Addressing Boy Scouts after an an- nual Scout marathon not far from his home in Hertfordshire, George Ber- nard Shaw offered the typical Shavian advice that for future contests the boys not sleep out unler the skies nor carry food, but take possesson of homes whose owners were absent, and beg their meals. Returning to his own home, Mr. Shaw found on his doorstep a troop of Scouts requesting food, and entering, found several Rover Scou.s making themselves comfortable for the night. No one enjoyed the joke better than G. B. 8.

Cause Is Found Of Babies' Disease Researches Reveal that Germs of "Summer Complaint' Spread by Horse Flies Toronto.--The future bids :air for babies of tender years as a result of a research on the dreaded "summer complaint" at the Hospital for Sick Children and announ~ed at the Uni- versity of Toronto last week. Known also as "acute intestinal intoxication," and characterized by vomiting and diarrhoea, the cause of the complaint has hitlierto been unkncwn, and hence its treatment has Fee: difficult. It is now shown that dysentery bacteria cause the illness, and that the microbes are spread by house flies. The research indicates the means for preventing spread of the disease when an outbreak occurs. It shows why ci.ses are more commen in poorer sur- roundings than in families in good circumstances. FATAL CASES NOW RARE. Importance of the findings is indi- cated by the fact that as many as seventy-five infants have died in the Fospital for Sick Children in a single year ns a result of the intestinal up- set. Now, however, the disease is ex- plained and fatal c:nses area rarity. Those responsible for this latest medical advance are Dr. Alan Brown, associate professc of medicine in chrrge of pediatrics et the University of Toronto; Dr. F. F. Tisdall, associ- ate in pediatrics; Dr. T. G. H. Drake of the Children's Hospital staff; Mrs. M. M. Johnston, hospital bacteriol- ogist, That the disease is caused by bac- teria is stated "conclusively proved." The kinds of microbes responsible are simliar to those causing mild intes- tinal upsets in adults as a result of the eating of food carrying the infec- tion, or by the drinking of watar con- taining germs which may nct cause fatal disease, but give rise to unpleas- ant symptoms, : The research has been so success- ful that it is regarded as entirely out | tish Isles?

They Sunday School Lesson October 30. Lesson V--The Chris tian and Law Observance (World's Temperance Sunday), Proverbs 23: 20.35; Romans 13: 1.7; 1 Cor inthians 9: 19-27; Galatians 6: 1- 10; 1 Peter 2: 11-17. --Whatsoever ra man soweth, that shall he also reap.--Galatlans 6:7.~ ANALYSIS. I. CO-OPERATION FOR THE COMMON GOG2, nonans 12: 1.7, II. THE LAW OF 1aRrvest, Gal. 6: 7-10. INTRODUCTION-- Religion and moval- ity are always in danger of becoming selfish in motive. The old view which thought of salvation as the rascuing of passenger from the doomed ship is seen now to be too selfish. "My Father" has given place to "our Father." A Christian asks for no blessing for himself that he does not ask for all others also. Hence the matter of law observance is lifted above the merely individual good to the level of the common good. °° I. CO-OPERATION FOR THE COMMON Goon, Romans 13: 1-7, Paul's appeal for law-observance was much needec. The Jew always chafed under the necessity of a child of Abraham beirg subject to any other nation. Many of the Roman Chris- tians were Jews. They never forgot, Deut. 17:15. "Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar or not?" Mark 12: 14 reflects the sume attit' de. Even among Gentile Christians some may have considered that their loyalty to "King Jesus" absolved them from obedience any other.- activities of the Christian Jews, es- recially among the Gentiles, always uroused the anger or the orthodox history refers to riots among the Jews which resulted in some expul- sions by Claudius. The Christians were often reported ts disturbers of the peace (Acts 17: 6) and enemies of Cemsar. Paul argues that the very existence ofegovernment indizates that it is ox- dainec of God. Government exists for the good of the social body, protecting it from harm, assisting all that is for its good. He could honestly stand up for the Roman authority. I. meted out a rough justice, protected life and property, was oa the whole, a good government. The ma who broke its law, breeding anarcty, and even a bad government was better than an- archy. The fear motive does not enter into obedience to the law. The man who obeys does not fear the police. Judges, magistrates, policemen are his a terror to good works," v, 3. What if they are? When it is "my country or my conscience" a Christian's duty is clear. "My country, right or wrong" is not a Christian's motto. To the enemy of society, law is the agent of God, v. 4. "He beareth not the sword in vain" refers to the sword by which criminals were exe- Golden Tet: Then, the proselyting 9, Jews, Acts 13: 44f; 17: 4f.

Paul does not ask for a blind obed- ience to law, v. 5. He asks lor co- operation for the common good. The security of society, the success of all good depends upon u stable, well-or- dered government. The man who keeps the law simply because he is afraid of the police is a poor citizen. II. THE LAW OF HARVEST, Gal. 6: 7-10. In Paul's day, as in ours, people sowed to-the flesh and then wondered they did not reap to the spirit. Let cme great financial loss overtake some good man anu we exclaim, "Strange that such a good man should get that!" It is the old Hebrew idea still persisting, tha' religion will bring a man health, wealth, and the absence of the unp.easant. God does not insult a man's virtue by paying for it with such poor rewards as dol- lars and good meals. He pays in kind. If a man devotes himself to making some worth while contribution to the world, he will accomplish his end in character and in achievement, but he will not likely get rich, nor avoid the unpleasant, and will proba- bly break down in health and die quite young. "Whats~ever a man soweth, t' at shall he reap" (v. 7), nothing else. Sowing to the flesh (v. 8) refers to such gross sins as drunkenness, sexual impurity, which leave their disastrous consequences, It refers also to ail those "sowings" whose harvest, good in itself frequently, end with this life. These sowers for earth have their harvest here--"corruption," that is, possessing no quality of permanence. "Sowing to the spirit" is interpret- ed in v. 9 as "well-loing." Again the rewards are natural, not arbitrary. The reward of a kindly act performed is a kinder spirit in ore. A giving up of something dearly prized for love, brings as its natural reward a char- acter more like cur self-effacing Master. Qualities such as these are eternal--provided one keeps it up, v. The conclusion of the argument is significant, "So then, let us work that which is good towards all men." That is, live nobly for the sake of others. Lose sight of the needs of the Brotherhood, and your own religious life will wither. Remember them; they and you will grow together unto the fulness of the stature of Christ.
