1 BETTER TIKE II LOOK IT JUDAS ire You Counting on Social or Church Standing to Get You to Heaven? RAYED BY A KISS 5 Avarice Eating Into Your Soul Like a Gangrene, Asks Ellis file International Sunday Soliool IJCS SOII For October 25 Is "Jesus and Judas."—Mailt. 28:14-25; 47-50; 27:3-10 (By William T. Ellis) Only a very few names are known to all the civilized world; and there Is but one that is the synonym of treason, ingratitude and black dis loyalty. To say "Judas," is to call up the world's one personality whose name is synonymous with all that humanity instinctively despises. The worst adjective that can be fcppUed to any man to-day is to call him a "Judas." Yet "Judas, the Traitor," was once Judas the loyal, warm-hearted, as piring Jewish patriot, seeking to fol low the best light he could find. As ti mother sees her innocent babe in the face of her murderer son, so we cannot help recalling the other Ju das the man who might have been. Orthodox —But a Traitor Only one of the twelve apostles came from ultra-orthodox Judea, and he was Judas. The aristricarcy of the Jewish religion was found in the province of Judea. They counted themselves a little more loyal to Je hovah and the law, than their fellow Jews from other parts. By ancestry and environment Judas had greater advantages than his comrades. He was the ultra-orthodox disciple whose home was nearest to the tem ple and its religious privileges. If any man is counting on his fam ily line, or his social and religious standing to deliver him from disloy alty and sin, he would better take a iong look at the case of Judas. No man is so high that he may not fall low. Church membership does not save one from treason to Christ. Even activity in religious work is no guarantee that one may not fall into grievious sin. The first simple message of the Judas story is to be self-distrustful and modest. "Let him that standeth take heed lest he fall." "One ship drives East, another drives West, While the selfsame breezes blow; 'Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales, That bids them where to go. "Like the winds of the air, are the wars of the fates, As we journey along through life, 'Tis the set of the soul that decides the goal. And not the storm or the strife." My Way, or Not at All No man knows the hour when Ju das, the loyal, expectant and trust ful disciple, began to change into Judas, the resentful, scheming avaricious traitor. Evidently, his first disloyalty was unwillingness to trust Christ's plan. In common with the other disciples, he did not ap prove of Christ setting up a spirit ual kingdom instead of a temporal. All his expectations had been di rected towqrd the restoration of earthly power. He had always held in mind the possibility of a large place for himself. Sure of his own worldly ■wisdom ho could not agree to what lie regarded as an anti-climax for the career of Jesus and His friends. He represented a large number of us who are willing to serve God, but on our own terms. Then Judas was a lover of money. Avarice ate Into his soul like a gan grene. The old church fathers la beled avarice as one of the seven deadly sins, and with reason. It is not only a sin in itself, but it begets a whole swarm of other sins. Perfectly respectable and law abiding persons are the ones likeli est to be overwhelmed Iby this sin of avarice, which slays more souls than the sin of murder. We are fond of calling it "thrift," "prudence," "business sagacity," when it is noth ing but sheer, stark, ruthless love of money. Avarice made Judas a murderer and a traitor; even as it has changed many another God fearing man into a hard, cruel, sus picious, money-grabbing oppressor of his fellow men. In the black shadow of the Judas crime may we not for swear solemnly the beginnnings of the deadly sin of avarice? Kuiyiing; With a New Crowd Sweeter, tenderer and more beauti ful than all the prayer meetings ever held was that which Jesus shared with His disciples on the last night in the upper room. The com fort of that gathering has blessed the world for' nineteen centuries since. Judas shirked it. He had no taste for prayer meetings—a symptom of his moral and spiritual decline, which he did not fully realize himself.

