Sunday School Lesson
BY
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

among men by our fidelity to Him and
to one another We ought to be moved
at all times to labor as captains of in
dustry or humble toilers, out of love for
the Savior and for one another.
Paul suggested some live sermon
topics to Timothy in his message to
the pastor at Ephesus. He calls upon
him to warn the "Supercilious," "arro-
CANT" idle wealthy members of his con-
gregation to quit trusting in their
riches and put their faith in God. The
love of money is the root of all evil.
Many men prove their faith by putting
the Christian spirit into their industry
and business. A noted packer refused,
SO it is reported on good authority, to
enter the beef trust because his wife
said God was against it. He won out
because he was true to his faith. In
every industry and business there are
men seeking to help their brothers in
Christ by giving them employment that
reveals to them the Masters spirit.
When we recognize the value of every
life and their right to enjoy the better
things of life, we seek by our industry
to help them to advance for the glory
of the Lord Jesus whether we are en-
ployes or employers. We carry the
"Christian spirit" into our industry
when we exhibit love to all and labor
for the glory of our Lord and the ad-
vancement of His Church and Kingdom
among men.

Father Abraham Wise
in Departing From Ur

The diggers, comments the Montreal
Star, have uncovered the city of Ur,
the place Father Abraham left be-
cause he felt the need of expansion.
Ur, it appears, had a luxurious CIV
ilizatlon and the women wore hair
nets. The hair nets may have had
something to do with Abraham's NOV
ing on to wider fields. To man with
the pioneer spirit hair nets for wom-
en- must have looked like the last word
in superfuous expenditure, especially
if, as was the custom among the pa
triarchs, he had a number of wives
all Of whom would want hair nets.
At all events Abraham decided to
get out of the hair net district and so
he embarked on the great adventure
which persists to this day. 1t may be
news to Abraham that ten of the
tribes-that posterity numberless as
the sands of the desert-were lost,
even more completely lost than the
city of Ur, which has just been I'M
earthed after 5000 years in the grave,
but the other ten tribes found them
selves on their feet wherever they
fetched up and are now among the
solidest citizenry of the world. Abra-
ham will be glad to hear this. He
made no mistake in leaving Ur, the
hair net city. In vain was the hair
net spread in the sight of the victim.
Abraham was too wise to be taken in
that snare. He took himself and his
daughters and his wives and his maid
servants out Of the reach of tempta-
ton. His sons, having families of
their own, shared Abrahams dislike
OF hair nets and needed no arguments
to emigrate.
In the light of history, we repeat
that Abraham made no mistake In
leaving Ur. And even If he did, to Ur
is human, to forgive Misunderstanding

Roman Bridges Excite
Wonder of Engineers

Among the notable bridge-building
achievements of history are those con-
structed in the days Of the Roman
empire, says a writer in the Detroit
News. Some of them still are In use,
to the amazement of engineers, while
others stand in broken majesty, the
results of earthquakes or of purposed
human destruction, for the delight
and wonder of all beholders.
The two bridges, which lead from
the Forum side of Rome to the island
in the Tiber and on to the Trastevere,
or st. Peters side, were built in the
Second century, B. G. They have
been used very much more than the
Appian Way viaduct. They have stood
there against frequent floods and con-
slant usage these 1000 years and they
bid fair to keep on standing. The fine
bridge across the Tiber, north of
Rome, built to carry the Flaminian
way northward, is another good ex-
ample Of a bridge more than 1000
years old, which has seen steady and
hard use and still appears as good as
ever.

Stern Colonial Laws
Barred All "Frippery"

Many laws that seem queer to us
now were passed in Colonial times,
among them the following. issued by
the general court of Massachusetts in
1850.
"Whereas, there is much complaint
of the excessive wearing of lace and
other superfuities tending to little
use or benefit, but to the nourishing
of pride and the exhausting of mems
estates, and also of evil examples to
others; It's therefore ordered by the
court, and decreed, that henceforth no
person whatsoever shall presume to
buy or sell within this jurisdiction any
manner of lace to be worn or used
within our limits. And that no tailor,
or any other person whatsoever, shall
hereafter set any lace or points upon
any garment, either linen, wooden, or
any other wearing clothes whatsoever
and that no person hereafter shall be
employed in making any manner of
lace, but such as they shall sell to
such persons as shall and will trans
port the same out of this jurisdiction,
who in such case shall have the liber-
ty to buy the same.
"And that hereafter no garment
shall be made with short sleeves,
whereby the nakedness of their arms
may be discovered in the wearing

days of Real Sport"
in Rural Community

To many who have never lived In
the country the life of the farmer
seems to be an endless round of labor,
with little, If any, pleasure to break
the monotony. However, like many
opinions formed by one-half of the
world In regard to how the other half
lives, this point of view Is errone-
GUS.
True, the farmers toll is incessant
throughout the year. 1t has ever
been thus. On the other hand, there
always has been much to relieve 1t
OF which the city-bred people know
little or nothing.
It also contained in the olden days
certain picturesque elements lacking
In the country life of today. There
was a color and sparkle which the
more or less sophisticated rural life
of the present time knows not.
Think of the sleighing parties, the
husking bees, the apple-paring bees,
the quilting parties and the singing
school, to say nothing of the rails

course, but the social element over
