POLTICS ATTRACTS WOMEN IN FRANCE Most Still Play~ Roles Quietly, ~ but Some Favor Active, Ouven Efforts. By the Assoctated Press. PARIS, December 27.—Frenchwom- en take a definite interest in the politics of their country, and some ob- servers say are more influential in the political world than any other women. “When I want to know what will happen next,” & British political leader says, “I talk to ome of the French wives.” But, withal, he insists, they play their zoles unobtrusively, prefer- ring to hide behind their husbands.

As sur- gical nurse she had been sworn at by doctors whose narves grew taut as piano wires during dangerous operation, and she had hnnzd to give as good as she received—wherefore the men of her world respected her and liked her for her courage and efficiency. “See to it that you're on hand in . | court tomorrow morning, Stevie, with a sweet line of scientific argument to attorne; a little later.

REVIEW: THE PATTERN OF CHRISTIAN GIVING. Devotional Reading Matthew, v.3-16. Golden Text—Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.—Philippians, i1.5. History is largely written around the lives of the leading personalities of a period. During the quarter our studies have, without exception, been bases upon the representative men and women of the New Testament. In our lessons we have covered the early days of Christianity and traced the influence of the two outstanding leaders in the development of the Apostolic era. We have seen how the principles and prac- tice of those days have influenced sub- sequent ages. We have noticed the way in which these ifdividuals have manifested the power of the Christ. ‘We have come to understand the move- ments and factors that have molded history. It is this fact that aids us in making our own life in accordance with the pattern of Christian living that our Lord furnished His followers. The study-of the careers and char- acter of these spirit-led disciples of the Master has inspired us to make our 1ives true reflectors of the Saviour. We have learned that He has a use for all kinds of individuals, so that the hum- hlm followers ought to be encouraged to give their all to the service of the Lord Jesus, because under the guidance of the Holy Spirit every soul will find & place of service and be used in the best possible way for the advancement of the Kingdom of God and the glory of Christ. Roots of Christianity. ry tree conceals beneath the soil | s h.ldden life that is duplicated in the trunk, limbs, branches and leaves which are visible above ground. Proph- ecy plays a similar part to the lfle of Christ and His Church. Centuries after the last prediction concernin~ the com- ing of the Messiah had been spoken by the prophets to encourage Israel with hope, when they were passing through w:‘:ok mm tgllm:e ffl\l!l'ld hnw God people. The aged Zacharias, while serving at the altar within the temple, was given a revelation that indicated that the fullness of time had come. Luke linked up the events of his gospel, so that we saw how God was ruling over the af- fairs of men and allowing them to turn the hands on the clock of time for the Messiah’s birth. Zac! and Eliza- beth were worthy descendants of Abijah and Aaron. They were devoted to one another, but their home appeared empty without an heir. The promise -given to these earnest observers of the cere- monhl h' and the commandments them prepared to receive and ll“ln the forerunrfer of the Christ. In due time the promised son appeared and their greatest opportunity ‘in home building started. Mary, the blessed mother of our Lord and Saviour, furnished us an oppor- tunity to learn something of her nsble character and personality. The world's greatest honor was bestowed upon her. He studied how she received confirma- tion of the angel's prediction and saw the fine example she has given to the mothers of all time in connection with the birth of the Christ. She was His first teacher. Prom His mother’s lips Jesus learned the fundamentals of His religious life. She taught Him to pray. She opened up to Him the message of prophecy that both Simeon and Anns, aged but al believers in the nation's hope, saw fulfilled in Him. They were looking for His coming, and aiscovered Him in the' Babe being carried into the temple to meet the requirem of their religlous ritual. While they recognized the Child as the Msslnh they warned Mary of what she would be called upon to suffer. While we ents hear but little of her after Psntecost | good in the New Testament, we must not forget the place she filled in those early formative days. The Master's Friends. Omlfl,lnf the temperance lesson, we have studied the lives of men who en- | joyed close fellowship with the Lord Jesus in the next five lessons. We saw Peter’s developing faith. We observed how he grew from weakness to spirit- ual strength, so that the man who failed -Jesus denying Him three times became the leader in the early days of the history of Christendom. The same Lord, who transformed the wavering and vacillating disciple into the rock-like apostie, develo) Hl.u church and builds His kinga dpecple who have failed. Chfllt'u attitude woward Peter when He re- stored him upon the shores of Galilee ought to encourage all who have denied their Lord that He will give them an- other chance. In the experience of Thomas, the honest doubter, we saw another mem- ber of the apostolic college whose faith wavered. He had urged all the apostles to face death with the Lord | when He' returned to Bethany from Perea at the call of His friends, who sent word of Lazarus’ serious illness. When Christ died upon the cross, Thomas refused to accept the testi- mony of the other apostles and the woman. We saw how Jesus met his doubts and gave to Thomas an oppor- tunity to test the reality of His resur- rection. The apostie’s attitude of re- quiring facts that would stand an acid test investigation has revealed to us the solid foundations of our faith. Christ commanded the centurion who exhibited greater faith than had scen in all Israel and healed Y.he man’s slave, as a reward for the cen- turion’s faith in the power and au- thority of the Lord Jesus. His heart went out to the rich young ruler whose appeal to the Master for information concerning how he might earn eternal life brought forth the demand that he sell all that he had and give to the poor. The great Teacher touched the man’'s idol when He called upon him to put Christ ahead of riches and offered him a place in His ranks. Jesus loved him for his noble life and duply regrefted his failure to accept the Master's invitation. We cannot albw money to rule our life if we want to follow the Lord. Zaccheus had the proper attitude toward money after Christ had spent a night in the publican’s home. Missionary Service. Stephen, the Hellenistic leader, was chosen deacon when the young church faced the possibility of a great division over the problem of caring for the poor. He recognized the world mission of Christianity. He cham- swords with Saul of Tarsus. When the eloguent pleader for an expansion of the gospel into all the world died for his faith he won his greatest vic- | mi tory. Saul, who closely watched his death, was impressed by his prayers for those who differed with him. Al- though he tried to suppress his feelings by an aggressive persecution of the church, Saul had to surrender when he met Jesus and heard His voice. Henceforth he became the champion of Stephen's ideals. Timothy, one of his converts, became a great help to Saul in his'missionary work. missionary churches we saw in temperance lesson that we needed to use spiritual weapons to win the world for Christ. We start with self-control in all things. It is that spirit of good will that will bring to men throughout the world, as the angels sang when was born in Bethle- hem’s manger, which we studied in our Ienon for lut week The influence of Christia: training in the scudy of the BIh!e and the lpnuu- tion of the principles of Jesus fairs of today will bring an en of will and peace among all men and nations. our THE EVENING STORY One of the World’s Best Works Kit Carson’s Ride.

No, you wouldn’t think so to look at his eyes, but he is badger-blind, and it hap- pened this wise: We lay low in the grass on the broad plain levels,-old Revels and I, and my stolen brown bride. “Forty full miles if a foot to ride, M‘l full muu if & foot, and the devils f red Comanches are hot on the track 'lmn once they strike it.

Then he jerked at his steed and sprang to his feet and glanced swiftly around and then dropped, as if shot, with his ear to the ground—then again to his feet and to me, to my bride, while his eyes were like fire, his face like a shroud, his form like a king, and his beard like a cloud, and vulceeéoud and shrill as if blown from a reed: “Pull, pull in your lassos, and bridle to steed, and speed, if ever for life you would speed.
