TNS, SUNDAY SNp01 STUDY INTERNATIONAL, LESSON, DECEMBER 7, Lesson X. -The Fall of "Jericho:' Josh. 6. 10 to •U 27. Golden Text, Mark 0 'Verse 8 The chapters intervert ing between this and our last les- son mention the . erection of two .monuments, each composed of twelve •large stones taken by twelve men from the empty channel of the Jordan at the command of Joshua.' The first of these was set up west. of the. Jordan at the place of -the first night's encampment of Israel after °tossing, the second in 'the; river -bed' itself at the place where' the priests- bearing the ark had stood while the people pissed over. At Gilgal, aouth-east of Jericho, the .host of Israel is commanded to pause before, marching on -to the actual conquest ofthe city:. Here the covenant of circumcision, -neg lected during the entire forty years of desert 6ojourn, is re-estab- lished, and here Joshua is greatly encouraged by a night vision of the prince of the host of Jehovah. When Joshua had 'spoken -The words of instruction, and exhorta- tion reported in verses 1-7. Before the Lord -That is, before the ark of the covenant, which to Israel represented the,presence of Jehovah ljimself among his people, 9. Armed men went .before : the rearward came ,after -The priests with their trumpets, follow- ed by other priests bearing the ark of the covenant. These marched in the centre of the column and were protected' before and behind by the -rmed men who constituted. the actual fighting force of the in- vading army. 10. Neither shall any word pro- ceed out of .your mouth -Silence on the part of an advancing or at- tacking army in open combat or attack on the stronghold of an enemy was practically unknown among, the ancients, who seem to have gathered courage in propor- tion as their tumult and shouting was louder than that of their enemies. 11, Going about it -once -Once on the ,First and on each of the suc- ceeding five days, until the seventh, on which the city was compassed not once, but seven times (compare verses 14, 15). 14. The camp -At Gilgal. 15. Compassed tie city after the same manner seven times -The cir- cumference of the walled city may have been somewhere between three and five miles, making a total march fort the last day of between twenty-five and thirty-five miles. 17. Accursed - Razed to the ground and utterly destroyed. The word in" the original has the same ease as the word "consecrated," the utter desecration meted out to he place being the consuming as f a sacrifice of offering to Jehovah. Rehab the harlot -First men- ioned in chapter 2 in connection with the visit• of the two spies sent by Joshua to ascertain the strength. and position of the besieged city. his woman, like many others of Sr unfortunate class in ancient imes, seems to have carried on the rade of "lodging keeper for way- acing men." From the mention f the stalks of flax. arranged on the at roof of her house for drying, nd the further mention, of the carlet or crimson thread or yarn n her possession, it has been in - erred that Slit was engaged Also n' the manufacture of fine linen, and that she practised the art of yeing, for which especially the hoenicians were earlyfamous. In Blatt. 1. 5 Rahab's name 'occurs in the genealogy of Jesus. There she 'veers as the wife of Salmon, the on of Nason, and the mother.of oaz the grandfather of Jesse compare Ruth 4. 20, 21; 1 Chron. . 11, 51, 54). The service rendered y Rehab to Israel` in hiding and rotecting the spies called forth lie nation's'sincere gratitude and scored for herself and all of her amily and relatives the protection f the Israelites and admission to the community of Israel doubt - es on terms of equality of citizen hip. The narrative in the book of, oshua tells us nothing concern - g her, after life and conduct, but ith in the God of Israel and Mop - oh into the community • of his hosen people was doubtless accom- anied by true conversion, New s t 0 t T h t t 0 fl a s f d P a s B ( 2 b p t 5 f 0 in le s in fa ti c p THIS IS A STORE OF P I)E ENi)AS L,E 'VALUES W, A store That keeps in touch with the constantly 'hanging jewelry styles. • - store thatell s s the sameods o ' g. as those sold in e better stores all over the country - vi sells them, too, at as low prices. -as ANY STORE `verything we show . you can be depended upon to aE exactly what we tell you it is.

