Either at the beginning of Isaiah's ministry or later when called to a deeper experience, he had a vision of Uw majesty and holiness of the living God. The leading lesson is that a real sight of the living God discloses the sinfulness of man. Lesson for April 14. . In leading the people back to God Heseklah proclaimed a passover. The passover waa a memorial of the na tions deliverance through the shed ding of the blood of a sacrificial lamb. The lamb typified Christ The only iray for a sinning and divided people to get back to God and be united Is around the crucified J^ord. Lesson for April 21. '*«■• Isaiah sought to comfort the pea .pie by assuring them that the Lord God as the Messiah was coming to reign over the earth, And deliver them from bondage, and shepherd them. .The only possible deliverance from the world Is the coming of Jesus Christ and the establishment of Ills Kingdom?' M Lesson for April 28. j Salvation of God’s people was to be accomplished through the suffering of their Messiah. At Christ’s first com ing He suffered the penalty of our sin. His suffering resulted in a spiritual progeny. Life out of death is the law governing the universe—natural and spiritual. Lesson for May 5. While the temple was In process of renovation, the law of God was found and read to the king. This brought great disturbance to his mind as he realized the enormity of the nation s sins. God’s Word has power to con vict of sin and effect a revival. Lesson for May 12. God called Jeremiah before he was born, overcame his timidity, and sent him to warn his people of coming Judgment Though violently opposed and persecuted, God delivered him. Lesson for May 19. Jeremiah called the people to obedi ence to God’s Word. The only way to avert God’s judgment Is to return goto Him and render obedience. Lesson for May 26. God will restore Israel to Palestine.

HEIGHT LIMIT OF Skyscraper near Elevator Demands Make Lofty Towers Unprofitable. New York.—Where 100,000 men once spent 20 years building u pyra mid for the Pharaohs, a thousand men now rear a modern skyscraper fiO stories into the air in a single year. But where the Pharaohs raised their monuments to stand for all time, the Mfe of the modern monument to commerce Is fixed at years. Chil dren who watch these lofty towers reaching toward the sky today In New York. Chicago and a score of other cities will, as middle-aged ad ults. see them leveled again. The explanation Is that the aver age skyscraper Is being built compar atively as cheaply as a subdivision bungalow beat use the builder cannot afford to lake chances on the course of rapidly changing land values as the American city changes Ita course of growth, points out Silas Bent In World's Work. They cannot risk sinking a fortune In a giant office structure only to And that within 10 or 15 years the district has changed from a commercial one to a manu facturing center. They also cannot risk encumbering land that may rise many tlmta In value with a building that may be antiquated within a dec ade. Whether the 75-story skyscraper soon to be erected In Chicago will mark the ultimate In lofty construc tion. or whether It will be surp&***d by a 110-story tower projected In New York and by others still higher. Is a problem Interestingly discussed by Mr. Bent While theoretically there Is no Mm It to which builders may not aspire today, there Is a rigid economic limit at which such buildings cease to be profitable, he show’s. And the limit Is due to one of the chief factors that made the 8kyscrn[»er possible—the elevatog. ^ , » “The taller the building, the great er must be the number of elevators to accommodate the tenants.** he >nt In the World's Work article: “Now where ground rentals are enormous the space given over to ele vators becomes an Item of moment In cities of a million population It Is calculated that the 20 story building Is about as lofty as Is consistent with economic construction. Only where land values are abnormal, or where there Is exceptional advertising value In mere height, are more stories Justified.** A building so high that It roust give a third or half of Its ground space over to elevator shafts would necessarily be far more costly than one only two-thirds as high, and not ns profitable, he shows. So that nn less engineers devise some apparent ly impossible means of Indoor trans portation for the tens of thousands of inhabitants, the skyscraper soon will have reached its positive limit REDUCED SUMMER FADES NOW IN EFFECT $ 44££<r/> POUND TRIP ^ CHARUST0N Going and returning by direct Hearner with meals and berth included In fare.
