6 WHAT ARE WOMAN'S GREATEST POWERS? Sunday School Lesson Points Out B Her Spiritual Intuition; Can Perceive Real Values |BHRIST REWARDS THE BEST Story of Christ's Anointment and Eulogy of Mary by Saviour Discussed by Ellis OXE WOMAN'S IMMORTATj FAME Tlie InteriiHtional Sunday Sc-liool lips- Nin For October I Is "Christ Ai»- nointcd For liuriaJ" —Mark II: 1-11 (By William T. Ellis) It is almost uncanny the way this Book, called the Bible, sheds a new light on tho latest problems of the present time. Nowadays we have tho woman question perplexing every body, dividing thinkers into two camps, and between them both the cause of woman is made to suffer. In such a day fcs this the Sunday Schools have allotted, for the study, of mil lions, a story whl<?h reveals vividly the greatest gift and essential power of woman. In shining distinctness it is pointed out that the chief qualification of woman is her spiritual intuition. She is endowed with the ability to perceive tho real values of life. Her capacity and loyalty in love are but variations of bar ability to penetrate to the core of all things involving spiritual values. ■ in this sense of relative worth, HL which transcends all •arithmetic, for it is the divine mathematics of love, woman is dowered above man. By the exercise of her powers of spir itual Intuition she is to attain her highest service in the world. The Fragrance That Envelopes the World This story is one of the sweetest in the repertory of the common peo ► pie. The scene is laid at a large \family dinner in tho town of Bethany, a suburb of Jerusalem, where Jesus and Ills disciples were guests. The event of the occasion, which alone made the dinner noteworthy, was the action o£ Mary of Bethany, sister of • Lazarus, who broke an alabaster ves sel of pure nard—a superlative per fume, worth a working man's wages for a year—upon the feet and head of the Master, who had restored her j brother to life, and who had been 4L lecher and friend to her family. This was the very extravagance of < devotion. The guests gasped at the royal offering which filled the house where they sat. The anointing was a consummate token of lavish loyalty —better understood in the per fume-loving Orient, than in our I western land. Yet the fragrance of that offering has for nineteen hun dred years been sweetening this old earth of ours. The thrifty, "practical" and un sentimental guests were scandalized ■>• ' s;!ch extravagance. They were lisple:ujod that the Guest of Honor mould countenance such waste, and ■heir disapproval of Mary became in stantly clear to both her eyes and lier i ars. Chief among these pru faent and protesting ones was that keeper of the money bags, Judas Iscariot, wlto thought always in terms of lucre, and who straightway, with appraising eye, began to esti mato the possible uses of the money by the gift. < mtwardly H talked of giving it to the poor; Hilly hn wanted it in his own money KgS, where his avaricious lingers clutch it. ■ Poor Mary was shocked, embar ■ c<l and hurt m the reception I-hich her act was accorded by the Ither guests. A sensitive, spiritual lersonality, she quailed before this posUlc criticism. Her one thought had been of. her Lord. She was of Lliose who do not weigh and calcu late consequences. To her it was clear that her Master was worthy of her best: and that the highest use of any possession of hers was to cm ploy it in the service of love. She knew instantly—and wondered why the truth was not plain to everybody —that when . great loyalties call nothing else matters. A tientlemaii to the Rescue True Gentleman that He ever was, Jesus came promptly to the rescue ' of Mary, bewildered by the carping criticisms of these small-souled dis ciples. Only for an instant was she permitted to suffer embarrassment or rebuke; then she became covered with the embarrassment of eulogy. Jesus not only received her offer ing with gratitudo—and nobody in Give Your Blood The Vital Spark Drive Out Impurities and Make the Skin Smooth and Clear.

