COMMAND FOR SERVICE TO AIL OF US

The Prophet Isaiah Tells of the Coming
of the Savior and of a Time
When AM the World'Shall Dwell irt
Peace and Love?Jesus Gives Final
. . instructions Before Going to Heaven.
(By the Teacher.)
My Friends:
- . Last Sunday the subject of our study
was "Making tl?e Nation Christian."
For the coming Sunday we study the
' 1- problem of. "Making , the World Christian."
The latter is easy if we can
bring about the former. The United
States is the greatest nation on the
face of the earth today. We've got
more money, more ability, more material,
more knowledge and more initiative
than any. of the others. I firmly
believe that. And I believe and I think
you'll agree with me, that if the United
States can be made a Christian nation,
the other nations of the world can easily
be swung into the Christian column
within a short time afterward.
No Christian Nation.
In Sunday school last'Sunday I heard
a class lecturer./ryhft is a careful Bible
student,, a man of good judgment and
one who ''doesn't-.'make . statements
without thoroughly ~ weighing those
statements beforehand. -say that while
this government under."'which we live
is not 'a Chritjtlati government, at the
same time the people of the United
States come, nearer-being a Christian
people than do-the; people of any other
nation on Gcfd's^Wv'.th.' He went on to
say further -thaj^Sfrrlstianity in the
United States.-vftis 'growing by leaps
and, bounds. ' ",v
We all hope that It is true and per
sonally, I believe that dt is. The moment
the United States Is thoroughly
Christianized almost every man anu
woman will automatically become a
missionary and then all will be enthusiastic
in the work of going after the
rest of the woi^d ftwd spreading the
Word to every creature.
The Scripture Lesson.
Let us read the Scripture lesson for!
Sunday as It is found In Isa. 11:1-10;
ActB 1:6-9:
1. And there shall come forth a rod
out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch
shall grow out of his roots:
2. And the spirit of the Lord shall
rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom
and understanding,.the spirit of counsel
and might, the spirit of knowledge
and of the feaj* of the Lord.
3. And shall make U.lm of quick understanding
In the fear of the Lord.:
and he shall not judge after the sight
of "his-eyes, nellS^i' re'b'i'bve after the
hearing of his ears. *
4.. But with righteousness shall he
judge the poor, and-reprove with equity
for the meek of .the earth; and he shall
smite the earth with the rod of his
mouth, and with the breath of his lips
shall he slay the wicked.
. 5.- And righteousness shall be the
girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the
giraie ul jus icuu.
C. The wolf "also "shall dwell with I
the lamb, and, the leopard shall lie
down with the kid; and the calf and
the young lion and the fatling together;
and, a little child shall lead them.
7. And the C9W and the bear shall
feed; their young ones shall lie down
together; and the lion shall eat straw
like the ox.
8. And the sucking child shall play
on the hole of the asp, and,, the weaned
child shall put bis hand on the cocatrice
den.
9. They shall not hurt nor destroy
In all my holy mountain: for the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of the
Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
10. And in that day there shall be a
root of Jense, which shall stand for an
ensign of the people; to it shall the
Gentiles seek; and his' rest shall 'be
glorious. ;
C. "When they therefore were come
together, they asked of him, saying,
Lord, wilt thou, at this time restore
again the kingdom of Israel?
7. And he said, unto them. It is not
for you to know the times or the seasons,
which the Father hath put in his
own power.
8. But ye shall receive power, after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto mc both
in Jerusalem, and in Judeu, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of
the earth.
9. And when he had spoken these
things, while they beheld, he was taken
up; and, a cloud received him out of
their sight.
Isaiah, who prophesied of the coming
of Christ, must have been a wonderful
preacher in addition to being a
marvelous prophet. He was the son of
Amos, and he prophesied in Judah
during the reigns of TJzziah, Jotham.
Ahaz and Hezekiah. He prophesied
for about sixty years. Incidentally it
is of interest to know that more wonderful
and powerful sermons have been
preached by ministers since his time
from the book of Isaiah than from any
other books in the Bible perhaps.
Foretells Peace of the World.
