EL S. LESSON FOR SEPT. 10, 19.33
Lesson Top4c—Jonathan.
Lesson Passage -1 Samuel 18:1-4;
20:35-42.
Golden Text—Proverbs 17:17.
in this lesson we see J'on'athan who
was heir to the crown, entering into
a covenant with the one who was
anointed to the crown, to take • it out
of Saul's hand, and over Jonathan's
head. God so ordered it that David's
way might be the clearer, when his
rival was his friend.
Jonathan conceived an extraordin=
ary kindness and affLetion for David:
"When he had made an end of speak-
ing to Saul," he fell perfectly" in love
with hire. Whether 'ie refers to his
conference with Saul before the bat-
tle (17:34-37) or to that after, tv. 58)
in which it is probable much more
was said than is there set down, is -
uncertain. But .in both David 'ex-
pressed himself with so much modesty
and so naturally, and the more sur-
prisingly bt cause of the disadvant-
ages of his education and• appearance
that the soul of Jonathan w•ae imme-
diately knit unto the soul- of David.
Jonathan had formerly set upon the
Philistine army with the sante faith
and bravery that David had now at-
tacked a Philistine giant; so that
there was between them a 'very near
resenmblance which made their spirits
unite so easily, so quickly, so ,closely
that they seemed as one soul in two
bodies. None had so much reason to
dislike David as Jonathan, yet none
regard him more. His greater
thoughts swallowed up an.d overrul-
ed the lesser, This was at' once man-
ifest in the generous present he made
hien. He was concerned to •see so
great a soul, though lodged in so fair
a !body, yet disguised in the mean
and depic.ahle dress of a poor shep-
herd that he speedily gave •hirer the
dress o'f a courtier and, instead of
his sling and bow, a sward and for
his shepherd's .scrip, a girdle. And
all these he • took off himself, making
him his second self. Our Lord. Jesus
has thus showed his love to us,
that He stripped himself to clothe us,
emptied `Himself to enrich us; He
did more than Jonathan, He clothed
Himself with our rags, whereas Jon-
a'tham did not put on David's.
Jonathan endeavored' to perpetuate
this friendship; so entirely satisfied
were they in each other, even at the
first interview, that they made a cov-
enant with each other. We see• in
the second part of to -day's lesson
how enduring this covenant was.
(Saul had developed a bitter emnitr
towards David which Jonathan was
loath to believe; but one feast day,
from which David was absent thus
inciting Sauk to anger, Jonathan ex-
iperienced the benefit of his father's
rage when he spoke up in defence of
his friend. There he sought out Dav-
id and by word of mputh made him
flee for his life. They fell into each
others armee and wept. "And Jonathan
° said to David, go in peace. •forasmuch
es we have sworn both of us in the
name of the Lord, saying, the Lord
between nue. and thee, and betwedn
my seed and thy seed for ever."' A
most sorrowful parting of friends!
The only; record of another meeting
Was by stealth when Saul we, hunt-
ing for the life of David who was
hidden in the wilderness of Ziph.
"And Jonathan, Saul's son arose and
went to David into the wood, and
strengthened his hand in God."—•!

Charles J. Brand, eo-administrator

average contract made before prices
rose.
He estimated this would give the
tomato growers an additional $2,-

. THE TIRED BUSINESS MAN
It is both interesting and amusing
to observe the mariner in which cer-
tain phrases become attached to dif-
ferent gfoups of people, The adjec-
tives 'tired" and ."hard-headed" are
used to describe the business man, and
for some reason or other, they are
not applied to the farmer or the
physician, 'although either of these
aright surely claim, on occasion, to
merit them.
It would not be considered a Co!ml-
plintent by a salesman to be describ-
ed as tired or hard-headed; he, sup-
posedly at least, is a go-getter, or a
member of the high-pressure group.
Why then is the business man tir-
ed? To a• large extent, it is because
he takes himself and his' work too
seriously. and feeling that such great
responsibility rests ori him, he be-
gins to consider that he should be tir-
ed.. Further, the dull routine of busi-
ness life and the attention given tie
detail bring fatdguue, which is apt to
become the fixed attitude of the, 'busi-
ness -man towards life.
•The state of mind is unhealthy as
well as unhappy. The. business -man
requires a fair and honest under-
standing of himself and his work in
order io secure a better appreciation
of actual respon'sibility and import-
ance. Outside interests will bring
him freedom from absorption in him-
self and his work The bueiness-man
who, is able to forget 'himself in
play will not -belong to the tired
group, and his life will not be en-
tirely devoted to business and its
cares.
The harder a man warts and the
greater his responsibilities, the more
surely must he bring play into his
life if he is to be healthy and happy.
We may smile at the long week ends --
and numerous bank holidays of the
eld country. 'but they represent a
much more sane and healthy life than
does our ceaseless rushing hither and
thither. '
Those, who accomplish the most.
are not those who are always busy;
rather they are those who do each
day what they have time to do quiet-
ly and, in consequence, effectively
and efficiently. There is a happy
medium between procrastination and
the "do -it -now -or -die" attitude. Mod-
eration is ess ntial to health, and
...this is a point which seems to he un-
known to so many who either work
or attempt to play in a strenuous
manner which is destructive to
health and longevity.

