Golden Text For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Rom. 8:14.) For some strange reason most Christian people have little realiza- tion of the tremendous place God has given to the office and work of the Holy Spirit in this present age of grace. This lesson is to be wel- comed, therefore, as it focusses the study of the Christian world on this vital theme The Serrature select- ions have been made with wisdom and thoroughness. Any class ei' student going through them faith- fully will gain a rich insight into the ministry of the Third Person of the Trinity.

"How can we distlirguleh alt. j from stupor and enma, 1ronl syncope or tainting, and from cate'iepsy, all of which possess elements of that lowering of consciousness which we associate with eleep? Sleep is dis- tinguished from stupor and coma by the rapidity and completeness of the return to wakefulne.,.,. In catalepsy we have a muscular rigidity in con- trast to the flaccidity of sleep. Paint- ing has an evanescence ar,d unex- pectedness not a'sociated with sleep. Although in this manner we can dis- tinguish sleep from other phenomena, we still have no definition of sleep itself• 'Sleep, as we know it, has a rhythmicity. or regularity of recur- rence; ecurrence; it is reversible In that we pass from a state of waking normalcy in- to sleep, and from sleep back into the state of waking normalcy. Sleep se- lects mud suppresses our responses to the usual stimuli so that we are not waked by every gleam of light, by every sound, by every chance odor,. In addition, during sleep many et our bodily and mentalprocesses proceed on a plane lower than that of con- sciousness. "Sleep has been explained in many different fashions, and each new school of physiology and of psych- ology has its own explanation. "Sleep has been interpreted as a death -wish, as an instinct, as an In- toxication, and as a condltoned re- flex. In this range we have some of the latest advances of science and probably some of the latest fads. "There are some features of the instinct theory that may be of in- terest. We know that certain birds fry southward in anticipation of the approa;•h of winter, or that they build nests in anticipation of the lay- ing of eggs. There seems to be the eaten" kind of anticipatory quality in sleep. We sleep in order nut to be- come exhausted; we sleep, as it were, against exhaustion. If we become extremely exhausted it sometimes in- terferes with sleep." of righteousness, and of judgment. I The great sin of the world, which the Holy Spirit brings home, is its rejection of Christ. Christ is the righteousness of God, and when Christ left the world to go to the Father the world had no right- eousness left in it; therefore the Holy Spirit had to take Christ's place in this, and show the world the real 'meaning of righteousness. The word "judgment" has never been popular with men, most of whom prefer Satan's rule to God's. The Holy Spirit faithfully confronts the world with the necessity of judg- ment, and with the fact that "the prince of this world," or Satan, is already judged of God unto his eter- nal destruction, and therefore all who accept Satan's rule must be so judged. Christ went on to declare that the Spirit would show them things that they could not understand, or "bear," if He (Christ) were to tell them thee. The Spirit would guide them t -,11 truth"; this was done when the Spirit came and completed the full r ve"ation of truth for mankind 1 by inspiring the writing of the en- tire New Testament.

The pilot of an airplane flying over the town of Bobblingen, near Stutt- gart, was astonished to see a group of factories and houses on which he was gazing suddenly vanish from view, wrapped in a dense cloud of white "smoke." It was an experiment carried out by a party of engineers and German Air Ministry officials who were test- ing a wonderful new device for the proteetian of towns from air attack. The device, which is the invention of Dr. Reddeman, the German gas ex- pert, enables a city to render itself invisible within a few seconds by the mere pressing of an electric button. Ten vessels, each containing twen- ty-four gallons of a secret chemical substance, had been placed on the ground at intervals of seventy yards round the buildings. At the approach of the airplane, Dr, Reddeman touch- ed a button, and clouds of dense fog were belched forth by the containers. Within six seconds clouds 200 feet high lay stretched over an area of 500 sonars yards. It is claimed that the "Magic Cur- tain," " as the device has been nam- ed, will be of greater protection to cities against air attacks than the strongest barrage from anti-aircraft guns, The great seaport of Cuxhaven has already begun the construction of a powerful plant at which sufficient of Dr. Reddeman'e gas will be stored to veil the city in case of war. I Where Wives Are Bought. The high cost of wives in Damas- cus Is driving the young men of that city to revolt. At a big protest meet- ing of bachelors, many men com- plained bitterly about the exorbitant domande of the fathers of attractive daughters, and one youth reported that he had been obliged to buy his wife on the Installment plan, Reso- lutions were passed demanding the introduction al European marriage customs in Damascus, especially the one providing that parents of girls are supposed to give them doweries, instead of asking payment from their prospective husbands.
