However, the great builders un- der Constatine and Justinian drew much of their inspiration from races subject to the domination of the Ro- man Empire, and it is reasonable to suppose that the development of the Byzantine stvic embraced and incor- porated most of the then existing themes of Jewish origin. The design of Temple Isaiah Isracl is typically By- zantine, but modified by contemporary influence and co-ordinated with the proper spirit and functioning of mod- ern Jewish synagogues. Its plan is in- fluenced by that of the temple at Essen on Ruhr, in Germany, one of the few meritorious examples of Jewish temple architecture. It is built of brick and limestone in imitation of the ancient handmade sun-baked brick, while the exterior of the cdome is designed in a simple treat- jment of flat tiles of a color to har- D.

This minaret, though of Mohammedan origin, is justified, inas- much as its esthetic meaning and its picturesqueness are preferable to the factory sort of stack too often associated with otherwise beautiful edifices. The interior of the dome and the arches are built according to Byzantine engineering principles, and are faced with tiles having sound-absorbing qual- ities. ‘These tiles curve down to the very balcony, thus adding to the ab- sorption area.

NINVITED, John Waye stepped into the room, as he had done on the day of his arrival at the monastery, took an armchair, crossed his knces, and leaning back, settled himself comfortably, took out his cigarette case and smiled at | the doctor. “And_why this sudden change of front, Simon? This threatened ces- sation of hospitality? This atitude almost of unfriendliness?” “Seen the paper?” snarled the doctor. “Oh, yes. 1 always see the papers. I have them with my morning tea, you know...Drink my tea, light a cigarette, and settle down for 10 minutes read while my bath is being got ready” and John Waye smiled round at the ring of hard, cruel faces of the men and women who watched him, intent, with angry eyes. “Took at here, you,” continued the doctor. “Suppose you cut out the funny stuff—before we do some thing a little against our interests. . .Since you've see the papers, you know the game's up.” “My game or yours, Stmon?” Dr. Charters, once again obviously exercising great and commendable restraint, replied: “Yours,” and added with slight self- “We are not ‘wanted' “You're not, Simon? Well, now how apt one is to misjudge people! I should have thought that was exactly what you were. And why do you think that?” “Obviously. Surely?...We don't | suppose that even you are going to lie up here, while an innocent man swings for what you did. Little as we like you, we do you that much credit.” “You flatter me, Simon.” _ “I hope not. I hope I don't misjudge ou.” “Well, sorry as I am to seem un- sad as I am to disappoint you—I am not going.” “Not golng to give yourself up? ...Youd let an innocent man swing for you?” ! “He's not swinging yet, anyway, Simon.’ “No, but he will—unless the poor devil has got & fool-proof alibi. The dicks must have pinched the first crook that answered the description in the letter you left on Spider Schlitz's body.” ‘A _low down, dirty trick,” growled Mr. James indignantly. “Sickenin’ swine,” murmured Nurse Jones, while the fingers of the matron’s right hand curled in the manner of the claws of a cat about to scratch. “Qh, I don't know,” observed Dr. MacAdoo tolerantly. “Quite legitimate, 1 think, so long as he owns up—as of course he will do—now that some one else is arrested. Quite a good trick for putting the police off the scent...” “Tastes differ,” sneered the doctor. “Not the sort of trick that appea to me.

D’you want us all to ...?" “Have it your own way,” growled Mr. James. . . . “Bump him ofi, and done With it, T say.” John Waye smiled at the doctor, and nodded in complacent confirmation. “Yes, the description, name, and probable address, of an actual man,” he said shamelessly.

