Senator Kenyon stirred the senate
to a high pitch of hunger the other
day. He was talking about child labor.
In the course of his talk he
J drew a picture of a fnrmer's boy sitting
down to on old-fashioned country
dinner. j
The senrtor was contrasting the
life of the factory hoy and the farm
boy. He said that while the farm boy
worked in the llelds, rested at noon by
turning the grindstone, milked the
cows and so on, still he went swimming
and fishing, saw the circus, and
h?d a pretty good time.
"I have a very distinct recollection
that as a hoy on a farm I had to
pitch the bundles to the threshing
machine," said he. "I used to think
that was about the hardest work that j
could possibly be done In tlie world. '
"But when you remember the
farmer's dinner?the fried chicken and |
mashed potatoes, and gravy, and corn
on the cob, and tomatoes, and the bread
mouth, and the apple pie with a piece o
and llo under a tree?it was not so bad,
At this point there was a general r
of orders for fried chicken.

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 10
THE ARREST OF PAUL.
1 LESSON TEXT-Acts 21:17-40.
! GOLDEN TEXT-Thou shait be a witj
nous for him unto all men of what thou
hant seen and heard.?Acta 22:15.
No study of the book of Acts la
complete unless tile teacher I mnrimina
! upon his pupils the opportunities for
living the Christian life in the normul
environment of the home or school,
nt work or play. Deep Interest attaches
to every detail leading up to
; Paul's visit to Rome. Therefore let
the teacher trace Paul's Journey from
Mlleta to Jerusalem, which occupied
l about four weeks, and took place In
! the curly part of the year A. D. 57.
I. The Arrival (vv 17-20). The Spirit
i revealed to the disciples and to prophets
that If Paul went to this city he
would be in grout danger, and the
Spirit was not forbidding hut only
teaching him for he knew Paul had
n great work to do In Jerusalem, nnd
I that he only could do It. Everywhere
Paul went he "searched for" (v. 7)
* disciples, with whom he tarried and
j whom he enlightened In the way of
truth. Arriving In Jerusalem, he appears
to have made his home with
Mnnson, outside of the crowded city,
thus being less exposed to danger nnd
1 finding a place of rest. At a public
' reception (v. 18) Paul reports of his
work, nnd no doubt he laid his strongI
est emphasis on what Cod had
I wrought through him, among the
churches of Asia. The lenders of the
I Jerusalem church received the gifts
! Paul brought from the Ccntlle
1 churches, glorified Cod for what ho
had accomplished, hut saw clearly
that, to accomplish his statesmanlike
' purpose, something must he done to
| make clear that the false reports as
i to Paul's teaching were discredited
; (vv. 20-22). They therefore resorted
to diplomacy (vv. 23 20). To the
many thousands of Jews gathered on
this festival occasion in the city,
some of whom were zealous for the
law, they declared first that Paul
I taught till the .Tews which were among
, the Centlles not to forsake Moses;
second, that he had not taught them
not to walk after the customs of
Moses. The facts were Pa til obeyed
j the Jewish ceremonial laws personally,
as u matter of race, not as a
condition of salvation.
II. The Arrest (vv. 27-30). Paul's
attempt at conciliation resulted not
In peace but in more discord. Every
true servant of God is sure to he misrepresented,
and It will not do always
to attempt to set straight all the lies
that are told about him. God will*
take enre of the lies and of our reputations.
Most of the charges that
| men, even Christians, bring against
| one another are based upon "sup:
position" (v. 20). It was not a new
experience for Paul to l?e mobbed. As
the maddened Jews dragged him out
of the temple he must have recalled
the treatment of Stephen in which he,
himself, had had n hand (7:57, 58).
Flow frequent It Is that we. ourselves,
are in duo (Imn i.. ? ?
I way In which wo have treated others
| (Onl. 0:7). It was the Intention of
1' the Jews to kill Paul at once without
a ttinl (20:0. 10). They fancied they
were doing (lod's service (John 10:2).
This lesson Is a striking example of
the utter folly and wickedness of mob
law. Paul's time had not yet come,
and all the mobs on earth could not
I kill him until (led permitted it.
III. The Arraignment (w. S7-10).
| Tidings of the riot came to the chief
; captain, equivalent to our colonel
| (Acts 20:20). Paul was hound with
; two chains, one from each of his arms
I to a soldier, secured, yet left free to
j walk with his gunrds, thus fulfilling
1 the prophecy of Aenbus (v. 21). Mobs
j usually have great respect for soldiers,
for they are Inwardly cowardly,
No sooner was Paul on the stairs
which led to the top of the fortress
thnn the mob. afraid that they were
about to he balked of their vengeance,
made a mad rush at him, with cries
of "Kill him; kill him!" and Paul.,
nnahle In his fettered condition to
Rtendy himself, was carried off his
feet and hurried off In the same path
his Master had trod (John 10:15)
and he was again to henr that cry.
(Ch. 22:22). During all this tumult
Paul had but one thought, how he
i might witness for his Master, and
I bring some of his blinded accusers to
| a saving knowledge of Christ. Thus
I It was that ho nskod for tho privilege
, of speaking, and most courteously did
he make his request. Tie spoke to
the captain In the Creek tongue, not
In Hebrew, and great was the surprise 1
of the captain.
Practical Application. Whfvi we are
attacked, no matter for what cause. If
we confidently look for deliverance
nnd exercise self-control, Ood will
take care of ns.
Such conduct Is disconcerting to our
enemies.
Diplomacy Is often dangerous nnd
misunderstood.
Circumstantial evidence In never of
great value.
There Is, however, a desirable form
of diplomacy as when Paul addressed
the soldiers In his native tongue.
Paul's principle was In essentials,
firmness; In non-easentlals, liberty

