The person does not exist who is without something to be thankful for. One who Is appreciative in a small way for the bestowai of favors has, at least, augmentation to his thankfulness in the fact that he is not under obligation to return as well as to be grateful for large ones. Are you unhappy? Be thankful that there are plenty to console and more to advise you if only an opportunity Is afforded them. Have you poor eyesight? Be thankful that you are spared seeing more than is good for you and that you have an excellent excuse for failing to perform many of the small obligations of life. Are your eyes perfect? Be thankful that you need not contribute to the support of oculists and opticians. Are you thin? Be thankful that you are not as the fat, who obstruct the door to progress in many ways and places. If you are fat, be thankful. The stout woman, for example, always looks comfortable and 1b usually good tempered, no matter what her feelings and disposition may be. Are you beautiful? Be thankful that you are able to fulfill every earthly desire with no more effort than is required to summon a smile of reward for those who flock to serve you. Do you lack beauty?

Why do so many German children commit suicide? No one seems to know, but there is no dispute about the fact. Indeed it has been said that the majority of suicides are those of children, and experts seem inclined to connect the grisly epidemic with the educational system. That "the weak must go to the wall" has become an axiom that has been extended to the schools, and the undeveloped inind of the child seeks relief in suicide from the discouragement of failure. It would be Interesting to know if any of the so-called heathen countries of the world have ever experienced such a horrid social phenomena as that of child suicide. Muff.

Director of Ere- ! ning Department The Moody Bible Instltute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 1 THE LUNATIC BOY. LESSON TEXT-Mark 9:H-29. GOLDEN TEXT?"And Jesus said unto Jim. If thou canst! All things are posal- j ble to him that belleveth."?Mark 9:23 R. V. 1. The Disciples' Failure?vv. 14-19 Each of the Evangelists places this lesson In close connection with the I mount of transfiguration. Sorrow and sin, crushed and bleeding hearts, are ilways to be found at the foot of our mountains of vision and of privilege, j So also is to be found human impotence. Let us get the picture. As th? little party reaches the base of the mountain they find an excited multitude surrounding the remaining disciples who were undergoing a series of questions propounded to them by the scribes. Arriving in the midst of this questioning Jesus challenged the scribes by saying, "Why question ye them?" Before either the scribes or the disciples could answer, "one of the multitude" (v. 17) told his story to Jesus. The speaker had brought his only Bon, demon-possessed, to the disciples to be healed. He goos on , to tell Jesus the terrlbleness of the boy's sufferings, and that to his bitter disappointment and anguish he has found that the disciples are not equal to the task of healing. This Inability upon their part gave the 6cribes their opportunity and had undoubtedly raised In the father's mind a doubt as to the power of Jesus as well. Takes Case In Hand. Jesus at once takes the case In aand. Rebuke and pity are mingled in His words, "O faithless generation, how long shall I bear with you?" The disciples, the scribes and the mul- i tltude, all alike, are Involved in his rebuke. All were In a greater or less degree faithless. Jesus had been in their midst performing his mighty deeds, speaking his marvelous words, and manifesting his wonderful power, yet they were without faith. Full often the present-day church and Christian workers stand Impotent before the world's great need because of a lack of faith. How frequently we miss a blessing because of our dependence upon some one who makes a failure of faith and prayer. Jesus was then and always has been troubled and distressed at such failure (v. 19). However, the father was rewarded when, In obedience to the command, he brought his boy to Jesus. The conversation that ensued Is interesting and pathetic, one that is too often repeated today. At last In his deep anguish the father cried, if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us and help up." He thereby, as all true fathers should, completely identified himself with his son and his son's need. Fewer young men of today would be demon-possessed if their fathers would have identified themselves more fully with their boys. n? ronlv nf Jesus forms the gold ?n text. What a magnificent response this father made, "I believe; help thou mine unbelief." Small wonder that Jesus should again work a won, der of healing. II. The Master's Victory?vv. 20-29. The son of man, who had JuBt been so wonderfully glorified, again manifests to the world his power over an afflicted son of man. The evil one, however, never gives up his possession without a struggle. Hence It was that, as the boy was brought near to Jesus, the very worst manifestations of his malady were exhibited, insomuch, that as the multitude rushed together to witness his paroxysm and saw him as the demons left him, declared the boy to be dead. We must remember how long time the demons had ruled the boy (v. 21). A small boy once defined a habit as "something bard to break;" very true, and the longer the habit the harder It is to break. The father's faith was small but very earnest. It was sufficient to cry to Jesus for relief and that is always enough. Jesus repeats the man's use of the word "If" as though to challenge the implied lack of power and at once throws the burden * -1VIIU,, t??An faf hor'' It or reBpoiiniuiin./ u^un mo .?u?. . was not the question "If" Jesus could heal but rather "If" the father could believe. Realizing his lack, the father cri^d, "Help mine unbelief." 'Tls such a cry as this God always answers. Quickly avoiding the fast gathering crowd he takes the boy by the hand, raises him up and sends him to his father on their way. No father has the right to transfer his obligations, spiritual or otherwise, to any organization. Entering the nearby house the disciples set us a good example by inquiring of Jesus as to the cause of their failure, and he tells them that the great necessity is prayer. There are more defeats in the church of Christ and in the lives of his followers that can be traced to a lack of prayer than perhaps any other one element. These disciples had cast out demons before this, but, shrinking from fellowship with him in the death ?? -1- ?.10 00\ Ur.t* be had foretoia laiars b.o^o;, i.?w stood condemned before him, powerless In the fact of a great need, and condemned by the multitude. "If thou canst." Succes^ In the work of the gospel Is never conditioned upon his ability, but always upon our willingness. A broken fellowship always spells defeat. Failing here, we bring I reproach upon him and stand condemned before an unbelieving world. This does not necessarily mean that in every case we disbelieve him or his power, but rather that somewhere In the path of obedience we will find a brfak In our fellowship. The most aggressive, such as Peter, and somerimes the most beloved, such as John, lose their power even though in constant association with the Christ, if there be any break in their fellowship. Such is the great lesson for the disciple. For the outsider there Is no case so desperate but can find healing and salvation If brought to Jesus There is this-further fact that is of tremendous import, viz., that the father's faith was essential to the healing of his son. The home has precedence over the church and 'he state. No father has the right to transfer his obligations, spiritual or otherwise, to any organization, however great its motive, or good Its management may be.
