How Youthful Martyr to the Cause of Liberty Met Death With Fortitude That Can Never Be For gotten. When the farmers of Lexington fired the shots that brought on the war of American Inde pendence that April day in 1775, a pale, slim boy, not yet twenty years old, destined to become a martyr - to our freedom, laid down his badge of onlce as a schoolteacher at New London, J Conn., and took up the sword. Tbat boy was Nathan Hale. His heroic sac rifice to his country's cause Is one of the treasured pages in American his tory. New London went wild with excite ment when the news of the battle of Lexington reached there. Dands of patriots paraded the streets. Guns were fired and speeches made. A meet ing was called at once to determine what that city should do In the war. Every man of prominence spoke and then the young schoolteacher was called to the platform. What words he said that day have been lost to pos terity, but we do know they mu?t have been the most stirring of the occawlon, for Immediately after he left the plat form men began marching forward to enlist. One sentence of Nathan Hale's that day has been preserved and it Is worthy to rank with the greatest say ings of our natlou. "Let us march immediately and nev er lay down our arms until we have obtained Independence," he said. That is all the more remarkable when one remembers that It was more than a year later before Independence was talked of In the continental con press and it was two years before the Declaration ot Independence was adopted. Nathan Hale enrolled as a lieuten ant lu the regiment of Col. Charles Webb. His studious habits stood him in good stead, and soon he was one of Too Late, He Realized That ... the the best officers In the regiment He went with his company to Boston and during the siege of that city by the army under General Woshington the twenty-year-old boy was promoted to be a captain for bravery and effi ciency. When the British evacuated Bos ton and sailed for New York a greater part of the American army went down that way. Captain Hale and his regi ment were among them. They took part In all tho hardships of that cam paign. Late In the summer of 177C, when the British had driven the American army from Long Island, General Washington was particularly anxious to establish some sort of secret In formation line Into New York. He tried many plans wlthou success. Finally he summoned .bin officers to a council and told them to be on the lookout for some bright, courageous man who would undertake the dan gerous task. He spoke, among others, to Colonel Knowlton of Knowlton's Rangers, the regiment to which Cap tain Hale was attached. Colonel Knowlton conferred with his officers. When he put the propo sition to them every cheek paled. If the messenger should be caught they all knew he would be hanged as spy. The word spy is a horrible one to an honorable man. No one volun teered to risk a death of shame. For a few moments there was a hush In the room. Then Captain Hale walked In and said: "I will undertake it, sir." Captain Hale had been Blck In bed for some time, and his fellow officers crowded about , him seeking to dis suade him from Ms purpose. Among them Capt William Hull, a classmate of Hale's at Yale, spoke the longest. But the youthful captain could not be shaken from his purpose. "Gentlomen," he said, "I owe my country tho accomplishment of an ob ject so Important and so much desired by the commander of our armies. I know of no mode of obtaining the in formation but by assuming a disguise and passing Into the enemy's camp. 1 am fully aware of the consequences of discovery and capture in such a situ ation. I wish to be useful, and every kind of service for the public good beebmes honorable by 'being neces sary." In such manner did Captain Hale turn spy. That night he left the camp at Harlem Heights dressed In the hrown garments and broad brimmed hat of a schoolteacher, He was ac companied a short distance by Ser geant Hempstead and his faithful serv ant, Ab1 Wright, who arranged to have a boat ready for Captain Hale for his return, September 20. Ui;'..r:.:,.,T Nathan Male had no troublu in pi-n tratlng the British lines. He went tt New York and over to Drooklyn. care fully collecting Information about the number of British soldiers, their can non, ammunition, other supplies and fortifications, In Latin, and concealed It In a hollowed out place In one of his boot heels. September 19 he began his return. He spent the night at ft farm bouse near the place where the boat was to wait for blm. The next morning he went to breakfast at a little wayside Inn, "The Cedars," kept by a widow named Chichester. During his meal a man