* Queer Ci T olst< ? They Practice Doukhobors Idealism, With a Mingled Belief in Buddhism. MANUAL LABOR A RELIGION Declared Enemies \of Destruction of Property, Human or Animal Life, / and Oppose Soviet Government. Yasnaya Polyana, Russia.?Fifteen ;oung men, two young women and an elderly matron have recently established on the Tolstoy estate what they * term "an Improved bolshevik community." ' Described as an attempt to rectify failure of communism, the members of the colony are the declared ' v enemies of the destruction of property, human or animal life, and thus are arrayed against the soviet government. The members of the colony make a religion of manual labor and declare its chief tenet to be embodied In the phrase "Love thy neighbor as thyself." They declare themselves, like Count Tolstoy, "searchers for the truth In all things." They arrived here in early * September with a permit from Moscow to occupy a portion of the estate npw classed as a national institution. Teacher Organizes Movement A teacher, whose brother is director of the colony, organized the movement. The 18 members, all of whom profess tlw? practical Idealism of the Doukhobors sect, with a mingled belief in Buddhism, were alloted quarters in a once handsome but now tumble-down one-story building of the estate built in 1780 for the serfs of Prince Volkon?!?

D.. 1 Teacher of English Bible in the Moody ( Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright. 1922, Western Newspaper Union. ( ~ I LESSON FOR JANUARY 22 .J ELIJAH'S FLIGHT AND RETURN. LESSON TEXT?I Kings 19:1-21. GOLDEN TEXT?I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and J heard my cry.?Ps. 40:1. REFERENCE MATERIAL?Ezek. 2:1-7; Acts 16:6-10; 18:1-11. PRIMARY TOPIC?God Sends an Angel to Help Elijah. JUNIOR TOPIC?God Strengthens Ell|ah. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?Jehovah's Champion Encouraged. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Finding and Finishing Our Task. Tills lesson story proves Elijah to have been a man of like pusslons as we nre (Jas. 5:17). 1. Elijah's Flight (vv. 1-14). Upon Ahah's return from the excitement on Mount Oarmel, he told his wife all that Eliinh had done?that even all her prophets had been hewn to pieces hy the sword. This so enraged her that she sent a message of death to Elljuh, who seems to have been waiting at the gate (vv. 1, 2). This was clearly a hlufT on Jezebel's part. Though Elijah had courageously stood before the king and the priests of Baal, he now cowered before this woman and fled for his life. He seems to have failed at his strongest point. 1. Elijah under the Juniper tree (vv. 3-7). The Juniper tree was a shrub of the desert which afforded shelter and protection to travelers from the burning sun hy day and the cold wind by night. (1) His request (v. 4). This was that he might die. This was, no doubt, a foolish thing for him to say, but let us be as considerate toward him us was God.- The discouragement, and even despondency, of Elijah was due to the nervous strain of about four years of unusual service for God, which culminated on Mount Carniel. Such nervous reaction Is to be expected. (2) God's tender treatment (vv. 5-7). (a) He gave him sleep (v. 5). "He glveth His beloved sleep" (Psa. 127:2). (b) He sent an aufrel to cook Elijah's meal (vv. fl, 7). The angel of the Lopd Is usually understood to be the second member of the Holy Trinity. If this be correct, then we see JehovahJesus preparing food for His servant Elijah, as He afterward did for His discouraged disciples by Galilee (John 21:10). God again gave him sleep, and nt the proper time again gave him food. Though Elijah wanted to die, God had something better for him, for In a 'ater day He met him with the "chariot of tl?? Lord" and took him to heaven untouched by death. 2. Elijah nt Horeb (vv. 8-14). God had klndy ministered to His discouraged prophet so that be would he In a fit rendition to receive the needed Instruction and correction. Elijah had erred In running away from his field of ministry. (1) God's Interview with Elijah In the cave (vv. 9. 