SCHOOLS FOR COLORED ARE OVERCROWDED Ten Thousand Negro Children In School. This Number Will Be Reported To School Board Next Tuesday. Over One Thousand More Than Any Previous Year. Sumner High Makes Large Gain. Additional Building Immediately Necessary. Old Lincoln School At Twenty-third and Walnut Probable. 188 At the sound of the gong last Tuesday morning a record breaking crowd of youngsters, youtha, lasses and misses were ushered into the public schools of St. Louis to begin another nine month's study. The Colored children attracted unusual attention because of the large number in attendance. Simmons, Banneker and L'Ouverture Schools were overcrowded by the end of the first week. The School Board Active While it has been generally believed that there would be an unusually large number of children in attendance at the opening this fall the Board of Education could not anticipate just where the congestion would be the greatest. However, after the first day, when it was reported that over one thousand more children enrolled, this year than last, the board got busy to relieve the situation. It was first reported that the John Marshall school building at Pendleton and Lucky Sts., would be used for Colored children, but it was learned that this was not practicable at the present time. When questioned by an Argus reporter, as to what had been done to relieve the crowded condition among the Colored children, Prof. Bryant, assistant superintendent, stated that the Board of Education was awake to the situation and another school for the children would soon be opened, but he could not say just now in what neighborhood. It is generally known, however, that the Lincoln School building at 23rd and Walnut Sts., will be selected for the Colored children as the white children in that district have been moved to the Pope School. The opening of this school to the Colored children will necessitate a new principal and a number of teachers, in addition to the already 9 principals and 179 teachers as follows: Banneker School Edward S. Williams, Principal; Rosetta P. Reynolds, Mildred Buck, Arminta M. Parker, myrene Casey, Anna B. Thomas, Julia Thomas, Mamie E. Hall, Eleanor Johnstone, Catherine R. White, A.

According to the statement given out by Mr. Bryant, assistant superintendent, who has charge of the High schools, those teachers who went to the Officers Training Camp, were given leave of absence with the understanding, that if they failed to receive commissions in the army, their places as teachers would be open to them, when they return. The three Sumner High teachers at training camp are: Benj. H. Mosby, W. A. Giles and John R. Pinkett.

Condemns Hypocrisy on the Part of Those in Authority. Praises Col. Theodore Roosevelt for His Brave Stand. Commends State Officials. We yearn intensely for the day when the world shall be "safe for democracy," when men may be men the world over, freed from caste, political discrimination, oppression of every sort, and prejudice; when men everywhere shall enjoy the inalienable rights of "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness," with equal opportunities for education and labor, with free-for-all incentives for personal and racial development, with equal justice to all and malice toward none. We most respectfully urge that consistency demands that as we preach democracy, we shall practice it at home. We cannot make the world safe for democracy unless our country is safe for democracy. Unless every man in America shall have a man's chance, America's plea for world democracy shall, because of our inconsistency, be the occasion of our humiliation. The seas must not only be safe for travel, but likewise every bypath in America. We unreservedly condemn crime of every nature, whether found in our race or others, and we put ourselves squarely on record against the vicious criminal class. At the same time we lift our voices in condemnation of lynching and mob rule, believing as we do that such practices undermine good government, promote insecurity of all, and are a serious reflection on our Christian civilization. The recent occurrences that have made East St. Louis, Memphis, and Abbeville black spots in America have also brought us to shame throughout the world. The failure to punish adequately the perpetrators of these crimes has emboldoned them until many of our people in some parts of the country live in constant fear and uneasiness by day and by night. We desire to commend state and county officials in all parts of the country who, in the exercise of their offices, seek to protect the lives of prisoners and thwart the purposes of the mob. We record our hearty appreciation and sincere gratitude to the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt for his eloquent and forceful words recently delivered condenatory of mob rule and lawlessness, which words sent a thrill throughout the nation and the world and were particularly heartening to our people. We especially desire to commend the attitude taken on lynching by the Hon. Sidney J. Catts, Governor of Florida, and the Hon. Augustus O. Stanley, Governor of Kentucky. N.A.A.C.P.Report William H. Peck, Chairman, William H. Huffman, Sec'y Treas. Sept. 5, 1917.

