This Car Is Worthy of Your Confidence You can buy a Saxon car secure in the knowl edge that you are getting full value in tried and proven motor car mechanism. Saxon cars are built to win the confidence of their owner and they do. But first they must win the confidence of their builders and this they could not if they embodied any feature or any part of unproved worth. So no Saxon principle of construction has ever been changed until a better principle has fully proved its greater value. And so no Saxon car has ever embodied features of doubtful worth. Saxon cars have simply been in a state of transition, passing thru phase after phase of gradual improvement without a break in pro duction. They are refined from time to time, not radically changed. They are In the fullest sense of the phrase, products of evolution. They are developed rather than built. Isn't that the kind of a car you want one that you can feel confident is right before you put down your good money for it? If It is, then you want a Saxon.

CHATTANOOGA BAKERY "at?"h.c" MlilBMi TEXT Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy frea spirit. Psalm 61:12. f This is one of the best-known and most highly praised Psalms of David, which one has called, "the mold or experience of a sinning saint who comes back to God in full communion and service." David, It must b e remembered, was a man at one time in full com munion with God, even though e so greatly sinned, as this Psalm in dicates. Through a sudden and strong temptation he committed the gross sin of adultery, and then even tried to cover over some of the effects of it by being accessory to tho sin of murder. Nevertheless, and because he did really know God, his conviction of sin in the premises nearly broke his heart. Ills cry of repentance and ap peal for mercy are recorded in this Psalm, whose wall of sorrow and sub sequent shout of joy have been heard through all the ages bringing instruc tion and comfort to many another sin ning saint. It is for this reason so instructive for us to observe how David returned to God. First of all, he. clearly and definitely Judged his own sin before God. This is expressed in the first six verses of the Psalm where he cries out for mercy, acknowledging his guilt and pleading for a thorough cleansing from his iniquity. Forgiveness and Cleansing. In the next division of the Psalm we see forgiveness and cleansing accord ed him and secured on his part by faith in the atoning blood. This is expressed in verses 7-10, in the sym bolism of the" hyssop, in the washing of his soul until It is whiter than snow, in the blotting out of his iniquity, and in the creation within him of a clean heart. We now see the restored one filled with the Spirit of God, in verses 11-17. lie is fyied with the joy of salvation ; he Is filled with power to teach trans gressors and convert sinners; he is filled with the spirit of service and with the spirit of worship as indicated In his overflowing praise, and the pre sentation unto God of the sacrifice of a broken spirit and a contrite heart. Finally he Is seen In fellowship with God and interested now, not so much in things concerning himself, as in the things that concern God. His cry is, "Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion; build thou the walls of Jeni- sal em." The Same Truth in the New Testament. One finds all the more encourage ment to urge this because the same truth, only put in another way, is set before us again In the New Testa ment. You will find it in the First Epistle of John, chapter , I, verse 9, where, addressing Christian believers, he says, "If we confess pur sins. He (1. e.. God), is faithful and just to for give us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Because a man Is saved by God's grace through faith in Christ, I. e., because he is a true Christian believ er, Is not to say that he will never again commit a sin against God. It Is indeed his privilege, through the powei of God's spirit dwelling within him, to continually live a life of victory over sin. and yet, like David, he may fall. Under such circumstances, what Is he to do? Has he lost out again? j Has he utterly fallen never to be re stored any more? Has Christ's sac rifice forever lost its efficacy for him? No, thank God, Christ, as his high priest in heaven, ever llveth to make Intercession for him. And now, like David again, it is for him to judge his sin before God, for that is really the meaning of the word, "confess." Let him do this, and he will find God "faithful and just to forgive" him. "Faithful" to his promise that means, and "just" because Jesus Christ has paid the penalty of his sin. "Merciful and Just." That word "just" la full of strength and comfort for us. God is not only "merciful" In forgiving the man who comes to him through Christ, but he is "just" in doing so. He is "just" be cause' that man's sins have already been atoned for on the cross, and it would be unjust to Ignore that great fact and to cast the man away. This is a lesson for Christian back sliders, and alas! there are many of them in the church. Some of them would gladly return to the father's house, but they are timid and fearful and so discouraged. Put let them take heart again, for God loves and yearns over them. The story of the prodigal son in Luke 13 was meant for them. That which he did insured a loving welcome for him in his old home, and so let them follow his example as out lined in the-language of Psalm 51 and I John 1 :9. They also will be met in the same way, and know what It is to have the old joy of their salvation re stored unto them, because by grace they will be cleansed from all unrighteousness. MnraoNAL stiNMrsaiooL (By K. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute.) (Copyright, 1917, Western Nrwapaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 3 JESUS BETRAYED AND DENIED. LESSON TEXT John 18:1-11, 15-17. . GOLDEN TEXT He was despised and rejected of men. Isa. 63:3. In teaching this lesson to some of the younger classes, emphasis might be placed upon the dramatic scene in the garden of Gethsemane, and Peter's de nial at the fire. In some of the inter mediate classes the scholars might be asked to write short, one-minute es says, describing the scene as though they, themselves, were present. For the adult classes of course the central theme is the way that Christ's follow ers neglect him today even as the dis ciples slept In Gothsemane, and be trayed him like Judas or denied him like Peter. I. The Place of Retreat (w. 1-3). In his emphasis upon the spiritual gran deur of the deity of Jesus, John does not dwell upon the agony in the gar den. He, however, gives us that noblest passage in the New Testament (chs. 14-17), the like of which cannot be found anywhere else In the world's writings. Having spoken these words, Jesus and his disciples went over the Brook Kedron (v. 1) to the garden, there to bear the awful weight of agony that was crushing him (Matt. 20:38), while at the same time he must strengthen his disciples, and fortify them against the coming trials. That this place was a, place of frequent re sort for Jesus, Judas was aware. It was a sanctuary in which Jesus met the Father, and those who knew him knew it as a place of prayer, and the most likely place to find him at that time of night (v. 3). Rebuffed at Mary's prodigality, Judas had consort ed with the priests, and now covetous ness is to reap Its reward. Judas was not hardened In a day. His greed for money, while at the same time listen ing to the teachings of Jesus, had gradually hardened his heart. II. Protecting and Protesting (w. 4-11). (See Matt. 26; Mark 14; Luke 22). Jesus went forth in order to con centrate the attention of the soldiers upon himself, and to prevent a general attack upon the disciples. In answer to his question, they said they were seeking "Jesus, the Nazarene," a term of contempt which Jesus answered by saying, "I am he." John adds, "and Judas also which betrayed him stood with them." Greed for money, grow ing into theft and falseness of life, ended with the blackest crime the world has ever known. His salutation sent them backward (v. 6). Perhaps among the officers were some who had failed to arrest him on a former occa sion (ch. 7:46), and who were now overawed by his marvelous words and majestic bearing. Again he answered, "Whom seek ye?" (v. 7), and ttiey 6ald, "Jesus of Nazareth," the same words as before, but probably In a changed tone, showing that they were prepared to listen with respect, though certainly not with reverence, to what he might have to offer. What a dra matic picture the brazenness of sin, Judas who stood among the enemy, and the fearlessness of virtue, Jesus, facing his accusers. Augustine, com menting on this verse, says, "What will he do when he comes as a guest, if he did this when giving himself up as a prisoner?" nis act, however, shielded his disciples, for not one of them was to be lost (v. 9 R. V.), and he knew they were not strong enough yet to stand the test of arrest and trial. At this point Peter attempts to defend Jesus (v. 10). . III. Peter Denying (vv. 15-17). As Jesus was led away, his disciples for sook him. They all left him, and fled, but Mark adds that a certain young man followed Jesus. It Is conjectured that this young man was Mark. With quickness of action we are now trans ported to the judgment hall. There we see him bound, with his hands shackled behind his back, and led first to Annas (v. 13), which was an Il legal transaction, "as though some reformer should be tried at Tammany hall in New York" (Robert E. Speer). Annas was now very old. From him he was taken to Caiaphas, followed by Peter "afar off," now in a different mood than when he smote the high priest's servant's ear. With him was that other disciple (John's way of re ferring to himself). Now John was known to the high priest, and he went In with Jesus Into the' palace, but Peter was standing without at the door. Notice the stops of his failure; First, he "slept" in the garden; sec ond, he followed "afar off" (Luke 22 :54) ; third, he "stood" without ; fourth, he "sat" in the midst. Then notice the denials, the last ac companied by cursing. Attempts, to compromise with the world meet with the same measure of failure today as when Peter was in the judgment hall. Bad company Is a good thing to keep out of unless gone into to witness for Christ. Peter did not have that pur pose. The Lord had only to "look" at Peter (Luke 22:61) and he "remem bered." We may deny Christ by ouf silence, by remaining outside of the church, by denying his existence, by profanity, by ridiculing his friends, by praising his enemies or by living i life of worldllness.