Teaching Mathematics to the Na- tines of New Guinea. Bishop Stone- Wigg, who was 'for some years in charge of the English Church Mission in New Guinea, did his share' of the routine work, and sometimes took the "upper mathe- matical class"in the school for na- tives, Arthur K. Chignell, in "Twenty- One Years in Papua," de- scribes some of the bishop's experi- ences. The phrase "upper mathematical class" is pretentious, but the class contained some boys who could do compound long division, and long measure, and a despatch from Sir William MacGregor to the Queens- land government speaks of "one phenomenal boy who was studying algebra -probably- the first Papuan who ever did so." They were all taught copy -writing and composi- tion. They read English to a cer- tain extent, and the native lan- guage fluently. They were taught conversational English by the Gouin method, but they did not much like to speak it-, They learn- ed the outlines of geography, and could read at sight a sol-fa tune written on the blackboard, "I enjoy these sums," wrote the bishop; "the little heads get so muddled, and the Iittle faces so perplexed. The wild shots at an- swers that they make combine de- spair and hope -despair of ever get_ ting the right answer, and a' faint hope that they may hit upon it by accident. - There is one splendid lit- tle fellow, who regularly gets his sums as ayrong as they can be, and as my pencil goes through each er- ring figure, the sounds and sighs he emits are enough to upset my gravity. Another boy, ,whenever he hands me his slate, says, rlisparag- ingly, 'All wrong, hada' (master). "It is hard work getting them to use their heads. They have never had teethink, but their instincts are as keen as can. be. Yet they • learn wonderfully well, and though much patience and perseverance are de- manded, their teacher sees steady progress. In dictation, their spell- ing is very accurate, a mistake be- ing of rare occurrence, as the lan- guage is phonetically written. But they have no idea of divisions be- tween the words, and as you dic- tate the sentence, a little head will bob up and ask, `Bads, pive (5). wood?' or, ''Tiree(3) word t' And if you do not tell diem, you will have all 'the words running into each other, like cars in a railway colli- sion,'' There, was ono promising little person, nicknamed "The Arch- bishop," who evolved a system of marginal notation to his sums. Against an indistinct figure he would put "Tuau, wci, naeni" (This,; 0: my friend, is a 8). Oppo- site the next, perhaps, it would be, Tuau, ;wei a terei boar (0 friend of, mine, I have done this' wrong) ! and wrong assuredly it was! He- then e then' ventured on English, and wrote a diffident "rem" .across an- other' sum, He meant this for. "wrong,"' but the sum was right l The bishop always had an answer for the critic who asked, after be- ing told aboutthe generalc uce- g el tional work of the missionaries, What,' after all, is the good of teaching little, blacks to make doilies I" ' - "It is not the doily that matters,'' replied the bishop; "it is what the i co doilyrepresents-theat en p r perseverance, and concentration of mind that it is so difficult and yet so necessary to teach in this tropi- cal land " 9 ` Hungry. "Darling," he murmured, as soon as they were seated in the high priced restaurant, "you can have anything you want on the menu.