entered and stared at him. Cap tain Hale paid little attention, as he thought he was safe by now. As soon as the meal was finished he bunted off to the rendezvous. It was a misty morning. As Hale approached the beach he saw a boat pulling In. Glad almost beyond belief to be rid of his dangorous task he hurried down to meet it Too late he realized that Instead of Sergeant Hempstead and Ansel Wright the boat was filled with British marines. He turned to run, but the marines caught him. "What are you doing out so early?" a marine demanded. "Isn't It proper for a schoolteacher to get a breath of fresh air?" Hale asked In reply. "Why did you run?" "1 thought you were rebels." The murines would not believe Hale's assertions of Innocence and be gan to search hltn. They looked ev erywhere without success. One pulled off his boots and reached Inside. Noth ing suspicious had been found and the marines reluctantly were prepar ing to turn him loose when one of them, with an oath, threw the boot he held at a tree. That tore away the strip that covered the secret hiding place and the papers fell out. Captain Hale was then taken aboard a frigate In the harbor and later to New York, whore General Howe ques tioned him. There was nothing to do but admit that he was a spy. General Howe Immediately ordered that the young patriot be hanged the following day and turned him over to an officer named Cunningham, the provost mar shal. That night Hale was kept In soli tary confinement. He begged to be allowed to write letters to his mother and Alice Adams, his sweetheart, In New London. Cunningham furnished him with paper and ink and then de stroyed the letters in front of Hale, saying: "The rebels should never know they Boat Was Filled With British Marines. had a man who could die with such firmness." Hale asked that a minister or a Bi ble be sent to him. Both were refused. Tho only favor he received was being allowed to rest in the tent of a young British officer whilo on his way to his death. Early on the morning of September 22, 177C, it. was Sunday, Hale was con ducted to the scaffold. Cunningham cuffed him brutally and said: "Mako your dying speech." Hale had been praying. He con tinued and when he had finished rose to his feet and faced the crowd of British soldiers and townspeople. In a loud, clear voice he said: "I regret that I have but one life to give to my country." "Swing the rebel off!" Cunningham Shouted, and thus died one of the moBt heroic figures In our history.

The Shame of the Cross Br REV. WM. WL,LACE KETCHUM DlTKtac af lha Practical Wof k Couth, Moody BiU( laMituM ( OiufO TEXT He endund the cross, despising the shame. lleb. 1:2. The eross, which ChrlBt endured and the shame of which he despised, was not the Idealized and sentimental ized cross of which we hear much today. It was a cross made of r o u g h - h ewn sticks of timber; an i n s t r u m ent, like the gallows, upon which crlm lnals were exe cuted. And yet. Christ, we are told, not withstanding this, despised Its shame. What shame? Tb( hame of being put to death as a com mon criminal. For It was as such, you will recall, he was condemned to death and as such he died In the eyes of the law; though he did nothing worthy of death, and Pilate bis Judge found lr him no fault at all. When we apprehend that Jesus Christ, the Holy One of God, suffered tho reproach, the dishonor, the con tempt, the Infamy and Ignominy of a common criminal's execution, w e begin to know a little of the shame of the cross. We understand something of what Paul means when, speaking of Christ becoming obedient unto death, he adds, "even the death of the cross.' Hut there Is a deeper shame than that of which we have spoken. It Is the shame that came to him through dying; his death identified him with the result of sin, for death Is a conse quent of sin. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered Into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." So, while Christ suffered the shame of dying the death of a common criminal, It was greater shame for him, the Son of God, in whom was no fin, to die at all. The teaching of the philosophers that death is natural to man, is not the teaching of the Bible. The body Is not the prison-house of the soul from which escape Is desirable. The body and soul united ronstitu'e the com plete man. This does not mean that when the dissolution of soul and body takes place, the soul does not survive the body. The Scriptures teach It does; but they also teach that man's complete personality consists in the union of both soul und body, and that this will be realized at the resurrection of the just. Death then is not natural, but