"YOUNG MEN FOR WAR" The International Sunday School Lesson for August 12 Is "Josiah's Good Reign."—ll Chron. 34:1-13 By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Like all other wars the present Is being fought by young men. An old er authority than Dr. Osier says. "Young men for war;" and it was a ripe old man whose .Inspired pen wrote to young men "because you Jire strong." With age comes cau tion and conservatism; there is some thing victorious in the very nature of youth's impetuous, heedless an dauntless courage. Heady ant n considerate the young and bound to get many a bump irom tho stones of experience, but after all he brings things tc P"- l f " r one virtue of the enthusiast. ior which we forgive him many fruits, is that he really achieves Anything is perferabe tothe dea lv somnolence of the Bta "^? at p t ® 11 , who sits down amid greatest and helplessly inquireis. _ what can you do about it? and then endeavors to get all the P 1 " P " ihle out of the situation for him self. The call to the deepest and noblest in human nature whichha been heard during recent months by milions is hailed by many as a deliv - erance from this soul-deadening self interest. Better for a glorious f, "*? j at the great adventure of life than . a dull and dreary prolongation oi | mere existence as a cautious, thritty, prudential time server. • There is considerable analogy oe | tween the situation in the J world of our time and the conditions which voug King Josiah successfully con fronted In both cases tremendous and long entrenched evils seemed defy opposition, but the h'bh-souled heralds of truth persisted in aseen inglv quixotic course, and to-day tne | high places are being hewn down and i false idols and standards ; are top pling, even as in Josiah s time.■ _ is the iconoclastic wax. It • '■• 4 . i ing idols that have been worshipped for ages. Were it not for the general conviction that a new and bettei ol der of existence is being "shei ed in, few of us would have heart foi S 'Tho Son of His Remote Ancestor Shining deeds on the part of the boy King were a reversion to an older tvpe. His own fathei had, been bad; his grandfather Manas seh, save for a brief Period of re pentance at the end of his life,, had been worse. Yet Josiah, walked i _ the ways of David his father. "There is so much good in the worst, of us" that we every one of vis have light and power and inherited tend encies enough to be vastly better j than we are. Baby John's profile sets aunts and uncles to exclaiming over his startling resemblance to Grand father Baker. But there is a trick of raising his right eyebrow which came to him straight from Grand father Sharp. He shares with Uncle Prank a pecular way of absently holding on to his left ear. He had my father's forehead," exclaim ed Grandmother Sharp. Baby s fath eees that he has a ravishing wa> of making' love with his eyes such as no other moral except his mother ever possessed and so it P° es - j Every one of us Is a compound of! all who have gone before. Until personality and God enter: In; then the leading strings of j [ heredity become weak and ineffec tive, along side of the strong rope! '• of will. No Josiah is bound to i go his father's way; he may skip a j dozen generations until he finds a ■ David in whose footsteps he may I walk. The old Adam is strong in his sons, but the new Adam is strong- j er. All of God's plans make por vislon for a person following his j nobbliest impulse and nature. We I are truest to ourselves when we are truest to God. Josiah best repre- ; sented the royal line when he was; most like David. The Preacher's Part The wonder is that this youthful king should so early revolt, against the idolatry anfl -wickedness to which he had fallen heir as Judah's King; but the wonder abates when we re call that a man is made by his friends. Kingsley's wise explanation of all that he had done or become was sufficient: "I had a friend." Josiah was surrounded by many forms of evil and evil counselors; but there were also in the land a noble company of prophets of the living God to whom his heart warm ed—Jeremiah, Zephauiah, Habak kuk, and Xahum. besides, doubtless, many others of their ilk. It is to be doubted whether any great reform was ever accomplished without the stirring tones of a prophet to recall men to their duty and to point out to them the straight, steep path of noble endeavor. The social awakening, which his torians will write down as a char acteristic of our time, is primarily owing to the insistence with which high-visioned spirits have cried aloud against the evils of our social .eco nomic and political system. Some of these prophets of the new day won only a cross; but what matter so long as humanity wears the crown. A similar company of brave, pat "l Never Felt Better" Says Bensinger Appetite Has Come Back and He Sleeps Xiike it Log, Thanks to Tanlac WAS ALL RUN DOWN HE AVERS "I was all run down and suffered a lot from my stomach," says C. H. Bensinger, R. F. D. No. 2, Reading, Pa. "My whole system seemed to be out of condition and I was in misery all the time. "I had no appetite and what little food 1 did force myself to eat didn't digest but would ferment in my stomach causing me to become fill ed and bloated with gas. "I couldn't sleep but would toss restlessly all night long and I al ways felt so tired that it was all I could do to drag myself through the long weary days. "Well I got to looking around for something to help me and I read and heard so much about Tanlac that 1 went and got a bottle to try. Sure enough it helped me right •way. That tired feeling left me. I took to sleep better and my stom ach trouble was quickly righted. "Now I never felt better in my life and all thanks to Tanlac." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being introduced here at Qorgas' Drug Store where the Tanlac man is meeting the people and explaining the merits of this master medicine. Tanlac is also sold at the Gorgas Drug Store in the P. R. R Station; In Carlisle at W. G. Stephens' Phar macy; Elizabethtown, Albert W. Cain; Greencastle, Charles B. Carl, Mlddletown. Colin S.

