official Washingbon will have some-
thing to do beside going to the ball
games after the glorius fourth is past
and gone. Congress will by that time
have got down to a hard grind again,
with the Senate ding-donging away ab
tariff bill and probably the House en-
grossed with the banking and currency
islation.
Ge is little attempt to conceal the
fact that Congresc does not relish the
task of revising the currency laws this
summer. Washington is not famed
for the salubrity of its summer climate.
A temperature of 100 degrees is not
uncommon here and the Congressmen
are not keen about remaining here
during the dog days, butif the country
expresses an anxiety that the financial
system of the country be reformed at
this session, Congress will bow to the
verdictiand buckle down to work.
SOCIOLOGICAL REFORMS.
It is interesting to see the White
Housefgiving inspiration to the work-
ers in the field of humanity. Both
the President and Mrs. Wilson are in-
terested not only in making Washing-
io a model city from an artistic stand-
point and inits system of government,
but in making it the best place in the
country for the people who ordinarily
enjoy but few of the advantages that
come g¥most unasked to the rich. By
personal Binyestigation Mrs. Wilson
has become§acquainted with the dis-
trossing conditions prevailing among
the many alley homes in Washington,
and itis directly through her benificent
interest that congressmen are asking
what they can do to improve the slums
and wipe out conditions which make
for disease andjerime. :
While Washington is studying this
question, it may be well to submit that
the San Diego Exposition there will be
a practicatillustraction in 1915 of what
a modelicity;should be. The buildings
now going up there will be permanent,
fireproof, sanitary structures em body-
ing the latest ideas and the most re-
cent improvements. :
The exposition itself will constitute
a model municipality,fso far as the
physical features of it are concerned,
} with a perfect water and sewerage
plant, complete lighting arrangement,
an emergencyfhospital which has for
months past fbeen at the service of
those building the exposition,anursery
for children, ress rooms for visitors,
amusements andfplay grounds, in short
everything that can be devised for
the wellfare, comfort and amusement
of the public. The whole will be set
in a set in a great garden with good
roads, smooth paths, and a surprising
profdion of flowers and ornamental
shrubs and tree bordering velvety
lawns. As a model city exhibit the
San Diego Exposition will be well
worth the consideration of all who are
interested in city planning and in the
elimination of slums from cities.

Treatment For Bee Diseases.
This is the time of the year when
many lettesr are reaching Prof. H. A.
Surface, State Zoologist, at Harris-
burg, from bee-keepers of Pennsyl-
vania, requesting aid in suppressing
the diseases of bees that are destroy-
ing over one million dollars worth of
preperty, and resulting in the loss of
production of about the same value of
property in the way of honey and wax
in this State.
A correspondent from Tunhannock
wrote to Dr. Surface that he had
sixty-four colonies of bees, some of
which were infested, and asked for
State inspection service and a means
of curing the disease. To this Prof.
Surface replied as follows:
«While “there is a law providing
for such service in this state, yet at
this time there has not been any
money appropriated to defray the
expenses of an inspector. I would
consider it a very important subject.
As president of the State Bee-keepers’
Association I have been looking after
this for some years and it seems to be
now in sight. As soon as this money
is available we can arrange to send
someone into your district.
It is not a difficult matter to clean
up the disease without losing the
brood if it is done with full care and
complete understanding of the subject.
One of the best means is to catch and
cage the queen; then shake the bees

