Director 01 Evening Department, The Moody Bible 7nstltute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MAY 5. POVERTY AND RICHES. LESflON* TEXT-Lk. ?:20-2? and 1?:1?-S1. GOLDEN TEXT?"A man'a life conaleteth not in the abundance of the things he poaseaseth."?Luke 1J.15. Last week we were studying the fundamental principles of this new kingdom Jesus came to establish. Today our study presents another of his seeming paradoxes, viz., the blessedness or the happiness of poverty, hunger and persecution. Spoken primarily to the twelve. Jesus Intended these words for all the people?present and prospective. Jesus Is distinctly the nnnr man's friend He knew the mean lng of hunger and tbrlst, of weeping and mourning, and so contrasts the i Joy that shall be to these "happy ones" > with the "woe" that shall come to those who from out of their Joy and their abundance fall to respond to the needs of mankind. What It Is and Why. The last half of the lesson Is Intended to illustrate the teachings of the first. Let us look at the illustration. "A certain rich man." He was not of sufficient lmportahce even to mention his name. How few rich men ever i succeed in really perpetuating their i names. Not one succeeds in any measure at all except as in Borne manner be emulates the life and teachings of Jesus. How few monuments really perpetuate names. Character alone is what lives. This rich man, however, did not lose out simply because he was a rich man. Verse 25 tells us why he was In anguish. His life hud been that of a selfish seeker and he had had hit, reward Now conditions have changed. Once clothed in purple and faring sumptuously, now he is the beggar. Ignoring the cry of need at his gate now he is compelled to make his cry afar ofT. "A certain beggar named Lazarus." It Is better to be a beggar vainly seeking a few crumbs and to rest in Abraham's bosom than to live in luxurious ease, ignoring the cry of the needy and to live in hell hereafter. Lazarus did not gain glory hereafter because he was a beggar, but rather horansn of his character. Angels an nounced the coming of the Son of Man, angels welcomed the returning : of this eon of mankind. Which of the twain, Dives or Lazarus, really enjoyed life? Eternity is a long time, It begins where imagination ends The name j Lazarus really means "Gad-helps" and ! God always does help the poor. Lazarus had some friends for we read that the dogs showed their sym! pathy. It is always true that those ! poor as poverty are most ready to re' spond to the cry of need, and out of their penury will give the most abun- j dantly to relieve distress. Leaves All Behind. "The rich man died also." Thus ended his life of ease and luxury for . : shrouds have no pockets. "How much ! did he leave? He left it all." All of his loved ones, all of his hopes were ! left behind. There is something appallingly sad in the death of a rich man who trusts only to his wealth, 1 having no faith in God. Millions for a moment of time. The sarcasm of Jesu3' words is quite apparent, "and he was burled." Only a clod of earth. , no longer useful, of the earth, earthy, | bury him, get him out of sight. But did this end all? By no means, I for when he reached the other side j he did not lose consciousness nor reason. No soul sleeping there. He i 1 saw, he observed, he felt, he remembered, he reasoned. Back upon earth i j he had brothers who were following his same mode of life. Here he was suffering, crying for "mercy," for an alleviating touch of cold water, yet in , that cry there was no note ui rcpeui- i ance. He and his brethren had lived for the tongue and had pampered it. j now ft, the seat of taste, of bold words, j etc., is crying for cooling relief. But j ! would those behind repent even if one 1 were to rise from the dead? No, exj cept that they might escape a like tor- ; ment. The desires of their hearts | would be the same. Being out of state's prison is of itself no particular honor. The message of Jesus strikes : deeper than outward forms and cere- I monies. It is the heart motive whereby we are to be judged. Dives sought to excuse or to Justify himself (v. 30), j but Abraham tells him plainly that both he and his brethren had had sufdcient light. If they will not listen to Moses (the Pentateuch) and to the I prophets neither will they repent even ! though one care from the dead. The disciples were poor In both this world's goods and one of them, Matthew, adds that the happy ones are I those who are poor In spirit also. They I knew the meaning of hunger and of privation and were ready to learn of him. Jesus is not so much In this illustration trying to give tis a picture of the hereafter, of the future life as j he is to show the results of our living i In this present life. He shows us plainly that there are different states over there and that these Btates are the result of our conduct In the life 1 ; j we now live. Riches are a temptation, a temptation to gain "by fraudulent 1 j means and to spend foolishly. Many a young man is cursed by great riches, ! all honor to those who overcome that handicap. The temptation for men is i I to trust to the arm that secures the , > ! riches and not to the strong arm of i | God. "Corporate wealth is the suI preme peril of America;" so spoke a ' Judge of the Supreme court of the ] I'nited States. Why Is this so? Be, J cause It tends to selfishness; it tendB to the abandonment of faith In God; to the breaking down of any attempt to live the golden rule. The strength of America is not represented by the dollar mark but It Is In that true altruism that is to be found only In the i hearts of those who are poor in spirit. That great mass of our population who are not rich In this world's goods but who are rich in faith nnd love. , ; The getting of great wealth too often J Ignores the plain teachings of God's 1 Book. "If riches Increase set not ! your heart upon them; for how hardly shall they that have great wealth enI ter the kingdom of heaven." Many of I ! the poorest of earth, however, are as i covetous of riches as any of the i wealthiest can possibly be. God blesses j ! and uses consecrated wealth but its | responsibility Is a strong test of Christian character. This lesson does . not teach the blessedness of nothing. We may all be millionaires in the bouI and then will we be blessed and be. ome a blessing.

One little fellow of rather uncertain age was constantly proving his devotion by little acts of kindness, which did not escape the notice of the teacher.

