O springtime, the season of aspira tion! with what delight in life ahou ftllest the heart! On one side, the spiritual world Is attracting us, and we feel Msured that only in Its closest boqti ofnKlon can our true happiness be found On the other hand. Nature with her thousandfold witcheries calls back our hearts and our senses to her own eternal life. It la bard that neither the Internal nor the external can fully satisfy our desires, and that tbs souls In which the two are united are so. few. A life purely -spiritual cannot satisfy us; there la something in us that has a longing for reality. As the thoughts of the artist can find no rest until be has embodied them ia an external representation, so the ob ject of. all our aspiration is to And in the perfect material, the counterpart and reflection of the perfect spiritual. ?Von Scbelllag.

SELLERS, Actio* Director at Sunday School Courae at Moody Blbls Inatltuto, Chlcaco.) LESSON FOR MAY 30 BRINGS ARK TO JERUSALEM. LESSON TEXT?II* Samuel ?:U-19 and Paalm ??. (Btudjr all of chapter ?.) GOLDEN TEXT?I wee glad when they ?aid unto roe. Let ua go unto the houee of the Lord.?Pealm 1S:1 This event probably oocurred B. C. 1042, In the twenty-second year of David'a reign. It would be a good plan to assign to various pupils such subjects as: (a) What the ark was a4d how It came to be lost; (b) Where It had been since the days of Joshua; (e) What occurred to It while In possession of the Philistines; (d) Who was Obed-edom? (e) Usslah? (f) Mlchal? (g) How Jerusalem came to | be the seat of government. I. The Ark Recovered, w. 1-5. David realised that while Qod was the Qod of all the tribes, still there was no visible religious center; there was the consequent danger of confound lag the local place of worship with that of some local Baal (god) and the | possible breaking up of the national ! reliance upon Jehovah. Where Kir | Jatb-Jearlm was Is not definitely , known, but perhaps It was eight or ten miles west of Jerusalem. The ark had lodged here for perhaps seventy I "years. David and they that were with him followed the example of the Phil- ? lsttnes (I Sam. 4:1-18) In their mode of transferring the ark rather than to | have It carried upon the shoulders of I the priests (Josh. 3:3). Preceded by j "David and the house of Israel," 1. e.. | leaders of the people and all others j present, they began the return Jour- | ney fromtbe house of Ablnadab. II. The Ark Retarded, w- Ml. They had reached one of the open places used as a threshing Poor when the oxen slipped and the cart was shaken. Usxlah. one of the two Into whose charge It had been placed, laid j hold of the ark to keep It from fall- j lng. Why was he slain therefore? We have already suggested the heason. How to carry the ark was plainly writ ten (Num. 4:6-12; 7:#). Neglect of God's word gets many well-meaning | people Into trouble, along with their friends, also. The ark was the sym bol of God's presence, and mep had j to be taught to retffire his hbly name and his glorious presence (Bee last clause v. 2). Usaiah's sin was the sin of Irreverence. He seems not to have sensed the invisible God in his visible abode. The result struck ter ror Into the heart of David and the people, and the ark was left In the house of Obed of Edom for a period ot three months. David's "improved plan" whs a proved failure. III. The Artt Restored, w. 5-19. David, by thus abandoning the ark. seems to have resented the Judgment of God, yet he must have realised that God had sufficient cause for his ecu. The ark Is a type of Christ, who Is Immanuel, God with ua The ark contained the law of God, as Christ enshrined the will of his Es ther. Over the law was the blood sprinkled mercy seat where God met his people (Bs. 26:18-22). In Christ we And our mercy seat where we meet GmJ.' Though this ark brought I Judgment to Uislah It brought bless ing to Obed-edom (v. 12). Even so Christ brings Judgment or Joy accord ing to our treatment of him. Obed edom so piously cared for the ark that both he and his household were rich I ly blessed. If Christ is really In our hearts we will be blessed, and Christ abldeth forever. IV. The Psalm of Praise, Pa. #4. In the Jewish synagogue this psalm Is retited at-the carrying back of the book of the law to Its shrine, and In the Greek church at the consecration of the church. The Jwenty-second I realm presents thereufferlng Savior: the twenty-third presents the risen Savior as the shepherd caring for and leading his sheep, and the twenty^ fourth tells of the reigning, glorified Lord. The whole earth Is Jehovah s (v. 1) and no Incident better teaches the converse, vis., that he Is God of the earth and not a mere tribal deity. He "founded" and "established' it, and all "the fullness," and "they that dwell therein" are his by creative and redemptive righL 81nce we belong to him we owe him worship and serv ice?and a servant Is one who "stands" v. 2). The conditions of fel lowship with Jehovah are "clean hands and a pure heart" (v. 4), those who deal with honesty and reverence. "Vanity" .and "Idolatry" are frequently synonymous terms. The first and the fourth condition relate to others, the second and the third to one's lnher Ufe (see I John 1:6, 7). The reward of acceptable worship and service Is "blessing from the Lord" (v. 5). In verse eight we find Israel's great name for God first used In the Psalms. He is gloriously strong, this Lord of the hosts of heaven. In I Cor. 2:8, Jesus who was cruci fied Is called the "Lord of Olory." Even so our coming King Is "strong and Mighty" and will prove himself "mighty In battle" (see Rev. 19:19-21). When he. the King of Glory. captivity captive all of his followers will have a part.to that triumphal entry. Choice of Vegetables.

