GETTING SCHWAB’S PICTURE
the hill. Slowly the car came toward the photographer, and pretty soon he
saw who were in it —none other than Mr. Schwab himself and Mrs. Schwab.
For some reason or other they didn’t see the photographer until they
were right under him, and then it was too late to act. The picture man
smiled as he saw Mr. Schwab turn up a shielding arm full ten seconds after
the camera had clicked. Then, as he realized the futility of it all, he turned
toward the photographer and called out:
“If there had been two roads into this town instead of one, I’d have kept
you guessing, all right!”
WARWICK, THE IMPERTURBABLE
Imperturbability is something
much to be desired by a public official,
particularly by one occupying a quasi
judicial position. Combine it with
knowledge and a habit of thorough
ness and it gives an equipment bound
to command success.
Search through the departments
at Washington and you will find im
perturbability exhibited in its finest
development in the person of W’alter
W. Warwick, the new comptroller of
। the treasury.
Seated at his desk in a spacious
room in the treasury department, fac
ing an always open door, he is the
very picture of imperturbability. He
looks like one who would merely say
“tut, tut,” should a 42-centimeter
bomb explode in his vicinity—and
leave enough of him to say “tut, tut.”
And that is as it should be, for it
is the habit of other public officials of
this great and good government con
stantly to be exploding oral and argu-
mentative 42-centimeter bombs in the vicinity of the comptroller of the
treasury.
No matter what his title may be, the comptroller of the treasury in
reality is the auditor in chief of the United States government. Which also
means that he is the buffer between congress, the appropriating arm, and the
executive, the expending arm. From both sides he is bombarded.
SUCCESSOR TO COMSTOCK
and fight hard for success. The primary need for a man of physical strength
and courage is not so marked in these days. Where once the indecencies
which the society fights to keep down were brazenly open, today the of
fenders work in comparative secrecy. To combat them now is largely a
question of a little detective work.”
SAYS WORLD’S END IS NEAR
“We knew the war was coming. A
greater one, we are sure, will follow.
Germany and Austria are not fighting
for territory in the West. They are
struggling for dominion in the East,
for the control of Constantinople and
Asia. Their eyes look off toward
Armageddon.
“No matter how this war ends,
there will be another. First, however,
there will be a lull, a measuring of
new methods and tools, after which
will come the last battle of human
history near Armageddon. China and
Japan will be fighting with the rest.
Then the second coming of Christ and
the resurrection.”
So spoke Elder A. G. Daniells,
bead of the Seventh-day Adventists,
ind so the members of that church
believe.
There is nothing suggestive of a
Hebrew prophet in the looks, manner
>r voice of Elder Daniells. He is
Tiendly of countenance, modern
hough plain in his dress and willing always undogmatically to elucidate his
■eiigious views. After a missionary tour lasting 14 months in the Orient he
•ecently returned to the headquarters of his church at Takotna Park, on the
lortheast edge of the District of Columbia.
A photographer tells how he out-!
witted Charles M. Schwab, the steel
man, in order to get a photograph of
him.
The photographer was sent to Lo
retto, the little Pennsylvania moun
tain town where Schwab spent his
boyhood, and where he has built him
self a magnificently appointed country !
home. It was easy enough to secure
Mr. Schwab’s permission to photo
graph his residence, and, in fact,
everything that belonged to him in
Loretto except himself and Mrs.
Schwab.
The steel magnate left town one
morning before the photographer
arose. On the day appointed for Mr.
Schwab’s return the picture man, hir
ing a trap, drove along the stage road
until he reached a high hill just a mile
beyond the village. Here he hitched
his horse and seated himself on a ten
• foot embankment. Two hours later a