UNDERTAKER RUSSELL DIES Pioneer Business Man Passes Away After a Lingering Illness. Funeral at Union Memorial Church Sunday. Deceased Was a Religious and Fraternal Worker and Identified With Movements for Race Advancement. Anderson Russell, St. Louis' pioneer Undertaker, died Sunday, August 2 at 1:25 p. m. after an illness lasting more than a year. Mr. Russell had been improving and his relatives and friends were hopeful of his recovery, but since the death of his mother, Mrs. Catherine Russell, in Alton, July 8, he took a relapse and gradually grew worse until death relieved him of his suffering at the age of 53. Mr. Russell entered the undertaking business with W. G. Gordon, in St. Louis in the year 1894. The first location of the firm was in the Fourteen hundred block on St. Charles Street. The partnership was dissolved in 1902, each continuing the business individually. Mr. Russell's business had been a success, gradually developing until he owned and occupied the spacious establishment at the southeast corner of Pine and Lefflingwell, where he died. He was a member of the Masons, Pythians, Odd Fellows, U. B. F., Elks and several benevolent societies. He was always public spirited and was identified with all movements for the advancement of his fellow men. Although not actively engaged in politics, he was the Progressive candidate for the House of Delegates, from his ward in 1913. Mr. Russell leaves to mourn their loss a wife, Mrs. Pricella Russell; three sisters; Mrs. Martha Toney, of Alton, Ill.; Mrs. Amy Westfall, Chesterfield, Mo., and Miss Anna K. Russell, St. Louis. Three brothers: Dudley R., St. Louis; William, Chicago, and Joel, Alton. Ill. Also eight nieces and seven nephews. The body will lie in state at the undertaking parlors, 2732 Pine, where it can be viewed, from Saturday at 9 a.m., until the time of the funeral, Sunday. The services will be held at the Union Memorial M. E. Church, Leffingwell and Pine, Sunday at 2 p.m., of which church he was a member of the Trustee Board. The interment will be at Alton, Ill., Monday afternoon. The funeral will be held under the auspices of the J. Q. Johnson Lodge of Masons, No. 30. W. C. Gordon will have, charge of the remains and Rev. B. F. Abbott will officiate at the ceremony. MORRIS AND MORRIS OPEN CONFECTIONERY AT 20 N. EWING AV. One of the most inviting and up-to-the-minute business places in the city is the confectionery establishment at No. 20 N. Ewing Ave. conducted by Mrs. Mae Lewis, who is a well-known resident, and her brother, Mr. D. Morris. Mrs. Lewis, who was recently divorced from her former husband, Geo. Lewis, has taken her maiden name, Morris, thus it is that the business is conducted under the firm name of Morris & Morris: A full and complete line of notions, cigars, tobacco, smokers' articles, candies, ice cream, ice cream sodas, and stationery is carried in stock and with the sanitary surroundings and courteous treatment it is a pleasure for even the casual customer to stop and make a purchase. Installtion At Lutheran Church Rev. G. A. Schmidt, pastor of the Lutheran Church, 1701 Morgan St., who has been working in the interest of Colored people for the past three years in this city, was called to the "Black Belt" to superintend the Lutheran schools.

Seven thousand was raised by the Colored people of Baltimore, a group of interested whites gave $8,150 and a smaller number of whites contributed $265.

He is now taking a well-earned vacation at Excelsior Springs, Mo. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings is critically ill at his home, 1318 Druid Hill avenue: He is 51 years of age, and was educated at Lincoln University and in the law school of the University of Maryland.

