A neighbor of mine has a queer

her. You will hear him say, "My
wife amt much of a cook; yet she
is generally in good order" "My

could do as well as your wife," are
some of his usual expressions. Even
if his wife is short Of some things,

(BY REV. r. p. JONES)

Isaiah is the next book according
TO the Jewish arrangement, and re-
ports the prophets utterance on a
great variety Of occasions. Isaiah
was the son of Amor, and prophesied
about judah and Jerusalem in the
days of Uzziah, lothian, Ahaz, and
Hezekiah. He is believed to be of the
tribe of Judah, and is called the
greatest of the Old Testament
prophets. The condition of Jerusalem
and Judah, in the time of this pro-
phecy can easily be compared with
the worlds condition today. Thus he
offers as a remedy, "'True Worship"
Let US notice ~ An amended
lie Gods requirement (16, 30 YER
ses.) Though the nation had griev-
ously sinned their case was not hope
less. Gods pardoning mercy reaches
to the cloud. In order to enjoy that
mercy there must be ta) cleansing.

EALTH
nlNTS...

Health is more than luck and pro-
gress Is more than chance. Both re-
suit from the following definite well
organized laws. One man succeeds
another fails in the cases there Is a
reason. If you won't fail-drift into
it, if you want poor health let "luck"
bring it to you. Success in business
and in health must be earned. With
these thoughts in mind note the fol
lowing from the pen Of DR.. Geo. Par
ish. N ~yM Tww
"A little study will show that all
the men and women we call lucky or
successful have spent all their days
at the heart-breaking task of chang
ing ugly dismal failures into admir-
able, shining models Of success. For
years and years Bulwer Lytton fought
with London publishers to get his
novels printed. He failed many tim
es but in the end the publishers
couldn't get enough Of his stuff.
Wanamaker started in business carry
ing a pack. Of merchandise on his
back from door to door. Only thirty
years ago the worlds most famous
automobile manufacturer was making
a precarious living in a bicycle shop;
a millionaire hotel owner was hop
ping bells; a great steel magnate was
stocking a blast furnace, and a rail
road president, was pounding a tele-
graph key. Everyone Of them start
ed out with luck" against them.
Their lives had been a series Of ups
and downs, but like a rubber ball,
the harder they were thrown down,
the higher they rose. They lived
clean, decent lives, mentally, morally,
and physically. One does not GO
without the other. Each knew that
good Health was his greatest asset.
at is up to us to take our choice.
We can be Holsters if we wish. With
a little more nerve and effort in the
face Of difficulty, Encouragement
and the temptation to remain supine-
ly N the racks we can be victorious
and prove our rights to be classified
as a real man. Old Epictetus had
the right idea when he said "Diffi-
are the things that show what
men are" In case Of difficulty, re-
member that God. like a gymnastic
trainer, has pitted you against a
rough antagonist, in order that you
may be a real conqueror, but not
toll. We all can have and
enjoy health and happiness il we
will but strive for it and in doing so
do unto others, as you would have
do unto you"

WEEKLY SHORT SERMON ON
Herod. the Merciless, Malicious
Murder
BY DIR. A. G. Bearer-the Literar,
Service Bureau

Text: And he sent, and beheaded
John in the prison. st. Mat. 14:10.
According to criminal law, murder
is killing an individual with malice
aforethought," and, in the case of
herod, there was certainly malice.
Herod hated John the Baptist be-
cause he had condemned his imor-
atty with his incestuous marriage
to his brother Phillips wife. The
killing was merciless, because John
was given no opportunity for defense
Of any kind. Judging by universal
standards of criminology, Herod was
indeed a murderer merciless. NAL
icious murderer.
Two things stand out prominently.
One IS the dangerous influence of
a lustful, wicked woman. Second is
the cumulative force Of sin. Lust led
TO covetousness, c~ovetousness to
adultery, and adultery to murder
the grossest crime in the catalogue
Third, an oath to commit a wrong
should be repudiated rather than
kept-that it is more creditable to
break an oath to do wrong than to
keep It and commit a crime. All who
are tempted would do well to con
slider the fate of Herod the merci-
less, malicious murderer Of John the
Baptist.

To keep the cook stove looking

Do not leave rakes, broken glass,

to play.
Always keep bottles containing
poisonous drugs on high shelves or in
locked cabinets where there is chill

From this life and the recognition
accorded it by Jesus and the Gospel

Review
TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS In
SING SING"


By Warden Lewis E. Lawes
(Ray Long & Richard r. Smith, Inc.
New York City,
**+*#
ITO Those Tens of Thousands of
my former Wards who have Justified
my Faith in Human Nature, is the
manner by which Warden Lawes, Of
Sing Sing Prison, dedicates this most
interesting book that combines pen
ology, sociology, biography, human
nature and human interest sketches
of both prisoners and free people, in
to a most entertaining and convinc-
ing volume.
: We learn. by reading the book, that
Warden Lawes commenced his prison
administration experience in March
1905 as a guard at Clinton Prison and
rose rapidly in various branches Of
prison administration in several New
York prisons until December 1911?
when Governor Smith appointed him
warden Of Sing Sing, which position
has brought him international at
tention.
The book not only gives US the de-
tails of the myriad prison admins
tration experiences under Warden
Lawes' regime but it also chronicles a
very interesting history Of both the
old and new Sing Sing Prison, COM
mencing with the spring of 1925,
when a hundred trusty prisoners from
Auburn, under the supervision Of
Captain Elan Lynds, trekked to the
banks of the Hudson River, where the
first operations on the building OF
Sing Sing commenced.
The author, very convincingly,
points out many inequalities in the
enforcement and administration OF
the law; many methods of
handling Iaw-violators, etc, and for
each, a very definite and construct
i've method of handling is suggested.

9 years old and did not know how
to swim. The park pools had not
opened and his mother had often
told him not to swim in the lake for
it was dangerous as some lakes had
sand bottoms. Some little boys were
going to the lake and begged Bob
TO go along. So Bob disobeyed MS
H1other and went to the lake. As he
wandered in the lake ne stepped in
4 sand hole, he screamed and cried
for help. A man was in a row boat
and went to help him. Bob was al
most dead when the mar got to shore
but the mar knew what to do for
drowning people so he was soon abe
to be taken home. He was still
frightened and never disobeyed his
mother again.

ture.
If you are so Internally jealous
now, what would you be if you were
his wife? Give up this fool notion;
it means destruction. Let this young
man go his way and find a woman
nearer his age and be happy. If you
are idle, get some work; become in