IRON POSTS SUPPORT WIRE
German Idea That Makes Their
Trenches Only a Little Way From
Being Impregnable.
In the Atlantic Monthly Mr. Edward
Morlne describes u very clever Improvement
the Germans have made In
their bnrbed-wlre defenses. The
wires are usually fastened to wooden
posts, of course, but the Germans have
found a better support for them, lie
writes:
"After we bad taken the German
, trench, our men set to work to remodel
It, shifting the parapet to the other
side, building little outpost trenches
and setting barbed wire. The latter
i job was done in a wonderfully short
time, thanks to German thoroughness.
For the wooden stakes to which the
wire Is tied they bad substituted soft
Iron rods, three-quarters of an Inch
thick, twisted live times in the shape
of a great corkscrew. This screw twisted
Into the ground exactly like a corkpuller
into a cork. The straight part
of the rod, being twisted upon itself
down and up again every ten inches,
formed six or seven small loops In a
height of about live feet. Into these
eyes the barbed wire was laid and
solidly secured with short lengths of
tying wire,
i 'First cutting the tying wire, we lifted
the barbed Wire out of the eyes,
i shoved n small stick through one, utul,
' turning the roil with the leverage of
the stick, usncrewed It out of the
i ground, and then, reversing the proc|
ess. screwed it In again. The advantage
of this rod Is obvious. When 11
! shell falls in the midst of tills wire
j protection, the rods are bent and twlst!
ed, but unless broken off short they
. always support the wire, aud even
j after a severe bombardment present a
: serious obstacle to the assaulters. In
| such case wooden posts are blown to
> smithereens by the shells, and when
broken off they let the wire fall tint
to the ground."
Restful.
"That hired man of yours is a very
picturesque figure," remarked the artist.
"I'd like to paint him."
"Go 07. fur ez you like," replied the
farmer, "but it seems to me I've heard
somewheres thet they ain't much of
anv market fur still life pictures."

"Saved Daylight" 40 Years.
Monson. in Maine, wonders why
there is so tnue)i ado about the "daylight
saving" plan. According to the
Youth's Companion, about 40 years ago
someone in the town suggested that It
would be a good thing for the workers
in the slate quarries to gain an
hour of daylight by going to work an
hour earlier in the morning and stopping
work an hour earlier at night.
The town adopted the suggestion, hut
instead of changing the working hours
it set the eloeks ahead. Through all
the years since then the clocks of
Monson have been an hour ahead of
the clocks in other Maine towns.
