Military Events Teach Many

A German church and a Kussian
church stand side by side on the top of
the Mount of Olives. Ever since the
Turkish censorship drew a thick cur
tain about events in Bible lands some
persons have been wondering: just
what has happened to one of them.
There they stand, great and beautiful
structures, both surmounted by high
towers that are the most conspicuous
objects in the vicinity of Jerusalem,
being visible even from Mount .Velio,
on the other side of the Jordan. The
situation is one of military impor
tance as well as of highest historical
interest. Doubtless the priests of the
Russian Church have been expelled
from Palestine, along with the other
priests and monks and teachers be
longing to the allied nations. Has the
church itself been taken over by the
Turkish army, as certain other
churches have been'.' if so, what has
become of the priceless treasures it
used to bold, including Vereschagin's
picture of the Ascension? Uttle did

world afire, and even reverberate
around the crest of the holy hill of
olive trees, driving forth from the
Garden of Gethsemane the gentle
Franciscans who have so lovingly
tended the flowers and the gnarled and
ancient olhe trees.
War is a schoolmaster with a rod,
and lie is teaching us geography les
sons. Thus present-day military events,
and the dear story of the I.ifc of the
Prince of Peace, unite to fix the setting
of our new Sunday school lesson upon
our minds. The Mount of Olives lies
directly east of Jerusalem, so that a
battery of rapid-fire suns in the tower
of the Kussian church could command
the city. Still, as of old, it is a hill of
olive trees. Much of its slope is now
filled with religious edifices, commemo
rating ••-'-•enes in the life of Christ.
There is a strange admixture of the
buildings of the West with the squalid
streets and houses of the East. Pil
grims from many lands climb this
rough ascent, for on this hill one
phase of Christianity ended and an
other began: on the hillside is the Gar
den of Oethsemane and from its crest
Christ ascended into heaven.
That fact is to-day's Sunday school
lesson. .lesus went up from earth, and
'His disciples remained behind to carry
on His mission. I'pon this handful of
unlettered peasants and fishermen,
\\ ho, however, had spent three years
in the school of Jesus' presence, there
devolved the tremendous task of con
tinuing Christ's work. Would they be
equal to the new responsibility? We
are reminded of the stories from the
trenches, of sergeants and corporals
who suddenly lind themselves in com
mand of companies and regiments,
llow well the apostles acquitted them
selves we shall learn in the year's
study of the early Church which the
international lesson committee has
laid out for us.
Unking: To-day With Yesterday
The new course of Sunday school
lessons, reinforced by the daily cable
grams. should clear up our thinking
oft Bible geography. The Book of
Acts, which we are to study, marches
over the whole ancient Roman world.
All the places mentioned are now in
the war zone. Some are centers of
special military activity. As we read
tlye war news we have in mind this
greater Christian battle, which has
charged the history of the whole world.
First we see it beginning at Jerusalem,
with a group of Spirit-fired, fishermen

