This reniiirkable photograph was
taken Inside th Ceriiinn lines from
the airplane of an aviator who made
a raid on a grat boche ammunition
depot. The daring nvlator, starting
out on the apparently reckless ven
ture of getting by the Germnn lines
and successfully bombing the Teuton
stores of munitions, flew to a point
above the depot and dropped quanti
ties of Incendiary bombs 'while the
Germans kept firing a terrific fusillade
at him. Despite the danger, he kept
at his task and earned his reward
when he bow the munition storehouse
burst Into flames. The smoke from
tho burning depot can be seen ascend
ing. The aviator returned to his own
lines safely.
Her Choice.
Haiel was at a loss to make a choice
between two young sprouts In her gar
den of love. She desired a hardy
plant, one that would thrive in any soli
and under any conditions. No shadow
must prevent the sprout selected from
growing.
Every day could not have Its full
allotment of sunshine. Which would
she choose? Either was pleasing to
the eye. Then came a day when the
wind blew hard a. draft from one end
of the country to the other.
One of the sprouts withered from
the biting blast. The other thrived
nnd grew as though It had been blessed
with continual sunshine. Now Hazel
Is happy. Her choice bus been made.

Hit Jinx.
The day that tho men of the Ninth
division completed their rifle practice
at Fort Harrison a little dog was out
on tho range, running back and forth
In front of the targets. When a bullet
hit one of the targets with a "zing."
the little dog would rush up to the tar
get with a yelp, barking at the target
until another "zing" attracted him to
another target. For more than an hour
he bounded back and forth In front of
the targets, a fearless little venturer
In "no man's land," and finally when
he wus called oft, he trotted oway not
a whit tho worse for his experience In
front of the tiring line of student of
ficers. "I hope I hnve the some sort of a
Jinx on the Germans' bullets that the
little mutt seemed to have on ours,"
said one fellow when the dog had been
colled off the range. Indianapolis

Coffee Market In Our Hands.
Prior to the trouble In Europe Ham
burg and Havre were the two great
coffee markets of the world, both re
ceiving goods from the growers of all
the world and storing them In wonder
ful warehouses to bo re-exported ac
cording to trade requirements. Today
both these markets are totully elimi
nated and It Is within our power to
dominate the coffee trade of tho fu
ture. Conditions for this are Ideal. In the
first plare no duty Is charged on coffee
Imported Into the United Stutes. Sec
ondly, we are well situated, geo
graphically, to become the distributing
center for this staple for the western
hemisphere and should be the middle
men for Ibis line for the bean grown
In South and Central Amerlcn nnd the
West Indies. Furthermore, our larger
ports have many merchants handling
this article exclusively.
The Fates Have Itl
Two young stenogrophers were dis
cussing the camp at Ft. Benjamin Har
rison, which, since they were young
stenographers, means that they were
talking about the men out at tho fort.
It was the day after the commissions
had been announced for the first train
ing camp.
"What do you think about It, hon
ey?" Inquired the first.
"I think it's a shame," replied the
other. "Why, Audra, do you know that
back In July I had my choice of three
of the nicest, good-looking fellows out
there. Well, I didn't want to be a
pig, so I Just picked the most promis
ing. Now they have passed out those
commissions. One of the two I turned
down Is a second lieutenant, nnd the
other Is really a captain. I Jut George

PSALM 3 OF DELIVERANCE.

