Ont. WHAT IS A CBRISTA[N ? It Ia the Simplest and Yet One of the Most Far Reaching Things Imaginable. "Whosoever loth not bear his cross and come after inc cannot be my dis- ciple." -Luke, xiv., 27. A Christian is a disciple of Josue Christ. Yet there aro many who arc called Christians who aro not the dis- ciples of the lowly prophet of Nazareth, and there are ninny who are truly his disciples who are not known as Chris- tians. It may bo that there are these oho are Christians and do not kn•)ty it; it .s certain that there aro those tvho arena Christians, according to rho simple standard of the founder of Christianity, tvho nevertheless coin fo rt themselves with the delusion that they belong to hie followers. Organizations. churches, and sects do net make Christianity; they are only the instruments for its work, the vehicles for its expression. One might have his name emblazoned in the larg e..t possible letters on the officiary or the plain membership of the church and still be altogether .a stranger to Christianity. There are many able to prove by ar- guments elaborate and carefully erect- ed the historic accuracy of the various accounts of the life and word of Jesus, usually proving more for him than Ile claimed for himself, who yet are utter strangers to his spirit; who. while bit- terly defending his repututicn by all their lives entirely MISnI:pREsENT ITIS CIIAR:%CFP.R. These aro they who, while with their his they invite men to become the dis- cijeles of the Great Teacher, with all their powers inc &&seting barriers and creating difficulties. They say you can- not be a Christian unless you will go through these motions or unless you will bring yourself to accept these and the other notions. The most striking evidence of the value and vitality of the Ideas and ideals of Jesus lies in the fact that, de- spite the mistaken zeal in which his fol- lowers have endeavored to make discip- leship an intricate and difficult affair of lntcllectual propositions, ritual, and or- ganisms, Christianity still stands in the world as on the whole synonymous with the highest in character and conduct. To be n Christian means only that any pian or woman takes life on the terms that this one whom Wren call the Christ took it, that his is the type ot life to which they seek to conform, and Me service to the world that which they seek to render. The distinguishing marks of that life of long ago were its sense of the infi- nite, so clear a consciousness of the most high that it expressed itself in terms of relationship and so taught men to cry "Our Father,' and a clear faith in humanity, a consciousness of the worth of character, that led hire to sea the brother in every man and to give his life in sincere service for f:Vi:N THOSE \ViIO OPPOSED Iii\t. IIc•re, fro. was a life lived for the higher values and on the highest lev- els. A life that ever reminded u.s how much more the Whin himself is worth than the sheep, the person than the pos- esessions, tiro toiler than the tools. And so he lived. not only for character in himself, but that all might have the right to the freedom, fullness, and joy of life. The essential elements of such a char- acter aro few and simple. We readily recognize its faith in God, not in any narrow or dogmatic sense. but in the consciousness of the infinite spirit working for good; faith in man. in his tivorth and passible g•ocdiress• and faith in that high goal of all society which the teacher called the kingdom of hea- ven. \Vheev..r turns his life toward these things, whoever looks out on life with eves of faith and love, whoever seeks the ideal ends for humanity, whoever serves the eternal propaganda of righte- ousness, peace, and brotherly love, even though he never had heard of Christ. still belongs to him. To be animated with that spirit, de- liberately to choose to live that kind of life, to take its pains and joys, to do its work, to strengthen one's self with its motives and dynamics, lo be satisfied with its high gains. to pay its price, to follciw this path, is to be a Christian, because it Ls to be a full man and -bro- ther to all men.