Only Boobs Embezzle.,
There seems to be. a blind spot
in the intelligence of every embezzler
no matter how expert he may be in
abstracting cash. I know one gi51
1 okkee•per and cashier who worked
for an automobile agent. The girl,,
got thirty dollars a we.k and one day
she came to her employer and asktn
for a discount on a $3,500 car. Nat-
urally the employer was surprised
and wanted to, knew if "somebody
had left her a million." But she
laughed at his little joke and said
she'd saved the money. However,
the hose happened to be good at men-
tal arithmetic. ' The • girl had only
been working for hifn for three years,
she dressed well and had a depend-
ent n oth•c'•. There was something
wrong somewhere, so he"gat some
auditors ine Of course the girl con-
fessed.
Most embezzlers arPnot so stupid
as to dieelose their unexplained pros-
perity to their own .errnpcloyer, but
they all give themselve away'if they
aren't caught first. We longer they
get away with it the higher rating
they give their cleverness and the
more careless they become. This was
what happened to the treasut'er of a
construction company. who used his
ill-gotteh money to speculate in the
stock market, and, like a lot of us
bragged about his losses. His tales
finally reached his employer, who ells -
counted themi 50 pet' cent. or so to
take Care o'f probable exaggeration,
Land then decided they were still too
big for a roan on a $5,000 salary. Aud-
itors showed -that there had 'been no
exaggeration to speak of, but that it
was the, owner of the business who
had stood the losses in the end.
Extravagant standards'• of living
are oftentimes at once the cause of
embezzlements and the first sign an
employer gets that all is not well
with ',some trusted employee. Eoc-
pensive cars and country clubs, pri-
vate schools fer the kids and fur
coats for the wife don't go well with
the salaries that are the rule in ac-
counting and clerical departments.
So when the boss, as well as other
people, begins to wonder where so-
and-so gets the money he spends so
ostentatiously he is apt to start a
long postponed investigation of his
accounting -system.
I afn convinced that no embezzler
is clever enough to keep from giving'
himself away ultiinately in soon! al-
most 'childish manner. But in the
meantime he may have put a serious
crimp in the business. Many a bank-
ruptcy would have 'been avoided if
auditors had been o,rb-the job to catch
embezzlers before they had gone, on
too long.
A modern bookkeeping system, fre-
quently subjected to a thorough "sur-
prise" audit, is embezzlement proof:
In ordinary routine. audits it is
customary for a concern to $ave ex-
pense by having the auditors concen-
trate on the vital facts of business
and apply simple test checks to theless itneportant items.It is no great
trick for an employee of ordinary
intelligence to find out the points
that are passed over in this kind of
an audit and to work out a method
which seems to him to be safe from
discovery. If auditors were mere ma-
chines that plan might work out for
a while. But the' em'bezzl'er fails to
take into account that auditors are
utually far more skilled in account-
ing than he• is, and that their experi-
ence has made thein intensively sensi-
tive to irregularities that a cursory
examination of the books might not
disclose. A skilled auditor can liter.•
ally "smell" crookedness. But some.
he dust "has a feeling."
One time 'my suspicions were a-
roused by the too helpful attitude of
a bank teller who always managed to
be wherever our men were at wsrk
and by the fact that he had known
two days beforehand that we were"
coning. He was a pet of the presi-
dent •and a man of fine reputation.
But long experience has , ght °me to
be watchful of the fello 'r who is too
anxious to help the audi rs. I men-
tioned my fears to the p ident and
suggested that we lee allo', ed to do
our work • unaided. He r used on
the ground that my feeling as un-
warranted and that he wish-. to keep
the cost of the audit down by having
his men help us.
As we were doing the work on be-
half of a capitalist who planned' to
biry control of the bank it was essen-
tial that we get the facts. So- we
suggested that right after the bank
closed for the day the prospective in-
vestor ,eall a meeting of all officers
and employees right down to the
guards and office boy for the osten-
sible purpose of outlining the new
policies he intended to put into ef-
fect. Tbee suspected teller was of
course present. At a signal the audi-
tors took possession of the teller's
cage—the first time that had been
possible without his being present.
When he saw bur men in his cage
the teller knew his jig was up, so he
'led. the president aside and confess-
ed to having embezzled about $30,-
000.
Although he apparently had not re-
alized it, his position had beer( hope-
less from the start, for he had been
forced ti-') keep up the continuous
juggling of accounts to Cover the
fir';t'defalcation. A'few days' illness
that would keep him away from the
hank ot• a surprise audjt and he was
sure to be• found out. Yet he was
deme enough to believe• that his
health would always be perfect and
that limited audits would be the reg-
ular ,practice' forever.
Qualities that endear en employee
to his hnis often arouse an auditor's
suspicions. In one particular firm
the expenses are mounting out. of
proportion to increased wages and
Miter c•nste A detailed audit showed
no irregularities. So we' discussed
with the president every pertinent
factor elf' the business, including the
ahilitiee of the superintendent and
other 1)innnfacturing e :ecutives. The
employer would attach no question
°Mame on the part of the superin-
tendent, partly because the man
worked so hard and refused to take
a holiday in case something night go
wrong in his absence. That aroused
our cyrrioeity. We were convinced
that something would go wrong, for
hint, if he were absent. Next pay-
day I paid off the factory workers
myself in the place of the superin-
tendent. When they were all paid Z
had four envelopes left. They' con-
tained about $100. The four men
whose names appeared on the slips

