GOLDEN TEXT-But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added onto you.?Matt. 6:33.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?Jehovah's Champion Preserved. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADUI/D TOPIC ?Obeying the Word of Jehpvah. * I. Elijah's Message to Ahab ( . 1). This was a startling message, for Ahab. had not only led Israel into idolatry, but into a repudiation of the living God. 1. "As the Lord God of Israel llveth." Elijah knew the source of his message. ,TW UA AnsAonnlhrl tho llf. CIV kUVW Uittl lie iC|?e?Mii.ii ?MV ... Ing God, therefore had no fear to come Into the presence of the king In His name. y 2. "Before whom I stand." Because Elijah stood before God, he could stand before Ahab. His "standing" before God indicates his constant readiness to go on His errands.. , 3. "There shall not be dew nor rain these years but according to my word." This suspension of moisture continued for three and a half jeans (Jas. 5:17), and was given In answer to Elijah's prayer (Jas. 5:17). Dfouth was predicted as the punishment for idolatry (Deut. 11:16, 17), and the prophet was now applying the divine Judgment. II. Elijah'* Retirement (,-v. 2-16). As soon a? he had delivered his message he retired from the king's eUKf whlla tha nanolfv' nf tha kind's 6ut-i |iv..v?.%rf v* n? ?? sin should be 'visited upon the land. When the famine was sore In the land, the king sought east and west, north and south for Elijah, but God had concealed hlin. Those who speak God's message frequently seek solitude when the message is delivered. 1. By the brook" Cherith (vv. 2-7). (1) Drinking of the brook (vv. 4-6). While drinking of the literal waters f the brook, he was being nourished by the Living Waters from the throne of God. From day to day Elijah's faith was tested as he saw the stream run lower and lower as the drouth continued. (2) Fed by the ravens ?1 4-6). The ravens brought'him bread;and flesh In the morning and bread and flesh in the evening. Elijah thus enjoyed two meals each day, with water to drink. The same God who sustained Elijah, still lives, and tve Should trust Him for our dally bread. At last the brook dried up because there was no rain In the land. The Lord then Instructed him to move. 2. At Zarephath (w. 8-16). (1) The place (v. 9).. Z#rephath was at the west side of Palestine, near the Mediterranean sea, in Gentile territory. In order to reach this place Elijah had TO cross me cvuuir; lrvui me ouiuuu to the sea. Zarephath was only a few miles from the home of Jezebel's father. This, no doubt, was a trial to Elijah. (2) Sustained by a widow (vv. 10-12). "Bring a little water and a morsel of bread," was the request which he made of the widow. This, no doubt, was a great trial to her, but God had touched her heart and stirred up faith in her. Her reply reveals her deep distress. (3) Elijah's reply (v. 13). This made plain to her that it was a case of mutual interest to do as the Prophet said. "The barrel of meal shall not waste; neither shall the cruse of oil fall." (4) The widow's obedience (v. 15). "She did according to the sayings of Elijah, and she and her house did eat many days." (5) God keeps His word (v. 16). May we learn from this lesson: 1. The particularity of God's providence. Truly a sparrow shall not fall to the ground without our Father. By the prearrangeinents of God all our needs are daily met. There Is no happen so in God's providence., The woman of Zarephath, going out to gather sticks to prepare the last ineal, met Elijah, and is helped for two years. 2. No matter how small our resources, we con do something for God if we will. The lad with the five barley loaves and the two small fishes, with the blessing of the Lord, did a great work. : 3. Our concern should be to work for others and for God before ourselves. We should give our all to God and trust Him for further supply. 4. God often allows us tg get down to bur very last in order to teach us that all is from mm. 3. God's dealing with this Gentile woman is a foregleam of His dealing with the Gentile nations. * The Cheerful Worker. Do all things v'thout rnurniurings 1 and disputings; that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shall shine as lights in the j world.?Philipplans 2:14 to 16. A Great Reward. I hare fought a good light; I have | finished my course; I have kept the faith. Htncoforth there Is laid up for me a crown of righteousness?n Timothy 4:7 and 8. ? The old fashioned farmer bought gold bricks, but he probably was too wise to put his faith in hair restorers. ROYAL COURTING HUMAN Something About Princess Mary of England and Her Lover. Viscount Lasctlles, the 39-year-old fiance of Princess Mary, is tall and 3lim, with a blonde mustache, relates a London Dispatch. He has a soldierly bearing; is always well-dressed; a sportsman and a good after-dinner sTV-nltPiv Onnsennentlv. his contem plated entry Into the royal family of England is regarded with popular favbr. I The courtship of the betrothed couple, according to accounts, has heen real love making. They h&ve' idden together In Rotten-Row, and have walked together through London streets. Country house parties * fit which the princess has visited have included Lord Lascelles among the quests. He was a guest at'Sandringhum during the recent stay of the royrl family there. He went shotting with- the king and the princess accompanied the guns, ft was here that the nutual regard established at earlier ncctings ripened Into something more. Lord Lascelles approached the king before proposing to the princess, and ! the royal parents', like any well-ordered family, talked it 'over with their laughter. Princess Mary soon showed that she