doing anything wrong, would be SUR
prised II they saw In doing the things
that they claimed they nAye q right
to do and enjoy doing they are 4
stumbling blocks to others, who are
weaker and whose ideals are not the
same as theirs. They are turned away
from Christ and His cause because we
have not put ourselves in their places
when we plan our arnusennents, eating
and drinking. II II this principle,
which the lesson teaches, that should

along all temperance lines. A former

wear one he helped to reclaim q
drunkard. When our profits or pleas
ures become other peoples pitfalls 1t
IL our Christian duty to give them up.
Facing Facts.
We are called by this lesson to face the
fActA Of our individual lives with q
view to the influence upon the lives
Of others of all that we say or DO.
II our Lord Jesus surrendered HIS ab-
solute rights and infinite glory for
our sakes, what should we not be will
ing to sacrifice for His sake, and for
the welfare Of our brethren" We should
do nothing that would weaken another's
faith. We should make our influence to
count for Christ and His kingdom.
When we weigh the facts Of our daily
life by our conscience we will never
think Of doing anything that imperils
the morals Of another or that would
cause them TO stumble. Nothing in our
life should be dangerous In its religious
influence upon other followers Of the
Lord Jesus.
We are called to promote something
Of greater Importance than eating and
drinking, vital as they may be, for we
have been summoned to help advance
righteousness and peace and Joy in
the Holy Spirit" We can and for
Christ's sake ought to be willing to
relax our rights, but we have no right
to neglect in any way our duty to the
Master and our brethren. We should
not consider the outward appearance
but judge everything according to the
dictates OF our conscience and the
glory of the Lord. No man who applies
that test to the social or commercial
temptations OF modern life will fail
in Christian forbearance. fellowship,
or faith to aid the weaker brother.

 Sometimes parents do not cre- ate & proper attitude in the child to begin school: either by their inc difference or the depreciation of the value of education. The little child should start school eager to learn, and not simply because he is sent. \
 Children frequently for the first time come in contact at school with other children and because of this do not know how to get along. Before beginning school children should have, from practical ex- perience, the knowledge of the rights of others which can only be children. They should never be given the idea that they arc too good or not good enough to play with other children for If such is the case they will find 1t difficult to get along in the democracy of the public school. Any peculiarity in dress, mannor or name that marks the child different from the group may cause the child hours Of anguish and affect unfavorably his school career. '
 Thus the matter of starting the child in school is something which cannot he undertaken haphazard- Iy--but from birth the child should be prepared for the, time he VIII enter school. and when that time arrives every advantage possible should be given him to assure happy and successful school cst- reer. The entering of school should not be a crisis.
