MAY 31, 1923 B. Y. P U. NOTES Friends and all, I wish to say that we have f???- our meeting next Saturday night?a devotional meeting. Will God Hear Me When I Pray? Th:s lesson is a lesson that should not be neglected and 1 trust that we may have a worthy program. Really what is quicker than radio? Prayer! Daniel's prayer beat radio; the answer came before he finished! Hear about it :.n D. Y. P. U. Sunda> night. Dear members, what about those D. B. R. When you miss these you miss the best part of the lesson. It is worth something to us to study these great men. Listen now. most of you will agree with me I think. Do you not Iik? a real good novel? Of course we do! Well here it is in a real form of fiction ail the difference is only most of the novels we read is nothing but a book full of lies ami the life of these great characters is really true. Now for our Bible Heading this week, we deal with the life, or part of the life of Elisha the successor of Elijah who never tasted of death but went to heaven alive. Now what about Elisha7 Let's study and see how he got along. The first thing or miracle Elisha did was to smooth the waters of Jordan and they parted and he crossed over or: dry soil. Next we find him in the city of Jericho. Here the waters were very bad and it failed to moisten Hie soil. Here they went to Elisha with their troubles. Then Elisha desired them to bring a cruse of salt: and then he went to the spring of the waters and threw the sait in the springs ar.d said "Thus saith the Lord 1 have healed these waters, there shall be no more dry or barren land." And so it was that the waters was healid. No it was not the salt that did this, nor it was not Elisha by himself. He did it through the power of God. There are plenty more great things he did but it would be better for you to study them yourselves so you can be better prepared to answer my questions Sunday night on this great character Yes what happened to the little children when they said unto him "go up thou bald head?** Turn to 11 Kings and this book will inform you of th great adventures of Elisha.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?-Jeremiah. the Courn*eoue Prophet. YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Jeremiah's Service to Hie Nation. Jeremiah was one of the last prophets of Judah. He saw the nation go Into the Babylonian Captivity and Jerusalem destroyed, after which he went Into Egypt. He was a lonely, misunderstood and unpopular prophet. He was most bitterly hnted and persecuted. His own countrymen turned against him. He was placed in stocks and then thrown Into a horrible dungeon from which he narrowly escaped with his life. The teacher should give a little sketch of hie life. The fol. lowing Is suggested: > 1. His Call (1:2-10). 2. His Commission (1:11-10). 8. His Sympathetic Heart (4:10). 4 H!b Great Sorrows (10:15-21). 5. The Divine Power Which Urged Him Forward and Sustained Him (10:7-9) Because he was called npon to prophesy against his own nation and at the command of Ood urged them to surrender to the Babylonians, he was regarded as a traitor guilty of treason against his own nation. I. The Rcshabitee' Teat (vv. 1-5). In the days of Jehoiaktro. the Ix>rd charged Jeremiah to bring the Reohahltes Into the house of the "Lord and test them regarding the drinking of wine. This he did In a place where lift* peojiit* 1111^:111 iit'iimu uivm, iii?r ?ii!i hflDR to tench Judith by example. The father of the Kechnhltes had given command that they should not drink trine. Their filial obedience put to shame the children of Judah for their lack of obedience Jonadab, the father of the Roehahlte*. was only a man but the one whose commands , Judah disregarded was the Almighty Q?h1. their Creator and Savior. It la Ood's plan that every man be tested. I Being a free Rgent, he run have character only through testing. II. The Filial Loyalty of the Roohablteo (w. (Vll). Though they were out of their own country" 'n midst of a foreign people they refused to drink wine, declaring that they had been true to the Instructions of Jonadab all their lives. It Is a fine thing when children remember their fathers and render obedience to their commands. III. The Loyalty of the Rochabiteo In Contract With the Disloyalty of JUvian t?V. ii-ii?). 1. The Appeal (rv. IS, 14). He made the appeal on the basis of the filial loyalty of the Rechahltes. He also reminded them that he had spoken to them In person, rising up early to do so. 2. The Ministry of the Prophet* frv. 15, 10>. When the people failed to render obedience to Ood. he sent to them the prophets, Who pleaded with them to amend their ways by turning away from their idols. Matthew Henry Indicates the points of contrast somewhat an follows: (1) The Rechahltes were obedient to one . who was but a man; the Jews dls! obeyed the infinite and eternal Ood. (2) Jonadab wa? dead and conld not know of their disloyalty or correct them for it. Ood Is all-knowing and ' lives forever and will pun'sh for disi obedience. (3) The Rechahites were never reminded of their obligations, J but Ood sent H!b prophets to speak | to Hip people. (4) Jonadab left the ' rtiarge but no estate to support the charge, but God rave the people a goodly land and prospered them In It. ' (5) Ood never assigned His people a taek as bard as Jonadab'a. but God's people disobeyed Him while the i Rechahites obeyed their father. IV. Judgment Upon the Jew* fe? Disobedience (v. IT), Ood declared that He wonld bring Judgment upon them according to what He had said. Judgment Is laid upon those who disobey and rebel against Ood. v. Reward or tne RechabKee for Thoir Loyalty (try. 18, 19). Becanse they had been true to tfet ; commands of Jonadab, they shonld ; always have a representative before God. God has such a regard for filial obedience that He lets no act go an | rewarded. ~ Be Sure of Happiness.

