Executive Bushes to Scene by Special Train. Gives Mob "A Chance to Lynch Him First." Whites Had Attempted to Prevent Trial of Negro. Murray, Ky., Jan. 11.—In line with his announced intention to give the mob "a chance to lynch the governor of Kentucky first." Governor A. O. Stanley arrived here early today and took charge of the situation growing out of the threats made yesterday by a mob against the lives of Circuit Judge Charles Bush and Commonwealth Attorney Denny Smith. The special train on which Governor Stanley arrived was left standing with steam up, ready to take them from Murray if further demonstrations were made against their lives. Open threats were made on the streets that any attempt to remove Judge Bush from Murray or to prevent the trial of Lube Martin, a negro, charged with killing Guthrie Dugiuid, a white man, would place the governor's own life in danger. It was because of a continuance granted yesterday by Judge Bush, in the case of Martin, that the anger of the mob was aroused. Immediately after the continuance was ordered Martin was spirited out of Murray and taken to-Padueac for safekeeping.

DePriest Named In Graft Charge Chicago, Ill., Jan. 18.—State's Attorney Hoyne last night exploded a new bombshell in his war on police corruption and connivance with the underworld. He exposed a new alleged graft ring—separate and distinct from the West Side ring of which former Chief of Police Healey is charged with being the head. He named Oscar DePriest Negro alderman from the Second ward, one of the spokesmen for the city administration, as being its director. Its operations, he charged, were confined to the big "Black Belt." The tribute it levied on gamblers and saloon-keepers, he charged, totaled thousands. Others named were Capt. Healy, one of the city's best-known policemen; Teenan Jones, politician, gambler and "brains" of the ring; "Big Bill" Lewis and several others. All are colored except Captain Healy. The revelations strike directly into the city hall, where De Priest has been one of the administration leaders and one of the council floor leaders for Mayor Thompson. Negro Prosecutor Aids Mr. Hoyne and Edward E. Wilson, a Négro assistant state's attorney, presented the evidence yesterday before the grand jury, and examined a score of witnesses PARLOR SOCIAL There will be a parlor social of the Woman's Guild, of All Saints Church at the residence of Mrs. Wm. Maxwell, 4288a Lucky, Thursday evening, January 25. Dancing and refreshments. Admission, 10 cents. Mrs. Mattie Grady, Chairman. Mrs. J. Shipton, secretary.

Was Re-elected to Office by Large Majority. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People on December 30, presented a loving cup to Sherman Eley, county sheriff at Lima, O. The trophy was given in recognition of Sheriff Eley's bravery in defending a colored man accused of a crime or misdemeanor from being lynched by a mob of white people. This is the first time that a sheriff of any county has been so honored, it is said. The inscription on the loving cup reads, "For devotion to duty in defending a colored prisoner from lynching, enduring torture and insult, that the majesty of the law might be upheld, at Lima, Aug. 30, 1916." The presentation of the cup was made by Governor Frank B. Willis before a crowd that filled the Second Baptist Church. He said that the world loves and appreciates a man who stands squarely with a heart unafraid and his face to the front at times of stress and that public appreciation never is small for the faithful official who stands for the administration of the law and the enforcement of justice. The sheriff was too moved to say more than simple thanks in accepting the cup. Prior to the presentation, however, he told friends that what he had done hardly called for action by the Advancement Association, because he had only done his duty. As a result of the Lima riot many arrests were made, some of the indictments being against well known citizens. Several of these have been sent to prison on charges of having attempted to lynch. Other cases are pending. A colored man of the name of Daniels has been given a penitentiary sentence. Sheriff Eley, at the last election was returned to office by a big majority. Dr. J..H. Crooks At Lane Tabernacle THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL SERVICE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 3 P. M. FOR YOUNG@PEOPLE, CONDUCTED BY GREAT EVANGELIST The pastor, Rev. N. L. Smith, and members of Lane Tabernacle C. M. E. Church, 3966 Fairfax Ave., are engaged in a great battle against sin and Satan. The Rev. J. H. Crooks, of Clarksville, Tenn., though a young man, is one of the greatest evangelists of his day. He is wonderful in his delivery and powerful in his speech. Rev. Crooks has served several charges in Tennessee and Kentucky and has been