AEMORY VArl-SgI-Jesuis advanced in wisd10m and stature and In favor with -od and man.-luke 2:52. INTElMEDIATI, TOPIC-The import ance of small beginnings. -TCsUS is now revealing to his (dsel pIes the kingdoni in secret which they were later to reveal in public. Noth ing which he now reveals should be hid, and he is also teaclling that. if we do not use that what is cominitted to us, we lose it. 1. Hearing (vv. 21-2~). It is an ob liartoin esting uona each of us who has the light of truth that he should .o sot it belfore inen that it can he svein that menoi llmay be Vill ight ened, cheeed and served by it (Matt. 5:14 10; Phil. 1:15-16). The seeret things of our lives will be brought to light som ly. Ears are given with whileh we are to hear, and possession of hear Ing involves the responsihility as to what we hear. "The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that helieveth" (Rom. 1:16), but believing comes through "hearing" (Ron. 10:17). In this there is a mis ionary suggestion for our teachers, but there is also a caution as td what and how we hear. "Take heed what we hear." Many today are being swept into all kinds of daniling here sles because they do not follow this warning (2 Tim. 3:1-13). Not only are we to be good listeners, but we must be doers as well (Jas. 1:22). This parable of the lamp follows closely upon the parable of the sower in our last lesson. "God, who first cre ated light, and Christ, in whom was life, and the life was the light of men," both together are ones whom we are equally obliged to see, and hear and obey. To impress the duty of this seeing, hearing and using of light upon his disciples, Jesus reminds them of some familiar things. A can (lIe Is not placed under a bushel nor under a bed, but on a candle stick, where It may be seen of all. If our virtues go not forth from us, it will be as though we had hidden them from the world. "To him that heareth right shall more be given," (v. 24) but for him that hath not and seeth not, from him shall be taken. le that hath not is he who neglects his opportunities, and "from him shall he taken even that which hie hath." I'n this we see a spiritual multiplication, and also a spiritual subtraction, de Sterioration, I1. Growing. (1) Secrecy vv. 26-20), This is a panrabile of faith and hope, found onily in Mark. Again the good seedi is referred to, but in this cast unseen growth receives the emphasis for the seed will spring and grow up though we know not howv. It is comi forting to think that, if we sow th( true seed, it grows while we sleef (v. 27.) Tile best selected seed (th< holy word) is essential for results. All of our seed must have this silent pe rlod for growth. It is the earth thai brings forth the fruit of hierseli thr'ough tihe energies andl powers witli which God endows it, These powern are wonderful. We (10 not ulnderstand them, hbut there Is ordler and sy'mmetry in growvth. First the blade, then thn -ear, and afier that the full corn irl the ear. Then is the harvest, tie pulrpiose oif the seed having been ac comiplished. Mark alone gives us tis pairablle, aind it is given In close reia ion toi the pairabile of the sower and (if the wvheat and tares. Jesus is the great harvester (v. 29), aind knows the right time to r'eapi the grain, the nio mlent when it is "ripe" (v. 29 R., V.), Then lie putteth in the sickle. (2) There is also a marvelous out. wardl growth of the kingdom (vy. 30 32). There is tihe closest relation be tween the parable of the * muistard seed andl the two parables that proe cedhe. In Matthew the parable of the mustaird seed is used in relation to the kingdom of heaven, which is the sphere of the Christian profession. Here it Is used of the kingdom of God, which Is spiriturl. Why is it used of both? The explanation, according to Doctor Scofield, lies In the fact that the kingdom of God in this age andI the kingdom of heaven have tis~ in ('ommiion, thait from an insignificant beginninig they had a rapid growth. If the abinormal growvth of this commilon garden shrub illustrates di Ivine Increase, why is It not more glori. ouis? There is not here anything like the greatness of the Assyriani and Babylonian empire's. (Ezek. 31 :3-l; Dan. -1:20-22). Is the significance of the bird'ts goodl or evil? Great Hahly lon, the fIgure of a professing Chis. tian body in guilty coninection! withi the kings of the earth, becomes "a enge of every unclean andh hate fuhl bihrd" (Rev. '18 :2). The "miixedh" condition of the kingdIom of heaven has 'roulght together diverse elements of good and hba.