Cornerstone To Be Laid Sept. 16, at Pine St. Branch. K. of P's Granted A Dispensation By unanimous action the ministers of the city have set aside Sunday, September 9 as Y. M. C. A. Day in all the churches. From all the pulpits will go out to the thousands of church-goers of the city, messages of endorsement of the Y. M. C. A. and appeals for support to the magnificent enterprise so splendidly begun. Following on this plan of the ministers, the Y. M. C. A. management has set aside the week of September 9 to 16 as Y. M. C. A. week. Opportunity will be given to all who have subscribed to pay in full their pledges during the week of the 9th to 16th, so that their names shall go into the cornerstone. A large number of the team workers and campaign committeemen have signified their intention of paying in full their pledges, following the example of those who have already paid in full. Professor Frank L. Williams, the chairman of the campaign committee, who was one of the men to subscribe $1,000 toward the fund, has already announced his intention to pay in full his pledge before that date. A good number of the subscribers have during the past week paid in their pledges, so that their names might go on the roll of honor which is to be placed in the cornerstone, which is to be laid on the 10th of September. As the 16th of September approaches, the success of the cornerstone laying seems more and more assured. General Wm. H. Butler, who is the Grand Marshal for that day, has assurances from a large number of fraternal organizations that they will be in line. The Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias will turn out to a man, and from the present forecast, it seems that the parade which General Butler is organizing for that day, will surpass in splendor any which he has ever organized in the city of St. Louis. The line of march will be announced in the Argus of next week. This will be arranged after the meeting which is scheduled for Monday night, September 10 at the Y. M. C. A. Building at 8:00 p.m. OFFICIAL ORDER St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 5, 1917. To the Chancellor Commander, Officers and Members of all Subordinate Lodges, Knights of Pythias of the State of Missouri: My attention having been called by Chancellor Commanders of several Lodges in the city of St. Louis, to an invitation extended by the management of the Pine Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, to the Corner Stone Laying of their New Home at 29th and Pine Streets, on Sunday September 16th, I am heartily concurring in this laudable movement by issuing the following order: We desire to compliment the splendid citizenship and unattornished Race pride being demonstrated by, the Officers of our Subordinate Lodges in promoting a movement which means so much to the race, especially our young men, we feel that their efforts should be encouraged by the cooperation of every Pythian in the city of St. Louis, and St. Louis County. Since the cities of Chicago, Cincinnati, Washington, Atlanta, New York, Nashville, and our own sister city Kansas City have provided modern Y. M. C. A. buildings for the accommodation of their Negro men. St. Louis can ill afford to allow its interest to lag in this uplifting movement. A free dispensation is hereby granted to each Lodge desiring to participate in the ceremonies in connection with the Laying of the Corner Stone. That uniform arrangements for the services may be had, we have decided to call a meeting of all Officers of each Subordinate Lodge K. of P. of St. Louis, Clayton, Creve Coeur, Webster Groves, and St. Charles, Monday September 10th, at 3137 Pine Street, at 8 P. M. sharp. Chancellor Commanders will notify Officers to be present. Yours faithfully in F. C. & B., FORMULATED, 1800 PORO HAIR GROWER MADE ONLY BY Miss Amber Lurubo Makoni ST.

