We believe in the edu cation of the masses but long ago wc were convinced that in nearly every high school or college was a a a a a t a lot of "rowdies" who have no business there. It might be that these would be eligible to student- hip if they were put through a lich ricid course of hard work for a few years, but just as they are, in the rough, they are away out of their places. School is do ing mem ausouueiy no goou uuMcnoiUjh; it is time to call stones in tney become worse ior naving so . a 1 much idle time on tneir nanus a 1 1 which they must manage to pass off somehow and the devil usually rets his work done resrardless of the average teacher's claims. If you would look for the nur serv of these hazers who "make their mark in the world," you will first trace them to the high school. There you will find your embryo hazer, a kind of "bull o'thc wood" who is tho terror instead of the kind companion for the small boy a and who keens the teacher in a nervous frenzv wondering where he is going to begin next. When he begins to feel that the terror of 1 a 1 t him is waning, no lawes soraew the small fellows aside to show them that he is armed and there exhibits his pocket gun. Yes sir, no small potato is your future hazer. When he finds himself in the building all alone or with some of his cowardly companions, you will know that he has been there bv the appearance of the walls which have recently been treated to a coat of ink here and there. Tlicnyou will see the electric light j bulbs broken and window panes smashed. In a few minutes he and his cowardly followers, will destroy more property than could bo re placed by the gross income from all the past labors of the entire bunch. If you are somewhat in doubt as to the identity of your supposed hazer, a good way is to examice the two front fingers of either hand where you generally find the' yellow stain of the cigarette. This is his constant companion. You will notice him always on tho back seat of an au dience and just before the ser vices end you will see him rolling his cigarette which is immediately lighted when he steps outside; in time to befoul the atmosphere trliirh those coming from a L "unr , y aZZoZ to find pure.

Gold en Text. 4Himself took our in fi rmi ties and bare our sickness." Matt. 8:17. Place. Pool of Beth esda, Jerusalm. Time, April 28 A. D. PREVIEW From Cana Jesus goes to Naza reth where he is rejected by the people of his own town; so he re moves his home to Capernaum, and calls his disciples about him. He next makes a tour of Galilee, taking his diciples with him, heal ing and teaching the people and returning frequently to Caperna um. The crowds follow him. This Galilean ministry is only recorded by the Synoptics. It is probably three or four months since the healing of the Noble man's son, as recorded in our last lesson, that Jesus makes this visit to Jerusalem ,of which we are told by John. THE STORY Near the sheep gate of the City there is a pool, called the pool of Bethesda. Tradition tells that the sick who first entered the wa ter of the pool after it was trou bled by the coming of an angel was immediately healed. All about the pool lay the suffering as the great Master, that morning stood and looked. One man from his birth, thirty eight years las suffered and IS Waiting Still a 11 ay ' t a hope of health and strength. Jesus notices him, knows of his long illness and waiting and almost hopeless watching. To him the Christ speaks, "Would'st thou be made whole!" The reply comes quickly, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me." Immediately Jesus with the love and mercy always shown the hopeless and helpless speaks health and cure. Arise! Take up thy bed and and walk!" The weakened limbs receive strength and the once helpless but now happy man goes on his way to his home (Tarrying that bed which for so long has held him. The Pharisees immedi ately find fault with Jesus because of a fact that it was the Sabbath. They could not allow themselves to look upon Christ's merciful action in the light of humanity. Later, Jesus meeting the healed man in the Temple tells him to be careful of the future sin, lest a worse result come to him. The lesson closes with the beautiful words from Jesus, "My Father worketh even until now and I work.' Jesus working for hope less, helpless humanity. ILLUSTRATIVE "Bethesda's pool has lost its power! No'angel by his glad descent Dispenses that diviner dower Which with its healing waters went; But He, whose words surpassed its wave, -Is still omnipotent to save." Bernard Barton. These words "Impotent," "blind," "hault," "withered," very aptly describe the spiritual condition of the multitude which encompasses us every day. And they are "waiting." "Some" waiting" watching with curiosity those who are before them reach ing unto Christ. Some scientifi cally "waiting" and presuming to attempt to understand the vir ture of faith. Some proudly "waitng" not willing to acknow ledge their need. Some are hope lessly "waiting" like the poor wretch in the lesson, and feel un able to act alone and are ready for the helping hand. "Jesus saw him!" "He did not stand on the shore and wait Life nsurance ior uie moving tow mm .5Hfrorks than he, and it is truo that Carryong Is the duty of every man.

"A, mission worker speaking from Christ's question at the pool of Bethesda, 'Wilt thou bo made whole?' said earnestly, 'Kcmembcr, men, it is not -'patched;' but'mado whole.' This word resulted in several conversions. "The troubling of tho waters of the Bethesda Pool was an illus--tration of the healing that comes from the troubled pool of life.
