Morn called fondly to n fair boy straying
'Mid green niondows rich with golden
dew;
She enlls—but hu thinks of naught save
playing, '
And so site smiles nnd waves him an
adieu,
While ho, still merry with his flowory
store,
Dreams not than Morn, Aveet. Morn, re
turns no moro.
Noon comoth;—but the boy, to nmnhood
growing,
Heeds not the time;—ho soos but a
sweet form,
One young fair face from bowers of .jas
mine glowing,
And all bis loving heart with bliss
iB ,vn rm;
So Noon, unnoticed, seeks the weetorn
shore,
And man forgets that Noon returns no
moro.
Night tappeih gently at a easement
gleaming
With the thin firelight, flickering, and
low,
Bv which n grny-hnired man :'s sadly
dreaming .
’ O’er pleasures gone—as life’s pleas
ures go;—
Night unlls him to her;—ho leaves his
door, ,
Silent nnd dark, and he returns no moro.
OUR NATIONAL PERIL.
Sunday-School Magazine.
One of the most porslstont obsessions
of mankind is that the really desirhblo
thing on earth is material prosperity,
and that the .extent of such prosperity
is the measure of a nation’s success nnd
stability—one of the most persistent and
yet one of the most unreasonable, for
not only is such a bolief contrary to tlio
teaching of "the Bible, but also to the
plain lessi.n.i of human history. The
great prophets of Israel worn constantly
warning both their own people round
about thorn against tlio danger that
lurked in increasing riehos, and trying
to make thorn understand that, only
righteousness could pernmin-mrly exalt
a nation. How futile and impotent tliolr
Warnings must have appcavo.1 to J'.’gyjH
and Babylonia and Assyria nnd Phoe
nicia in tlio days of their splendor mid
their pride 1 And yet how literally and
terribly these prophecies have all been
fulfilled I They must have seemed itli
pregnable, those groat powers of the an
cient world, with their Hoots, their ar
mies, their vast wealth, and their treas
ures of literature and art; but today only
imposing ruins mark tiro places of tlieir
grandeur. And on all theeo ruins the
same legend might woll bo written:
1 ‘ Perished for lack of righteousness. ’ ’
The recent history of Germany and
Austria illustrates the same .lesson that,
comes to us from the dead empires of
the East. It was, after all, the right
eous indignation and distrust of tho
civilized world that brought about the
downfall of these proud and mighty
nations, and it was their arrogance,
their selfishness, and their utter dlsre
gard of moral sanctions which awaken
ed this indignation and distrust and
finally made them so intense that they
found expression -in marshaled armies
fired with irresistible passion. God al
ways finds some way of humbling tho
pride and breaking the might of the
nation that puts its trust in riches and
attempts to increase its wealth by rob
bery a-nd injustice, .
Our nation never faced a moro seri
ous crisis in its history than it faces
today. It is in the midst of an ora of
unparalleled prosperity. ' Its supremacy
in the financial world is undisputed and
its advantage is increasing with a rap
idity that oven itself can scarcely real
Ize. Would it not bo safe to assume,
oven if there were no outstanding facts
to indicate it, that the old prophetic
warning against the subtle danger of
prosperity is in order f
It would be useless, however, for us
to refuse to see that there are such facts
Everybody who . faces the situation
with open eyes knows that we are in
the midst of an orgy of greed ami ex
ploitntion that lias no parallel in our
history. Our people have simply grown
wild with money-getting and are in
dulging in a riot of extravagance and
self-indulgence which causes tho sober
minded among us to stand aghast.
Meanwhile there are striking indicu
tions that the moral idealism which was
exhibited during the great war has al
ready suffered a sad decline. Our fine
talk about the brotherhood of the na
tions, our responsibility to civilization,
making the world safe for democracy
and insuring permanent international
peace by establishing international
justice and good will has ceaqeil. We
ere now talking about our independ
ence and planning to maintain the ad
vantage which the war' has brought us,
without regard to thp interests and
i eeds of our distracted and suffering
nc-ighbdrs.' Instead of America for the
peace and civilization of the w irld, we
vre proclaiming America for Ameri
cans. Wo have even declined to an
swer the cry of starving wompn and
children in the crushed und bleeding
countries of the Old World, und we
seem willing to sit down in pur smug
complacency and allow the whole Ar
menian race to be starved and murder
ed by the barbarous Turks.
It is easy to find excuses. Perhaps
the most common and plausible is that
we have already done our" share m tho
rubbers we inented In help in b inging
about victory for the allies. But the
answer is so simple that even a child
can hardly fail to understand it: (1)
The war was our war as much as that
of England, Prance, and Italy. We
knew all along that the triumph of Ger
man imperialism would imperil our lib
erties as well as our commerce, and we
entered into the struggle at last because
we knew we must do go foi our own
protection. (2) The sacrifices we made
to avert the awful danger which threat
ened the democracies of the world were
as nothing compared to those of
our allies in the great conflict.
And v ; > 1 while wo did loan vast ii.u-is to
Europe and spent still'■ vaster » mis l. n-
equipping our army and im\y, yet wo
aro bound to confess llmt, taken .is a
Whole, tho war Ims Immoasurnuly increas
ed our material resources and on * llnnii-
rial advantage. We have grown rich
tut of 1 ho world's misfortune: und sun
pie 1 justice as woll ns tho dictates of
humanity demand thnt-we uso our power
in trying to relievo tho wants of our
suffering fellows and to help them to re
sort r from the awful calamities that have
cvc-rtnken thorn.
jfint tlio call to such idealism seems
just now to fnll on deaf oars. '‘Ameri
ca for Americans," we reply, and rush
op in our riot of gottlug and spending.
Surely some arresting word needs to bn
spoljoii, some arresting Influence brought
to hour, to cheek us in our folly. And
wlmt’ agency is thoro that has tlio needed
message or that is capable of exerting
tho saving Influence due the Church of
God'i If thoro was evor a tlmo when tho
situation enllod for the highest courage
nnd the most unshnkon fidelity from those
who believe in Christ nnd Ills idoals, it
is flow.’ Such courngo ami fidelity may
sayo our country from unspeakable cu-
lnpiitios. Nothing else cnn.

The first and foremost factor which
enables the boll weevil to got along m
a strange country when everybody is
agnitiHt, him is tho fact thnt ho behoves
in largo families. Again, his children
marry nnd sot. up housekeeping at a
very early ngo. All his children. be-
lievo in largo families. These families
nro raised rapidly. Under most fa/oruMo
conditions it is only twelve dnyB from
ogg to mature weevil.
A single pair of weevils in a single
season cun multiply and replenish the
earth to thb time of Homothlng like 12,-
000,000.
Then, ngain, the weevil is able to
adapt himself to a vory wldo range of
climatic ami economic conditions. Ho
enn go Bix months or more without food.
Ho merely snoozes' at hard times and
waits for his 'dny. "
During warm wonthor tho nortnal lifj
