THE LAGRANGE REPORTER FRIDAY MORNING AUGUST 29, 1913. SCHOOL. Lesson IX.—Third Quarter. For Aug. 31, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of tho Loison, Ex. xlx, 1-8( 13- 21—Memory Vonoo, 6, 6—Qoldon Text, Hob. xll, 28—Commentary Pre pared by Rav. D. M. Stoarne. When the Lord spoke to Moses out of the burning bush at Borvb, the mountain of God. as he kept the flock of Jethro, his fathor-ln-Iaw. He said to him, "When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt ye ahull serve God upon this mountain" (Ex. Ill, X, 2. 12). Now. nfter about three months, Israel Is encamped at the mount of God. and Jethro came to him, bringing Zlpporah. bis wife, and his two sous, Qershom and Ellezer, the former sig nifying "a strunger there" and the latter "my God Is our help" (margin of xvill, 3. 4). As they communed to gether of all that God had done for Israel, Jethro Bntd: "Now I know thnt the Lord Is greator than all gods, and ho offered a burnt offering and sacri fices to God. Then Aaron came and all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God" <xvlU, 7-12). As Jethro saw Moses spending the whole day from morning until evening listening to the people’s affairs, he said, "Thou wilt surely wear away; • • • this thing Is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform It thyself alone” (xvill. 18). And he sug gested a better way, subject to God's approval, which Moses accepted (xvill, 13-27). Having reached Sinai and Horeb in the third mouth, Moses went up unto God. and the Lord gave him a message for Israel, which hus also a most important heart word for every believer, and first, “1 bare you on eagles' wings." With this we must compare Deut. xxxli, 11, 12, and note the process of teaching young eagles to fly. Then In Isa. xl. 31, the secret of flying; then In Luke xvli, 37, the eagle saints caught up to moot the Lord in the air. The words "brought you unto myself” (Ex. xix, 4) give the key to all His dealings with us. for their intention is even, and more and more, to wean us from all people and circumstances unto Himself that we may find our home in God and our all in Himself, living together with Him until some day we shall be ever with the Lord (1 Thess. v, 10; iv, 17). The words "a peculiar treasure unto me above all people” (5) Indicate a high calling and privilege which Israel did not begin to appreciate, nor do we. See the repetition of the wonderful words in Deut vli, 6, and the full realization In Mai. Ill, 17, and margin, for only in the kingdom at His com ing again shall It be fully seen. Note the transfer of some privileges to the church In Matt xxl, 43; Tit 11, 14; 1 Pet ii. 9, and may He make,us all willing to be set apart wholly for Him self (Ps. lv, 3). We ore too apt to say thoughtlessly and hastily, as Israel did. "AH that the Lord hath spoken we will do” (verse 8 and chapter xxiv, 3, 7). or as Peter said, not knowing himself or his weakness. “Lord, I am ready to go with Thee, both into pris on and to death" (Luke xxli, 33). We are slow to learn that in us—that is. In our flesh—there dwelleth no good thing and that we are not sufficient of our selves to think anything as of our selves (Rom. vli, 18; II Cor. ill, 5). The rest of our lesson is a third day morning story (verses 10-21), but a story of thunder and lightning and fire and smoke and earthquake and a voice that made the people tremble and say to Moses. “Speak thou with us and we will hear, but let not God speak with us lest we die” (xx, 19). to which Moses replied, “Fear not. for God Is come to prove you and thnt His fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not” (xx, 20). Ten times it Is written that God spoke to them out of the midst of the fire (Deut. lv, 12. 15, 33, 36; v. 4, 22, 24, 26; lx, 10; x. 4), and it is also written. “Our God is a consum ing fire” (Deut. lv, 4). We shall un derstand this more fully in our next two lessons concerning the words that were spoken out of the midst of the fire, and we shall see the contrast be tween God speaking out of the midst of the fire and from off the mercy seat between tho cherubim. God speaking through Moses and not directly to the people Is like speak ing to us In Christ who Is our mercy seat The saying In Ex. xx, 21, that Moses drew near unto the thick dark ness where God was seems at first sight a little perplexing, for it Is writ ten that “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John L 5), but It is the human and the divine side. If we would walk in the light we must see things from God’s standpoint not from ourB. How often we are re minded of the greatness of Moses as a prophet whom the Lord knew face to face (Deut xxxiv, 10).' but we turn from Moses to the prophet like unto him who was God manifest in the flesh, the word mnde flesh, dwelling among us, who could say as no one else would dare to, “He that bath seen Me hath seen the Father” (Deut xvill, 18:1 Tim. Ill, 16; John 1. 14; xlv. 9). The Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord God of the holy prophets. Those who do not hear the voice of God in Christ may have to experience something like the voices and thunderlngs and light nings and earthquake of Rev. xvl, 17-19. The wrath of the Lamb will be a fearful reality to all who are not re deemed by the blood of the Lamb. Contrast Rev. v, 9, 10, with Rov. vi, 15-17. Sacred Harp Sing ing Last Sunday The annual Sacred Harp singing took place in LaGrange last Satur day and Sunday and a large crowd was present. Saturday morning was devoted to business meeting. President J. E. Maglon, of Langdale, Ala., called the assembly to order at 10 o’clock and the following officers were elected: J. E. Maglon, Langdale, Ala., president; W. W. Smith, Stroud, Ala.^ vioe- president; W. W. Thompson, La- Grange, secretary. The Arranging Committee was ap pointed as follows; C. L. Hearn, LaGgange, Ga., chairman; J. B. Dan iel, LaGrange, Ga.; J.

