INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
DECEMBER 5.
Lesson Y.-Uzziah's Pride and Pun-
ishment, 2Chron. 26. Golden
Text: Prov. 29. 23.
I. The Fame of Uzziah
(Verses 8-10).
Verse 8. Gave tribute -See 1 Kings
4. 21; 10. 25; 2 Chron, 17. 11. Part
of the tribute which the Ammonites
gave Uzziah was evidently a right to
pasture his cattle in the Ammonite
country (see verse 10).
9. The corner gate -Probably the
gate at the northwest angle of the
city where the north wall approached
the Valley of Hinnom (see 2 Kings
14. 13).
The valley gate - The modern
"Jaffa" gate which leads to the Valley
of Hinnom.
10. Built Towers - Primarily for
defense from marauding bands.
The wilderness -To the south and
southeast of Jerusalem, extending
from the western shores of the Dead
Sea toward Beersheba.
Hewed out many cisterns -Reser-
voirs cut into the natural rock and
covered at the top except for a small
aperture. These were for storing the
rainfall. Many remains of such are
encountered by the traveller in Pales-
tine to -day.
The lowland -The maritime plain
to the west of Jerusalem between the
hills of Judhea and the sea.
The plain -The rich grazing land
beyond the Jordan, on the plateau of
Gilead,

II. His weakness (verses 15-21).
15. Marvellously helped -See verse
16. His heart was lifted up -His
pride became strong.
To burn incense - None but the
priests were allowed to celebrate this
rite. Hence Uzziah's transgression
(verse 18).
17. Azariah the priest -The high
priest (verse 20).
'With him fourscore priests-Uzziah
doubtless, had a large retinue with
Azariah, therefore, takes a
strong following, to withstand Uzziah
with force if necessary.
19, The leprosy brake forth hi his
forehead-Gehazi was thus suddenly
afflicted (see 2 Rings 5, 27).
20. They thrust him out quickly -
His own men thrust him out, for
death was the penalty (see Nunn. 18.
71 16. 31-85). And they wanted to
get him away from the incense altar

SENSES OF TREES.
Perseverance of a Poplar in, Sur-
mounting Obstacles.
Mr. James Rodway who is the
curator of the British Guiana Museum
and an eminent botanist, declares that
plants have at least three of our five
senses -feeling, taste and smell -and
that certain tropical trees smell water
from a distance and will move
straight toward it.
But trees not in the tropias can do
as well. A resident of an old Scotch
mansion, says a writer in the Scots-
man, found the waste pipe from the
house repeatedly choked. Lifting
the slabs in the basement paving he
discovered that the pipe was com-
pletely encircled by poplar roots.
They belonged to a tree that grew
some thirty yards away on the oppo-
site side of the house.
Thus the roots had moved steadily
toward the house and had penetrated
below the foundation and across the
basement until they reached their
goal, the waste pipe, a hundred and
fifty feet away. Then they had pierc-
ed a cement joining and had worked
their way in. There seems something
almost human in such unerring in-
stinct and perseverance in surmount-
ing obstacles.
MEANING OF HALF-MAST.
A Sign. That the Dead Man Was
Worthy of Universal Respect.
Perhaps you have noticed that
whenever a prominent person dies,
especially if ea is connected with the
Government, the flags on public build-
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up. This is called "half-mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
tion
onnecttion there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man? Ever since
flags were used in war it has been the
custom to have the flag of the super-
ior or conquering nation above that
of the inferior or vanquished. When
an army found itself hopelessly beat-
en it hauled its flag down far enough
for the flag of the victors to be placed
above it on the same pole, This was
a token, not only of submission, but
of respect. In those days, when a
famous soldier died, flags were low-
ered out of respect to his memory,
The custom long ago passed from
purely military usage to public life of
all kinds, the flag flying at half-mast
being a sign that the dead man was
worthy of universal respect. The
space left above it it for the flag of
the great conqueror of all -the angel
of death.

