{Naturalists Have About Given Up
Their Efforts to Explain the Turtle
and Its Ways.
According to Macdonald, a Sc otch
naturalist of wide repute, the turtle
is the strangest of all living things
MB and the most unfathomable. He can
live in the water aa well as out of
fit, and can seemingly go for indefinite
lengths of time without air or
food or light.
He is neither fish nor flesh nor
fowl, and yet he has the characteristics
of all thre;-. As for his eating,
It seems quite superfluous, for he
can remain shut up in a barrel for
? number of weeks and emerge at
?* the end of the time apparently none
the worse for the lack of food and
light and air.
The baby turtle seems also just as
indifferent to its surroundings as its
parents are. As soon as it comes
forth from its egg it scuttles off to
the sea. It has no one to teach or
guide it. In its brain seems implanted
the idea that until its armor
becomes hard it has no defense
against hungry fish, and so it seeks
shelter in gulf weed and feeds unmolested
until its armor gets hard.
By the time it weighs 25 pounds,
which occurs the first year, it knows
that it is far from all danger, for!
afteh that no fish, however hungry
or well armed with teeth, can inter
iere. ine lurue immediately withdraws
its head its nock between'
. ^ the two shells, and all intending de vourers
struggle in vain to impress
it.
TURNED IT TO PROFIT
^ * P
"What did the gas company ilo
when your committee complained to
them about their poor service?"
"They made light of it."
WHAT THEY LACKED.
Two men on a train were apparently
old acquaintances, and they
were in a jovial mood. Both were
gray, hut each had a luxuriant head
of hair. Near them sat a stout party
with a shiniu<r dome that whs almost
destitute of hirsute covering.
The two friends exchangee! facetious
remarks ahout silver lacks, then
indulged in some pleasantries ahout
the "thinning of the thatch," with
casual references to doorknobs and
billiard balls, much to the amusement
of the passengers, but to the
evident discomfiture of the baldheaded
man.
The talk finally developed into an
argument of the cause of huldness,
and after considerable jocularity, the
pair turned to the pearly-pated
stranger, and one said:
"My friend and I have been discussing
the cause of baldness, but we
can't seem to agree. Would you j
mind telling us what you regard as ' ,
the real cause of baldness?" l
The stranger wheeled about, eyed j '
his questioners fiercely and snorted:' '
"Brains!"
??????1
Nothing delights us more than to 1
read a statement by Brander Mathuz, I \
or some other faithful guardian of i \
our language that "usage" excuses I
this or that departure from correct '
English; hut we wish he would l>o
a shade more specific. Whose usage ,
is meant ? The iiancre <\f
ft ?""? !
or that of educated jx'ople ? | 1
The adoration, hy the majority, of ,
chromos translates them, of course. (
into works of art, and places them ,
on a level with old masters. The i
use of Ihptor hy the common (very) 1
people excuses a person from keep- *
ing solwr. And so the fact that a
majority of people say, "between you 3
and 1" leads the alert custodians of t
our speech to declare that "usage" v
has given the phrase a right to exist. J
Well, now, we prefer the explana- f
tion of an English teacher, who al- a
lowed "ladween you and 1" to go un- h
challenged because "between you and a
me" sounds so affected!?Chicago ^

LESSON FOR MARCH 22
LESSON8 BY THE WAY.
L.E8SON TEXT?Luke 18:18-?.
QOLDEN TEXT?"Not every one that
aalth unto me. Lord, Ix>rd. shall enter
Into the kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of my father who la In
heaven."?Matt. 7i21.
The paragraph selected for oar
study 1b wisely entitled "Lessons by
the Way," and easily falls into three
sections. There are two parables
about the kingdom, a reply as to
who shall be saved, and an answer
to the advice given Jesus about Herod
seeking after his life.
The first section is properly a portion
of the preceding paragraph which
relates to the incident of the woman
healed on a Sabbath.
I. What the Kingdom of Qod Is
like, vv. 18-21. The word, "therefore"
(v. 18. R. V.), links this
section with the lesson of
last week wherein we observed
the effect upon his adversaries when
Jesus worked his miracle of healing
upon the woman (v. 13). and they
were "put to Bhame," v. 17. With thlB
fact in mind it is easy to reconcile
the principles advanced by the two
different parables, viz., the fact of
intense opposition on the part of his
enemies, and that of rejoicing on the
part of his friends.