I Resolutions were passed whereby the Sacred Harp 3'nould continue to use the song book by that name, pub lished in Atlanta by J. L. White. This is the old original type of the hymn book. ■ For the 1914 meeting the follow ing men were appointed on a com mittee for the purpose of getting up a barbecue at the next singing; J B. Daniel, chairman; G. M. Edwards, F. P. Longley, J. P. Bennett, Mayor J. D. Edmundson and J. G. Truitt. The next Sacred Harp singing will ['be held the fourth Saturday in Aug ust, 1914. Part of Saturday and all of Sun- ray was devoted to singing. The Courthouse Auditorium could not hold the large crowds and many had to sit on the outside. Below is a list of the principal singers. W.

Prize Hat To Be Shown Here The Ladies Home Journal recently awarded four prizes for the most beautifully designed hat, taken from the old Rembrandt styles immortal- : ized by this famous painter. There were many designs offered in the contest, but the first prize was [awarded to Mr. C. M. Phipps, of New York. Mr. Phipps’ production was a J masterpiece in feminine head dress; ; modernized to suit the present-day fashions yet retaining enough of the I Rembrandt characteristic to give it a charming individuality. | Five hundred dollars was awarded for this design and it has become so [popular that the famous milliners in | New York and Paris have created ithis model to meet the demands of | the coming' season. The Rembrandt hat will undoubt- edly be the most worn style, not only i for the coming season but for sev- jeial, as the original Rembrandt paint ings vary in outline and the modern : creator of millinery has such a broad ; field for unique conceptions. Mr. H. S. Wooding, who does the buying for Callaway’s Department Store, of this city, secured a Rem brandt hat while on his recent buy ing trip to New York and the model will be shown at Callaway’s milli nery opening, about the 15th of Sep tember. This hat is an exact model of the first-prize hat in the Ladies Home Journal contest and it will undoubt edly be interesting to the ladies who visit this store during the opening days. CARD OF THANKS. I want to thank the relatives and friends and our good Dr. Frank Rid ley, Jr., and good nurse, Mrs. Grif fith, of West Point, for their kind at tention to our little girl during her long illness. May God bless each and every one Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Humphries. JUST GRIT! What counts for most, When mind and heart are tempest- tossed; When, after all, the fight seems lost ? Just grit! What saves the day, When plan and purpose go astray, And fortune strikes and flies away? Just grit! What does the job, When troubles plot your soul to rob, And foes assail you in a mob? Just grit! —T. C. Clark. They Probably Will. “Women’s skirt3 are to be tighter than ever the coming season.” “I don’t care, let ’em rip.” Atlanta, Ga.—There are persons In Georgia walking around with malaria, who do not know they have it. They have had all the symptoms of malaria one or more times, and when the symp toms are eliminated they think them selves cured. They attribute the re curring attacks to a fresh infection, whereas the cause la really within themselves. This Is known as chronic malaria, In which the patient retains within his body dormant elements of the dis ease; when these become active, as they may do at any time, all the symp toms of the disease again appear, and the patient has an acute attack. The causes of, and the methods of treating, chronic malaria are now well understood. The discovery of the ma larial parasite has resulted In the clearing up of practically everything that was formerly obscure In connec tion with malaria. Not only did this discovery bring knowledge of the means of transmission of the disease, but further Investigation has clearly shown how chronic malaria is produc ed and why it Is that quinine fails to relieve It. A few days after a man becomes Inoculated with malaria, through the bite of an Infected anopheles mosquito, two varieties of parasites are found in the blood. One of these is the ordi nary chill-producing pltfasite, which Is effectually killed by quinine; the oth er is the sexual form of the parasite and Is in no way affected by that drug. May Carry Them for Years. These sexual forms of the parasite, male and female, circulate in the blood for months and, possibly, years, simply waiting for the anopheles mosquito to suck them out; then, within the body of tlie mosquito, the union is formed between the male and, female para sites, and the production of the many young chill-causing malarial parasites follows; then these young parasites are injected into the blood of a man, when the mosquito bites, and an acute attack of malaria follows. The anopheles mosquito which is the sole conveyor of the malarial par asite, has been described in a former article. Resting with its body almost at right angles to the surface to which it attaches itself, it is easily distin guishable from the common form of mosquito, whose bent body, in rest, is almost parallel to the surface on which it alights. When it bites it Injects the chill-producing parasite Into the blood. Each of these para sites attacks a red blood corpuscle and soon divides Into from seven to twenty-five chill-producing parasites, and each of