The International Sunday Sshool Lesson for February 24th 1s, | "The Period of the Judges."--Judges, Chapters 2-18. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. | "Mirrors of Downing Street' and "Mirrors of Washington," back- | stairs portraits of celebrities in { London and Washington, had their | little day and once again proved | the public taste for personalities. | This week the Sunday schools of [ the world are studying what might be termed "Mirrors of Old Israel,' | during the period of Judges. Here ,are vivid end piquant glimpses of | personalities; the Book of Judges is | crammed with what newspaper men ) call "human |[nterest." Who recails the doughty nephew of brave Caleb, Othniel by whom since 'blood will tell," came peace to | Israel for forty years? And do the | boys who love gory tales of adven- | ture know about Ehud, who craftily got into the presence of the fat king that was oppressing his people, and ran his big sword clear through his | | body, so that the fat closed In on the handle? There also was Sham- | ger, the hero with an ox-goad for a weapon. This, too, is the book | of Deborah, the woman leader, and | her immortal song beginning, | "For that the leaders took the lead in Israel." | Jael, her tent-pin and hammer, with { which she slew the defeated fugi- | tive king, Sisera, is a character in | this book of famous figures and un- | forgetable lines, as: | "The stars fin fought against Sisera." | "Curse ye Meroz . | i { their courses Because they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah against the mighty." { Gideon, also, he of the fleece, and the lamp and the trumpets and the | tests by the brook, and the victory | over the Midianites, occupies a large space in this story of the | Judges. Jotham,| and his curious fable of the trees electing a king, {is part of this meaty narrative. Jephthah's foolish vow, which cost him his only daughter, is a dra- matic incident told here. The rise of the use of the word "shibboleth," dates back to an incident in the Book of Judges. Samson, too, with all his pranks and his final tragedy, stalks through these stirring pages. Wonderful portraits of real person- alities are mirrored in this ancient and rich book. The Barometer of a Nation. Amidst all this diversity of indi- vidualities, there .was one master unity of life in Israel, That unity was the spirit of the people toward God. Although a unity, this spir- itual barometer of Israel under the Judges was as changeful as Penpsyl- i God first. own eyes. provincially-minded person is decelv. ed by these non-essential differences | of times and manners and forms. | What ailed Israel th ada and were prone to depart from simple ai- legiance to the living God. And what | restored Israel, again and again, af-| ter repeated back to simple obedience to Jehov- ah by some plain man or woman who dared to put his first duty first. That same remedy is the one sure cure for everything that js the mat- ter with our land and with our time. Why cannot this truth be seen in all its clearness and importance by those preachers and laymen who have turn- ed aside at the critical hour of the 'world's need and of Christianity's opportunity to squabble over theo- logical subtleties? The Immortal Three Hundred. In this interesting series of lively experiences which make up the his- tory of Israel under the Judges, we are called by this Lesson to focus especial attention upon Gideon, who was called to put the God-conscious- ness back into his people. The land had only been half cleared of Israel's foes; in things big and little, every task left unfinished makes trouble for those who come after. The Mid. fanites threatened Israel. So the summons searched out Gideon, who cautiously required many tests in proof that it really was God who had called him. Once assured, Gideon "blew the trumpet"--that trumpet for which so many ears are strain- ing, that its notes may rally the friends of God to the day's great task. Crowding close home upon our no- tion that we must have a great or- ganization, a national movement, a mass-petition, a list of influential names, before we can really do any great work for Jehovah in our. day comes the point of the Gideon story, which is that three hundred fit, fearless and faithful men are better than a mob of thirty-two thousand. A multitude at first responded to the call of Gideon's trumpet; and, as the familiar story tells, the crowd Was weeded out until only the three hundred tested men remained | --and by them the whole Midianite | army was driven from the borders of | Israel forever.

