Asbestos is a potential llfesaver. We do not all realize, perhaps, that the fireproof theater curtain is made of asbestos, which is rock matter, but nevertheless almost as soft and pli able as cotton or woolen fabric. Asbestos has, of course, many other uses. Its Incombustibility and Its fibrous structure make It one of the most useful minerals for many and various structural purposes. It Is UBed in making lumber, roofing, plaster and stucco. Houses that are built largely of as bestos afford their occupants not only complete protection from fire because It Is a "nonconductor," but assure them also comfort of freedom from extreme heat and cold. The asbestos producing Industry of the United States is growing. For many years we have been the greatest manufacturers and users of asbestos, drawing our raw material from Cana da, but we are now getting some ex cellent fiber In our own country.

WALLACE K ETC HUM f DiractM ol w Practical Wol Cauria, Moadf $ Bibb UmuU Caicaso TEXT Marvel not that I aald unto thee, ye mint be born again. John 1:7 Man by nature Is radically wrong. This, because of sin. If we do not know this by ex perience we may know it by the Word of God. "All we like sheep have gone astray," says tbe Prophet Isaiah. "We have turned everyone to his own way." (Isa. 63:6.) This means we are lost, for stray sheep are lost sheep. Not a few, not the lower strata of so- jt duty, not Just V3 the drunkards, the UBIAUtB, IUV thieves, the murderers, but all are lost God, through the Apostle Paul, says, "All have sinned and come short of tbe glory of God." (Rom. 3:23). And the Apostle John adds, "If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we say that we have not sinned we make him (God) a llur." (1 John 1:8-10.) Thnt is, by so saying we really say to God, "You He when you suy we have sinned." My friend, let us not make God out a liar, and let us not deceive ourselves, nor be deceived by man about sin. Yea, rather "let God be true but every man a liar." Surely the testimony of his word is unmistakably clear that all men, because of sin, are radically wrong. What David says of himself Is true of every one of us, "Behold, I was brought forth In .In iquity and in sin did my mother con ceive me" (Psalms 61:5, R. V.). No matter, then, how well born we may have been, tbe truth is we must be born again. This means that because we are rad ically wrong we must be radically changed. How then shall this change be wrought? To reform oneself does not effect the change, for reformation is simply an outward process and does not alter man's essential nature, any more than to whitewash the pump changes the water in the well. To move Into a better neighborhood and into a better dwelling does not effect the change, for that is simply leaving a less desirable environment for a better one. No one would try to change the character of a bulky, kick ing horse by removing It from a dilapi dated shed to a palace stable. The propensity to kick and balk would re main just the same. To cultivate one's intellect doos not alter one's heart, out of which, says Jesus, are the Issues of life. It may refine the sinner, but It will not save him. The truth Is, man does not have the power resident within himself to work the change. Notwithstanding the boasting of his natural heart, he is absolutely help less and undone when it comes to making the change that is necessary if he is to see or enter into the king dom of God. But what man cannot do for himself, God, In Infinite mercy, is ready and willing to do for him. Ample provi sion has been made by which man radically wrong may be radically changed. First, God sent Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, to seek and save tbe lost. Secondly, the Good Shepherd laid down bis life for the sheep. That is, on the cross he died for our sins, the Just for the unjust. Thirdly, he not only laid down his life for the lost sheep, but he toerk It again. He rose from the dead and today, as the Living One, who was dead and is alive for evermore, be gives life. Hear him say, "For as the Father raUeth up the dead and qulckeneth them, even so the Son qulckeneth whom he will" (John 5:21). And to whom, we may well ask, does he will to give life? To those and only to thoae who come to blm for life. Among the saddest words that Jesus ever uttered are these, "Ye would not come unto me that ye might have life" (John 6:40). That which was true then, is sadly true now, for only one thing keeps a man who is radically wrong from being radically changed, and that is his own will. "But how," you say, "shall I come?" Come, my friend. Just as you are, with all your sin. God knows, if you do not, bow much you need to be changed, and God knows, if you do not, that unless you do come and are born from above you cannot enter into the king dom of heaven. Perhaps you do not understand Just what it is to come to Christ. It Is Just this and nothing more: to come to Christ Is to receive him by faith as your own personal Savior; It is to trust him to do in your life Just what he says he will do, save you from sin, Its guilt and power. Will you do that? Will you believe him? Will you re ceive him now? If so, Just II i't your heart in prayer to God and say: "Qh, God, I now take Jesus Christ as the Savior and Lord of my life, and ask thee to make the radical change in my life that I so much need, for I de sire to see and to enter into the king dom of heaven. Do this, oh, God, foi Christ's sake." Then, having done this in your heart, read these Scrip tures very carefully over again, pray ing God to open the eyes of your un derstanding that you may see the truth of his Word. "But as many as received blm to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" (John 1:12). "Whosover belloveth that Jesus Is the Christ is born of God" (1 John 6:1) Then, at the first opportunity you have, tell someone else what you have done and keep right on telling others, for Jesus says: "Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven" (Matt. 10:32). I " J f " IMUMTIONAl SuTWSWL Lesson (By O. E. