The young men care fully debated this problem, if (,e trees are not whitewashed the orchard will be ruined by insects, but If the white wash is appUcd the Insects will die of starvation and it Is wrong to destroy life. As the members of the colony are vegetarians and fruit Is therefore the prime article of food to them, ne cessity prevailed over ideals and the whitewashing was done. A second problem was solved much after the same reasoning. For many years the manager of the Tolstoy es tate has been Prime Oholinski, who occupied a building once used by the author as a peasants' school.

"The boy scout way has been a dif ferent way. All that energy and perseverance and courage that every proper kid displays as a matter of course in the current of his dully life has been turned to good account.

This lesson story proves KHJnh to have been a man of like passions as we are (.las. fi :17). 1. Elijah's Flight (vv. 1 111. 1'pon Almb's return from the excitement on Mount Carmel, he told Ids wife all that F.ll.liih bud done that even all her prophets bad been hewn to pieces by the sword. This so enraged her that she sent a message of death to F.llti.h. who seems to have been wait ing Ml the gate (vv. 1. "). This was clearly a bluff on Jezebel's part. Though Kll.lah had courageously stood before the king and the priests of lfaal, be now cowered before this woman and tied for Ids life, lie seems to have failed nt ids strongest point. 1. KHJah under the Juniper tree (vv. 3-7). The juniper tree was a shrub of the desert which afforded shit'or and protection to travelers from the burning sun by day and the cold wind by night. (1) His request (v. 4). Thl wns that he might die. This was, no doubt, a foolish thing for htm to say, hut let us be ns consid erate town it him as was Coiti. The discouragement, and even desponden cy, of KHJah wns due to the nervous strain of tihot.t four years of unusual service for find, which culminated on Mount Cnrchel. Such nervous re action Is to lie expected. (2) Cod's tender treatment (vv. R-7). (n) He pave him sleep (v. TO. "He giveth His beloved sleep" (Psa. 127:2). (b) lie sent nn anpel to cook Elijah's metil (vv. ft, 7). The angel of the Li-J is usually understood to he the sec ond member or" the Holy Trinity. If this be correct, then we see Jehovah- Jesus pri'iiaiing food for His servant Elijah, as He afterward did for His discouraged disciples by Galilee (John 21 :V.). Ood agnin gave him sleep, nnd at the proper time again gave him food. Though Elijah wanted to die, Ood had something better for him, for In n 'nrcr day He met him with the "chariot of the Lord" and took him to heaven untouched by death. 2. Elijah nt lloreb (vv. S-14). Cod had kind y ministered to His discour aged pfnphot so that lie would be in a fit condition to receive the needed instruction and correction. Elijah had erred In running away from bis Held of ministry. (1) ((oil's Interview with Elijah In the cave (vv. f). 10). (a) (bid's ques tion (v. ft). "What docst thou here, Elijah?" This was a stinging rebuke, though most kindly given. It implied that His appointed messenger was now far away from the field of duty. Elijah was not where (Jod wunted.him, but 1od sought him where he was. How blessed to know that "A' find forsaking saint Is not a (iod-forsaken sain! !" (b) Elijah's answer (v. 10). Elijah tried to vindicate himself by asserting bis Jealous loyalty to Cod that In spite of all this the people bad not only rejected bis message and dishonored Cod. but bad sought to destroy him. (2) Cod's Interview with Elijah on the Mount (vv. 11-11). While standing Itefore the Lord on the mount, Cod caused a mighty demonstration of wind, earthquake nnd fire to pass before hhu to show unto hint the nature of the work which lie had been doing for Cod, and to show him what was lacking In Ills work for the fullest atta'ntnent of success. Elijah bad about him much of the whirlwind, earthquake and tire. Ills wotk bad been terrifying nnd alarming, but It lacked In gentleness and love. This object lesson In the ways of Cod's working Is a needed message for this age, which Is so won derfully characterized hy noise nnd clamor. The world Is not "taken for Cliflst" by the fleshly energy and en thusiasm of conventions and commit tees, but by the quiet hearts who go forth proclaiming Cod's Word In the energy of the Holy Spirit. II. Elijah's Return (vv. 15 -IS). Though Elijah bad erred, Cud brought him again into His serv'ep. Ho.w comforling to know- that Coil does not reject His servants because of their failures in times of despon dency! He deals with them after the motive of their hearts. Elijah was nourished and Instructed by the Lord and then sent on a high mission. Cod Is a fine psychologist. He took Elijah otit of himself hy giving hltn a new commission. The most healing min istry Is Unit of wotk. Many bereaved ones have been lifted out of them selves by active ministry to others. Before Cod would come In His chariot to take Elijah home, lie set hltn upon a thseefold ministry : 1. To anoint Haznel king over Syria (v. I.".). 