unnatural. It is the resultant of sin, and so for Christ to die was a dis grace, a reprouchr a shame. Heath had no dominion over Christ; no claim up on him for he was without sin. "No man," he wild, speaking of his death, "taketh my life from me, but I lay It down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again." He alone of all men could say this. Other men die because they must, for "death has passed upon all men." He became obedient unto death; he yielded up his spirit; that is, he al lowed death, the great conqueror of mankind, to overcome bim. He suf fered Its shame. But deep as this shume was, the shame of the cross was still deeper. It was the shame of our sin. For there on tho cross, "He bore our sins In his own body;" there, "the Lord laid on him the lninuity of us all;" there, "he suffered for our sin, the just for the unjust, thut he might bring us to God;" there, the holy spotless lamb of God "died for the ungodly." Thus, "the one who knew no sin," became identified, not only with the result of sin by death, but with sin, being "made sin for us." H was this, more than any thing else, that constituted the shame of the cross of our Lord. Its baseness and dishonor was your sin and mine, which he there put put away by the sacrifice of himself. Was It for crimes that 1 have done, He groaned upon the tree. Amazing pity, grace unknown, And Love beyond degree! Yet our text tells us he endured the cross, despising the Bhame. I wish we might catch the picture given us of our Lord In the two words "despised" and "endured." The first word shows him so far above the shame of the cross that he, as It were, looked down upon it. Literally, the word means "to think down upon;" that is, to think lightly of It. What a wonderful Christ! Because of the Joy set before him, he could think lightly of the awful shame of the cross. Truly, our master "came not Co be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many." The other word, "endured," pictures him as voluntarily, patiently, suffering on the accursed cross. We see him held there, not by the cruel nails that pierced his hands and feet, but by his own Indomitable will and supreme love for us. Human hands placed him there, but divine love kept him there. In closing, let me ask, what Is your attitude regarding the cross and the Christ of thecroBS? For you, my friend, he endured the cross, despising the shame. Pray what have you done with him and with his cross? Scorned him and his cross! Rejected him and his cross! "No," you say, "I have not re jected him I am Just neglecting him." Well, then, lot me reply: To neglect blm Is to reject him, and to re ject him Is to be lost. I be seech' you no longer, by your Indif ference and neglect, to trample under foof the son of God, but accept him by faith, to love him and to serve him. Then you too can say with the Apostle Paul, the great preacher of the cross, "God forbid tbat I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.' V JNimnoNAL siwrsaiooi . Lesson (By K. O.

GOLDEN TEXT-Chlldren obey yoar parents In the Lord: for this U lighC Epheslana 1:1. His connivance with Jonb, In (he death of L'rlah, was a costly bargain for David, and the development of sin In his family with Its long train of fearful consequences teaches -us that sin respects not person nor position. The dark story of chapter 13 tnvolves Absalom's flight and Joab's strategy In getting him back to Jerusalem (ch 14). All Is not as well, however, as It outwardly appears, for Absalom the beautiful (14:25) soon stole the heart of the ten tribes, Israel (ch, 15), from hla Indulgent and Indifferent parent Then follows the story of that father's flight and of the son's entry Into the capital city. This entire story is one of the most wonderful dramas recorded In secular or sacred history. It may be divided roughly as follows: Act I. Absalom slays his brother. Act II. David falls to become fully reconciled. Act HI. Ab salom's rebellion. Act IV. David's grief. The lesson for today has to do with Acts UL and IV. Act III. Scene 1. David's Flight and Finesse, chapters 15, 16 and 17, "A foolish son la a grief to his father. and bitterness to her that bare him1 (Pro v. 17:22). Oo the other band an Indulgent and an Indifferent father brings grief to his son. Scene 2. The Battle of Mount Ephralm (chapter 19). David at the Gate, t. 1-5. The place where David "numbered" (v. 1) his followers w Mahanalm (17:27), where Jacob saw the two -hosts" of angels (Gen. 32:1, 2). What David saw was quite dif ferent As he waited be bad Ums to contemplate that other time that he remained behind when he ought to have gone forth to battle and which resulted in the sin for