LESSON LOOKS BACK ON YEARS Keynote Is Sounded in First and Last Titles; Study of Israel ■The International Sunday School Les son For DCCCUIIHT 26 Is "Review— The Lord's Gracious Promises to Israel."—Head llos. Ch. 14. (By William T. Ellis) With the Christmas music still in our ears, we are called upon to enter the New Year's mood of retrospection; for the present Sunday School lesson looks backward upon a year's studies in the history of Israel, and brings to_ a close this Old Testament cycle. With next week we enter upon a course of New Testament studies. The keynote of the year's lessons is sounded by the first and last titles. We began the series with a study in the time of the Judges, "God's Pa tience With Israel"; we ended it, at the time of the collapse of the North ern Kingdom and its captivity, with the lesson, ."God yearns over Israel." Between these two studies we have had nearly fifty lessons dealing with variations of the same theme—a wan dering people and a wooing Lord; straying sheep and a seeking shepherd. Now the year's review'ls entitled "Je hovah's Gracious Promises to Israel." Holding Nations to Account Bulking big on the horizon, as we look backward, is the truth that Je hovah is the God of nations. From the vantage point of the close of the year 1915 we ha've at least five thou sand years of history to study. So our body of facts Is large enough to enable us to draw, some general les sons. We are warranted 10-day In saying that "history teaches us" thus and so. And of all the deduc tions we may safely make from the long course of human history, none is clearer than that there has been a Supreme Power who has overruled the affairs of nations for certain moral ends. In other words, God deals with nations as units, as well as with men. We as a country must render our ac counting to Him, even as did Israel of old. No other people since the days of the Jewish nation have been In such a unique place of stewardship as we of this new western world. Certain great Ideals have been given to us in custody, and over every gateway has been written "opportunity." Now we have come to the time of testing and proof. Have we been good stewards of this grace of God? In a supreme moral crisis for the world arc we standing fast by the divine standards? Is our loyaity to God. and to the ideals which He taught our fathers, greater than our loyalty to self-interest and sordid gain? Amid the tumult of a world war we seem to hear anew the poet's call; "Fair Is our lot —O goodly is our heritage! Humble ye, my people, and be fear ful in your mirth!) For the Lord our God Most High He hath made the deep as dry. He hath smote for us a pathway to the ends of all the Earth! "Hold ye the Faith—the Faith our fathers sealed us; Whoring not with visions—overwise and overstale. Except ye pay the Lord Single heart and single sword, Of your children in their bondage He shall ask them trebletale!" 'keeping Close to Eartli There is no workable national ideal ism that is distinct from individual morality. There cannot be a noble nation whose people live ignobly. Na tional character is only the sum of in dividual characters. Nebulous piosity Is no asset. Mere pratings about un practiced virtues are worse than worthless. Only as the people work out into the warp and woof of their daily lives the great moralities can the nation itself be strong. So it was with Israel. We And the year's lessons crowded with stories of personal nobility and righteousness. The cornerstones of all God's buildings are men and women of integrity. So most of our studies have been bio graphical; and there have passed be fore us such personalities as Deborah and Barak, Gideon, Samson, Ruth Hannah, Samuel, Kli, Saul, David Jonathan, Solomon, Asa, Josah' T zEiuh. Klijah, Elisha, Daniel, Jonah Amos, Hosea and Isaiah. All of God's business on earth ia done through men and women. Biography Is history. The lives of these ancient worthies are the record of God's triumphs. They were the one greet asset he had on earth. As it was. so it Is. No truth emerges rnore.cleai'!;.' In this lesson review than that the only real strength of right eousness and religion to-day is the lives of true men and women. Hlfi Buildings or Great IJves? Apparently the present tendency is the oilier way, by the exaltation of institutionalism. We are in a brick and-mortar, rtcf l-and-stonc era. There is a passion for palatial buildings as denominational headquarters anil as Institutional cen.ers. Our Y. M. C. A.'s and Y. W. A.'s have had a mar velous record m !it w buildings in the past decade. We gloat over our con structions even as did Solomon. We want to dazzle the eyes of the world by our majesty and might. The pathetic side of all thi'i is that so many of our big buildings house only little men. It Is an open secret in Y. M. C. A. circles, for Instance, that the average secretary is in dire danger of becoming u mere hotel clerk and bookkeeper and financial agent, instead ol' a real spiritual leader. And in our great ecclesiastical centers we house well-groomed, thor oughly modern and conventionalized men of affairs, while the cry of the heart-hungry people goes up for lead ers, real leaders, men of God, men of passion, men of force, who dare defy the world and its usages and lead men and women back to God and the great simplicities.

A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; "Men whom the lust of office does not kill. Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; "Men who possess opinions and a will. Men who have honor —men who will not lie; , "Men who can stand before a dema gogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! "Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog . In public duty and private thinking. Everyday Religion ! A strange notion prevails, more widely than we think, that religion is wholly mystical and mysterious and other-worldly. A glance back ward over this year's lessons reveals how practical and close to earth many of its teachings are. For God's will is to be done first, on earth. The sphere for the .expression of religion is none other than the very place where we now are. Running over the list of lessons we find such practical teachings as the problem of temperance and civic serv ice. as represented by Daniel In Baby lon; of the royal results of the up bringing of a child, as shown in the case of Hannah and Samuel, and Je liosheba and Joash; of the possibili ties of high service through faithful witness-bearing in a lowly place, as in the healing of Naaman the leper through the testimony of a Hebrew slave girl; of property rights, as in the 'case of Ahal» and Naboth's vineyard; of the current question of feminism as represented, 011 both sides, by De borah, Ruth, Jezebel, Athaliah, and the Queen of Sheba; of the case of the spoofed rich young man typified by Absalom; of God's care of those whose provisions have run low, as instanced by Elijah. The value of these ancient providences lies chiefly in their appli cation to the analogous conditions of our own time. Of old, as now, the history we have studied shows God as patient and long suffering with Hts people. The lesson of the lessons Is in the Golden Text: "Johovah io merciful and graciouy, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness."

Great Storm Sewer Is Completed and Ready For Acceptance Completion yesterday of the bit? concrete storm sewer that *>xieiids from beyond the Harrisburg Boiler and Manufacturing Company's plant I to beyond Nineteenth street, will mark a further improvement in the Hill section south of Berryhill street which will serve, it is believed, to help build up that section.

It is of concrete, four I feet in diameter and carries off trio ! surface drainage of the section, in cluding the old Rudy "ice" dam. I SPOONFUL OF SALTS RELIEVES ACHING KIDNEYS We eat too much meat, which clogs Kidneys says noted authority. If hurts or Bladder bothers, stop all meat for a while. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; remov ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when tho weather is bad you have rheumatic, twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonfui in a glass of water before breakfast for a few daj's and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder: weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. it is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful, ef fervescent lithla-water drink. Ad vertisement.
