Golden Text.--Now abidetL 'faith, y hope, love, these three; and. the greatest of these is love. 1 Corin- 'thiaus 13: °13, 3 = THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING: TIME --AD, 51762. - . PLACE.--THb city of Corinth, . {a the lower. part of the Greek Penin- sula, about forty-five miles from Athens, . . ir. "After these things he departed { from Athens, and came to Corinth." 'Corinth liad perhaps the largest popu- lation of uny city which St, Paul had as yet visited with the exception of Antioch in Syfia. ' "And he found a certain Jew nam- » -ed Aquita, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, wit. his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had com: ~.. manded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came "nto them." What great surprises he has for us a in the moments of discouragement! 5 Paul yd not been in Corinth long i. before he met a certain Jew, 'Aquila, and his wife, Priscilla, who had been : driven from Rome by the edict of 4 'Claudius.

"And he reasoned in the synagogue, every Sabbath and persuaded Jews 228 and Greeks." Paul worked with his hands, as he tells us in 1 Thess. 2: 9, that ne might not be a burden to the Christians with whom he labor- i ed, "but his week's toil never divert- -- ed him from the great business of his life--proclaiming the Lord Jesus » Christ, | : : = "It | speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, of a clanging cymbol." Paul simply means to say that if he had the very eloquente of angels, speaking on the : loftiest themes, and yet did not ut- A ter the divinest truths in love, fit . : was only noise. : » ~ "And if 1 have the girt of "proph- + ecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, 80 as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing," Though a man should be used as a channel for direct revelation from God, profound: mr ' ly versed in the deepest mysteries of life,' and even powerful in faith, and yet is-vold of love, he is to be reckoned simply as nothing. What- ever God may be pleased to accept - through «such a man, he is person- "ally_ worthless.

"Love vaunteth not itself, and. is not puffed up," Love doeg: not, parade; her gifts, swells not with self-conceity | heel "Doth. not, hehata, itself unseemly." NV The phrase' means to behave. in an : unmannerly 'or untactful way. "Seek-{ eth not its own," Love refrains from »¥ demanding precedence, recognition, which might rightly be expected. "Is ed by injuries, whether real or sup- bgp e posed, "Taketh not account of evil" Te Tove does not register evil. It stores up no resentment and bears no malice. "Rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but refofceth with the truth." (See Psalm 6: 4, 6; Hosea 7: 13; 2 Thess. 2: 18.) Profesgor Moffatt has very beautifully" translated these words as follows: ' e is never glad when _others go wrong; love is gladdenad "by goodness." ° "'Beareth all "this passage means thdt love is proof .against, all things, Love protects one © from foes . and when one has to endure them, "Be- leveth: all things." Not that a Chris- 'tian should knowingly anc willingly suffer himself to be imposed upon, not that he should deprive himself ny of prudence. and judgmert so that 4 he may be, the more easily deceived; but that he should esteem it better . to be deceived by his kindness and gentleness of heart than to injure his brother by naturai suspicion. "En- A dureth all things," Patient even in moments and days and long, long years when hope is deferred, love grows not: weary under the burden of prolonged delay, it holds fast, hopes on, bravely pergcveres, "Love never faileth: but whether \ there be prophecies, they shall be done awdy; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it ghall be done. away." > Prophetic. utterances will one day cease hecause there will be no need for them.- All predictiens will be fulfilled, "For we know in part, and we pro- phesy.in part. But when-that which CHOO| EssON | | tial knowledge passes: away. \ SIRI IEE TL iB is perfect is. come, that which is in part shall be done away."

A man's knowledge is so much greater: than a'child's, and, con: sequently, when reaching maturity, childish conceptions zare put away. "For now we see in a mirror, dark- ly." The little conjunction for should not be passed by: It confirms the preceding illustration; for, as child- hood to manhood, so this life to the lite-to "ome. "But then face to face." Our knowledge ir glory wll be im. mediate, intuitive, without imperfec- tions. "Now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known." (See especially John Gives Dutch Treat 13: 7 and 1 John 3: 2.) Heaven fis the place where all our questions are going to be answered, and all our doubts and challenges met, "But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love," It is wrong to say that Gertte Ter Maaten, 15-year-old American-born Dutch girl of Norfolk, Cal, gave spectators a treat with her milking, butter- = churning, and husking, as she won title of "Champion-Farm Girl." faith and hope will have no place in. heaven, and 'Paul does not say this." In fact, he says that all three --{falith, hope, and love abide, but that, of the three, love is the greatest. Love believes all things, and hopes all things.

"Dance of the Earth" Vibrations sét up by the recent hurricane passing along the Atlan tic coast were so strong in Philadel. phia that they made it impossible to interpret the record of what was apparently :a violent earthquake om tute at about 9.30 p.m, on Sept, 18, The earthquake detectors make light on a drum covered with photo- graphic paper." Minute earth trem- ors, known as '"microseisms," are highly magnified and cause the spot to move back and forth, producing a wiggling line when the 'paper is developed. The record of a distant quake produces a scries of wiggles, some small, other large, and its dis- tance js determined by accurately measuring the time between the dif- ferent phases. Microseisms, namely, little earth- quakes, are registered almost con- tinually on seismographs, but those registered on the afternoon of Sept. 18 were far.biggey than had even been seen before at the Franklin Institute. The records of the even- ing showed microseisms even more violent. They actually showed the "dance of the earth" to the"musie of the hurricane," / Phones That Burp Annoy Britishers An Alcoholic Flavor Added to The Most Sober Chats LONDON --- Long-distance tele- phone calls in England have now taken on a faintly alcoholic zest, punctuated by hiccups. Every three minutes, no matter how sober both parties: conversing may be, they hear a sudden interrup- tion of four breezy "wheep!" notes. One conversation might go lige this: "Hello, darling." "Yes." . "Afraid I'll be a bit late tonight." "Oh, Henry! Now what?" 7 "Well, there's a lot of work piled up--wheeps!--and I, er, I've to sim- ply got--wheeps!--I mean to say, you know how I hate--wheeps!--to "n "Oh, Henry! You've been drink- ing." . The harrowing "burps" are the new form of automatic warning to telephoners that three minutes are up, replacing operators who former- ly called time. Cleanliness Is Most Important to Beauty Attribute Said to be Next to Godliness is Also Foe to Dowdiness. The loveliest coiffure and the most perfect makeup are wasted on a wo man who wears a wrinkled suit, fad- ed blouses or soiled gloves, Beauty means perfection from head to foot, and the first step toward perfection is neatness and immaculate cleanll- ness. One should hathe every day, of course, and use a deodorant after each bath or a non-perspirant as of- ten as needed. There are prepara: tlons which, if applied twice a week, will prevent perspiration underneath arms. If your skin is too sensitive for these, get a milder variety and use it oftener. It sounds fantastic, but there real: ly are girls whose necks and cars, occasionally resemble = thosé of a. small schoolboy, fresh from a game of baseball. With soap and wate available to everyone, at a price all can afford, there is no excuse for this. If you cannot send clothes out 'to' be cleaned and pressed, buy a gallon' or two of odorless non-inflammable Jeleaning fluid and clean everything yourself. Allow yourself one night a week to go over your wardrobe and. to do a few necessary beauty rous. tines. Clean your clothes and let them dry while you are giving yourself a facial and manicuring toes and fin- gernails, then press everything care- fully, White collars and cuffs sel dom can be wory tho second day. Stockings and white washable gloves never can be worn the second day without washing. If you possibly can manage, put on fresh underthings every morning.