which he was even now suffering (ch. 11:1-7). Ab salom was shrewd as men count shrewdness, but he made one fatal omission In planning his campaign, he left God out of bis reckoning (ch. 17:14 R. V.). David s use of Hushal was fully Justified by the situation into which this reckless son was pre cipitated, still it Is probable that David listened to the advice of bis followers (v. 3) more willingly because of his reluctance to fight against his own son. It Is, Indeed, a sad, sad spectacle to see David stand watching his army go out to battle, perhaps to slay his son, and his exhortation (v. 5) to his three captains falls upon dull ears In the case of Joab. David's chief con cern was for Absalom, not for himself nor for his army, but the time when his anxiety would avail had passed Every man pays dearly, sooner or la ter, for his sin; the longer he waits the greater the reckoning. Scene 3. Absalom's Defeat, vv 6- 10. The battle was so planned that the advantage of the forest was on Da vid's side and more of the enemies of David were smitten by the hand of God (v. 8) than were slain by the servants of David. These men brought Judgment upon themselves through their disloyalty to Cod's chosen .king (Judges 5:20, 21) and In this we see a type of that final victory which shall end oar David's engage ment with his foes (Rev. 79:11-21; II Thcss. 2:8). Men who today are disloyal or disobedient to God's chosen King can only expect "a cer tain fearful looking for of Judgment and fiery Indignation which shall devour the adversaries" (Heh. 10:27). At the end of the battle proud Absalom is not found In his chariot but helplessly en tangled In the crown of his pride. Scene 4. Absalom's Deatri, vt. 11-15. "Absalom chanced to meet" (t. S R. V.); there is no chance In the provi dences of God. His dcufro to meet David's servants Is granted, yet that meeting brought Absalom dismay, de feat and ruin. Joab now takes matters Into his own hands. He held David In his power and had a debt to pay Absalom (ch. 14:29). Most dearly did Absalom pay the penalty to this vengefuL Ume abidlng soldier. Joab was not content to slay this proud youth, but to show his contempt he cast the dead body into a pit and raised over It a "great heap" of stones (v. 17). So Absalom's proud monument (v. 18) failed of Its Intended purpose. David's victory was complete; even so will be the ul timate victory of our "greater David" (Phil. 2:10, 11). Act IV. David's Grief, v. 19-33. Scene 1. The Messengers. Again our attention is centered upon the grief stricken father. His anxiety is sin cere and heart-breaking, but It Is tardy. The first messenger, Ahlmssx, Is a good man, but brings not good news. Is our message one of life or of death? The second messenger gives a diplomatic but blunt answer to David's anxious Inquiry. What cared David for his enemies, his army, nay for himself, if only the "young man" were safe. Application. "Is the young man safe?" Industrially, socially, physical ly, morally, spiritually, his safety de dends upon the guidance of tho home, the father and the church. Only as parents hear and obey the Waster's words, "Bring thy son hither" (Luie 9:41) is the young man sate, David's sin was not however, sufficient cause for Absalom's downfall; he courted his own ruin (John 6:40). David's sorrow finds Its counterpart In the grief of Christ (Luke 19:41. 42) ; David's cry that he might die for Ab salom flndB its fulfillment In the fact tbat Christ did die for his enemies. The great outstanding lesson of this entire drama, extending from t&e eleventh to the nineteenth chapters, is: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also rd&p."

He Wouldn't Work With the Pie. An old negro man was standing by a grassy yard In front of a Chinaman's waslihouse when a woman walked t the street corner near by to board ear. The old man approached ber and, lifting his hat, politicly said: "Lady, can you tell me where I can obtain Job?" He held In his hand a loosely wrap ped package, from which protruded the edge of what was apparently a five, cent pie. The lady replied that he might ask the Chinaman for the Job of cutting the grass. So the colored man bar gained with the Chinaman to cut the grass, for which he was to receive 21 cents. Then It turns out that the Chinaman has no tools, and the colored man's lawn mower Is a long way off at bis home and he Is disinclined to go after It, for tho way Is weary, tho flesh tired. The lady finally suggested in a mat ter of fact way: "Are you going to cut tho grass with the pie?" The colored man drew himself up with great dig nity and replied, reprovingly: "I-ady, I never cut grass with a pie." Just Like Dad.
