The story was related by one who was instructor to a conversation between two women, at a funeral service. The deceased had been rated as a very rich man, and many were curious to know the value of his estate. At the funeral service three two women, an older one and a younger one. The younger woman leaned over and ask of the older one, 'How much did he really leave?' The cryptic answer was, 'Why, he left it all!' In this there is a lesson. Men risk their lives in reckless adventure; they consume their strength in struggling for worth; their very souls are bartered for honor and fae. thinge effescent; in stiving for where they, our animoites, make enemies, loose friends, compromise princlries and murder their consciences; then they die, and it is said "He left it all" Trugl, you say, but it is true! Job's comment is, "Naked care into the world and naked shall return" He continued also, "We brought nothing into the world and it is certain that we can carry rothtry out" Jesus is the judge of the 'Rich Pool' who was called 'Fires' meaning rich man, and who rothtry refused breed to the poor man called Lazauus. And these are just a few of the many lessons to the effect that all a man's possessions must be left behind him when he demands this life. When the mighty ones of the earth depart this life great pomp attains their purposes. Individuals vie with one another in efforts to extol the values and estimate the value of the qualities of the devoted ones. But, when they have passed into the realm of silence and shade of each one it will be said "He left it all!" Under such circumstances it would be well to join in the prayer of the saint-wit "So teach u to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." WEEKLY MESSAGE FOR BOYS The Foolish Son That Grieves His Mother. Test: A foulish son is the heaviness of His Mother—Proverbs 10:1 (The Literary Service Bureau) If the veil might be lifted making it possible to look into the hearts of men it would be revealed that the heaviest hearts and those bearing the heaviest burden are the hearts of mothers. This is especially true of the mothers of wayward, incorrigible sons. If these boys could know the full effect of their conduct on their mothers doubtless many of them would make stronger efforts toward reformation. A catalogue of foolish sons who prize their mothers would include drunkard's thirties, dort lads, ganblers, bandits, burglar, voluptu- . tary of The National B. Y P. U. and S. S. Congress, is in Chicago, attending the 50th session — The Golden Jubilee. aries, and those who are not viciously wicked but just stubborn and wayward, head-strong and self-will- at or these, by their waywardness are responsible for grief, sorrow, and inexpressible heaviness affecting the hearts of their mothers. The gambler, ay kill or be killed, The drunkard may loose his own life or, under influence of drink, take the life of another. The bandit and the burglar are ever in imminent danger. The libertine and the unbridled voluptuary are killing themselves by foolish excesses. Penal servitude and prison cells always threaten wayward and incorrigible Boys; and, in these cases premature death in a most cruel, ever foolish, wayward, stubborn, in or above, sinful son, a burden, a terrible burden on the heart of his mother! Boy, LISTEN THE INSPECTOR WAY "You are charged," said the judge, "with beating up this government inspector. What have you to say? "Nothing," replied he grocer. "I am guilty. I lost my heart. All mo- ning I held my temper while govern- ment was impressed. I tasted my butter, smelled my meat, graded my kerosene. In addition, you honor, I had just answered three federal questionnaires. Then this bird comes along and wants to take moving pictures of my cheese, so I pasted him in the eye." --Boston News Purea M.

WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Aug. 15, 1930 VANITY (The Literary Service Dutcau) He was a king, upon his head kissed a jewelled crown, And, as no other, he could boast all honor and tennown; And he is delighted to extol his greatness; yet his most soul tied out, in bitter agony, Moral All is but venom!" Alas. All is but vanity!" He drank unto its very lees, The cup of pleasure, sweet, Dreaming that soon had power to make His happiness complete. Yet, having drunken to his fill, His soul within was thirsty still, And crying out despairingly, "All this is naught but vanity!" So, matters "of what we possess, The measure of our gain, Or what may be the utmost height Of wsdo, we obtain, Le it remembered frustless these The soul immortal to appease- That honor, wealth, prosperity Are, after all, "but vanity!" DEMANDS GOVERNOR PROTEC VLF AND PROPERTY OF NEGROES. NEW YORK, August 8, immediately upon receipt of word of the lynching of two Negroes at Marion, Indiana, charged with murder and rape on the night of August 7, and rumors of threats to burn the Negro section of Marion, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its Acting Secretary Walter White, wired Governor Harry G. Leshe inging that he "utilize every possible resource to protect the lives and property of innocent Negro citizens of Marion and that every effort be made to apprehend and punish to the full extent of the law the murderers who participated in last night's lynchings." The Association also offered the resources of the National Office and of its ten Indiana branches to the end that the lynchers might be apprehended and punished. Through its State Conference of Indiana Branches of which Mrs. W. T. Bailey is President, and through Attorney R. L. Bailey of Indianapolis and others, the N. A. A. C. P. is taking prompt action in the Mission Lynching. In comment upon the Indiana's action Walter White, A time Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. said: These mob murders occurring in a northern state should serve to arouse every decent person, especially Negroes, to a realization of the dangerous growth of lynching within the last few months. The situation is most acute. Fear of the Negro's moreness, especially in the political field as seen in the defeat of Judge Parker, is undoubtedly a factor in these recent unrivals. We must stand firm and refuse to permit ourselves to be intimidated, which seems to be the aim of the mobbists. Invasion by the lyncher of a northern state is disheartening, but we must firmly carry on the fight. It seems certain that federal action is necessary to end their outrages. Y. M. C. A.