Fly traps that will catch 500,000, or 50 quarts of flies in a season will be built this spring by some of the boys In the Grand avenue manual train ing center. Irving P. Lorentz, the in structor, is making a model, and will soon have some of the boys construct ing the device as a side line, accord ing to the Milwaukee Journal. A square framework is made of nar row strips of wood, and within the frame Is placed a cone of wire net ting. In the model of Mr. Lorentz an ordinary glass jar is used in place of the wooden frame. A banana peel or similar refuse is placed as a bait at the bottom of the trap. When the trap is crowded with flies, they can be killed by dipping the filled trap into boiling water. "The Idea is excellent," Mr. Lorentz said. "The construction is simple, so that seventh or eighth grade boys should easily be able to make it. At the same time it Is inexpensive, the cost of materials probably not exceed ing 50 cents. If all the centers encour aged the making of these traps, it would prove a most effective weapon against the fly. Such a trap would kill off the flies before they even got Into the homes."

Getting its inspiration from the val uable service already performed by the steel helmet, La Nature of Paris sug gests that the soldier's entire body should be cased in armor. It proposes, says Popular Science Monthly, that the sides of the head, neck and upper part of the chest be covered with a gorget, a kind of collor, and the loins with a kind of skirt, like the lower part of a habergean, both In chain mall. A cuirass, or breastplate, of mov able plates of steel would protect the chest and back, and hinged steel elbow pieces and knee pieces would cover the joints. A face mask and goggles would complete the suit. The armor would be light enough to afford perfect free dom of action. Using His Feet. "Whom in the world did you take dancing lessons from?"
