Read The Advs. In The Messenger Some Animals Can Go Long Periods Without Foods. The capacity for men and animals for fasting is always an interesting subject and one on which the last word has not been said, especially in view of the fact that our ideas as to the requisite essentials of diet have been much modified by the researches made during the last few years and particularly by our newly acquired knowledge of the part played by vitamines. Some curious facts with respect to the capacity for fasting as exhibited by various animals are cited by Siegmund Urabin in a late number of the Umschau (Frankfurt), says the American Review of Reviews. He be gins by observing: “The power of the camel to do with out water for weeks and of the giant snakes to live for more than a year without taking food is regarded in most works on zoology as represent ing specific peculiarities of these ani mals. But if there were a general knowledge of the ability of many ani mals to fast for very long periods of time these instances would not be overemphasized. It is indeed gener ally known that even mammals are able to fast for months during their winter hibernation, but It seems to be almost unknown among the lower animals. The power of fasting Is much more widespread in them than was formerly supposed.” Mr. Urabin then refers to an ex perience of his youth when he put certain snails which had already with- \ drawn into their shells and closed the opening thereof, as is their custom, ! into a box, whereupon he forgot them : for a period of more than a year and a half. He supposed they were in- i evitably dead, but when he put them I into a vessel filled with water, much to his surprise, they came out of their shells and crawled gayly about on the table. Experience, a Great Teacher By REV. W. TAYLOR JOYCE Director of Practical Work, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. -H TEXT—I have learned by experience. —Gen. 30:27. Rev- W. T. Joyce. Why Fly Swatters Are Needed During Winter There is evidence that flies survive the winter in the larva and pupa state, i But tills accounts for only part of the flies seen in the late winter and early spring. The Department of Agriculture ; lias come to the tentative conclusion, 1 after long experiments and observa- i tlons, that most of the flies seen in the j early spring are the offspring, not the j survivors, of adult flies which escaped destruction at the hands of Jack Frost I in the fall. Flies are known to emerge from manure heaps as late as Decern- ; her. Some of these are attracted to kitchens, restaurants, markets and j such places by the odor of food. In these warm places, where there is food and a breeding medium, they continue 1 to breed. Consequently there are 1 some adult flies all winter long, al-: though no individual fly lives through-1 out the winter. This theory is con-! firmed by the fact that there are so few flies at first in the spring. How Salt Helps Whitewash A little salt added to whitewash Improves It. Some one in the salt business or the lime business learns of it and advertises it and thereby in creases the sale both of salt and of lirne. Silicate of soda added to the water in the hot-water heating ai>- paratus of a small house is carried everywhere and precipitated on the Internal wails of the pipes, where it forms a protective 81m against rust— a discovery that proved profitable to God on Calvary which makes it. pos' With pride Aristotle referred to having studied under Plato, and Plato boasted that be bad sat at the feet of Socrates. Paul had been in structed by Ga maliel, one of the great masters of bis day. In the same manner, N i c o demus re ferred to Jesus as “The great teacher come from God.” He was a great teacher, the greatest teacher who ever taught. Laban, father-in-law of Jacob, who uttered the words of the text, nad also been to school. He bad sat under a great teacher—experience. “I have learned by experience.” Frequently this teacher is hard and unrelenting,, and instructs his scholars against their wills. Blessed is the man who profits from experience! Laban came to know something about the Lord: Not only that the Lord could but did bless him, and showed the reason for the blessing. It was because Laban was "elated to Jacob, who was be loved of God. that he became the pos sessor of these spiritual privileges, and could testify, “I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.” , Testimony is always helpful, there fore it may be well for those who are wondering about God and what He can and will do, to write out some of the tilings that the saints have learned in this great school of experi ence. \ I. 1 speak first of learning by ex perience that GOD IS REAL, AND GOD IS GOOD. How frequently, by nature, people think of God as one who is to be feared (and He is) but when we learn to know Him as Jesus came to portray Him—what a differ ence! God is not an “abstract prin ciple.” not an “impersonal, power,” not a “great first Cause,” but one who “so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever be- lievetli in Him should, not perish but have everlasting life.” This is how I have come to know Him. II. Experience has instructed me that GOD CAN SAVE. I like the word “save.” Nothing is quite a sub stitute for it. The lifeguard uses it. the doctor and the surgeon use it, the fireman uses it, and I like to use it. God will do that very thing. He says: “He is able to save unto the utter most those who come unto God by Him, seeing He ever livetli to make intercession for them.” “If thou shalt confess . . . Jesus as Lord . . . thou shalt be saved.” It is really a simple thing to be saved. However, this is not a little or inconsequential act. because God is the Savior, and when He does a thing He does it perfectly. Salvation is from God. The basis for this is the work of Christ the divine Savior, upon the cross, lie is “the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.” It was that righteous act of the manufacturers of water glass. New uses for familiar substances are constantly discovered, and a new de mand for them is created.—Youth’s Companion. Why She Remembers Oae Sunday not very long ago I for got to bring my collection to church. I tried to borrow some from my friends, but unfortunately they had no extra change. After the sermon I waited nervously while the collection plate was being passed and the congregation sang “Rock of Ages.” As the collector reached me and I made it known that I had no money the people sang “Noth ing in My Hand I Bring.” He smothered a smile with difficulty, and after church told my friends, who made fun of me. I haven’t forgotten my collec tion since.