A GOOD FATHER'S BAD SON
The International Sunday School Lesson For August
5 Is "Manasseh's Sin And Repentence."
II Chron. 33:1-20.
The great plains of western Amer
ica do not typify life. The latter ia
not a dead level. It has Its ups and
downs. History Is a succession of
mountain ranges, valleys and short
stretches of plain. Progress Is not
a steady rise upward. It Is inter
rupted by many declines and depres
sions. Reform is voted in today and
voted out tomorrow.
Kezeklah reigned righteously, and
It seemed as if wickedness was at an
end; but his young son, Manasseh,
succeeded him and all the old evils
came trooping back into power
again, reinforced, it seemed, at the
moment, tenfold. The lesson of this
experience of old Judah is one with
the lesson for today; for good people
evervwhere need to learn, perhaps
first of all, not to grow discouraged.
Most of the triumphs of evil are due
to the weariness of the good.
Through the Jaundiced eye of the
discouraged reformer it may seem
that "Truth is forever on the scaf
fold. Wrong forever on the throne."
With better vision, however, he wouli
learn that,
"Behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow.
Keeping watch above his own."
A Boy In Pert!
Why should strong fathers so of
ten have weakling sons? Primarily. ;
perhaps, because a hot house Is a poor j
place to grow boys. Fathers who have
achieved often make it too easy for '
their sons. The latter are kept out of
school in which the parents learned j
their most important lessons. It is the j
rare father who fully realizes, "It
good for a man to wear the yoke in
his youth." Vet that boy who is not
brought to school to discipline, who
has not learned the significance of
"must," and to whom duty is an un
known fact, is a boy in serious peril
The worst fact about the good King
Hezekiali was his son Manasseh. For
one thing the lad came to power too
early, though there is a sense in which
children are always on the thrones o*
the world. Every true man is more
concerned for the health and happiness
of his child than for the prosperity of
his business, or for any honor that
may come to him personally. This
headstrong youngster who fell heir to J
Hezekiah's throne ruled consciously, |
which is always a bad thing for a
child. Under evil court influence he be
came a reactions and there is no
reactionary like a young one. The
worst old fogies are the young men.
The conservation of the youthful is the
most hindersome to progress. This
' hpy's state of mind boded worse for the
kingdom than .the wickedness of half
a dozen aged lilngs.
Cutting Loose From the Past
Many there be, like Abraham, who
set out from Vr of the Chaldees, but
few there be like him, who keep on.
The price of progress and liberty is
too high for most to pay. Judah had
set out the right way. It would ap
pear as if she had learned her les
xon well enough to continue therein:
but, alas! most of her virtue seems |
to have been in the possession of the
good king, and now he was In the
•epulcher of his fathers. So at the
touch of a boy's hand the wheels of
progress were stopped. The nation,
almost in a day. went back to the old
- forsaken idols, ust as a certain mis
sionary to Africa has abandoned
Christianity and civilization and be
come chief of a cannibal tribe. To
this decline of Judah the famous epi
gram could be applied. "It *' as
worse than a crime; it was a blun
der " Even if the nation had not
approved of Hezekiah's new way it
might at least have gone forward
somehow, In its own paths, without
reverting to the ways that had been
so manifestly proved to be evil,
when a nation or an individual gets
to sliding, there is no telling where
It will stop. Usually it winds up on
the level of the lowest, as Judah did.
M annasseh truckled to the basest
sense of his time. He erected altars
and idols, and created the worsh.p or
many gods. He went to the very
limit of heathenism. Perhaps he
did not intentionally go there, but
he drifted and the drifter is likely
to land eventually at the very end of
the stream. It takes resolution and
moral courage and constant intellec
tual activity to maintain a spiritual
religion. When many of a people
stop hinking, and cease to be act
ively aggressive concerning religious
ideals then the loss of real religion
is an almost inevitable consequence.
Bml Sign* and Good Time*
This is an ugly, discouraging story,
one calculated to shake a man's
faith in humanity. It makes one al
most wonder why the Lord does not
let us go to the dogs. It is easy to
understand the story of the flood,
and of Sodom and Gomorrah, after
one has contemplated unreined hu
manity. Even in this enlightened
year of our Lord, nineteen hundred
and seventeen, it is still an uphill
fight to maintain the lofty standards
of a pure religion, even as it was a
way back in the sixth century. B. C.
One has but to scan the advertise
ments found In many of the reput
able newspapers, of fortune tellers
and clairvoyants and palm readers
and spiritual mediums and what not,
to have the question raised in his
own mind, as to whether there Is not
as much superstition and idolatry in
our own land and time as there was
In old Judah. when Manasseh sat on
David's throne. Mature. and pre
sumably Intelligent persons are still
looking for their destiny in the stars,
or a greasy pack of cards or an old

