SCOUTS' FIRST WAR SERVICE.
Members of th Boy Rcouts of
America gave a practical demonstra-
tlon of the services which they can !
render In aa emergency when the dls- j
aster at th Eddyston Munition com- 1
pany's works occurred. More than 120
Uvea were lost In thl explosion and
several hundred people were Injured. I
Word was sent to schools lu nearby I
towns requesting the services of
scouts. All member were Immedltite- :
ly released from school dutle snd hur- .
ried to EiMyston and to Chester,
where they did splendid work assist
ing In first aid, acting as guard and :
doing various sorts of put ml duty. j
Their assistance was so iuvHluvble
during this trying period that many of ;
them were held for three days. They
also caine to the rescue of th West- j
ern Union Telegraph company, which
was flooded with telegrams from
anxious relatives of munition workers.
TAKE DOWN YOUR WIRELESS.
Here's another opportunity for boys
to demonstrate their loyalty and their
scouting ability. In
accordance with
.. ..-.i..- iuu.,j . ,,., ,,-.,1,1..,,,
the United States, it Is Illegal for any
persons not authorised government of-
flclals to operate a wireless plunt or
to have one ln such condition a to
be curable of oneratlon. This ai.ulles
to receiving as well as to transmitting
stations.
Every scout should dismantle has
appuratus Immediately. This means
the taking down of the antenna wire,
and the disconnecting and packing of
the Instruments.
Scouts should not only dismantle
their own apparatus, but report to the
local police department any stations
aside from those they know to be
government stations which are ln op
eration. SCOUTS AID FIREMEN.
The fire departments In many cities
are beginning to recognize the value of
the assistance which trained Hoy
Vouts can give. Under the direction
of Robert J. Charles the Boy Scouts
of Knnxvllle, Tenn., are being trained
to assist the Are deportment of that
city. Whenever a fire Is reported the
scout commissioner la notified, and he
In turn notifies the scouts In the city
through the officers of the various dis
trict commissions. This Is part of the
plan devised by Mr. Charles for th
mobilization of Boy Scouts in time of ,
fire or other disaster.
SCOUT KNOWS HIS CITY.
A scout knows his city as well as he
knows the trails in the forest. He can
guide a stranger wherever he desires
to go, and his knowledge of short cuts
saves him many needless steps. He
knows where the police stations are
located, where the fire-alarm boxes are
placed, where the nearest doctor lives,
where the hospitals are, and which Is
the quickest way to reach them. He 1
knows the numes of the city officials 1
and the nature of their duties. A scout
is proud of his city and freely offers
bis services when he can help.
CIVIC GOOD TURNS.
Th civic good turns of semtt are
adding very considerably to the com
fort and wellbelng of the communities
In which they live. Recently the Boy
Scouts of Alameda, Cul., cleaned the
beaches on the south side of their city
for a distance of several miles. Under
the direction of their scoutmasters the
boys of seven troops separated Into
groups and cleared the stretch of
sand. Following the cleanup, they held
a scout rally and made a big bonfire ot
he rubbish they had gnthered.
South Africa's Qold Produot
The output of gold In the Transvaal
during 1018 has been valued at $197,
423,500. This constitutes an Increase
of $4,287,540 on the output for 101.1,
and is the highest year's return in the
history of the Transvaal. The previ
ous record was the 1012 production,
which, however, has been beaten by the
1016 output by over three-quarters of
a million. The 1010 output represents
approximately 40 per cent of the
world's output South Africa has now,
since the first discovery of gold In that
country, contributed $2,575,000,000.

children, for that grace Is absolutely

grace can counteract the donun-urd
pull of sin.
1. He restored the high places which
had been destroyed by his father
(v. S). It Is thus seen that he sought
to undo the good work done by his
father.
2. lie erected altar to Baal (v. 8).
The Idols worshiped on thene altars
seem to have been Images of llcen-
tlous appearance, provoking the Indul- !
rence of the hmnnn rmsKlmi. Then, i

6. He practiced magic, witchcraft I

8o gross were these practices that I
they did even worse than the heathen

Children of Israel came Into the land.
It seems to be true always thnt when
those who profess to worship God turn
away from him, they Indulge ln sin

0, He rejected the Lord's testimony
(v. 10). Doubtless the prophets had
again and again admonished him, but
he teems to hnve turned entirely asids
from such 'remonstrances.
II. Manasseh's Chastisement (vv. 11
13). The Lord In grace used the As
syrians to chastise Mnnnsseh, so as to
bring him to see his evil ways. He
was captured, perhaps while hiding
among the Ihlcket ef thorns (v. 11).
bound In chains and carried to Baby
lon. This was most humiliating. Ills
hands were manacled, his ankles fas
tened together with rings and a bar.
III. Manasuh't Repentance, (vv. 12.
13). Eortunntely, the chastisement
bad Its desired effect.
Manasseh was
brought to his senses and turned from
his evil ways. The steps In his re
pentance are as follows :
1. Affliction (v. 12). This was most
severe. Bound with chains and dragged
to Babylon. While this was severe. It
was light in comparison with the sins
which provoked it Many today are
groaning under the weight of God's
chasUsement who have not yet come
to realize that the weight Is light com
pared with the offense. Affliction Is
God's love token (Heb. 12:0). Its pri
mary design Is to brine men back to
God.
2. 8uppllcatlon (v. 12). Manasseh
had the good sense to cry out to God
in tills condition. It Is the unmistak
able evidence that God's chastisement
ts accomplishing Its purpose. We are
Instructed In Jaine 5 :13 In time of af
fliction to prny.
8. Humility (v. 12). This Is a com
mon characteristic of penitent souls.
Those who come under the hand of
God always recognize It In their hum
ble walk.
4. Forgiveness (v. 13). As soon as
Ood sees the signs of penitence, be
turns In mercy to the peultent and
grants absolution for sin. No one
needs to wait long to receive his for
giveness. 5. His kingdom restored (v, 13).
Manasseh not only was forgiven, but
he was actually restored to his king
dom. Those who truly repent God
will not only forgive, but be will re
store (Psa. 82:3-5).
6. Apprehension of Ood (v. 13).
Through this experience Manasseh
came to know God. He not only came
to know God na the Jealous God, th
One who will not tolerate a rival, but
he came to know him as a Ood of
mercy. He came to know him In a
new way. Happy are those who sub

opens their hearts to receive the new
revelation of himself,' even though it