(Based on the text. of tho Revised Version). Introductory. -We reanine our study or the Old Testament at the point in the history of Israel where oo discontinued it six .monlhs ago. The twelve tribes have entered the land of Canaan, and for a period roughly estimated at from two to four hundred years have bean under the rule of Judge's who governed in different parts of the country with vr.rying degrees of strength and faith - dulness to the people's welfare. Samuel was the last of these Judges, and a sur- vey of his early life as helper in tho tabernacle and of hie later years as ruler in Beulah (1. Scut. 7. 17), dispens- ing justice throughout the country (I. Sam. 7. 16). performing the functions of priest on tchni( of the people (1. Sank. 7. 9), and standing ns the prophet • f Jehovah brings us to the time of our study for this Quarter which includes the remainder of Samuel's lite and the establishment and early years of the monarchy in Israel. The materials for Ibis study are to be fertind in the first rind second books of Samuel which were originally one. The books received their name from Samuel. not as an indication that he Wrote them. but because he is the central figure throughout much of the period which they cover. 'Their author is unknown, hut it is generally thought that he included in his work st era! very old accounts dating back to i)avids reign and, perhaps, even earlier contemporary periphetic records and oral traditions. if this be so, the rsther broken nnrr•ative and the 1-opeli- lion of stories d.ffering in their detail= ar • easily understood.

The astronomer had come up to see the as- trnoiner-u'nson's clacks, and while ex- amining them the constructor himself turned up.

The outer rim of the circle in which the movements of the planets are rep- resented is marked with the days of the month, and a pointer straws the dale as this rim revolves. Over the clock face is another ingenious device. i1 shows the rising and Felting of the nioon in all its phases, the model co- inciding with the movements of the rr:sroln itself. More than this, the moon's a:tituele a.bave the earth's horizon is al- wey, correctly indicated. It was a ro.nt which appealed to the Royal Society vis- itor. The arrangement is an ingenious one.

Nature has decreed that cows shall put varying percentages of fat and non-fal solids into their milk, according to their ]•reeds, their feeds, their ages. their con- ditions and their environments. The na- tural rouge of butter fat is from 1.5 per cent. up to 10 percent. The law makers of New York, through 30100 unexplained and inexplicable becloudtnent of their in- tellectuals, have decreed that the cows when they put less than 3 per cent. of Luper fat into their milk are law -break- ers and "adulterate" their product, says the New York Farmer. The saute late makes the owner of the cow the adulter- ator if he offers their milk for sale just as they give it. 'fo adulterate means to put in foreign substances. Nothing in that way is done by either the cow or her owner. Of course, if milk, as the cows give it with less than 3 per cent. et butter fat Ls adulterated by analogy, all milk with more than 3 per cent. of butter fat Ls adulterated. The "state stan- dard" should work botch ways, but in this case it does not. The standard has only forbearance, comfort, profit and legal safeguarding for middlemen, who, be- eahwe of the standard, are at perfect lib- erty to insist that the milk producers shall (rand over to thein at 2 or three cents a quart. milk that contains front 3. to 6 per celnt, of butter fat, which they, the middlemen, are permitted to sten- ardize, that Is to skim down to the stan- (lard of 3 per cent., and then sett it at to 12 cents n quart, while the removed 1 utterfat is solei at creast prices. No "adulteration" there of course. It is "adulteration" when the producer's cows give milk below the. standard. it ks not "adulteration" when the middleman skims out 1 to 3 per cent, of butter fat and sells the skim milk at full -milk prices. \Vas there ever a more mon- strous absurdity than the "standard for milk?" It robs the producer. It, ignores nature. It outrages common sense. It protects the middleman in his exactions from the producer and his extortions from the consumer. The middlemen can test a producer's milk, find It below tho standard, accuse him of a crime and have him punished. The middleman can lake milk above the standard and rob it down to the standard, and sell it as whole milk to the consumer, and neither the producer nor the consumer can have the tniddlenhan punished, because he keeps in line with the unjust and absurd standard which simply sets the limit for the middleman's wrongdoing and pro- tects htsn in the injustice he practicos daily. It would be interesting to see some expert -attempt to justify the milk stan- dard. The state can regulate the scale of reilk on its percentage of fat and other slid contents. This method would mean a sliding scale of prices. such as a price fer skint nillk, other prices for 1 per cent. up to 6 per cent. fat., contents, of from 10) per cent. to 15 per rent. total solids In the milk. Then ttte consumer would get exactly what he whiles and would pay for what he gets. 'Then the prodtecer wouldet the real mnrket value of their milk. When the middleman would have to deaf honestly. \VOUi.DNT TAICI•. IT. (Look herr, Dorothy, 1 dont like ye ung Freshman corneae t,erc so much, Next tune lie calls just give him the' cod shoulder."
