The International Sunday School Lesson for March
31 Is "Jesus Our Example in Serv
ice"—Phil. 2:1-11
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
What a thrill went through the.
world when the allies captured Jeru
salem! In that dramatic event was)
gathered up the spiritual signifl- j
cance of the war. It meant that the j
heritage of Christianity is to be de-!
livered from the hands of the ene
mies of Christ and of righteousness.
The Jesus of justice as of gentleness,
of brotherhood as of belief, is com
ing into His own. The city that He
loved is to be a haven of safety, a
center of ministry, a shrine of pil-
grimage.
When General Allenby's terse
telegram announcing the capture of
the city was flashed around the
world it stirred unsuspected emo-

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly com

color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
to make it at home, which Is mussy

Sage and Sulphur Compound," you
Y/ill get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a spongo or
soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com

prevention of disease.
FRIDAY EVENING,
tions in the hearts of civilization.
For Palestine is central to our world,
as Christ is central to our thinking.
Some of us have affected a worldly
manner, as if we were indifferent to
the teachings of religion. An event
like the capture of Jerusalem makes
us realize how tremendous is the
hold of the gospel upon our sub-con
sciousness. Jew, Christian and Mos
lem all have a historic stake in the
Promised Land, but of these three
the greatest is the Christian. Every
devout follower of Jesus is con
cerned for the future of the land su
premely hallowed by his blessed feet.
Now that Palestine has become an
active center of war interest, it will
be studied over by the whole world.
quarterly review of the activi-/
tiffW>f our Lord furnishes a conven
ient occasion, since all the teachings
and deeds of Jesus were localized.
This is a time to study the old map
of Bible lands, and to mark on them
the new railways that have been
built, and the course of the present
military campaign. It may be not
inappropriate to mention that the
present indications are that the next
stand of the Turks will be made at
Nazareth, the boyhood homo of Je
sus; for it is there that the hill coun
try gives way to the historic plan of
Esdraelon.
. . Great Issues in the Lord's I .ami
As this lesson goes to press there
is a large joint unit of British and
American Red Cross workers mostly
missionaries, on the way to Pales
tine, to take up relief work for the
civilian population in Jerusalem and
elsewhere. Destitution and distress
are very great. Since Jesus no longer
goes about in person, healing and
feeding and teaching, His work is
being done by these friends of His.
How his tender heart must yearn
overVthe lot of the people in Bible
lands to-day who bear His name —
the Armenians, the Syrians, the
Greeks, and the other Christians.
Since the war began there have been
uncounted martyrdoms on this hal
lowed soil. The transition from the
quarter's Sunday school lessons to
the present .light of the people.
Christians, Jews and Moslems, is
easy and proper. It would be entire
ly out of accord with the spirit of
the great Teacher himself to dwell
upon the Scriptures of nineteen cen
turies ago and ignore the conditions
of to-day.
Aside from the definite and de
tailed sufferings of the people of
Palestine to-day we perceive that the
land of the Lord is the scene for the
decision of great issues of the war.
Prussianism wants to lay its iron
hand on all the territory compre
hended within the scope of the Bible
narrative, from the Garden of Eden,
down Bagdad way, to the scenes of
the Apostle Paul's labors at Salon
iea. They would make this all
tributary to the materialistic and
anti-Christian conceptions of Nietz
schism and German rationalism with
their ruthless seltishness. Blocking
them are the clear words of Presi
dent Wilson, the voice of the allies,
declaring that all these long-suffer
ing little peoples are to have self
government. Xo longer may they be
exploited by either Turk or Prus
sian.
This issue has become central to
the settlement of the war. It is |
enough here to say that whoever I
would accept any terms of peace that
do not once for all settle the ages- !
old question of the Bible Lands, by |
delivering the small Christian na- l
tions from the power of the Turk, i
has a very different idea of peace
from that taught by Jesus.
The New Fulfilling tlie Old
These are days for the open
minded and the alert eye. God has
smashed all our old schedules and
conventions, lie is bringing great
things to pass so quickly as to daze
the beholders. The ancient goals of
the Kingdoms of Heaven are being
fulfilled in ways undreamed of five
years ago. The teachings of Jesus
are having sudden and strange frui
tions.
How else can we interpret in
Christian fashion, the new passion
for human rights and freedom and
brotherhood that is dominating the
world ? Christ's conception of man's
loving relations to man is sweeping
all of society. Whether we say
democracy or the Kingdom of Heav
en nowadays we are likely to mean
the same thing. The audacity of
Jesus, in seeing and declaring a
transformed social order, is being
dramatically indicated. There is not
a wide-awake and thoughtful man
alive to-day who does not believe that
the world is rapidly entering upon a
new area of social and international
relationship that will spell peace and
good will. God forbid that heedless
Christians should permit any god
less substitute to take the place of
the great reality indicated by Jesus.
How Jesus Would Now >\'ork
Of old, Jesus sent forth his disci
j pies after the fashion of his land
and time. He hurriedly worked in
| accordance with the costume of
Palestine in the year 30 A. D. He
I pictured in parables the coming of
| the new order which He alone en
visaged. All that He said and did
| looked forward to a large service and
large results.
To-day Jesus is sending out His
disciples in Y. M. C. A. and Red
Cross and chaplain's uniforms. They
are facing elemental human nature
I und needs. Much that is customary
l and conventional in church life is
i sloughed off in their activities. And
L surely Jesus approves.. He would
not have His servants, in a crisis
like the present, busy themselves
about denominational names or
usages or prestige. Can any sound
thinking person conceive of a Pres
byterian detachment and a Method
ist detachment and a Baptist de
tachment and an Episcopal detach
ment and a Lutheran detachment,
each zealous to care for its own de
nominational Interests, going out to
the Holy Land with the present re
lief expedition? There are many
welcome signs that professional ec
clesiasticism, and narrow sectarian
ism, are, to be among the major
casualties of this war. But the
Christianity of Jesus Is emerging In
new power and honor.
So the present review should also
be a review. Starting with the spirit
and teaching and example of Jesus
in the lessons of His early ministry
we have been studying for three
months, and having in mind the new
geographical significance of His
country, we should look ahead Into
the new day that awaits us; to con
sider how the disciples of the Master
may apply now what He taught then.
Of all the pressing needs of this
urgent day, is there any greater than
the need for the solution of our un
expected world problems in the spirit
of Him who came "not to be minis
tered tinto, but to minister;" and
who loved peace and righteousness
so ardently that He strove and died
for their attainment?

