When Amy married Bill Temple,
her people made her promise to
visit them often. But after young
Bill came, the visits were less and
less frequent, although the old
folks were qtly -40 miles or so
away.
Then one night Amy's mother
telephoned and they found how
pleasant and inexpensive a visit

S. S. -LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 11
Lesson Topic—Israel Journeying
Towards Canaan.
Lesson Passage—Numbers 10:11-
13„ 29-36..
Golden Text—Number 10:29.
Dr, Joseph Parker in a sermon o,n
the 'Gospel In'vitbation interprets to-
dtay's lesson and the following is con-
densed from it:
• The standards are all in motion. In
the first place there went the stand-
ard of the camp of the clench -en of
Judtah; imm!ediarledy fo'llow'ing carne
the standard of the camp of Reuben;
and last of all carne the standard of
the camp of the ehild'ren of Dan.
'Pleas were the jourrneyings of the
chitdMen of Israel according to their
•arnnies, when they set forward."
When the camp '.began to move
Moses said unto Hobab, his father-
in-lew, wee are going new; everything
is set in order foe the march,—"We
are journeying unite the place ;of
which the Lord said, I will give it
you; come thou with us' and we will
do thee good: for the Lord hath
spoken good concerning Israel." Mos •
es spoke with feeling in his • voice.
There is a gospel of husnean feeling.
If we could abolish all written gos-
pels, • all doctrinal methods of wel-
coming' and 'persuading , men, there
would still remain the gospel of love,
sysmipalthy, tenderness, all that is in-
volved in the reoblest meaning of the
term naturae:"!
To what was Moses inviting his
father-in-laW? Was it not to ex-
change just one wilderness for an-
other? He was inviting hint to
march, to meet circumstances , often
fraught with trial and pain, disap-
pointment and •mockery. When we
invite /men to join us on the Chris-
tian pd.lgr'irnag'e, it must be on the
distinct unde'rsterndiintg that eve are
ruling the present by the future. This
did not see that to -morrow there was
to be a battle, or seeing it, he had
already passed the war•-efteld like a
victor. This,. too, is the Christian
logic as laid down by Paul; the great
Apostle said,"F'or our light afflic-
tion which ,it ('but for a moment, work-
eth for us a far irr re exceeding and
eltetrna•I weight of glory, while. we
lark net at eche things which are
seen: for the things which are seen
are temporal; but the things which
are not seen are eternal." He brought
"the power .of an endless life" to
bear •upon the immediate day:, he
quieted to-day''e tumult by a sure an-
ticipation of heaven's peace. Moses,
in the ianv'ibation he gave to Hobab,
had respect unto the recompense of
the 'reward. Christ saw the end
from bhe rbeginning; in the very con-
duct of the 'battle, he was wearing
the conqueror's diadem. We 'must
'drraw o'urse'lves forward' by taking
firm hold of the end in other words,
we ,must have such a conception of
life's destiny as 'will invigorate ev-
erry Treble motive, stir every sacred
passion, and make us more than con-
querors, in all wear and conflict. This
was the reasoning of Moses, this was
the reasoning of Paul, this was the
practice of Christ.
'Moyes did not invite Hobab to join
merely for the 'sake -of being in the
company; he' exipected service from
him. He said: "Leave us not, t
pray thee; forasmuch as thou know -
est how we are to encamp in the
wilderness, and thou rnayest be to us
Instead of eyes." In this Moses
showed leadership; it was the invi-
i elion o'f a soldier and a legislator
and a wise man. Eyes are of inex-
pres'sflb1•e value in the whole conduct•
of life; to be able to see, to take note
of to recognize—the man who can do
this is rendering service to the whole
church.
?violas intended to' do Hobab good,
but when he -irut in the reason, he
showed the incompleteness of his
faith. What did he want with Hob-
a;b's eyes? Had he forgotten who
it was that struck .off the iron wheels
o'f Egy'pec's chariots? Fo'r a moment
perhaps„ he had. Who is there a-
mongst us—prince or priest or
strongerst man -that does mot want
some little local assistance? Moses
wanted the eyes of a imlan to whom
the wilderness was a familiar place,
to help him, forgetting that God ha,I
been to him all eye—a fire by nig'lit,
e cloud by day. We all forget these
things, we want the help of some im-
portant 'man, or local celebrity, os
wiee re edient; forgetting we are in
charge of Ood. We go to Hebab
when we might go to Jehovah.
As they journeyed they were pre-
ceded by the ark of the covenant of
the •Lord and the cloud of the Lord
was upon . thein by day. But bef are
they seet out Moses 'payed thus:—
'1Rtise up, Lord, and let thine enemies
be s'ca'ttered; and let them that hate
thee flee before thee." And when
they 'hailed he again prayed, saying:
"Return, 0 Lord, unto the many thou -
made of IeraeL" Prayer is the best
means of remindiing 'ourselves of ,the
preeerttee of God. To place ourselves
in Tis hands (before we go forth on
our journey, on our pleasure, on our
work; to • co'nurnirt ourselves again to
Reel !before we retire to rest—thus is
the best security for keeping top our
faith and trust in Him in whelp we
aRl p'ro'fess to believe, whom we all
exipect to meet after we leave the -
world.