Sometimes, you Nordic snobs, one wonders What you will say to brave, black IMPATIENCE I skared a little plot of weeds, I wanted there some garden seeds And, reasoning with candleish mind, I thought the next day I would find my garden seeds in every row, I find sprung up and began to grow. I went again, the second day, And disappeared, turned away, because nowhere could there be seen my plants all growing, fire h, and green; And I was curious to know Just why my garden didn't grow. The third day, when no sign was there Of growing things, and still was bare my gatned, tree, impulses, I seized my hoe, and dog to see- But nothing more I need to tell, Because you know the ending, well. Thus has it been with mary, who Escape something worth while to co, But, soashily refused to wait For consequences ultimate And, by some childish fresh, employed, Hope for a haven great destiny. PATIENCE The writer remembers a minister who ue to say, "Friends, pray for me; pray that I might have patience to work and wait for results, because often I hender and sometimes destroy what I endeavor to do by impatience." And this is true of all humanity. The little poem which precedes this article tells a story of boyhood life, impetuosity and anatience. The story is true! The little garden was planted; and it is true that the childish impatience caused total wreck of bright prospects. And this is an alogous to human life, in general. To a greater or lesser extent, by word and deed, and by means of influence, every individual is constantly planting in the field of life and endeavor. In thousands of instances the reads are good and the soil is fertile, but an in the natural field, the question of time enters into the equation; and it is in this connection that so many fail. In individual effort time is required because physical strength is limited and one must be constantly resisting and recuperating. In collective effort other wins and other capabilities must be considered and reckoned with. The individual's mind must be enlightened, interest engendered, conviction, reused, and consent won. And thus all this requires time. In many instances the work has been progressing splendidly, when impatience soiled everything. The process was slow in all substan e progress. The indications were meagre, as often is the case. But the individual who had been so realous and has planted so hopefully, became impatient when nature seemed slow, and by impatience made negative and u-clears what had been done. Impatience has an important place in captural record, in a virtual requiems and in the record of those who have signed largely in world accomplishments for human betterment. And impatience has reason to file for many disastrous and lamentable failures. MAXIE MILLER WRITES: (The Lorem Ipsum Bureau) There is an aslon which is us.

But, like you, I believe in birth control; and I agree with you that it would be a crime to "bring a whole lot of children into the world" without provision for their support and their training it would be unjust to the mother, whose health might be undermined by the strain; and it would be an injustice to children born under such circumstances. You must have the trouble and the suffering; you must be shut in while he may go out; you must go to the gates of death while he can only sympathize; you will have the midnight and the al-might are while sleeps; and in case of his death you would have the whole burden of support to carry. But, "Undecided," do not go to extremes. Do not over-work both control. Do not say "we have one, or two, and that is enough. Any healthy couple ought to give to the world from three to five children as a contributon. Take care of yourself; use birth control—but do not over-work it. Your, Maxie Miller The mother of Achilles was familiar with the tradition that to be immersed in the river Styx would make one walk on the bank. Accordingly, shortly after his birth she dipped him thereon, holding him by the heel. Achilles grew up, developed into a great warrior and was invaluable until an enemy sent an arrow into his heel and thus ended his life!

KANSAS VOCATIONAL SCHOOL Vocational school scores heavy crop Despite the long dry spell the agricultural department of the Kansas Vocational School has carried on very successfully. The largest crops ever heard of in connection with the school have been reaped during the months of July and August. Without any increase of acreage the school this year harvested 221 bushels of onions. These onions are considered by all who have seen them as the largest and most perfect in Kansas. The on crop yielded 451 bushels and the Irish potatoes yielded 655 bushels. All of these are ranked as he attests into the Kansas Vocational School has ever raised.