In this country, my friends, we have
just been through a great national political
campaign in which a proposition
to organize "the .countries of the world
into a league of nations has been onp
of the principal issues. 'Brainy men
have advocated such a league. Others
nf vivsion
equally as great unu. u?
have opposed It. So far the United
States, which, as I said a moment ago,
is the greatest nation on earth, has refused
to enter into any sueh covenant.
In the Scripture lesson for Sunday
we note that Isaiah predicted a league
of nations?a United Kingdom with
Jesus Christ as King and with the holy
Word of God as the armament for all
mankind. The league whose coming
this great Jewish prophet has told
about is a league built upon love of
one man for another. It is the only
kind, of a league that will stand. The
league of nations now under discussion
in the world would be maintained
by joint agreement of all the Powers
to unite in putting down by force any
nation that might become unruly.
That kind of proposition will work on
size. In this country or sweeping wmus
and constantly shifting sands it docs
not take long for ruins to be filled until
sometimes nothing but mounds remain.
These mounds become covered with
vegetation, and sometimes large cotton
wood trees grow on them. Work of
exploration here, similar to that carried
on in Mesa Verde national park,
undoubtedly will prove well worth
while. Ruins can be plainly traced in
the sand as the bottom of Whit^ canyon,
near the Caroline bridge and at
other places.
Clews In Pottery.
The smallest of the three "group"
bridges is the Edwin, which is 104 feet
hlKh, with a span of 104 feet, and 10
feet thick at the top of the arch. It is
posukin to that discovered in Pueblo
ruins further south. The same symbolic
figures, notably the Awanyu,
which is something akin to the skastika,
are to be found in these Utah
ruins, showing that the cliff dweller
people here were related to those in
southwestern Colorado, northeastern
Arizona and northwestern New Mexico.
New 1 oric xriDune.
The Rainbow bridge is the largest of
all natural arches yet discovered, and
Is only four miles from the summit of
Navajo mountains, from which the
bridge appears as the tiniest of arches
in a wilderness of rock. It was not discovered
until 1909. It is 309 feet high
with a span of 278 feet.
The "sroup" bridges in Utah have
been set aside by the government. The
Caroline bridge is about three miles
from Edwin. It is a wonderfully symmetrical
bridge of pinkish sandstone.
The tremendous thickness of the stone
above the arch rather dwarfs the arch
Itself. Its dimensions: Height 205 feet;
thickness at top of arch, 107 feet; span,
18C feet.
The Augusta Bridge.
The Augusta, which is about two
miles from the Caroline, and which
also spans the White canyon, is of
light-colored sandstone, against contrast.
It is 222 feet high, and its span
is 261 feet.
It is evident that cliff dwellers lived
in considerable numbers near the natural
bridge group. There are ruins
near each of the bridges.
These cliff ruins are of considerable
our daily lives. The need at home is
about as great as It Is anywhere else.
Speak a word for Jesus wherever you
have tho opportunity. Give of your
means to promote the story of the Savior's
love whenever the opportunity
presents. Help those who are in need.
Live as much like th^.ChrJst as it is
possible for you to live. '
Thus you will help make the nation
Christian arid you may be assured that
whenever the nation is made Christian,
it will not be long until the world is
made Christian.
I thank you.
NATURE BUILDS BRIDGE8.
Utah Has Three Great Natural Structures.
Among the canyons of southeastern
Utah are three great natural bridges,
forming the only group of the kind in
the world, unless more are to be found
some day in this same vast, mysterious
Colorado river plateau, which is con-;
stantly yielding new surprise to ex-'
plorers, writes Arthur Chapman in the j
ly until superceded by some stronger
combination.All
Will Love God.
Isaiah tells of a time when the lion
and the lamb, the fiercest and gentlest
of all beasts shall lie down together.
He forecasts the time when all men
shall love all other men and when their
greatest ambition shall be in worshipping
and honoring the Lord, their God.
He does not say in his prophecy just
when these things shall come about.
