FURNITURE AND STOVES e. .v Night Phone, 55 — — — Day Phone, 76. by Arthur Brisbane How to Cure Anarchy He and She Ran Away Adopt, Adapt, Improve Lindbergh Has a Statue A boy of seventeen, calling himself a Communist, appeared before Magis trate Sabbatoni, who said to him: “What you need is for me to have you in a two-by-four room. What I would do to you! I’d blacken your eyes and give you some real American spirit.” >1 Lost on a Lone >; i. ,.Peak | That, you will admit, is a perfect plan for discouraging the spirit of j anarchy, which disregards established law and legal procedure. In New Jersey the wife of a Bap tist clergyman runs away with a chicken farmer, member of the con- : gregation. She advises her husband to get a divorce. The chicken farmer leaves directions for the care of chickens and his three children. i This is shocking news, but we should read it having in mind the great num ber of clergymen’s wives and chicken fanners that stay faithfully at home, leading monotonous lives, with little thanks to the clergymen’s wives from the congregation and often few eggs for the chicken farmer from his hens. Fal&fulne^s Is the rule and is never advertised. The British know positively that a war doesn't pay. They face a “slump year”' in industry. Losses k) stocks, heavy taxation, labor In power, are some things that worry Britishers that were rich and now feel poor. Across the channel in France, on the other hand, everything is boom ing, nobody idle. And the French are persistently drawing on Britain’s supply of gold. New York’s medical officer warns the world’s richest, wettest city, “if you must drink, in this bootleg era, do your drinking not more than five minutes away from a doctor.” Adopt, adapt, improve. Those three words, recommended by the prince of Wales to his f^llow coun trymen, might well be adopted, adapt ed and Improved in this country. The young prince, one of the most nseful, hard-working citizens of Great Britain, said to British industrialists: “We British think we are very efli- clent, and we are at the head pf the world in lots of things, but to keep in the van we must be conscious of that very valuable thing—the knowledge that we learn something new every day. To put it in three words: We must learn to adopt, to adapt and to improve.” We Americans think we are very efficient. In fact, we are absolutely sure of it. But Wfe do not always “adopt, adapt, improve,” For instance, railroad managers of the United States stood looking, doing nothing, while automobile omnibuses and trucks took away some of their most profitable business. They woke up late to that situation, and they are not thoroughly- awake yet. , St. TiOnls wants to erect a statue to Lindbergh. It Is unnecessary; it is too soon; and who in the country could make it good enough except MacMottnies, and he, for the time, has given up sculpture. Lindbergh possesses now a monu ment sufficient—a picture in every American mind of a youth sitting in a small box with wings, leaving New York alone, crossing the ocean from ( New York to Paris. When you have that kind of monu ment you don’t need anything of mar ble or bronze. Helen Wills, good CaUfornia girl, is now Mrs. Frederick S. Moody, Jr. He Is a Californian also. - That wedding Interests Americans, all fond of H«*len Wills and proud of her. It also interests eugenists, who believe that a super-race could be built up by proper marriage selection. Fortunately, they are wrong about that. A super-race Is being produced, not as basis of breeding horses or dogs, but produced by intense affection and' concentration, which more than any thing else decides the qualities of the child. For other details read the first chapter of “Tristam Shandy." “Fly, Red Eagle of the Tyrol,” is the name of a German play. Italy wants a scene changed in which a , youth of German blood tells how Ital ian gendarmes shot his mother. Germany will oblige: the play will be toned down. The Incident is Interesting because | applause that greets .the play and its j patriotic utterances shows how easily . a* new war could start, once the na* 1 tions get their breath. Criticizing installment payments for automobiles and o f ther expensive units has gone by. Without such payments industries would dwindle. The wise mad, knowing that he will not live forever, pays for a thlrg * B(1 enjoys It at the same time. By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD >; !♦* V (Copyright.) DRUCE GRAHAM felt exceedingly foolish. He had done the very thing he had so scored Ann Berkley for saying she was going to do in a discussion over ihe Mountain Inn din ing table yesterday. He, who was not as much of a mountain climber as Ann herselt was, had attempted to climb Lone Peak without a guide. And now, here he was—lost! The instant he realized that his ex act whereabouts were a dark secret to him he bad done the approved stunt. He rad s.it down or- the nearrst fallen log to consider the situation. While considering the situation, he recalled the argument. “I don't believe,” Ann had declared, “that it would be possible for any in telligent person to become lost on these mountains. It is too-, easy to orient oneself by familiar peaks and furthermore, once you got down to the Beaver river, all jou would need to do would he to follow it to the very hotel grounds themselves!” Yet acre—stupid fool that ho was— sat Bruce on the- slopes of Lone Peak, unguided and without food, compass or adequate protection front the chill of approaching night. He had not set out to climb Lone Peak. Bruce was a fisherman, an angler in the truest Waltonian sense, ile had left the hotel that afternoon to fish Crooked brook, a stream empty ing Into the Beaver. The fish had not responded to his efforts, however, and he had turned back when his eye was caught by what appeared to be a trail along the nearest shoulder of Lone Peak where no trail was reputed to be. He saw that It apparently started not many feet away and. Idly curious, he laid down his creel and rod and proceeded to n ensuai investigation. There was no question that some thing had recently gone that way. Broken twigs, a trampled juniper— such were unmistakable indications that told of reasonably recent .contact with a moving body. Bruce kept on farther than he in tended or realized, lured by the thrill of finding out Just what was ahead. Suddenly, however, it occurred to him that he had no Intention of ascending Lone'Peak to the summit, trail or no trail.. He turned abruptly and would probably have had no trouble retrac ing hie way had not one of those sudden drenching showers so common in mountainous regions