the means of bringing many souls to Christ through his great gift of preaching. This Gospel preacher and evangelist will have charge of the meeting. His songs are full of religious fervor which carries with it the proper touch which stirs the hardest heart. Dr. Crooks will preach Sunday at 11 a. m. Subject, "The Gateway into the Kingdom." At 3 p. m. there will be a special service held for the young people, conducted by Dr. Crooks, assisted by Dr. Smith. The subject at this hour will be "Customs of Jesus." All the young people are especially invited to attend this service. At 8 p. m. Dr. Crooks will preach, using for his subject "The great day." There will be a special prayer service every afternoon at 3 o'clock. Let every member and Christian join in and help fight sin and crime in this great and wicked city. On last Tuesday night a very enthusiastic and interesting church conference was held. After the adjournment, the pastor, president of Steward Board, and Board, Stewardess Board No. 2 were highly entertained by Stewardess Board No. 1. All left, having spent a pleasant and profitable evening. NOBLES OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE A grand reception was tendered Noble I. H. Bradbury, retiring Potentate of Medinah Temple 39, January 6, 1917, at Masonic Hall by the Nobles of this city. During the administration of Noble Bradbury this order, Locally, had a phenomenal growth in membership, and every shriner felt proud to honor such a Noble. One of the largest gatherings in the history of the Temple were present to give their Old Sheka, their retiring officer, the glad E. Alaam Slam-Pooh. A four-course menu was served with cigars and a few other trimmings. Secure a nice, warm, furnished room for the winter. Consult the Advertising columns in the Argus. Y.W.C.A. NATIONAL WORKERS MEET Week Spent at Wheatley Branch in Real Work for Uplift and Spiritual Development. Miss Eva D. Bowles, International Secretary. January the sixth we were awakened by a gentle tapping on our chamber door which told us that our looked-for friend and visitor, Miss Eva D. Bowles, had come. GREAT AWAKENING AT CENTRAL BAN Big Men's Mass Meeting at T D'Clock Sunday. Special Sermon Women Sunday Morning. The long-expected soul-winning pignon has started at the Co Church, Ewing and Washington A nnes. Dr. A. C. Powell, of New Y the noted evangelist, preached his sermon of the series on last We Sunday began the real spirit of the Educational Institute which lasted throughout the week and is still afame. Tuesday morning the members and friends gathered in the parlor to listen to Miss Bowles' message on "Membership." The new faces seemed to catch the first deep draught of inspiration which followed throughout the meeting. There was a great awakening in this meeting and questions which had hovered in the minds and puzzled many, poured forth bringing a better understanding of real Association Membership. This meeting was repeated at four o'clock for those who could not be present in the morning. Wednesday brought a getting together on "Association Purpose" which was equally as interesting as the first. The purpose of bringing all women to a knowledge of Jesus Christ and how to fulfill that purpose was clearly brought out. In the Thursday meetings "Association Responsibility" was discussed, which made a deep impression and everyone went away feeling a deeper responsibility for the association and its great purpose. Mrs. Walter Cannon held a community parlor meeting on Friday morning in which we emphasized how the people of the community might become more acquainted with the "Association Purpose" and prepare themselves to meet the needs of all the people of the community, thereby sharing in this great world movement for the welfare of girls and women. Another parlor meeting was held in Mrs. Frank Williams' home on Saturday afternoon and a deep interest was shown in the grouping of women after the general discussion to work out problems that were presented in the discussions of the week. We are planning to continue these parlor meetings in the different communities. We are sure that this institute has meant a great deal to all who attended and we want the spirit that it created to keep alive throughout the year. We believe that the women now feel that the work should be shared by all the women of every community, and it can come into its own or fill its place in the community only so far as every woman shares it. We shall then come to realize that we are a part of the greatest organization in the world for women. Beginning February the first there will be given at Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. a course in housekeeping. The first ten applicants may have the training free of charge. All others will be required to pay five dollars for twelve lessons or fifty cents for one.