What Happened to Jane •
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTER XXVI |
CCopyright, 1915, Star Company)
During the autumn days following;
the announcement of her engagement i
Jane Hardy found in her duties as a |
t eaclier something with which to i
fight off fear and foreboding.
She was in her class room each
morning in time to greet the most
prompt of her scholars. Often she
remained after school to go over
the next day's lessons and to cor
rect exercises. Even when she reach
ed home she retired to her room with |
her books. After supper she would j
clear the dining room table and, seated ;
by the lamp, would work through the
long evening.
Here her betrothed found her often
She would greet him pleasantly, then
glance at the papers before her in a
way that reminded him that her time
was not her own.
"Can't you get all that done be
fore night?" he asked occasionally. j
Her answer was always tfw same, j
"I don't want to neglect a thing, ;
Augusjtuß." (She had, after much
effort, trained her tongue to speak '
his first name.) "If I am to teach, |
I must do it well. Were r more ex- j
perienced, T might turn my work off i
more rapidly. But, you see, this is I
my first position in any school."
"And it will be your last," he de- |
elated one evening when she had i
given her usual excuse for not hav
ing what he termed "a good talk"
with him.
She looked al him. startled. "My
work is giving satisfaction, isn't
it," she questioned.
"Sure it is," he told her. "Don't
worry about that. But now that
we're going to be married I don't
mean to have you teaching school
long."
She ought to have learned to sup
press the inward shudder that his
mention of the future brought to
her. Yet she was able to hide any
outward evidence of her trepida
tion.
Jane Tries to Stave Off the Kril Hour
"1 like this work," she said, by
way of filling in an awkward pause.
"I hope to do better as the year goes
on. The first term is always the hard
est for new teachers —just as it is for
new scholars."
lie cleared his throat. "I've been
thinking," he remarked, "that I'd tell
the board lo get somebody to take
your place the first of the year."
"Oh, why?" she exclaimed, before j
she had time to consider what his j
answer might be. "You say I'm giv- j
ing satisfaction."
"Yes," he replied, "you're giving I
satisfaction to all hands. But my j
claim comes first, my girl—and II
want to get married soon. There's |
no need of waiting. Why not let's
get married around Christmas time?" I
And this was late October.
"I—1" she stammered, "I'm 1
not ready—it would take some!
months for me to get ready—l sup
pose that at least a year"—
He interrupted her with a laugh.
"A year, eh?" he repeated. "No,
Jane, not as long as that. I did
think of waiting for* six months, or
till the half-year at school was over—
centuries we see It sitting on the
throne of the Caesars at Constanti
nople, then, as now, a pivotal spot in
world affairs.
To-day is linked with yesterday by
this lesson on the Ascension. It is a
story of mingled triumph and depres
sion; of victory and of suffering. The
departing Teacher and King commis
sioned Ilis friends as witnesses —"mar-
tyrs" is the Greek word—and only one
of (he group died a natural death.
Martyrdom awaited them just a few!
years ahead: and now, behold, after
these nineteen centuries, we llnd the |
Church offering 1 the witness of a j
Kreater number of martyrs than ever
before in a 1.1 her blood-stained history, |
The land of the Lord is still the land
of martyrdom; and within the past six
months nearly a million Armenian
Christians have followed their cru
cified Lord in the supreme act of tes
timon.v.
An Karly Journalist's Feat
A convert on the mission field once
naively remarked, "1 like the Book of I
Acts best, for it is so full of real i
people. The new Christians there
have their faults and stumblings, just,
like us." As we begin a year's study
in this history of the early Church we
are struck by the singularly human
quality of its pages. Its characters are
real folks, who live and feel and act
like the mortals we know. It is a!
vivid bit of literature, and the fact that
il breaks off In the middle of things I
but ads to its power: for it was writ- I
ten down to date. The point has often j
been made that the Book of Acts was j
left unfinished and is still being con- i
tinned.
We know the man who wrote this'
narrative, and when lie wrote it and j
where and what were his sources of!
information. Luke, "the beloved phy- j
sician," was the author, and he wrote!
about. 63 A. D., probably in Home,
and, it may well be, in the very "hired '
house" where Paul was a prisoner. |
His facts he got warm from the lips j
of the very men who figured in the!
story. The book covers about the same j
| say along in February. But what's
(the use? As to your getting ready—
j why, I gueas there's not much money
to buy clothes with anyway—a.nd
I there's no need of your getting much.
I When you're my wife I'll see that you
have all you ought to have,
j "I guess I might as well go over
I into the sitting-room and talk to the
j old folks about our plans," he added
; jocosely when she did not speak. "Get
j through that work as soon as you
j can, for I don't expect to stay late to
] night. Just finish that exercise you're
| correcting, then come and talk things
i over."
She FUldg Herself (jetting Afraid
When he had left she arose and
closed the door softly. Then she
seated herself again at the table but
did not touch the exercise he had
told her to finish. There was no
i hurry about it. She had only made
lit an excuse for avoiding a tete-a
--| tete with Reeves. Her school work
I was her one refuge. Now even that
! was to be taken away from her, for
i she was going to be married.
She had known that it must come,
j but had not let herself think of it.
j Xow that she had her position in
jthe Milton school she had supposed
that she was safe there until Spring.
; But Augustus Reeves wanted to be
married at Christmas.
1 She found herself becoming horri
bly afraid; she dare not let fear pos
sess her. She had fought it away
often at late. She must do so now.
Perhaps her mother would raise
some objection to Reeves' latest,
plan. Her mother knew that Jane
did not have any money for her
wedding clothes that she must
work through the year and save from
her salary the sum needed to pro
vide the simplest trousseau. Surely
her mother would help her at this
crisis.
Springing to her feet, she put away
her work and hurried across the hall,
opening the sitting-room door so sud
denly that the group seated there
looked up in surprise.
Reeves gave vent to his chuckle of
satisfaction.
"Well!" he greeted her, "so you
have come to talk about our plans,
! too, have you? You got through your
i work soon, after all. r guess you just :
couldn't keep your mind on it after I
I what 1 proposed to you a while ago, |
| eh ?"
"Gus haw just been telling us,'; her j
j father said smilingly, "that there's
ilo be a wed dine soon."
"Yes," Mrs. Hardy supplemented.
; "Augustus has just been telling us
I all about it."
j "But, mother," Jane protested, you
[know I've not got the money to buy
'any new things yet. and I must"—
"Nonsense!" Reeves broke in.
"We've settled all that. The duds
you have will do till we're married,
j 1 gi 'ss. If not. why I'll see that you
are able to buy a dress to get married
in. It will only be a small home wed
ding anyway, a strictly family affair,
with no outsiders asked. I made up
my mind to that long ago."