tea cup Instead of In the will of the
Infinite. When we consider the
number of persons who will not sit
at table in a company of thirteen,
and who have a cold chill over the
breaking of a mirror, or the spilling
of some salt, we wonder if we are
not separated from Manasseh and his
idolatry by something less than
twenty-six centuries. One who
searched deep in the lives of every
day people will find that there are
idolatries and superstitions very near
at home.
The Most Sntanlc Sin
The person who is in the business
of tempting others to sin is in the
business of the devil. Of all the sins
In the black calendar the most satanic
is that of leadng others astray.
The worst indictment of Manasseh
is not that of folly or pride, or wick
edness; It is the same as that of Ills
ancester, Jeroboam, "He made Judah,
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to
err." That Is a charge before which
the most hardened offender should
shrink. It is the sweeping indict
ment not only of Manasseh, but of
all who befoul youthful imaginations
by unclean speech; all who put to
innocent lips the cup of strong
drink; all who in any way guide the
steps of beginners into the way of the
transgressor. Better a thousand fold
for such an one to have a millstone
tied around his neck, and bo cast into
the depths of the sea.
A good man gone bad Is the worst
man; Manasseh made the Jews
worse than the heathen whom the
Lord had destroyed for their bad
ness. Perhaps this is the law of ex
tremes or by whatever name It is
called, its outworking has been wit
nessed by everybody. The occasion
al drinker when intoxicated is far
worse than the regular toper: for
scurrilousness, the renegade member
of the Sunday School may be worse
than the graduate of the slums.
They who fall from high places, fall
farthest. Every good person needs to
tremble lest he should be tempted
and fall, knowing that if he does fall
he will fall far.
How Gods Gets Even
Of all the follies of foolish man
the worst is to believe that he can
outwit God. That is one thing which
Jehovah can never permit, for it
would overthrow His throne of God
hood. If God is God he must reign.
He cannot be defied, or denied, or
defeated. His laws must prevail. His
Will must be done. That Is why he is
strongest who plants his life "on the
eternal principles, which have their
springs in the nature of the Infinite.
Justice is sure, because God reigns.
M annasseh who was brought to
terms when he would give no heed to
warning—ah. the pitiful folly of the
wrong doers who are blind to their
own end!—for God cleaned up Judah
with the broom of Assyria. Many a
patient saint in Jerusalem cried aloud
In agony, "How long. Oh Lord, how
long!" before the wrongs of his time
were righted. Just as many men have
worn out their hearts in bitterness,
while the financial and political evils
of our own time now crashing to

day meet the Inevitable hour of

A Lesson Hardly Learned
Afflictions had to Be visited upon |
Manasseh before he would turn to ]
the Lord. Most men will not look
up until God has thrown them pros-j
trate. on their backs. says the j
"Ram's Horn"; yet God may be j
counted upon to persist until He has,
taught us that He is God. The secret j
of many hard experiences in life is '
this; the Lord is trying to make us
understand His Godship.
As the needle turns to the pole,
so in affliction the heart of ma® turns
to his Creator. When disease or dis
aster clutches these mysterious bod
ies of ours, we instinctively cry
aloud to their Maker as their only
Mender. In extremity the soul al
ways looks up.
And God hears. That Is the won
derful thing about God. "He is kind
to the unthankful and to the evil."
Even Manasseh, the unspeakable, the
seducer of a nation, was heard and
forgiven. He did not get his deserts,
for none of us dare ask for Justice;
he got the infinite mercy that resides
only with the Omnipotent. Nobody
but God would have heard and for
given him. It was characteristic of
the God of his fathers. The one who i
made covenant with Abraham. "He !
heard Manasseh's supplication, and
brought him again to Jerusalem, in
to his kingdom." So the story sig
nificantly closes. "Then Manasseh
knew that Jehovah, He was God."
WINNING THE WAR IN AIH |
American aeroplanes enter the
world conflict at the crucial moment;
the deadlock that has for so long held
the world must be broken by attack
from the skies. That is the opinion
of Augustus W. Post, former Secre
tary of the Aero Club of America,
writing in the "Navy and Merchant
Marine." The heart of the Central
Powers is Essen enveloped in an ob
scuring canopy of smoke clouds
where the vast Krupp Works send
through the veins of Germany the life
blood of munitions. One aeroplane
could not destroy Essen, nor a few
aeroplanes, but a fleet of them, a fleet
in numbers commensurate with the
vastness of this war, could beyond
the shadow of doubt Wow the Essen
works Into ruin, and accomplish more
than any other military operation.
Such is the opinion of the most cool
headed and practical experts, not
mere dreamers. It is the opinion of
the business-like Orville Wright an
opinion shared by all who know the
situation of Germany in aeronautics.
The Central Powers no longer hold
supremacy of the air as for a time
they did. At present the best they
can do in output and equipment Is
barely to hold their own and in the
even more important matter of pro
viding aviators the long drain upon
the young manhood of Germany—
where the mortality has been greatest
in the very classes from which avia- j
tors must be recruited—has left her j
at a disadvantage.
The balance of power lies with
America—with the machines we can
furnish and the brilliant fliers we are
turning out every hour. At the cruc
ial moment of the world's history, vic
tory hovers in the air, awaiting the
direction of American energy and the
command of American genius. And
when the victory has been won, and
America having vindicated her claim
to stand among the champions of
democracy, goes back to her well won
ipeace, a new element will have come
into American life through the part
the nation will take in the campaigns
of the air.