"SALAMBO" NEXT WEEK "SALAMBO" NEXT WEEK $600 A YEAR This is the Record J. D. Wilkerson Argus Newsboy, Expects to Make in 1917. Present Income $569.40 or $45 a Month. 1 JOHN D. WILKERSON A little over two years ago, J. D. Wilkerson started selling the Argus on the streets of St. Louis, with very little encouragement except a live, newsy weekly paper and a determination to succeed. He began by selling 10 copies a week but has continued to increase that number, by adding a few more customers each week until he now handles nearly four hundred copies each week. It only requires a little more than a day to dispose of his lot. Considering the very short time required the job looks easy, but it requires intelligence and tact to sell that many Negro newspapers on the street, almost in one day. Many boys, some older and some younger, have tried and failed. One boy is selling his 15 each week just as he did two years ago. Fifty Dollars a Month is the goal he expects to reach this year, an amount that many men are working for in St. Louis, giving all of their time. How He Does It The method is simple; in the first place, young Wilkerson is ambitious and industrious. He is courteous in his treatment of his customers and at all times sees that they receive the Argus each week. He also keeps a list of his customers. He is a pupil in the High School of this city and is well up in his studies. He has a bright prospect for a useful career. CARONDELET NEWS Mr. H. G. Parris departed Inst. Wednesday night for his home, New York City.

Mrs. Maggie White, an old resident of Carondelet has moved from West Belle to her old home, 6109 Idaho. She says this is the garden spot of St. Louis. She was also heard singing, "There is no place like home—Home, Home, Sweet Home." On Friday, January 5, Mrs. Geo. Johnson entertained in honor of her niece, Viola Taylor, with a whist and a dance. The younger set wore out in a mass. At a wee hour all departed having spent a very pleasant evening.

PRICE 5 GENTS Most Magnificent and Wonderful Six Reel Picture Ever Produced, Will Be Shown At The Booker Washington Theatre Next Week Beginning Jan. 22. Matinees Daily Beginning Monday, With Other Pictures, General Admission 10c. Night Shows With Vaudeville at Regular Prices. "Salambo" a most magnificent and wonderful six-reel photoplay will be shown at the Booker Washington Theatre all next week with daily matinees, beginning at 2 o'clock. This picture, which it is said cost a half million dollars to produce, features a Negro in the leading role of "Spendius." The scene is laid in Carthage. Salambo, daughter of Amilcar, ruler of Carthage, and Priestess of Tanit, is the keeper of the Sacred Veil, "on which human eyes must not gaze." She falls in love with Matho, a slave, who becomes the leader of a band of mercenaries, fighting for Carthage, against Rome. Matho steals the Sacred Veil and Salambo is ordered by he priests to reclaim it. The lovers meet in Matho's tent and Salambo revokes the Sacred Veil. Matho is made prisoner by the Carthaginians through the treachery of Narr Havas, who is rewarded by Amilcar for his treachery by the hand of his daughter, Salambo. Matho escapes from prison and death: and the Oracle of Tanit is made to declare, by the instrumentality of Spendius, Matho's faithful slave, that Matho is acceptable to the God and will one day govern Carthage. Salambo, who has protested against her marriage to Narr Havas, whom she does not love, is thereupon given by Amilcar, her father, to Matho, and the marriage ceremony is celebrated with much pomp. This great photoplay will be run in connection with other pictures at daily matinees, beginning Monday, for 10 cents admission. The night shows will start at 6 o'clock and the picture, with one of the best vaudeville shows ever booked at this house, will be shown at the regular prices. Y.M.C.A.

THE LIMA, OHIO, SHERIFF The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has awarded a gold medal to Sheriff Ely of Lima, Ohio, for his courageous stand in protecting a Negro prisoner from a mob. This officer of the law has set a good example for others to follow. He put his own life in the breach, suffered tortures and assaults of an angry man rather than violate his oath of office.

