She He stole the livery of heaven to serve the devil In. He Livery nothing! He made his getaway In a slx-cyllnder. Judge. General Karon von Freytng-Loring-hoven, chief of the supplementary gen eral staff of the German army, has de clared that the general political and economic situation of the war works only In favor of the allies and that Germany's soldiers will be defrauded of the fruits of her victories. General Lorlnghoven believes trench warfare a great mistake and thinks that only an aggressive attack would have brought success. He adds, however, that the German offensive was not strong enough to overthrow the allies. He Is shown, at left in photograph, talking with a member of his staff. But One Ideal. Ideals of beauty differ where the body Is concerned. One person prefers blue eyes and another brown. "What a pretty girl Bessie Is," one will say, and another will answer: "Why, I never thought Bessie particularly pret ty, but her sister Mary " and so on. But when benuty of character Is con cerned, there Is no such disagreement. Everyone realizes that unselfishness is beautiful, and selfishness ugly, that kindness Is charming and hate hideous. There Is no danger of your becoming confused by a double standard. There Is but one Ideal for the beauty of the spirit. Girl's Companion. Hla Age. Allan, on his second birthday, was told by his mother that he was two years old. That same day bis mother weighed him, and as she lifted him off the scale, she said : "You weigh Just thirty pounds." , That evening, when the little boy's father came home, ho said : "Well, Allan, how old are you?" Allan hesitated a few seconds and then replied: "Two years and thirty pounds." . Mrs. J. Kendall, a prominent New York woman, In the garb she will wear In France, where she will direct a small army of chauffeurs engaged In transporting portable hangars to be used by American aviators In France. The work will be done under the su pervision of the National League for Women's Service. An Automatic Payteller. A machine that Indicates the amount due In every man's pay en velope the Instant It Is wanted Is among tho latest office devices. This machine, It Is said, gives the products of payrolls and distributes Job costs In far less time than the most ex pert clerk can deduct them by pencil and pad. A twist of the wrlrt gives the product of the most Involved pay roll fractions whatever the rate per hours or the hours worked may 5j. Perhaps most remarkable of all Is the fact that the machine does not com pute products; Instead, It has 18,8-10 computed products which cover all conventional payroll figures. The ma chine occupies little space and Is com pact and portable. Teaching by Example. An Item running the rounds states how tame elephants are used In India to capture wild ones. California has a "diving horse" that is used to encour age other horses to leap from a high platform Into a tank. The animals that are In training watch their "teach er" make several plunges from a plat form 80 feet high ; they are then made to leap from a platform 15 feet high ; after a few trials they seem to lose their fear and make the leap from dif ferent heights without hesitation. This all shows how things can be taught by example. President Wilson has received from the Humanitarian cult Its first annual medal, awarded to him by an open vote of the members of the cult as the "Humanitarian of tho year 1!)10." The medal was presented to the president by a committee headed by the cult's founder, Mlsha Appelbnum.

RETURNING FROM CAPTIVITV. I.KHSON TKXT-Krra I. GOLDKN TKXT Tlia Ird hath dona rrat ihliiKa Tor ua; whereof wa ara glad. -I'aalma l.'ii:3. Israel went Into captivity because of her sins. The time of her disciplinary process was about to end, ns Its pur pose was now accomplished : namely, the cure of Israel's Idolatry.. Kver since the Babylonian captivity the He brew people hayo been worshipers of the one God. Monotheism has stood forth ns a vital characteristic. The miiln reason for the Jews' maintenance of racial Identity In spite of their na tional dislocation and the breaking up of thrlr social ties, Is the unity of their faith, around the one God. I. The Proclamation of Cyrus (rr. 1-4). . (1) The Time of (v. 1). The first year of Cyrus; that Is the first year after his conquest of Babylon. CI) How It Was Brought About (v. 1). Tho Lord stirred up his spirit. The Lord often uses very unlikely agents In the accomplishment of his purposes. There Is nothing too hard for him. He can readily use a heathen king to accomplish his purpose. He can find a way of approach to any heart. Likely Itanlcl was the agent used to bring the matter to the king's attention. Daniel was still the Influ ential prime minister of Babylon. From his study of the prophecies of Jeremiah (Jer. 23:12 J Isa. 45:1; com pare Daniel 0:2), he knew that the time was near for tho return of the people to their own land, so he likely brought the matter to the attention of the king and persuaded him to thus favor his people. (3) Its Contents (vv. 2-4). (a) A confession of the true God (vv. 2. 3). He acknowledges him to be the God of heaven, the Most High, the Supreme God, n God of goodness. He declared, "He has given mo all the kingdoms of the earth," and that God had with au thority laid upon 111 in the charge of building htm a house at Jerusalem. (b) A Generous Permission to Israel (v. 3). All who desired to go up to Jerusalem and build the Lord's honso were permitted to go. He even com manded the blessing of the Lord to be upon them. (c) A Positive Co Operation (v. 4). None were obliged to go up, but a pos itive obligation was laid upon those w ho did not go up to render assistance to those who did. They were to aid In the building of the house of God by giving money, beasts and goods. It was more than a free-will offering, an obligation In addition thereto. The ob ligation wns even wider than the peo ple of Israel. The heather were asked to render aid. II. Response to the Proclamation of Cyrua (vv. 5,(1). x (1) By Israel (v. 5). Strange to say the decree of Cyrus was not met with great enthusiasm. Only a small num ber, chiefly from Judnh and Benjandn, returned (v. 6). For most of them It meant giving up business Interests, for they had settled down to tho regular callings of life. Besides tho sacri fice of business Interests It Involved great risks ns to- the future. The en tire company. Including servants, was about fifty thousand (2:(I4). Of this company we note tho following divi sions; first, chiefs of the fat hen of Judah and Benjamin, that is magis trates; second, prleRts and I.evltcs, leaders In religion; third, skillful ar tificers, head workmen. (2) By Their Neighbors (v. 0). This response was apparently more hearty than that of tho Jews themselves. . Their neighbors gave freely of gold, sil ver, beasts and goods. God had not only graciously disposed the heart of Cyrus toward his people, but they found peculiar favor from their neigh bors, so that their wants were abund antly supplied. III. Restoration of the Sacred Ves sels (vv. 7-11). These vessels had been carried away to Babylon mnny years before. Little did Nebuchadnezzar re alize that he would put Into safe keep- . Ing the vessels which would be needed nt this time. They were carefully num bered and turned over to the proper officers. Except for their desecration In Belshazzar's feast, they were none the worst for having been carried away. These were brought up to Jerusalem from Babylon. Stand by the Faith. Are we serving God nnd the church as well? Are we getting ready? Are we putting our whole trust and confi dence In the Lord? We must he care ful not to secularize thf church while we are trying to religionize tho world. One of tho chief dangers we of the clergy meet Is that while we try to win men, the men of the world may win us. We must, first of all, sub ordinate everything to building up tht Ideal of the Christ nnd his thurch. There Is no better wny to build up nnd to stand by faith. The Bishop of Col. orado. What We Are Here For. We are not put here Just to enjoy ourselves nnd do only what pleases us. God wauls ua to forget our own selves ; tliubls, not to think first nnd foremost of ourselves, but to be busy thinking what we can do for others, to help them, or to make them happy. And tho Bible tells us, you know, thnt "Christ pleased not himself." He never thought whnt wotad make him happiest or most comfortable, but what he could do for someono else. Kate S. Gates. Poverty. Poverty Is only contemptible when It Is felt to be so. Doubtless the best wny to make our poverty respectable !s to stem never to eel It as an evil. Bovee.
