In this and subsequent lessons we
shall assume that Mount Sinai is
somewhere near the southern point
of the penineula between the Gulf
of .A.Itabah, and not fay from the
northern end of the_Red Sea itself.
It has been suggested by some inotl-
ern scholars that the mountain, the

been determined, should rather be
sought farther to the northeast in
tbe hill country of Sell-, reteth of
the Gulf of Akalaah. The burden

5. Draw not nigh-- hither -Moses
is reminded of the natural unfit-
ness of man to abide in the imme-
diate presence of Jehovah. This
truth God patiently sought to teach
his people by such commands as
the one given to Moses liter in the
presence of the people near this
same mountain: "And thou shalt
set bounds unto the people round
about, Take heed • to yourselves,
that ye go not up into the mount,
or touch the border of it" (Exod.
19. 19). The untutored mind and
heart easily falls into an attitude
of irreyerence.

GAMBLING IN ENGLAND.
Authorities- Gravely Concerned to
Stop Betting Evil.
The spread of -gambling among
the English people, both men and
women, is causing eerious and
growing eoncern. No measures yet
have been devised to stop the ha-
bit, which rapidly is becoming more
and more of a, menace. On all big
races practically everybody, from
the newsboy on the street to the
peer in his motor, has something
on his fa-voreite, horse, and ov.en on
the everyday .. race an humense
amount in the aggregate is wager-
ed. Latterly it. has been disclosed
that, women working in offices tenel
resbaura.nte in the city have be-.
conee as inveterate gambleas as the
men and boys. Nowadays both
Elea and women, eluting the after-
noon hours, are distracted from
their work by their anxiety over the
results of the races, and employers
complain in vain.
The Rouse of Commons, with a
view of curbing this increase in the
betting habit, paesed a law prohibi-
ting oorn.miseion agents from ac-
cepting money on it bet, but this
was easily evaded by the agents
carrying wagers on a. credit system,
settling once is week, As the sys-
tem works to -day any boy with a
shilling to bet on it horse can go to
ahniast any newspaper s.eller and
get his money down. Another mea-
sure to overcome this condition was
met by op,p,otsition from the woelt-
ingniata, who claimed for himeelf
the !same privileges and oppertuni-
tees accorded hes wealthy 'neighbor,
who ean wager as freeey as he likes
by either going to the track or tele-
phoning his commieseren agent.
The complaint is made elect that
gambling is spoiling golf. At most
.of the big clubs' to -day members
will 'not play melees mowed of a
good side bet on the result,. It
started with ha..1.f a dollar a round,
but ab some clubs it game is seldom
played for less elven $25, $50, OT
even $100 Found. The profession-
al, too, who gets Inc fee for taking
it novice around, no0 wants a wa-
ger on the result. Even if he gives
the novice all he deserves, the pro-
fe.ssional generally can win.

IDEAL OF THE MORAL LIFE
Its Very Esscnee IS Love, Which is the Most Posi-
tive Force In All the World
"Behold,these three years I come
seeking fruit on this fig tree, and
xfiiti7ii. none.ur.ber Cuthteit elgrooveunn,d• why Lelialkthe
Here'is the cone/usion of one oi
the most significant of the parablee
of Jesue. •According 'to the story,
a certain man had a fig: tree
planted in his -vineyard," and year
after year' 'he came seeking fruit
thereon.':. Each year, however, he
had the same disappointing exper-
ience of finding none, and at last,
disgusted with the tree, he ordered
his vine dressers to "cut it down."
"W by, " he asked, 'doth it cumber
the groured7"
Now, it is to be noticed that there
is nothing said in this parable
ebout the fig tree not being a per-
fectly good tree. It was not poist
onous or noxious. It was mot with-
ere,d, er gnarled, or undersized.
Indeed, if we, are to. trust the story,
it was BO excellent a specimen, so
far as its attributes as a tree weee
concerned, that each year he own-
er expectesl to see its branches lad-
en with figs. There was nothing at
all that was actually bad about the
'tracsth
tree, thatetroubwaslewas thab there
vi
Positively Good. -
It failed in its one specific emission
of bringing forth fruit, Its room
was more valuable than its pres-
enee.
Now, here do we have a striking
illuetration of one of the most orig-
inal characteristics. of the teaching
of Jesus -namely, its emphasis up -
,on the positive character of good -
nese. All too frequently is good-
ness interpreted in 'purely negative
terms, asthe act of avoiding tier -
'rain things which the ,world has
agreed te regard ae evil. The good,
,man is the man who does not steal,
lie, , kill, commit adultery, covet,
and so on ehrough all the melan-
choly eatelogue of "Then shalt
nets." To avoid these sins, we
have been told, is to attain to the
ideal of the moral life. Hence is
the world crowded with men and

have never done anything that wate,

they can boast that they have kept,
all the commandments frorn their

themselves
• Entitled to Eternal Lite.
Not so, however, if we are to
trust the teaching of the Nazarene!
Jesus' standard is positive, and
not negative at all. To His min4.
it is not enough that a man should
merely keep the commandraents di-
rected against ,moral offences of
Mee kind and another. Beycinel the
"Thou shalt not" in the greater
commandment, "Thou shalt."
Goodness, therefore, le a posi-
tive thing. In telling the story of
the vineyard Jesus was only illus-
trating 'fire familiar statement in
the Sermon on the 3tIount---"Every
good tree bringeth forth good fruit
. . . Every tree that beareth not
good fruit is hewn down and cast
into the Are." --Rev. John Haynes
Holmes.

LEA1tN TO THINK..
Most of Us Are Asleep as to a Large
Part of Our Ability.
• A fatale with most 01 us is that
we never learn to think. Thousands
of men, lacking a goo( education,
practically throw • away precious
hours because they never learn to .
think. Systematic thinking is the _
beet possible discipline. Happy is
ehe youth that has &ranee" the fixed
habit of self-improvement, that is
always trying to make .himeele
little better prepared foy his op-
portunity when it comes. Tell me
how a young man uses his little
ragged edges of time after his day's
work is, done, and what he is re-
volving in his mind at every oppor-
tunity, and I will tell you whet thee
young man's futere will be, eays
writer.
Thousands of persons have, in
their spare moments, through sys-
tematic courses of reading and
.ethely furnished by some of our
splendid correspondence schools
obtained is better education than
have many that have gone through
college.'
The trouble with young people is
not that they do not possess success
qualities, but that in most of them
the , qualities are latent, inactive.
There is now and then oi, man that
gets thoroughly aroused. We de-
velop only a small percentage of
ourselves -just enough to solve the
bread end butter question. ,
The besh locomotive ever beilt