The people have more confidence in him now than ever before. He has raised himself in their estimation, and the public opinion of the world is ready to reward him. It required bravery to withstand a mob, and in awarding the gold medal the N. A. A. C. P. did not do it for what they expect him to do in the future nor to bribe him to do his duty, but as a reward for bravery. A Carnegie medal has been suggested for Sheriff Ely. And while his great service was not rendered directly to the Colored race, it was a valuable service to his (the white) race. The names of the members of the mob will soon be forgotten, except as their names are called in the penal institutions of their state or when their names are mentioned as "convicts." But the name of Sheriff Ely will always be lauded and honored as a hero who saved the Buckeye State from disgrace. WE CAN'T RUN THE NEGRO OUT OR KEEP HIM OUT Ever and anon we get inklings of the second sober thought of the American white man which shows that, at heart, he is nearly all right. You would hardly believe but the other week the U. S. Senate rejected Senator Reed's amendment to the immigration bill excluding natives of Africa as immigrants to the United States. The vote was 37 to 32 against it. The West Indies exclusion was lost also and our Missouri Misrepresentative utterly failed in excluding Negroes, either natives of Africa or the West Indies from immigrating to the United States. We, the Negroes of the United States, are charter members; we are in on the founder's day and have established an ineffaceable claim to our citizenship which cannot be destroyed. The Negro is here to stay. He is an inalienable citizen, and has a claim that has not been weakened by treasonable acts, which has been the the case with some of the supporters and ancestors of the Negro hating Senator of Missouri. We American Negroes have no flag but the American flag; that is our flag, our army, our navy, our constitution and our glory. It was not made such by poetic sentiment, but by bloody deeds, we did not gain this by a Fourth of July oration, but on such battlefields as New Orleans and San Juan. The Negro in America must take his stand and not budge an inch. He must insist on Americanism: He may be robbed of his labor but not of his claims and rights. He must push to the front in all movements for America's gain and power. He need constantly remind the white American than he is an American also and insist on being counted in all movements bringing honor to the nation.

Butler. 55 YEARS A CHRISTIAN The funeral of Mrs. Martha Jane Rogers, which was held at Providence Baptist Church Sunday, January 14, at 10 o'clock, a.m., marked an epoch in a long and unbroken continuity of Christian faith. Mrs. Rogers came to St. Louis in 1843 when she was only eleven years old. She joined the Christian Church in 1862 and in 1903 became a member of the First Baptist Church. Later she became a charter member of Providence Baptist Church where she retained her membership until her death. It will thus be seen that for fifty-five years she was a devout Christian and one who never swore from the path of righteousness during more than a half century of living years. Mrs. Rogers passed away at the home of Mrs. Mary Mayo, her cousin, in Alton, Ill., Sunday, January 7, at 11:45 a.m. The funeral was under the aspicles of the Daughters of Elizabeth and The Lady Porters the two societies of which she has been a member for upward of forty years. Rev. E. Calvin Cole, pastor of Providence Baptist Church, officiated and the interment was in Greenwood. A feature of the ceremonies was the music rendered by the choir and the solo, "Flee As A Bird," rendered by Mrs. Austin. "'Servant of God, well done; Rest from thy loved employ; ob 2050. Two Second Side The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy. "The voice at noonday came; She started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced her frame; She fell, but felt no fear. "The pain of death are past, Labor and sorrow cause; A life's long warfare closed at last Her soul is found in peace. "'Servant of Christ, well done; Praises be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour's joy. IN MEMORIAM IN MEMORIAN Mrs. Williams Dies At Booneville, Mo. MOTHER OF CHAR. G. WILLIAMS PASSES AWAY AT THE AGE OF SEVENTY-ONE Mrs. Mary T. Williams was born near Spencerburg, Pike Co., February 9, 1845, died in Boonville, Mo., Janu- ary 13, 1915, at 6:10 a.m. Agree, 56 years, 13 months, 11 days. Had she lived until February 9 she would have been 72 years old. She was married to Mr. Thomas Williams, March 9, 1861, and lived happily in this union 55 years, 10 months, 4 days. To this union was born one son, Charles G. Williams. She leaves a husband, son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, Estelle who was married December 26, 1918, to R. K. Bruce, of Chicago. Her son, Charles, brought her to Boonville, December 3, to attend this wedding, but she continued to weaken, and on the evening of the wedding her condition became serious, and she was unable to witness the ceremony. She also leaves three nephews, Mr. Grant Peak, Mr. Tom Peak, Mr. Walter Sutton, sister-in-law, Mrs. Frances Howard of Frankford. She united with the white Methodist Church at Spencersburg under Rev. Jesse Sutton, in 1858. She continued her membership in this church until she went in the organization of the A. M. E. Church by Rev. Madison Corbin, at Frankford, Mo., 1866, where she was an active member and an energetic worker in the Master's cause until the close of her life. It was her practice to keep every obligation of her church and to meet every financial requirement, as laid down in its discipline. Mrs. Mat. Williams is the only surviving member of the latter organization. Mrs. Mary Williams was a charter member of Hope Court No. 82, Frankford, of which she was treasurer from that time until two years ago, when failing health caused her to resign the office. She was a great help to the community, always ready to respond to a call of distress no matter by whom made nor when made. Hers was a life of service. In fact, Christianity meant "service" to her. Her reputation for good deeds was not limited to the community in which she lived, but extended throughout Pike County. Hers was truly a life worthy of emulation. Weep not for her! Her memory is the shrine Of pleasing thoughts, soft as the scent of flowers, Calm as on windless eve the sun's decline, Sweet as the song of birds among the bowers, Rich as a rainbow with its hues of light, Pure as the moonshine of an autumn night! Weep not for her! Weep not for her! There is no cause for woe; But rather nerve the spirit that it walk. Unshrinking o'er the thorny paths below; And from earth's low defilements keep thee back; So when a few fleet severing years have flown, She'll meet thee at heaven's gate, and lead thee on; Weep not for her. Before leaving for Frankford for the funeral and interment, a short service, consisting of prayer scripture reading and singing, was conducted by Rev. J. H. Allen, of the A. M. E. Church and Rev. H.

