'TEENS AND TWENTIES'
By EXPERIENCE the child soon
finds that food satisfies hunger,
that water quenches thirst, that
u hard blow gives him pain.
As he grows older lie learns that
his own actions produce certain results
which to him are pleasant or
unpleasant.
As a child he avoids doing things
thut cause him bodily pain.
If he burns his hand or cuts his
finger, he dreads fire and sharp- '
edged tools. He knows that if he
takes undue liberties with them he
Is sure to suffer physically and men-,
tally.
?
Deductive reasoning in children at
the age of three or four years Is as
keen as the edge of a razor, but
through some trick of time when
they merge into their 'teens, their
childish caution flits away and
leuves them imprudent and venturesome.
They flash a red light to warn the
old folks to beware of the wisdom
and superior cunning of youth.
'Teens and twenties are the formative,
red-light ages in which both
sexes, consciously or uncousciousl}*.
shape their destinies.
If in these dangerous ages indulgent
parents permit their offspring to have
unrestricted freedom, allow them to
have their own way at the turning
point of the right or the wrong road,
the chances are that they will waste
their time and substance and drift
through life without forming even a
nodding acquaintance with success.
To you who are In these perilous I
periods, running along madly in pursuit
of elusive nymphs of pleasure,
"stop, look and listen!"
Stop to consider what you are
doing. Look abou^ you at those who
are climbing the hills. See how cautiously
they step. Listen to the words
of wisdom, and especially to the advice
of your elders.
They have trod the worldly way

3IR. TAFT'S AMBITION
FROM the day he left law school it
was the ambition of William H.
Taft to be chief Justice of the !
Supreme Court of the United States.
Through the years, Mr. Tuft bent
his energies to the achievement of that
ambition. He became a judge early in
life, und made good record.
He left the bench for service under
, President Roosevelt, believing that
through work for the nation he would
be better able to reach his goal.
When he was offered the post of secretary
of war, Mr. Taft made it known
to Mr. Roosevelt that he would prefer
a place on the Supreme bench.
No place was open at that time and
he accepted the secretaryship with the
understanding that his ambition might
be gratified luter.
Then the exigencies of politics made
him a candidate for the presidency, an
honor no American of ability is likely
to refuse.
Mr. Tuft became President, yet his
real unibltion hnd not been achieved.
Now he has been Riven the post he
so long wanted, and will, most people
believe, fill It with great credit.
Of course, few men cun single out a
particular high post as the object of a
life ambition with uny hope of attaining
it.
Yet it was because Mr. Taft wanted
to be chief justice that he developed
the ability tliaf made him first governor
of the Philippines, then a sort of
roving commissioner for Mr. Roosevelt,
and later secretary of war.
If lie had not wanted, with all his
heart, to be chief justice, be would
never have been President. Contentment
with a federal judgeship would
have kept him always in Ohio.
The golfer who plays a strong,
steady game, sometimes achieves the
well-nigh impossible and makes a hole
in one. The careless, half-interested
golfer never does.

THE HAND OF AN ARTIST
FOR. a person of either sex to win
success in any of the various
fields of music, literature, etc.?
the hand should be supple, and the
fingers should be long. Short fingers
denote want of attention to details, and
this Is, of course. In the majority of
cases, fatal to the hopes of success
In art. "Genius Is an Infinite capacity
for tnklng pains"- Is true In art.
Other favorable signs are the fol-1
lowing:
A small upper phalnnx of the thumb.
If, In addition, the thumb is very flat,
the fortunate possessor has an exceptionally
favorable thumb for an artist.
If the middle phalanx of the second
finger, the Finger of Saturn, is
well formed and well developed, and
long, It Is a sign of greut love of the
beautiful In nature.
Tiie top phalanx of the third finger,1
the Finger of Apollo, should be strong,

