THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNEjONT., THURSDAY, NOV. 24, 1927 Sunday School Lesson November 27. Lesson Teaches True Worshi 10-20. Golden Text--Who shall cend into the hill of the Lord? o who shall stand in his holy place Ke that hath clean hands, and pure heart.--Psalm 24: 3, 4. ANALYSIS. I. the indictment, 1-9. II. the appeal, 10-20. Introduction--Isaiah lived in period of great and tragic change. The Assyrian empire, of which the capital city was Nineveh Tigris, already powerful, began about the year B.C. 745, a rapid increase of power and expansion of territory by conquest, which within fifty years carried its arms as far as the Mediterranean sea and the borders of Egypt. One by one the smaller countries which lay between were overrun and reduced to subjection, compelled to p£y tribute to their conqueror. When they resisted, heavier tribute was imposed and if resistance was continued, in the end the people were forced from their homes and enslaved or exiled. Thus the kingdom of Syria came to and Damascus was taken in 732, the kingdom of Israel fell, S; taken, and many people carried into exile in 722, and in 701, Judah Jerusalem almost shared the same fate. In part, at least, chap 1 reflects the conditions of distress and humiliation of that last terrible year, when, the Assyrian boasted, he took forty-six of Judah's cities and strongholds, shut the king, Heekiah, up in Jerusalem like a bird in a cage, and carried off over two hundred thousand captives with vast quantities of spoil. Isaiah, during a prophetic ministry of forty years or more, witnessed this succession of tragedies, and sees in them the hand of God inflictfng upon his people a disciplinary punishment that he may lead them to repentance and to reformation of character. For Jehovah their God is sovereign lord and king, enthroned in holy majesty, and he will not endure with patience the sin that is an offence against his holiness. Yet he is merciful and will forgive, the penitent, and will provide deliverance and a brighter and better future for the purified remnant of his people who willsurvive the calamities of war and exile. And over them, Isaiah predicts, will reign a great and glorious king, a son of David, whose dominion will be established for ever in righteousness and in peaceful prosperity. I. the indictment, 1-9. The title of the book is found in verse 1, "The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz." But this was, most probably, at first the title of a smaller collection of prophecies concerning Judah and Jerusalem. Our present hook contains also prophecies about Israel and many other nations, and „~. earne of these evidently belong to -a period long after the time of the kings mentioned here. Isaiah's call to the prophetic ministry came "in the year that King Uzziah died" (6:1), about the year B.C. 740. This first chaptei contains a summary of most of what is essential and characteristic in 1 " teaching. In verses 2-4, God is represented ... a father justly displeased with the ungrateful and rebellious conduct of his children, who are more insensible to bis goodness than beasts of the stall. In verses 5-9 there is distinct reference to the calamities which have already come heavily upon the land. x It is like a body bruised and sore from head to foot, whose hurts are uncared for and festering. The invading armies of Assyria are devouring it. Jerusalem is left alone in the midst ©f waste and desolation, as a lonely watchman's booth or lodge remote from village or town. But a very small remnant is left, else the city would have been utterly destroyed. II. the appeal, 10-20. The prophet addresses rulers and neople as of Sodom and of Gomorrah. Such, he means to say, is the character they bear. They .are like the rulers and people of those wicked cities which God destroyed. Yet they tery religious, vs. 11-15. They offer sacrifices, they observe the sacred festivals and the sabbaths, they make mean? To what purpose? Who hath mean? o what purpose? Who hath required it? The prophet declares that the Lord is not pleased with these formalities of worship which have content of real devotion, with a ritual which is without righteousness. The assembly of people at the sanctuary (v. 12), is compared to the trampling of a herd of cattle. The combination of iniquity and the solemn meeting is Intolerable. From bloodstained hands outstretched in empty prayer the Lord will hide his eyes, and such prayers he will not hear. What is essential to true worship appears in vs. 16-18. It lies in clean Mving, in putting away that which is evil, in well-doing, in justice, and kindness, and ttvarcy. Compare Jer. 7:21-23; Hoeea 6:6; Amos 5:21-24; Micah 6:6-8; Psahn 51:16-17. It has been suggested by some recent writers that v. 18 is ironical, or that it contains a question, "shall they be white as snow?" But it is much moro probable that it should be taken as a simple and serious statement of fact. This also is in entire harmony with the context. God's forgiving and restoring grace is always ready for the truly penitent worshipper. Compare Psalm 51:1-10; Isa. 55:6, 7. The blessing of prosperity is promked to those who are willing and obedient, but the uttermost calamities of continued war to them if they refuse and To us who have been taught the lessons of the Christian faith, the teaching of the prophet in this last passage (vs. 19, 20), is incomplete. Material prosperity and long life, or deliverance from famine and; war, are not always the reward of the righteous. Ideally it might seem that they should be, but under the actual con-i life ' it is not so. good are sometimes called to do so at the cost of every material good andj even of life itself. The call of Christ has often been and will often be to | leave all and follow hdm. The words; of the prophet must be supplemented by the teaching of Jesus. And yet,! in the highest sense, it is still true ' that the highest good in this life, as K, Isaiah in the life to come, is and will be for Isaiah 1: the willing and obedient. Flowers Indoors in Winter Why not have a "winter garden" of bulbs in your home this year? Bulbs are the simplest things to plant and can easily be made to bloom when you want them. They are kept in the cellar or in a cool place and brought into the rooms of the house as they are needed for blossoming. Bulbs may be planted in either soil ... a , water. When soil is used, three Lnghsh A.A.A. May Keruse bulbs are generally planted in each to Send a Track Team to five- °r six-inch porous flower-pot.

