Despite the danger, he kept at his task and earned his reward when he saw the munition storehouse burst Into flames. The smoke from the burning depot can be seen ascend ing. The aviator returned to his own lines safely. Her Choice. Haiel was at a loss to make a choice between two young sprouts In her gar den of love. She desired a hardy plant, one that would thrive In any soli and under any conditions. No shadow must prevent the sprout selected from growing. Every day could not have Its full allotment of sunshine. Which would she choose? IOIther was pleasing to the eye. Then came n day when the wind blew hard a draft from one end of the country to the other. One of tho sprouts withered from the biting blast. Tho other thrived and grew as though It had been blessed with continual sunshine. Now Hazel Is happy. Her choice has been made. an ENGLISH WOMEN DRIVE SIDE CARS r- To tho left is Matthias Erzberger, head of the Catholic Center party, who Is believed In Europe to have been a factor In causing tho pope's peace proposal.

The day that tho men of the Ninth division completed their rifle practice nt Fort Harrison a little dog was out on tho range, running back and forth In front of the targets. When a bullet hit one of the targets with a "zing," the little dog would rush up to the tor get with a yelp, barking at tho target until another "zing" attracted him to another target. For more thnn an hour he bounded back and forth In front of the targets, a fearless little venturer In "no mau's lnnd," and finally when he was called oft, he trotted away not a whit the worse for his experience In front of the firing line of student of ficers. "I hope I have the same sort of n Jinx on the Germans' bullets that tho little mutt seemed to have on ours," Bald one fellow when the dog had been cnlled off the range. Indianapolis , News.

Prior to the trouble in Europe Ham burg and Havre were the two great coffee markets of the world, both re ceiving goods from the growers of all the world and storing them In wonder ful warehouses to bo re-exported ac cording to trade requirements. Today both these markets are totally elimi nated and It Is within our power to dominate the coffee trado of tho fu ture. Conditions for this are Ideal. In tho first phrce no duty Is charged on coffee Imported Into the United States. Sec ondly, we are well situated, geo graphically, to become the distributing center for this staple for the western hemisphere and should be the middle men for this line for tho bean grown In South and Centrnl America and the West Indies. Furthermore, our larger ports have many merchants handling this article exclusively. The Fates Have Itl Two young stenogrophers were dis cussing the camp at Ft. Benjamin Har rison, which, since they were young stenographers, means that they wore talking about the men out at the fort. It was the day after the commissions had been announced for the first train ing camp. "What do you think about It, hon ey?" Inquired the first. "I think It's a shame," replied the other. "Why, Audra, do you know that hack in July I had my choice of three of the nicest, good-looking fellows out there. Well, I didn't want to be a pig, so I Just picked the most promis ing. Now they have passed out those commissions. One of tho two I turned down is n second lieutenant, and the other Is really a captain. I'.ut George (George was the one I choose), George didn't get a tiling. That's Just my luck." Indianapolis News. PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE. LESSON TKXT-l'natms W nn.l 128. UOl.DKN TKXT They that now I. teara thull reap In Joy.-Fsnlnu 126:5. These I'saliim breathe the spirit of the true patriot. The Psalmist sees his atilicted country suffering for the sins of the people, prays for their restoration to the Idvlne favor, and with Uie eagle eye of faith anticipates the Joyful day of spiritual and tem poral blessings because of restoration to the Dlvlno favor. Doubtless such patriotism would be pleasing to the Lord on the part of us all. Psalm 8T. I. Pfalse for Mercies Received (vv. 1-3). Praise Is given for i (1) Deliverance from Captivity (n 1). Ho had In mind the specific mercies of a given time; perhaps It was one of the oppressions of tho Philistines from which they hnd been delivered. There seems to be no good ground for thinking that this was a deliverance from the Pnbylonlnn captivity. His praise Is given to tho Lord, the name, iwealed to Moses when the people were In bondage. It was fitting for him to appeal to God by the name which expressed the Divine attribute most concerned. The centrnl meaning of the name Lord is the Unchanging, Self-Existing One. (2) Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 2, 3). "Thou bast forgiven the Iniquity j covered all their sin." God's restore U n wns the proof that he had par Fned. Great Indeed won the sin of; Jacob, but God's forgiveness was great-, er. He Is peculiarly a God of mercy. Having forgiven the sins his anger l taken away. He stayed his hand from, the Judgment which would hnve Justly fallen, to show his mercy. Many times he does this with us. The reason he can do this Is that he has found a' way by which he can be Just, nnd at the same tlmo Justify the sinner (Rom J 13:20). In Christ's atonement all oar Bins are blotted out, covered up, and because of this God's burning, fierce anger Is turned from us. II. Prayer for Restoration From Backsliding (vv. 4-7). He knew how worthless the outward blessings of the Lord would be unless the people Inwnrdly turned to the Lord. He, therefore, besought tho Lord to give them the greater blessing, that of a change of heart. Without the change of heart forgiveness would bo futile. A change of heart can only bo by God's help. Salvation and restora tion is only possible as God bestows enabling grace. No one can come to God by his own efforts. It was for this reason that the Psalmist prayed that God would turn them. Only as the, people turn from their, sins can God's anger he turned aside. Two things ore prayed for: , (1) That God would turn the hearts of his iM'oplc toward himself (v. 4). Knowing tho people's utter helpless ness to turn to God, he cried out to (od to save them by turning them to himself. Ho knew that God's auger could not turn from the people as long as they were Impenitent. (2) That God would take away tho very remembrance of their sins (vv. 0-7). (a) Tho ending of his anger (v. 5).' The desire seems to be that he would wipe out the very marks of his dls-1 pleasure by not longer allowing pun ishment to be meted out to them. (h) Tho return to the people's Joy (v. C). Their Joy could only be realized through a revival from God. The Psalmist now becomes more bold In his requests. He Is getting near enough to God's heart to know that ho delights In the welfare of bis children, delights In their Joy. Tho sure proof of a re rival Is Joy. , (c) Shall show them mercy (v. 7). "Make It visible," Is his cry. God's Judgment was most real. Ills desire Is that his mercy would be Just as real. III. Exultant Anticipation (vv. 8-13). Having spoken the sentiment of the repentant people, the poet expresses confidence of the Lord's response.. So faithful Is God that those who sin cerely pray fo him can go forward with the assurance of petitions granted. (1) "He will speak pence" (v. 8). Ho knew thnt n gentlo answer would come, but Its coutluuanco would de pend upon tho fidelity of the people. Turning to folly would provoko aguln his wrath. (2) Will bring his salvation near (v. 0). Only as his salvation was near could glory bo In the land. (3) Devise a way by which "Mercy and truth," "WghtAWjsness and peace," may be united (vv. 10, H). He did not suggest a way. He may not have known It. Faith now seea the woy In Christ. In him such a union has been blessedly cfTected. (4) The land shall become fruitful (v. 11). When sin Is removed, temporal pros perity shall follow. Earth's barren ness Is due to sin. When the curse Is removed frultfulness shall follow. (5) Itlghteousness ahull be the guldo of his peoplo (v. 12). In that golden, glad ago God's right eous ways will leave a track In which his own may walk with security. Psalm 120. I. The Fact of Zlon'a Deliverance (vv. 1. 2). (1) By whom (v. 1). The Lord. (2) Effect of (vv. 1,2). (o) Tho peoplo were scarcely able to believe It. So sudden and unexpect ed was their deliverance that It seemed to them ns a dream. They ex pressed their feeling In Jvftil laughter. (b) The heathen noted their deliver ance as marvelous, and ascribed It to .. God (v. 2). - T
