C.—Adv. lie wouldn't study, and lie wouldn’t v lied his knee pants, anil le- hated girls, .When he wasn’t running 'copy he sU-staed in the nearest swivel chair with any old thriller lie could find around. For variety his fancy ex pressed itself prodigally-iu forages into paper bags of lunches thAt bore the trade-mark of mother and home. And he alisolutely scorned clean fingernails. They were “sissy." The men to whom he was appor tioned were addicted to fatherly warn ings as to what happens to office boys who do not study to become editors—but the boy scorned editors. His ambi tion— lifs one great ambition—had been to climb a ladder and chalk oil' base ball scores, until the electric boards came along, and aft.-t that he settled on n future of sightseeing ears so that lie colild talk through a megaphone. But, alas for well-laid plans! One day u messenger higher up dropped out anil the hoy stepped Into duties that allowed les-s time for thrillers and eats—hut, at that, he didn’t study, his prime Idea being that u fellow . <>uld learn thifigs outside of books—which, Incidentally, some mighty wise men have said before hiiim - ■ , Each admonitory pill was swallowed with gay unconcern, until one, day the hoy failed to show up. Another hoy filed in. and that was all there was to It until, not so long ago, they came across his name in print—in the roll of honor, along with those of others who fell on that day which history lia-h already christened “the glorious 18th of July.” Father Time, >»y some Inscrutable alchemy, had changed'the hoy into a man and taught him the greatest of all lessons from the Greatest of all Books: “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life fir a friend."

ADDITIONAL N^T.ly^Al Reties is 37: I. Joseph the Wefl-Reloved Son (37 rl-4). Joseph was Jacob’s favorite son. 'This was due partly to the fact that he was the son of the wife of his first love and the son of" hbs old age, but inainly because of the superior qual ities .which Joseph possessed. This favoritism expressed itself in a su perior position unit more respectable clothes. That Jacob should feel pur- ■ tial toward Joseph, perhaps, was un avoidable, but that 1m should manifest it was extremely unwise. Serious trouble will always result from jAir- liality Jbeing shown toward children. His brethren’s ihtetfse hatred burat forth -upon him. This Reeling was in tensified by his pure life and by his testimony among W:ein because of their evil -dt-cils. Joslah is a type of Christ. He was living in fellowship with l.is father at Hebron (37:14); Christ was with the Father he- idrf* coming Into the world (John 1C.:JS) : Joseph was the beloved son (<iluois 37:3); Christ was the be- lo\ed Son of God (Matthew 3:17); Jo seph was hated by his brethren (Gene sis 37:4); Christ \v;>s hated by his brethren (John 13:34); Joseph wap o rivled by his brethren (Genesis 37 :11 > ; Christ was delivered up through envy (Mark 1" :i0).

The sun und luootn us rightly interpreted »by- his fu- fher, represented his lather and moth er as rendering obeisance to him. III. Joseph Sent by Hi* Father on a Mifsion of Mercy to HI* Brethren (vv. KM7). Ills brethren hud gone to Shechem. about fifty miles distunt from Hebron, where was abundance of pusture for tb«-tr- tlovks. Jacob became' anxious us to. their welfare, und sent Joseph, a young man.now seventeen years old, to find out their condition.

I'aul was a !>nor man, and yet he had learned the secret of making many rich, even in his poverty. So can you learn,the same secret if you will. Rvrad over that verse again In II Cor. 9:8, w hich s »ys, “God is able'to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, al- thays having nil sufficiency in all things, may abound uuto every good fci.rk." SUeh was this gmrr Hmt tmt of their deep poverty they raised a contribution so Iargi».*ns to be noted through all the region round about. When, then, God cabs upon us to ex- ercise the of liberality, let its not excuse ourselves because we have nAt Uie means, liut remembering his prom-. i*<e, ask him to supply the means, tjhat we" may “abound in this grace also."

There are certain things, however, which even the poorest of us cun do to help fill the Lord’s treasuryand these require neither time nor money in large quantities, but 'thoughtful minds und loving heurts. In the first place, we can make our selves Intelligent. Study the mission ary movements of the day, the wants and woes of the heathen world, the Macedonian calls for help.