There are sermons in stones—also ice cream in bricks. Everybody knows how everybody else ought to do things. A man isn't necessarily two-faced because he has a double chin. When a woman hasn't any more to say she is willing to let a man talk. Don't follow in the footsteps of competitors; set the pace. A woman's tongue is often responsible for her shortness of breath. Some men get rich while others are waiting for bigger opportunities. If a woman's homely she always knows it; but it's different with a man. If there is any question, nine times out of a possible ten it's good policy not to. Ventilation By DR. SAMUEL G. DIXON Commission of Health of Pennsylvania The question of proper ventilation during the winter months is one which it is quite difficult for many people to solve. It is apparent to almost everybody that the admission of pure air is necessary if efficient work is to be performed in office and school and if refreshing sleep is desired by night. The fresh air does not de- it is quite difficult for many people to solve. It is apparent to almost everybody that the admission of pure air is necessary if efficient work is to be performed in office and school and if refreshing sleep is desired by night. The fresh air does not depend upon the temperature and can be supplied by a proper heating and ventilating system. The opening of windows while it admits the fresh air, often causes drafts which are uncomfortable, not to say injurious. Where a number of people are occupied in a room it is often a cause of subjecting one or two to exposure if the windows are opened to secure ventilation. This can be avoided by an ample supply of warmed air. Numerous devices, more or less expensive, have been placed on the market but are not always satisfactory. The most economical and at the same time probably the most efficient ventilating device is one made of glass or wood eight or ten inches in height and made the width of the sash. This should be placed under the sash with a slant from the bottom to the top at an angle of 45 degrees, leaving an opening at the top covered with cheese cloth. Ventilators of this sort are so simple that they can be made at small cost anywhere and the covering can be readily replaced. They are suitable for office and school room, living rooms and bed rooms. They permit reasonable ventilation without too great a loss of heat and prevent that stiffness of atmosphere which is dangerous to health and destructive to real comfort during the winter months. This device leaves an opening between the upper and lower sash through which the used air of the room may Walking Chalkline.

Kyles, Bishop of the Seventh Episcopal institute, of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Bishop Kyles has conducted some of the most successful revivals in the history of the church. This is his first attempt in a meeting of this kind in the city of St. Louis. Being the only residential Bishop of our race in the city, it is believed that the citizens of our great city will appreciate the effort that Bishop Kyles is putting forth to get in touch with the lowly and the unsaved and the down-and-outs, as well as reaching the high and lofty. Bishop Kyles feels that his chief mission in the world is to help save the un His first sermon will be Sunday morning. He will continue then every evening during the revival. The church is being thoroughly organized to assist in this great meeting. We are calling for volunteer workers to assist in this great movement. Some great questions to be settled in the 4 o'clock afternoon meetings will be as follows: 1. What is meant by effectual, fervent prayer! 2. The necessity of the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a preparation for Christian work. 3. What is repentance? 4. Will God heat a sinner pray? 5. Shall we know our relatives in heaven, if we know them here? The Metropolitan Brotherhood has been thoroughly organized upon permanent basis and it is destined to meet the ever-increasing needs of a great and growing metropolitan church. It has reached the proportion to give sick benefits to the amount of $2.50 per week, as long as the occasion demands and to give $25 toward the funeral expenses of a brother. That gives the church its place in the world of charity. The womanhood of our church will soon be organized into a similar organization. Rev. Shaw, the pastor, feels that the hard-worked women and men of the church, who are giving their time and money must be cared for in the midst of their illness and the unfortunate conditions that might come to them. The Brotherhood will have lunch on Monday evening at the close of the revival service that they might have a greater acquaintance and fellowship with one another.