District Attend Meeting
Every poultrymah in Penbrook!
and the neighborhood turned out!
last evening at the mass meeting pre
sided over by F. W. Delancey, chair
man of the War Poultry Commis
| slon and ably seconded by E. B.
j Mitchell, War Poultry Commission
ler of Pennsylvania. These two ag-
I gressive men have been in ireatl
! measure responsible for the enthu
| siasm with which poultry raisingi
i has been taken up to the purpose
of keeping the American soldiersL
supplied with meat. Both leaders]
last! night emphasized that there,
is no hardship in substituting)
I chicken, fried, stewed, roasted or
| even raw, for meat. And the Armyj
I must not be denied its meat rations, j
| The obvious thing therefore is for!
i the stay-at-homes to eat plenty of
j eggs and an occosional fowl.
The call for meat has been sol
j considerable, said Mr. Mitchell, that!
there are 15,000,000 less meat ani
mals than one year ago. At the same
time eggs are not plentiful so it be
hooves every poultry raiser to double
his product. The people of Pen
brook were greatly impressed with
the facts brought out and the meet
ing is sure to result in increased
output of the hen and hen food in
this vicinity.
REBUKE TO SECT THAT WONT j

residents of a particular community
declined to buy war savings stamps
on fhe grounds of belonging to a re

I war, the following letter has been
sent out by the post office inspection
service:
"Every one has been protected
Lin his person and property by this
[government, and its constitution and
i laws, and I submit that each owes
|to the government that thus pro-'
| tects him his undivided, unwavering
| support in its titanic unprecedented
l struggle in the cause of liberty.

I posed to war as are the members of
j your church are cheerfully and
prayerfully contributing of their
i cash to fill the coffers of o'.r gov

Boy Beau Brummell
Routed by Laughter
liOndon,— I The Beau Brummell of
boy profiteers has astonished pas
sengers on the Hampstead "tube."
The courageous boy entered the
train at Goodge street and walked
slowly down the compartment so
that no one should miss seeing him.
Ho then took his seat with infinite I
langor. Obierving that many of
the irreverent were smiling, the boy
profiteer produced a monocle on a
thick black silk cord and screwed!
his face into a freezing frown. Thej
smiles broke into laughter and the I
courageous boy lost all confidence!
and lied. He was about 18.
PATRIOTISM STIRS
WORSHIPERS IN CHURCH
In tense, moments something!
usually happens to startle. It was so
at the community praise service in
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church yes
terday afternoon. The addresses
were clean-cut expositions of duty
to country and the best means of i
showing patriotism. While the Rev. I
W. A. H. Hanson was speaking he|
mentioned the lines of a letter re
ceived from a Harristyurg boy in'
France. "Don't worry about me,"
the letter read. "When the great
drive comes I hope I shall be out in
the front trenches. If I must give
up my life for my country and for
the principles involved in the war
I will do so gladly." The uingle
piercing sob of a woman in the front
pew broke the stillness and for a
few moments the silence was almost
tragic and ended only when the
speaker passed! on to a different
I fthase of patriotism.
Quick, Safe Way
to Remove Hairs
(Toilet Talks)
Keep a little delatone powder on
your dressing table and when ugly,
i hairy growths appear, make a paste
with a little of the powder and some
water, apply and let remain on the
hairy surface for 2 or 3 minutes,
i then rub oft. wash the skin and the
hairs have vanished. This treatment
'lis quite harmless and rarely more
than one application is required
!,but to avoid disappointment care
should be used to buy the real dela-
I' tone.
