Bad Judgment Sometimes Displayed by Preachers In the Selection of Their Texts Curate' Odd Exordium. , New York. It was Dr. Cosmo Gor don Lang, archbishop of York, who, when he was bishop of Stepney, re marked, apropos of the children of the east end: "They are doing a great deal to rebuke the tendency of the clergy to become middle aged in spir it dull, morose and superior." And he told one of his favorite stories of aa east end ' cleric, who was feeling lifeless and disconsolate on setting out on his dally round' of visits, when a little street urchin looked up at him with a cheerful eye and knowing smile and said:, ' "Ullo, young man!" "That greeting Quite reassured the parson fa the rest of the day." Dr. Lang declares. And it was Dr. . Ingram, bishop of London, who once declared that a "sense of humor Is essential to suc cess.' If a young man has no sense of humor I would keep hi is at college until he got one." . But,, although many clergymen seem to lack that sense of humor which is so essential If their work is to be suc cessful and popular, there are occa sions when they themselves are the cause, unconsciously, of much amuse-, ment to others. The Rev. W. Cowan tells, for instance, how the "bull" at times- arouses the risibilities of the congregation and plays havoc with the solemnity of the occasion. "Brethren, I beg of you to take hold of your heart and look it straight in the face." . ' - The following is said to have been a preacher's peroration: "We pursue the shadow; the bubble bursts. It leaves the ashes in our hands." A London preacher a short time ago in vited "young men and women of all ages to attend his meetings, which re minds one of the memorable exordium Of the nervous curate : "Young ladles, or perhaps I should say young women, for I wish to embrace you all." Nerv ousness Is, indeed, accountable for some curious mistakes and laughable incidents. The ' preacher must have been nervous who gave out thfs text: "Heaviness may endure for joy, but night cometh in the morning." Apparently It is dangerous for the young clergyman to fish for compli ments. There is a story of a reverend divine who once asked a sexton how he liked the sermon. "I didn't like It at all," candidly answered that worthy. Iy, pray?" inquired the preacher. "First, because you read it; secondly, because it was not worth reading." And there was another young man very vain of his accomplishments as a. preacher, who, after officiating at a certain service for a Scottish minister who occasionally had to avail himself of the assistance of probationers, was met by the old gentleman with extend ed hands as ho descended from the pulpit Expecting high praise, he said. No compliments, I pray," "Nay, nay, my young friend," said the parson, "nowadays I'm glad ,o' anybody." ' Mr. Cowan points out that preach ers have a remarkable lack of com mon sense when choosing their texts. He has heard of an Edinburgh minis ter Who preached a sermon on a mis erly brother cleric . from the words, "And the beggar died." Another cleric In preaching to a society of physicians announced aa his text: "A certain wo man ... had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had, and was nothing better, but rather grew worse." This is a story, too, told of an old evangelical clergyman who had a son in orders. The young man became a full blown ritualist. On one occasion the father paid a visit to his son, who asked him to preach . in his church. For some time the old man refused, but pressed to do so, he at length ONE LION CUB'S HAPPY H0U3 Savago Young Beast Escapes From Owner and Kills Two Dogs Be fore Being Captured. Paris.

