Lesson XIII. Fourth Quarter,
For Dec. 28, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Quarterly Roview,
Read Josh, xxiv Golden Text, John
iii, 16 Commentary by Rev. D. M.
Stearns.
Lesson I. Moses' Cry For Help,
Num. xl, 10-18, 24. 25. Golden Text.
Jns. v, 10, "The supplication of a
righteous man nvnlleth much in Its
working." The continual complaining
of this rebellious people was enough to
wear any one out and led Moses to
say, "It Is too heavy for me," but he
always took everything to the Lord In
prayer. This was one of the occa
sions when he felt unnecessarily bur
dened, as If he had to do It.
Lesson II. Jealousy and Envy Pun
ished, Num. xll. Golden Text, I Cor.
sill, 4, C, "Love envleth not; love vaunt
eth not Itself, Is not puffed up, doth not
behave Itself unseemly." The devil is
ever at work in the world and in the
church, but It is sad Indeed when ho
Is allowed to enter a Christian house
hold. It should bo said of Christians,
"See how these believers love one an
other." Lesson III. The Report of the Spies,
Num. xIII, 1-3, 25-33. Golden Text.
Iiom, vlil, 31, "If God Is for us, who Is
ngalnst us?" To inquire If what God
says is true or to question if He Is
able to do as no has said Is indeed
bad business. The shepherds did bet
ter who said, "Let us go and see this
thing which has come to pass" (Luke II,
15). When the Lord is as real to us
as lie was to Caleb and Joshua wo will
not consider giant difficulties of any
kind.
Lesson IV. The Sin of Moses and
Aaron. Num. xx, 1-13. Golden Text,
Ps. xlx, 14, "Let the words of my
mouth and the meditation of my heart
.be acceptable In thy sight, O Jehovah,
my Rock and my Redeemer." The fail
ure of Moses on the line of meekness
after forty years of victory and inter
cession for such a people should hum
ble us all In the dust before God and
load us never for one moment to trust
ourselves In any way.
Lesson V. Balak and Balaam, Num.
xxll, 2-0; xxiv. 10-19. Golden Text,
Jas. I, S, "A double minded man, un
stable in all his ways." Every phase
of human nature Is sot before us In
Scripture, but Balaam Is one of the
strangest, ready to do anything for
money, oven to curse the people of
God, nnd yet afraid to go against God
and ready to speak Ills messages, yet
a leader of the Lord's people Into sin
ful ways (Rev. 11, 14).
Lesson VI. Abstinence For the Sake
of Others, Rom. xiv, 7-21. Golden Text,
Rom. xiv, 21, "It is good not to eat
flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do any
thing whereby thy brother stumbleth."
As the Lord Jesus Christ Is our only
Saviour, Ho should be our only exam
ple, and Ills npproval our only aim.
Lesson VII. The Death of Moses.
Dcut. xxxlv, 1-12. Golden Text, I's.
cxvl, 15, 'Troclous in the sight of Je
hovah Is the death of Ills saints." In
some respects the most remarkable
death and burial on record, as his was
also In somo respects the most remark
nble life over lived. No other man who
died and was burled was ever seen on
earth hundreds of years later and rec
ognized by mortals.
Lesson VIII. Joshua the New
Leader. Josh. 1, 1-9. Golden Text,
Josh, i, 9 "Bo strong and of good
courage." Remember the ten times
this exhortation Is found (see notes on
this lesson) nnd associate 'with it the
live "Bo of good cheers" of the Lord
Jesus (Matt. lx. 2, 22; xiv, 27; John
xvl, 33; Acts xxlll, 11). Make much of
the assurance "I will be with thee; I
will not fall thee" (verse 5), nnd the
"Be not afraid of of verso 0.
Lesson IX. Crossing the Jordan,
Josh, ill, 7-17. Golden Text, Isa. xll.
10, "Fear thou not, for I nm with thee."
Remember the faith of Rahab and the
story of the scarlet line; also the prom
inent place of the ark of the covenant
In chapters 111 and lv. See the object
In dividing the Red sea nnd the Jor
dan, that the name of the Lord might
ho magnified and that all the penplo of
the earth might know the hand of tho
Lord (Isa. Ixll I. 12-14; Josh, lv, 24).
Lesson X. The Fall of Jericho, Josh,
vl. 8-11, 14-20. Golden Text, Mark
Ix, 23, "All things nro possible to him
that believeth." Note again the promi
nence of tho nrk of tho covenant nnd
the only sound heard, that of the trum
pets of rams' horns. All victory Is In
tho name of the Lord Jesus and by
virtue of His precious blood. Before
Him all Jcrichos fall, all difficulties
vanish.
Lesson XI. Tho Sin of Achan, Josh,
vll, (1-15. Golden Text, Num. xxxll,
23, "Bo sure your sin will find you
out." Wo are assured of victory and of
being nblo to say, "Thanks bo unto
God, who nlways causeth us to tri
umph in Christ" (II Cor. 11, 14), but It
Is on condition of obedlenco nnd of
Pleasing, and not grieving tho noly'
Spirit.
