I tried to kill the hornets singly, but it took me a long time to dispose of even one. At last, on a hot night, I heated a poker red hot and dropped it in the hole where they were. I never saw another hornet. The living fire of the gospel is wanted to burn not one special sin only, but all sins, from the human heart.” IT IS ONE OF THE MOST PREUIUUS ALVU Uhunluuo truths of the Christian Gospel that when Jesus Christ comes into the life, old things pass away, and all things become new. This does not only mean that old sins are forgiven and old habits that enslaved are overcome, but by the inworking of the Holy Spirit, the mind is renewed and transformed, the whole mental outlook on life is changed, and human affairs and their ultimate outcome are viewed in the light of God’s own Holy truth. These reflections are inspired by a reading of “Some Modern Problems," by Christabel Pankhurst. It is not so many years since Miss Pankhurst gained world-wide fame, or perhaps notoriety would be a better word, as the great protagonist of women's suffrage. A few years ago Christ entered her life, and she started to study human problems in the light of human sin and the redemption of Christ. Now she sees the days of the suffrage campaign as the “days of political childhood.” Her own large anticipations she de- scribes as based on ignorance, and she who once preached “Votes for Women” as the certain panacea for the ills of the world, now proclaims will all her heart and soul and mind and strength, Jesus Christ and Him crucified as the only hope of the nations and His glorious return as the one great event that can give to the warring earth peace and establish lasting righteousness among men. THE YEAR BOOK OF THE YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN Association for 1925 deals with the American dollar and how it is spent. According to The American Education Digest, here is the accounting: Living costs .............................. 241/2 cents Luxuries ...................................... 22 cents Waste .......................................... 14 cents Miscellaneous .............................. 131/2 c‘ents Investment .................................. 11 cents Crime .......................................... 81/2 cents Government ................................ 41/2 cents Schools ........................................ l 1/3; cents Church ........................................ 0% cents From these figures the compiler of the Year Book draws the deductions that the people of the United States: education. 6. Spend six times as much for crime and its punishment as for school and education. 7. Spend twice as much for school and education as for church and religious interests. 8. Spend eleven times as much on crime and its punish- ment as on church and religious interests. 9. Waste $19 for every 81 they spend on church and religious interests. 10. Spend $29 on luxuries for every $1 given to church and religious interests. If our Christian. people could be made to realize what these figures mean, and to set resolutely toward making a change in them for the better, then certainly the 48,224,000 church members gathered in the 237,945 churches in our country should _ have“ influence and power enough to start something THERE IS NO BOOK IN THE WORLD THAT HAS BEEN handed down as has the Bible, and we today study every con- sonant of the Bible.

Every one of these is mentioned in the Bible as king of the right country. Every one of the 29 is mentioned in the correct chronological and synchronous order. Remember, some of these kings reigned, like Rameses 11., for 62 years, some for two months. If you were going to write the history of this century. and had to get those little kings in’the Balkans and Germany and Austria and Italy down right in the synchron- ism and in their relativity, you would find a big problem. But the Bible has its kings right lâ€"R. Dick Wilda. Love thyself last. Look near, behold thy duty To those who walk beside thee down life’s road; Make glad their days by little acts of beauty, And help them bear the burden of earth’s load. Love thyself last. Look far, and find the stranger Who staggers ’neath his sin and his despair; Go lend a hand and lead him out of danger, To heights where he may see the world is fair. Love thyself last. The vastnesses above thee Are filled with spirit forces, strong and pure; And fervently these faithful friends shall love thee. Keep they watch over others, and endure. Love theyself last; and thou shalt grow in spirit To see. to hear. to know. and understand The message of the stars; lo, thou shalt hear it, And all God’s joys shall be at thy command.
