SELLERS, The Director Moody Bible of Eve- In¬ j stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 2. THE FLOOD. LESSON TEXT-Genesie 6:9-1*. 7:U-*4. GOLDEN TEXT—“The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God la eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Rom. 6:23 R. V. The first great fact recorded in the book of Genesis is that of Creation, which may be divided into several les¬ ser facts. The second great fact is that of the Fall, which began with the temptation and ended with the exclu¬ sion from Paradise. In this lesson we come to the third great fact, the Flood, the account of which embraces the fifth to the ninth chapters. Chap¬ ter five gives us Noah’s genealogy; six, the history of the building of the ark; Beven, the occupancy of the ark; eight, Noah’s departure from the ark, and nine, God’s covenant with Noah. In this lesson sin flourishes like the proverbial green bay tree. “Every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was only evil continually,” v. 5. These thoughts were crystallized into the lives of men, for we read that “the earth was filled with violence.” Vle-wing this awful development of sin, God was so deply grieved in his heart that he turned aside (repented) from his plan and purpose thus far, to a determination to destroy man (v. 7). Noah, however, found grace in God’s sight, as we see from v. 9, even in the midst of these adverse circum¬ stances. Environment is powerful but not all-powerful, and it is never a match for God’s grace. We must not gather from this verse that Noah was faultless, but rather than he sought to conform his life to God’s will and not to the standards of those among whom he dwelt. Noah gave himself to a whole-hearted service to God. We are told that the foundation of Noah’s acdhptance before God was his faith, Heb. 11:7, like his great grand¬ father Enoch, he had “walked with God” (5:22). Noah stood absolutely alone and was thus thrown upon com¬ panionship with God, compare v. 9 with I John 1:3. Given Due Warning. God could no longer endure the sins of men, their iniquity was full, therefore God determined to destroy them. He did not, however, cut them off, for we read that they had 120 years’ announcement of the coming of the flood (v. 13), time enough in which to repent. They also had a faithful preacher to warn them dur¬ ing this time, 2 Peter 2:5. But their apostasy was complete and they would have none of God’s mercy nor heed his warning, Prov. 29:1. Noah’s obedience as he built the ark was a daily reminder of the impending flood. — ra<? ark Was a nat-b<ff corned* TheSt 450 feet long, 75 feet broad and 45 feet deep, built of Cyprus (gopher wood) and coated with pitch. Under the eaves of the roof was an open space for ventilation and its three decks were divided into compart¬ ments. As to the “eight souls” (I Peter 3:20) who entered the ark we need to remember that usually children and servants are understood without men¬ tion in such enumerations. We are not to infer that of all created animals two of each entered the ark. The flood certainly was not universal and hence such a miracle was uncalled for. Attention has been called to the fact that zoologists tell us there are in reality less than 400 distinct species of animal life. Further, we must compare Chapters 7:2, 3 and 6:19. These animals were preserved for fu¬ ture increase, also for sacrifice. Exo¬ dus gives ten such clean beasts. Therefore of those for sacrifice Noah had but seventy in all. Modern ships carry hundreds of beasts with their food besides hundreds of human be¬ ings. Attention has been called to the detailed instruction Noah received for the building of the ark, yet God is ready and willing to give us as clear specifications for our life and work if we will walk as consistently with him as did Noah. Race Swept Away. At last the flood arrived at the ex¬ act moment prophesied. Its cause seems to be twofold, a subsidence of the ground and a downpour of rain. The Euphrates valley where this event took place fills all the necessary conditions. Subsidence would allow an Inundation from the sea. Such an inundation took place In 1911 in the Yangtse valley and another in 1901 rendered more than ten million people homeless; the water rising from 50 to 90 feet. All that the account de¬ mands, however. Is that a corrupt race "was swept away and that God saved his righteous servant and his household. It Is the privilege of ev¬ ery believer in God to save his house¬ hold. See Acts 16:31,’ 2:9; I. Cor. 7:14. The only way God could insure the purity of the race was to destroy ir¬ revocably the impure. This seeming severity was the essence of tender¬ ness and another evidence of the love of God. Skeptics hav. read into the story of the flood much extraneous matter. Some have sought to prove that be¬ cause nearly every race under the sun has a flood tradition therefore the writer of Genesis is merely passing on a "Babylonian tradition." It is far more reasonable to believe that these traditions are corrupted forms of the true account found in the Bible. Few of these traditions but are full of poly¬ theistic vagaries, as, for instance the Assyrian epic poem giving this story, but which is without a single endur¬ ing lesson. Whereas in this account Moses has given us a clear presenta¬ tion of the facts. He has made it a medium of spiritual Instruction. His account is the work of inspiration re¬ vealing the majesty, the righteousness and the "mercy of God. HEARD JHE CALL Crusty Old Bachelor Who Said He Would Never Marry Sur¬ renders at Last. 4 BY JOANNA SINGLE. (Copyright. 