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Inatltute.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 19 DEFEAT THROUGH DRUNKEN NESS. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 20:10-21. GOLDEN TEXT Wine and new wine JJk" away the undemanding. Hos. 4:11 rt. V. We feel somewhat like questioning the title of this lesson. It can be used as a temperance lesson no doubt, but to attribute Den-hadad's defeat entire ly to drunkenness Is not quite true to the facts. Jehovah's Jealousy of his name (v. 13) and the enemies' con tempt for Jehovah (vv. 23, 28) are the fundamental causes of the defeat of the Syrians though, of course, drunk enness, as an exhibition of self-indulgence and therefore of weakness, was a natural accompaniment of that con tempt for God. I. Ahab's Predicament, vv. 10-12. The Syrian king's contemptuous treat ment of Ahab (vv. 1-7) at last became so great that In sheer desperation the people refused to listen to his demands (v. t). His forces far overwhelmed the little army of Israel (vv. 1, 10, 27), but one was on Ahab's side who had not yet withdrawn his mercy from Israel and with whom lien-hadad could not cope (v. 13; Rom. 8:31; -Phil. 4:13). Hen-hadad was the most pow erful monarch of his time of those na tions bordering upon the Mediter ranean. The march of his army was like "a tempest of hail, an overwhelm ing scourge" with unrestrained power. The effect was worse than the plagues of Egypt. But Ben-hHdad was a drunk ard, a habitual one (vv. 12-16). Samaria was- rich and this king want ed It even as intemperance always lusts after the wealth of youth and the gold of a nation (vv. 3, 12). Drink always makes a fool of Its victim and dooms to ultimate defeat all who yield to its power (ch. 16:9; II Sam. 13:28; Prov. 31:4, 6; Luke 21:34; Eph. 0: IE). Tradition tells of a monk who was offered the alternative of committing one of two crimes or of getting drunk. Choosing drunkenness as the lesser evil he awoke from his debauch to find he hud committed both of the crimes. Intemperance becomes too greedy in Its demands and its results so terrible that thoughtful people are at lata moved with Indignation. There Is no drinking in moderation. There is no such thing as regulating tbe liquor traffic. For every $500 received by license $5,945 Is the average cost to the taxpayer for each saloon. Hut that is not all. The saloon takes also tbe very Joys Its cup promises and turns its visions into torments. II. God's Prophet, vv. 13-15. It was Indeed dark for Ahab. He saw (v. 13) the host confronting 1 m but he also heard tbe word of Jehovah. As con trasted with Jehovah that multitude was but as a handful of dust. God is on the side of temperance. All of God's laws favor' temperance. Our ever-living glorified leader and the energizing power of the holy spirit are the ones who are the source of our victories over all principalities and powers of evil. Ahab's predicament is answered by God's "I will deliver" (v. 13) and so today we have his sure promise of victory (Eph. 6:10-12). God has today set forth his prophets (I Cor. 12:28) to proclaim his mes sage of salvation and power to over come intemperance. This is not a "necessary evil." Experts and scien tists have clearly demonstrated Its be ing unneccessary and a drag upon so ciety, and God has taught us how to overcome It. Ahab's unfortunate char acter appears at its best In this story, but alas he and his successors soon forgot tbe lesson. To bis eager in quiries God made full answer and there Is no suggestion of his doubting God's word. III. Victorious Princes, vv. 16-21. To Ahab's question "by whom" is this de liverance to be wrought, God answers, "by the young men of the princes of the provinces" (v. 14). These choice young fellows are mustered in, 232 of them, as leaders of an army of 7,000, all who could be found in the capital. God delights to work through young men I John 2:13, 14) and the pages of history are strewn with the victori ous achievements of youth. "More precious than gold and silver are the youth of the nation," and it Is upon the youth the prosperity industrially, morally and spiritually of a nation de pends. "It Is a holy sight to see a nation saved by its youth; it is a grander sight to Christian students combined to save the world." Dr. John R. Mott. Two-thirds of Lincoln's army were under twenty-one years of age at their enlistment; the Vnlon was preserved by an army of boys. Ahab himself Is the leader (v. 14) and they began at once by carrying the battle Into the enemies' territory. Ben-hadad and his drinking compan