2. To anoint Jehu king over Israel (v. 10). 3. To anoint Ellsha as his own suc cessor In the Prophet's room (vv. 10-21). Make Requests Known Unto God. "In everything by prayer and sup plication let your requests be made known unto Cod." There Is absolute ly no restriction as to the kind of business that Is to bring us to the throne of grace, and so of course, there Is no excuse for keeping any kind of a burden to ourselves. It Is not only about what we call religious matters, or what we call Important matters, that we are permitted to go unto God. Whatever touches our lives is of con cern to our heavenly Father. y SUITS FOR LATE WINTER; KNICKERS AND PETTIBOCKERS 3 St'ltlN'i; has sveral things up its sleee in the way of innovation 4 and pleasant surprises in suits. We are promised that things "new and different" are to come within the range of the styles. C,ien three guess es, the fasbinn eiert will probably predict: many three-piece, iilotig with two piece suits, the introduction of in genious sleeves, contrast ir.g cloths In collars and cuffs, to replace fur or other winter trimmings and an ?mphasis on sport styles Including many suits with knickers and capes In (heir composition. The use of home- Premonition spuns, tweeds, Jersey clotli in these suits follows as a matter of course, Put sport suits are another story. There is a premonition of spring In the late winter suits shown In the Illustration In their outlines and cer tain details of their milking as In the treatment of the waistline, choice of material and general jauntlness of stylo. They might take a place among conservative spring models by the simple expedient of taking off their fur finishings nnd replacing them witli cloth. If one must have a suit or two for the period between seasons, cither of these will prove a safe choice. The Ulit at the left is of Poiret twill with fo fur In collar and cults and band of trim ming on the coat. The straight-line loose coat holds an assured place In spring styjes, so this suit is a good in vestment. The skirt Is provided with II deep hem and may be lengthened to the regulation eight Inches from the .liior. The youthful suit at the right, with New Styles Its flaring box coat, merely needs to replace Its fur collnr with a throw collar of cloth and to dispense with its poekels or to make them of cloth, to accomodate itself to spring weather and spring styles. Xow Is the time of year when It Is possible to get away from the winter of our discontent, even If we do not go farther than to the near est dry goods store on a shopping tour. In January and February the stores are full of new lingerie and the dainty materials of which It Is made. It Is an Inspiring display this season. Earrings. Most noteworthy among earrings are the drop effects. Somettmes these consist of a delicate chain supporting a single jewel while in other Instances they comprise several chains strung with small stones. Again they may be in the form of a large pendant or tassel made of dull filigree silver and devoid of stones. Mending Lacs. An old lace mender tells of this way t wend lace.

In materials, cotton fabrics remaia most important, beginning with fine batiste and nainsook. There is a lot of pink shown In these fabrics. Sotni use has been made of dimities, In fin stripes and of shadow striped batiste. In both white ami flesh tints. For heavier garments printed crepes are of Spring. chosen and for bloomers, knickers and pettihockers sateen is in strong de mand. Speaking of these bifurcated gar ments, knickers and pettihockers will receive at least as much attention as petticoats on the part of makers of lingerie They are made of the sunns materials as petticoats; the cotton ones of batiste and nainsook and tho silk ones of satins, crepe lie chine and glove silk. Ti.e two models pictured show how attractive these convenient j substitutes for petticoats are.