10). (a) God's question (v. 9). "What doest thou here, JMIJMII I IIIM MTl* ? si.iigiiifj though most kindly given. It implied that His appointed messenger was now far away from the field of duty. Elijah was not where God wanted him, hut God sought hi in where lie was. How blessed to know that "A Godforsaking saint Is not a God-fprsaken saint!" (h) Elijah's answer (v. 10). Elijah tried to vindicate himself by asserting his Jealous loyalty to Godthat In spite of nil this the people had not only rejected his message and dishonored God. but had sought to destroy him. (2) God's Interview with Elijnli on the Mount (vv. 11-14). While standing before the Lord on the mount, God caused n mighty demonstration of wind, earthquake and fire to pass before him to show unto him the nature of the work which he had been doing for God. and to show hltn what was lacking in his work for the fullest attainment of success. Elijah had about him much of the whirlwind, earthquake and fire. Ills work had been terrifying and alarming, but it lacked In gentleness and love. This object lesson In the ways of God's working Is a needed message for this age, which Is so wonderfully characterized by noise and clamor. The world is not "taken for Christ" by the fleshly energy and enthusiasm of conventions and commit tees, but hv the quiet hearts wbo go forth proclaiming ("Sort's* Word In the /energy of the Iloly Spirit. II. Elijah'e Return (vv. 15-1S). Though Elijah hart erred, Curt brought him again Into llis service. How comforting to know that Cod does not reject His servants because of their failures in times of despondency! He deals with them after the motive of their hearts. Elijah was nourished and instructed by the I.ord nr.d then sent on n high mission. God Is n tine psychologist. He took Elijah oat of himself by giving him a new commission. The most healing ministry Is that of work. .Many bereaved ones have been Pfted out of themselves by active ministry to others. Before God would come In His chariot to take Elijah homo. He set him upon a threefold ministry: 1. To anoint Haznel king over Syria (v. 15). 2. To anoint Jehu king over Israel (v. 10). 3. To anoint Ellshn as his own sucressor In the I'rophet's room (w. 10-21). Make Requests Known Unto God. "In everything by prnyer and supplication let your requests he made known unto Hod." There Is absolutely no restriction as to the kind of business that Is to bring us to the throne of grace, and so of course, there Is no excuse for keeping any kind of a burden to ourselves. It Is not only about what we call religious matters, or what we call Important matters, that we are permitted to go unto God. Whatever touches our lives Is of concern to our heavenly Father. SUITS FOR LATE KNICKERS AP SPRINT; has sfvernl things up Its sleeve In the way of Innovations and pleasant surprises In suits. IVe are promised that things "new and different" are to come within the range of the styles. Given three guessps, the fashion expert will probably predict: many three-piece, along with two-piece suits, the Introduction of Ingenious sleeves, contrasting cloths In collars and cuffs, to replace fur or other winter trimmings, and an emphasis on sport styles?Including many suits with knickers and capes In their composition. The use of home. 6 Premonitioi spun?, tweeds, jersey cloth In thes< suits follows as a matter of course But sport suits are another story. There Is a premonition of spring It the late winter suits shown In th< Illustration?In their outlines and eer tain details of their making?as In th< treatment of the waistline, choice o material and general Jauntlness o style. They might take a place nraonj conservative spring models by th( pimple expedient of taking off their fui finishings and replacing them wltl cloth. If one. must, have a suit or tw< for the period between seasons, elthe of these will prove a safe choice. Thi *uit at the left is of Poiret twill with fo: fur In collar and cuffs and band of trim ming on the coat. The stralght-lim loose coat holds an assured place li spring styles, so this suit Is a good In vestment. The skirt Is provided wltl a deep hem and may be lengthened t the regulation eight Inches from th< floor. The youthful suit at the right, wit New Styles Its flaring box coat, merely needs to replace Its fur collar with a throw collar of cloth and to dispense with Its pockets or to make them of cloth, to accomodate Itself to spring weather and spring styles. Now Is the time of year when It Is possible to get away from the winter of our discontent, even If we do not go farther than to the nearoof lint irnnris afore on n shonnlne tour. CPl J ?-i .