THE OLD PLEA He "Didn't Know It Was Loaded." x 1 The coffee drinker seldom realizes that coffee contains the drug, caffeine, a severe poison to the heart and nerves, causing many forms of disease, noticeably dyspepsia. "I was a lover of coffee and used It for many years, and did not realize the bad effects I was suffering from Its use. (Tea Is Just as Injurious as coffee because It, too, contains caffeine, the same drug found In coffee.) "At first I was troubled with Indigestion. I did not attribute the trouble to the use of coffee, but thought it arose from other causes. With these attacks I had sick headache, nausea and vomiting. Finally ray stomach waa in such a condition I could scarcely retain any food. "I consulted a physician; was told all my troubles came from indigestion, but was not informed what caused the Indgestion. I kept on with the coffee, and kept on with the troubles, too, and my case continued to grow worse from year to year until It developed into chronic diarrhea, nausea and severe attacks of vomiting. I could keep nothing on my stomach and became a mere shadow, reduced from 159 to 128 pounds. "A specialist informed me I had a very severe case of catarrh of the Btomach. which had got so bad he could do nothing for me, and I became convinced my days were numbered. i "Then I chanced to see nn article set- j ting forth the good qualities of Postum | nnd explaining how coffee injured people so I concluded to give Postum a trial. I soon saw the good effects?my headaches were less frequent, nausea and vomiting only came on at long in- 1 tervals and I was soon a changed man, feeling much better. "Then 1 thought I could stand coffee again, but as soon as I tried It my old troubles returned and I again turned to Postum. Would you believe it, I j did this three times before I had sense enough to quit coffee for good and , keep on with the Postum.

HOMES J AFRICA High Standard of Refinement Exists Among the Dutch. Boers Are the Backbone of Country? "Colored Help" Proves to Be Household Problem ? Abundance of Work for Men. Cape Town, Africa.?In South Africa there are many and varied lntluencea at work shaping the character of the country?in Its home life no less than In a political sense. When we read and Bpeak of the lack of refinement exhibited In the homes of the Boers we must not forget that there Is another section of the Dutch population of British South Africa. There is a very high and very exact Btandard of refinement In hundreds of old Dutch families in the Cape peninsula, families in which the traditions of ages back are carried out to the letter, whether they stand for niceties of domestic life or its warm-hearted hospitalities. There are four colonies in the union of South Africa, and each has Its own characteristics; every nation under the sun has given Its quota to the people of those four distinctive countries; the two dominating races are Just In the midst of a process of settlement of the many questions that have vexed them for the last ten years; and beall k I a * hAfo la tho crpflt fflCt Of jjjiju an utin luci c *o o* ?? ? the problem of white and black. These are the elements of which the colonist must form some sort of sympathetic estimate. A common objective for all blame Is the colored servant question, but many a tired and seasoned South American housekeeper would not give up her "colored labor" for any other that could be supplied In Its place. The disasters of the system come from the abuse of It. A great many of the women who employ black servants In 8outh Africa have the most Imperfect way to treat or manage a servant of any aort. As to the routine of every day life in South Africa, there Is not very much to mark that as being distinct from the routine anywhere else. Men work hard; the demands of commercial life are heavy, and the "slacker" Is useless; In short, there are many 4 I ' Typical South African Home. men who discover for the first tlmt when they reach Africa how much work they are able to do. The ell mate Is energizing, however, ana work does not kill. Not always with perfect Justification, perhaps, the South African comes to look on life with a certain detachment; he does all that he ought to do, but does It carelessly, as if It were less than noteworthy. He does not become flurried; he dines at night ?and takes plenty of time over It? and he appears to be careless of money even when he is not really so. Such an attitude as this brings much satisfaction, and the man who has that attitude cannot very well be charged with vulgarity or with the error of missing the whole meaning of life. TREES CLAIMED BY OCEAN Fishes Swim Where Once Were Held the Drills of 9oldiers on the Island of Panay. Panay, P. I.?From Fort San Pedro to the outskirts of Oton, including all of the beach side of iloilo city, the sea currents are rapidly washing away the eand and gravel and allowing the sea to encroach on the mainland at a dangerous rate. Old residents tell us that where the water now reaches was formerly solid ground; that soldiers were once drilled where now the fishes swim. During the high tides of a few months since probably a hundred larzf coeoanut trees were literally washed tip by the roots on account of the beach having been gradually swept away to such an extent that the waves could beat against them. These trees had been growing along the water front for many years and only fell after they had been undermined by the constantly encroaching water. The property along this beach Is valuable and should be protected Not only is it valuable, but some of it constitutes the most beautiful part of this city, and for this reason also should be protected. We Buggest that steps be taken to have government engineers look Into this matter with a view of making " ecommendations for some kind of protection against the constant wearing away of this valuable and beauti ful part of our city.

HIS SERMON IN A NUTSHELL Comprehensive and Succinct Report of What Was Said In the Funeral Oration. A popular Irishman, beloved for Bany a mile around his home town, died suddenly. He belonged to several organizations, and the A. O. H. of Bloomville decided to send a representative to his funeral. The church was packed and the clergyman most sympathetic. In expressing his certainty of Immortality he went in for simile. "We will say," he observed In illustration, "that here is a beautiful watch. The case is good and is studded with diamonds. It looks like the valuable part of the watch, but you can remove the works and they will keep on ticking." The delegate returned to his home town and was sounded on the topic of the funeral sermon. "Well," he reported, "the father said that Pat was no Waterbury." BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING "When my baby was six months old, his body was completely covered with large sores that seemed to Itch and burn, and cause terrible suffering. The eruption began in pimples which would open and run. making large sores. His hair came out and finger nails fell off, and the sores were over the entire body, causing little or no sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs would come ofT when I removed his shirt. "We tried a great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend Induced me to try the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment I used the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment but a short time before I could see that he was ; Improving, and In six weeks' time he , was entirely cured.