ions never dreamed of being attacked at that hour. Like Gideon and his army these young men smote the Syrian host In overwhelming defeat. Israel's enemies had Incapacitated themselves. A drunken mob is no match for even a handful of organized and sober men. These thirty-three kings courted their own defeat (Prov. 23:29-32; Eccl. 11:10; Hos. 4:11). Ben hadad's kings "who helped him'' (v. 16) proved to be a reed for all the strength and support they rendered him in the moment of his need. It was the young men who went first, e.' g., struck the first blow. Ben hadad's serf-confidence and boasting (v. 18) is but another illustration of that "pride which goeth before de struction" (Pror. 16:18; Luke 18:14). The army of Israel was small (v. 15) but it did not hesitate to attack the superior force and that sort of faith will always incite others which will "follow them" (v. 19). l' Jix&zr (Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) INDICTMENT OF BOOZE. (By JUDGE GEMMIL. of the Municipal Court of Chicago.) I have observed that every bandit crew that goes forth to murder starts from a saloon; that every panderer has his rendezvous in a grogshop; that every den of thieves makes Its victims drunk before It robs them; that every bouse of prostitution has Its bar or Is in partnership with booze; that every gambling den either Is in a saloon or sustains a close re lationship with one; that the pick pocket "trust" Is housed In a saloon; that the "pay-off Joint" for the crook and the crooked policeman Is in a saloon; that the professional bonds men and character witnesses for thieves and holdup men are saloon keepers or bartenders. Booze has caused 200,000 divorces In the United States in the last twen ty years, and adds 25,000 more to this number every year. It divides more homes, fills more jails and emptieB more churches than all other influ ences combined. Judges, legislators, mayors, gov ernors and even presidents nit dumb or quail In the presence of this mon ster, which enters millions of homes and leaves them desolate. Booze never .built a park, a play ground, a school or a church, but is the enemy of them all. War may be hell, but where It slays its thousands booze destroys Its tens of thousands. PEOPLE BUYING HOMES. (By W. C. HOrCTIINR. West Virginia Real Estate Dialer.) "Being a real estate man, I am In a position to know whether or not the sale of whisky affects the growth of the business of the city. Prior to our campaign of 1912, the whisky Inter ests claimed that our storerooms would be vacant, that hundreds of our dwelling houses would be tenantless, and that real estate In general would suffer great depreciation. On the con trary, I find that the storerooms and dwelling houses are now all occupied, and that there are hundreds of appli cants for houses whose wants cannot be supplied at the present time. I wish to state that during this period of depression in business I am selling homes to men whom I have known for a number of years, and who are not making as much money as they were two or three years ago. These men are not investing in homes money which was saved by them when times were better, but are making small cash payments, and seem willing to assume the obligation of large month ly payments, which, in most Instances, will Induce tbe owner to sell. "I think it would be well for men in states which contemplate having a prohibition election, to study the con ditions as they now exist in West Vir ginia, if they are hesitating about vot ing the dry ticket because they fear it would hurt their community from a business standpoint." ANOTHER BLOW FOR ALCOHOL. Employees of the Anaconda Mining company have been given this warn ing in a bulletin posted by the com pany: "Never go to work after drinking liquor, and if you must drink, stay home. Experience has proved that a great many accidents are caused from drinking intox'icating liquors. It will be remembered that from September 1, 1914, to September 14, all saloons in Butte were closed; that from Sep tember 14 to September 24 they were open only from 8 o'clock in tho morn ing to 7 o'clock at night, and that for the remainder of the month they were open only from 7 o'clock In the morn ing to 10 o'clock at night. The acci dent records of the Anaconda Coppor Mining company show the following significant figures: Number of acci dents per ten thousand shifts: July, 6.22; August, 11.25; September, 4.21; October, 7.58; November, 6.07." TRAVELING SALESMAN WON. If you do not believe In tho efficacy and benefits of prohibition take a trip through the state of Kansas nnd you will experience a change of mind. At least, that is what happened to a traveling salesman, G. N. Mahon by name, who lives in South Carolina. Mr. Mahon was a bitter opponent of prohibition because he believed it was injurious to business. After mak ing a trip through Kansas he admitted he was converted. "The facts." he said, "are so different from the re ports that have been sent out by tho brewers. I have found business splen did in this state. I find a rustling and a progressive people, and the sight of towns without Baloons is an inspiration. I am going right hark home and take the stump for prohibi tion and its strict enforcement, and I am going to tell the folks there the truth about Kansas." WATER FOR CHRISTENING.