Golden Text.—There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.— Luke, xv.10. Christ's ministry was rapidly draw- ing to a close. He had many clashes with the Pharisces, who were horrified by His associating with publicans and sinners. Jesus justified His attitude to: ward these classes by a serles of para- bles which teach with a powerful and tender persuasiveness the Father's thoughts of the lost. The Master by these parables of the lost sheep, Cain and Son did more than justify His efforts to help bring the publicans and sinners back to God, for He censured and condemned their attitude as being antagonistic to the program and heart of Jehovah, who bad sent Jesus “to seek and to save that which was lost.” These three parables teach that God rejoices over the repentance of any soul, without regard to the depths of their depravity. Among all the parables spoken by the Lord the one commonly called *“The Prodigal Son” is recognized by all stu- dents of the words of the Christ to be His masterpiece. The Prince of story- tellers tells us in His own picturesque and dramatic way the motives and movements of man’s sin and the salva- tion God has provided. Man may be, as science has pointed out, only of very small and insignificant importance; nevertheless Jesus insists that every soul, even the sinful one, is of vast im- portance in the thought and heart of our Heavenly Father. The Master starts with a man in a home of purity, plenty and peace and traces the result of sin entering his life and the result of sal- vation coming to him when he was ruined and lost. He traces the whole circle of theology along the lines of a | sinner’s descent and the ascent of the soul returning to God. He pictures the | sinner's ‘“restlessness, reliance on self, renunciation, reveling, rejection and ruin.” He then paints his upward ea- reer through ‘“reflection, remorse, re- pentance, resolution, return, restoration or redemption.” The parable illustrates Lf:)elead of sin and the path of salva- The Road of Sin. This matchless story is true to life In every age. Sin starts in the restlessness of a reckless and dissatisfied son in a nome, where he chafed under its re- quested that his father give him the share of property that would be his when the estate was divided. There were two brothers in the home, and the elder was entitled to two-thirds and the younger son had a right to a third upon the father's death., He had no complaint that he could make or legal right to receive it at that moment. He was restless and felt that he could make more and enjoy a larger freedom away from the home circle. He had confi- gf:ni:unm lkrn:‘o}:m powers and reliance sel e could get the father’s household. SEvENNY Tro ‘When he was given his share the evi- dence of sin manifested itself. The first step in the path of sin is usually seen when one throws off the restraints of home, church and soclety. Not many days after he had received his third the young man left his home, where he had the benefits of his father’s protec- tion and wisdom and the bless! of his country's high ideals and religious life. As soon as the restraints were removed he started on a career that completely renunciated his old home and religious instruction. He scattered his money in a profligate way, wasting his funds in a dissolute and disorderly manner, living for the moment, with- out regard to the future. School Lesson By ugh T. Stevenson. He was brought face to face with mighty famine that made it ible for the prodigal youth to ob- . He had spent all and re- jected the helpfulness of his father’s home by quitting his old home. Under the pressure of poverty he became & servant of a desplsed allen, who i:ve him a job to feed swine. His earnings in that despised work were not suffi- clent for him to obtain the food he desired. In his hunger many times he desired to eat the swine's food. No helping hand was extended to him. The gay companions who had enjoyed his wine and gay parties had no interest in the ragged swineherd. His sin had brought him, as all sin will bring us, to ruin. The depths of his depravity filled him with despair and despond- ency over his condition. He had vir- tually through his desire for liberty been brought to siavery. It was due to his recognition of what he had lost through his folly and sinful use of his posses- slons that “he came to himself.” The Way of Life. Reflecting upon his condition filled the prodigal with remorse as he re- called the conditions in his father's home, where the servants were better Off than he was. He saw his mistakes and determined to return home, ac- knowledg® his iniquity and seek a place as a servant; for he considered that he was no longer worthy to be called a son by his father. In this picture of the prodigal's mental life one sees the development of his repentance. There was an awakening of his “conscience, of understanding, of sensibility and of the will.” Home looked different now than when he chafed under its restraints His thoughts of his father made him certain that he would have food and happiness if he would return, confess his sin and acknowledge that he was no longer worthy to be considered and treated as his son. ‘True repentance is matked by a quit- ting of former sinful acts and seeking of a new relationship with God. soul was stirred by remorse over his * A9 PRESBYTERY PLANS TWO-DAY MEETING Sixty-First Stated Spring Session to Be Held Here Monday and Tuesday. ‘The sixty-first stated Spring meeting of the Presbytery of Washington City will be held Monday and Tuesday at the Sh Presbyterian Church, Twenty-second street and Rhode Is- land avenue northeast.

PASTOR WILL DELIVER PRODIGAL SON SERIES % | Dr. Chesteen Smith to Preach Ser- mons at Hamline Methodist sins and filled with the urge to return home. He started back a changed man, full of humility and self-condemnation. His faith in father was seen in his return and determination to confess his sin, whether he was welcomed or not. He returned in a humble spirit, ready to_take a lowly place as a slave. The Master has encouraged many a sin-sick soul to return to the source of grace and mercy by his picture of how the father recognized his prodigal son when he was a great way off, in spite of his rags. He did not stop with merely seeing him, for he hastened to meet him and “fell upon his neck and kissed him.” In spite of his wayward life, the prodigal was the father's son and he longed for him to return. Freed from his affectionate father's embrace, the prodigal son confessed his sin and asked for the place of a servant in the home. While he may have deserved no higher place, his father forgave the prodigal because he loved him. The father proved the complete for- glveness by ordering four things for his son—a new robe, a signet ring, sandals, and a feast. His son must have on a robe of righteousness and not of sin. The ring re-established him in the home, for it gave him authority to act in his father's name. The fact that he ordered shoes or sandals for his feet rev-dlLthut l':lh‘ Was not welcomed as a servant, for they never wore anything uj their feet, but as a son. The de- cision to make a feast showed the father's joy over the return of the lost son. It meant a glad some-coming and welcome from the father, just as every sinner is assured of joy in Heaven over his return. There is a sad side to the parable in the action of the elder son, which the Pharisees recognized was picture of their attitude towsrd “pub- licans and sinners” with whom Christ asgociated in an effort to save them.