Indeed he explains, "'It is hot for you
to Khow-the times "or the seasons,
which the'Fathei^hath' put in his own
power." , :
But, I wonder, my friends, if you can
see any indications of the approach of
that time when all men shall come to
know and all men shall bear testimony
of'him? '*
Sometimes-I think that I can and
then >' again When all is -blue and dark
and melancholy, when it appears that
hell is reigning supreme, why it seems
tnat mere is no sign.
Then the sun shines again and the
heavy clouds of darkness are moved,
and the very birds as they sing in the
tree tops seem to say: "Jesus is alive.
All is well In his world."
In the few verses from Acts which
we study for Sunday we are privileged
to be with Jesus for a. short time before
he ascends into Heaven in order
to take his place at the right hand of
the throne of his Father.
Christ Gives Final Command.
He had appeared to his disciples and
to the public several times since he
was crucified and raised from the dead,
you remember. Now he is ready to
take leave of the world for which he
had died to save.
He bids his disciples and. followers to
be of ? good cheer. He tells them to be
brave in the missionary work of felling
all men about him, and of enlisting
men of every nation under hi^ banner.
Hear his words again: "But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy
Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall
be witnesses unto me both in.?Jerusnlem',
and in Judea, and in Samaria, and
unto the uttermost part of the earth."
And now this thought, in conclusion,
my friends: The call that came to the
few that day Just before a cloud took
him up into heaven comes to you and
me today.
Today's Call for Service.
All of us can't go to China and Japan
and India and Africa and to the
uttermost parts of the earth.
All of us are not fitted for that work
and It Is better that we stay here.
But we can all be missionaries in
CITIZENS TRAINED IN ARMS
War Department Offers Citizens Military
Training.

> ,-t : v : ?Boys
and Young Men Between 16 and
35 May Apply?Fin? Chance for
Physical Development.
By Frederick J. Haskin.
Washington, June 9.?Those on both
sides of the present heated debate as
to whether the United States should
have a large armament, or a small one,
will-presumably agree that the war
department Is doing a good, thing in
offering to American citizens this summer
military training at government
expense without any obligation to
serve in the army.
Those who -believe * that America
should be prepared must surely rejoice
at this project to train 10,000 young
I men in arms. At the same time, it has
been said many times that if a nation
has a citizenry trained in arms, there
is little need for a standing army. If
there were half a million men In this
country who were trained as soldiers,
the argument of those who favor a
large standing army would be considerably
weakened. And since the taking
of this training is a purely-volun
tary matter, and since it carries no ouligation
to serve, there is nothing- autocratic
or militaristic about "it, its advocates
point out. Besides this, it
means a physical examination and excellent
physical training for the men
who take it.
Although the number of applications
already on file exceeds the number of
men that can be accommodated this
summer, the war department 'wants
more applications. This is for two reasons.
In the first place, the men sent
to the camps are to be chosen in fixed
quota from various vocational classes,
so that it may not be possible to use all
of the present applicants. Besides this
the war department hopes to increase
the size of the camps and wants a long
list of applicants from which to draw
in future years, and probably as evidence
to show congress the popular
demand for this training. So if you
are interested, send jn your application.
Eligibility.
This offer applies to all boys and
young men between the ages of 16 and
35 years, at the civilian training camps
which are to ?e openeu in unuy
areas all over the country. There Is
no string attached, requiring entrants
to serve any period of time in the
United States army. All those who
take this training and prove capable
at it, will gain a degree of Eligibility
for commissions in the army if they
leven do desire to enter the military
service at a later date.
The plans now being formulated for
| such camp,s contemplate a .month of
I training for 10,800 young American citizens.
It is hoped that these camps
may prove satisfactory enough for arrangements
to be made on a larger
scale in the future. Lieutenant Colonel
Totten, who is in charge of this
work, says that approximately 15,000
applications have already been filed. It
is planned to have from 1,200 to 1,500
boys in the camp of each corps area.
The quota will be filled with the greatest
care possible to give boys from all I
walks of life a chance.
