But the New World could not hold his interest for good and in 1901 he returned to England. to take up politics. He was equally successful there as in America, and became parliamentary provincial whip for eastern and home counties. He sat in the House of Commons from 1910 to 1917 for Cambridge and in 1918 was raised to the peerage in recognition of political services during the war. While he wa pursuing the fortunes of politics in England he did not ne- glect his American business ventures. He became the president of the Chi- huahua and Pacific Railway in Mer - ice and a director of many important American business enterprises. Dur- ing the war he became a member of the British government committee on detention and delay at ports of neut•• rill ;hipping. In recent years Lord Queensborough turned his attention to Canada. He became identified with a group of British and Canadian financiers who are attempting to stimulate the inter• est of the small British investor in Canadian securities. His present trip to Canada will serve him to make personal observations of the develop- ment of the Dominion and gain auth oritative knowledge of the opportuni- ties Canada offers to non -speculative investors in Great Britain.

LESSON FOR AUGUST 25th Lesson Topic—Rebuilding the Tem- ple. Lesson Passage—Ezra 3:10-13; 6: 14-16; Psalm 84:1-4. Golden Text—Psalm 122:1. In the second month of the second year of the return from Babylon the work of rebuilding the temple was begun. During the intervening time the altar was built by Jeshua and his brethren the priests, Zerubba•bel and his brethren the princes. It is likely they chose the same spot and built on the same bases as were formerly( low Hoover was.

They could not immediately have a temple, but they would not be without an altar. The reasons why they hastened to set up the altar are stated in the first part of chapter 3. Apprehension of danger stirred them up to their duty. The presence of their enemies caus- ed them to draw near to their God morning and evening. Before they began to build the temple they made arrangements with Tyre and Sidon for skilled workmen and Lebanon for a supply of timber as Solomon had done when the first temple was built. Though they saw difficulty and oppo- sition ahead of them they made elab- orate preparation for the ceremony of laying the foundation. In verses 10, 11 we see that the priests with the trumpets, and the Levites with the cymbals, made up a concert of music, not to please the ear, but to assist the singing of that everlasting hymn which will never be out of date, and to which our tongues should nev- er be out of tune; God is good and His mercy endureth forever. The people were differently affected this occasion. Different sentiments there were among the people of God, and each expressed himself according to his sentiments, and yet there was no disagreement among them, their minds were not alienated from each other, nor the common concern re- tarded by it. Those that only knew the misery of having no temple at all, when they saw but the foundation of one laid, praised the Lord with shouts of joy. To them even this foundation seemed great and was as life from the dead: to their hungry souls even this was sweet. They shouted, so that "the noise was heard afar off." Those that remembered the glory of the first temple, which Solomon built, and considered how far this was likely to be inferior to that, perhaps in dimensions, certainly in magnifi- cence and sumptuousness, "wept forth a loud voice." These lamented the disproportion between this temple and the former. It was a mixture of sor- row and joy which we see to -day in this present world.—(Condensed from Matthew Henry). Psalm 84:1-4. The whole of this Psalm is the ut- tered desire of a soul for public wor- ship. Yet, after all, the Psalmist reaches the climax of desire not when he speaks of the sanctuary, but of God Himself. The desire of heart and flesh is the living God.—(Com- munion Memories). 1I0 gets away with barefaced in- consistencies like that because he has learned to trim his sails to suit pub- lic opinion. lie can talk for a sec- tion of the public of the United States; he could never lead the people of the republic. a• 4• j ..