ages to Employers,
That certain Sheffield (England)
munition workmen have not realized
their line of duty in these times, was
evidenced at the Sheffield City Police
Court, when Mr. W. B. Esam and Mr.
W. R. Carter had to deal with many
serious e&aea of alleged sleeking on
the part of employes of Sheffield
firms, now engaged on woe's for the
fleet and the army.
B. Burdekin, solicitor for one of
the companies, stated that in three
months 370 men lost 15,000 hours.
Allegations of periodical drinking
bouts were not infrequent, while it
Was proved that the men were often
wont to take time off as they pleased.
Dr. Hadfield (Doctor of Metal-
iurgy) gave evidence in support of
his firm's eases, and appealed to the
bench to deal strictly with the delin-
quents.
Horace W. Walker was summoned
for 27 4s. damages for neglect of
work on eight days. The bench
awarded damages amounting to 25 7s.
6d. Mr.. Burdekin stated that the
damages were not the point in the
summonses. The money went into
the firm's war funds.
Charles Smith was summoned for
losing 104x,¢ hours, and the company
asked for 28 4s. damages. Mr. Burde-
kin stated that the defendant had
periodical bouts of drinking. De-
fendant said he had been suffering
from gout. The bench awarded £5
and costs. William Henry Wake was
summoned for £4 9s. damages for 81
lost hours, and was ordered to pay
22 2s. and costs. T. Townton, a
blacksmith's +striker for neglecting
his work through drink, for eight
days, was ordered to pay the 21 with
costs, 7s. 6d. John H. Howson and J.
Green were each fined £1 for losing a
day's work. George Neill *as order-

ple was ordered to pay 24 damages
for aims lost. Samuel Coldwell, a
moulder, was ordered to pay 23 and
costs for losing time, and Robert Jen-
nings was ordered to pay 25 and costs.