Over this, Boycott of the Olympics Seen Games at Amsterdam if football players who are paid for "broken time" are allowed to particpate, is noted within the Amateur Athletic Association, which is the body governing English track and field sport. The fact is one of grave significance, for it appears to foreshadow the A. A. A. yofing in favor of Britain's abstention at the forthcoming mass meeting of the sports governing bodies which is to be covened immediately by the British Olympic Association. If the A. A. A. refuses to send track team, a complete boycott of the games by the British Empire athletes may almost be taken for granted the line of action with which a rapidly growing body of opinion in this country is in complete sympathy. Now that the executive commission of the International Olympic Committee has confirmed its approval of the Association football players playing at Amsterdam does not enforce the Olympic definition of an amateur, the athleti authorities here feel that the thin end of the wedge of professionalism has been definitely inserted and that cleavage of the Olympic movement only a matter of time. "How can any team of real am teurs from Europe be expected to coi pete in Los Angeles on the Pacific Coast of the United States in 1932, losing at least two months' salaries? 'Broken timers' might manage it, but according to the British conception of amateurism such gladiators ha' place in the Olympic festival. "Anyone in close touch with the British sporting opinion must realize how resolute is the determination to avoid official recognition of what is considered a class of hybrid sportsmen, neither amateur nor professional. If footballers are to be repaid wages lost during the games at Amsterdam it is felt that there is no apparent reason why track wrestlers--everybody in fact--should not have the same assistance at Los Angeles. For that reason there is dioubtedly a very high possibility that Britain's ' amateur sportsmen have been seen for the last time at the Olympic Games. Hundreds Visit •. "Cannibal Ship" Derelict Japanese Craft is Brought Into Seattle Seattle--Hundreds of persons braved a cold rain here recently to visit the Japanese "cannibal ship" picked up off the Washington coast on Monday, Oct. 31th, after drifting helplessly across the Pacific ocean. The bodies of two Japanese and the bones of eight others found aboard the derelict 100-foot craft, have been cremated and will be returned to the village of Waukoba, in Southern Japan, the home of the ill-fated men who set out from Misuki, near Yoka-hama, last November. A possibility that the vessel was the one seen by the steamship West Ison, east of Japan last December, was removed when a sailor of the Ameri-freighter exhibited a photograph of the disabled craft" which refused id from the steamer. Although the vo slffps were somewhat similar in appearance, the photograph revealed itriking points of difference. "The derelict, bearing the name Ryo Yei Mara, was found eight miles off Umatilla Light by the steamship Margaret Dollar. The ship's log revealed that starvation and death ■ertook the crew after the vessel had drifted far out on the Pacifii Engine trouble had rendered the craft helpless soon after it left Japan. three inches of soil may be laid, and the bulbs placed in position. Then fill in the soil around the bulbs until it reaches slightly above the lower edge of the flowerpot rim. Aftei •planting, the bulbs are thoroughy watered and set away in the cellar or in some cool place. They should not be watered again until the soil appears light-colored, as too much water will Cause the bulbs to rot. Hyacinth bulbs are usually grown with more than one bulb to a pot, and they may be planted just below the soil surface or one-half to one-third above the surface of the soil. Easter lilies require a rather rich soil which should just cover the top of the bulbs. Tulip bulbs shoufcl be planted deep in the soil, and the outer reddish coding should be removed before planting. PREPARING WATER CULTURE The water method can be used to grow all bulbs except Easter lily and the tulip. To prepare a dish to hold bulbs grown in water, gravel, charcoal and pebbles are generally use. The bottom of he dish is filled with gravel mixed with powdered charcoal or with gravel and cinders. The remainder of the space in the bowl or dish should be filled nearly to the top with pebbles which will hold the bulbs in place. From one to three bulbs are planted in each dish. If the bulbs are small enough, three of the bulbs can be placed in the form of a triangle. Too much water on bulbs in water culture often causes them to rot. Until the roots have started to develop, the J base of the bulbs should just touch the water in the container. After this the water is kept a little below the bulb. Canada's Monument to U.S. Men Who Served in C.E.F. Unveiled Memorial Presented by Hon. Vincent Massey and Accepted for People of U.S. by Secretary of State Kellogg Washington, Nov. 11.--"On behalf and in the name of the Government of Canada I hereby present through your good offices to the Government and | people of the United States this mouu-I ment, the gift of the Canadian jGev-ernment and people to honor the memory of those citizens of the United States who served in the Canadian Army and gave their lives in the Mgr.

