Mr. Rockefeller Builds
The Bull Is Honest
Are We Turning Chinese?
A Troubled World
On January 1 John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., will begin construction of his
great civic center in the heart of New
York.
A good business man, he probably
wants some income from the prop
erty, for which he has been paying
ground rent to Columbia college at
the rate of $3,000,000 a year.
The younger Mr. Rockefeller de
voting time and energy to building,
to admirably useful restoration of an
cient, priceless buildings, and to con
struction of a great center in New
York, reminds you of the Medici fami
ly, of whom tJia founder strongly re*
sembled John D. Rockefeller, Sr.
The older Medici made money, or
ganized commerce.
The younger generation spent
the money employing Michael Angelo,
Raphael and others.
Mr. Sidney Franklin, born > in
Brooklyn, and perhaps possessing an
cestors that lived three thousand
years ago on the Island of Crete,
went to Spain, became a bull fighter.
Now he goes into vaudeville, safer
than the bull ring, and says bull
lighting is absolutely a “fair, honest,
pure” sport, because “no way lias
been found to bribe the bull.” In that
respect, bull lighting is unlike prize
lighting.
The extremely able Manchester
Guardian, Great Britain's most
solemn and substantial newspaper,
worries about us. The editor thinks
our gangsters are of the same breed
as Chinese bandits, and “our civiliza
tion is failing."
Let us hope that the Manchester
Guardian is too gloomy. Our
gangsters shoot each other. Chinese
bandits don’t do that.
Chinese bandits kidnap women, cut
off a linger, or an ear, and send it
back with a request for cash. Our
gangsters have not adopted that
method.
Troubles aJl over the world. In
Spain, students burn a picture of the
king, and Berenguer, prime minister,
closes the University of Barcelona.
Before burning the picture, the stifc.
dents cut out the head, mounted it on
a pole and paraded with it.
That is a mild but unpleasantly
close imitation of French revolution
ists. They cut off the head of a pub
lic official that advised peasants to
eat grass if they had no bread. Th#
mob stuffed the dead mouth wu,
grass,, put the head on the eud of a
pole, and paraded with it.

Lesson for October 26
SPIRITUAL WEAPONS IN A
WORLD WAR
(World’s Temperance Lesson)
LESSON TEXT—Galatians 5:i:5-2<*.
GOLDEN TEXT—And every man that
striveth for the mastery is ‘temper
ate in all things. Now they do it to
obtain a corruptible crown; but >ve an
incorruptible.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Learning Self-
Control.
JUNIOR TOPIC—The • Law in One
Word.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC—The Secret of Self-Control.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—Making Prohibition Effective and
Permanent.
The lesson topic is not a happy one.
The Scripture text chosen clearly re
fers to the inner conflict going on in
the believer. Having been born of the
llesli and of the Spirit (John 3:0),
there is an unceasing conflict going
on betweqp the two natures (Gal.
5:17). The insurrection springing out
of the carnal nature cannot be put
down by the Law of Moses. Victory
•can only be accomplished through the
energy of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The commiitce has further desig
nated it “a temperance lesson.” It has
a real bearing on temperance in that
it shows the only way to destroy the
infernal liquor business; namely, to
lead individuals to tt personal knowl
edge and experience of Jesus Ghrist.
Having in Galatians 3 and 4 shown
that the believer is free from the law
as a means of justification, Paul
makes practical application of this
doctrine as follows:
I. Christian Freedom (vv. 13-15) %
1. If is not an occasion to the
“flesh” (v. J3).
Liberty is not license. The notion
that when one is free from the law he
is free from constraint, is wickedly er
roneous. License of the flesh means
not merely the indulgence of the flesh
iu actual material sins, but in the ex
pression of a self-centered life (v. 15).
2. By love sol ving one another (v.
13).
Freedom from the Mosaic law means
slavery to the law of love. Love thus
becomes the fulfillment of the law—
“Love thy neighlK>r as thyself” (V. 14).
II. Walking in the Spirit (vv. 10-18).
Walking in the Spirit results In:
1. Loving sendee to others.
2. Victory over the flesh (vv. 1C, 17).
By the “flesh” is meant the corrupt
nature of man expressing itself in the
realm of sense and seif.
III. The Works of the Flesh (vv.
19-21).
A strike in the Edison factory at
Orange, N. J„ was necessary per
haps, if it be a fact that wages were
reduced. *
But £piy workman knowing what
Edison has done for worker? must
find it hard to call a strike against
him. '
Thanks to Edison, millions are at
work all over the world at good
wages, and millions live In comfort
unknown before Edison’s work began.
Mussolini greets and thanks Ameri
cans honoring the name of Virgil,
which emphasizes the difference In
age between this youthful country and
Mussolini’s.
The direct descendants of Virgil’s
race in Rome, Mantua and elsewhere,
are celebrating the two .thousandth
anniversary of his birth.
A powerful race is that of Italy, and
Mussolini is as strong in will and exe
cution as any of the Caesars.
'If anybody asks “How long will the
depression last?” reply “How long
does a cold in tho head last?” It de-
Iicnds on who has the cold, how much
of a cold it Is. and what you do after
you get it.
This country is rich and powerful
i enough to throw off this chill of de-
i pression. and anyhow it is comforting
to know that even a heavy cold does
disappear.
Kingsford-Smith sets a new flying
record, flying from London to Allaha
bad, India, in five and a half days.
Airplanes may crash and dirigibles
break In two. but fliers are not dis
couraged. The history of ran a has
been one of unconquerable effort.
That’s why he rules the earth, and all
earth’s inhabitants except the microbes.
Bears “That destroy public confi
dence” by selling short in Wall Si reel,
j have been told in Arm language to
i “lay off,” and have Iain off. The stock
exchange wants no quarrel with the
. Department of Justice, no investiga
tion of sacred Wall Street accounts.
The old statement that bears and
short selling are necessary to make
business good and active seems borne
out by the dullness of the market and
the falling prices.
Dinosaur eggs found originally In
Thibet have been discovered in Amer

By works of the flesh is meant
the operation of the carnal nature.-
The one who chooses to live ac
cording to the impulses and desires

the following sins:
1. Sensuality (v. 19).

ticed in Hie sphere of the body, are:

cludes all sexual sins in married and

or deed.
(3) Lasciviousness. This means the

(1) Idolatry.
(2) Witchcraft or sorcery. This
means all dealing with the occult, such
as magical* arts and spiritism.
3. Sins of temper (vv.'20, 21).
These take place in the sphere of
the mind and are:
(1) Hatred. (2) Variance, which
means strife and contention. (3) Em
ulations; jealousy. (4) Wrath; bursts
of passions. (5) Seditions; factions
in the state. (C) Heresies; factions
in the church. (7) Envyings. (8).
Murders.

(1) Drunkenness. This means in
dulgence in intoxicating liquors.

under the influence of intoxicants.
IV. The Fruit of the Spirit (vv.
22-24).

of life. The product of the Holy
.Spirit indwelling the believer.
1. Love to God and man.
2. Joy; glnd-heartedness because of
what God has done.
3. Peace with God and fallQ^man.
4. i/ong suffering; taking insult and
injury without murmuring.

mitting all to bin).
8. Meekness; submission to God.