AAA AA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNANS
LESSON FOR JUNE 29
THE VICTORIES OF FAITH.
READING LESSON—Acts 7:9-16;
Heb. 11:20-22.
GOLDEN TEXT—“This is the victory
jthat hath overcome the world, even our
{faith.” I John 5:4.
¢ The reading lessons for today are a
|New Testament commentary upon the
past quarter's work. The first lesson
‘is taken from that marvelous defense
ot Stephen the first martyr. As he
‘traces the history of the people of
Israel, he shows God's continued ac
‘tivities and purposes from the hour he
‘called Abraham until the holy one of
Israel came to fill to their fulness all
,of these same activities and purposes.
Stephen also shows us that alongside
iGod’s activities was the equally per:
,sistent disobedience of the people
(which culminated in the betrayal and
(murder of that holy one. In the por
‘tion selected he sef§ before us how
Joseph is sold into Egypt, yet God was
iwith him and delivered him: how the
famine came and Jacob is thereby
brought into Egypt only later to be
jcarried back into the land of promise.
{ Teach Faith,
i The second lesson is taken from
that great catalogue of heroes as re
jcorded In the Epistle to the Hebrews.
{Here we have set before us the fact
‘that God's eternal purpose with man
iis ever that of faith. Isaac, Jacob
‘and Joseph are here mentioned and
the faith of each set befcre us.
; Leaving out the Easter lesson we
‘have covered a period of about 50
'yeams, eight lessons dealing with Jo-
iseph, and four with Jacob.
Attention has been called to Jo
‘seph a8 ome of the most remarkable
{types of Christ to be found im the Old
| Testament (see comments oa lesson
;of April £7). ‘As we have alwe sug
‘gested Jasob is not so gremd a char
‘acter as Abwabam yet is mmeh more
‘like the average MAD.
: It ie interesting to go over these
lessoms and follow God's pumpeses and
ito observe how like Christ Jesaph was.
: In LBSSON L we behold Jaseb at the
instigation of his mother deestvimg his
;poor old father and being esmpelled
‘to fiy thet be might save his life. Re
‘bekah thomght she could exeeubde God's
‘purpases; but i is never wight do do
‘evil that good may result,
In I1MSSONX IL. Jehovah appeared be:
fore this comscience smitten refugee
‘and again promised tha. the Mmmsing,
yes, his own divine purpose, would
'be worked ont in Jacob's life.
2 lesson on the grace of God.
LESSON IIL sets Jacob before us
after twematyone years’ servies and
Sepevatien from his beother MHeseu
This ia a great lesson on Ged's desire
‘and traneforming power. He trans
‘forms Jacob to Israel a “primes” and
‘softened the héart of FMeem. Faith
‘overcame and is strengthemed and
confirmed.
-
In LESSON IV, we first behold Jo
‘seph particularly loved and favored
and as bitterly hated; he was thrown
into a pit to die but is taken ur
(typical of the resurrection) and sold
into slavery. The development of en:
vy and the persistent, delivering pur
‘pose of God are here presented in
strong contrast. :
LESSON V. shows Joseph's enter
ing that dark maze beyond whieh God
was to highly exalt him. By faith he
overcame that fierce temptation and
his treatment of his fellow prisoner
‘was God's useful agency theugh it
seemed accidental and insignificant.
’ God’s Continued Purpeee.
LESSON VI. is the completion of
Lesson V. and in it we see Jeseph
seated in the place of power, able tc
save the country and also his breth:
ren.
LESSON VIL shows us God's con:
tinued purpose and the beglmming of
the fulfillment of his word thes the
descendants of Abraham were to
dwell in captivity (Gen. 15:18).
LESSON VIIL is a contimmmtiem of
Joseph’s dealings with his brothers in
which their guilty consciences are
still further pricked and God reveals
to us his immutable purpose.
LESSON IX. is a tender one of the
meeting of Joseph and Benjmeadm while
‘at the same time it suggests te us the
‘certainty of the fact that we mmy “be
sure your sin will find you out.” Un:
"less covered by his forgiving blood our
sin is mercilessly upon our tems.
In LESSON X. we behold Joseph
‘made known to his brethren and those
dn fear are urged to draw near. Jo
,seph’s faith in God saved him from ar-
‘rogance and retaliation and Inclined
‘his heart to tenderness and love in Ris
‘dealings with his brothers. Mven as
Joseph revealed himself to his broth-
ers so will Christ reveal himself,

“Ive had my Studebaker

A word of just praise for a wagon that has
done its work faithfully and well.
Men become attached to their Studebakers
- Because they realize that a Studebaker is
built on honor and with an experience in wagon
building that dates back to 1852.
Studebaker wagons are a result of that long
experience, coupled with a desire to build the
best wagons, not cheap ones.
And when your dealer says "Buy a Studebaker
—there’s no better wagon made" he’s giving you
the verdict of a miilion farmers.