1913, by the McClure News¬ paper Syndicate.) “And now I suppose you’ll be get tin’ married, Fordle.” Ford looked up from his paper, pipe in mouth, and scowled at the old gis sip. Mrs. Peters came in from the neighborhood an hour or two daily to do the work in the little house now that his mother was dead. Then he was ashamed of the scowl and an¬ swered patiently: “I’m not a fool. I’ll leave here when the lease is out, and board and make something of myself. I’ve had all the care—and glad to have it—of mother for ten years—since I was. fifteen. I’ve nothing but my trade, and have just kept even with bills. Nothing—” “You’re a right good worker, Fordie, and always with plenty to do,” said the old woman, “and getting married don’t take much money—” “Nor any sense, either, from what I notice. Nothing, divided by two—or more—doesn’t go far. The people about here don’t think. They live from hand to mouth. They don’t look ahead. They marry when the fancy strikes them, and then it’s pov¬ erty and worry. I’m going to get out of the tread-mill. I wouldn't have the face to ask a girl to share noth¬ ing with me, to work hard for her board and clothes—and those none too good. I’d rather let her earn her living alone, hard as it is. It’s more —fair.” The woman, now at the door gave a parting shot. , "She’s the sort some¬ body’ll get—she might as well marry the one she wants.” Her tone was significant, but he did not question her. “I mean Evie Jordan—she ain’t lived two year beside you without seein’ you." Ford was glad she had the sense to go after that. The old gossip! But in his heart he heard the call he had been trying to ignore—heart calling to heart, man to maid. His mind could not keep from Evie, and he missed her running in and out as she had done during his mother’s long illness. She was a gallant, bright-eyed girl, all courage and re¬ serve. She grew upright like a young tree. And never had she shown him a look beyond mere neighborly friend¬ liness. She sold gloves at Benton’s. She came home and washed the dishes at night, and helped Popsy, her little sister, with her lessons, and made solid friends. Ford thought of Frank Barker, who came occasionally to see her—he was older than Ford, without incumbrances, and owned a little place in the edge of town. He could care for the girl. Marrying Frank, a good enough fellow, she would not need to think about rent, worry over a doctor’s bill, or any ex ?*ord waiTalE daily struggle brought up Iif. er, had married a faded, anxious, pettf woman. Her husband was discouraged. Their chil¬ dren had no particular chance. Would marriage turn Evie into a woman like that? If so, he, at least, would iy>t be responsible.. He disliked most married women. They were thin and anxious and selfish; or a little too fat, and a bit slovenly. They lacked tone —the up-standing quality—of, say, Evie, with her poise and stamina. No, Ford decided, he would stand alone. He had always believed a man could overcome any feeling, even love, if he was not ready for it. He would work up to something like comfort and dignity in the community. He wanted to study a little—he felt his lack of mroe than common schooling. He himself had no especial parentage, no training but that of experience, no "backing.” Ford had only himself to watch. Evie went her own way, she did her work, and sometimes from his yard, or at a window, he would watch her. She was never nervous, but strong, calm. There was a quiet, restful look in her dark eyes, even her plain way of wearing her hair rested him. He himself was fair and of quick temper. She semed always serene, always sen¬ timental, even when Frank Barker began coming oftener and sat about in the yard with Popsy, her little sis¬ ter, ever present. It was queer, Ford thought, that the man never took her anywhere. Didn’t he ask her, or wouldn’t she go? Occasionally she went to some amusement with a man friend, but never Barker. One night, having reached home from his work ahead of her, he was in his yard when she came simply tripping up the sidewalk. . It was hot and he knew she had worked hard— she had been five years in that one store. She saw him, and beckoned gayly, and he came, glad he could not Wheat in Brazil. In the not distant future it is not unlikely that the United States and Canada will have other competition this side of the Atlantic in the world's wheat market than the Argentine Re¬ public. It has been discovered that wheat can be cultivated with advan¬ tage in nearly all the states of Brazil. "Under the encouragement of the law of March 17, 1910,” says Le Bresil Economique, of Rio de Janeiro, “a propaganda has been prosecuted by the minister of agriculture for the cultivation of wheat. The beginning was in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. All the newspapers gave their aid. The production of wheat, which in 1909 did not exceed 15,000 tons, lias was 30,000 tons in 1910, and since 1911 far exceeded the latter figure. In 1912 the number of wheat growers increased and vast areas have been prepared for plantations in 1913. Sometimes Reticent.

