THE MOON'S HINTS Mr. Moon hoard that the Fairy Queen wan going (o give a party aud lift was greatly excited about It. "I'd like to he present ut the party." lie said to himself. "1 do leipe it will be tin evening party. "I like evening parties. I must say. Daytime parties aren't at all in my line. No, they're not in my line at all. "Well, 1 must see when the party Is to be. Of course, I don't want to hint or ut.ythlng like that. Hut mnyhe I'll suggest to the Fairy Queen that the evening Is a lovely time in which to give n party. "Perhaps she'll take the suggestion and won't see that I'm hinting just a little bit. "Well. I'll try." So the next time the Fairy Queen entile un to see the Rlne Mminlnln Tnn Fairies Mr. Mrton was Just getting up. "Good evening. Fairy Queen," he said, and grinned his best and must at truetlve grin. "Good evening. Mr. Moon," said the Fairy Queen. "How are you this evening?" "Oh. nicely, ma'am. Nicely, your majesty. "And how are you this evening, Wondrous Fairy?" "Oh, I feel splendid." said the Fairy Queen. "Good." said Mr. Moon Then he thought for a moment and then lie said: "These evenings are wonderful evenings for nil sorts of things. I don't mean anything special, hut they're ttne for?well?let us say, entertainments, recitals, possibly illustrated lectures." He didn't want to say the word "parties" right out for fear the Fairy Queen would think he was hinting. "Yes," said the Fairy Queen, "these : evenings ure nice enough for anything." Mr. Moon was a little sad at that. The Fnlr.v Queen was not thinklni? of her party, evidently. "Well," said Mr. Moon after another moment, "I suppose you are quite busy these fino evenings?" "Not unusually so," answered the Fairy Queen. "No?" said Mr. Moon, becoming a t little holder. "I had an Idea you i were." a "Oh, no," snld the Fairy Queen, "I've not been so busy. But I will he busy - | from now on." I Well, this was exciting. Mr. Moon i could hurdly keep from saying right JI This Is a Surprise/* L* I s ; out, "You mean because of your ' party!" ' | Hut Instead be said, "Ob, have you 0 , much to do from now 011?" | "Yes." the Fairy Queen answered, s . "quite a lot." " I "YVull " *..1.1 \?? *? "? ..V.., HIIIM .Ml. iUIHIII, 1 suppose ? | there is a lot of work to be done ut ^ i this time of the year." V | s | He thought to himself that that was ^ n foolish remark to have made. . I Why would any one he so very much . I busier now than at imv other lin.ev y Hut still he had said this uud so he wouldn't change his speech now or try to Improve upon it. I "No. I really couldn't call It work," k, said the Fairy Queen. r "Well, that's good," said Mr. Moon, u "I'm glad It Is to he pleasure. I like tc feel there Is to be more pleasure goj lug on." He had almost said that he liked to feel there was going to lie u party. r IIow nearly he had said that. He was very glad he wasn't given to blushing, for he knew ho wanlii h??? blushed at that hint of his if It had been a habit of his to blush. "Well," said the Fairy Queen after a moment, "I love to eliat with you, Mr. Moon, hut I must hn going. "And one of the tilings I particularly wanted to say?in fact, one of tlie reasons I came to the mountain top this evening?was to invite you to my purtv tomorrow evmiltnr" "Oh, Fniry Queen, this Is n surprise!" said Mr. Moon, and then lie felt n little guilty and yet it hud been a surprise to have been invited like that?all of a sudden. Still he must be perfectly truthful, so he said, "I heard rumors of a party, your majesty, hut I didn't know whether or not it was a night-time affair. I am so glad I It Is." * "So Kind you can come," suit) the * Fnlry Queen. t | Hut nfter she haul none Mr. Moon 1 I hiUKhed to himself: "She haul come to ^ invite me and here I haul hinted ami I . hinted and she htid not taken the w | hints heeaiuse she liaid naeaant me to V have an invitation, anyway !"

