with 9 curvilinear roof 10 feet In height.
Above the roof was placed some sort Of
decoration, but since this was separate
piece Of stone, it has long fallen and
lies today perhaps buried somewhere
near under the tangle Of jungle growth
which now protects the ancient edifice.
There is but one room in the struc-
ture, q dark cell some six feet wide
carved out Of the center of the huge
granite mass. At the rear of this
gloomy cell still stands the statue Of
Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu. Two
stone figures are represented as wor-
Shipping her and above ARE four gand-
harvos or flying figures, two Of them
with n1uStaches and bearing swords. on
either side Of the doorway are two fe-
male dwarpalas and there are also sew
eral figures in inches on either side,
most Of them females.
This Ratha Of Draupadi, together
with the other temples In this region
are relatively well known to tourists,
since they are unlike many others In
India, readily accessible; but their ORR
gin, the date of their birth and the peo-
pie who built them these are
matters as mystic as Is the tropical
jungle that has covered them during
the II centuries since they were erected.

Sunday School Lesson
BY
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

to enjoy the fruits Of their spiritual
freedom, as he had warned them on his
second visit to them.
Spiritual Life.
The fruits Of the Spirit lead 10 q
larger spiritual life and to real freedom
Of the soul, society and the state. The
character produced by the power of the
Holy Spirit is seen in the spiritual fruits
Of the Christians spiritual life. There Is
no law against love, Joy, peace, long
suffering, kindness, goodness, faithful
ness, meekness and self-control," while
against the fruits Of the flesh there
exists not only the law of God but Of
man. When we contrast these fruits Of
the Spirit with those Of the flesh there
can be no question as to the superior
value Of the fruits OF the Spirit over
the flesh.
The men who represent their coll
leges and universities upon the foot ball
fields have all been following some fixed
rules of diet and exercise The self
control that they have been practicing
Is spoken Of in this lesson as temper
ance. This word in the New Testa-
ment Greek has the meaning Of self
control. The necessity for the athlete
practicing what in the Scriptures is
called temperance Is seen in the ca
reers Of our leading surgeons, jurists
and captains Of industry. They have
found that the natural way of stimula-
ton leads to excess that Is destructive
Of their powers, so in an effort to pre-
serve their own liberty they have prac-
ticed temperance. Unregulated and
unchecked license is destructive of our
spiritual life. The Christian Is there
fore called upon to cruelty the flesh"
Wi Re nG
and appetites.
Now let those Of us who ''have cruci-
ned the physical nature, with its pro-
pensities and cravings" henceforth live
q spiritual life, dwelling deep in Christ
Jesus and always trying under the
guidance of the Holy Spirit to glorify
our Lord and Master. Let us not seek
the empty glories of the world, chal-
longing one another to controversies
and strifes. We have been called to
conquer the world for Christ and His
church by the use of spiritual weapons
in warfare for the glory of God and
the betterment Of humanity. Anything
that Is destructive Of mans best good
we have to master individually by q life
OF self-control. We must help all others
to do SO, aiding the weak in every way
open to us and seeking at all times and
in every way to honor our Savior.
spiritual life requires no laws to make
one lead a life marked by temperance
or self-control. and love for our fell
lowmen. The Christian keeps laws
placed on statute books to protect So
ciety and the state, not through the fear
of the law, but because hts spiritual
life enables him to live free from the
entanglements Of any man-made law.
Our freedom calls for us to exercise our
spiritual lives in service for the better
ment of our fellows and to keep our
selves free from the yoke Of the bond
age Of the law through our love for
Christ and our fellow men.

THE region IN the southeastern part
Of India, about IS miles south Of
Madras, along the hills that border the
seashore. Is rich in the remains Of an
unknown people who built here a series
OF rock caves and temples at time no
one knows. Not even a trace Of a city
remains here to tell us something of
these mysterious people, and our only
hint as to them must be derived from
the few Sanskrit inscriptions they have
left US on their temples. These, to-
gether with some other fragmentary
evidence, lead authorities to believe that
they came here somewhere in the NTH
or sixth centuries of our era, perhaps
from the north, remained here o COM
paratively short time and disappeared
as strangely and as silently as they
came
Most Of the nine temples located here
very close together are unfinished, in
dicating that the people left hurriedly,
but the Ratha of Draupadi is the most
finished Of them all, perhaps because
it is the smallest of the group, perhaps,
too, because 1t may have been the first
one erected out of the single block OF
granite which constitutes its material.
