KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN Little Story of What an Observ- ant Boy Accomplished. . Ingenious Lad Invents Paper Box for His Mother to Take Medicine Without Any Confusion- Idea Soon Became Popular. A great many boys are always look ing forward to the time when they will grow up and be able to do something big, but they overlook the chances they have to do something worth while when they are still boys. Here is a little story of what an observant boy did: : It often happens that people have to take two different kinds of medicine alternately, and endless ways have been tried to remember which cornea next. Sometimes they take No. 1 at the odd hours and No. 2 at the even Box for Medicine Bottles. hours, and sometimes they put the spoon in the one to take next, or they place one to be taken In the morning in a different glass from' the one to be taken at night. . ' On ingenious boy who saw his moth er always forgetting which of the lit tie bottles of pills to take next noticed that there were two of the bottles in pasteboard box, lying side by side They each had a number on them, but there was no way to. be sure which number his mother had taken last. Then he had an idea. He pasted a little slip of paper on the cover xt the box and wrote his directions on it. As the little box inside slipped out of the cover it was easy to put the cork of one bottle toward one end and the cork of the other at the other end After taking a dose from bottle No. she just pushed the cork into the cover first, so that the cork of No. was toward the end with the arrow mark, and she always knew that was the one to take next. A druggist that saw this simple lit tle trick had labels printed for all his boxes, and it proved so popular with the doctors that used those medicines that they made the boy a present o a bicycle for his invention. if you keep your eyes open ana think about things you never know when "you" may hit upon some usefu thing like, this, which others-will pay you for.

Electricity Is the Secret. A novelty which affords much amusement is the magic box. It is 4x6x2 inches, made out of wood with a glass cover and lined with foil. The directions for operating i the box are as follows: Rub the pane ..of glass with the little leather cushion and the balls and paper men. will .begin at once to produce their : performance, jumping about in the most fantastic 1:- s Magic Box. T manner. The only thing "necessary is to keep the box and leather cushion clean and dry, which is done best by cleaning the pane, of glass before using, with a piece of dry cloth, says Popular Electricity. Static electricity is the secret of the odd movements.

Moody BibU Institute, Chicago TEXT I John. Chapter 4. According to the Bible, the teach ing of false doc trine is to charac terize - the last days. Jesus, Paul, Peter and John constantly teach this truth. The importance of this warning is en hanced when we consider that the issue at stake is the soul of man. The church la under obligation to test the teach ings and doctrines offered to her, for there always have been, and always will be, men who are desirous to utter any new fancy that seizes them, or to dispute any accepted doctrine of faith which they themselves are not willing to accept. There-is need of caution, therefore, against a too ready accept ance of any prophet or teacher. Sin cerity in a teacher is not sufficient; earnestness and fervor are no guaran tee of the truth of the message deliv ered ; perspiration is not inspiration, and it is not a sufficient ground of ac ceptance of a man to simply say, "He believes what he preaches." Fortunately, it is possible for the true Christian to make such discern ment. Paul, in 1 Cor. 12, and John, in his first epistle, second chapter, clear ly state this fact. It may be true that some Christians have the gift of the discernment of spirits in a special way; it is nevertheless true that all Christians may be able to discern the false from the true. Not only is such a test possible, but It is obligatory. A careful study of the seven letters in the book of Revela tion enforces this truth. In apostolic days false teachers "went out" from the church, but in these days they "stay in" the church when ofttimes they should be put out. We should be careful lest in our attempt to be hos pitable to all truth we entertain the devil unawares. In the chapter we are considering, the apostle tells us that the point to be proven about teachers Is, "Are they of God?' That means from whence is their message derived, from God or from the world. Satan is an imitator. He has a church (Rev. 2:9); a minis try (2 Cor. 11:1315); a membership (1 John 3:10); and gives power to work signs (2 Thess. 2:9). The proof that a man's teaching is divine in its origin is settled by his at titude towards Jesus Christ (4:2,6). hi all things he must hold to the Head (Col. 4:9K Names and sects and par ties fall; Jesus Christ is all in all. AH professing Christian teaching must be judged by its relation to Jesus Christ. . Belief in the Incarnation or Virgin birth is a sign that a man's teaching is from God (4:2,3; 5:1). There must be the belief -that the historical Jesua vis the anointed Savior of the world; this fact of history must be also a fact of faith? There can be no dodging this question: "Jesus is anathema" or else "Jesus is Lord." We may make all the progress in the doctrines of Christ pos sible, but we must ba careful that our progress is in the truth, and not away from the truth. There is an advance, even in the doctrine of Christ, which is not progress but apostasy (2 John 9). L The next point to be settled with re gard to Christ is the acceptance w his Deity (2:18-28; 4:5, 15, 16; 5:5, 20). True Christian doctrine acknowledges Jesus Christ not merely as Divine, but as Deity, and as such he is worshipped. The Babe in Bethlehem's manger was God manifest In the flesh. In him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead. That teaching is false which separates the Christ from Jesus. ."This is he that came by water and by blood" these words deny that teaching which states that some form of Deity came on Christ at his baptism and left him at the cross. Jesus Christ cannot be di vided; he is "the -same, yesterday, to day and forever." It is vital that a teacher from God be sound with regard to the nature o! the redemptive , work of Christ. Jobo is emphatic about this (compare 2:1.2; 3:5, 4:9,10,14; 5:6). Jesus Christ gave his life as a ransom for our sins; wfl are reconciled to God by the death o. his son; Jesus Christ Js the propitia tion for our sins; , he is the Savior d the world. All this means that Jesu Christ J;ook our. place and our sins up on himself, that .his death was in our stead. It is not enough to say tfaat Christ's death; exerted a moral influ ence upon mankind, or that it was a" example of self-sacrificing love, or even that God 'needed, by such a tragedy, to give the world an illustra tion of " his ; anger against sin. course, Christ's death is the supreme manifestation of God's love, and it does show his anger towards sin, but it goes further than that. It has a relation w the sin of man.