COTHRAN MADE MAJOR: Some inside Information as Regards Legal Procedure in the Army-Quite Different from That of Civil Courts. Camp Sevier.-Private Charles H. Lupton, 105th Supply Train, will short ly be commissioned a first. lieutenant in the Medical Reserve Corps. Mr. Lupton is a graduate physician. There have been several similar cases in which men were commissioned from the ranks. The very first of its operation, the cafeteria of the Hostess House proved a popular place, and the several visit ing ladies who dropped in for a bito with their soldior relatives or friends declared themselves delighted to have such a place within the camp itself as a rendezvous. The mess hall of Company C, 105th Engineers, was destroyed by fire, and only good work by the entire regiment saved the shack of Company B, which caught fire several times, from being consumed also. Scarcely before the ashes had .grown cold. replacing the building was commenced, and by night fall the side timbers were well up. The cause of the fire has not yet been ascertained. Y. M. C. A. Unit No. 85, at the 59th Brigade, was closed for 36 hours, the educational secretary, B. G. Davis, having suddenly become very ill with pneumonia and what may be a compli cation of meningitis. Mr. Davis is in the base hospital, and is critically ill, although hopes are entertained for his recovery. Capt. Perrin C. Cothran, originally of Greenwood, S. C., and until recent ly adjutant of the 105th Engineers, has been made a major, National Guard, to rank from January 30, and has been placed in command of the first battalion of the regiment, vice Major John H. Finney, relieved. Capt. Clarence E. Boesch, formerly com manding Co. B., has been made regi mental adjutant in Capt. Cothran's tilace. Legal procedure in the army, as It is in some respects quite different from that of civil courts, should be of general interest at present. To begin with, there is no separate judge and jury, the court .performing both these functions. Minor offenses, the maxi mum penalty for which is not more than three months' imprisonment, are tried by a summary court, consi-ting of one officer. There is such a court for each regiment or smaller unit. More serious offenses, but for which the maximum penalty is six months' imprisonment or less, are tried by a special court, consisting of from three to five officers, while all other offenses are tried by general courts martial, composed of from five to thirteen of ficers, specially constituted for that particular offense, and which have the power to impose even capital punish ment. These courts conduct the cases, tule upon the evidence, decide upon the guilt of the accused, and fix the sen tence. The conduct of the case is about like that in civil courts, the ac cused having the right to refuse to answver questions tending to incrimi nate himself, and being allowed the assistance of council, an officer being dlesignated to act as such if he has not procuredl a civilian attorney. He has also the right .to object to any of the officers who constitute the court, and if he has good reason they willl be r'e placed with ethers satisfactory to him. In one respect he is better off than in a civil trial, as :there is no *nmit to the number of such objections, but the reasons given must be substantiated. Sentences of courts martial are re viewed by the commanding general of the division, who 'has the power to re duice sentences, but not to increase them. In case he thinks the sentence of the court unduly light, he may send it back for reconsideration, with his reasons 'for refusing to confirm it, but if the court stands firm in its origi nal position, he must then confirm it. Often persons indicted for desertion are convicted merely of absence with out leave. To -prove desertion, the in tent not to return must be proved, and as this frequently does not exist, and is always difficult to prove, the man Is convicted of the lighter offense. Wh~erever possible, the soldier is re tained in the service, and only when the evidence shows moral turpitude unfitting him for the life of a soldier is the cuprit dishonorably discharged in addition to receiving other punish mont. An emplacement for a full battery of four guns is under construction by the field artillery brigadle, the work going fordward slowly so that each unit may clearly see every part of the construction. There are four emplacements proper, one for each gun. these consisting of firing plat forms slightly above .the ground level, heavily housed about with logs on the sides, and with a hole in front, through which to fire. These works are being banked with earth and before it is con sidered complate the whole must be so concealed with brush that nothing un usual can be snhn a a shor dance.
