PREVIEW After the passover, Jesus hav ing attracted much attention, goes with ht diciples to the Jordan, where be nls some time preach ing. The crowds follow Jesus. John is not jealous, but openly declares that Jesus must increase and his influence decrease. Jesus leaving this section rocs north ward to Galilee. The later lesson will show u4 thit Galilca was a fruitful field. THE STORY Jesus U traveling with his dis ciples, passing through Samaria, and the day is tiresome. The disciples go into the little town to purchase food. Worn and weary, Jesus rests at the side of the well. A woman, with a past, with a sin ful life com his waj She is the opport inity. Jesus nerer mivM s an opportunity to tell the story of Life. Tlie woman is sur prise!, a man and a Jew is willing to, not onlj" speak to her, but en ters into conversation. At the first, he is incline! to be bold and tlippant in her manner. She does not grasp the meaning of the truth. Then it comes to her that this U not an ordinary man. neither is he an ordinary Rabbi. He makes her realize that he is dealing with the things of the sou!. Jesus teaches her. It is a school with one scholsr. The teacher is wi in his approach, using the familiar illustration and yet impresses a most , important lesson. Hr soul is awakened. "Sir. give me this water. The mjuest comes from a touched rwart. Yet she doe. not grasp all th mean in?. (ifing on, the Teacher unfolds the great truth. He tells her that he is the Mes sias. Quickly does the scholar run and bring others. "Come: see a man. ... Is not this the Christ! The result is a great revival in the little town. ILLUSTRATIVE Observe the personal effort of Christ. Using the moment of rest to rvach the lost woman. When you arts tired, hungry, thirsty, f tint, remember that this man who was "wearied with his jtjurney, and thirsty too, knows how you feel and yet he had time and inclination to help another. Worship must be spiritual rather than formal. It must be sincere, the fruit of love, and from tlie heart. Forms and rites are valuable only as they aid the spirit in its worship. It is not nece.srj- to renounce all forms, bnt rath-r till the forms with the true spirit.

In this connection I heard a good No efforts at teaching can be made to serve useful purpose which does not make the lesson plain. With this end in "view no knowledge should be taken for granted. The safe basis on which to work is that nothing of conse quence is definitely known. The teacher is a sower of seed. Tlie wayside, the stony ground, the good soil are all within his field. He often thinks much of his sowing is futile but he must not withold his hand or spare the seed. Sow in faith believing, leav ing the result in the largest and broadest sense to the Lord of the harvest. Tlie teacher may or he may not reap. Happy is the teacher, though, if he is permitted to come rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him The teacher with the lesson for this day has a twc-fold message. A message of eternal life for each pupil. An appeal to each pupil to go and tell another. Each pu pil a missionary for the school. Each pupil a worker for Christ. Press each truth home to each pupil.

TEACHING HINTS No pupil is cfiiciently taught who is not taught with a view to 'story of Philip I). Armour and a what lie as an individual is. Pupils j young man who had just began differ as plants differ, as flowers! work for him. When on the first differ. One is a hot-house pro-1 morning the young man reached duct. Another has been toughened the oflice at 9 o'clock, he found by the storm. Study the pupil, his employer already there at work. Ine next morning at o.O, and the following morning at 8 o'clock it was the same. At last, determined for once to be there first, the new clerk was on hand at 7 o'clock. When he walked into the oflice, Mr. Armour looked up from his desk and grimly in quired: Young man, where do you spend your forenoons?' liusiness hours are not usually so long as Mr. Armour made them, but whatever they arc the3' should be rightly observed. Five or ten minutes in the monring, trivial as it may be itself, is a pretty sure indication of the de gree of promptness you will show in more important matters. "I know of no investment more certain to pay Jarge dividends than courtesy," said a sucessful business man the other day, and he spoke tlie truth. In the nerve racking, endless rush of affairs there is nothing which leaves a stiongcr impression than a pleas ant word or a kind act, especially if it be something most men over look. Business courtesy is large ly a matter of habit and is one of the habits we can afford to culti vate. In the army and navy loyalty is an essentail for success and it is no less so in the business world. En thusiasm and loyalty go hand in hand; a man cannot succeed un less he has an employer to whom he is loyal. "There are many brighter men than he in the ser vice, but he stuck to them through thick and thin and they appreciate it." The frequency with which men tell me this as a reason for cucces3 is - significant. It shows that the man of the hour is the faithful man. the man who nuke? his employer's interest his own and whoso loyalty never waversr Associated more or less with all these requisites and overshadowing them all is hard work. "For this," said President James J. Hill of the Great Northern Rail road Co., '"there is no substitute." You many be lacking in ability, personality or some other way and still succeed; but if you have not the capaity for hard work jou are doomed to failure. Studv the lives of creat men and you will see in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, their achievements are due to the pos session of this capacity. William E. Corey, tho new. president of the United States Steel Corpora tion, attributes his first success to 'not being afraid to do $2 worth of work for $1." When a laborer he wheeled so. much more iron than the other workmen that he was soon made foreman over them. Tho words "hard work" come nearer to holding tho key tossuc cess than volumes of ad rice.