LYRICSOF LIFE

THE LAST CHAPTER
THE hunter's Joy is In the tale,
More great than in the kill;
The sailor rides the wintry gale
Not for the wintry thrill
But thut at night-tline he may sit
Before the fire recounting it
For this men climh the steepest mount
And walk the widest plain,
And bring to firesides an account
Of all the toil and pain?
The toil and pain made pleasure when
They tell the tale to other men.
For Memory Is a healing nurse
Who makes our minds forget
The rocks and rivers that we curse?
i Nn we remember yet,
And yet remember rather glad
For every hurt we ever had.
Life's an Adventure, like the trail,
The cruise across the seas;
It has Its hill, It has Its gale,
, It has Its memories;
And we shall sit In quiet age
Made glad by every blotted page.
Yes, Time shall soften every fall
And leave the story dear.
Life shall be lovely, after all,
The hurts shall disappear;
Without occasional defeat
Life's story had not been complete.

BOY SCOUTS PLAY SANTA CLAUS
Last year Akron (O.) scouts collected
and distributed 900 toys among
the poor children of the city. This
year they raised the nnmber to 1,500.
For weeks they canvassed the city for
old toys, dolls, sleds, etc., which they
painted, repaired and made to look as
cood as new to delight the hearts of
the kiddles on Christmas morning.
This kind of good turn Is being quite
generally practiced throughout the
country. Other cities reporting similar
Santa Clous service on the part
of scouts were Louisville, K.v.; Cincinnati,
0? and Butte, Mont. The Cincinnati
council got out an attractive
poster In the name of "Santa Claus
Co.. Inc.," bespeaking the public cooperation
In handing over old toys, to
the boy scouts for repafrlng and redistribution
under the auspices of the
Associated Charities. The Butte
scouts established a regular toy hospital
at their headquarters, to which
the papers gave considerable publicity.
SCOUTS MAKE TRAFFIC SURVEY
The city planning commission of
Grand lUtplds. Mich., recently invited
the Boy Scouts of America to conduct
a traffic survey. This was accomplished
In so thorough and satisfactory
a manner tlmt the boys won
high praise not only from the city
planning department but from all who
saw the boys at their work. The
count was checked up by men from
the traffic safety council and was
found In only one Instance to have
been Inaccurate. Hugh E. E.vncn,
secretary of the commission. In thanking
Scout Executive Walker for the
boys' services, said thnt he regretted
thnt every boy could not have the
benefit of scout training, because be
could see In watching the boys at
work how fnr-reaching the Influence
of the movement was and what n
genuine contribution to citizenship
training.
EXPLORE UNCHARTED SWAMPS
A group of scouts and scout officials,
representatives of the National
Geographic society and newspaper
men from Atlanta and other Georgia
towns went on :m exploring expedition
last November into the hitherto
uncharted Okefenokee swamps to
Investigate Its wild life.
TO GIVE SERVICE MEDAL
The board of trustees of the village
of Bronxville, N. Y., has voted to
award u "Village Medal" every year
to the boy scout whose record at
school, at home, at work (If employed)
and in scouting activities indicates
the most promise and achievement and
one in whom the village may justly
take real pride. The name of the
scout who Is so honored will be placed
on a permanent tablet in the trustee's
room of the village hall.
SCOUTS SAVE BUILDINGS
When a group of boy scouts in
Broken Arrow, Okln., were gathered
at a troop meeting, word was brought
that a fire hurl broken out in the vicinity
which was endangering many
buildings, as the high wind was blowing
cinders from roof to roof. Instantly
the hoys, under their assistant
scoutmaster, were mobilized for service
with "A Scout ?"r Every Roof" as
their slogan. Fire Chief Walker later
reported that the scouts* action un
doubtodly saved several houses.