8ymbols of Evil.
Th? fnltliflll utrvnnto nf an o honnt
but expected Lord are to watch (or
him that they may give him suitable
welcome when he comes. This kingdom
is to be outwardly prosperous
and grow to that extent that It shall
be a shelter to the birds, which represent
the nations, Ezek. 17:23. But
at the same time there Is to he an inward
growth as well, one of leaven
(yeast), putrefaction. See I. Cor. 6:67,
also Gal. 6:8, 9. A mustard seed thus
growing large Is abnormal; the blrdB
are symbolic of evil; so Jesus teaches
us here as elsewhere (Matt. 13:2430),
that the kingdom Is to be of a
mixed character, an Intermixture of
good and evil, opposition and victory.
History has abundantly fulfilled these
predictions, though at the time Jesus
uttered these words nothing seemed
more Improbable than such a suggested
development, either of outward
prosperity and power, or of such a
possibility of finding evil within.
Common Question.
IL Who shall be saved, vv. 22-30.
What Is more natural in view of these
thoughts than to ask this question, a
question that 1b a most common one
still. Notice, he did not answer in a
way to satisfy idle curiosity, but directed
each to his own duty, to see if
they themselves had entered the kingdom
rather than be concerned about
how many are to be Baved. The secret
then Is still a secret. He told
them to "strive" (contend earnestly)
to enter in. Soon the door will be
shut, now they are able to enter, then
not at all. He is the "door," John
10:9. There Is one form of work
which is essential to the salvation of
the believer, see John 6:29. "Works,"
altruistic service, is an essential part
of Christianity, being an evidence of
faith. James 2:17, 18. but altruism is
not the whole of religion as some
seem to imply. We do not drift Into
the kingdom. Acts 14:22; I. Cor. 9:2427;
Heb. 4:11; 2 Pet. 1:10. All one
needs to do to be loBt is to do nothing.
To be saved calls for an honest,
earnest effort. Jesus again suggests
his return aH he reveals the
kind of seeking which falls to And an
entrance. In another passage (Matt.
7:13, 14) Jesus states this same
thought. The way of unrighteousness
is broad, easy to follow and many
walk therein. Whereas the way of
life is narrow, Btraight, and few
choose to follow it. To be even so
Familiar as 4o have eaten and to have
drunk in his presence, or to have lived
on the same street, will not suffice,
and will not merit an entrance. In
another connection (Matt. 25) Jobus
taught that even if admission is
claimed on the basis of actual service ;
rendered there was still lacking one
thing, viz., the Lord's knowledge of
them. To be casually, superficially
Tamiliar with him is not enough?they
lid not know him. Many of our
"first" people will then be "last,"
svhen that door is closed, and they
tlnd themselves without, "Blessed is
tie that cometh in the name of the ^
Lord."
"Word and Work?the two W's.
fou'll soon get spiritually gorged If :
t Is nil word and no work, and you j
vill soon be without power if it is
ill work and no word. If you want
o be healthy Christians, there must
ie both word and work."?D. L- :
floody.
III. Warning about Herod, vv. 31t5.
Why the Pharisees gave Jesua
his warning is hard to tell. They
vere not interested in his safety paricularly
and perhaps only wanted to
righten him and thereby limit his in
luence and activity, see Neh. 6:9-11; ;
linos 7:12, 13. There Is no doubt,
lowever, of the truth of their words
nd we know that Jesus never needpssly
incurred danger. He had his
trork to do and could not be killed
ntll it was done. John 11:8-10. The
nentlon of the usurper called from
esus a revelation of his compssston,te
love for the city of Jerusalem

Waycross, Ga., Woman Found
Relief in Vinol.
Did you ever cough for a week?
Then just think how distressing it
must be to have a cough hang on for
two years. ?
Mrs. D. A_ McQee. Waycross, Ga.,
aays: "I had a very heavy cold
which settled into a chronic cougb
which kept me awake nights for fully |
two years, and felt tired all the time
The effect of taking your cod liver
and iron remedy. Vinol, Is that my !
cough is gone. I can now get a good '
night's rest and I feci much stronger
In every way. I am 74 years old."
It is the combined action of ttig
medicinal elements of the cods' lis*
era aided by the blood-making and
strength-creating properties of tonio
Iron which makes Vinol so efficient
for chronic coughs, colds and bronr
chltis?at the same time building up
the weakened, run-down system.
