proprietor Of the Mammoth Rat"
T6ackeray received him as II he
had been the President. and was
most gracious 10 this proud owner
Of such an object Of interest The
Snowman talked OF the extraordinary
proportions OF the famous rat and
on leaving, suggested that he and
Thackeray exchange season tickets
for their shows.
This amused Thackeray tremend-
ously. and he told tho man that he
would be delighted, and thought Il
was a good idea. He escorted him

A friend met him or the Rue de Ia

Returning 10 London. many dir
ners were given in honor OF Thack-
eray's success. One evening is de-
scrfbed By Fields. II was nearly 2
O'Clock in the morning when Fields
and Thackeray left to go home.
They stood by Thackeray's carriage.
His coachman asked where he should
drive
Thackeray put on one OF his most
ludicrous expressions, and gravely
said 10 John. the cOachman:
"I thini we will make a morning

and asked Mr.. Fields address.
They drove Fields home. and when
they reached the house. Thackeray
insisted upon seeing Fields safely In
the door. because, he said:
1T would be shameful for a full
blooded Britisher TO leave an unpro-
tected Yankee friend exposed 70 ruff
fans, who prowl about the streets

After giving Fields what he calls
gigantic embrace. Thackeray
squared off and sang a verse Of a
funny song. breaking the stiffness OF
the early morning. Then he made a
sweeping bow. and with another
goodnight jumped into his car

This was the great author as he
was-full Of boyish fun and with

SUNDAY SCHOOLlESSON
THE EMILE AND RESTORATION.

The lessons of this quarter cover a
period of almost exactly a hundred
and fifty years. from the call of Eek
lei in 592 B. c. to the building of the
walls of Jerusalem by Nehemiah in
444 B. c. and include the enormously
important periods of the exile and the
restoration which so deepened and
enriched the spiritual life of the He
brews, and the restoration which en-
abled them to continue and develop
their work for God and the world in
their own land, and so prepared the
way in the fullness of the times, for
the coming of our Lord.
In the course of our study many fig
ures have passed before US during this
quarter: Ezekiel, Ezra, Nehemiah,
Daniel, Esther. We have noticed that
the Hebrew religion drifted toward the
priestly rather than the prophetic type
during the prominence of Ezekiel
Ezra and Nehemiah. We have seen
also that the lives of the people we
have studied were marked by a high
sense of responsibility and deliberate
ly devoted to the public veal.
Ezekiel sought to warn his country
men of impending danger. Then when
the blow caem he sought to inspire
them with hope for the future. He de-
clared that the dead nation would rise
again to its feet as an exceedingly great
army (37:10).
Nehemiah was equally devoted to
the public betterment of his people
His Devotion took practical form also
Having secured from the Pension king
at whose court he served, permission
to return to Palestine, he Immediately
took steps to have the walls of Jeru-
salem rebuilt without which Jewish
life could not have been secure from
the assault nor her religion free from
heather contamination.
Malachi pleaded for a purer wor-
ship and a nobler social life.