OOl.PKN TKXT They tlmt now It
tcsri klmll reap In Joy.-Palii 120:5.
These I'snlins breathe the spirit of
the true patriot. The I'salmlst sees
his ullllcted country suffering for the
sins of the people, prnys for their
restoration to the IHvlne favor, and
with tjie eagle eye of fulth ontlclputes
the Joyful day of spiritual and tem
poral blessings because of restoration
to the Dlvlno favor. Doubtless such
pal riot Ism would be pleasing to th
I.ord on the part of us all.
rsalm 85.
I. Praises for Mercies Received
(vt. 1-3).
I'rulse Is given for i
(1) Iiellvenince from Captivity (t
I).
Ho bad In mind the specific mercies
of u given time; perhaps It wus one
of the oppressions of tho I'hllistlnea
from which they had been delivered.
There seems to be no giU ground for
thinking that this was a deliverance
from the ISabylonlan cnptlvlty. Ills
praise Is given to the I.ord, tho name(
ffeuled to Moses when the people
were In bondage. It was fitting for
him to appeal to God by the name
which expressed the Divine uttrlbute
most concerned. The centrnl meaning
of the n a ni o Lord Is the Unchanging;
Self-Existing One.
(2) Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 2. 3).
"Thou hnst forgiven tho Iniquity
covered nil their sin." God's restore
U'ui wus tho proof that he had par
7 ned. Grent Indeed was the sin of
Jacob, but God's forgiveness was great-j
or. He Is peculiarly a God of mercy.!
Having forgiven the sins his anger ls(
taken away. He stayed his hand front;
the Judgment which would have Justly,
fallen, to show his mercy. Many times
he does this with us. The reason he
cun do this Is that he has foiind a'
way by which he can be Just, and at
the same time Justify the sinner (Hom J
13:20). In Christ's atonement all oar
sins are blotted out, covered up, and
because of this God's burning, fierce
anger Is turned from us.
II. Prayer for Restoration From
Backsliding (vv. 4-7).
He knew how worthless the outward
blessings of the Lord would be unless
the people Inwardly turned to the
Lord. He, therefore, besought tho
Lord to give them the grant cr blessing,
thut of a change of heart. Without the
change of heart forgiveness would bo
futile. A change of heart can only bo
by God's help. Salvation and restora
tion Is only possible ns God bestows
enabling grace. No one can come to
God by his own efforts. It was for this
reason that the I'salmlst prayed that
God would turn them. Only as the,
people turn from Iheir sins can God's
anger be turned aside. Two things are
prayed for:
(1) That God would turn the hearts
of his p'ople toward himself (v. 4).
Knowing tho people's utter helpless
ness to turn to God, he cried out to
(od to snve them by turning them to
himself. Ho knew that God's anger
could not turn from the people as long
as they were Impenitent.
(2) That God would tuke nwoy tho
very remembrance of their sins (vv.
5-7).
(a) The ending of his anger (v. B).'
The desire seems to be that he would
wipe out the very marks of his (lis-'
pleasure by not longer allowlug pun
ishment to be meted out to them.
(b) Tho return to the people's Joy
(v. G).
Their Joy could only be realized
through a revival from God. The
I'salmlst now becomes more bold In his
requests. He Is getting nenr enough to
God's heart to know that ho delights
In the welfare of his children, delights
In their Joy. The sure proof of a re
Tivnl Is Joy. ,
(c) Shnll show them mercy (v. 7).
"Make It visible," Is his cry. God's
Judgment was most real. His desire Is
that his mercy would be Just as real.
III. Exultant Anticipation (vv. 8-13).
Having spoken the sentiment of the
repentant people, the poet expresses
confidence of the Lord's response. So
faithful Is God that those who sin
cerely pray fo him can go forward
with the assurance of petitions granted,
(1) "He will speak peaco" (v. 8).
Ho knew that a gentlo answer would
come, but Its continuance would de
pend upon tho fidelity of the people;
Turning to folly would provoke again
his wrath.
(2) Will bring his salvation near
(v. 0).
Only as Ms salvation was near could
glory be In the land.
(3) Devise a way by which "Mercy
and truth," "Itlghtaonsness and peace,"
may be united (vv. 10, 11).
He did not suggest a way. He may
not have known it. Faith now sees
the way In Christ. In him such a
union has been blessedly effected.
(4) The land shall become fruitful
(v. 11).
When sin Is removed, temporal pros
perity shall follow. Earth's barren
ness Is due to sin. When the curso Is
removed frultfulness shall follow.
(5) Itlghteousness shall be the
guldo of his peoplo (v. 12).
In thnt golden, glad age God's right
eous ways will leave a track In which
his own may walk with security.
Tsalm 120.
I. The Fact of Zlon's Deliverance
(vv. 1, 2).
(1) By whom (v. 1). The Lord.
(2) Effect of (vv. 1,2).
(a) Tho people were scarcely able
to believe It. So sudden and unexpect
ed was their deliverance that It
seemed to them as a dream. They ex
pressed their feeling In Jgyful laughter.
(b) The heathen noted their deliver
ance as marvelous, and ascribed It to
God (v. 2). -