tlCB.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
?Industrial Unrest and Its Cure.
The movements leading up to the
division of the kingdom begun during
Solomon's reign. Solomon was led
astray by his heathen wives. His Introduction
of idolatry displeased the
Lord, and the Lord made known to
him the fact that the kingdom was to
be rent from blni.
I. The People's Demand (vv. 1-4).
This was occasioned by the burden
of excessive taxation and enforced
labor required by Solomon In order to
build costly houses and temples for
hts heathen wive?. Owing, to the multiplicity
of his wives, this became very
burdensome. The\people were groaning
under Its weight. 'Upon the accession
of the new king, Rehoboam.
the people through their leader, Jeroboam,
came with the request that
their burdens be made lighter, promising
loyalty to him on the condition of
lightened burdens.
II. Rehoboam's Foolish Decision
(vv. 5-15).
1. Rehoboam consulted with the oia
men (vv. 5-7). He at once consulted
the old men of experience who had
been Solomon's advisers. Being acquainted
with the conditions as imposed
by Solomon, and knowing the
temper of the people, they advised
that the people's request be granted.
S. Rehoboam consulted the young
mtn who had growtt up with him ^v.
8-11). These young men were most
likely half-brothers, sons of Solomon's
many wives. Being thus brought up
In the luxury of the harem, they were
Ignorant of the real rights of the people
; therefore they advised that the
burdens be Increased.
8. Rehoboam follows the advice ol
the young men (vv. 12-15). At the appointed
time he announced his purpose
to the people. He answered them
I roughly, asserting his purpose to Increase
their burdens and sorrows
Rehoboam lost the great opportunltj
of his life.
III. The Revolt of the Ten Tribe?
(vv. 16-24).
Upon Rehoboam's atxiouneeraent ol
his rash purpose, all l&.ael cried out
I ?'\Vhof nnrtfnn have we in Davldl
Neither have we un Inheritance in thi
son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel!
Now see to thine own house, David.'
Ilehoboam's attempt to collect tribute
from the ten tribes was met by stom
Ing Adoram, the tribute gatherer, sc
that he died. Rehoboam's failure tc
heed the advice of experienced men
caused the work of two generations tc
be unHone In a moment.
IV. Jeroboam's Suostitute Religion
(vv. 25-33).
1. He established calf-worship (vv.
25-33). (1) His pretext for (vv. 2(3, 27).
He feared lest the religious unity
should heal tne political separation.
His plea was that the people would
go bnck to Jerusalem to worship, and
therefore would gradually be led to
acknowledge allegiance to Rehoboam,
and his own life would be tuken. This
act ot' his had its root in his heart of
unbelief. God hud promised through
the Prophet Ahijah to build him a
sure house, even as he had built for
David (I Kings 11:38). Hud he believed
God, this fear would have been
dispelled. Jeroboum only used religion
to secure personul ends. He
wus too shrewd a pditiciun to do
away with religion. He knew that religion
was a powerful factor in man's
life. (2) The calves set up (vv. 28-30).
When Jerobonm set up these idols he
said, "It is too much for you to go up
to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O
Israel, which brought thee up out of
Egypt." His religion was the religion
of convenience, which Is very prominent
today.
2. His scheme of worship (vv.
31-33). (1) He built houses of high
places (v. 31). Tffis was against the
direct command of God. God had directed
his people to destroy the high
places, to break down the idolatrous
cities; but Jeroboam, moved by the demands
of his sinful heart, disobeyed
God. (2) He made priests of the lowest
of the people (v. 31). God had set
aside the tribe of Levi to fill the office
of priesthood. In this again, he disobeyed
God. (3) He changed the day
of the feast of the tnbernnele (v. 32).
The time of this feast was set by
Jehovah (Lev. 23:33-34). Jeroboam,
no doubt, thought that the change In
the time would he better suited to
that northern climate, but God who
made the climate ordained the time of
the feast. (4) Jeroboam himself Intrudes
Into the priest's oflice (v. 33).
This act of presumption on his part
was the climax of his godless acts.
All this grew out of a wicked heart.
Within the Temple.
If there is sorrow or adversity In
your life, Is It not possible that the
Master Is desiring to bring you Into
the love and fellowship of the temple
of the living God? Do not resist
the promptings of the Holy Spirit,
who would lead you into all truth,
and into the true fellowship that
should exist between the children and
their v loving Father. What misery
there Is outside the gate! What happiness
and joy within the temple o/
liis love!