FRIDAY EVENING, triotic, God-fearing young men In old Judah were mainsprings in the radical reforms wrought by the yonug King, whose friends they were and whose hands they upheld. The Young Kings "Big Stick' The bulk of mankind choose the easy way of approvers; they tread the beaten path: they "go along" with the organization. Unpopularity is the most hideous dragon their im agination can conjure up; they would rather be "regular" than right. True, after men of another sort have made their regularity ir regularity, they promptly swing over to the' other side, but in the meantime they are the most serious obstacle in the way of the menders of society. The conformers are the heaviest burden the unconformers have to move. They lift up their eyes in horrified selfrighteousness at tho very mention of critics; forget ting that it is by these critics of things as they are that the world be comes what it should be. The rash and destructive impetu ousness of young King Josiah, whom they called a wild visionary, sorely disturbed the complacent spirits of many of the convention-loving dwell ers in old Judah. For he carried a "big stick" and swung it right and left. Having seen his duty, ae had the courage to do It—which is a suf ficient description of a hero. The young man—would any old man have dared attempt it? —undertook the gigantic task of purging Judah and Jerusalem from the high place, the Asherim, the graven images and the molten images. His was the cour age that did not balk at a big task; though he had never heard that the best secret of success for a young man is to link his life to some great and unpopular cause. An out and out iconoclast was Josiah. He smashed things. Altars and idols and temples went crum bling beneath his blows. You can not purify a foul pond with violet water; or cure cancer by soothing lotions. So Josiah scattered the ashes of the idols upon the graves of their worshipers, and he burnt the bones of the false priests upon their heathen altars. Hard? Yes, but it purged the land. There is no use ot trying to hang pictures over polu tion, Chinese fashion, instead of cleaning it up. Purity must precede power. Perhaps the brooms and scrubbing brushes and scrapers that are at work upon Church and State just now are making way for the long deferred"great revival." A minister was telling me about a revival in his church, and I asked him how many accessions he had. "Xot one, but we got rid of twenty, and it was a great revival." A Real Reformer The test of the critic's usefulness is "Does he construct?" "Is he busy about good work?" There are a I score of good workers to stand idly by and find fault with every new piece of work that is done in the neighborhood; never mind them, j When the criticism comes from a I real workman it is to be heeded.

Here is shown a French lieutenant making certain that the braces of a parachute are strong enough and in perfect order before the ascent is test ed. This spirit of thoroughness has been responsible for saving the lives of many of the aerial observers. The builders-up alone have a right to tear down. Josiah alone was a real reformer. He destroyed the bad only that he might do good. The problem of the cities visited by Billy Sunday is the problem of finding means of Christian nurture and prof itable recreation for the converts of the great revival. The devil loves a vacuhm. , , , So Josiah the iconoclast, became Josiah the builder. He set about re construction the neglected dilapidat ed temple of Jehovah. With system and throughness. and to the sound of music .the holy edifice was re stored. to be the center of the peo ple's religious interest and affection. He supplanted the old which he had overthrown with that which wes bet ter The people were saved from wicked lives, and from what was almost as bad empty lives The young man who had greatly dared the seemingly impossible had ac complished It. 1 HABRISBURG TELEGRAPH Mrs. Ed Shaffer Entertains Marysville Dorcas Society | Ed.

WOE'S WORST WEAPOR -THE TORQUE Terse Comments On Tlie Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic Of The Young People's Societies—Christian Endeavor, Etc.—For August 12: "The Sin Of Gossip And Scandal."— Ps. 120-1-7; Ex. 20-16 By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Fruit comes from the root. It is only by looking to the springs of our life that we can secure for ourselves gracious and proper habits. We can not fasten good habits to our lives as the Jews fastened their religion to their foreheads in the form of phylacteries. If the impelling spir it within u.s is right, if our hearts are pure and noble, then there is small danger of our speech being un desirable. Good habits are as easily formed as bad. It requires no more effort of will to grow into the custom of doing noble things than it does to become the slave of disagreeable habits. We are slow to recognize the truth though it is the t.uth, nevertheless—that the habit of benevolence, for instance, is as easily formed as the gossip habit. "Manners are the minor morals" writes one. The agreeable good per son is no more good than the boor, besides being twice as influential for righteousness. Brute speech, morose Clip This Coupon NOW!

(fa ness and an abrupt manner are by no means necessary accompaniments of godliness; in truth, they reveal a lack of highest religion. The soul should be master of the tongue. , Every trait that was found In Christ is worth cultivating in our selves. He is twice strong who is gentle in his Judgment. There is more hope of a prodigal than of an envious and suspicious man. Gossip puts bitter drops into all of life's sweet draughts. The very fact that scandal is a common sii) makes it a great one. It stands in the way of christian growths. It mars the symmetry and beauty of character. It hinders that love between brethren which is the fulfilling of the law of Christ and the prerequisite of the coming of his kingdom. Let us not call any sin AUGUST 10, 1917 i small which bars the progress o' ' Jesus; and this scandal surely doer Scandal is all evil; not a Jot of good comes from It. Many proverbs remind us that the spoken word and the sped arrow can never be recalled. The Irrevocable ness of speech is its most dread qual ity. Gunshot wounds may heal, sword thrusts may leave no scar, poison may be eliminated from the body, but a deadlier weapon than any of these, the human tongue, in flicts wounds that are permanent. Less brains are required to say brilliant, bitter words about people than to say brilliant, kind \yords. The cynic's wit is easiest and cheap est.