three years.
Journalism claims Luke. He wrote j
the two most \ivid books in the Bible,
the Gospel that bears his name and
this Book of Ac-ts. lie was not a
philosopher or a preacher, but a re
porter, with a scientific passion for
accuracy. He hail no case to make:
he simply ''wrote the thing as he saw
it." Like a good journalist, he per
ceived that there was no merit in dull
ness: the Christians who make Chris
tianity seem uninteresting- get no sup
port from Luke.
Some readers may smile when 1 re
j news who, without recognition or
I Luke was modest. ' He never once
! mentions his own name. Xot one re
j porter or editor in a hundred gets his
own name into the paper. The world
is heedless of the self-immolating
service done by the men behind the
3neds who, without recognition or
I praise, are burning Mhemselves out
I that the world may have the facts
upon which all philosophy is based.
| Our reporter Luke wrote in Greek,
| and colloquial Greek at that, the
i equivalent of what we call "newspaper
English." His great story was too im
portant to be shut off from the plain
people by any barriers of "literary
style." A magazine editor said to me
a few days ago, "I'm glad to have an 1
I article fli straightaway, readable Kng

■ 'literary' that it has no clear message."

All the solemnity that attaches to 1

ceeded steadfastly to this filial experi
ence, when a cloud received Him out
of the sight of the eagerly gazing dis
ciples
"He climbed Love's ladder so high,
From the round at the top He stepped
to the sky."
For the space of forty days Jesus
had been on earth, after His resurrec
tion, appearing at intervals to His dis
ciples. Even at this closing: interview
on the Mount of Olives; His conver
sation had been "of the things pertain
ing to the kingdom of God." Is any I
warrant needed for putting first in our
thoughts the things that touch tlie
cause of Christ? Here we have it.
The. other theme—if it may be called
another theme, so inwrought is it in
the kingdom idea —touched upon by
Jesus was the coming of the Holy
Spirit.
That farewell. leaching deeply
stamps upon the Christian church the
seal of spirituality. Christianity is
not merely an organization nor an
edifice nor a code of ethics nor a set. I
of ordinances: it is the divine life of |
Christ in the spirits of men. The Holy
Spirit alone is the key to the mys
teries of our faith. Christianity is
both inexplicable and impracticable
without the Paraclete.
Basing her belief on the words
spoken by Jesus as He stood on the l
Mount of Olives, with the ascension 1
cloud of glory hovering near, and upon I
the writings of His apostles, the j
Church has for nineteen centuries ex- i
pected the return of Christ. So allur- j
ing is the theme that many have been :
led to extreme lengths of literalism j
concerning it. Thus, hosts of believ
ers expect Jesus to reappear in a cloud
on the Mount of Olives at the very
spot where His foot last touched earth.
They build largely 011 the phrase, "This |
same Jesus » *• * shall so come ill I
like manner as ,\e have seen Him go {
into heaven." Now that "in like man- j
ner" in Luke's Greek is 'hon tropon," 1
the very word that Luke also uses in j
his Gospel when lie quotes Jesus as 1
saying that lie would have gathered j
the children of Jerusalem, even as a |
hen doth gather her brood under her |
wings. If used figuratively in one |
case, why not in both?

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys
The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs, and the person dies and the
cause is often given as heart disease.or
disease of brain or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such a
risk to send 10 cents for a large trial