was ks much In love as thet viscount, whereupon the king gave his consent to Lascelles paying his fbrmal suit! to the princess. The viscount won golden opinions when fighting in France with his regiment, the Grenadier Guards. One of his fellow officers says that Lascelles nover lost his cheerful smile even in the hottest fighting; the ,only exception being when tobacco rr.n short. "A baby millionaire and not a cigarette to bless myself with;" lie feiiimuledi He had successfully circumvented many attempts made upon his single estate by matchmaking mothers and had com* to be hegarded as a confhmed bachelor. He was not supposed to be a "ladies' man" and his tastes ran more in the direction of sport. He is a hard rider to hounds and has lately established a pack in Yo.ksh re, of which he Is the master. Lord Clanricarde, from which Lord Laecelles in 1916 inherited idarly ?2,500,000, was supposed to be the worst dressed man in the House of Loids. The rent roll from his Irish estates ran Into ?30,000 a year. The Lasceiies Lionucn residence, Chesterfield House, a famous Mayfair mansion fronted with tall columns and facing Hyde Park, was used as the headquarters of the Lerigiid of Nations, until the League moved to its permanent offices at Geneva. Harewood House, the Lasceiies ancestral seat near Leeds, is remarkable for its 76 doors made of solid mahogany which were made on the family's estate in Barbados. Most of the wealtlv of the ?arli<>C HarCwoed, the ^ prospective bridegroom's father, is derived from sugar plantations in the West Indies. , Harewood House has a wonderful collection of china, valued at $1,000,000 and surpassed in this country only by the Windsor collection. The family arms are two behrs supporting a shield with a golden cross, with the | rnotto "In sclo Deo salus" (Salvafion In God alone.) Christmas Cards.?It is estimated that 25,000,000 Christmas greetings were sent through the United: States malls this year. The average cost for cards was probably about two and a half cents, and the average postage on each ond and a half cents; nnd this, on 25,000,000 will bring the bill up to around $1,000,000. Emmett Cambell Hall, writing in the New York. Post, gives the following account of the origin of j the custom of sending Christmas i greetings by cards: "The Christmas card, the first form of greeting card, was undoubtedly developed from the school "Christmas pieces" which were popular, particularly in England, in the early part of the nineteenth century. These were sheets of writing pape^, decorated by the writing masters, or even having a colored picture printed at the top, on which schoolboys wrote carefully composed letters as the Christmas period approached setting forth their scholarly attainments and modestly intimating that suitable rewards would be entirely acceptable. "The llrst Christmas card proper appears to have been issued in London in the year 1846, and was the idea of Sir Henry Cole. The drawing was made by J. C. Horsley of the Royal Academy, and it was printed.in lithography and colored by hand. The card was about the size of a lady's calling <~X"X~X"X~X"X~X"X*<~X~X~X~X~: | SURE, WE T | THE YEAR 1922 has !{. which we thank our scor ? gan the closing year wit J and troubles of our own. | ers we have disposed of t | ried over goods as well ; not carried over.

General Hays, newly appointed postmasters will be required to attend school, where they will be taught, among other things, how to meet the public, their places In the community, how through publicity to educate the public in the use of the malls, how to handle complaints, guard the mails and maintain proper relationship with the department. Central accounting postoffices will be designate din each state as schools for the instruction of postmasters of the second and third class, under the direction Of First Assistant Postmaster General Work as "superintendent" of/the schools. Newly appointed postmasters will bo advised by letter 'that his city's welfare to a Very great extent 'depends upon his willingness and capacity to give it better postal service." After the intensive course, aimed to impress upon the new official that "he is local manager of the biggest business institution in the world," he will be required to write the department, giving a review of what he hud learned, so that it may be determined, Mr. Hays said, whether he is qualified to servei behind a placard leading: "Ask your postmasters when you I want to know." i * ?

According tcr J. Ed Anderson, a well known member of the state legislature and a progressive farmer of this county, the sugar cane crop may become a rival of "King Cotton," says a Timmonsville dispatch. Mr. Anderson made his first market experiment with this r>i'nn tKn nAot aooonn nlontino" fi \'f? acres or ribbon cane on his fa-m near here. One acre of the crop he decided to save for seed; the other four acres'j production when ground, cooked and canned amounted to 900 gallons. Mr. Anderson says that for this syrup he purchased gallon airtight containers in which he poured and sealed the liquid while still boiling, thus canning the flavor of new sj4rup to be retained as long as the seal remains unbroken. The market price of the syrup is one dollar per gallon. This after the expenses of | <325 for the fertilizer, -cans and cooking have been deducted, Mr. Anderson will have a profit Of $143.75 per acre or $575 for th6 four acres. If the season had been more propitious for ribbon cane Mr. Anderson believes his profits would have nearly doubled. However, he has -such faith in the venture that next year he expects to plant about fifteen acres and had banked 18,000 stalks for the purpose. TAX NOTICE?1921-1922.
