THE GOAL OF ALL The International Sunday School Lesson For April 13 Is "Christ Our Saviour," John 1:35-51 By William T. Ellis Written on the surface of the World's social unrest, and yet un recognized by those who are suppos edly most concerned, lies a profound message for all of life. Bolshevlk lsm has challenged the old order, and has taken possession of great nations; yet most people are blind to the first significance of the facts. What means this marvel, that millions of men and women have cast off all their old allegiances, and their former fashion of life, and be come revolutionists? How may we interpret these slogans of brother hood and internationalism and free dom that are reaching around the globe?

FRIDAY EVENING, habbisburg TELEGtiAPH APRIL 11, 1919. there been such a rising up of man kind to lift aloud the battle cries of emancipation and of a better manner of life for all the weary and heavy laden. Even the most ancient and sluggish peoples, as well as the newest and best organized, are re sounding with songs of revolution. Whether they are misled or not, is aside from the point under discus sion at the moment. Sheer and stupendous rises before our very eyes the marvel of a wirld-wide, radical seeking after boons which are primarily spiritual. Deep in the heart of humanity, even the most stolid, illiterate and unfavored groups of humanity, dwells a pas sion for a new and better life, a life of freedom, a life of brotherhood, a life of justice for all the weak and over-burdened mortals of earth. Somethings has set that master chord to vibrating. The portentous social upheaval of our time is at basis a spiritual quest. It is more than a desire for ease and posses sion; it is a longing for life, full, abundant, unfettered life. Man-soul is crying aloud for satisfaction of its deepest and divlnest instincts. .Heart-hunger has become not only vocal, hut clamorous. Blindly, the liver and throws off all impurities —bowels heroine regular. The stomach performs her work by digesting the food and gets your stomach in a strong, healthy condi tion that you can eat anything and lie down and sleep like a babe and feel no ill effects. That's what Nu Vim will do. It's Nature's own gift of herbial life —to build up the diseased parts of humanity. Read the formula on the back of every carton. That's our story and no higher endorsement can be given. Try it for results. $l.OO per bottle. On sale at whole earth Is groping toward that which Jesus called the kingdom ot Heaven. Every custodian of spirit ual truth, every leader in religion, whatever his creed or organization, should be startded by this mighty human tide which is surging out side of all church. It is a veritable Messianic passion in modern guise Studying Our Own Time Occasionally we catch glimpses be neath the surface of men's lives, seeing what lies deeper than the struggle for position and possessions and pleasure, and we are surprised (though why we should be?) to find the rich and the learned and the powerful, as well as the poor and the lowly, dominated by a great spiritual yearning. Dissatisfied with material things, they hunger and thirst for they know not what. The Llama and the similar "Seekers" In Kipling's "Kim" arc representative of other lands than India. Some times it is workingmcn, like Andrew and John, the Galilean fishermen, who have turned aside to probe the message of a new teacher; some times it is the sage and saint, like Simean and Anna, who acclaim a Coming One. Bet any vital voice be lifted anywhere, whether In a Fifth Avenue pulpit or a wooden tabernacle or a college hall, and men and women who are lonely in their' souls will throng to hear it. Whoever does not discern this new sense of spiritual search in our own day is a superficial observer. It radi ates from the trenches of France; and from the newly-sacrificial spirit of the families of soldiers. In the utterances of the greatest statesmen and of most editors and writers it echoes consistently. As I have al ready declared. It Is what is real at the center of the ghastly imitation of fraternity and liberty and Justice called Bolsiiev'em. It Is simply be cause ihey have been unable to find the real thing that so many deluded millions have accepted this painted pretense. Tile Questers. Ours is the day of the questers. Everybody has his search.' Wrap ped up in the one big word, "Recon struction" all of us hope to find the fulfillment of our most cherished desires. War's heavy price having been paid, we now look for a com mensurate boon. It Is in the heart of humanity to believe that the long-sung and over-expected "good time coming" is now almost here. Soldiers arc looking for the fulfill ment of their long, long dreams while In exile and in battle. Re formers see the possibility of the friction of their desires and labors in the new \mind of mankind. Prophets acclaim this as tho day of truth's opportunity. Because there has been unexampled Expectation, there should bo commensurate Realization. Few are so dull as not to have learned somewhat of the lesson taught in France, the lesson of suf fering, of sacrifice, of vicariousness. Wo havo all been in the school of (lie broken heart. That is why wo are readier now than ever to listen to the word of the Finger-board Prophet as he cried, "Rehold the Lamb of God!" It is the Umb of sacrifice, the innocent Sufferer, the Buyer-back, or Redeemer, that meets our mood Just now. No splen did figure In shining armor, of world-conqueror or king, can satis fy the desire of tills generation. Our bruised hearts cry for a great Sac rifice, a great Hove, a great Recon ciler. Even John and Andrew, who first heard and heeded tho words of the Baptist, scarcely appreciated the sig nificance of his Characterization of Jesus as we do to-day: "Behold the Lamb of God." They were looking for a Messiah: had in