THE VICTORY THAT LASTS The International Sunday School Lesson For June 17 Is "The Risen Lord"—John 20:1-18. SY WILLIAM T. ELLIS The story opens with a woman weeping before a grave. A familiar enough scene; especially now women weep because they have borne most of the world's suffering. The vicar icusness of womanhood is at once a great sorrow and a great glory. are oftenest caused by death; there are worse griefs than this one, i but over it we weep most. The mys * terv, the silence, the separation of i death stirs the heart's deep foun tains. This woman had best cause for weeping. In the grave beside which she stood had been buried the body of her Healer, her Teacher, her best Friend; the personal loss was beyond measure. And in the tomb also had been laid away the hopes of a band 01 eager disciples, hopes for the re demption of Israel and for a new reign of righteousness for all the world. On Jesus these friends had builded everything: with him in the grave the house of their hopes had toppled about their bowed heads. Now at dawn Mary and the other women had come—the alertness of love is woman's—bearing spices for their dead: the cold body of their Lord was all that they expected, but God is always doing better than His children expect or think. Mary and the women entered upon a new es tate that day which has been be queathed to all womanhood since. As Mrs. Browning sang: "Not she with traitorous kiss her j Master stung; Not she denied Him with unfaithful i tongue; She., when Apostles fled, could dan-1 ger brave. Last at His cross, and earliest at 1 His grave." What Is in a Name Jesus is never beyond the reach of ( the tears of His friends; He would ; not even leave the comforting of | Mary to the angels by the empty tcmb, but He himself stood by though she knew not His nearness. , Christ often comes when eyes are; holden, and the comfort that He srives is not always recognized as from Him. Mary thought she was seeking help from the gardener, but : it was the Lord. Even when He ten- ' derly said. "Why weepest thou," she did not comprehend; He had to call her by name before she understood. I AH the sweet adjectives that love bestows upon a loved one are not so meaningful as the personal, familiar name, with the melting tenderness and deep significance that may be put into it. So when Jesus turned and said: "Mary." she knew Him in- 1 stantly: no one else could pronounce her name like that. The Good Shep-I herd calls His sheep by name, and each is. as Mary was, a beloved per- j sonality. In a transport of rapture she 1 would have flung herself at His feet j and clung to Him, but the Master re- I strained her; the risen Lord did not < keep the same intimacy of human relations as before: He had new pewers and new work. Mary, too. j had an immediate mission: she could! not sit and adore, for the brethren awaited the glorious news, "He is 1 risen!" The Messasre of Mary The first preacher of the full gos pel was a woman. To Mary it was given to utter the word that unfold- j ed the complete significance of the' acts and teachings of Jesus. What a revolution in feeling and outlook the news must have created in the minds of the disciple?: All was clear now: the sayings that they formerly had been unable to comprehend shone with divine meaning. Jesus had risen, even as He had said. He had done exceedingly abun4antlv above all that they could ask or think. Not defeat, but victory was their pro- j gram. Now the infant Church had a mes sage for the world, the very message of hope and life which is most need ed. The last great enemy who had j blanched the cheek of the bravest, j had been conquered. Men need no j longer be prisoners to dread and fear. A new attitude toward life and death had been created. Thencefor ward the disciples would go forth, as | thousands since have done, facing every martyrdom sor.gfully. The world's wonderment. "Behold, how these Christians die!" would be a j new gateway to the kingdom. The resurrection hope is the capstone of the edifice of Christian truth. "Be cause I live, ye shall live also:" this is the word which the Church is now to cry aloud above the din of thej world's battlefields as the comfort 1 for all the bereaved: and as the sure stay of all who face death. Our Own Day's Chief Question Every day's newspaper contains a special mention of those who have solved the problem of Immortality; and of those who are deeply, imme diately and supremely concerned in it. Tliey will be found In the death j notice column, and the first group are those who have died, and the second group are the families and near friends of the dead. No