In case a younger sister of the

“The only difference will be the

smiled the quiet-spoken young man.
“You must also remember that times

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 21
JONAH A MISSIONARY TO
NINEVEH.
LESSON TEXT—Jonah 3:1-10.
GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye therefore, and
make disciples of all nations, baptising
I them into the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit; teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I
: command you; and 10, I am with you al
ways, even unto the end of the world.—
Matt. 28:19, 20 R. V.
The story of Jonah is one of the
most famous and most interesting in
the Bible. In former series of lessons
more extended use has been made of
the book giving time to discuss its
historicity and other questions in
volved. This time only one reference
is used and that for the purpose of its
missionary teaching. We accept the
record of the book literally because
similar facts are recorded in profane
history but chiefly because of the tes
timony and the usage made of it by
Jesus (see Matt. 12:40; 16:4 and
Luke 11:30).
I. The Prophet Proclaiming, vv. 1-4.
Jonah “paid the fare” (1:3) and “out
of the depths” (Ps. 130:1) God de
livered him that he might fulfill his
God-appointed task. Even so the na
tion of Israel is today crying from out
of the depths of its woe among the
nations and will certainly be “deliv
ered'” when the king comes, that it
may take its rightful place and fulfill
its God-appointed tasks. It is a won
derful testimony of God’s grace (vi)
that God’s word came to Jonah a “sec
ond time.” Once he ran from God’s
command but God is the God of the
gospel of a “second chance” and a
third if only we repent and do his
commands, but God does not give a
“second chance” to the unrepentant
(Num. 14:40-45). Verse two explicitly
sets forth the message Jonah is to de
liver even so we are to proclaim the
Gospel (see I Cor. 15:1-4) not the spec
ulations of men nor the subtleties of
philosophy. The messenger of God
will find his message in the word of
God and will declare it. It is the
word which reveals God’s love, his
plan of salvation, and the destiny of
the saints. "By the foolishness of
preaching” men will be saved. The
word “preach” literally means “to cry
out” or “call out” and implies that
earnestness and insistence needful for
a true advocate or witness of God.
But the power is not in us; it is not
the word of God mingled with the the
ories of men, or with such added to
the word. The Bible is the soul win
ners true staff. Nineveh, vast magnif
icent and wealthy could not atone
for its wickedness; its greatness only
aggravated its condition. Jonah did
not spend any time to acquaint him
self with conditions or to do sight
seeing but cried, “yet forty days, and
Nineveh shall be overthrown.” When
he explicitly and minutely obeyed
and delivered God’s message he at
once aroused and arrested the atten
tion of the city. He did not attempt
to present “credentials,” nor explain
or defend his message. He did not
seek to harmonize it with “cur
rent thought” nor give it a “mod
ern expression.” He was blunt
and without compromise but gave an
opportunity for repentance.
11. The People Penitent, vv. 5-10.
Nineveh paid immediate heed to the
man who did not slur over God’s warn
ing. Had the city continued in sin, it
had not been delivered. Nineveh did
four things and as a result they were
saved: (1) They believed, “believed
God” (v. 5). All true repentance is
conditioned upon accepting God at
his word (John 13:20). (2) They
evidenced humiliation (v. 6). They
gave such evidence by humbling them
selves in the sight of God from the
king upon the throne to “even the
least.” There was no apparent attempt
to qualify or to evade God’s decree,
but rather to accept it and by taking
a proper place in his sight be deliv
ered from the penalty of their just
deserts. (3) They prayed (v. 8; cf.
6,7). Their prayer was intense. The
kind of prayer that counts with God
must also count upon God, and God
“is slow to anger, and plenteous in ;
mercy” (Neh. 9:17). Prayer that is
effective is (a) grounded upon the
word of God (b) forsakes sin and (c)
obeys the will of God. (James 1:22;
2:17). (4) They made sacrifice (v. 8).
Mere humiliation and prayer does not
effect a remedy unless there is a mer
ciless judgment executed upon sin.
Did Jonah fail in his mission? No!
for God’s predictions of ruin are not
absolute and unconditional (Jer.
18:7-10). Chapter four is the record '
of Jonah’s petulance and of God’s lov
ing-kindness.
Nineveh continued for nearly 200 (
years subsequently but it was then so
completely destroyed that for nearly
2,000 years its location was unknown
and disputed though now yielding a '
rich harvest for the archeologist and '
Bible student.

