Some Things Which Every One
Can Rejoice in.
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? Be thankful
that you are not harassed by the fear
of losing your good looks until worry

ybur face.
If you enjoy the reputation of a wit,
be thankful; for all persona who have
wits are not witty, and one who la
never lacks companionship or admirers.
Have you a home? He thankful that
wherever you go there accompanies
you the knowledge that your own door
fs always open to you, no matter what
the posit'lcn of other doors may be.
If you are a married woman be
thankful that you need never suffer,
like heroines of romance, from suppressed
emotions and overcharged
feelings. You have always at hand
one upon whom you can vent the one
and to whom you may charge the other.
You are secure in the stronghold
of Irresponsibility.
Are you a married man? Rejoice
that there lives at least one person In

you are now or at least once were ft
paragon qf perfection.
Do you add "spinster" to your legal
signature? Let your soul be filled
with thankfulness that your especial
domains may be kept tidy and
furbelowed to a degree neither appreciated
nor tolerated by the masculine
mind. Remember that a maiden may,
If she likes, try on.many engagement
rings and still enjoy the feminine prerogative
of failing to keep the contracts
these Imply.
Are you rich? Be thankful, for your
opportunities to enrich the lives of
others are many and even your enemies
will kowtow to you.
Are you poor? Rejoice, for those
whose pleasures are few and bought
with an effort are best equipped heartily
to enjoy them. Persons who have
neither money nor possessions are not
harassed by the fear of losing them
nor troubled by fluctuations in the
world of finance.
novo von vnuth? Be grateful for
It. Nothing is Impossible for youth to
attempt, and It is from the exploitations
of youth that sages draw their
wisdom.
Finally, if you are old, be thankful.
Age confers privileges which nothing
elso ever bestows. It is pleasant to be
able to tell other people how to bring
up their children properly, whethei
you ever brought up any yourself 01
not, and to arrogate to yourself, anc
sometimes express, all the wisdorr
which years are supposed to garner.

True Thankfulness.
Where true thankfulness is ther
can be no selfishness. For the hor
estly thankful man must be fille
with a sense of his own unworthines
to enjoy the good things that come t
him. Humility must mark his attitud
toward his own blessings. The nes
itep is to share them as far as thi
may be done with others less foi

Suicide Among German Children.
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.

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

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.
All the time is the time for prayer