CHEER FOR BRITISH SOLDIERS
1N THE TRENCHES.
Many Funds Started in England Ex-
pected to Reach Total of
$8,000,000.
Santa Claus is making ready for a
dizzy whirl to the lines of the Eritieh
'soldiers at the front. His thousands
of agents in Great Britain are busily
at work now, accumulating the things
Santa will leave for the fighters on
the battlefields, writes a London cor-
respondent.
He starts his gigantic trip by call-
ing on the soldiers in Belgium, and
'from there goes on through to France
and the Balkans. He won't skip any
of the men in khaki.
Christmas in the trenches is to be
the biggest thing Britain can make
it. A score or more of organizations
are hard at It getting funds with
which to buy all manner of things to
cheer up the British Tommy and let
him know the folk at home are al -
1 ways thinking of him.
Newspapers are running Christmas
funds, and the public response has
been hearty. Already, with the funds
' scarcely two weeks going, approxi-
; mately $150,000 has been raised; but
I a tremendous lot more is needed to ac -
I complish all that Great Britain wants
to do for the soldiers in the field. It
is calculated that approximately
$8,000,000 either in money or articles
contributed will be needed to round
out a proper Christmas.
While a fund of $8,000,000 may look
formidable, it won't be so difficult to
1 get. The newspaper funds, it is esti-
mated, will produce well over $2,000,-
000 of it, while private cash donations
to the various organizations, together
with contributions of articles that will
begin to flow in within a month's
time, will make up the rest.
Queen Alexandra, always alert in
every move in aid of her countrymen,
is patroness of one organization that
is devoting itself to accumulating
articles of wearing apparel, such as
stockings, mufflers and handkerchiefs,
badly needed by the soldier in the bit-
terly cold weather. This organiza-
tion, of which Lady Paget is a mem-
ber, has already obtained enough to
fill 10 carloads of stuff for Santa to
carry along with him.
Other organizations working along
the same lines have the support of
the Duchess of Manchester, the Duch-
ess of Marlborough, and many other
wives of titled Englishmen. When
the final accumulations of all of these
aides to Santa Claus have been com-
pleted it is expected that every sol-
dier in the trenches will find some
useful gift of wearing apparel deposi-
ted in his dug -out on Christmas Day.
That is not all. Every soldier at
the front is to get a Christmas box
with these things in it: Half a pound
of tobacco, two pounds of candy, a
plum pudding, 100 cigarettes, and a
box of chocolates.
It may be that the boxes will be
even more plentifully filled. All de -1
pends on how much money is forth-
coming. The Christmas box as plan-
ned now costs each donor $1.25. That
is the rock -bottom, wholesale price; '
to buy the same thing at retail would,
cost $2.25. The wholesalers have put
the figures down as their share of the
Christmas fund, and all of them are
giving handsome cash donations be-
sides.
Christmas fund matinees are now
malting their appearance at the thea-
tres, and a good deal of money is ob-
tained in that way. The actors not
only give their services gratis for ,
these matinees, but are sending along ;
cash contributions as well.
Sir Herbert Tree heads a group of
actor -managers who are helping the'
Christmas project. Harry Lauder is
another. In sending his "bit" to the
fund the Scotch comediau wrote: "If •
any Britisher this Christmas deserves
a good Christmas, it's our men at the
front."
Churches throughout the British
Isles arc having sewing bees and tak-
ing up collections for the various
Christmas funds. Business houses,
department stores, small shops -all
are helping swell the flow of silver
and gold to buy the lenge stack of
gifts for the men fighting for the.
colors.
It is reported that to assist Santa
in getting the many tens of thousands
of Christmas boxes to the trenches
the railroad and steamship lines are
to be put at his disposal. Boxes will,
so it is said, be started to the Bal-
kans and the Dardanelles within a
few weeks, so Santa will find then all
there, ready to drop into the trenches.
POPULATION OF IRELAND.
An Increase Last Year Over the Pre-
vious Year.
The report of the Registrar General
of Ireland for 1914 shows that Ire-
land's decline in population has been
arrested and also her prosperity in -1
creased if the number of marriages is
a criterion. Last year shows a pope- 1
lation of 4,881,898, against 4,379,012
the previous year, with the lowest
emigration rate since 1851. Marriages
gained 33 per cent. over 1918. Im-
provement is shown in the matter of
illiteracy, which is rapidly dying out.
The figures of husbands and wives
who signed the registrar instead of
making their mark give 94.6 for hus-
band and 96.4 for wives.
"As regards illegitimacy, Ireland j
compares favorably with most coun-
tries," says the report. There were
only 8 per cent. of illegitimate births
in the whole country. Ulster showing'
the highest rate of any county at 4
per cent. and Connaught the lowest'
at .7. The general birth rate shows a
slight increase.
A drop of .8 per cent. in the death
rate is also noted, "old age" heading
the list of causes, with tuberculosis as
second. Last year's death rate was
16.3 the thousand.

DENOUNCED AT ALTAR:
Englishman's Protest at a German
Service in London.
There was a scene in the German
church in Montpelier Place, Brompton
Road, London, England, one Sunday
evening. While the organist was
playing the voluntary, an Englisman,
who, with several friends, was seated
in a front pew, rose, and, addressing
the pastor standing in front of the
altar, said:
"Wilt you conduct this service in
English?"
The pastor replied, "No, I will not."
The Englishman --"Will you express
regret for the Zeppelin raids and re-
quest the congregation to rise with
you as a sign of regret for those
outrages'?"
The pastor -- "No, I will not do
that."
The visitor then left his pew, and
standing by the altar with his face
to tho congregation said: "1, John
Lindsay Johnson, an Englishman,
hereby denounce the German Emperor
as a blot 'on civilization and an out-
rage on Christianity"
Amid murmurs of dissent from the
congregation, another Englishman
supported Mr. Johnson's protest, and
the party then left the church, a voice
with a German accent shouting after
them, "You ought to be in Colney
Hatch."
Tho service was proceeded with in
German, while outside an indignation
meeting was held. A crowd of nearly
300 people collected, and as the con-
gregation left the crowd sang "God
save the Icing."