poured vio lently out of a passing cloud. In an effort to avoid a complete soaking, Bruce left what slight path he had made and sought the protect ing lee of a rock on a distant ledge. When the rain ceased as sharply as it had begun his efforts to relocttte the vanished trail proved useless. Ue was still sitting on a fallen .log when he was roused by a faint “hal loo” from some spot higher tip on the mountain. For a moment It seemed to .him an ..imaginary mocking note from Ann evoked by his recollection of their conversation. At Its repetition, he leaped to hl« feet, made a trumpet of his hands, and returned the call. The response was immediate. He had no wish to climb higher but felt an impulse to join himself, if pos sible, with .whatever other human be ing was wandering about on this mis erable mountain. Gradually, he found himself nearing the person who was doing the calling. The “halloos” were louder and continued absurdly to re mind him of Ann. * With one final crash through the underbrush tha4: caught at his golf stockings and made him lament the absence of his wading boots, he burst out into a small clearing and stopped short. There, sitting on a fallen log. sat Ann with aYi expression of surprise on her face as great as he felt there was on his. “Thank goodness, you’ve found me.” said Ann crossly. “You can say ‘I told you so’ and get it over with. I don't mind at all. It’s a horrid feel ing being lost. AH on account of one mean little shower.” ***••• They found their way out even tually. A rising moon and patient hours of following one path after an other brought them to the hotel just In time to forestall the search party which was being made up to bunt for them. Their explanations, however, had sounded, rather inadequate to their wouftbbe rescuers, cheated out of the one thrill the vacation seemed about to bring them. “1 wanted to prove I could climb Lone Teak and not get lost,” said Ann, somewhat inanely under the cir cumstances. “I didn’t want to prove anything, but I came across Ann’s trail, not knowing, of course, it' was Ann’s—” But Bruce paused here, aware of a certain atmosphere of skepticism em anating from his audience. Later, left to themselves for a min ute, Ann tried to have the last word iq the matter. “After all, we did find our way back, Bruce!” But suddenly Bruce snared her In the 'curve of his arm. “It took the two of us to do It. What d’ye say that hereafter wo do our mountain climbing, ns well as everything '?!se t together?” And. at Ann’s reply, the moon con siderately disappeared for an Instant behind a cloud above Lone Peak.

Lesson for January 12 ' THE BAPTISM AND TEMPTATION OF JESUS LESSON TEXT—Matthew 3:1-4:11 (Print Matt. 3:13-4:11). GOLDEN TEXT—This Is My beloved Son, in whom I am «#ell pleased. PRIMARY TOPIC—When Jesus Was Baptized. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Jesus Facing His Life Work. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Triumphing Over Temptation. I. The Baptism of Jesus, the King (3:13-17). While the forerunner was discharg ing his office, the King emerged from His seclusion at Nazareth and demand ed baptism at John's hands. The in congruity of this demand with the pur pose of baptism brought from John a protest, but upon Jesus’ satisfac tory explanation, John baptized Him. Touching Christ’s baptism, note: 1. Its significance. (1) Negatively a. It did not mean His mere obedience to the commandment of God. because His entire life had been lived within the will of God. There was not a mo ment in His life but what was lived fully in accordance with the Father's will. b. Not because Ue had sinned, for He was absolutely sinless, harm less, undeflled—separate from sinners. This separation was so complete that even the devil could And no occasion against; Him (John 14:30). (2) Positively. Its significance is found In harmony with the central purpose of His coming into the world, which was to secure for His people salvation through death and resurrec tion. This act was the official en trance upon His work. It was an act of consecration on His part to the work of saving His people through sacrifice. While baptism is a sinner’s ordi nance. Christ was baptized not be cause He had sinned, but because He took the place of sinners to be a sub stitute for them. In this He who knew no sin was made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God In Him (II Cor. f>:21). 2. Approval from the opened heav ens (vv. 10. 17). Immediately following His conse cration to His work, the heavens were opened and the Spirit came and abode upon him, followed by words of ap proval from the Father. II. The Temptation of Jesus, the King (4:1-11). Being thus commissioned for (Tis work. His ability to meet the one whose destruction He had come to ac complish, musfbe demonstrated (Heb. 2:14). This temptation was the open ing battle of the dreadful conflict be tween Christ and Satan. In this strug gle note: 1. The battleground—wilderness of Judea (v. I). The first man was temjded in a gar den with the most pleasant surround ings. and failed. The second Man was tempted In a bare wilderness, and gloriously triumphed. 2. The method of attack (vv, 3-9). Since, as the Redeemer of mankind. Christ sustains a threefold relation ship, the Son of Man, the Son of God. and as Messiah, each one was made a ground of attack. (1) As Son of Man. This was a test of the reality of His humanity to demonstrate aa.to,wheth er tht^'humanity"which He obtained through the virgin birth was real. The appeal was made to the Instinct of hunger. Hunger is natural and sin less. (2) As the Son of God. it was a test as to whether this personality which had taken upon itself humanity, was divine. The devil quoted from a Messianic psalm to induce Jesus to presume upon GvmI's care. God does really care for His Own. but to neglect common precautions to do the uncalled for thing, just to put God’s promise to a test, is to sin and to fall. (3) As the Messiah. Christ’s mission as the Mes siah was to recover this world from the devil. The devil offered to sur render to Him on the simple condition that He adopt ids method, thus obvi ating the necessity of the cross. 3. The defense—the Word of God (vv. 4, 7, 10). Christ met the enemy eacti time and repulsed him with “It is written.” Each time he quoted from Deuter onomy—the book which the higher critics would discredit as unreliable. -Jesus had enough confidence in It to use It In this the most crucial hour of the world’s history. 4. The Issue (*. 11). The enemy was completely routed. The strong man was bound, so that the spoiling of his house was possible.