Lesson XII. Tho Word Mado
Mesh, John 1, 1-18. Golden Text, John
I. 1 1. "And tho word became flesh nnd
dwelt among us." Tho same ono who
crenled heaven nnd earth nnd talked
with Adam nnd Eve, with Enoch,
Noah, Abraham, Isnnc, Jncob, Moses
and Joshua, becamo one of us, sin ex
cepted, by being born of Mary, no was
unknown on earth' except by a few, no
Is very little known now, but to all
who receive Him Tie gives tho privi
lege of becoming children of God.

DIARY FOR CHRISTMAS GIFT
Peculiar but Pleasing. Remembranco
Showing Absent Friend Was In
Mind of Donor.
On Thanksgiving day a man sat
down and began to write to a distant
friend. But ho wrote only a few
lines, and laid it aside. The next day
ho took up tho pen, put down tho new
date, dlary-fashlon, and .wrote somo
item of news of Interest to them
both.
So each day from Thanksgiving till
Christmas he added som'ethlng to tho
letter, as he would in a diary, end
ing and mailing it just in tlmo to
reach his friend on Christmas morn
ing. At tho top he had written this
message:
"This is all the gift you got from
me this year; but It carries more
thought of you and more lovo, I Imag
ine, than do somo moro costly ones
I am sending. But just put it In your
pocket for a dull January day. It will
keep."

Exploiting One's Own Vanity In Be
stowal of Gifts Is Poor
Policy.
The most miserable Christmas pres
ent, the kind that no human being Is
rich enough to afford, is that which
is bought to make a show, to exploit
one's own vanity.
When you are tempted to buy a
"show off" present, romember that the
recipient has some rights. One who
understands will bo made unhappy
by that kind of gift. You know your
self that when you receive a pres
ont that represents a great sacrifice
on the part of tho giver It makes
you feel miserable, even when the
right spirit is behind It.
The cost in money is about the
poorest of measures for any kind of
a gilt. The thoughtfulnes in it, the
recognition of a desire for things un
asked for, tho affection that goes with
it, countB for much more. Every
Christmas each of us receives a mes'
sago that means more than the most
expensive gift. Yet we forget that
sometimes in the perplexing selection
of presents for others. Woman's
Home Companion.
Hancock Lumberman Experiences
Exciting Ride.
James Maddsley, aged 40 years, a
lumber man, residing at Hancock,
was seriously Injured on Wednesday
afternoon while riding on the steps
of a passenger coach of O. & W.
train No. 3, while the train was pass
ing through the Cadosla tunnel.
According to the story -which
Maddsley told after he was injured,
he had been at Fish's Eddy spending
the day, intending to return to Han
cock on train 3. When he reached
the station at Fish's Eddy, the train
was pulling out, and the vestibule
doors were closed. Thinking he
could attract the attention of the.
conductor or a trainman, he grasped
the handles, and swung on tho low
er step, hanging outsldo the doors.
He was unable to attract the at
tention of anyone, however, and
when the train entered the Cadosla
tunnel, after carrying him a distance
of about five miles, he was struck by
the side of the tunnel and swept to
the ground. Luckily he fell along
side the track, and not under the
cars.
The Injured man was found short
ly after tho train passed by the
'ker, and was taken to Han
cock, where he was attended by Dr.
John H. Atchinson. Here It was
found that several ribs were broken,
and he probably received Internal in
juries. Port Jervis Gazette.
Wedding Ring Lost Thirty Years Re
covered.
Mrs. Maurie Coleman has been
fortunate enough to recover her wed
ding ring, which was lost about
twenty-nlno years ago, when Mrs.
Coleman was living at Mongaup, N.
Y. The ring was returned to Mrs.
Coleman by a woman who found it
while grading the yards around her
new home. Port Jervis Gazette.
Taylor Boosts Pay of Its Burgess
The Taylor council discovered a
new wrinkle In the law recently, and
at a recent meeting boosted the sal
ary of the burgess $300. According
to the statement made at the coun
cil meeting a law passed by the leg
islature some years ago fixes the sal
ary of burgesses at $100 for every
l.ouo or population un to 5uuU and
$50 for every 1000 after that. This
would allow the borough council to
fix the salary of the burgess at $750
per annum, and this action was tak
en. The office at present pays $500
per year, but the Incoming burgess.
James Morris, will benefit by the
move.
The O. & W. company has com
menced the construction of a large
ice house in Walton and expect to
begin the construction of another
smaller one beside their track in
Delhi in a few days. With this ice
house tho company expects to make
Walton a general Icing noint for fruit
and other produce cars, and for such
milk cars as are not already iced
through when they reach this place.
Justice Carpenter of Hancock, has
tho distinction of breaking all the
local speed records in marrying a
pair of youthful lovers. They came
to his office, announced their ,pur
pose, and he asked the man if he
wanted to marry the woman and the
woman if she wanted to marry tho
man. They 'both Teplled In the af-
nrmativo and the justice then said:
uy the law of the great State of
New York I pronounce you man and
wife. You're hitched. Excuse me,
i vo got to eaten a train." And he
Immediately flitted away. Liberty