TEXT—The Lord is my shepherd; I
shall not want.—Psalm 23:1.
This beautiful psalm needs no com
mendation, for even the people ot the
■ ■ world know and
love it in their
own way as do
the people of God
in a different way.
However, it is the
.latter only who
are able to lay the
emphasis on the
possessive pr o -
noun, “my”—“The
Lord is my shep
herd.” It is this
pronoun that
makes all the dif
ference as to our
understanding of
the psalm and its
preciousness to
our souls. To know its deepest mean
ing one must have received the Lord
Jesus Christ as his Savior and con
fessed him as his Lord. Then in a
real sense does he become his shep
herd and with confidence such a soul
can say, “I shall not want.” Note the
future tense here. The child of God
does not want for any good thing, and
shall not w-ant forevermore.
1. If the Lord is my shepherd then
he is causing me to lie down in green
pastures, which means that I am daily
feeding on his Holy Word. The Scrip
tures are the green pastures in which
the sheep have their soul hunger sat
isfied, so that they are able to rest in
sweet content. We can easily deter
mine how far the Lord can be called
our shepherd by the time and thought
we give to the Bible, the strength we
receive from it, and the love we have
for it.
2. If the Lord is my shepherd then I
am enjoying the communion of the
Holy Spirit because he is leading me !
beside the still waters. The still wa- ■
ters are a symbol of the Holy Spirit
who dwells within the true believer in
Christ, to guide him in his perplexi
ties, to comfort him in his trials, to
soothe him in his sorrows, and to
enlighten the eyes of his heart in- the
knowledge of God and his precious
promises.
3. If the Lord is my shepherd then
I am experiencing continually the re
newing of my spiritual strength, for
he restoreth my soul. The sheep some
times wanders away from the flock
and gets torn amid the brambles, or
by the attacks of wild beasts. Or pos
sibly he falls among the rocks and
breaks a limb. The shepherd binds
up his wounds and knits his broken
bones, and in a spiritual sense our
shepherd does the same for us. It is
this precious truth that is set before
us in those words of John where he
says, “If we confess our sins he is
faithful and just to forgive us our '
sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.”
4. If the Lord is my shepherd then
I am surrendering my will to him day
by day, and for that matter moment j
by moment, for otherwise he cannot
be leading me in the paths of right
eousness. Observe that the believer
on Christ has already been led into
those paths, but now he is being led
in them as he yields himself to God
for that purpose.
5. If the Lord is my shepherd then
I am not failing to trust his promises,
for if I fail there I am unable to tes
tify, as in the fourth verse of the
Psalm, “I will fear no evil.” The
moment we lose our trust in God the
fear of evil takes possession of us,
but he whose confidence is reposed in
him can press to his heart the prom
ise in the first chapter of Proverbs:
“Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall ,
dwell safely, and shall betquiet from !
fear of evil.”
6. If the Lord is my shepherd then I
am continually enjoying security and
peace, for such is the meaning of the
words. “Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies.”
In the Orient the enemies of the sheep
are the wild beasts just referred to.
hidden away in the darkness, ready
to spring upon their prey when unpro
tected by the shepherd’s presence. But
when he is there they feed in safety
on the green pastures and their ene
mies are powerless.
7. If the Lord is my shepherd then I ;
am experiencing joy and gladness,
and rendering service of the same kind
to others that are about me. for such
is the significance of the words. "Thou
anointest my head with oil. my cup
runneth over.” The true Christian is
filled to overflowing, and those that
are round about him get the benefit of
the overflow in refreshing showers
of blessing.
8. If the Lord is my shepherd then I
am the possessor of eternal hope cov
ering both this life and that which is
to come, “for surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of
my life, and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever.”
May this blessing come to all of you.
and it will come If you will receive
the instruction set before you at the
beginning of this message, and believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and be
saved, for he hath snid, "Him that
cometh unto me I will in no wise cast
out.
Indigestion May Be
Due to Constipation
Neglect of Important Func
tion May Seriously Im
pair the Health.
There are many people who believe
they suffer from indigestion when their
discomfort really is due to a constipat
ed condition.
Bloat, with its attendant mental de
pression, sick-headache, the belching
of sour stomach gases, etc., are fre
quently due to inaction of the bowels.
Relieve the congestion and the trouble
usually disappears. The use of cathar
tics and purgatives should be avoided,
however; these shock the system un
necessarily and, at best, their effect is
but temporary. A mild laxative is far
preferable.
The compound of simple laxative
herbs known as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin and sold in drug stores for fifty
cents a bottle, is highly recommended.
Mr. Benj. Bassin, 360 Madison St.,
Gary, Ind., thinks Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin a wonderful medicine; for four
years he had a severe case of indiges
tion and constipation before trying Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which he is
glad to recommend to all who suffer

Henry of Prussia Evidently One of
Those Leaders Who Do Not Say
“Go!” but “Come!”
Prince Henry of Prussia is an ar
dent sailor, says Pearson’s Weekly,
but he is kpown among the bluejack
ets as a great martinet, and they fear
rather than love him. The following
story is typical of his methods, and
show's that, although he expects those
under his command to put up with all
kinds of hardships, he is by no means
above “roughing it” himself.
One day, when he was on board a
warship in the North sea, he suddenly
gave the order, “All hands to bathe!”
It was a bitterly cold day and the
water was like ice. The order was so
evidently distasteful that one of the
officers ventured to make a mild pro
test to the prince. Without answering
him a single word. Prince Henry, al
though fully clothed, sprang over the
vessel’s side, swam out a good dis
tance in the icy water, and returned
• to the deck dripping from head to
: foot.
After that, the sailors took their
bath without demur.

But Irishman, From the Land of Large
Families Was Naturally Inter

Two young kindergarten teachers,
intelligent and attractive, while riding
down on the street car, were engaged
in an animated discussion. In the
seat behind them sat a good-natured,
fatherly-looking Irishman, enjoying a
nap. Finaly one inquired of the
other:
“How many children have you?”
“Twenty-two.” she replied; “and how
many have you’”
“Oh, I have only nineteen,” replied
the first.
At this point the Irishman, now
wide awake with astonishment, leaned
forward in his seat, and. without any
formality, inquired in a loud voice:
“What part of Ireland did you’se
come from?’ —New York World.
In America and Germany.