—Chicago Journal. Why Nautical Mile Is Long The statute mile is based on the ar bitrary fixing of the length of a smaller unit of measure, while the nautical mile is the foot measure of this one minute of arc at the equator. There are GO minutes in each degree, 3G0 de grees in the circumference; therefore, there are 21,GOO minutes or nautical, miles in the distance around the earth at the equator. Dividing a nautical mile into the foot measure of tills land mile, there are 6,080 feet in the nau tical mile, while there are but 5.2SC feet in the statute or land mile. How Many Kinds of Mussels? Of the 50 varieties of mussels found in the Mississippi and fits tributaries 40 are known to lend themselves to pearl culture. The bureau of fisheries has spread mussel spawn through 350 miles of the river with the expectation of increasing the crop of mussels mow than 3.000,000 from the one sowing. sible for you to come to Jesus (i. e., to believe the Bible record of this sacrifice of God) as I, and millions of others, have done. For, “him that cometh unt>- Me (Jesus) I will in no wise cast out.” III. 1 have learned by experience that God ANSWERS FRAYER. Many times Fie lias answered my cry. David said: “This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him.” Elijah learned it, too, as did .Moses, Jonah, Jeremiah, and a host of others. Yes. we have learned it, and the doubts, scorn, and laughter of others cannot disprove it. By prayer I do not mean any “going into silence,” “concentration.” or “sub jective exercise.” I understand prayer to be that exercise that a soul which knows God (v e., comes to know God through accepting His Son) performs, when approaching Him in worship, and supplication for the tilings lie re- j quires. “If ye abide in Me, and My | words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto : you.” Ah, yes, lie has thousands «>f j times answered my prayer, as He j said. IV. 1 have learned, too, that HE ! CAN AND WILL SUPPLY EVERY NEED. Paul puts it like this: “My God shall supply all your needs ac cording to His riches in glory by ' Christ Jesus.” Every need supplied:! What do you need today. Ask Him foi j it. If you really belong to Him, you ! need lack nothing. My friend, cheer i up; God has promised to supply your ! need! Drop upon your knees and | trustingly confide to Him your every need, material and spiritual. “No | good thing will He withhold from ; them that walk uprightly.” “lie hath | blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” ! He “hath given unto us all tilings that i pertain to life and godliness.” Improved Uniform International Lesson (By REV. P. B FITZWATEK. D.D., Dean Moody Bibt<? institute of Chicago.> ((c). 1D2S. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for September 30 PAUL THE MISSIONARY GOLDEN TEXT—Christ liveth in me. —Galatians 2:20. PRIMARY TOPIC—Stories of Paul. JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul, the Brave Missionary. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Paul the Dauntless. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—“In Labors More Abundant." In the review of this quarter’s les sons, a good opportunity is given for character study. The interests of the quarter’s lessons center in Paul, Stephen, Barnabas, John Mark, Luke, Timothy, James and Ananias. Assign ments should he made a week in ad vance for the preparation of bi'ief es says by the pupils. Another method would be to lift out the principles contained in the lessons of the quarter and apply them to the important problems of the day. The following suggstions are offered: Paul’s the Ideal Education; Evi dences of Genuine Conversion ; What Is a True Christian? What Is the Real Missionary Spirit? Who Should Go as Missionaries? Should Religious Differences Be Compromised? If so. How Far? How to Be Assured of Divine Leading. Perhaps the most satisfactory meth od for adults is to summarize the facts and state the leading lessons. The following suggestions are offered: Lesson for July 1. Paul, by birth and education, had much to be proud of. A godly ancestry and a true edu cation ought to be the heritage of ev ery child. Lesson for July 8. While Stephen ministered in the benevolences of the church lie testified of Christ and met with violent opposition. The ring leader in this opposition was Paul. A man may be conscientious and wrong. Lesson for July 15. Paul in unbe lief zealously persecuted the church, even consenting to the death of Stephen. When his eyes were opened by the appearance of Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus he was trans formed into a zealous witness for Christ. Lesson for July 22. The sight which Paul had of Christ was so real that hje at once testified of His deity and saving power. Lesson for July 29. Paul and Bar nabas were sent forth by the Holy Ghost to preach the gospel to the Gen tiles. They were opposed by Elymas, the sorcerer. Spirit-filled men will most surely meet with opposition. Lesson for August 5. The preaching of Barnabas and Saul was accom panied with such wonderful signs that the people attempted to worship them as gods. The same people soon were moved to stone them. Despite this horrible treatment, Barnabas and Saul carried on their work. Lesson for August 12. The question of the grounds upon which Gentiles were to be received was latterly de bated. Paul preached that it was to be by faitli alone. Certain Judaizlng teachers taught that faith was to be supplemented by the works of the law. Lesson for August 19. Paul was for bidden to preach in Asia; then called to preach in Europe. Divine guid ance is just as really shown in closed doors as in open doors. Lesson for August 26. When Paul’s missionary work interfered with the unlawful gain of certain men at Philippi, he and Silas were sent to jail. Through their miraculous de liverance and their testimony of the saving power of Christ, the jailer was converted. Lesson for September 2. Wicked Jews followed Paul to Thessalonica and Berea. They stirred up the peo ple to such an extent that he had to Hee. Wherever lie went his ministry was accompanid by supernatural signs sti as to convince the Gentiles. Lesson for September 9. Paul preached the gospel in Corinth with such power that many were saved. Tlie gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Lesson for September 16. The ehurch was threatened with disrup- i ion through party spibit. The right conception of the gospel, Christian ministers and persons constituting the church, will cure sectarianism. Lesson for September 23. The Christian should abstain from that which might cause his brother to stumble.