The end failure of Saul should be a warning to every young man. Few men in history had greater advantages. 1. Saul's Advantages. 1. A worthy inheritance (9:1). His father was "a mighty man of power." One's inheritance is a strong factor in determining his success or failure in life. 2. His natural gifts (9:2). He was a "choice young man." (1) He was humble (10:22). (1) He is the master of the responsibility of national leadership, he hid himself (2) He was considerate of his father (9:5). Not being successful in the mission committed unto him by his father and thinking that his father would be concerned about him, he proposed to go back. (3) The grace of God was upon him (10:57). God visited him with his grace to enable him to see the divine choice. (4) The Holy Spirit came upon him (10:10). Acceptable service can be rendered only in the energy of the Holy Spirit (5) He was zealous for God (11:41). As the leader of his people, he performed service because of his zeal for God. 3. The friendship of Samuel (15:35). So strong was Samuel's attachment for Soul that he greatly mourned his death. 11. Saul Made King (I Sam. 810). 1. The demand of the people (8:1-22). The reason for this demand was threefold: (1) Samuel was incapacitated by old age (v. 5) (2) His sons were unfaithful (v. 5). Samuel, though a good man, greatly blundered in the appointment of his sons as judges of Israel (3) Desire to be like other nations (v. 5) The surrounding nations had strong leaders as rulers. Therefore, it was but natural that the Israelites should desire such leadership Samuel protested against their action and took the matter to the Lord in prayer. The Lord directed him to point out to the people the meaning of their action. 2. Saul chosen to be king (9:1-11) While Saul was on an errand for his father Samuel found him and anointed him. (I Sam. 10:11 16). In due time the divine choice was con-firmed by the people at Mizpeh. 3. Saul displays leadership (I Sam. 11). He displayed his military genius in effecting a great victory at Jabez over the Ammonites. III. Saul's Failure (ch. 15). 1. The command to Saul (vv 13) He was commanded utterly to destroy the Amalekites. The reason asigned was their evil treatment of Israel after they came out of Egypt (Ex. 17.9; Deut. 23.17). 2. Saul disobedience (vv 4.9) The command was only partially carried out. Agag, the king, was spared and the best of the goods ap proprated. 3. Saul rejected by God (vv 10.25) (1) Samuel cried to God (vv. 11) The news of this disgraceful affair greatly disturbed Samuel, moving him to pray to God day and night (2) Saul's hypocritical pretense (vv. 15, 16). This pretense carried a lie upon its face (3) Samuel rehearses before Saul God's dealing with him (vv. 17.23) God is more concerned with having his commands obeyed than he is to have sacrifices offered unto him IV. The Divine Judgment Falls (15.20-35) 1. The loss of his kingdom For the presumptuous offering of sacrifice the dynasty passed from Saul's house. 2. Under control of the evil spirit (19.011). When allegiance to God is refused Satan takes control 3. His shameful death (31.14) Samuel forsook him, leaving him alone to suffer in disgrace. What Mortal Man Can Do But what can mortal man do to secure his own salvation? Mortal man can do just what God bids him do. He can repent and believe.

Brarer Text: The king had heard the words of the Book of the Law-- 2 Kings 22:11. In this chapter we have the record of a boy who was a king and who did wonderful things; among them was reading the Book of the Law and restoring it to its place of authority and importance among his people. This book had been lost, it was found by Hilkiah, the priest, but it was thru this boy king Iciah, that it was restored. The Bible is everywhere, yet there are many boys to whom the Book of the Law is lost because they will not take time enough to read it is with their rench: it contains beneath great heaps of metal and rubbish, and as far as usefulness is concerned, it is lost. If they will find it read it, understand it. it will affect their lives as did the Book of the Law affect the life of Josiah. Let us follow the analogy: Reading the Book revealed to the king the real condition of the people Reading the Book today will manifest the wickedness, uncover hidden snarls and cause one to realize dangerous conditions. Reading the Book will reveal to every boy his duty--duty toward his parents, to society and toward God. All of this will also rebel God's will and His precious promises. All of this will be found especially and specifically set forth is the 19th Psalm where are found these expressions: "The statutes of the Lord are right" "The testaments of the Lord are true" "The Law of the Lord is perfect" and "The commandments of the Lord are pure, enlightening the eyes."

Today your dollar buys you $1.36 cents worth of electricity based on the 1914 standard. The present electric dollar is worth 78¢ more than it was in 1914, compared to the general level of prices. Which proves only one thing: Your electric company, along with the rest in the industry, has been steadily reducing the cost of service and steadily increasing its value to you. We've doctored your dollar—and made it bigger! DOLLARS are smaller in size, now. And they're really smaller than they were—in terms of what they'll buy!

But, if the higher nature be left exposed ruin is very certain. Man's heart involves his higher life forces. It involves the ethical and elements are secure. Neglected and exposed, they will be destroyed. In this matter of protection no human power is adequate. Divine power is indispensible. Jesus emphasized this when he made the pronouncement, "Except a man be horn from above, he cannot discern the kingdom of God." In the case of Achilles, there was no personal responsibility; but as it concerns humanity, each individual is guardian of his own safety and therefore, arbiter of his own destiny! tio, Saeae|—— tt BS