We study the story of Early Israel in vain if we see it only as a rather exciting assortment of tales of adventure and romance. The real character- istic is the record of the people's loyalty and disloyalty to Jehovah. What person of penetration will deny that the significant fact about our own land and time is llkewise its spiritual experience? All our: po- litical changes, all fluctuations in employment, industry and trade and all the varying moods of social con- sciousness, are merely phases of the state of religion among the people. Sound The Tocsin! Can this nation be awakened to the truth, which is just as clear today as it was in the life of those long ago Jews, that the one thing which really counts in a people's life is their atti- tude toward God? When men and women are loyal to the Lord, and put His honor first, then happiness and true prosperity follow. Contrari- wise, when this central stability dis- appears, and this supreme allegiance is shaken, then all sorts of lesser ev- ils continue the process of national disintegration, In halls of legislation, in schools of learning, in editorial offices, and, most of all, from every pulpit, should ring continuously in this day of crisis and change, the clear challenge of history to right all other wrongs by getting the people right with God.

Washington, Feb. 21.--Aided by a group of Republicans, most of them insurgents, House Democrats elimi- nated from the revenue bill the Mel- lon infome tax rates. By a vote of 222 to 196 a schedule advanced by Representative Garner, Democrat, Texas, was substituted. The bill as amended fixes the sur- tax maximum at 44 per cent. on in- comes in excess of $92,000, as against 50 per cent. on incomes ex- ceeding $200,000 under existing law, | and 25 per cent. on incomes of more than $100,000, as recommended by the Treasury. It also reduces nor- mal income rates to a greater extent than Mr. Mellon recommended, and increases personal tax exemptions, a feature not in the Treasury draft. The Democratic income tax sub- stitute provides: Normal taxes of two per cent. on incomes below $5,000; four per cent. on incomes between $5,000 and $8,000; six cent. on incomes ex- ceeding $8.0 A graduated 'surtax scale beginning at one per cent. on incomes between $12,000 and $14,000, up to a maxi- mum of 44 per cent. on Incomes ex- ceeding $92,000 Exemptions ot $2,000 for' single Montreal. | persons, and $3,000 for heads of families. : now. sands of girls and women throughout Canada who have been rescued from the clutches of anaemia by Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills.

By the Proposal to Abolish Wigs and Gowns, Dublin, Feb. 21.--~The bill which proposes to abolish in the Free State ithe traditional legal system of cen- turies and set up in its place a more modern system, has passed through the Dail and now is in the Senate. In the latter body much of the pre- liminary dischssion of the bill had to do with the question whether wigs and gowhs shall continue to be worn. The bill provides that the decision ag to whether the judges and mem- bers of the bar shall wear any spec- fal costume and what that costume shall be shall rest with the minister for home affairs acting with a com. mittee representing the legal inter ests. 'The legal profession is styongly attached to its wigs and gowns and the subject is likely to lead to heat- ed discussion because the govern ment is in favor of some dignified costume that will impress upon the popular mind the realization of the change from British control of all law to the control of the Irish peo- ple. The power proposed to be given to the minister for home affairs is challenged as an undue Interference with the Independence of the judic- fary. It is expected that the Senate will make several amendments to the bill. MODERN TREND OF YOUTH. Deplored by Church Leader--*Col- lapse of Restraint." Chicago, Feb. 21--One phase of cording to Dri W. 8. Bovard, corre. sponding secretary of the board of Sunday schools of the Methodist Episcopal church. "Parents have almost quit raising their children; teachers wear no badge of authority, and soclety in general refuses to train up children in the way they should go," Dr. Bo- vard asserts. "Even moral distinc, tions are denied if they offer the slightest barrier to the comple! satisfaction of life's many appetites. "Any hesitation to follow one's na~ tural instincts to the fullest is brand- ed as cowardice or hypoerisy. This teaching is finding its 'way into the thinking and living of our day. In this critical transition of authors ity it is our solemn duty to arouse the teaching capacity and kindle to & flame the spiritual devotion of the church in order that the on-coming generation may have an adequate pefsonal experience of God." 5 Operates 25,000 Appendici itis Cases One doctor in Europe fis said to _ 'have operated 25,000 appendicitis cases!