Imagine the horror if it! Judas who had walked day and night in the sweet fellowship of Jesus and the Eleven, was now consorting with the Pharisees and priests and aristo cratic foes of Jesus. We seß him next the center of a crowd made up of temple police, Roman soldiers and the blood-thirsty mob. Littl-j joy he had in this company. Nor did they have any more pleasure in him. In all that mob who accompanied him to the trysting place of Jesus, there was none so low as to respect the traitor. He had betrayed his manhood. The very men who used him, cast him off, and bade him bear his own sin and shame. No man ever was permanently satisfied with a bad bargain. News has recently come from Ireland con cerning a well-known figure in the financial world, who was a passen ger on the ill-fated Titanic. He used his authority to secure a place in one of the boats, although many women and children were drowned. The whole world pointed a finger of scorn at him. He was obliged to retire from all his official positions. Now he has secluded himself in an Irish estate, where even the peasants curse his name as they pass his gates. In every bitter hour of the existence that he thought would bo sweet life, he now knows that death were far better than this odium. He betrayed his manhood and has learned the Judas lesson, that he gave all and got nothing. It was logical that Ju das shoud kill himself; for all that makes life worth living had been killed for him by his denial of his own manhood. Love's Sign as Treason's Token Some persons deny that there is a devil, but no explanation short of Satan himself etui account for the act of Judas, when he came to point out his master and friend to his murderers. Disappointment, ambi tion, overwhelming avarice, might account for his trafficking with the enemies of Christ, but to betray him by a 'kiss—that needs Satan for its explanation. It was not a casual kiss, a dainty peck at the lips, such as we see two women give when they meet. The Greek word shows us that Judas kissed his master with all the pas sionate ardor of unrestrained affec tion, a better translation would be— "He kissed Him again and again"; as the prodigal's father kissed his returning son; and as the grateful woman kissed the feet of the Master. The same word is used in all these cases. Delilah's betrayal of Samson was not comparable to this horrible simulation of the highest devotion for the purpose of tho lowest be trayal. "Ilail! Master!" The familiar and affectionate old greeting of the comrade days when the Twelve traveled together with their Lord, was the word that accompanied the act of berayal. There was not one of the beholders, who possessed a vestige of manhood, that did not loathe this ingrate's act, as he thus sold his best friend to death for the sake of a few pieces of silver. Those who have looked most deeply into life, are assured that one of the master-words to dominate con duct is loyalty. The good business man and the politician alike count this the cardinal virtue. They stand true to those who have any claim upon their allegiance. Loyalty alone is worth while. Friends may prove false, but we, at least, may stand true. As Shakes peare says, "Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds." The simple reason why thousands of American homes are being ship wrecked is that they have lost sight of the pre-eminent place of loyalty, which transcends even the obliga tions of love. In religious work, in business, in politics, in social life, loyalty is the virtue which, perhaps more than any other, la called for at the present time. Judas was the .freatest of all hu man catastrophes, the completest of: mortal failures. Let us learn from I his abject figure that It Is only worth while in life to follow the example of Judas' steadfast Master, who "Having loved his own he loved them unto the end." "SNITS" FACTORY BUSY Special to The Tdigraph Wayesboro, Pa., Oct. *3.—One of the leading industries at Mont Alto is the evaporating plant owned and operated by Omwake Brothers & Co., of Greencastle. The factory gives em ployment to thirty women and several men and is running on full time each i day. The capacity of the plan is from 325 to 400 bushels of apples each day which are grown by D. M. Wertz, the | large fruit grower, who is a resident j of Waynesboro. Nothing goes to waste I FOR MHRIIFF. FILLING HI OR ITCHY SCALP—2S CENT DIIERI Girls! Girls! Save your hair!

Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it imme diately dissolves every particle of dan druff; you can not have nice, heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff.

The parings and cores are dried and sold to parties who make "apple jack" or brandy from them, while the fleshy part of the ap ples go Into "snits." Over two car loads of evaporated apples have been shipped to market from the Mont Alto plant already. The plant will be in operation until the middle of No vember, or just as long as apples are bought there. SUCCESSFUL HUNTERS Special to The Telegraph Waynesboro, Pa., Oct. 23.—Guy Benchoff and Thomas Benchoff spent yesterday hunting in the mountains and returned with nine fine squirrels. Mo torman John Warnick and son, Harry I Warnick, have returned from a hunt | ing trip to Fort Loudon and brought I with them several squirrels and birds. life, and if not overcome it produces a feyeriahness and itching of the scalp; the hair roota famish, loosen and die; then the hair fails out fast. If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily, get a 25 cent bottle of Knowl ton's Danderine at any drug store or toilet counter; apply a. little as direct ed and ten minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made. We sincerely believe, regardless of everything else advertised, that if you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and lots of it—no dandrutY —no itching acalp and no more falling hair —you must use Knowlton's Danderine.