All true disciples of love are forever in debted to Mary for providing the oc casion for those words of Jesus upon the superlative worth of love and all love's offerings. Audaciously it must have seemed to His hearers, although He Himself never betrayed any doubt of His Gos pel's growth. Jesus promised im mortal fame to the deed of Mary. He declared further that her wisdom was greater than that of all His drilled disciples and of all the doctors of the law. Her intuition had outrun their reason. She saw what was hid from them, that Jesus was about to die. Her sensitive heart had caught the true importance of His repeated words to His uncomprehending disciples. This was her way of administering comfort and expressing loyalty. The Time For Love's Offerings Later on, in due time, Mary would hear spices to the tomb of her cruci fied Lord. Now, howeve* - , while He was living and while His heart was heavy with the burden of the world's woe and of the relentless persecution of His enemies, and while He was shut apart by a great loneliness, Mary would make her timely offering to refresh His weary spirit. No coun sel is commoner than this one that we should bear flowers to the living rather than gifts to the dead. Mar garet Preston has put it into verse: "Had T hut heard One breath of applause, one cheering word— One cry of 'Courage' amid the strife, So weighted for me with death or life— | How would it have nerved my soul to strain Thro' the whirl of the coming surge again. "What use for the rope, if it be not f.ung Till the swimmer's grasp to the rock has clung? What worth is Eulogy's blandest breath When whispered In ears that are hushed to death ? No! no! if you have hut a word of cheer. Speak it while I am alive to hear." I Her sense of spiritual values made Mary understand that love lives on lavish offerings. The rose has one value In the florist's shop; but it has a far greater value when it rests in the hands of the woman to whom it speaks of love and loyalty. In the eyes of Judas this alabaster vessel of pure nard was worth three hun dred pence; stoeaming over the per son of the Anointed One, it had a j worth beyond all appraisal. It had I come to its highest use. There is a hard utilitarian spirit which, in mistaken thrift, leaves life barren of the gracious gifts of love. The Orient, with its immemorial customs of gift-giving, is wiser than we. Surely no student of this beau tiful story will miss the meaning of the fact that Jesus promised im motrality of fame oniy to this one extravagance of loving devotion. Christ merits the best; Christ hon ors the best; Christ rewards the best. The Money Ijovcr at the Feast Aside from the Lord Himself and Mary, there w r ere three other parties to this incident, who are worthy of study. Space permits only a mere mention of them. In tho background, sinister, sub tile, scheming, conspiring, were the ecclesiastical enemies of Jesus. They had determined on His death. With the cunning of veteran plotters they planned that this should take place after the visitors who came to the feast should disperse; they were afraid of the multitude. Even then oligarchy feared the people; and then, as now, the best defenders of Christ and His Gospel were the plain people. The plans and presence of these enemies were well known to the Master, who nevertheless filled His social obliga tions and never let the secret of His own woe dull the joys of His friends. The host of the feast is a story by himself. Simon had been a leper but Jesus has cured him. This feast was his alabaster cruse or anoint ment; his offering of gratitude. All the resources and honor of his family were engaged to make this feast to Jesus and His disciples and flrcnds a worthy tribute of love. Of all the banquets of antiquity there is none so well remembered as this one. The Man With the Money Mind The other character who must be mentioned was the outspoken objec tor to Mary's concentrated and sac rificial offering of what represented possibly her whole store of savings. Judas was so indignant that he for got his manners. He ruffled the se renity of the feast by his churlish words. In the minds of men he is first among those who think only In terms of money—a state of mind which is its own punishment. What shall we say of the man with Judas' mind who sacrifices all things to financial gain and measures all of life by money standards? The antithesis between him and Mary is sharply drawn in this scene. That love of money is the root of all evil is Illustrated here. Avarice made Judas a boor, a traitor and a mur derer. All the while he thought that he alone was the sane, practical and business-like member of the group. FOR DUFF. FAlill IR OR ITCHY SCM.P--25 CENT DIOEBIE Girls! Girls! Save your hair!

It was instinctive in him to protest against what he deemed, such mad waste as Mary's act represented. Poor Judas! he went to the place of waste in his soul before ever he filled the suicide's grave; his senses had be come dead to the higher language of love and of tho spirit. His money seared soul was unable, to comprehend that it is only the things of selfish ness that are wasted; and that only that much of life Is saved which is poured out in uncalculated, unques tioning, unreserved love. life, and if not overcome it produces a feverishness and itching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast.