NEW PENSION LAWS 2117 Market St. THIS STAR ON EVERY HEEL For Sale Do you think because you fall me, And draw back your hand today. That from out the heart I gave you My strong love can fade away? What would any man think of a man who came, courting his sister, season in and out out, but never made any pretentions of being a marrying man? That's the situation in many a family where young men have been calling for a year or more. The reason for not speaking out is often justifiable. The man may be waiting for a raise in his salary, or a score of other good reasons. Being sure that the girl he is [Name] calling on regularly is in love with him, he considers it justifiable to wait until he is good and ready to propose. It is a decided shock to such a lagard to see a stranger step in and in no time win the girl from before his very eyes. He has only himself to blame. There are a few little things about girls that men should remember. One is that their interest is keenest in a young man during the stage of their earliest acquaintance. After a girl has summered and wintered a man and he has not proposed, her interest begins to dwindle. She looks upon him Milk As a "Bracer" By DAVID STONE KELSEY The Pasteur institute of Paris makes the declaration that one of the most powerful stimulants known is milk. It has been in use for months now as the one stimulant for the French soldiers in the trenches, and its effect on them has amply justified the statement made by the famous institute in regard to it. Milk has been used liberally to stimulate the French soldiers before they go into battle and its effects have been such that the French government has urged the sale of milk in preference to other soft drinks behind the trenches when the soldiers go off duty for their spells of rest and recreation. That the qualities of stimulation should be demonstrated on the fighting men should commend the beverage to those engaged in the pursuits of peace in those parts of the world where Mars does not now rule. While alcohol may fire the brain and dull the sensibilities and thus impart a false courage, milk, according to the learned scientists of the Pasture institute, performs the work of keying up the individual without affecting the keenness of his senses or the coolness of his judgment. High courage and a clear perception of what they are doing is necessary for the best work in all the arts and professions, as well as in the handicrafts and in trade. This fluid hitherto has been considered synonymous with all that is mild and peaceful. Advocates of preparedness have referred to "these milk-and-water pacifiers." The "milk of human kindness" has no suggestion of powerful stimulation. But science has discovered, among its many wonders, that the patient cow has put a punch in milk that necessitates the addition of no product of the still to make itself felt on the human system. It has discovered a new and a harmless "bracer." Ancient Shrine Is Found. One of the most important archeological discoveries of recent years has just been made at Gounou near the vale of Tempe in Thessaly. The archeological society has just unearned what is plainly a sanctuary to the Goddess Artemis and among the articles found on the spot are some of the most remarkable votive offerings yet discovered. One hundred and thirty-eight marble shafts hear inscriptions, from which it is plain that the shrine was devoted to Artemis as a goddess of childbirth. "Artemis genitrix." Iron Duke's Doctor Still Living. It is rather bewildering to read in these days that one of the Iron Duke's medical attendants is still alive. Yet it is a fact. The victor of Amaya and Waterloo died in 1652, and it was in the year before that he was attended by a very young medical man attached to one of the London hospitals. Recently the doctor in question, Dr. Henry P. Holland, celebrated his eight-seventh birthday at Godalming—London Globe. as a friend, and begins to cast sheep's eyes on other men as possible beaux. No man should be too sure of a girl's love until he has placed a betrothed ring on her finger. Even then, he should see that the marriage is not put off too long. "A pretty girl once had one of these leggard lovers of whom she thought a great deal. But pop the question he would not. Her aunt advised her not to waste'time with him. At an afternoon affair, to which she had gone with girl friends, she met a new admirer, who escorted her home. They encountered the old beau. His jealousy was straightway aroused. The sight of her with another showed him how dear she was to him. The question faced him as to what life would be without her if another won her. He called that evening and lost no time in asking her to be his wife, declaring that an open confession was good for the soul. He had been too sure of her and because of that came near losing her. The wise girl does not devote all of her time to one caller. She treats him as she finds him—simply as a friend—until he has given her reason to be assured otherwise. There would be no long-drawn-out courtships which end in parting if girls pursued this plan. Men are at fault in calling upon one girl steadily when they have no serious intentions of matrimony. If they call upon many young women, making no secret of the fact, no one mailed is apt to build her hopes upon them, only to be disappointed at last. In Doubt "Do your views on public questions meet with your wife's favor?" "I've never been able to find out," answered Mr. Twobble. "Whenever I voice an opinion my wife merely hums a little tune. I don't know whether she does that to express disapproval, or merely to show that she isn't listening and doesn't intend to." Not Worth Mentioning. "Tommy, you've been fighting again." "I'd hardly call it that, ma." "But I saw you through the window. You struck that little Gilthers boy." "An' knocked 'im out the first lick. It takes two scrappers to make a fight, ma." Tough Luck.

SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Library, Chicago. (Copyright, 1911, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for January 21 FIRST DISCIPLE OF THE LORD JESUS LESSON TEXT—John 1:32-49. GOLDEN TEXT—Jesus saith unto him, follow me.—John 1:43. The words "I see" or "behold" occur fifteen times in this first chapter. John was a witness to the Son of Man. This term, "Son of Man," occurs eighty times in the gospel. The words "Come and see," or their equivalents, occur nine times in this lesson. This is a great invitation lesson. It would be interesting if the scholars would tell what the voices are which say, "Come," and those which are urging them to "stay" away from God. Bethabara was probably two miles from the fords of the Jordan, where John baptized. Jesus was thirty years old, just entering upon his ministry. Tiberius Caesar was the emperor and Pontifex Maximus. Fountius Plate the governor of Judex. I. The Son of Man Attracts Men. (vv. 35-39) not by his ethical teachings nor alone by his works and his character, but what he was and inspired in others attracted men to Jesus (John 10: 41). Crowds still gathered around the baptist who "changed the hearts of men as by a spell." John, the Baptist, brought terror to men. He broke through the crust of self-righteousness and indifference, and campelled men to see their need of forgiveness and of a new life, but the time had come when John must step aside, and Jesus "to increase," to begin his ministry. Four successive days are noticed in this chapter. Andrew (v. 40), and doubtless the apostle John, who wrote this account, were the two disciples (v. 35) to whom John, the Baptist, speaks. It is interesting to note the different kinds of men who were attracted to Jesus; the aggressive Peter, the reflective Thomas, the practical Judas. He had what the souls of men needed, and they followed him. Aware of their questioning, Jesus turns to them with the question: "What think yet?" the first recorded words of his public ministry. This is a great testing question of every man's life. What is the aim and purpose of your life? Jesus, the kingdom of God, goodness, righteousness, usefulness or on the other hand selflessness, worldiness, success, ambition, money, pleasure? These disciples who had listened to this testimony of the baptist, replied that they wanted to know where he dwelt, implying that they would like to talk with him and discuss the problems which were arising in their minds. Three steps of Christian experience are here suggested. These two disciples hagged, they looked and they followed. Other steps must come shortly, but we must first look at Jesus as the Lamb, if we are to follow him as our example. We must believe what he has done (Rom. 3:25) before we can ask what would Jesus do or try to imitate him. It is by following that we demonstrate that we have really looked unto him and been saved. 11. The Son of Man Cares for His Own. (vv. 30-42). The instruction which they received from abiding with him impelled them, as we have already indicated, to go out and spread the good news. The greatest act in the life of Andrew was the bringing of his brother Peter to Jesus. Jesus changed Peter's name, and gave him a prophecy of his future life and career. He saw the possibilities within him, though it took much instruction, bitter experiences, prayer and long abiding with Jesus before he attained to those possibilities. It is this passage which gave rise to the organization of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which has adopted, first, the "Rule of Prayer," that of daily prayer for the spread of Christ's kingdom among young men; second, "The Rule of Service," to make an earnest effort each week to bring at least one young man within the hearing of the gospel of Jesus Christ. On the morrow Jesus would go forth to Galilee, that is to the East side, across the Jordan river, and on the way he found Philip. It was Philip who asked the question "Show us the Father," and of whom the question was asked as to the resources sufficient to feed the hungering multitude (John 6:5). John, the Evangelist, alone tells us about Philip. Philip saw not only the resources of Jesus, but he saw a union of the law of the prophets (v. 45) in this Jesus, and therefore could and did invite his brother to Jesus. Christianity would soon fill the earth Christianity would soon fill the earth if Christians would put forth the personal effort here suggested. Nathaniel (v. 46) repeated a proverb of the country, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip's reply was: "Come and see," and to his amazement Jesus reveals not only his character but his