Esther Was Alarmed.
Esther, a five-year-old daughter of
North side parents, heard much about
the dangers of diphtheria, and was
eager to observe every precaution to
keep from coming into contact with
ft, that she and her two brothers
might not “catch it.”
One day she insisted on-going to
the grocery on the corner teo spengd
her penny, aiad was warned by her
mother not to stop and play with any
children she might meet on the way.
After having been gone only a few
minutes, she rushed into the house
much excited, exclaiming as she en
tered:
“Mamma, you must keep 'ose boys
away from Mr. A.’s house, 'cause they
have diphtheria and have 'a sign
up.n
Her mother said: “Is that so?
What does the sign say?” 5
“It says f-or s-a-l-e,” said Esther.—

IR A Q.dlwl
By Bev. William fl'fl?&‘tfiugfi%fi ?‘l,‘ble Course
LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 11.
THE BOY JESUS IN THE TEMPLE.
LESSON TEXT-Luke 2:40-52. ' '
GOLDEN 'lgx'r-—“fld,w is it that ye
sought me? ist ye not that I must be
about my Father's business.”—Luke 2:49.
MEMORY VERSES—46, 47. :
This lesson is the one solitary in
stance recorded in the strangely seal
ed thirty years of the Master's life.
Here is an illustration of -what is
meant by the inspiration of election
—only those things that were of vital
and redemptive importance in the life
of Jesus are vecorded. John says,
“Many other signs truly did Jesus
which ar. not written in this’ book:
But -th’ se are written, that ye might
Delie e that Jesus -is- the Christ, the
son- of God; and that believing ye
might have life through his name.”
For this reason, we should value every
word that is written.
The lesson furnishes a model in
character - building for the youth.
Jesus is the example, and the model
boy. Jesus was a real boy. He ate,
drank, played, grew, asked quéstions,,
just as other boys do.
His character, like all other char-
acter building, was a growth: “He in
creased in wisdom -and stature.” No
character is instantaneous; it is the
work of growth and of years, indeed,
of a lifetime. An icicle is formed drop
by drop. Character is formed by sin
gle words and acts.! A mushroom may
grow in a night, but surely not the
character of a man. Just as words
and sentences are formed by means
of the single letters of the alphabet,
so words, thoughts, deeds, actions,
looks, motives—these are the alphabet
from which we spell character. Sow
a thought, and reap a word; sow a
word, and reap an act; sow an act,
and reap a habit; sow a habit, and
reap a character; sow a character, and
reap a destiny.
Christ‘s character was developed in
the home. He had a Christian home—
the greatest gift of God this side of
heaven. What chanc¢e has many a
child today to build character in a
home where the parents know not God,
never read the Bible, never pray, nev
er go to church! If for no other rea
son, parents should become Christians
for their children’'s sake. If our chil
dren are lost, we parents are to blame,
unless we have set before them the
example of a Christian life.
As a boy, Christ was obedient to his
parents. This was a manly thing.
Parents are in the place of God to the
child: God cannot be everywhere, so
he made parents. The first command
ment on the second table is obedience
to parents, and it is the first com
mandment with a promise. The apron
strings of the mother may become the
reins of government of the nation, We
must obey. before we can command.
The character of Jesus was develop
ed in the church also. His parents
were churchgoers, and they had cul
tivated that habit in the child. In
speaking of Jesus as a churchgoer,
Luke says that ‘“as his custom was,
he went into the synagogue.” What
great thoughts must have come to the
mind of C* 3 he visited the tem
ple! Whal . .ant potentialities were
aroused as he sat and listened to the
exposition of God’s word! Humanly
speaking, Christ owed a great deal in
the development of his character to
his attendance at the temple. Can a
symmetrical character be produced
outside of the church and religion?
We think not; certainly the best char
acter cannot be produced in one who
ignores these. In spite of all her fail
ures, the church is the best institution
in the world today for the building of
character. We do our children a great
wrong when we deprive them of the
privileges of the church.
But Jesus was also a member of the
Bible school-—the teaching part of the
church. This is evident from the fact
that the instruction received was in
answering and asking questions. No
doubt many of the Scripture passages
quoted by hipp were learned in thé
Jewish Biblé school. - . : :
The boy Jesus was an interested
as well as an interesting scholar in
the school. He was no mere visitor.
He came with a well prepared lesson,
‘and-that indicated that he had studied
the lesson; at home under the instrue
‘tion of*his parents. What a lesson for

A REST FOR LA FOLLETTE

Washington.—A complete rest of
two or three weeks has been prescrib

that time he will be able to resumec

JUST A LITTLE TOO HASTY
Mr. Newlywed Resented What He
Considered Impertinence, but the
Joke Was on Him.
They were on their wedding tour,
and imagined that every civility giv
en them related te their new condi
tion :of servitude.
Having stopped at a way station,
the bridegroom was approached by
the station agent, who asked:
“Are you going to take the next
tram?”
“It's- none of your business,” re
torted the bridegroom, indignantly, as
he guided the bride up the platform,
where they:-condoled with each other
over the unpex‘&inence of some of the
natives.
Onward came the train, its vapor
curling from afar. It was the last to
their destination that day—an express.
Nearer and nearer it came at full
speed; then in A moment it whizzed
past and was gomne.
“Why in thunder didn’t that train
stop?”’ yelled the bridegroom.
“Cos you said ’'twarn't none of my
bizress. 1 has to signal if that train’s
to stop.” ~
. No Waves.
A young mother who still considers
Marcel waves as the most fashionable
way of dressing the hair was at work
on the job.
The precocious child was crouching
on its father’s lap, the baby fingers
now and then siiding over the smooth
and glossy pate which is father’s.
“No waves for you, father,” re
marked the Little One. “You're all
beach.”
THE CARELESS GROCER
Blundered, and Great Good Came of It.
A careless grocer left the wrong
package at a Michigan home one day
and thereby brought a great blessing
to the household.
“Two years ago I was a sufferer from
stomach troubles, so acute that the
effort to digest ordinary food gave me
great pain, and brought en a condition
of such extreme nervousness that I
ould not be left alone. I thought I
should certainly become insane. 1 was
s 0 reduced in flesh that I was littie bet
ier than a living skeicton. The doc
torg failed to give me relief and I de
spaired of recovery.
“One day our groceryman left a
package of Grape-Nuts food by mis
take, so I tried some for dinner. I was
surprised to find that it satisfied my
appetite and gave me no distress what
ver. The next meal 1 ate of it again,
and to be brief, I have lived for the
past year almost exclusively on Grape-
Nuts. It has proved to be a most
healthful and appetizing food, per
fectly adapted to the requirements of
my system.
“Grape-Nuts is not only easily di
gested and assimilated, but I find that
since I have been using it I am able
to eat anything else my appetite fan
cies, without trouble from indiges
tion. The stomach trouble and ner
vousness have left me, I have regain
ed my plumpness and my views of
life are no longer despondent and
zloomy.
“Other members of my family, espe
cially my husband, (whose old enemy,
the ‘heart-burn,’ has been vanquished)
have also derived great benefit from
the use of Grape-Nuts food and we
think no morning meal complete with
out it.” Name given by Postum Co.,

plained in the little book, “The Road
