School Lesson for June 11 is | | ; By Willlam T. Ellis. | Pollyanna is more popular than | Jeremiah. Most of us would rather 'have "glad books" than true books. {Ours is the day of rosewater cults. |Ot all the new religions which | spring up In abundance In our va- | grant-minded era the most popular | are those whose creed is one of smil- |es and sunshine and genial good- | nature. "Everything is lovely" sing [the modern prophets and prophetess- | es, "Bin is an error: all is good and | beautiful. A few more smiles and | kingdom come will have arrived." | Far be it from us to discourage |optimism--although the best of | many current definitions of the pes- | simist is that "The pessimist is one [who lives with an optimist." Sen- {sible folk, who face life's realities, | | know that the professional opti- [ mist' creed is euperficial and shal- {low, and that 'it does not take ac- | count of the facts of existence as |any open-minded person perceives them. Ignoring evil is no remedy | for it: the true optimist is the one | who is bent on removing evil and { its causes, The Man Who Faced Facts Just as it is with the world today, 80 it was in old Jerusalem on the eve of the downfall of the nation: some men refused to face the facts {which confronted them, because those facts were unpleasant. And | when clear-geeing old Jeremiah, the | prophet of Jehovah, who had con- | sistently been 'pleading with and | warning the people from the days {ot King Josiah, cried aloud the in- | escapable truth, he was thrown in- | to prison, That is the fate which the job of being a prophet. No- body can deal squarely with the grim realities of 'life, in the large and in their relationship, and be- come a '"'popular" ' preacher. The flatterer and the sychophant, coiner of pleasant phrases and the re-teller of humorous stories, may for a time be in demand as an after dinner speaker, but his name will never be written on the roll of prophets who prepared mankind for new eras. Real prophets are like- lier to find their way to dungeone than to public position. Mankind do not want to hear the truth that means change and betterment, by the route of repentance and resti- tution. To "'declare the whole coun- sel of God" is likely to make a pro- phet uncomfortable. Nevertheless, in an over-propa- ganded and misled day, we need nothing more than great prophets of God, who will see and say the truth for the times. It is generally percelved now that the supreme shortcoming of the war era, and of our post-war experiences, has been the lack of functioning prophets: men of God to Interpret the deepest meaning of tendenciés and trends and conditions. To the teacher, to the preacher, to the editor, to the parent, to the writer, and to all oth ers who stand in places of leader- ship and authority, the summons should be sounded in clarion tones that our present day needs most of all brave souls of the Je@emiah type, who have listened to God, have looked at the world, and have dared to speak the uttermost truth they have learned. Old Times and New Back of the situation 'in old Je- rusalem which caused Jeremiah to be cast into a dungeon was the simple dact---startlingly like the outstanding fact of our day and time--that men generally were not informed upon in- ternational conditions. That people and their leaders were long upon lo- cal news and gossip, but short on the real tidings of the times. They ¢ould not be made to understand that great cosmic forces, the messengers of God, were afoot, and marching to- ward the recreant Jews and their capital. Chaldea and Egypt, the dominant empires, were in a etrug- gle for world mastery; and the fate of the Chosen People was involved. In awesome parallel, there is to- day being waged, over the very same region, a new struggle fer suprem- acy by the two principal European powers; as well as a greater and more inclusive struggle between the two major political ideas of our day ~--selfgovernment and imperialism, Just as the leaders and citizens .of Jerusalem ignored the impending clash between Egypt and Chaldea, lulling themselves to rest in a raise sense of isolation and security, so the western world is today slumber- FRECKLES Ugly There's no longer the slightest need of feeling ashamed of your freckles, as Othine----double strength = Satiaiiond to remove these om spots.