supernatural power; whereupon Nathaniel's reply was: "Then act the Son of God, the King of Israel" (v. 49). Jesus seeing his faith, promised that he should see still greater things (vv. 50, 51). Everybody in this issue was found Jesus seemed to go at once for someone else, and through some were scape-tical, yet their scepticism ended, even as Nathaniel's, in following him. --- By REV. W. W. KETCHUM Director of the Practical Work Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT—Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you—John 14:27. To know that Jesus left a legacy of peace for us is the first step in its possession. Some years ago in Chicago a juke layer, earning five dollars a day at his trade, received word that he was heir to a vast estate left by his two granduncles in Australia. The knowledge of this fact was the first thing necessary in securing possession of the fortune. In ignorance of it, he might have labored on for the rest of his life with his trowel. So it is with the legacy of peace PETER H. Christ has left; the first thing we need to know, if we would possess it, is that he has left it for us. Ignorant of this fact; we would fail to take possession of our inheritance. How true it is, that it is not what one has, but what one knows he has that makes him rich. And, we can well add, and what he takes possession of. It is evident from Christ's words announcing this legacy that it is a twofold peace. He speaks of leaving peace and giving his peace. These cannot be one and the same thing, for Christ is never guilty of redundancy. The peace Christ left us must be the peace which he made for us by the blood of his cross; that which Paul calls, "Peace with God." This we know was effected for us by Christ upon the cross, and became ours when we accepted him as our Savior. It is an allenable possession, a blessed, unalterable fact, that we have peace with God, if Christ is ours. But what now of this other peace which Christ gives? He expressly calls it "my peace." By this, he must mean the peace which he possessed and which filled his own life; not an outward calm, but an inward quietness. Away down in the sea, those who dredge its depths tell us there is what is called the cushion. No matter how wildly the wind blows on the surface, nor how tempestuous the waves, down there at the cushion of the sea is an absolute calm. This, it seems to me, represents the peace of Christ. It was the inner quietude of his heart, though his life was swept by storm. This peace, which was Christ's, he bequeathes to us. What else can it be, but the peace spoken of by the Apostle as "the peace of God which passeth all understanding." (Phil. 4:7.) It must be that, for who can understand the quiet poise of a suffering child of God? It is beyond understanding, yet many a child of God with yielded life has said with one of old, "though he slay me, yet will I trust him." But how can this peace be possessed? First, by possessing peace with God. There is no use trying to have the second peace. If one does not have the first. Peace with God makes possible the peace of God. The first peace is the portion of every one who truly has made Christ his Savior. It is his whether he feels it or not; and to know if he possesses it, he should look not to his feelings, but to the fact that Christ has made peace by the blood of his cross and that he by faith has accepted Christ and the peace which he made. The second peace, namely, the peace of God may be the portion of every believer. It is possessed not by trying, but by trusting. It comes when one yields fully his life to Christ and relies upon him. Do that and though the storms beat about the head, and the heavens seem ready to fall, the mind will be kept by the peace of God through Christ Jesus. The prophet Isaias expresses this truth (20:3) when he says: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee." That is it; the mind stayed on the Lord Jehovah experiences the keeping power of him who is everlasting strength. There comes to my heart one sweet strain. A glad and a joyous refrain. I sing it again and again. Stalwart character, that invaluable possession which, partly because it is an invisible possession, often is hard to understand, is just the net result of daily devotion to duty. Character is the total effect on oneself of one's daily thoughts, words, and actions. When for any period, character is deteriorating; when they rise above the past, stalwart character is in the making. One's First Duty. Of all the duties, the love of truth, with faith and constancy in it, ranks first and highest. To love God and to love truth are one and the same—Silvio Pellicci. THE ST.
