NOTE OF PEACE BIRO HEARD
Says Labor Board Chairman In State
ment On Railroad Situation
Chicago. The railroad sltaution Is
hoeful, and by fall muny of the pres
ent ditliculties will.be smoothed out,
P.en W. lliHiper, Chairman of the Unit
ed States Uuilroud Ijthor Hoard said
In a statement reviewing the problems
before the board. Neither rates nor
wages are permanent, he Haiti, because
the conditions on which they are based
are not permanent.
Mr. Tlooper expreaaed the belief that
the railroads of the country will vol
untarily diwontinne contracting out
work in a abort time, regardless of
their opinions as to its legality, and
said that this will go a long way to
ward restoration of cordial relutions
between the carriers and employees. In
part he said:
"Amid all the muttering of discon
tent and rumors of war on the rail
rouds the note of the peace bird is
still quite audible to me."

I. Centrsl Thought ef Each Lesson
Gsthsred Around the Key Words ef
the Dsy's Lesson Subject, Namely,
Prosperity and Adversity.
A good outline Is the following from
Cramieira Pocket Lessons:
L Judith's Prosperity. Based on
(1) Itellanre on Uod, lesson 1.
(2) Courageous Venture for Uod,
lesson 2.
(3) Business Methods for Uod,
lesson 3.
(4) The Vision of Uod, lesson S.
(.')) The Law and Leadership of
Uod, lesson 7.
) Wise Leadership Back to Uod,
lesson 8.
2. Judah's Adversity. Due to
(1) Presuming Upon God's Bless
ing, lesson 4.
(2) Presuming Upon Ood's Pur
pose, lesson 9.
(3) Rejecting God's Word, lessoa

(4) Persecuting God's Messenger,
lesson 11.
O) Disloyalty to God and Man,
lesson 12.
II. Golden Text Review.
Assign the tens to your class the
preceding Sunday and ask them to
show how the lesson illumines the
text, or ask the class to prepare on
all the texts and have the members
of the class draw the text and give
the artswer.
III. Character Study or Portrait Re
view, i
Assign the following characters the
Sunday before: Asa, Joash, Jeholada,
Uzzliih. Isaiah, Hezeklah, Hilklah.
Jeremiah, Banich, Jeholaklm, Ebed
melech. Zedekinh.
IV. The Summary Method.
This method calls for the salient
facts of each lesson with a state
ment of Its outstanding teaching.
Note the following suggestions :
Lesson 1. Asa cleared the land of
Idolatry and called upon Judah fo
seek the Lord. Because he rested upon
the Lord, God gave him victory over
his enemies.
Lesson 2. Athallah attempted to
destroy the seed royal and then usurp
the throne. Jeholada checkmated her
by hiding away Joash for six years.
At an appointed time Joash was
crowned king and the usurper slain.
Every attempt to thwart Ood's pur
pose falls.
Lesson 8. Jesus arose from the dead,
showed himself to His disciples and
sent them forth ss witnesses for Him.
Certainty of the resurrection of Christ
Is essential to witness for Him.
Lesson 4. Uzzlah made a notable
civic and military record, but in his
pride he presumptuously Intruded
Into the priest's office. As a Judg
ment God smote him with leprosy.
"Pride goeth before destruction, and a
haughty spirit before a fall."
Lesson ft. Isaiah's vision of God
brought him to a sense of his sin
fulness. Man's supreme need today
Is a vision of God.
Lesson 6. Isaiah foresaw the end of
all strife In the world through the
establishment of Christ's kingdom.
Peace and restoration shall come to
the earth when CnrM shall come and
remove from men's hearts the cause
for strife.
Lesson 7. Hezeklsh led his people
back to God. Tills he did by means of
the passover feast. The only way for
a sinning and divided people to get
back to God and be united Is around
the crucified Lord.
Lesson 8. Through the repairing of
the temple the law of God wus found.
When It was read before the king
It brought penitent sorrow. God ac
cepted Ids penitence and sstMned
the evil dny.
Ieaaon 0. Jeremiah was arrested
snd brought to trial because he boldly
proclaimed God's word t the nation.
The one whom God calls to proclaim
His word should fulthfully discharge
his duty regardless of what men may
do unto him.
Lesson It). Jeholaklm tried to de
stroy God's Word by burning It. Try
ing to destroy God's Word will not
avert His judgments.
Lesson 11. Uectiuse of Jeremiah's
fidelity to God he wss cast Into prison.
Casting the prophet Into the dungeon
will not turn ualde God's Judgments.
Lesson 12. Nebuchadnezzar captured
Jerusalem and curried awav the peo
ple captives. Though Cod's Judgments
tarry they eventually fall.
In His Stsps.
Tor even hereunto were ye called:
becuuse Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an exumple. that ye 'should
follow his steps. 1 Peter 8:21.