At All Grocers THE SOUL AND; THE BODY Retirement Is Dangerous . and' Active Life In. the Outer World Always Beneficial To the end that they may bring their sacrifices in the open field,- Leviticus xvii:., 5.• - Undoubtedly one of the most sa- lutary discoveries of modern medi- cal science is that of the value of fresh air asanagent of general bodily health. 'In the old days we used to muffle up our throats to keep out bronchitis, pad our chests against 'consumption and sleep behind closed windows to escape the contagion of the night atmosphere. To -day all this is changed. The victim of a bad throat or weak chest is taught to expose the affected parts to the outer air as much as possible. The fresh air treatment of tuberculosis is now universal. The wise man. sleeps in winter as well as in sum- mer with every window wide open -or, better still, out of doors l To keep out in the open air is in our time the first Iaw of health. Now, very impressive is it•to note that what is so true as regards the body is no less true as regards the soul. In the spiritual life, as well as the physical, we are learning the value of fresh air. No longer do we drive the tempted soul into the ways of solitude or separate the sinner from contact with his fel- lows. No longer do: we regard the monastery as the refuge of virtue or the dark' silence of the,hermit cell as the Cure of Spiritual. Corruption, If a man is overweighted with cares or beset by temptations or stricken with some loathsome moral cancer let him flee from the lonely chamber where lie knows only dull brooding and sterile remorse and desert the towering altars where ho makes confessions and does pen- ance. Let him take his anxiety or sin into the open air, Let him go down to the sea, and look unto the. hills. Let him heed the skylark, and dance with the daffodils. Let him seek the company of the site, and bow to the benediction of the stars. Let him, in a word, hold "communion with Nature in her variable o ms f r and lel his, cares will fall from him" n like a ragged gar- ment and his sin vanish away as a little thing. The air will make him pure. The sun will give him light. The shining firmament will lift him to its own expanse of beauty. In the words of Mrs. Browning The little cares that fretted use I lost them yesterday Among the fields above the sea, Among the winds at play Among the husking of the corn Where drowsy poppies nod, Where ill thoughts die and good are born, Out in the fields with God. And if it is beneficial thus to bring our ills under the influence of Nature, how much mere bene- ficial still is it to bring them under the influence of our fellows! What unworthy thought can flourish In the Presence of a Good Masi, or what ignoble motive survive the grace of a good woman? How shall we maintain our petty envies and deceits in the face of little children, or keep our selfishness alive amid the sweet inufiences of comradeship and family love I Where is there' cruel passion or secret sin which is strong enough to resist the whole- some impel.ses,of the crowd'? What we need, if we wouiu'keepout souls free of all unhealthiness, is --s' m y the open air -the open air of rub- bing elbows, clasping hands, mak- ing friends, knowing people, "going with the multitudes" -above all, of seeking the near companionship, if possible, andthe distant influence, if nothing better, of men and wo- men who are stronger, braver, purer than ourselves ! To know men, •to love men, to work with men, to live with men -to know the grace of brotherhood and the joy of fellowship -this is the first law of the spirit. Out in the open, therefore ! Away from solitudes and silences -from windows closed and doors barred against the world! And lot it shall be seen that strength and beauty are the sanctuary of the soul as well as of- the body, v. 3.te John Haynes Holmes. STRENGTH OPP TflE STUBBORN Why Mary Malone Left the Service of Mrs. Bixby. How much perfectly good, ser- viceable will -power people waste in mere obstinacy I Martha Malone, after working three years for Mrs. Bixby, appeared one morning at Mrs. Wilson's back door, and ap- plied for a place, "Why," said the surprised Mrs. Wilson, "I' thought you were work- ing for Mrs. Bixby !" "I was, mum. But I've quit.,, "Is that so 2"' Mrs. Wilson could not conceal her surprise. '°I thought you liked her." - "Indeed I do, mum," "And I'm sure she liked you." "I believe she did, mum. Least- wise she always seemed to." "Well-" 'Mrs. Wilson was still wondering what the trouble had been. "Well," said Martha, seeing that some explanation was expected, "you see it was like this, mum. I. always put the bluee china plates on the righthand side of the cupboard, and this morning the reissue comes along, and moves 'ens, , incl says, 'Martha, every mornin' for three ,years y_ou've put the, plates on the wrong side, and I've had to come along and move them --and I can't stand it any .longer.'' "And,"'' said Martha, "I• says to her, Mrs. Bixby, every mornin' fr2r. three years I've put them plates in the right ,place,, and you come along and moved them, and 'theh'T `bad to come along and move them back, and I can't stand it any longer, either.' "And so I quit." "My dwelling is bounded on the north by a gas works, on the south of an India rubber works, on the west by 'a vinegar factory, and on the east by a, glue -boiling estab- lishment," "A nice neighborhood, I must say !''