It is the desire or each member to raise $200.00, in order that they may be able to meet the debts of the church and Belief Fund. The members are requested to bring $1.00 each. Free dinner will be served those giving a dollar. Bring or send donation to the Secretary, St. Emma Lynch, 3973 Fairfax Ave., and your name will be recorded. Elder J. H. Anderson, Pastor, St. Emma Lynch, Secretary. Rev. P. R. Royston preached for us at eleven o'clock Sunday a most remarkable sermon, subject: "The Gospel Railway." Touching accurately the little things we leave undone that are of vital importance. The Sunday school programs are both edifying and inspiring to old and young, and are to be commended. The pastor, Dr. Morris, has been sick and is still far from well; being too weak to fill his rostrum. Rev. I. H. Monroe preached for us at night, a short electric exhortation that left the audience spell bound. The real beauty of the sermon was its baffling self-questionings that the minds will digest as it unfolds day by day and bit by bit to each individual. ST. PAUL A.M.E. CHURCH Last Sunday marked the close of the last quarterly meeting for the conference year. The services were well attended all day. The presiding elder, Rev. P. Thurman, preached a most enjoyable sermon at 11 a.m. and Rev. D. W. Oaks preached the sacramental sermon at 3 o'clock, which was full of spiritual power. Quite a number of the associate pastors were present in the afternoon. Don't fail to hear our pastor, Dr. Johnson, next Sunday morning. He is always prepared to give his congregation a good spiritual sermon. Strangers are always welcome. The pastor has begun to collect the dollar money. The membership is invited to St. James church Sunday at 3 p.m., the last quarterly meeting service for the conference year. ST. JAMES A.M.E. CHURCH The auditorium and lecture room were packed last Sunday morning in honor of "Woman's Day." At eleven o'clock, under the skillful fingers of our own talented Mrs. Alice Richardson, the organ burst forth in the first strains of "Onward Christian Soldiers" and the processional began. Mrs. Ella Jones delivered the welcome address after which Mrs. Elizabeth Gooker in a rich contralto, sang, "Hold Thou My Hand." The speaker, Mrs. Luey Thurman, was then introduced and for forty-five minutes held her audience spell bound. She based her remarks on "Mother." "All that is noble and best in man," said the speaker, "is his heritage from a good mother." Mrs. Thurman in all the beauty and grandeur of her noble womanhood, stood as a connecting link between the dark days of slavery and the blessed light of freedom, telling the things she knew and had experienced. Those who heard this wonderful message will not soon forget it. After the chanting of the prayer, Mrs. Bertha Hopson, with all the sweetness of her beautiful soprano voice, very feelingly sang, "Some Day I'll Understand." The evening service was almost as largely attended as the morning service. Mrs. Nellie Minor read a well prepared paper on "The Achievements of Women" in which she portrayed the beautiful characters of some of the noble women in Biblical history. Just before the speaker was introduced, Mrs. Lottie Bell very effectively sang, "A Perfect Day." Mrs. Jessie Robinson, the speaker of the evening, gave a splendid talk on "Consecrated Women." Her address was brimful of earnestness attacking sin on every side. She made a strong appeal to Christian women to make no compromise, but live clean, pure, useful lives for God. The music was especially good. The choir though few in number, was equal to the emergency and carried out the musical program to the letter. It was a "gala day" in St. James, and much credit is due Mrs. Kelly and her assistant. Sunday, Sept. 9 will be the 4th quarterly meeting. We are expecting a spiritual feast. By request of the Y. M.C.A. for every pastor to fill his own pulpit next Sunday morning, Dr. Peek will preach from the subject "Life Abundant." Do not fail to hear him. You are cordially invited to attend all services. Communion at three o'clock. The First Baptist church at afeacham Park, held their First Annual Rally, September 2, beginning at 1:00 a.m. continuing until 5:30 p.m. It is said that this was the greatest rally in the history of South Kirkwood. The church work under the auspices of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, raised $283.00. The members report an interesting meeting as well as a successful one. Among the large number of visitors present were: Rev. D. Shields of Pacific, Mo. Rev. Robinson, St. Louis; Rev. A. Dixon, St. Louis, Rev. E. W. Alexander, exmoderator of the Berean Association; Rev. P. W. Dunnavant, moderator of Antioch Association. Rev. W. W. Weaver, our pastor is doing a great work here. All enjoyed the services at First church last Sunday. The Sunday school and Mission Cirle are progressing rapidly. The revival will begin Sunday night September 9, lasting two weeks. Every one is invited to worship with us. Dinner will be served at the church free. Rev. Wm. Weaver, Pastor; G. W. Garrett, Clerk. LANE