had been putting through their time
slips and pocketing their pay envel-
opes. This was a ruse 'which was
bound to be discovered the first time
the superintendent was absent on
Pay-day.
There are various reasons for em-
bezzlement ar stealing. The out-
standing reason is usually to ine•eb a
pressing bill, and illness •ltossilbly.
The employer would gladly loan the
comparatively small sunt needed, or
a personal finance 'bank would if he
wouldn't. Keeping ahead of the
Jones' is another cause. So, too, is
an extravagant wife; night life,
gambling, and speculation are other
common causes. Yet none of there
are'passably intelligent reasons, al-
though they seem sufficient to the
weakeminde•d ones who fall.
The exposed emibezzler practically
maintains, and T iielieve quite truth-
fully, that he was not going to keep
the money, that he just `borrowed
it." He seems' never to realize- that
in order to return the money he will
have to change the record's and falsi-
fy just as much as when he took it.
Many an embezzler has been caught
when trying to make restitution.
It is practically invariably true
that it is the opportunity to embez-
zle that makes an embezzler. In
other words, the fault lies with the
employer — morally, although, of
course, not legally. 'In a lar1"e pro-
portion of businesses the accounting
iS looked upon as a more or less ne-
cessary nuisance. ' Few accounting
systems are so well designed or op-
erated as to be embezzlement proof,
although they can be made so. In

follow these rules.
1. Use a Well designed modern
double entry system.
2. Have complete surprise audits
!!bade at reasonable • intervals at least
once a year.
3. Do not allow your employees to
"help" the auditors.
RHEUMATISM GOES
WITH EXCESS FAT
Both Banished by, Kruschen
!When one realizes that the cause
of overweight is closely associated
with the cause of rheumatism:, it is
easy to understand how it is that the
two troubles can so easily be over-
come by the same remedy.
The experiences, told in the follow-
ing letter are typical of those 'of
many other sufferers:—"I first start-
ed taking Kruschen Salts for rheum-
atism in my tankle joints. Being
rather- stout, 1 thought perhaps they
would remedy both troubles, and you
cannot realize how surprised I was
with the effect. I don't feel anything