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 23 JOSHUA THE NEW LEADER. LESSON TEXT Joshua 1:1-9. GOLDEN TEXT "Be strong and of good courage." Joshua 1:9. "Now it came to pass" (v. 1). Things do not happen in the kingdom of God, they "come to pass." This world, na tions, families or individuals were not set in mo ion by a creator who has gone off neglectful of his creatures, nor has he left them to blind fate or inflexible law. Attention Is also drawn to the time, "after the death of Moses." The call was clear and unquestion ed, for the Lord "spake." Our high est responsibility is to that call which comes from the highest source of au thority. This call came in the time of great need, Israel is without a lead er. Then follow the first words of Jehovah to this newly chosen leader (v. 2) and which constitute his charge, "Moses my servant is dead, now, therefore arise." This suggests a prayerful attitude on the part of Joshua, but In no way is 1$ to be con strued that Moses was a hindrance to this forward march of the people of God. Rather, that Moses' work was completed and on the basis of his work an advance, was to be made. Moses brought Israel under a gov ernment of God, he nationalized Is rael. Joshua is called to conquest Verse three reveals the scope and the assurance of success in this new era, and notice, it is based upon God's word, "as I said unto Moses." This charge is two-fold, God's covenant on the one hand, and the conditions or terms of the agreement on the other hand. Verse four tells of the bound aries of this new kingdom. It is sad to remember that several -hundred years elapsed before the time when under David, Israel approximated these borders With them in this ad vance was to be Jehovah'B presence even as he had accompanied Moses. Obedience, to Law. The conditions laid upon Joshua were: (I) Confidence due to this prom ise of the presence f Jehovah (v. 6). The personal pronoun "I" is used seven times in these nine versed 'as though God would make confidence doubly assured. . Bt confidence alone was not enough, hence the necessity of "courage" (v. $). Strength is due to confidence and quietness, Isa. 3: IB, but courage is the active principle which is the evidence of our strength and courage. Conquest was not alone conditioned upon courage (v. ), but also upon the sure foundation of the word and , oath of Jehovah. But strength and courage are maintained by obedience to law whether it be physical, civil or spiritual, hence the words of verse 7, the possession of this land depended upon absolute un flinching, invariable Adherence and ob servance of the law, "which Moses my servant commanded." There is, in these last words the suggestion that Moses had best served and led Is rael because he was the close per sonal servant of Jehovah. This thought must undoubtedly have remained a vivid and potent factor governing the life of Joshua in the conduct of his newly appointed office. Confidence and Authority. But Jehovah never leaves his own (v. 5), Matt 28:20, nor does he leave t man to blind fate or fortuitous cir cumstances. Therefore we read sin verse 8 the counsel of Jehovah as to the method whereby Joshua and Is rael may "prosper" (v. 7) or according to the margin "do wisely," vis., they shall meditate upon the books of the law. This verse is enough for the entire class session. The leader, be he preacher or teacher, who has any doubt about the word of God, or stands dumb before the empty tomb had better seek, a new vocation for he is the apostle of a dying, disinte grating class or church and a decad ent faith. The origin of man, the mystery of life, the destiny of the soul, demands the, voice of confidence and authority not of uncertainty and doubt True prosperity and wisdom are conditioned upon our taking the word of God as the man of our coun sel, the light of our path, our daily meditation. The definite result of such a course is set before Joshua, and in addition he was promised the companionship (v. 9) of Jehovah every step of the way. It is interesting in this connection to remember that Joshua was associated with Moses in the first experience of war in the his tory of this young nation. Conclusion. The greatest lesson be fore us at this time is that of continu ity of the purposes of God.. As great and important as Moses has been dur ing his 40 years of leadership, yet he was not necessary. The instrument of divine deliverance, direction and discipline, yea, the voice of God to Is rael, the receiver of their complaints and of their confessions, yet now he has been removed. What a tremen dous blank he must have left Yet Israel is to go forward, there is to be no halting In its progress. God had been training men for 40 years, one of whose faith failed not at the sight of the giant3, one who had fellowship with the old and is now to face the new. We recall the . words of John Wesley, Inscribed upon his memo rial tablet In Westminster abbey, "God buries his workmen, but carries on his work." Each individual in the long succession of leaders has his ap pointed ta6k, and as he is loyal com pletes that task thereby preparing the way for a new leader. The abiding principles that condition each man's success are loyalty to the past and implicit obedient following of God along the new pathway; as Joshua said, "Ye have not passed this way before." The Golden Text Is in substance thrice repeated. First Joshua was to be Etrong and of good courage be cause of the work ahead of him (. C) ; second, he was to be strong and cour ageous in the observance of the law; aud lastly he was to be strong and courageous in order to avoid the per ils of fear and dismay which were to beset the path of