In order to be eligible, the applicant
must, in addition to being within the
required age limit, be an American citizen,
or at least have taken out first
naturalization papers; be physically
'fit, though no rigid specifications will
be necessary; must take the regular
anti-typhoid prophylaxis and be vacCord

merits. The camps will be fitted out
with attractive hostess houses, as are
the regular army camps, where friends
and. relatives can be entertained by attendant
students. Arrangements will
also be made so that plenty of girls
will be able to attend the canvp dances'.
Students arc encouraged to bring
musical instruments for an organization
of camp music. There will probably
be dramatics also, and when the
camp affords the facilities, there will
be swimming parties for the boys.
There will also be all kinds of athletic
tournaments including baseball games
and tennis matches.

The training' at all three grades of
catnps Is based, primarily on' the old
Plattsburg training camp. The programme
for the red camps including
infantry drill, rifle marksmanship,
camping, marching, military courtesy,
personal hygenie, physical training,
athletic coaching and military instruction
are all to be tinder the direct supervision
of experts.
Special emphasis is laid on the training
to make men physically fit and
give them an Idea of'how to keep in
that condition. Studies of the draft
statistics made in the surgeon general's
office show that every year nearly
400,000 boys-reach their maturity with
physical defects which, if permitted to
go uncorrected, will impair, their efficiency
and usefulness for later life.
But to the casual observer, many of
these cases would appear physically
normal.
There will be in all the camps, moving
pictures, libraries and recreation
halls for dancing and other entertain- |
cinated against smallpox before arrival
at camp, such treatment being free of
charge by army surgeons to all who
have not doctors' certificates dated
within three years; and .must submit
a certificate to the effect that he is of
good moral character and average general
Intelligence, signed by a school
master,' clergyman, priest or rabbi.
Those under 18 years of age must have
parental consent.
Each Student will bring to camp only
one piece of hand luggage, containing
night-clothes, underwear, socks, towels
and toilet articles.' He will be Issued,
free of charge a complete assortment
of camp clothing including a service
hat, a black tie, two olive drab suits,
puttees, shoes, a raincoat and sundt^
other equipment even unto a mosquito
bar, if necessary. Ammunition will be
nrovided in accordance with small
ai'ms firing regulations. Good food in
sufficient quantities^ is emphasized and
will be provided as prescribed by the
secretary of war from tim? to time."
No one who has seen that genial personage.
would, doubt his sympathetic
feeling in passing upon this momentous
phase of the equipment.
Government Pays Expenses.
The one expense the student will
have is the preliminary paying of
whatever railroad fare is necessary to
take him to camp. He will be reimbursed
after arrival there, at the rate
of five Cents a mile. If this arrangement
is riot convenient, the governmen
will furnish railroad tickets and
pay back the cost of meals consumed
during the period of travel.
These camps are called Red, 'White'
and Blue camps to designate the three
different classes of training offered.
Only the red (beginners' camps) will
be open to those who have had no military
training. In order to attend the
white and blue camps, it is necessary
to'have had previous military training.
Particulars regarding these camps will
be given to individuals desiring to look

DISASTER BY FLOOD
Johnstown and Galveston Head the
Tragic List
Several disastrous floods In this
country in the last twenty years have
had death lists running into the hundreds,
but only two of them have been
caused by torrential rains.
One was the flood of 1913 that ran
up a death list of 730 and property loss
of $180,873,000 In Ohio and Indiana.
In 1915 about 300 lives .were lost In
a cloudburst at Heppner, Oreg.
The flood that stands foremost in
the memory of the country, as. a catastrophe
-was that at Johnstovyn, Pa., oh
May 31, 1889, in \yhlch 2,209 Ifves were
lost and $10,000,000 worth of property
destroyed or swept away. This whs
not due to a storm, but to the breaking
of the reservoir dam.
The worst of the flood disasters
along the Texas coast at Galveston,
pccurred on September 8, 1900, causing
a loss of 0,000 lives and nearly
$20,000,000 damage. This flood was
caused by a hurricane from the Gulf
of Mexico.
A year before this first Galveston
flood, a flood Ln the Brazon valley In
Texas caused hundreds of thousands
of dollars damage and serious loss of
life. This flood was followed by the
bursting of a dam at Austin the next