THE WATAIK CHERKY BLOSSOM ANCE on a branch of a cherry tree there was under the soft bark hidden a little Cherry Blossom waiting for the time to come when it could I go oot in its pretty fink and white i gown and show Itself to the world. Thfli-n ?o?> I these little blossoms, but this particular Blossom did not like to wait! she wanted to go at once. So one soft warm morning she peeped out "Oh, It Is summer already," she cried. "I knew It must be time, and here are all of my sisters sitting inside waiting. I shall be the first to show the color ol oar new gow n$. "If I wait nntl! the others appear who Is to admire me! We all will be Out She Threw Her Pretty Skirte. admired together. 1 shall not wait for thein; I want to be admired all alone."

It signifies pure, since it was flrat borne by a maiden martyr, whose name was chosen as the center of nn allegory of ; Intellectual religion. Katherine in Greek became Catliarina in the Latin tongue. Going further back, it can he found that this martyred Katherine , was a virgin martyr of Alexandria, . whose history Is unknown. Some histoid nns credit her with being the daughter of a king of Egypt, but this contention cannot be substantiated, j nowever u is, xvainennes pnnty ana ] sanctity arc unmistakable. The martyrdom of the original Katherine la recorded In literature and art j ?the destruction of the wheels that i were to have torn her asunder; her : martyrdom by the sword, and the i translation of her body by angels to Mount .Sinai, at whose foot stands a convent bearing her name, where she is adored perpetually, are all familiar j theme3 to the masters of pen and brnsh. Passing from the sublime to the practical, the fireworks called Catherine wheels are an allusion to the Instruments of torture which were destroyed by lightning and the tiny Brown bird known as the Klttywren Is j so-called from association as her sacred bird. The crusaders brought home the j story of Kntherine's martyrdom and her name spread in fame throughout the Wast. The Italians had a Santa , Cater Inn of Sienna, whose Influence , wqs potent dnrlng the Middle ages, thus adding another link to the chain of aanctlty which surrounds the name of Katherlne Another famous Katherlne was the countess of Salisbury, heroine of the oarter. John ox (Jaunt had a daughter. who, as queen of CestlUe, made j Catering a favorite In Spain, whence j It was returned to England with Rath erlne of Aragon. Catherine de Valols. queen of Henry V, brought it to France. Several of the queens of the much-married Henry Y1TI bore the name of Catherine. Kathleen, Kitty and Kate are names of Individual charm, yet they spring from Katherlne and are realty only translations, diminutives, and contractions of that most popnlar of feminine names. N? name la more universal than Katherlne ai her various derivatives, partly from association. The graceful Kathleen originated In Ireland, after Katherlne had become established in England. It Is an adaptation of the old Oealanlc Cathlln. meaning the "beam of the wave** and the name given to one of the stars. Kitty and Kate are old English names, which stand on their own merits as individual names and are frequently given in baptism. Katie Is . -. u. ?? ;a democrat SKiT "My brother.

"1 was tired of waiting." replied Cherry Blossom, "and so wouid you be if you had been shut up in the bouse all winter with never a chance to peck outside." "Better go back and wait a little longer.' warned Gentle Breeze as be wafted away. But Cherry Blossom did not take the warning, for the next day the sun was warmer and out she threw her pretty skirts for everyone to admire. But that night how sorry she was that she did not heed the warning of Gentle Breeze, for the night wind grev chilly and by and by along came North Wind for a farewell trip and he flipped little Cherry Blossom so hard that the next day when the sun came out there she was all withered.