DEVOTIONAL, HEADING?Psalm 98PRIMAKY TOPIC?Favored Stories of tho Quarter. JUNIOR TOPIC?Jesus Went About Doing Good. INTERMEDIATE AND 8ENIOR TOPIC ?How Jesus Ministered to the People. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Some Characteristics of Jesus' Ministry. Since till the lessons of the quarter save one are from Luke, and the central and unifying theme Is Jesus j Christ, a prolituble way to conduct the review, us suggested In i'elouhet's : Notes, would be to assign the following topics to the members of the class to make a brief report upon: 1. Christ's Mission to the World. 2. Christ's Helpers and How He Used Them. 3. Christ's Divine Tower and How He Exercised It. 4. Christ's Methods of Teaching. 5. Christ's Love In Its Many Manifestations. ?. (Thrist's CdurnRe and How He Show Of! It. 7. Christ's Foes anil Ills Dealings With Them. 8. Christ's IMty for Sinners. 9. Christ's Passing Through Human . Experience. 10. Christ as a Missionary and an I Organizer. 11. Christ's Relation to the Father. I 12. Christ's Preparation for the ; Climax of His Life. Another way would he by summarizing each lesson, stating the outstanding topic and teaching of each i lesson. Tlit? fnllmvini? are offered: Lesion 1. The birth of John Nie , Baptist, which from the human stand' point was Impossible, was announced to his father, Zacharlas. For ids unbelief he was smitten with dumbness. God expects of Ids servant unques. tloned l>ellef in what He promises. Lesson 2. Jesus was born in Bethlehem Just as the prophet had 'jretold Home 700 years before, and at the ajte of twelve years be consciously entered Into the services of God's house. Tlinmrli ..f II!., i - * " "? ! and mission. He lived u life of tlllnl obedience. Lesson 3. John the Baptist'* ministry was a preparation for the comlug of Christ. He fearlessly preached repentance and pronounced judgment upon the impenitent. Though a mighty preacher, he humbly declared that Christ was immeasurably greater than himself. Lesson 4. Jesus Christ after His baptism was led by Hie Spirit Into the wilderness to be tempted of the ui->n. iiH- purpose was 10 test tne reality of the incarnation. The result was complete victory?a demonstration of Ills ability to save to tlie uttermost all who trust Him. Lesson 5. Isaiah foretold the irnhlen age upon the earth when Christ will reign. Lesson 6. While Jesus was here He healed all kinds of diseases and cast out devils. He authenticated His , mission and proved llis power to for Ki>t? sins ii.v miraculous ueeus. I Lesson 7. Jesus taught the disciples tlie principles which should 1 govern in His kingdom. orfly those ! who huve heen horn from hove cun love tltelr enemies, i Lesson 8. While In Simon's house nt dinner, u woman who had heen a ' notorious sinner anointed Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair. The sinner's gratitude to Jesus for for1 giveness is measured hy the appre' hension of sins forgiven. Lesson 9. Jesus went forth throughout every city preaching Ihe glad tidings of the Kingdom of (Jod. The fact 1 of salvation for sins through a crucified Redeemer is truly glad tidings. Lesson 10. Jesus sent forth missionaries with the realization of the nig task before them, and with power to perform supernatural deeds to authenticate their mission. Those who i realize tne tugness of their task will earnestly pray that the Lord will send forth laborers into His harvest. I Lesson 11. Jesus' reply to the ques' tion of a certain lawyer, "Who is my neighbor?" shows that the all-important consideration is ft.it "Who is my nplrthKnpV* I?M* Al * ... ?. villi 1 SIIIIW lliai I nni n neighbor?" 1 Lesson 12. A certain rich man In , his perplexity over his prosper'ty deI elded to provide larger stores and setj tie down to a life of sensuous Induli gence. The one who lays up treasJ ures on earth and is not rich toward j God Is a fool. True Prayer. I have no doubt tlm? iim aI<i prayer, as a hogging of God t<> set aside wise laws to accommodate puny and often foolish men, will more and more fade away as men grow u Iser, Hut I think that all this will only prepare the way for true prayer?that prayer which seeks to get the highest spiritual good hy conforming to the highest spiritual laws of our nature. This kind of prayer, 1 think, we shall no more outgrow than we shall outgrow hope, or love, or gratitude, or aspiration, or reverence, or the sense of dependence on a Higher I'ower, or the ' need, in our weakness and sorrow, to comfort and strength from some source higher than our poor selves.?Minister.