Soon he was doing real estate publicity work, and it was in thisi field that he began to make friends. In search of a room he entered the home of Mrs. Emily Pacheo, widow of Spanish blood. She conducted a beauty parlor and rooming house, was 45 years old and of somewhat ro- mantic disposition. But more import- ant still she had $2,500 in the hank. She and Burns became good friends, and one day Burns told her of the chance he had to buy the Greater Chicago Magazine, devoted to real estate promotions. It was profitless at the time, but Burns said he could make a lot of money out of it. The widow put up the $2,500 and went to work for $10 a week as secretary of the publication. Soon money began to pour in, for Burns proved himself a shrewd and energetic editor. Then one day Burns had a piece of bad luck. A letter from his father made some reference to the Georgia THIS BALLY TENDERFOOT HELD HIS OWN WITH THEM Lord Queensborough, who is at present touring Canada in the interest. of the small British investor, is ore of the few interesting personalities which survive from the glorious close of the last century in England. As a member of the Paget family, the head of which is the Marquess of Anglessey, which has been famous in English history since the 16th century, Lord Queensborough, in his youth Almeric Hugh 'Paget, chose an ad- venturous career rather than enter one of the numerous safe niches which his name and connections afforded hie). Over forty year ago he went to the wildest and most adventurous places he could think of, the American West. He arrived in Montana before the railway to the Pacific coast was corn pleted and drove 200 miles in a buggy over the bald prairie to the ranch where he was to work. As soon as Lord Queensborough set foot on Canadian soil memories began to re -awaken of that gay and careless time. He said to an interviewer: "I remember as if it were yesterday my arrival on the Montana ranch. It happened that the cowboys were hold- ing a race, a 100 -yard dash on foot, the very day I arrived. They were not used to running and their muscles had become stiff from being in the saddle all day long for many years, so I won that race very easily It immediately put me on a good footing with the cowboys and when we rode into Mile City that night for a celebr- ation our crowd met the cowboys of another ranch and immediately began to brag that they had a runner in their outfit whom no one could neat. A bet was quickly made and the race was to take place there and then. Someone suggested that a flat race was not sufficiently exciting and put forward the idea of a hurdle race. "'This idea was adopted with ac- clamation and a course was set in the only street of the town, the hurdles consisting of furniture out of the only hotel. Twenty cowboys with heavy boots and spurs dashed at the hurdles and there was many a spill. Near the end of the race my spur caught in a sofa and I went headlong, with my nose on the ground. I thought I had lost the race, but the spectators urged me to go and I pick- ed myself up to continue. Much to my surprise I came in first notwith- standing my spill," he said. Lord Queensborough's eye glistened when he was told of the Calgary stampede, where the rituals of the wild west days are observed once a year. "I must see that before I die," he said. He earned an enviable rep- WORLD MISSIONS Far -Flung Seed. The bulk of our literature is scat- tered in China itself, but we must not forget that it finds its way to the "dispersed of China" in all corners of the globe. Thus in Ceylon our litera- ture was distributed to Chinese living there through the agency of some Salvation Army workers who were driven out of Peking on the advance of the Nationalist Armies. During the year our books have gone to Kor- ea, Japan, Borneo, British Honduras, Burma, Straits Settlements, Java, In- dia, Canada, Australia and the Unit- ed States. We are taking steps to get in touch with Chinese settlements in other parts of the world in order that we may send them our literature. —The Christian Literature Society of China, 1927-1928. adventure, and this fell into Mra- Pacheo's hands. Burns says he had. to marry her to seal her lips, though' she was many years his elder. That happened in 1926, but last September Burns met a Miss Lillian Salo, a. student of music fgrorn Minneapolis, and fell in love with her. He left his wife and they set up housekeepiFig together. Then it was that the Span- ish temperament or perhaps the hu- man nature of the wife asserted it- self. She notified the Atlanta police that their escaped prisoner could be found in the sumptuous offices of the magazine in Chicago. Last week they found him there. A few months af- ter his escape the police had news of Burns, or the man they supposed was Burns. The sheriff of the county in which he had been tried received a letter containing $50 with instruc- tions to hand it to the lawyer, who had gratuitously defended Burns and given him some clothing. It was the only means by which the fugitive could reach the man who had be- friended him. FLOURISHING EDITOR AN ESCAPED CONVICT It used to be Africa that the strange things came out of. Now it is Chicago. Consider, for example, the case of Robert Elliott Burns. Twelve years ago he was a soldier in the American army in France. Eight years ago he was . a convict working in a Georgia chain gang. To -day he is the chief owner of a magazine called Greater Chicago, which is said to be earning $20,000 a year. What makes him worth a story is the fact that he is in im- minent danger of being obliged to go back to Georgia and resume the ball and chain. In both Georgia and Chi- cago movements are on foot to have Governor Hardman pardon him. That is in the governor's power, and as nobody was greatly injured by Burns' career as a criminal and as he has thoroughly rehabiliated himself, there is a reasonable •prospect that execu- tive clemency may be extended to him. But in the meantime it seems certain that he will have to return to Georgia for a time, at least, until. the American Legion succeeds or fails in its effort to have him set at lib- erty. In March, 1922, Burns found him- self in Atlanta penniless. At a Sal- vation Army shelter where he was given a bed for the night, he fell in with Sidney Flegg and John Moore, also wanderers and probably crim- inals. The three had just a dime among them. They discussed the prob- lem of getting a few dollars to pay their railway fares northward, and Flegg said he knew where they could get some money if they would fol- low him and obey orders. They agreed and Flegg led them to a little gro- cery store on the outskirts of the city. Flegg handed Burns a pistol and said they would hold up the gro- cer, a man named Bernstein. They entered the store, Burns showed the pistol, the grocer held up his hands and Flegg and Moore emptied the till which contained $5.85. Then they fled, Burns throwing the pistol away. But it happened that there had been several robberies in the vicinity, and the police were particularly vigilant. They were quickly on the scene, threw a cordon about the neighborhood, and the three were arrested. In court Burns said that he had not known the purpose of the expedition until Flegg handed him the revolver. Nevertheless he and the others plead- ed guilty and Burns escaped with a sentence of from six to eight years, Moore getting eight to ten and Flegg twenty. The lawyer) who was ap- pointed by the court to defend Burns became interested in him because of his evident educational attainments and good manners. Before Burns was taken away he gave him some clothing. Burns went to work in a rock quarry, having a chain with an 80 -pound ball of iron attached to his leg. A small man, still suffering from wounds received in France, it was agony for him to have to drag the ball about with him, and one, day when working beside a huge negro BORAH MAKES FEW FRIENDS YET HE HOLDS HIS POWER Senator Borah of Idaho seems to be one of these half -mysterious char- acters who maintain themselves in power by striking the strident na- tional note and adopting a suspicious attitude towards the scheming for- eigners who might conceivably rob or corrupt that benevolent old gentle- man known as Uncle Sam. By adopt- ing this attitude Borah has undoubt" edly won the support of a large body of United States opinion. It is not the moat enlightened opinion, to be sure, but it is powerful. Borah does not rise much above this rather in- grown school of thought. He has never been accused of being brilliant. He is not even a good debater in an assembly—the United States Con- gress—which is noted for the crude ness and dullness of its debates. He does not attract friends, and he is completely insular in his mind not having familiarized himself with the European countries which he discuss- es so frequently.
