Thousands of people enjoyed the 22nd at the McKinley Park, when they fed their stomachs with eatables abundantly. Gov. Pauline wore a principal speaker and with other candidates, they fed the people's mind with things pertaining to the government and the future, if they are elected. This would be a great country, if one-fourth of the promises made by candidates were carried out. We advise that our people take the messages, examine the past records of the candidates; and, if your consciences dictate that he is the right one vote for him, but don't let this good talk fool you nor this good something to eat.

For 43 years he was connected with Wilberforce University, 1877 to 1920, and was its president for 13 years (1908-1920), giving it a life time of faithful, self-sacrificing service. He was born in Macon, Ga., February 16, 1852, and was the only surviving child of Jeremiah and Frances Scarborough. He received his early education in Lewis High School of Macon and spent two years at Atlanta University, preparing for Yale, but entered Oberlin College Oberlin, Ohio, instead, graduating with the degree of A.

JUNIOR TOPIC—Stories of the Lead ers of Israel INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Striking Incidents of the Quarter YOUNG PROFILI AND ADULT TOPIC—The Main Teachings of the Quarter. It is strange that the lesson committee should have selected the title "Early Leaders of Israel" when only Moses appears. A better title would have been "Moses, the Leader of Israel." In such a case consideration should be given to Moses' life, character and teaching. Indeed, a good method of review would be to use this plan for the quarter's lessons. Another method of review would be to give a synthetic view of the book of Exodus, since all the lessons of the quarter are taken from that book. However, for the senior and adult classes the best method will be to recall the principal fact and then state the leading lesson of each Sunday's lesson of the quarter. To aid in this, the following suggestions are given: Leason for July 4. When the time drew nigh for God to deliver His chosen people He caused them to multiply greatly. Danny and alarm inched the new king to institute measures to check Israel's increase. The attempt to carry these measures out not only displayed their futility but brought to be sheltered and nurtured in the king's palace the very one who later upset Pharnoth's throne. Lesson for July 11. When Moses was born, his mother perceived that he was a child of destiny. The king's edict was that every mate child should be destroyed, but the faith of his mother moved her to hide him. When no longer able to hide him he was preserved in an ark of bulrushes and taken in charge by Pharaoh's daughter. At the suggestion of Miriam, his mother was called as a nurse. He was educated both at his mother's knee and in the Egyptian court. Lesson for July 18. While Moses was keeping Jethro's sheep, God appointed to him in a burning bush and commissioned him a deliverer of His people. Moses faltered but God patiently heard and met his difficulties. Lesson for July 25. In memory of the great deliverance of Israel from bondage, the passover was instituted. All who were under the blood were saved from the destroying angel. Lesson for August 1. God permitted the Israelites to get into stratified circumstances after leaving Egypt, in order to teach them to trust Him and also to lay a snare for the enemy. Leason for August 8. Before going far into the wilderness the people lusted for the fleshpots of Egypt. God answered their murmurings by giving them qualis and manna to eat. Christ is the true manna sent down from God to man. Those who eat of his bread shall never die. Lesson for August 15. Jethro, seeing Moses completely occupied with the judging of Israel, advised that Moses should be to the people Godward and that all the weightier matters should be cared for by him and that suitable men should be appointed to judge the smaller matters. God's work should be carefully organized so as to relieve his ministers of unnecessary burdens. Lesson for August 22. To love God with all the heart, soul, strength and mind is the fulfillment of the first four commandments of the Decalogue. Lesson for August 29. Loving our neighbor as we love ourselves is the fulfillment of the last six commandments of the Decalogue. Supreme love to God and love to our fellowman as we love ourselves is the sum total of human duty. Lesson for September 5. God through Christ dwells in the midst of His people—just as He did in the midst of Israel in the tabernacle. Lesson for September 12. In carrying on of God's work all should offer willingly such gifts, as they have. Lesson for September 19. Disobedience to God's laws always brings calamities, while obedience to God's law is always accompanied with blessings.
