THE OLDEST QUEST By William T. Hills The International Sunday School Lesson for June 20 is u Quar terly Revew. HH Sailing the Red Sea, as I am while write, with the saw-tooth moun tains of the Sinai Peninsula at my hand, it is congenial to paas in tho recent Sunday school All of them represent quest after God, and God s j^Bown reach to man. They stand for spiritual dimension of the hu- soul. They arc as up-to-date Ss the latest agonized prayer ui a l-BBoung man seeking peace, and older ■hun the Journey of Abraham down ■Hnto this Egypt.

Back me lies the Sinai Range; directly front, is the palm-fringed quar- station of Tor, while across water rise the blue mountains Africa. Both views embody the I was treating when I laid my pen abyoard ship; the su ■prcmo quest after God himself. I Sinai stands for that truth. There drew near to a Chosen Peo- The exodus was more than a to a land: it was a search the one God. In the hearts of noblest of the leaders of the Is- burned the passion to know ■c.od and. to do his will. Their zeal ■was rewarded by the Ten Command- which are still the timeliest ail contributions to the better ■ment of relations between nations between individuals. Sinai is mountain of the search. I turn and look at the many long, buildings of the Tor quarantine glnring in the noon sun; they, too, embody the Quest aft- Brr God. For this largest quarantine in the world is maintained Bby the British government for the fi protection of pilgrims returning B from Mecca to Egypt. In normal times there are twenty thousand pil- B erims every year at Mecca. They ■ come from every quarter of the hab- Bitable globe. All arc more or less B definitely striving to make their B peace with God. Theirs is the old, B old quest. They seek after the Father above, if haplv they may find ■ him. Who shall say that the God ■ who spoke at Sinai does not also B speak to devout seekers at the neigli ■ boring mountains of Mecca?

Whosoever goes with open mind and seeking heart to this Book of Books is sure to meet God therein. This, then, is the central thought of the day's lesson. God's way is shown by God's word. In the back of my Bible I find a clipping report ing an address of President "Wilson, delivered at Denver in 1911, which is more pertinent to this review than anything 1 could write. Nobody dreamed. backTtt 1911, that in less i than ten years the speaker would be 'the world's outstanding figure; and [that his ideals would be, reshaping the entire social order. What Makes America Groat "We do not Judge progress by ma terial standards. America is not ahead of the other nations of the world because she is rich. Nothing makes America great except her thoughts except her ideals; except her acceptance of those standards of Judgment which are written largely upon these pages of revelation. America has all along claimed the distinction of setting this example to the civilized world that men were to think of one another, that governments were to be set up for the service of the people, that men were to be Judged by these moral standards which pay no regard to ( rank or birth or conditions, but, which assess every man according to his single and individual value. This is the meaning of this charter of the human soul. This is the standard by which men and nations have more and more come to be udged. "That is the reason that the Bible has stood at the back of progress. That is the reason that reform has come not from the top but from the bottom. "A tree is not nourished by its bloom and by its fruit. It is nour ished by its roots, which are down deep in the common and hidden soil, and every process of purifica tion and rectification comes from the bottom—not from the top. It comes from the masses of struggling human beings. It comes from the instinctive efforts of millions of hu man hearts trying to beat their way up into the light and into the hope, of the future. Those are the sources of strength, and I pray God that these sources may never cease to be spiritualized by the immortal sub jections of these words of inspira tion of the Bible. If any statesman, sunk in practices which debase a na- j tion, will read this single book hej will go to his prayers abashed. A Scholar Upon Literature "Do you not realize that there is; a whole literature in the Bible. It is not one book, but a score of books. Do you realize what literature is? Literature is a revelation of the hu man spirit, and within the covers of this one book are prose and poetry, history and rhapsody, the sober nar ration of the ecstacy of human ex citement —things that ring in one's cars llke v songs. These deep sources, these wells of inspiration, must al-1 ways be our sources, these wells of j inspiration, must always be our sources of refreshment and of re-1 newal. Then no man can put un just power upon us. We shall live in that chartered liberty in which a man sees the things unseen, in which he knows that he is bound for a country in which there are no questions mooted any longer of right and wrong. "Can you imagine a man who did not believe these words, who did not believe In the future life, standing up and doing what has been the heart and center of liberty always— standing up before the king himself and saying: 'Sir, you have sinned and done wrong in the sight of God, and I am his messenger of Judgment to pronounce upon you the condem nation of Almighty God. You may silence me, you may send me to my reckoning with my Maker, but you cannot silence or reverse the Judg ment.' That is what a man feels whose faith is rooted in the Bible. The Book That Makes -Men Brave "The man whose faith is rooted in the Bible knows that reform cannot be stayed, that the linger of God which moves upon the face of the nations is against every man who plots the nation's downfall or the people's deceit; that these men are simply groping and staggering in their ignorance to a fearful day of Judgment; and that whether one generation witnesses it or not, the glad day of revelation and freedom will come in which men will sing by the host of the coming of the Lord in his glory. "America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exem plify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scrip ture. I have a very simple thing to ask of you. 1 ask of every man and woman in this audience that from this night on they will realize that part of the destiny of America lies in their daily perusal of this great book of revelations that if they would see America free and pure, they will make their own spirits free and pure by this baptism of the Holy Scripture." •Hie International Sunday School I/osson for June 2 is a Quarterly Review. Itching, Scratching, Skin Diseases That Burn Like Flames of Fire Here Is a Sensible Treatment That Gets Prompt Results For real, downright, harassing, discomfort, very few disorders can approach so-called skin diseases, such as Eczema, Tetter, Boils, erup tions, scaly irritations and similar skin troubles, notwithstanding the lavish use of salves, lotions, washes, and other treatment applied exter nally to the irritated parts. No one ever heard of a person being afflicted with any form of skin diseases whose blood was in good condition. Therefore, it is but logical to conclude that the proper method of treatment for Soldier Candidates For Adams County Offices Gettysburg. Pa., June 27. —Anoth- er soldier returned from the great war overseas is a candidate for of fice in Adams county, J. HarryTrox ellf Jr., being an aspirant for county treasurer of the Democratic ticket. This makes four of the boys who saw active service trying for political office at the primaries to be held in September: John W. Hartman, of Gettysburg, for sheriff, and J. Ches ter Bell, of Straban township, for clerk of the courts, both on the Re publican ticket, and Horace E. Smiley, of Gettysburg, for register and recorded, and J. Derry Troxell, Jr., of Gettysburg, for county treas urer, both on the Democratic ticket. LITTLE GIRL INJURED Gettysburg, Pa., June 27.—Ruth Weaver, aged thirteen, a daughter of Calvin Weaver, of Arendtsville, had her collarbone fractured when the front and rear wheels of Abraham Trostle's steam threshing rig passed over her shoulder. Abraham Trostle was on his way to Andrew Kane's farm to hull crimson clover seed when several Arendtsville girls, in cluding the Weaver girl, ran to climb on the wagon. The girl miss her hold on the wagon, fell to the ground and was run over.