' . refuse she called her people from the front door. “Oh, joy!” she said. “Hear the news! I haven’t been working for ntithing. I’m head of the glove de¬ partment, if you please—eighteen a week for two months, and after that twenty! Give us a kiss, Popsy wopsy!” Everybody rejoiced properly, but somehdw Ford felt sober. She did tot need him—or anybody—she earn¬ ed nearly as much as he. It gave him a sense of failure, his courage fell. It would have helped to talk the thing out—but that was not Ford Hudson’s way—it accounted for his half-morbid ideas about marriage and other things. In a day or two a really breathless thing happened, and was spread recklessly over the front page of the evening paper, news being very scarce. Under romantic circumstances an old relative 'of Frank Barker’s had left him some money—a great deal of money for a young mechanic—more than would be good for most men of his make-up. Ford saw the paper downtown, and was generously glad of the other man’s luck. And then he remembered Evie. Of course now would marry Evie; he could give her everything. Ford tried to be glad for Evie, but he walked home slowly, and entered his own gate, a bit quiet and depressed. Up the walk to the Jordan Cottage Frank Barker was springing with a Joyful step. Ford henrd Evie’s voice welcoming him at the door, and went into his empty house; he sat alone until it grew quite dark, and then went early to bed. It was Sat¬ urday, and he could sleep as late as he pleased. He awakened late Sunday morning, and rose listlessly. He was ashamed of-his weakness. He had determined on a course and must take it without regret. Besides, even if he had wooed Evie with all his will, probably she would not have had him. It was cer¬ tainly too late now—Frank Barker’s very step the night before had told him that Ford got his own break¬ fast, Petllft, put the dishes aside for Mrs. and. went out into his bit of floWer-garden which he kept up be¬ cause it had been his mother’s pride and because he liked it himself. He was glad the house was between him and Evie’s home. He pulled a few weeds from the pansy bed, considered the grass which needed cutting, and then sat down under the one maple tree on the bench. Unthinkingly, he stooped over, his elbows on his knees, his face resting in his hands. He did not see Popsy Jordan’s saucy face look round the corner, and then disappear. “What is it?” It was Evie’s voice, and he jumped to his feet, to see her before him in her little blue cotton house dress. He stared a moment, then reached out his hand. She laughed. “What for?” “Won’t you let me wish you happi¬ ness—Evie?” She gave him a queer, sober, almost pitying look out of her sweet dark eyes. '“Of course—but just why?—and why now? Popsy said you were ‘sick or Bprry, or something,’ and I came to si if-Then Ford spid when he^Hpant pot to say. —mflrry BYSnk*dhlyf-a—i love stan* msu myself—any I siinply can’t it for you-” She laughed a little un¬ steady laugh and held out both her hands. “Then—you may wish me happiness —but not with—Frank. Frank is very nice, but he isn’t- He waited for her to finish, holding her hands very close. She finished with her eyes bravely meeting his. “Frank is not—you!”. Then he kiss¬ ed her without delay, and without shame, and Popsy saw him. She pointed a brown forefinger at them. “I’ll tell mother on you!” Frank laughed happily, and snatched the lit¬ tle girl by one hand. “No, you won’t! I’m going to tell mother myself!” Evie looked at him blissfully, and he asked her a question. “Will you—wait for ye?” She corn sidered, her eyes aglow. "I’ll wait a year—and work while I wait I won’t wait ten years, and grow old and'lonely while you slave to grow stupid and well-off. I can earn money to furnish a little house In -a. y ear. You can buy a lot and lomething in a year—f don’t at, so it’s—with you!” Popsy loqk^tf at side. them, She her began wise little head onone to dance about, clinging to Ford’s hand. “Oh, I know! I know! You are go¬ ing to get—married." Frank Barker came up just in time to hear the child. His face set a little, as he looked inquiringly at Ford. Then he held his hand out manfuly. “I—believe Popsy’s right,” answer¬ ed the happy lover. The other man was watching Evie, and said slowly: "You were always—perfectly fair with me, Evie. . You said I had no chance—but I never once thought of this—you never showed it” Evie replied soberly, something like tears in her eyes: “Of course not—had I been—asked to show it?” She ran away into the house, and left Ford to follow her. Possibly Knew What He Meant. In an address of welcome to a resi¬ dent magistrate at Cala, Transkei, South Africa, the Kaffir spokesman, the other day thus expressed him¬ self: “We cordially welcome your pluck and goodness in coming among such pusillaminary and unwhole somely ignorant people. We are over¬ joyful to get such a weak, non-exclt able, superabundantly harmonious one as a magistrate.” Distribution of Solar Energy.

