Ecclesiastic Win War Honor. War honors have been won by many French ecclesiastics who were for merly professors nnd scholars In the French Ecclesiastical college In Rome, Italy. The college has' added to Its "Golden Book" three nominations of the legion of hoonr, two military med als, two medals of honor for service In combating epidemics at the French front, nnd more than fifty citations In the order of the day for galluntry In the field. Among the holders of the legion of honor nro the Rev. Father Cutlln, professor at the seminary, a tall, keen-faced, soldierly type of priest. Recently he come to Rome on short leave after nearly three years' fighting, nnd Rome, old nnd Indifferent as she Is, woke tip and rubbed Its eyes to see hla tall, spare figure, dressed half as a priest and half as a soldier, taking tho air meditatively on the Plnclan hill, wearing his legion of honor cross and looking like some old picture of chivalry, Hurled Into Sunshine. "I was in Petrograd during tho first appraisal of the new assets," writes Isaac F. Marcosson In Everybody's. "Like prisoners long Immured In the dark and suddenly hurled Into the sun shine, the people blinked in tho strange light of their unfamiliar emancipation.

Re-Mint American Gold Coins. American gold coins are being re- minted in Mexico nt a profit to tho Mexican government. Many taxes, federal nnd state, are paid In American gold, which by decree Is accepted as the equivalent of $t.90 Mexican money. Tho gold In each $10 American piece, however. Is sufficient to make two "hl- dalgoes." or Mexican $10 pieces. hvtw via vfy-r y First photograph showing n British "tank' going Into action before the gates of ancient Gaza In the Holy Land. .

LESSON TEXT-II Chronicles Sl:l-ll GOLDEN TEXT-Remepiber now thy Creator In ths days of thy youth.-Kocle. U:t The reign of Joslah Is In striking and pleasing contrast with that of many of his predecessors, especially that of, his father, Anion, and grand father, Manasseh. I. Time of Beginning (r. 1). Be as cended tho throne when only eight years of age. At this tender age he evidently had a sense of the import of tho service of God's house. This senso must have been strong to en able him to withstand the corrupt In fluences of his surroundings. The pre vailing Idolatry Influenced this boy, but Influenced him In the opposite way In which boys aro usually influenced. It aroused his hatred for it. Tbla serves to demonstrate the fact that circumstances do not necessarily de termine the direction a life may go. Each Individual has .the ability to de termine tho course of his life; and moreover, his responsibility so to do. It Is n most perilous thing to bo thrust into such a prominent position while so young. Uowcver, sometimes such responsibility has a sobering ef fect, calling forth one's latent powers. That his aspiration for God and the right was genuine Is proven by tho fact that he persisted therein for thirty-one years. II. The Character of His Reign (v. 2). "ITe did that which was right In the sight of the Lord, nnd walked In the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the rlghtJinnd nor to the left." He not only ifflilntalned outward order and decorum as to the worship of God, but doubtless at heart desired to please God. III. Jotlah'a Reformation In tha Kingdom (vv. 8-7). He first set out to root out Idolatry from the land. This was a prodigious task, requiring great courage and skill. He did this with a strong hand. Without pity he swept out from the land these abominations. In tho execution of this task he 1. Broke down the altars of Baalim (v. 4). This form of Idolatry was first brought Into the land by Jezebel when she married Ahab. The Images seem to have been such as would appeal to the sensual nature of men; therefore) It was but natural that the grossest licentious prnctlces should be asso ciated with thl worship. 2. He broke In pieces the( groves, carved images, nnd molten Images (v. 4). He even made dust of them and strewed it upon the graves of those who had been offering unto them. 3. He burned the bones of ths priests on their altars (v. 5). He not only showed no pity for them, but ho manifested a decided fierceness In the execution of his task. 4. He extended this destruction to certain districts In the northern king dom. It was not until all this was done that he returned to Jerusalem (vv. 0, 7). His reformation thus be gan at home, but was extended to the widest extent of his kingdom. IV. Joslah Repaired the Tempi (vv. 8-13). Having rid the lund of Its Idolatry, he set himself to the repair Ing of the temple which had been so long neglected. This neglect, coupled with gross abuses nt times, made It to be sadly In need of attention. 1. Ills deputies (v. 8). This work he intrusted to a committee of three Shaphan, the royal secretary (It Kings 22 :3) ; Masselah, mayor of Jerusalem ; and Joah, the recorder, the historian of the nntlon. In the matter of ridding the city and country of Idolatry Joslah took the lead In per son, but now the work had gone far enough forward that he could work by deputy. Ho chose his deputies from among "laymen" instead of the priests. 2. Method of procedure (vv. 0-13). (a) Collection of money (v. 0). It would seem that for some time collec tion of money for temple repairs had been going on. Perhaps it was begun In connection with the destruction of Idolatry some six years before. The agents In this work were the Levites. They collected It from all over the kingdom, even giving the remnant of Israel an opportunity for fellowship In this matter. This shows us that religious interests of the people should be sustained by all the people adhering thereto. (b) Money placed into tho treasury (v.O). Hllklah, the high priest, was the treasurer. From this treasury the overseers drew the money and paid It to the workmen who repaired tho tem ple. (c) The overseers (v. 12). Among the overseers wero certain skilled mu sicians. The duty of these overseers was to exercise supervision over tha carpenters, builders, and other arti sans, and the helpers of all classes. The musicians, by skillful music, in cited tho workman to dillgene and activity, thus lightening tho burdens of their toll. Music In the soul whlU working bears a very vital relation ship to the work itself. 3. The character of the work (v. 12). They did the work faithfully. This is a fine thins to be said of a set of workmen. To Remove Tobacco Stains. A little denatured alcohol applied with a brush will quickly remove the dark brown tobacco stains from copper or brass ash trnys. It Can't Be Done.
