WHAT WOMEN TEACH.
MR. STONES ENEMIES.
TWO WONDERFUL LEGS.
ABOUT CLOCK WATCHING.
H. G. Wells worries about the
American system of public school edu
cation. He is much afraid that our
manhood will be damaged because our
school boys are educated largely by
women.
It is kind of Mr. Wells to worry,
but he is wasting time and energy in
this case.
If he will look into his own book
of history at one of his ancestors with
the Ingiteethyigy forttfeati and heavy,
jaw, he will find thatnuman S'elngs
have changed. And he ought to know
that they have changed, thanks to the
fact that men have been educated by
If you want
the real truth about why I
signed up to write a lot of
pieces for these people, it's
because I love animals.
Have you ever studied that
picture of the ‘Bull' care
fully? . . . have you ever
seen such a kind-looking
animal? I thought this: —
certainly no one who cares
as much about dumb crea
tures as they do would put
out anything but the best
smoking tobacco possible—
so I said all right, I’ll write
your stuff. Honestly, the
money part of it didn’t have
much to do with it. That
is, not very much.
Seriously, though, out
where I come from, unless
a male member of the
population has got that
‘Bull’ Durham tag hanging
from the shirt pocket, he’s

believe me, you can’t sell

eggs much and keep on sell

1. Jesus the Source of the Disciple’s
Life (v. 1). He is the true vine.
Through the incarnation Jesus Identi
fied Himself with humanity, and by
virtue of His atoning death and resur
rection it Is possible for the believer
to he a partaker of His life so that be

that’s what they need. On the lap
of his mother, and at her knee, man
has been changed from the troglodyte,
that used to crack his neighbor’s
thigh bone to get at the marrow, into
our present imitation of civilization.
Women can teach the schoolboy jus
tice, kindness, courage, patience and
concentration.
What other manly characteristics

Somebody representing the rail
roads will have to do some thinking,
and plan something, or our very re
spectable United States railroads are
going to suffer no matter how much
the Government may do for them.
Motor trucks are robbing the roads
of short teiul freight, and the long
haul goes more and more by canal
wherever it cam Mr. Thom for the
railroads says so.
Do railroads intend to meet new
conditions or just die out, like the
dinosaur, when his time came and the
rats gnawed his big feet?

2. The Father Has in His Hands the
Discipline of the Disciple (v. 1). The
"Father Is the husbandman.” Just as
the culture of the vine is In the hands
of a husbandman so the discipline of
the believer’s life is In the hands of
the Father. In this disciplinary proc

(a) Removes the unfruitful branch
(v. 2). He does not take the trouble
to prune the fruitless brunch. The
nominal church member, the mere pro
fessor, He removes.
(b) Purges the fruitful branch that
It may produce more fruit (v. 2). He
restrains our natural tendencies and.
desires in order that the virtues of the
Lord, the fruits of the Spirit, may
shine forth. .
3. The instrument by which the
pruning is accomplished is Jesus’
words (v. 3). The disciples already
were cleansed by Christ’s words, for
Judas the traitor had been cast out.
If the believer’s life Is to be fruitful In
character and service the pruning
knife, Christ’s words, must be Intelli
gently and regularly applied.
II. The Conditions of Fruit Bearing
(vt. 4-7).
The charm that exists in good furniture is not a
fleeting beauty, like the rose; but one that endures and
improves with age. In selecting dining room furniture
especially, it is advisable to consider beauty and qual
ity more than price, because one rarely buys a second
dining room suite if the original selection was properly
made. The difference between furniture that will
give lasting satisfaction and furniture that soon grows
old, is a small one in dollars and cents, and will even
cost you less just at this time, as we are offering special
prices on a number of especially good suites. You will
do well to see these as it means quite a saving.

pointment of Attorney General Stone
to the Supreme Bench.
What disturbs those that" oppose
the nomination ?
How much of the opposition is due
to the fact that as soon as he was ap
pointed Mr. Stone proceeded to select
competent lawyers, to dig into the
war frauds, instead of letting the
grafters rest in peace.
And how much of the opposition is
due to Attorney General Stone’s at
titude toward the combination of har
vester manufacturers and other con
cerns that do not like to be disturbed?

Almerindo Portfolio, once a $3-a-
week errand boy, gives a business of
$7,000,000 to his employees, charging
them ‘‘not to be clock watchers.”
Mr. Portfolio need not worry. The
workers w:!l stop clock watching, now
that they are the business. To the
owner, hours means profits; to the
salaried man, hours mean a nearer
approach to freedom.
To make men stop clock watching,

ture with a moral platitude, for you
cannot.

III. The Blessed Issue of a Fruitful
Life (vv. 8-17).
1. The Glorification of the Father (v.
8). Through much fruit-bearing, the
Father will be glorified (Matt. 5:16).
2. Credentials of Discipleship (v. 8).
The only way to prove that one Is a
child of God Is to manifest the charac
teristics of God In one’s acts and serv
ice.
3. Abiding in Christ’s Love and
Keeping His Commandments (vv. 9,
10). The way to abide In Christ’s love
Is to keep His commandments. The
one who Aglects the words of Christ
is destitute of His love. It Is folly to
lalk of being In the love of Christ
while disobeying His teachings.
4. Fulness of Joy (▼. 11). The way
to have fulness of Joy is to have
Christ’s joy In us.
5. Loving one another (vv. 12, 13).
The one who abides In Christ and has
the life of Christ flowing into him will
live a life of love, will love his fellow-
man, especially his brother in Christ.
6. Friends of Christ (vv. 14. 15).
Christ’s friends do whatsoever He
commands. Being thus obedient He
takes us into His confidence and
makes known unto us the Heavenly
Father’s will.
7. perpeutal Fruit-Bearing In Love,
With Power in Prayer (vv. 1G, 17).
