INTERNATIONAL LESSON
JANE 29.
Lesson XIII.—Response to God's
Love, Phil. 3:7-14. Golden Text,
•
Psalms 86: 12.
The lessons of the past quarter
have dwelt upon the highest subjects
of human thought ---God. Christ, the
Holy Spirit, human nature, sin. grace,
repentance; faith, obe-lier,ae, prayer
and love. What have we learned of
all these, and what have ice made our
own permanent possession to enrich
mind and heart?. Our opportunity
has been great; have we proflta 1 by
it?
Three -great outstanding foote
have learned: (1) That God is our
Father in heaven, loving IIis children,
even the erring and lost One0, with a
father's changeless love; (2) That
the gracious love of God in Jesus
Christ and through His Spirit has
entered into the world to redeem, re-
generate and save; and 1.3) That our
re:Ilnae to God's teorit of lice: In
Jeeas Christ is in 11110(re re3entan.•e,
faith, doing God's will, prayer. and
above 011 love. love both to God and
our fellow men.
This response to the love of God,
which it is our h!gh privilege and joy
to make is described in the pas=_age
selected for to -day's reading. It is,'
Paul says: (1) The willingni e to put
everything else aside, to "count all
things but loss, for the excelleney of
the knowledge of Chri: t Jesus, my,

Lord," It is (2) to follow Christ in
.the way of faith, doing our appointed,
task as a service rendered to God,
and so finding not a righteousness of
our own devising, but "the righteous-
ness- which is of God by faith." And
it is (11 seeking to know Christ and,
cion through suffering, if it be nec-
essary, to rise with Him into the
triumphant life of the Spirit, and to
press forward in the strength and
hope of this new life to the attain-
ment of the "prize of the high calling
of God in Christ ,Tesus," that is the
Life eternal.
Our response, then, is in putting
Christ first, in followingHim, and
in seeking to be like Him. Through
Him we tome to God. His presence
with u5 now is in the reality and
power of the Spirit. We trust in Him
and yield ourselves to His command.
He binds us to Himself by the indis-
soluble bond of love. He gives eter-
nal life. He is "abundantly able to
?ave."
It will be well, thercfotc, to make
the review lesson centre in Christ,
and to think chiefly of our relation
to Iiim, our choosing of Him as Lord
and Master, our enlisting in His ser -
rice, e,ur finding true life in Him.
We may trunk ..iso of what Christ is
doing in ,aril for the world, the spread
of His gospel. His power over the
hearts of men. His law of peace and
good r ill, His supreme obedience to
the loo'• of love, which He would
make, through ,lie Spirit. the law of
all the world.

Miss Canada: "Please suggest a
new way of charging admission to
our club lawn party to be Held on
Dominion Day to raise funds for sup-
plies." Announce that a "luxury
tax" will be levied at the entrance
gate and that those who attend the
lawn party should wear plain attire.
Should any of the guests bedeck
themselves with non -essentials, they
s11a11 be obliged to play a tax to be
imposed by a selected committee. The
committee assembles just inside the
entrance. and all tvlto attend must
submit to an examination. Taxes are
levied according to the prepared list,
and the sum total represents the price
of admission. The list for women is
as follows: Plain apron, one cent;
trimmed apron, two cents; no apron,
five cents; cotton dress, two cents;
wool dress, three cents; sills dress,
five cents; plain finger rings, three
cents; rings with setting, five cents;

five cents; plain hats, two cents;

Louise: Good for you! Neither do
I like girls who bring themselves to
the attention of men do a hold way;
but, my dear, 1114 between forwardness
of that kind and complete aloofness,
there is a happy medium, and ,yeti
should cultivate 11x1 approachableness.
By all means take advantage of the
opportunity to meet this most de-
sirable young man at his sister's
home. That is the nicest way you
can manage it.
F. W. R.: What can you do to en-
tertain the boy who is too quiet and
"just won't talk?" Absolutely no-
thing apart from being as entertain-
ing and empathetic as you can. Lots
of girls !eke quiet, reserved men and
to me such reserve of manner is many
times an indication of real worth, If
you do all you can to bring him out,
by talking of the things in which he
is most interested, and he still re-
mains silent and taciturn, then either
resign yourself to his type and see
the good points in him or drop his
friendship.
Mrs, John R.: "My daughter has
coal black hair, cleat' blue eyes and a
very fair skin. She is in high school
and is sensitive about colors. Could
you give me some suggestions as to
the best colors to use in her school
dresses?"
Coal black hair, blue eyes, and a
very fair skin are rather an unusual
combination and I can readily under-
stand why you are puzzled as to the
colors that are best suited to her.
Our daughters are far more sensitive
about colors than most of us imagine
and it is the wise mother who con-
sults her daughter's preferences and
then, with a little study, determines
what is most becoming to her. This
girl can wear all shades of blue and
I would suggest one-piece dresses of
navy blue serge or poplin for school
wear. She should wear cream or ivory
white wash satin collars with these,
Brown in the golden and golden tan
shades, very dark red, all the shades
of grey 'especially blue grey, soft
shades of yellow and shell pink or
apricot, are her colors. All these are
classed as subdued colors, The strong
colors should never hew orn by any.
one of this type. If she has a good
deal of color in her face, black will
also prove very becoming, though she
is rather young for it yet.

Than if 'twerp Jelly third.
While right along, since crack of dawn
I've tingled top to toe;
And how the world can keep so reel
I really do not know!
The old clock talks in whisperings
Without ono added tick;
A slow wind at the window sings ----
It almost makes me model
The yard is full of quiet airs
As ever Was before;
The house is still as mire; upstairs
I hear somebody snore.
While I ---toy head's like fireworks,
With such impatience in it,
That, if I gave a few more jerks,