Some people like to talk about the good times fifty years ago when as they say. the crospel tures which stand out prominently was preached and the country was aottea witn oarrooms at every cross-road and in many branch valleys, whilo on the sideboards and mantels' reposed the decanters. These all resulted in no good but in many sad cases, we see the awful fruit they bore. Todaj' the with all respect to those early followers and preachers of the Gospel, it is preached with more intelligence than then. Now we see on the sideboards instead of these decan ters, the little savings banks which will mark the beginning of an era favorable report when this is done If money is secured, construction will begin very soon and the road pushed to completion. Adverse legislation, the panic and litiga tion have combined to hold up this road, but now the outlook is brighter than ever, and all that country to be taversed by the Southbound will look forward with deep interest to a beginning of real work.

Reporting the Cotton Growers' convention at Charlotte last week, a correspondent to the News and Observer says the following of Mr. F. II. Hyatt of Columbia, S. C. foimerly of Burnsville town ship: ... Mr. Hyatt, who is owner of a skyscraper and the founder of a girl's school with 300 students, be sides farming extensively and hav ing large real estate holdings, was a roie across a pulling mule's back in Anson county not less than a score of years ago. Today he is recogniz ed as one of the leading men of his State and possessed of unusual business sagacity. Mr. Hyatt holds that the great est need of the South is to educate the farmer to a sense of his free dom and of the stupendous mono ply in cotton, " which is his by rights and which he should seize and control. ' The Buyer Should Be as Guilty as the Seller. (Willminfjton Messenger.) That is a lame excuse of those legislators who oppose making the man who buys liquor from one selling it illegally as guilty as the one who makes the illegal sale. According to Chief Justice Clark's reasoning in his dissenting opin ion in the Southern railway in dictment in Wake county the buyer is as guilty at common law as is the seller and it does not take an act of the legislature to make him so.' He is aiding and abetting the man who commits the disdemcanor and is therefore, equally as guilty at common law. In the railway case the statute de clared that the railroad should be liable only to a penalty to be sued for; still it was gravely contended that notwithstanding such statute the railroad was a party to the other person and was therefore liable to indictment at commonlaw. Aren't the two cases anologous? In the case of illegal sale of liquor can't the solicitor indict either party he chooses and make a witness of the other and save the latter from harm by granting him immunity from prosecution. This is often done in other cases of crime when the testimony- of a party to the criminal act is needed to convict others. Snccess.

When I lirst started to practice law a country publisher came to me in a peck of trouble to defend him against a threatened libel suit growing out of faulty punctuation. He had not meant to give some innocent young women the sligh test offence when he wrote a story about two young men who went with their girls to attend a lecture and after they left, the girls got drunk." Putting that miserable little comma out of its right place did the work, as it made the girls the ones who became inebriated in stead of their escorts. I managed by proper diplomacy and the publica tion of a neat apology to stave off the damage suit, and afterward my editorial friend became ah ex pert on punctuation.