But if the shielding of Britain's
King is in the main a sinecure, the
corresponding task in the United
States is a far ,more serious business
-,especially since the depression be-
gan, with its toll of unemployneert
and disaster. Until Lirvcolifs day,
Presidents came and went as they
pleased. A private "grhosit," in the
person of Allan Pinkerton, escorted
the Envancipator from Springfield to
Wlashington for his fateful inauga•ra•
tion in 1&61.; (but after that Lincoln
shook off his "shadow"—with teiritble
results 'to hi'mtself and the Union. Yet

Garfield by a disappointed job seeker

Then it ;was that the Secret Service
Cee -pe, which up till then had been
concerned only with counterfeiters,
were charged with the President's
safety. and comtfort. .
The task is so well done that the
Chief may be said to have no prier
acy at all. 'Custodians are at his
side in a shop in the theatre and in
his church pew. They sit in his car,
they precede and follow him on the
;'ole hn'ks. If the President wants to
-ide a hio'rce, then his chosen mount
must first be tested by a 'Secret Ser-
vice cavalier, and guaranteedfree
m nnv vice which might imperil
the Chief's life or limbs. And last-
ly when, worn out with Federal af,•
fairs the President retires to rest,
his tireless watchers virtually camp
at his bedroom door. Naturally, this
rrilanee grows vere irksoine. Mr.
Taft found the strain intolerable and
escaped whenever he could. Wood-
row Wilson counplai'ned of his "lynx-
es." Warren .Hording devised pleas-
ant ways of evading them; hut Mr
Coolidge submitted with a good grace
—even offering the 'mechanical horse
upon which . he took indoor exercise
for a humorous trial by his Secret
Service censors!
Has &Mr. President an engagement
Chicano? Then the spearhead of
the •s'eryire, ,C'olonei E. W. Starling.
must go there first. to investigate. If
-.he Chief is to stay in a private house
the rooms are looked over and the
entire household instructed. In the
eveit of a hotel being chosen, every-
one from the manager to the cham-
bermaid ,is seem', and a p'ri'viate chef,
waiter, and maid a'pp'ointed. There

tendent, while all approaches to the
Presidential suite—stairways, win-
d'oevs, and even fire-escapes—pare oc-
curred by Secret Service men. The
Presicient and his staff travel in a
special train, while a p'plot-engine
runs half an hour ahead to ensure
a safe road. The vice-epreseident is
never in the Chief's train_ lest an se-
cidert endanger 's'ucces'sion to the

A Serious Clover Menace
The mild weather of the last three
Falls in the Lake Erie counties of
Ontario in particular, has resulted in
an alarming epread of clover dodder,
otherwise known as lone vine. This
o'arasiti•c plant is one of the most
serious !m'enace's to clover (because of
the fact that it is alm'os't impossible
to separate dodder from clover seed,
and where dodder goes to seed in a
clover field some spread is inevit-
able.
The clover dpdder is a dielicate vine -
.plant, which starts with a very
fine 'green shoot, hard ta detect, and
which attaches itself to the stem of
the growing plant, finally breaking
away entirely from its own root and
living on the clover plant.
Any badly infested field should, be
•plowed 'under and planted to a hoed
or grain crop for a sufficient length
of time to completely eradicate any
accumulation of dodder which may
have taken place in the soil. Where
a` slight inrflesbatteiom is noticed patches
containing dodder can be cut and us-
ed for fodder before the field is ripe.
In view of the fact that all clover
seed for export must be absolutely
free from dodder seed, the only 'safe
procedure for bhe seed grower is to
make sure at the outset that the seed
he sown is absolutely free of clover
dodder.