TABERNACLE CHURCH Services at Lane Tabernacle were enjoyed as usual, last Sunday. Rev. Smith expects to make his second annual report at the Missouri and Illinois Conference which convenes Oct. 29, at Lane Tabernacle church. Rev. Smith was transferred from the Kansas Conference; having come here from Lane Chapel, Topeka, Kans. Our church is having the greatest success in its history, under Rev. Smith's splendid leadership. He has established a record that will remain in the memory of his faithful members, who are always willing to assist him in any way possible. He is not only a Gospel preacher, but is often found in the homes of the needy members, giving assistance. The stewardess, steward, trustee boards, and class leaders have adopted a resolution at the last Quarterly Conference to present to the Annual Conference asking, for the return of the pastor. "Labor Day" was the subject discussed last Sunday. It was a message to the men, beginning with creation. Rev. Smith pointed out how God had worked through man; and the great value a good-man was to God. Every one enjoyed the splendid remarks. The three earlonds of faithful Sunday school students who left Fairfax and Vandeventer Aves., was a beautiful sight to behold. The badges and buttons added greatly to the brilliancy of the occasion. Every one expressed themselves as having had a delightful time. The trip was made to Ferguson and return in two hours and fifteen minutes. The United Railway employees said, "this is the best behaved crowd we have ever taken out." METROPOLITAN NOTES Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church was visited last week and Sunday by some of the most distinguished Pythians of the United States. Last Sunday reminded us of the first Sabbath we moved into the church. There were enough people standing around and about the church for the want of seats, to have had an overflow meeting downstairs. If the crowd continues as they have been, the Rev. Shaw says he will have to have preaching downstairs, as well as upstairs on Sunday morning. The reorganization of the church in its various departments promises a great and successful year, and from the present outlook, this will be one of the most fruitful years of the Metropolitan Church. Rev. Dr. Shaw, the pastor, will deliver a series of sermons to the business and professional people of St. Louis. It is his desire, said he, to create a greater love and interest of Negro co-operation in business and otherwise, and he declared whatever the opposition along this line will come to him, that he will continue this course, until Negroes of St. Louis wake up to the fact, that it is his duty to support the Negro business whatever it may be, if the race is -ever to be "More than hewers of wood and drawers of water." All the business and professional people as well as the public in general, are invited to hear this series of sermons. Everybody is cordially invited to hear the pastor on Sunday morning.

How many there are, who would give up the struggle were it'not for a timely word of encouragement. It is the hope, the fresh sup- ply of real courage, that spurs uson when disappointments and dispair woukd stop us. Coerage, looks like giant problems in the face and marches eréct along the path to their solution. The real news from the battle front has been suppressed by the censor, through fear that those hehind the trenches may become diseour- aged. So, thus could run catalegues of illustrations along this-line. There has been much done to discourage the Negro ‘in this country. Every possible stumbling block has been thrown in his way. The ingenuity and ingeneousness of the socalled brains in America have been enlisted to stop hia progress. The statue books of many states of proud America, are besmeéred with Anti-Negro propress laws, such.as jim-crowiem, disfranchisement and segrega- tion; the practice of some of the socalled best people, of lynch- ings an@ mob violence, race discrimination in trade unions, race discriminations in hey fein race discrimination in public sehools and in other pubti¢ places. All of this is done to diseourage the Negro in the race of life; in’ his-struggles to care for:his home, educate his children and live a respectable citizen ‘in his community. A Grigtter Day Coming + If there is ameng us these who are discouraged on account of *these things, we advise you to be of good cheer. The signs of the times. are already here and the prayers of the down trodden races of all the world can be heard. Some one is deat{ned to oppose peace in this world war, until the nations ehall recognize the fatherhood of God and the brotherheod of man. To thoee who feel the sting keenly on account of discrimina- tion in the army and navy of the United States, we’ would say. again, be of good cheer, the time will come when those who are re- jecting you mow, will be glad to welcome all the aid that you .can ive. * Remember, England lost over sixteenthousand men last week. Remember that America is training her men for the same fate .or probably worse.