Several inches of leaf growth generally occurs. althou^B there will be an absence of green color" There is no need of alarm, however, as the green appears within a few days after the bulbs a the light.

K.'s Weekly. A bishop recently addressed a large assembly of Sunday school children, and wound up by asking, in a very-paternal way: "And now, is there any little boy or any little girl who would like to ask me a question?" A thin, shrill voice at the back of the room called out, "please, sir, why did the angels walk up and down Jacob's ladder when they had wings?" "Oh, ah, yes--I s^e," said the bishop.

Vincent Massey, Canadian Minister to the U.S., presented Canada's cross of sacrifice to Hon. Prank B. Kellog, Secretary of State, at Arlington Cemetery this afternoon. Mr. Kellog accepted the memorial in similar brief Washington, Nov. 11. -- Warm weather and sunny skies favored the unveiling in Arlington Cemetery this afternoon of Canada's Cross of Sacrifice, erected by the Government of Canada in honor of the citizens of the United States who served in the Canadian Army and gave their lives in the Great War. The memorial was presented by Hon. Vincent Massey, Canadian Minister to the United States, and accepted on behalf of the people of the United States by Hon. Frank B. Kellogg, Secretary of State, both of whom made brief addresses. In the d.dica-'tory address by Colonel the Hon. J. L. Ralston, the Canadian Minister of National Defence, emphasized the spirit of good wiH and neighborliness of Canada and the United States, and said he hoped the two nations would never lose sight of the mutual glory, pledge of brotherhood and "fellowship faithful unto death," which the cross symbolized. Mutual Friendship. The mutual friendship of the two count: its also furnished the keynote of the address of Hon. Dwlght F. Davis, U.S. Secretary of War, who referred to the United States citizens who served in the Canadian forces as the late.37 and most precious offering upon the altar of our mutual fiiend-ship. They were Inspired by a high sense of right, the secretary said. ' There was a good attendance of CanatJi;: is resident in Washington, besides about thirty distinguished visiting Canadians and a large representation from the British embrassy and Irish Free Statte legation. Canadian and United States troops united n the ceremony, which was the outstanding Armistice Day exercise in the capital; perhaps in the whole country. Tasty Recipes With Cheese Baked Cod Take 2 to 3 pounds of fresh cod or similar fish, wash it and rub it well inside and out with lemon juice. Lard it with, fat bacon, grate some Parmesan cheese over it, cover it with fine breadcrumbs and pour over them a well-beaten egg. Strew some more raspings upon the egg, and finally add a little more grated cheese. Bake in a good oven till done--about 20 minutes. The fish must be brown on the top. Cheese Dumplings Melt a piece of butter the size of an egg and stir Into it a large slice of white bread that has been' soaked for an hour in cold milk and squeezed out. A teaspoonful of chopped parsley and a very little finely chopped onion are added and the mixture is stirred over the fire until stiff. Turn out into a basin and when cold mix with it the beaten yolk of egg, a little grated nutmeg, 2 large tablespoonfuls of grated cheese-- Parmesan preferably--and] sufficient flne stale breadcrumbs to make.