these, In turn, attacks an other red blood cell. This process goes on until, within a comparatively short time, a sufficient number of parasites has been produced to cause the symp toms of malaria. How It Becomes Chronic. After a person has had malaria for a short while, there are millions of these sexual parasites in the blood. The chill-producing parasites may have all been killed by quinine, and the patient may feel restored in health. But it lias been shown that occasional ly a female sexual parasite remaining In the blood, will, for some inexplica ble reason, suddenly breed or give off the chill-producing parasites, and these latter then begin to multiply rapidly. In a week or so they will cause the malarial chills just as thongh the pa tient had been inoculated by a mos quito. The foregoing explains the well- known fact that patients with chronic malaria have from time to time, re currences of the disease after having been apparently cured by quinine. It also shows how and why a patient ap parently cured, yet harboring the sex ual forms of the parasite, is just as dangerous in causing the spread of the disease as is one suffering from an acute attack. Cure of Chronic Malaria. It follows from the foregoing, says the Georgia State Board of Health, that the first step necessary is to kill the chill-producing parasite with qui nine, and then begin the administra tion of arsenic in aB large doses as possible, for It has been found that this drug kills the sexual form of the p&raBlte, though it is usually neces sary to administer It for several months before the object is attained. While giving the arsenic the patient should have a full dose of quinine ev ery few days, as otherwise some of the female sexual forms might sporu- late and give rise to some of the chill- producing forms which are not affect ed to any extent by arsenic. Arsenic, as is well known, is a poi sonous drug; and It Is likewise dan gerous for persons unfamiliar with quinine to administer that drug. It is essential, therefore, that in the proper treatment of malaria, a com petent physician be called, and that the patient follow explicitly his direc tions until he is pronounced eured. The State Board of Health is pre pared to make examinations of blood for malarial parasites free of cost, and will gladly make such tests and report the results to any one desiring them. Specimens should be address ed to Dr. H. F. Harris, Secretary State Board of Health, State Capitol, At lanta, Ga. If there is any doubt about It, the safest method is to have your physi cian send a specimen of your blood to the State Board. Don’t You Need a Shirt?

Phone No. 246-J New Georgia Store (From the New York Dry Goods Economist.) The Callaway’s Department Store, LaGrange, Ga., was recently removed to a new three story and basement building, a structure of thoroughly modem type and occupying a corner location. The frontals are of white brick. Owing to the slope of the side street, the basement is on the street, level at the rear and is there reached by a spacious ent-ance. On the main floor arae piece goods, men’s wear, shoes, soda fountain and general offices. The second floor is devoted to women’s wear, millinery and house furnishings. There is also a comfortably furnished rest room. On the third floor are rugs, etc. Throughout the building the fix tures are of the most up-to-date char acter. The seats in the shoe depart ment are of the individual opera style, finished in mahogany. In the millinery department are cabinets with glass sliding doors and having dust-proof drawers in the bases. In the center of the department is 56- inch shelving with show cases on each side. Cabinets for the women’s clothing are similar to those in stalled in some of the high-cjiss stores in New York. The equipment includes a passenger elevator and a private telephone exchange. The Modern Viewpoint. The late Bradley Martin,” so the Washington Star quotes a New York club man, “had a very polished and cynical wit. “Bradley Martin, apropros of an aged millionaire’s marriage to a debu tante, once recounted to me a con versation between two girls. “The first girl, lunching with a friend, said: “ ‘I know he’s rich, but isn’t he too old to be considered eligible?’ “ ‘My dear,” answered the other girl, ‘he’s too eligible to be con sidered old.’ ” LAUGH IT OFF. “When you feel like ‘falling in,’ Laugh it off; When you’re sorry you ‘have been’ Laugh it off; Feeling ‘blue’ don’t help a bit; Better to be ‘glad of it’— Laugh it off. Keep your sense of humor bright, Laugh it off; Polish it with all your might, Laugh it off; Nothing matters over much, Tighten up your wisdom clutch— I am writing this to YOU, Laugh it off; Like as not ’twill help me to Laugh it off; Ravens perch upon my door, But I whisper ‘Never more.’ And—laugh it off.’ ” —Meriwether Vindicator, June 21. Painfully Mixed. A very fashionable young man stopped at a florist’s one hot summer and to order a box of flowers sent to his lady love. At the same time he also purchased a design for the funeral of a friend. On the card for the box he wrote: “Hoping this may help you bear the heat.” The other card bore the one word, “Sympathy.” Very soon the girl telephoned: “Thank vou so much ror the floweret But why did you write ‘Sympathy’ on the card?"—National Monthly.
