CENTRAL TRUTH OF T0M0RR0W8 LESSON
MpHI 18, 1915 International Series S3d rsalm.)

.W speech, as otic of the classic gems
challenged to nxako
It is the philosophy of faith in an unseen Qod.
This psalm teas written oy David, a man whoso Ufa
experiences were moro varied than the winds. He
soared to the greatest heights of regal splendor and
achievement and spiritual ecstasy; he sank to the deep'
est depths of despair sin, sorrow, poverty, persecution,
faithless friends, were all his lot. He ran the full gamut
from shepherd's staff to kingly sceptre,' he had moro
experiences than the average life is allowed. And out
of this great heart of experience comes this matchless
song of faith in an unseen but unfailing Jehovah,
The central truth is in the first verse "The tord
is my shepherd; J shall not want," A shepherd is one
to la followed by the sheep; tho sheep then will be "feU
lmnfA" Tiif th itlianhnrd. All that this fellawshln ot the
4 o1g,nt,i9 Imn.Jt Va
Mean provision, guidance, protection, comfort, all tho human needs for
, ''o and eternity supplied. But the shepherd's fellowship Is conditioned
pon the sheep's followshlp.
i. sometimes it means to follow down into death's dark valley of trial,
Vnere the "green pastures and still waters" are not seen, where there is
p "prepared table of plenty," and where the angels of "goodness and
wercy ,eWrt so jar awaik gn can y0U ting n jftj aark valley "The
f-ord is my Bhepherd"T
' e once knew of a wait toAo, in direst poverty of earthly goods coal
tin, purse and hrnml nnx rikntu. and without orosoeot of human aid sang
Kcetly "The Lord is viy Shepherd; J
" veil-ted infidels around him. He
fvown to them.

'THAT'S ANARCHY CRY
CHILDREN AS SUNDAY
WAVES RED BANNER
"That's I. W. W.," "That's
Emma," Kiddies Shout in
Reply to "Billy's" Ques
tion on Crimson Flag.
rATERSON, N. J., April y.-"K(ddles"
from all over North Jersey packed
Billy ' Sunday's tnbernaclo this after
noon, and watched him smash to pieces
10 China dolls which, ho said, stood for
tho Ten Commandmonts. Ho waved tho
flags of all tho nations on earth, Includ
ing flags llko yellow nnd black and
whlto nnd red lings, which belong to
nono of tho nations on earth.
Tho red Mag did it. Peterson's kiddles
"now what tho red flag menns. So, when
Billy" atood up at his pulpit and flaunt
ed his red. flag and asked the children,
"What's thnt7" tho kiddles cried, "That's
anarchy." Somo of thorn, knowing Emma
Goldman would bo In town tonight,
elpcd, "That's Emma." And a few of
them who had evidently heard of tho I.
W. W shouted, "That's I. AV. W."
It was really very funny. "Billy"'
thought it was, for ho Just held his sides
and laughed.
Before he started his children's sermon.
nnd taught tho kiddles, Just ns he did In
Philadelphia, moro geography than an
honest-to-goodncss school teacher could
In a year, he was told that tho anarch
ists had accelerated their plans In oppo
sition to Sunday and that Emma Gold
man, nccompanlcd by Dr. Benjamin Rclt
man, who would be hero at 7:30 o'clock
tonight and would go to tho tabernnclo
to hear him.
"Well," said "Billy," I'm glad to hear
It. The moro the merrier. A little social
gathering. Everybody wolcome. Wo'ro
not putting nny armorplato on the taber
nacle because tho lady Is coming. Sho
Is ns welcome as tho tulips In April."
If "Billy" hasn't yet won tho ndult
population of Paterson, ho certainly has
got very closo to tho henrts of tho city's
children. Ho had them raising Just about
the merriest sort of a din for moro than
an hour this nfternoon.
They liked him first rato ns ho broke
his dolls and said that was the way that
little boys that went fishing or played
marbles on Sunday when they wero sent
to Sunday school and then got Into lights
and had their clothes all messed and
told mother flbs about it, broko com
mandants nnd grieved Jesus.
Patorson's ministers and tabernacle at
taches aren't In the most pleasant frnme
of mind Imaginable today, for. though
"Billy" has won 930 convertsc In three
calls to tho train and the total collection
for tho 11 days of his campaign to regene
rate North Jersey amounts to nearly $11.
&CO, no's not satisfied, and last night he
sailed into tho aforementioned ministers
and tabernacle workers In characteristic
fashion.
Ho hit them so hard they winced and
nil but wept. Ho corraled them In one
corner of tho tabernnclo nftcr the night
meeting nnd gave them what he termed
"a regular bawling out." Ho did much
tho same thing In Philadelphia, but never
so vehemently. He threatened, unless
something happened, to say, "Paterson,
I'm through." Ho said he was tired ot
working with "dead ones." "Live ones"
In every big city of America, to say noth
ing of England, with tho possible excep
tion of New York, were calling him to
campaign for God. He gavo.Jhe clergy
men tho very dickens, telling them to get
down and mingle with tho tnbernacls
crowds and ask people to hit tho trail.
Bible Students to Meet
Leaders of tho neighborhood Bible
classes organized duilng tho "Billy" Sun

ested In them have been extended an In