How Strong is 'Hitler?
(Condensed from The Living Age in
Reader's Digest.)
.A ten days' visit to Hitler's Berlin
has convinced me that it is impos-,
sible for anyone really to understand
what is happening in Germany ,just
rise without grasping certain pro-
positions that can be stated only as
observed and easily observable facts:
1. !That Hitler's conquest of. the
minds and hearts of all classes ` of
Germans, largely since he came into
power, is 'now, so complete that even
if all his Brown Shirts and Steel Hel-
l -nets were to be disbanded tomor-
row he would still be • easily the
strongest 'man in Germiany, and on
any appeal to the electorate would be
confitmreid in power by a quite over-
whelming majority of 'votes.
2. That this revolution is in its
essence simply the, delated reaction , same day Hitler will eftobably abolish

sequent invasion of the Ruhr.
3. That Hitler is recognized by
the whole of the political and official
intelligentsia as an .exceedingly able
man—easily the ablest leader and
spokesman that Geriitany has found
since the death. of Dr. Stl'eseman•n—
if not since very much- longer than
that.
Now, if these propositions are true
(and I think no competent observer
who has been in Berlin would ser-
iously dispute them), what are their
consequences?
1. lIt' is altivay s •good per se, I be-
lieve, that a nation Should recover
its self»confidence and its self-respect
which Germany has never done since
1918, and it is good also that it
should possess a spokesman whose
authority to speak and act in its
name cannot be questioned. by .the
outside world.
2. The Jewish Question. Here, I
think, the prospects are bad end the
Persecution will continue indefinitely
in the shape of various civil and legal
disabilities.but without further, vio-
lence. During the recent hard years
,Germany (fent outsiders realize
how hard) the Jews have accumulat-
ed against themselves, justly or, un-
justly, a tremendous mass of popu-
lar hatred as• food .profiteers, usurers,
anti -national intriguers, and so on,
This hatred Hitler exploited on his
path to power just as he exploited
every other strong popular sentiment,
Having 'reached power, he , peol ably
would have prevented violence if
he could. But he could not stem the
forces that he had helped to set in
neotion, and .such things once done
cannot easily be. undone.
3.. '!Ills Mil.i.bar. ist --Question. Ilei e,
I think, one may say with complete
• i
• cer to ylty that what Hitler said in his
Reichstag speech on May 17th was
exactly what he meant and accurate-
ly represents the policy that he Will
pursue. I found no German who
,dreamed of the possibility of wear
within the next 10 or 15 years at any
rate; few !who did not hope that it
might,,be prevented in the future al-
together. T!he truth is that -the Nazi
hind is concentrated on the internal
problems of Germany and does not
want to be bothered by foreign af-
fairs at all for a long time to come,
4. Economic Plans. These are very
definitely socialistic, and their pros-
pects are: necessarily uncertai•h.
Broadly speaking, Hitler's plan, a-
part from substituting men for wo-
men in industry as far as passible, is
to make every unemployed man do
some sort of work of national utility
in return for the dole. This, of course,
ie what he means by his proposed
"conscription" of the unemployed.'
5. The Constitutional Question. I
should be inclined, from many views
gathered in Germany, to say this:
the Republic and establish a consti-
tutional monarchy with 'a monarchs
(perhaps a young Hohenzollern) who
owes his title to the Reichstag.
IBut this is conjecture. All it seeme
possible to predict at present . with
Teal 'c efiuence is that Hitlerism is
definitely established and unshak-
able; that its main immediate purpose
will be to re-establish the economic
prosperity and power of the country;
and that it will do its utmost to a-
void foreign complications of any
kind ° for many year's to come—pro-
vided the absolute equality of the:
status of Germany among the other
Great Powers is revognized without
reservation.
Finally, here is .the main practical
conclusion that I have, drawn from
all that I have recently seen in Ger-
many. "Hitlerism" is the business of
the Germans themselves. And it
would be very foolish for us to dis-
regard its strength merely because we
do not like it, or to imagine that it
contains within itself serious ele-
ments of instability. For my part, f
cannot, see that it contains any snicahe
elements at all. Hitler has passed
front the stage of party leaden to
being the national prophet of an ex--
ceetlingly serious people, and
would need another such prieph'et to
displace him
"White" and `Black"' Alkal
While the amount of alkali pre; . t

ance, •says- the Dorni < ion Chemist,