They have been to Cuba, tthe Phillipines, Mexico, some of them are in Franee, perhaps fight- img .at this moment. In all parts of the north they have been ‘etationed and no complaint has been offered as to their conduct. ‘The 25th Infantry left Spokane a few years ago,and the Cham- ber of Commerce tendered to their chaplain, a colored man, a ban- quet. The daily papers expressed their sorrow at their geing. The eolumns of the daily press fairly teemed with letters of regret at their departure. All of these letters were from members of the so-called superior race. When a state of amarchy prevailed at Spokane and Chief Sul- livan was assassinated, supposedly by I. W. W., the sheriff was powerless, mere than 700 I. W. W.’s were incarcerated. Aé last the gevernment was called upon. The commanding officer at Ft. Wright marched down Riverside avenue with 400 black soldiers. The lL. W. W.'s were marched to Ft. Wright and anarchy, like the silent Turk, folded its tent and went its way. At that time black soldiers looked mighty good to Spokane. “These fellows don't complain of the heatof Mexico. They den’t care for the fire of the snipers. They welcome death on the bat- tea France. They captured Sitting Bull with Gen. Miles ined the title of Buffalo soldiers. We say they can stand anything, but the wanton brutality of the South they will never stand. 5 These men are trained to fight---and they will. -It seems as if the particular trouble was provoked when a black soldier was arrested by a pelice officer. When a soldier is arrested here, he ia promptly turned over to the military authori- ties. _ This rale does not appear to hold in the South, as applied by the damnable crackers, when a black soldier is involved. The South appears to be a law unto itself. ‘The whole difficulty lies in the fact that the south haa never been reconstructed. Jf the late Ben Butler could have been made military governor of the south ‘for 20 years, it might have been different.—-From “The Forum,” Tacoma, Wash, “ae eo 16 ek Pee EN * “Save!

In the midday of my life the sualizht of my brightest hope was shaded of the sixth day of July, when Ladelle my oldest little ‘girl fell asleep in death, at the companionable age ‘af twelve years. Bat, I still have one faint hope left which I cherished ail the more. It seemed that my life and my soul was bound upsin a purpose to train and develop her into a mode! of character and Chiistian culture. Bat on the eighth of September just two ‘months and two days later, a great pall of gloom fell when the Inst ray ef hope faded in the death of little Etta “Maycelle Nabors, who departed this life, one year ago, Sept. 8 Yet there is a brighter hope than all of these, a higher purpose than earthly will amd they have attained that hope and they have fulfilled that purpose.

Periods of Rest ‘The proper care of shoes will not ‘only do much to extend the life of the ‘shoe, but will also improve its appear- ance, says Charlotte E. Carpenter of the Colorado Agricultural college. Keep the heels squared. A “run- over” heel forces the counter out of abape and often breaks it. . Avoid ‘getting leather wet, but when set and muddy, gently wipe off the mud instead of letting it dry on and ‘while the leather is still wet, rub in @ little warm oll, The shoe should ry slowly. “Do hot place it in a hot oven or on a hot radiator, as intense heat and cold are bad for leather and especially the changes from one to the other. Shoes should be kept clean and well- polished, as this prevents dirt getting into the pores and rotting the leather. ‘It is well for shoes to have a rest period, therefore, it is economy to * ve at least two pair of shoes and to change the shoes often. It is also good for the shoe if one has a pair of ahoe trees which can be placed inside the ahoes while they are at rest. The Gift of Organization. | Before the war we used to hear s ‘good deal about the value of the par ticular person called « business mao, im the art of governance. No doubt there are more sorts of business men than the one; but during the war the business man has been given his op- ‘portunity; and the result is not up- naturally @ certain sense of disappoint- ment. There is, in fact, no mystic vir- ‘tue in business, which inay mean any- thing from operating om the stock ex- change to selling goods across « coun- ter, ‘The quality chiefly required in administration is the gift of organiza- tion, which 1s frequently possessed by men who know little of commerce.