advance (v. 9). A study of the remainder of this chapter reveals not only the orderly response of the people but that the people, as well as God, also demand ed of their leader that he Bhould "be strong and of a good courage." FilledWith the Spirit Br REV. JAMES M. CRAY. D. D. Deu of Moody Bible Inlilute cf Chicago TEXT Be not drunk with wine where in ia excess, but be filled with the Spirit. Epheslans 5: IS. The Holy Spirit is not a thing or an influence, but a divine person, because " in the holy scriptures there are ascrib ed to him the works, attributes and names of a person. This di vine person dwells in true be lievers on Jesus Christ He acts upon them not as a power from without, hut as a living reality with in. ''What, knew ye not that your bod ies are the temples of the Holy Ghost which is in youT" It is also true that when he comes to dwell la the be liever, as he does at his regeneration and conversion, he comes to dwell in him forever. But it seems to be one thing to be Indwelt by the 3plrit and another- to be Infilled by him, a distinction met with again and again in the New Tes tament Filled With the Spirit -The strong figure used in this chap ter gives an idea of what, is meant by being filled with the Spirit A man Intoxicatetd with wine is under control ( of that which ' has entered into him. His countenance, his walk. his breath, his conversation, his thought' give evidence of it So are Christians to be filled with the Holy Spirit that their very faces may de clare that they "have seen the face of God." Their conduct should be gov erned by him, their steps directed, their thoughts controlled by his in fluence and gracious power. This brings us to the apostle's prac tical application of this truth, telling us that when so filled we will mani fest the spirit of submlssiveness one to another in the fear of God. Wives will be submissive to their husbands as unto the Lord, and husbands will love their wives as their own bodies anfl as Christ loved the church. Let the , right spirit take possession of husband and. wife and domestic in felicity is at an end, but the rlpht spirit Is only and always God's, Holy Spirit Children and parents are next ad; dressed. The child who , knows the Lord, and. in whom his spirit dwells, will obey his parents because it ia right to do so. And parents in such a case will not provoke their children to wrath, but "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

The truest pa triots and philanthropists V are the men and women in our pulpits, our mission halls, and on the street cor ners testifying to the saving and keeping1 power of the Son of God. In other words it is not "social service" that the world so much needs today as It is salvation. The "social service" movement is good, and has a large constituency and large financial support. 'Several well known millionaires have each given a larger sum within a few years, for educational and philanthropic enter prises than all which Is spent an nually for the support of the whole number of Christian churches in the United States. Organizations and agencies for social betterment are multiplying today to a bewildering extent. There ia an agency to meet almost every kind of dictretis of man. woman or child, we are glad of it, but as a careful and wide observer has affirmed, "the more closely the facts are examined the more' apparent the Inadequacy and Ineffectiveness of the measure thus employed." And he goes on to ask, "As the limitations of social effort thus become more sharply defined, is it out of place to suggest that there may be a factor In the problem of great significance which has been almost entirely neg lected?" ' That factor, we believe, is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Bring men to Christ and let his Spirit fill them, and all our problems are solved. Without Hope. Without hope no man can succeed In life, but In 1 order to abiding ' achievement It is necessary to secure for one's hopes a sure and adequate foundation. Mere poetical and senti mental gush about hope will not serve the purpose of a sufficient and de pendable motive for conduct. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick, and a shallow optismlsm which assumes that all Is right wiflh one's life with out taking God into account is worse than no hope at all, since it deludes the soul Into a false sense of securi ty, and to that extent delays the at tainment of a true faith in the future which comes of a sincere faith in the Lord and his promises. Hope in God, and your hope will never be in vain; trust in the Lord and do good, and you will have an Indisputable right to be an optimist. Daily Thought. "The best and greatest thing a man or woman is capable of doing is his or her sphere," Wendell Phillips. When you are asked where and how is your little achievement going into God's plan, point to your master, who keeps the plans, and then go on doing your little service as faithfully as if the whole temple were yors to build.

No. 2, Jackson, MoJ "Our daughter who is ten months old was suffering from an eruption, all over the body. In the beginning they were small red spots and afterwards turned to bloody sores. We tried all sorts of ointments but they did not procure , any. relief for our child. - She cried almost day and night and we scarcely could touch her, because she was cov ered with sores from' head to foot. "We had heard about the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment and made a trial with them, and after using the reme dies, that is to say, the Soap and the Ointment, only a few days passed and our child could sleep well and after one week she was totally - well.' 1 X (Signed) August P.