truth, jour neyed all the way down from Galilee upon hearing reports 'of the new Prophet, who was speaking vital words by the Jordan. Their quest was for Israel's long expected King; it took some radical adjustment of their minds to be satisfied with h Lamb of atonement. Hie Expectation of the Ages. Stay-at-home philosophers, who have not felt the deep tides of France flooding their souls, and who know not the majestic simplicities of religion for our awakened world. Some of their efforts are grotesque; most are pitiable. For they leave out the slain Lamb in tlio midst of the throne—that majestic figure, by the way, we owe 1o one of the two orudo Galilean fishermen whom the Baptizer that day pointed to the Lamb, after lie had ripened into the Seer of Patmos, and he beheld the opened heavens. This progress of John, the Beloved Disciple, Is illus trative of the truth that all who follow Jesus as Teacher and Saviour come one day to know him as heav enly King. Nothing less than tho Lamb of Sacrifice, the Christ who died for others, the inspirer of the sublime and vicarious offering of precious life on the fields of Flanders and of France, can satisfy our heart-hungry i time. It is wonderful beyond all idling that, whereas all philosophi cal speculations fail to meet the spiritual needs of our day, Jesus fulfitlls them all. The expectation of the ages is satisfied in him. We group all the qualities of character which the war has exalted, and, 10, they are perfectly fulfilled in him who is at once our Hero, our Leader our Inspirer, our Teacher, our Ex ample, our God. Every newspaper man is familiar with the progress of the appetite for publicity. A person gets his or her name into the paper, in the society column or in the political news, and likes the sensation so well that its repetition is sought. Even though publicity be secured on an increas ing scale, it. is never enough; tho appetite, which grows by what it feeds upon, is insatiable. The end is usually bitterness and disappoint ment, and frequently a belief that the editors are in conspiracy to keep tho publicity-seeker out of the public eye! As it is with this sort of machine-made fame, so it is also with wealth and position and pleas ure. None of them perfectly satis fy. They are not sustained gratifi cations. Satiety and pall come too soon. On the other hand, it is mar vellously true that to his true friends, Jesus Christ becomes an ev ver-increasing satisfaction. lie is the perfect love, which grows sweeter with every passing year. He satis fies expectation. But Thee, but Thee, O sovereign Seer of time, Buc Thee, O poets' Poet, Wisdom's Tongue, But Thee, O man's best Man, O love's best, love, O perfect life in perfect labor writ, O all men's Comrade, Servant, King, or Priest, — What, if or yet, that mole, what flaw, what lapse. What least defect or shadow of de fect. What, rumor, tattled by an enemy. Of Inference loose, what lack of grace Even In torture's grasp, or sleep's, or death's,— Oh, what, amiss may I forgive in Thee, Jesus, good Paragon, thou Crystal Christ ? How tho Revolution Spreads. In the early days, the cult of I ChVlst spread as radical socialism is spreading to-day—by man-to-man testimony. Tho most powerful mod ern movements are not those pro moted by press and pulpit. Profes sional propaganda has no such weight as the opinion that passes from man to man. The pride of print is rebuked by the rapid dis semination of convictions from lip to ear. The world is not dependent upon the published word for its opinions. What one person tells an other is more potent than what both read. Bolshevikism had no news papers in Germany; yet is was found ripe and ready all over the land, when the hour struck. That calls us hack to the lesson of the first Christian discipleship. The fellowship of the friends of Christ grew by personal testimony. Each person as ho found tho Lord, told somebody else. John told James; Andrew told Peter; Philip told Na thaniel. That process continued, in geometrical progress on, until the Christian brotherhood in a few cen turies had engulfed even the Roman Empire itself. To-day, in a spirit thirsty time, nro we to depend upon the enactments of the peace congress for our new world order; or jye we, one by one, each as he has oppor tunity, to bear witness to the indis pensahility of an era of good will anrl Christian fraternity? This lesson is being written abroad a steamship, with a cosmo politan company ef passengers. On public occasions we hear eloquent words about the Importance of An glo-American solidarity, and no man challenges these views. But private ly, in smoking room, at table and lon deck, the anti-British whisperers are at work, insidiously seeking to cut the bonds of this essential unity. It is a vivid and present illustration of the place and power of personal testimony: a sumnyons to every friend of the world to become a per sonal evangelist of good will between Great Britain and America. Even more is it a reminder that Christ's cause in our day—which is man's cause, too- needs witness-hearers who will, quietly, naturally, persis tently, bear testimony that ho ful fills the great expectation of our time.

Lancashire mules and looms are idle while the world Is clamoring for cotton goods, says the Manchester correspondent of the Daily Mail, which adds that crowds of unemployed demonstrated in front of the Manchester Town Hall M.ill owners have been criticised but the real trouble, tho correspondent says, is that cus tomers cannot afford to pay the prevail ing high charges. F. E. Stockton, president of the Man chester Chamber of Commerce, says that from £6,000.000 to £7,000,000 worth of yarn and cloth is being held back, al though badly needed in Holland,' Don mark and Scandinavia, and urges the removal of restrictions on the export of manufactured goods to neutral coun tries.