Yet if every one. of the 20,000,000 American’ families on the average wastes each~day only one ounce of edible mest or fat, it’ means a- daily waste of 1,250,000 pounds-of animal food—456,000,000 pounds- of valuable animal food a year, according to sta- tistictans of the United States depart ment of griculture. g At average dressed weights, it would take the gross weight of over 875,000,- 000 steers, or over 8,000,000 hoge— bones and all—to provide this weight of meat or fat for each garbage pall or kitchen sink. If the bones and butcher's waste are eliminated, these figures would be increased to 1,150,000 cattle and 3,700,000 hoga. Or, dgain, if the waste were distrib- uted according. to the per capita con- sumption of the various meats (exclud- ing bones), tt would nse up: a ‘com bined. herd of over-538,000 beef ant- mals, 291,000 calves, oyer 625,000 sheep and lambs, and over 2,132,000 hogs. < Millions of tons of feed and hay, the grass from vast pastures and the labor of armies of cattlemen and ‘butchers “also would be scrapped by this meat-waste route. ‘Waste of meat or fat is inexcusable, way the government experts.

JAMES M. GRAY, D.D. Dame of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT—He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake—Psalm 23:21 Every word in this sentence is weighty. 1. Think of that personal pronoun "he." "He" leadeth me. It contains a denial of both atheism and materialism, since it asserts the existence of a personal God who is distinct from and independent of the created universe. It denies delism, too, declaring not only for a personal, self-existent God, but for one who is the controlling Every word in weighty. 1. Think presence in the universe. 2. He "leadeth" me. "To lead" means to guide or to conduct as by the hand; and it is blessed that God allows us to think of him as occupying such an attitude towards us. "I have called thee in righteousness," said he, "and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee." "To lead" means "to go before," as when a shepherd leads his sheep to pasture. And by his incarnation in the person of Jesus Christ, God has actually gone before us in the flesh in suffering and glory, "leaving us an example that we should follow his steps." "To lead" means to persuade, as when one is driven by necessity to do a certain thing. And here again we see the analogy to spiritual truth. "It was good for me to be afflicted," says the psalmist, "before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept thy law." "To lead" means to draw, to allure, as when one's desires and affections are stirred in a given direction, and he then willingly and ardently pursues it. As it is written, "The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance," and again, "We love him because he first loved us." It is thus that he leadeth us. A Personal Interest. 3. He leadeth "me." We have dwelt upon the importance of the first pronoun, but the second is like unto it. Indeed, without the second the first would lose much of its value. It is one thing to know that a personal God is interested in us, but even better to know that he is interested in us personally. David says, of all beings in the universe, he leadeth me, and his own history must have convinced him of this beyond a doubt. But he said it no more confidently than we can say it. if we are the Lord's. Shunned by the world, we may be; ready to cover ourselves with dust and ashes at the sight of our own shortcomings, but still there is one to whom we are as dear as his own life's blood, and whose arms are clasped around us as though there were not another being in the world. 4. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness. "Righteousness" is the qualifying word of the sentence so far as its application to man is concerned. Who are those that he leads? They who are in the paths of righteousness. The unrighteous therefore he does not lead. But the "righteous" from the Gospel point of view are not the externally moral people merely, but those who have submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God, the righteousness which is by faith. They are found in the paths of righteousness, because they are found in Christ. But being found, they are now led therein. This leading is equivalent to their growth in grace, their development in Christ. Hence the significance of that preposition "in." He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness. Not "into" them but "in" them. He leads us into them in the first place, since without his regenerating grace we would never have been found in them. Leading While in the Way. But it is a different thing, to be led "in" them after we have been led "into" them. The paths of righteousness would themselves become paths of error to us, if God were to withdraw his personal leadership. He must not only make us Christians, but he must keep us Christians, if we are to remain so. And the importance of this continued leadership is emphasized by the word "paths." Not one, but many. Sometimes they are paths of bodily affliction, of peril, beavement, poverty, strong temptation, mental darkness, desertion, opposition, doubt, but in all these paths he leadeth me. By his word, by his providence, by his spirit, and by the example of his own life in the flesh! For His Name's Sake. 5. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness "for his Name's sake." It is wonderful how many and how great things God has done for us and promises to do for us in his Name's sake. This is a humbling truth, since it takes from us all thought of personal right or merit in the matter. But it is also an inspiring truth. For if God leads us in the paths of righteousness for his Name's sake, the honor of his Name is involved in his leading us to the very end, and up to the throne of glory. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON TEXT-Daniel 1 GOLDEN TEXT-But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank-Daniel 1:3. The book of Daniel, with the great prophecies, fulfilled and unfulfilled, is one of the most interesting and important in the Bible. Without a grasp of the prophecies of this book it is absolutely impossible for one to know the New Testament and the times in which we live. Daniel gives an outline of the entire period of time from the passing of supremacy to the Gentiles in Nebuchadnezzar to the final overthrow of the Gentile dominion, to the establishment of the millennial kingdom. The course, character and end of Gentile dominion are given. It is that period known in Scriptures as the "times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24). The book of Daniel falls into two parts: Part I (chapters 1 to 6), in which the prophet appears as the divinely chosen interpreter of dreams; part II (chapters 7 to 12), in which the prophet appears as the mouthpiece of God, setting forth in visions, not dreams, the times of the Gentiles. The book is written in two languages. Hebrew and Aramaic—chapter 1:1:2:3 and chapters 8 to 12 (Hebrew); chapters 2:4-7:28 (Aramaic). The part which concerns the Hebrews was written in their own tongue and the part which concerns the empires of the world is written in their tongue. I. Daniel's Home Leaving (vv. 1-4). He was carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar in the first siege of Jerusalem. This was a great trial for his own heart. He seems to have been about fourteen years of age. II. Daniel's Trials and Difficulties (vv. 5-13). It was the custom for the best of the captives to be selected and trained for service in the land of captivity. They usually selected those of the royal house for such training. 1. Change of name. Among the Hebrew names were given to children, which were significant. Daniel means "God is my judge." The significance of the name then was that all problems of life were submitted to God for decision. This was the secret of Daniel's life. This purpose of his parents seems to have been instilled into his very life and being. So thoroughly did he imbibe this spirit that in all things he made God arbiter of his plans and purposes. The object no doubt in the change of name was to obliterate his national and religious connection and identify him with the heathen people. The king of Babylon evidently liked Daniel's appearance and scholarship, but was averse to his religion. It is the same today. Nations and individuals are perfectly willing to recognise and utilize the scholarship and efficiency of Christian ministers and missionaries, but are not willing to embrace their religion. 2. His conscience tested (vv. 5-8). It was with reference to the king's meat and the king's wines. It is ever to be borne in mind that conscience is the groundwork of human character. It is the law which must be followed. No doubt Daniel was taunted and laughed at for his fidelity, just as all men and women today who are loyal to their convictions must experience, for all who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 3. His religious life. This involved his refusal to eat meat and drink wine which was contrary to his teaching. Also it involved his praying three times a day. 4. His Success (vv. 14-21). 1. Physical health (vv. 15). 5. Godly and temperate living pays. The king's meat and wine would have been pleasant to the palate, but would have meant compromise of conscience. 6. Mental growth (v. 20). He was ten times superior to his comrades. It is always true that those who abstain from indulgence in the use of wine have clearer minds and are mentally better equipped for their work than those who indulge. 7. Social. Daniel stood before the king. No higher position of honor could have been given him. 4. Temporal. He became president of the College of Wise Men and prime minister of the nation. This position he continued to hold through several dynasties. 5. Spiritual (v. 17). Because of Daniel's loyalty to God, Nebuchadnezzar's dream was revealed to him and he was giving visions sketching the whole history of the world. 1V. The Secret of His Success. The following may be set down as the things which made Daniel successful: 1. He was conscientious. If we would succeed in the world, let us see to it that in all things we live in good conscience. 2. Loyalty to God. He made God the judge of everything that pertained to his life. No pleasure was indulged in or problem disposed of without its submission to God. 3. Decision of character. With him that which had been submitted to God and was shown to be right before God, was the law of his life.
