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

industries would dwindle.

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.
