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.”

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.