question is more ancient, more Insistent, or more profound and im- j pcrtant than this one, "If a man die, shall he live again?" To some de- j gree it is certain at some time or other to engage the thought of ev- I ery mature mind. With the daily dis- J patches from abroad fairly reeking with news of bloody deaths by the myriads, the problem is one that thrusts itself inexorably into the. consideration of even the frivolous, minded and the heedless. Every poet, every philosopher, has i speculated unon the theme. The hu- i man mind has always experienc ed I "Intimations of immortality." The conviction that this supreme flower and fruit of the universe, the human ; scul, was not born to fall and perish j utterly and that this earthly life is! by many signs, only the preparation for some higher form of existence, i lies deep down in the thinking of every normal person. Addison put the thought Into a few lines: "It must be so— Plato, thou reason est well! Else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire. This longing after immortality? Or whence this secret drea< and in ward horror Of falling into naught? Why shrinks the soul Back on herself, and startles at de struction? •Tls the divinity that stirs within ] us: 'Tls heaven itself that points out an | hereafter. And intimates eternity to man. Eternity; thou pleasing, dreadful thought!" Creed's Effect Upon Character The chrism of earth's friendships is the hope of the resurrection, which sacredly anoints them for two j worlds. All our highest conceptions; of love are bound up with the expec- , tatlon of a life beyond the grave. Grounded In the resurrection j teaching is the Christian's hope of j Christly character and of future glory. "If ye then be risen together j with Christ, seek those things which | are above." "Now is Christ risen : from the dead, and become the flrst- | FRIDAY EVENING, By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. fruits of them that slept." "If Christ hath not been raised, then is -our preaching vain; your faith also is vain." "If we have only hoped in Christ In this life, we are of all men most miserable." Every day. in every section of the world, there are rage arguments about religion. Men cannot be re strained from speculating about this supreme theme. No aspect of these discussions strikes an observer as more significant than the fact that' so often men debate as if there were | no authority above their own reason to which appeal might be made. They talk as though historical facts were to be decided by "hcrse sense;" and as if one man's opinion were as gcod as another. In other words, they leave the Bible entirely out of their discussion, and airily put forth their own immature opinions as if they were the last word on the sub ject. Every reader of these lines! has probably heard controversies on the resurrection, without a single ap. peal to the Bible as historical evi dence. The Real Evidence That makes only one of two courses possible. Either the Bible must be discarded utterly, or else It must be accepted as the only scien tific and valid evidence available up to the present upon the subject of the resurrection. To reject the teach of the resurrection is to reject the New Testament; for it is full of the fact and of the implications of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And apart from this Book we have abso lutely no other historical evidence of the raising of the dead to life. I take a concordance and follow j through the words "raised." "risen," j "resurrection," and find one hundred I and twenty-three separate references given to resurrection. When the sorrow of death enters a circle of love, it is not to the barren philosophy of the ancients that we turn for comfort, but to this Book of the immortal hope, whose words ! of sweet assurance are repeated | daily over thousands of biers, im- | parting the light of eternal sunrise to the dark day of grief. The Finn I Proof Assuming the historical validity of 1 the Bible, we find that the resurrec- j tion is established by many wit- j r.esses, and that it is as completely! buttressed a fact as any event in an cient history. There remains one final proof of | the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I which in the case of millions of per- j sons, makes all the other evidence | unnecessary. That is the fact of per- | sonal, present relationship with the, living Christ, to whom a long line of [ martyrs and saints bear testimony, saying with St. Paul. "I know whom ' Ihave believed." That relationship j is for multitudes more real than any transaction with merchant or friend.