The only abiding thing, the only thing that you may take with you into the future life, is character. It is a mark of wisdom to look Into and pre¬ pare for the future. Herein lies the difference between a child and a man, the savage and the civilized, the rich and the poor—the ability to look into and plan for the' future. The power of the artist lies In his ability to see Bee finished picture. Character is the best thing you can leave behind you. A good character Is the best tomb¬ stone. We are remembered by what we have done. The absence of character Is hopeless, weakness and wickedness. What Is Character? Intellectual culture is not necessari¬ ly character. It is often argued that Intellect and moral development go to¬ gether. History, however, disproves such a statement. If that were true the peasant, If plOUB, even though he had no education, would be a Shakes¬ peare or a Milton; then goodness must accompany scholarship and so every scholar would be a moral man, which is not the case. Intellectual culture may be and often is accompanied by character, but it is not identical with it. Did intellect save Solomon from vice, Bacon from bribery, or Byron from immorality? Coleridge says: “All the mere products of the under¬ standing tend to death.” Wealth is not character, although it is often substituted for it. People without character, but with money, often are admitted into respectable society. Wealth in the hands of weak men is a fearful thing. It is not true that moneymaking has the tendency to banish great thoughts and fine feel¬ ings? Why is so. much immorality con¬ nected with wealth? Reputation is not character. Char¬ acter is what a man is, reputation is what men think him to be; arffi often aflon twn of hinge—era—yavar.gp<^)v the newspapers) Char¬ the acter is what a man is befoife God; reputation is what he is befor* men; reputation is for time, character is for eternity. Character is w'.hat a man is when nobody is looking. A man’s character can no mo»ra be strengthened by reputation than a fence by whitewash. • , What, then, is character? (The word signifies something scored or en¬ graved, and carries with it an abiding significance; so we may speak of char¬ acter as that which sets forth certain abiding results which has been scored or engraved in the soul of man by the experiences of life. Character is tbe stamp on our souls of the free choices of good or evil we have been making continually through life. It Is that which engraves itself upon all we do. Character Is what we are in the hid¬ den recesses and not merely on the surface of our lives; It is not really what men take us to be, but what we are before God as our judge. Charac¬ ter is. a true man, a true woman, at their best and highest, living out the dictates of their highest, best and truest natures. The man of character is truthful. "His armor is his honest thought, and simple truth his utmost skill.” He does not profess a thing that he does not intend to do; he does not prom¬ ise a thing which he knows Is not In his power to fulfill. No considerations can justify the sacrifice of truth which ought to be sovereign in all the rela¬ tions of life. A lie is never justifiable. Some one has said that other vices are virtues compared to lying, "yet how lightly esteemed is falsehood. Ly¬ ing ofttimes assumes the form of di¬ plomacy, expediency, moral reserva¬ tion, dodging the question, twisting words, and giving wrong impressions. Character Is characterized by mod¬ esty and purity. The bloom on a peach is of the very first consideration to its life and perpetuation; and the finest thing about a man or a woman is the fine bloom on the mind and the con¬ science. This feeling is more ef¬ fectual for our protection than walls of granite or gates of brass. Take care of the delicacy of your mind, re¬ tain the power to blush, respect the alarm and shrinking of the soul at the faintest suspicion of evil. Let cynical people call you green; thank God for that- color, and see that you keep it, for It is Infinitely better than the sere and yellow leaf of a wasted life. Live so modestly, so purely, so resolutely for your God that your whole moral nature shall continue, "Quick as the apple of an eye, The sllghteat touch of sin to feel." God Within Us. "Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said. I will dwell in them.”—II Cor., vi. 16. God within us! Not only ever with us unseen, not only watching us in our secret moments and reading the very thoughts of our hearts, not only covering us with the shadow of his wings and lighting us with the light of his countenance, but within us— our bodies his temples, our hearts his home. Oh, if we could but grasp the thought we should live lives nobler and more beautiful.—Frederick W. Frrrar. Life’s greatest work Is the build¬ ing of character. Our world is a college, events are teachers. happi¬ ness is the gradu¬ ating point, and character is the diploma which is given to man. Character Is more than learning and Intellect; goodness outshines genius. Character Is not so much a thing of intellect as of NOW WALKS MOST ANYWHERE But for Fifteen Long Tears, Mrs. Dickson Could Not Stand on Her Feet for Any Length of Time. Dallas, Tex.—"T cannot recommend Cardui, the woman’s tonic, too highly,” writes Mrs. R. J. Dickson, of 2907 Bryan Street, this city. “It is the greatest boon to those suffering from womanly trouble, in existence. For 15 years, I was a sufferer from such severe pains, caused from woman¬ ly trouble, I could not walk, or even stand on my feet, long at a time. I also had backaches and headaches. I commenced taking Cardui, the wom¬ an’s tonic, and now I can walk any¬ where I want to, do my own work, and feel better than I have for ten years. I am so thankful that I took your medicine, as I feel like a new woman entirely. My advice to all women Is to try Cardui, the woman’s tonic, when they feel they need a tonic, as It will cer¬ tainly do for them, what it has done for me.” Cardui goes to the weak spots and helps to make them strong. It is for the weak, tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel as though everything were wrong, and who need something to quiet their restless nerves, and strengthen their worn-out systems.