UNFRIENDLY TO ONE'S SELF I
Terse Comments On The Uniform Prayer Meeting
Topic Of The Young People's Societies—Christian
Endeavor, Etc.—For August 5: "How Men Cheat
Themselves."—Prov. 14:21; Ps. 1:1-6
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
The rule of the world is to "look
out for number one." Nothing could
be more antagonistic than this to the
teachings of Christ. His greatest
doctrine, the underlying principle of
all His words and deeds, was that of
self-sacrifice, looking out for number
two. Therefore He has given us the
plain message that to save our lives
we must sacrifice them.
There is no help for It; the law
is eternal and ever-operative: If a
man loves his life he shall lose It.
Selfishness is death. The converse of
the proverb that "The liberal soul
shall be made fat is equally true;
The selfish soul shall be made thin.
When unselfishness ends, death be
gins. The self-centered person has
within him the germ of decay.
Call the roil of the mighty men of
God. Look closely into the life of
each hero as he responds. Without
exception you . will find that these
great ones like the elders about the
tnrone, are those who have come
through much tribulation. Are wo
willing to follow in their train?
Sin never satisfies. All of its Treas
urers are "for a season." Then
comes remorse, to eat out the heart
and to majte the soul hate itself.
There Is no contentment In sin.
Those who live in wickedenss must
go from sin unto sin, seeking a de
light that is never found until life's
direction is changed and the foot of
the blood stained cross Is reached.
Life's sweets are tasted not by
him who gets, but by him who give:'.
"Even Christ pleased not himself,"
and yet the fullest, truest and best
life ever lived on earth was the li'e
.if Christ. And if we would know
the secret, humanly speaking, of the
power and permanence of that peer
less career, we must read under ev
ery act of the Saviour, from Naza
reth to Calvary, the words "Self
surrender." We cannot possibly like
Christ until we are willing to Ihe
uttermost degree to give up our own
lives and wills.
To make self-indulgence life's aim
is to reach the brute level.
Temporal prosperity Is the goal of
the world. To be rich and comfort
able and of good repute; to have a
good time and an easy time—these
are the ambitions of the day. Men
are satisfied if they can "get along
in the world." The obection to this
view is that it deals only with tem
poral prosperity. It Is short-sighted
and insufficient. Spiritual growth is
infinitely more important than
worldly success. To grow in the graces
of the inner man. and in the grace of
Christ, is better than to increase In
wealth or fame, because spiritual
progress Is forever, and these other
tilings are perishing. They best live
who live for the life unending.
The prodigal "Went the pace" and
lost the race. "Fast" living never
arrives at life's goals. Destruction
inevitably overtakes the "fast'
young man.
The old proverb says: "There is
a way which seemeth right unto a
man." Yes, it seems right. Idle
ness, good fellowship, plenty of
money, and high living are very al
luring to short-sighted and undisci
plined youth. Satan well knows how
to make his paths seem right at the
.TP appearing. He cutely contrasts
this lively life with the "slow" mat
ter-of-fact existence at home. Ah!
w ® lt! The Proverb continues.
t .! e ., end thereof are the wavs
of death • That is it; fair at first,
t Jul . Ask the prodigal what
th'nks about the way that seem
eth right. He will point you to his
starvation, shame and sorrow, and
they will be answer enough.
Life is full of paradoxes. The
seem ng success of bad men and the
seeming failure of good men, meet
us every day. How shall we lecon
clle these facts? Does God go back
on His own? The answer, simple
enough, though hard to realize. is
that God s thoughts are bigger than
our understanding. His plans ar.-
more far reaching than our hopes
He sometimes withholds the lesser
present reward that He may bestow
upon us later the more abundant
honor and blessing. This Is al wavi
If _. bn . remembered in considering
God s dealings with men. His stand
point is the standpoint of eternity.

