Dr. Crane recently passed away at N%ce, France. Before leaving for Europe he had prepared a number of articles in advance. A/ancv Hart Why not a re-decorated room for the children’s major Christmas gift— a room full of life and color and in terest that they will remember as long as they live? ^ It there is dark, grown-up furni ture now in the room, treat it to a coat of paint or lacquer in some fresh color; use inexpensive chintz draperies in nursery patterns or a map design with interesting old-world scenes. Bring in pictures that tell a story—not cast off scenes from other rooms—for pictures do so much to form character. Such subjects as “The Holiday” or “Children of the Sea”, “Sir Galahad,” “Fairy Tales,” "With Grandma” are all favorites with the youngsters and possess tnie artistic worth, even in inexpensive color reproductions which you can find at almost any art store—»and you can frame them simply with passe partout.

The man we feel most grateful toward and regard most kindly is the one who does us a generous act and never says anything about it We find it out by accident and our hearts warm to him. , man who is always saying, I am going to do this and that for you but does not do it, is a flunky. He wants the praise for generosity, but does not deliver the goods. So, the man who most truly reforms is the man who quits doing wrong, not thp man who makes great promises. Most drunkards and most leaders of disorderly lives elsewise are great promisers. They will tell you, while in their cups, that they are never going to drink another drop. But the kind of reform today that we believe in is that of the man who quits doing wrong and makes no boast about it except to show his regret. I It is human to err and to make mistakes. But when we have done so the most righteous thing we can do is to quit, not to pray and not to promise, nor to resolve. The first thing needed in a wrong doer is to quit his wrong doing. * W e are not going to turn for help toji higher power until w< ha\e ceased our wrong doing. The Bible says this of the first thing necessary: 44 Let the evil man forget his ways and the unrighteous man his thoughts/’ ► ScHootLesso# RIDS HAIR OF PESTS I have a request for a remedy for this worst affliction that can come to school children and know the fol lowing to be a certain cure: I Ask any druggist to prepare a solu tion of nsh berries and whiskey or its equivalent in diluted akobol spirits (not wood alcohol, remember). Thoroughly saturate child’s hair and head.* One application will kill both insects and eggs, but repeat several times to be sure all infested spots arc reached. Comb with fine-tooth comb to remove all trace of pest. Sterilize hats and caps by immersing in gaso line. A Brotherly Team! 9 m -V 2V International Sunday School Lesson for December 16 PAUL AND HIS FRIENDS Philemon 8-21 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D. All of Philemon should be read and it will not take long for there is only ope chapter to this epistle. It is one of the fou» letters written by Paul during the first imprisonment at Rome. It was probably dispatched at the same time as Ephesians and Tychicus was one of the messengers (Eph. 6:21-23; Col. 4:7-9), \ Paul as a world citizen had many friends. Twenty-two persons are here named in ten verses and there are 71 named by him in the Acts and his epistles. One was Philemon of Colosse who had probably found the truth in Jesus Christ when Paul was working in Ephesus and vicinity during a two year mission. , \ Onesimus was a slave who ran away from Philexpon and finally reached the great city of Rome. He may havelearned of i*^ul and sought audience with him “in his own hired house” for all had accesSvto him. Or, it may be that, learning of Paul whom he had served when Visiting his master in Colosse, he came to hear without being seen and Pat*J remem bered him at first glance for his kindly attention in the past. The whole story is soon told. Paul gave him all the attentipn possible and makes clear the truth^of^ salvation asjt^isVn Christ, showi JJ| that * man can ^ ave bound to a soldier and a slave of Jesus Christ? And yet his soul is indeed and he is carrying on a very extensive ministry. The only manly thing is for Onesimus to return to Philemon. There is\he added problem, for evidently some goods were stolen at the time. Th^n Paul, having urged him to make the right decision, plans the most favorable approach possible by writing a letter in friendship to his former host ahd continued well-wisher. Read again how Paul plays upon the per sonal ahd asks that Onesimus be received in his place. The stolen goods are mentioned and Paul, thougH needing every coin, offers to make gqod in behalf of flic slave. Since acquittal is evidently close at hand the Apostle says that hetyjpes to follow the letter soon and requests that a bed be made ready for * * In all this we have a fine expression of the Brotherhood of Man through Jesus Chfist the Elder Brother. When all follow these principles of adjustment of difficulties the “joy of the Lord” (vs. 20) will indeed be shed abroad. Therk never can be another world war when mankind fol lows this Pauline spirit what happened when Onesimus reached Colosse. when he sav direct approach the matter * Naturally we won ___ If Philemon was surpriaed when he saw his direct ap. was explained as PauFs letter was read. - Appeal had been made to the master’s Christianity and it was announced that the slave had also become a believer. Surely the lash fras not used that night and trust was never abused h> the future.