WOOS OVER BORDER - ?. 1 barbed Wire Hinders Course of True Love. Dutch Suitor Parted by Frontier Fence From 8*veetheart on Next Farm Hat Lively Exparlenco Oat ting Pant Sentries. By W. jTlT KIEHL. (Corwepondent of tha Chicago News.) The Hague.?The couraa of true love rum anything but emoothly on Uta Belgian-Dutch frontier, especially when the aweethearta reside on op posite aide* of the barbed-wire fenoe. Pete la a Netherlander, Mleke ia a Belgian; hie farm atanda securely on Dutch aotl, hara precarloualy in GU tlo German)" (aa the Germane call i Belgium). At flrat the lovershad not noticed much of tha war, which haa left their dietrtct almoat untouched; then a atrong wire fence wae put up and German detachmenta of cavalry continually patrolled the Belgian aide, while aentriee ware placed at inter vale with loaded rillea and 8xed bay onets. Now it waa no longer poaalble to hold aweet converee at eventide after the farm work waa done. All that re mained waa to walk, he on one aide nT the wire, ehe on the other, and cast loving glances at each other, for the Uermana would allow no talk acroaa the border. .. At laat the ewaln apoke of hla sad plight to an acquaintance who for a consideration made it hla business to conduct Belgian refugees into Hol land. Would Goals (that waa the ac quaintance'* name) take him acr0" on Saturday night ao that be eojUi pass the whole Sunday with hla Mleke. And Gouts promised to do ao on the very next Saturday, when be was due on the other aide to meet fugitives at a certain prearranged place to take them safely into Holland. That Saturday evening waa damp and~mSty. "Just the right sort of weather for as," Louis enthusiastically put it, but his companion could not quite agree with him. aa he waded through marshes to the dike beyond | which stretched the wire fence. He waa wearing his Sunday beet and the seeping mud did not Improve the ap pearance of his nether garments. But Gouia assured him this marshy land was Just the safest spot to get across. As they approached the dike Louis cautioned Pete not to whisper or even breathe loudly. Cautiously they | crawled up the dike, reached the top and raised their heads (or a hasty glance around, but at once dropped them again. For there?though luck ily with his back toward them?stood a sentinel. i Down the dike slid the adventurers as noiselessly as they had come. Louis assured him that a few hundred yards farther along he knew of an other safe place. This time they were more fortunate, and. like rabbits, they burrowed under and through the wire and stood on Belgian, or perhaps we should say German, ground. ?Now Just a few hundred yards of? marsh and then we get into a good hard road." Louis exclaimed, and they deemed their troubled <tver. Then they i heard the tramp of feet along the good hard road atod distinguished the form of a German patrol. The men came straight up to the gate that led Into the marshy meadow where the frontier ruhners had hurriedly dropped to the earth. 'They're only resting," said Louis. And so It was. The Germans clam bered on to the gate and sat there talking for about a quarter of an hour, that seemed like a century to the two cramped and bedraggled men. Now, however, their troubles were e??c. They came out into the road and soon reached the small farm where Louis was to meet the refugees. Pete felt somewhat better aftev a hearty supper and dry clothea had been provided for him by the farm er's sympathetic wife and she had promised to .clean his Sunday attire and have it ready for him to wear next morning. Sunday dawned line and sunny. Somewhat stl? from his unwonted exercise, the strenuous suitor pro ceeded to the farm where his Mleke lived. Mleke, her mother and Pete were eaftng the meal when suddenly ; ~ they heard the thud of horeea' hoofs and down the bend In the road they saw a patrol of uhlans heading straight for the bouse. Mleke hastily pushed her gallant into the stable, then rushed bach to remove the third piste and seat her self at the table ' as if nothing had happened. Pete hurriedly crept into a meal bin and drew down the lid. He must have been then for boon, when toward evening Mleke came Into the stable. "Where are yon, Pete?" she whls-. pered, and Pete crept out from his hiding place as white as a miller. Mleke stopped for a laugh, then told him to gat away back Into Holland as fast as possible, as the uhlans were not al| asleep and this might be his only chance, for the whole patrol had been billeted on the farm and would be la and out at all hcun. So the sweethearts bade each other a hasty farewell and Pete hastened to return by the same arduous way he had come. Now he Is once more do ing his love making through a barbed wire barrier. WED ONLY FOR LOVE Dean Virginia C. Glldersleeve of Bar nard college declare! that there are fewer divorces among college women than among any other claaa, because the college graduate Is apt to marry purely for lore and not for aa occu pation or a borne. Motherhood, she declares, is really a profession, and a good cook may be a better one tor a knowledge of Greek. The greatest value of a college education tor girls says Dean GUdersleeve, lies In Just -this: that It gives them a better bal ance. a more rounded outlook and a truer appreciation of life's values.