We scoff at as Jere- miahs the men who lift warning voices of the approach of danger. { In childish ignorance, like that of | the Jerusalem leaders, we aseuine | that by shutting our eyes to facts We render those facts powerless. True | Interpreters of the times we are prone to call "glooms" and "joy- killers" and "pessimists." If older ways prevailed in our days we should { put them behind bars. The Fellowship of Prisoners. Whoever goes to jail for the sake {of truth and righteousness, as did Jeremiah, finds himself in g goodly fellowship. He is a spiritual com- panion of Paul apd Peter and John and James, and most of the other apostles; and of Bunyan of Bedford and of Rutherford of Aberdeen, and lof a long, long ne that stretches down through the centuries. | body is really fit to Speak a truth [or espouse a cause who is not ready to go to prison for it. Qut of the darkness of dungeons have flowered some of the fairest and most frag- {rant flowers of salntship and of | Christian leadership, | Freedom's fetters may bind the limbs, but they set the spirit at lib- erty. - "Stone walls do not a prison make, {Nor iron bars a cage." | It is only important that the soul | be free and at peace. When the im- prisoned can sing at midnight, like Paul and Silas, then they are envi- able and not pitiable. We should met the significance of this Lesson entirely did we fail to see that it is & call of youth to cultivate heroic qualities of soul, that can endure hardness for the sake of a principle.

The two easy steps below will save you hours of back breaking rubbing. First: For each tub of clothes dis- solve a half a package of Rinso into a little cool water until it js like thick cream, then stir in two quarts of boiling water. If the water is hard, or the clothes extra dirty, use more Rinso. Then, pour into tub--of cool or luke- warm water. Mix well. Keep adding the solution until you get a rich, last- ing, soapy suds, éven after the clothes have been put in. Do not pour the Rinso direct from the package into the tub. : Soak the clothes for one hour, two hours, overnight, or as long as con- venient. Then rinse to remove the loosened dirt, until the water runs clear. Hang them out to dry. Therc's no rubbing--no boiling. Rinso is not a washing powder, but a scientific combination of pure cleansing materials that loosen and dissolve the dirt from even the heav- iest pieces. It soaks clothes clean in a few hours without injury to a single fabric. - IF YOU USE A WASHING MACHINE Follow the regular directions given here. the machine, Soak the clothes. Then, before operating add fresh Rinso solution using the same amount of Rinso as you used for soaking. No othér product is needed when Rinso is used. At | thinking about 'easy money" and | good times than are thinking about | | nobility of 'life and of great service. | | Comfort amd conformity and com-! | placency are lesser rewards that | must be "oregone for truth's sake. JeremMah calls us back to the sup- Teme essentialg, ---- In An Oriental Dungeon This bit of oriental history in the long ago is a'.ost incomprehensible to our generation. Such a dungeon, dark, damp, disgusting, as that which held the starving Jeremiah, Is simply unthinkable. Prisoners are nowadays the objects of public soli- citude; and that their prisons shall be sanitary is provided by law. Civi- lization would not Jet an animal be kept in the sort of hole that held the great Hebrew prophet. So much has the cumulative influence of Christianity done, Yet it is even today far otherwise In the Orient. The horrible cries of the sick and the hungry in a cage- prison in interior China still fing in my ears. The subterranean dungeon In which St. Paul was kept in Rome, the Mamertime Prison, is still shown to tourists, a black hole without light or ventilaton or any of the decen- cies. Even medieval castles had these chambers of horror for prisoners, In Salonica, shortly. after the ar- mistice, I found an innocent Ameri- can missionary imprisoned, with an assorted horde of innocent and guil- ty, in a foul den that so aroused my orror that, by strong pressure upon the higher officials I had him free within an hour. Before that incident wis closed the governor, the military commander the prime minister and the king himself had apologised to the Americans, Jeremiah had a friend who inter- ceded to get him out of his deep dun- geon--and the Bible story of how rotten rags and old clothes had to be put under his emaciated arms while he was lifted out of the dark and miry pit into which he had been cast, is vivid beyond words. The prophet's Jot was eased; but his mes- Sage continued in force. God's will was done, even though God's man was for a time silenced. With Genoa's fatuities and Ver- saille's impossibilties and Sevres rapacities already demonstrated be- fore the world's eyes: with strife ringing the Mediterranean, and in- surrection blazing East and West; and with the entire structure of Eu- ropean civilization really menaced, it 1s an hour when clear-eyed proph- ets should cry aloud the unwelcome truth about the world. Of course not all croakers are prophets--for which we thank God--but all true Prophets are willing to tell unpala- table tidings, as well as words of Sweetness and light. If a prison of some sort or other is the price that must be paid for fidelity to the truth that is of God, then "Welcome each rebuff, That turns earth's smothness rough Bach sting that bids nor sit nor strand, but go!"