Let them boil gently f< about 10 minutes or longer if nece sary; take them out carefully with strainer and serve hot, with oiled butter of a pale brown, in a butterboat. Scrambled Eggs and Cheese Remove the crust from some small slices of brfad and fry them quickly in butter on both sides. Melt a tea-spoonful of butter in a small frying-pan over a quick fire, add 3 lightly-beaten eggs and let them fry for a minute untouched. When they are nearly set, scrape the mixture quickly but gently from the sides and strew over it a tablespoonful of grated Parmesan cheese and a dust of Cawenne pepper. Mix'lightly, pile the eggs on the fried slices of bread, and serve immediately. Cheese Souffle Melt in a saucepan a quarter of a pound of butter and stir into it 4 dessertspoonfuls of flour, add about % of a pint of fresh milk--a little cream is an improvement--and simmer until it is smooth, stirring all the time.

The souffle served at once or it will fall. Where The Qo&t is Required Havana has a sumptuary law of " own, and the law is strictly enforced, despite protests of visitors who desire to display the glories of silk shirts, or who simply wish to dispense with superfluous garments. Coats must be worn by those who vould sit in the Central Park and by those who would drive on the aristocratic Prado. It is amusing to see a motorcycle policeman dart into the traffic and halt an automobile containing coatless Americans. The visitors seldom understand Spanish, and English-speaking officers are seldom detailed for traffic duty. T0 manage a bicycle and explahv*y signs that the coatless ones must be more carefully dressed is no easy matter, and, for a few moments at least, the couitecus policeman has a lob on his hands.

Ordinary everyday Manilla wrapping paper very cleverly imitates parchment when used as cover material for lamp shades, and it is quite satisfactory for shades for either a boy's or a girl's room. The warm brown tones and delicate grains of the paper, decorated with prints and bound with cloth, braid, or ribbon of rich brown color, are very effective, and any girl or boy may be justly proud of a wrapping paper shade for his r her For a boy's room, the decoration could be an old map cut out an.r! glued to the shade, or a picture af a Spanish galleon or ship model. Pictures of dogs or birds might also e used. For a girl's room, a shade decorated with a bright but inexpensive Japanese print, flowers, or any of the lovely pictures cut from the covers of magazines would be attractive. The manner of decorating can be varied to make j these shades appropriate for almost ' any room in the house. If you would like to make one of these shades, first select a plain lamp shade frame and a piece of manila wrapping paper large enough to cover the shade entirely without being pieced. The simplest way to get the correct size and shape is to hold the paper around the shade and cu* it, using the frame ae a pattern. Cut it three or four inches wider than the frame is high and let it lap an inch at the joining. Before trimming it down, to fit exactly, fasten it to the frame, and let the surplus width project beyond the edges. The fastening must be done with a good quality liquid glue. Cover thinly the outside of the wires with the glue and let it become almost dry, then press the paper to it, stretching tightly so that there will be no wrinkles. Where the two ends are to be joined, measure with a ruler and mark with a pencil so that they will lap one-half inch, and trim off evenly; close with glue. Trim off at the top and bottom close to the frame. Now bind the top and bottom with one-half inch bias binding cut from brown cloth. Brush the back of the binding lightly with%glue, being sure that it touches the edges thoroughly. To help in getting the binding on perfectly straight, draw a pencil line one-half inch from the edge all the way around, then smooth on the binding so that one edge just meets the pencil line. Fold the remaining half over and smooth it to the inside of the frame. It is not necessary to fold in a hem, because the glue will prevent the material from fraying. A braid or ribbon binding is applied in he same w:ay- Lastly, glue in place the color print, which of course you will have selected with d".ie regard for the color scheras of your r they comply ce. for 7, fin alty for th: ordinance.