Heb. 12:18-20. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS Every great soul is revtrwnt. Only the small anri the Ignorant are heed less of proper claims upon man's veneration. The braggart spirit, which professes to have respect for nothing and nobody, lacks the essen tional disposition of the true think er and broad minded seeker after truth. A keen and wide observer of men once said. "No" man who is without the spirit of reverence can be truly great. • • • We prove our own height by our attitude toward things sacred. • • • He who makes the sacred common j robs God of His due. • • • We hold so many meetings In church nowadays, and have so many religious organizations, that it is very easy for us to forget that God's house is not like other buildings. The sacredness of a church is a lesson j which we should often con. Loud speech and laughter, careless be havior of any kind, and public ex- i erclses of a secular sort, are out of place in a building dedicated to the worship of the Most High. The house 1 of God is holy. • • Reverence is God's right. God asks much but He gives more. ! • • * Reverence is a root virtue of the 1 great. * • • God lifts up all who bow down before Him. • • • We can only honor God in His j own way. He has appointed the manner in which He would have men show Him reverence, and if we fail to heed His word irk this respect no I sacrifice of our own devising will be I accepted by Him. The first divine j institution was the Sabbath. Through 1 i* God electel to have been render j Him obedience. He declared that He was to be honored by the sacred ob- j servance of this day. When we dis- 1 with "I know, for I have experienced ■ ice and snow." A Greek sophist might have caught Peter In the mar- i ket place at Antioch and argued the j impossibility of the resurrection; but Peter could erushrfiim with a simple. | "I saw Him dead: and then I saw Him alive." A personal experience of the risen Christ is the final argu- j ment for the resurrection; and thtt one most sufficient proof of immor- ■ tality. "BAB BOY" IS QUITE EXTINCT, SAYS TEACHER Chicago. June —WH&t has be come of the "bad ooy?" He is extinct, William J. Bogan, principal of Lane Technical High School, said in an address before the members of the Irish Fellowship Club in the Hotel LaSalle. "In the old school," he said. I "American boys threw teachers out 1 of the windows with great enthusi asm. New methods give attention to the individual needs of the pupil, j "The bad boy, under the influence . of modern educational methods, hasj gone the way of the dodo." HARRDSBURG TELEGRAPH honor the Sabbath we dishonor God. ■ An offense against it is an offense against Him. The glory of God is in i separably bound up with His holy S day. • * * I Merely to be glad and grateful Is i the best way to give God His due. j He cares more for the fragrance of 1 1 prniseful lives than for the odor of ; costliest sacrifice. Among the sacred things to be reverenced we may count the ideals and convictions of our hearts. Some -1 times beautiful aspiration* are scof j fed at by a rude world, yet in truth i they are more worthy of respect ; than the opinions of the world it self. To our own loftiest conceptions of life and duty we should pay ut most deference; they are divine promptings, and. followed, will lead us into a royal heritage. Countless 1 lives have come to disaster because j they failed properly to retard their I own best beliefs and revelations. Reverence for. the right promotes i righteousness. The pith of patriotism Is a true j veneration for the country's flag and I all that it represents. • • • Irreverence Is a twentieth century j sin which Is none the better for be i lng modern. It especially marks ! Americans. We are not as devout In j church as many other peoples. We I do not esteem positions, titles, hon ■ orable persons, as highly as do our 1 cousins across the water. Our jYankee independence keeps remind ' ing us that we are "as good as any ' body else." and thus, figurately speaking, instead of bowing the knee : to a person of distinction, we clap I him on the back. Our independence i would be faner and stronger if we ! were not inclined to be so bumptious. ; We would be improved by the culti j vation of the spirit of reverence. : There are people and places and j things to which even an American ' may profitably show veneration. RID CHILDREN OF FEAR! The July Woman's Home Companion 1 says: , j "No other one attribute contributes more to, peace of mind in this life than an absence of fear. To attempt to govern a child by frightening it is a crime, for in children the powers of imagination are exceedingly acute. | Children do not reason, they believe. A normal child has no more fear of the dark than of the daylight, but :f such a child is put to bed. alone, in a ; dark room, and told the 'goblins' will get him if he does not go right to I sleep' the dark for years afterward will mean a place of vast terror filled ' with horrible possibilities. Wakeful -1 ness, mental strain and nervousness are as sure to follow as day follows night. If fear does show in a child, jlt should never be ridiculed. Fear . may be destroyed if a little time is j taken to explain why there is no rea , son to be afraid." IF DISCOURAGED PLANT BEANS Crop Is Foolproof and Will Grow on Poor Soil Washington, June 14.—"When dis couraged plant beana." This is the cheering injunction which the United States Department of Agriculture is sending to the gardeners of the coun try who have had poor luck with otner crops. "There is no widely adapted graden crop that will do so well on poor soli and nothing that is so nearly fool proof as beans." says a statement of the department. "The limits of the planting season also are elastic. The gardner may give his backward on icns or beets another chance to maxe good and still have time to fill in their places with beans, if they fall. Beans of the garden and Held sorts may be planted in the latitude of Washington for a mature crop until the middle of July and string beans may be planted all through August. In the latitude of New York beans may be planted throughout June. "Black Valentine is a very hardy variety and Green Pod Strlngless is very prolific. Limas are more exact ing in their requirements than other beans." As a result of a recent survey or one hundred boys' and girls' club gar dens in a typical community, the Don't Let Soap Spoil Your Hair When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, ns it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most ex pensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will 'last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with wa ter and rub it in, about a teagpoon ful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and Is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han dle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and d&ndruff.