BUY FLOUR IN
SMALL QUANTITY
Housewives Warned That At
tempt to Hoard and Store
Often Is False Economy
■Washington, D. C.. Aug. 3.—-Buy
flour In Bmall quantities and protect
it carefully from spoilage, is the key
note of a suggestion from the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Sound flour milled from standard
wheat exhibits very little tendency
to decompose when stored In a proper
manner. Nevertheless, there is con
siderable loss of flour through spoil
age as a result of improper storage,
particularly during the summer
months. Plour dealers naturally have
to carry in storage an amount of flour
proportionate to the current needs of
their trade. Housekeepers on the
farm and in the city should purchase
flour in accordance with their needs
only. It is false economy for the
housekeeper to purchase larger
amounts of flour than can be used
within a reasonable length of time.
This may be a barrel for a large fam
ily; more often it will bo the 50-
pound sack. Ajiy storage of flour in
excess of the consumer's needs con
stitutes hoarding which, under pres
ent circumstances, is an unethical and
reprehensible practice, of no profit to
the Individual who practices It, but
injurious to the best interests of the
people.
Since it Is the duty of everyone in !
the present situation particularly to
avoid all waste, it is Incumbent upon
each one so to store the normail stock
of flour as to eliminate all waste
whatsoever. The precautions that are
required have been well worked out
in practice and are stated as follows
by specialists In the Department of
Agriculture.
There are three cardinal principles
which touch only the surface. To be.
rid of Catarrh you must drive the
disease germs out of your blood.
Splendid results have been report
ed from the use of S. S. S„ which
completely routs from your blood the
Catarrh germs, for which it is a per
fect antidote.
S. S. S. is sold by all druggists. If
you wish medical advice as to the
treatment of your own individual
case, write to-day to Chief Medical

of flour storage. Flour should not be
stored In tho cellar, sines the cellar
is rarely free from dampness, even
though special flour bins have been
built In. It Is common to And odors
In a cellar and flour absorbs odors
and Is contaminated by them. The
cellar Is cool, but is usually too damp.
Flour should not be stored In the
attic of tli© usual type. The tem
perature Is too high In summer, there
Is no circulation ot air, and the flour
is likely to t-.oqulio a musty odor.
Flour should not be stored In the
pantry or kitchen except In small
quantities since the temperature Is
certain to be uneven and the flour
is likely to be contaminated by odors.
If practicable every household
should possess a small room for stor
age of non-odorous commodities.
Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York City Physician and Medical Author says:
"There can be 110 strong, vigorous, iron men nor beautiful, licalthy, rosy
cheeked women without Iron—Nuxatcd Iron taken three times per day
after meals will increase the strength and endurance of weak, nervous, run
down folks 100 per cent, in two weeks' time in many Instances. Avoid the
old forms of metallic iron which may injure the teeth, corrode the stom
ach, anil thereby do more harm than pood. Take only organic iron —
Nuxatcd Iron." It is dispensed in this city by Croll Keller, G. A. Gorgas,
J. Nelson Clark, and all good druggists.

Such a room Is locatsd on the
north sld of the building. It should
be ventilated and a cool end even
temperature should be maintained.
Where such a room Is not available
a closet may fit the requirements well.
The bins or containers should be kept
clean, and when an old stock of flour
Is exhausted, the container should be
carefully cleaned before a new stock
Is placed.
Naturally the flour must be guarded
from vermin. Flour should be ex
amined occasionally to see that de
composition has not begun. Con
served in this manner, the sack of
flour in the household and the larger
stores of the retailer can be utilized
practically to the exclusion of any
waste through spoilage.
