CANNED HEAT
Sometime Friday night a victim of canned heat, taken
internally instead of being used to cook with, was left un-
conscious near the city pest house. Saturday officers were no-
tified early and brought an unconscious man, writhing from
the effects of poison and in a critical condition, to the city
jail where he is being treated.
Since the advent of prohibition many substitutions have
been found for intoxicants by those who insist that being lin-
ger the influence of liquor is essential. Canned heat is one of
these substitutes and it seems to form a habit which nothing
but more canned heat can satisfy. After a while an adict is
eaten up with the poison and becomes little short of a ter-
rible dope feind.
In a community such as we have here, there is little ne-
cessity for importing a fuel in cans. Camping, the pastime
which calls for use of canned heat in the purpose for which
it was- intended, is uncommon and even then there is enough
vegitation in this community to build fires with. In homes
there is gas in practically all places and much more than
is being used escaping daily. It would hardly seem logical
that canned heat would be a necessary commodity demanded
in a sufficient quantity to permit merchants to handle it. Tho
reason it is sold is doubtless to satify the demand of these
unfortunate adicts.
There might be an ordinance passed against the sale of
canned heat in Borger and a penalty heavy enough to induce
merchants that this poison should not be peddled for drinking
purposes might be assessed. Merchants who have heretofore
perhaps never realized that they were indirectly responsible!
for the condition of the man who has about an even chance
to live or to die at the city jail today, might think twice be-
fore they place another order for this deplorable poison.
IRON SLAVES
Modern civilization, primarily economic, is measured by
the mechanical energy it uses. Statisticians of the Inferior De-
partment give some amazing figures of the power utilized in
this country. In the year 1923 our power-generating equip-
ment, including every source of useful energy except pleasure
automobiles, was 230,000,000 horsepower.
Including automobiles, it reached the immense total of
684,000,000 horsepower. Today the total is much higher.
So we are using, just to ride around in motor cars, twice
as much horsepower as is used in industry, agriculture and
rail and water transportation.
What does this mean in terms of human service? If we
merely had human slaves instead of iron slaves, we would
have been employing, away back five years ago, 60 able-bod-
ied slaves.for every man, woman and child of us—nearly 300
slaves per family.
This is a fortunate age. "Civilization," says a philoso-
pher, "has always been based on slavery." We have more
slaves than any previous society or nation that ever lived.
They are slaves that serve, but do not suffer.
MOUTAIN MONUMENTS
The unveiling of the giant bas-relief of Gen. Lee on
Stone Mountain, near Atlanta, marks the beginning of a new
era of sculpture. Several projects in imitation of this Gargan-
tuan feat are already urged, or under way, in other parts of
the country. Mountain after mountain may take on the fea-
tures of national or sectional heroes or commemorate histori-
cal events.
In former times such work might have been impossible.
Now we have the machinery and power, in addition to the
artistic urge and skill. Looking upon such monuments in dis-
tant ages, when our race shall have been run, the beholders
will certainly think "there were giants in those days."
There are men mountainous enough, in character and
achievement, to deserve a mountain for a monument. It is
just as well, though, to go a little slow in such matters. Peo-
ple are seldom good judges of contemporary greatness. Per-
haps a good rule would be not to attempt any monumental
tribute of this kind until the man has been dead for half a
century.

Introduction
At thi3 "point Mark omits much
which is recorded by Luke and John,
including Christ's visit to Jerusalem
at the Feast of Tabernacles when he
opened the eyes of a man born blind,
the sending out of the seventy mis-
sionaries, a second visit to Jerusalem
at the Feast of dedication, a tour in
Peraea, the raising of Lazarus from
'.he dead, the determination of the
Sanhodrin to put Christ to death,
and his retirement northward into
Samaria. After he had remained
Quiet in that region for a few weeks,
he set out on his final journey to
Jerusalem, not traveling directly
south, but traversing Peraea, the
country east of the Jordan. It was
there that our lesson took place, as
the Saviour was teaching the crowds
that flocked to him.
Is Divorce Ever Right ? v 2
"Is it lawful for a man to put
away his wife?" The Pharisees had
criticised Christ on many occasions
and openly, but here they are adopt-
ing new tactics, and seeking to em-
broil him with one of the two schools
of Jewish theologians which were at
variance on this point, those of Hil-
lel and Shamai, the former holding j
that a man could divorce his wife
for any dislike, and the latter that
he could divorce her only for un-
faithfulness. Already in the sermon
on the Mount (Matt. 5:31, 32)
Christ had sided with the second
party, and perhaps the questioners
knew of this stand, and merely
sought greater publicity for it in or-
der to add to the number of his foes.
Herod Antipas, in whose territory
Christ was at the time, was a noted
adulterer, and the Pharisees probab-
ly wished to make Christ come out
openly as an accuser of him.
Marriage Supreme Obligation. 7-8.
"For this cause shall a man leave
his father and mother." The 'cause'
is this relation between man and
woman ordained by God. This rela-
tion between husband and wife pre-
cedes and makes possible fatherhood
and motherhood; because it stands
back of these sacred relations, it is
even more sacred than they, and is
to be regarded before one's filial
duties, though not at all to the ne-
glect of them. Fathers and mothers
would be the first thus to instruct
their children. "And sahll cleave to
his wife." This is the essential thing;
the leaving of father and mother is
to be only so far as is necessary in
order to give due affection and care
to one's wife and children. This is to
be no mere duty—doing but is to
be a cleaving, that is. a warm, lov-
ing union, of heart and life. That
is the true marriage, of which the
ffee-and-easy divorces so common
today and in our country make hor-
rid mockery.
Marriage I'ntil Death Do you Part
"What thereforth God hath join-
ed together, let not man put asund
er. These Solemn words come to
us from God the Father, and from
Christ the Son. They are suitable
made the climax of the marriage
service. They fix the perpetuity
of wedlock, and establish the per-
manence of the family. The litis
band and wife may be parted by
by the sins of either party, by the
insidious vileness of a wicked man
fir woman. Whoever is responsi-
ble for the breaking of the secred
relation has upon him from that
time the communitation of I he Most
High.
Christ's position regarding di-
vorce was in absolute harmony with
the spirit of the law, but took such
extreme ground when contrasted
with the careless practice of the
times, and seemed so contrary to
the teachings of emient Jewish
religious about the matter. His
reply was an even more positive
statement that divorees of wife
from husband or of husband from
wife( except,—as a comparison of
Gosplo shows, and also a careful
reading of this eontire passage in
Mark,—tor the one cause of infi-
delty) amounts to adultery, and
should be so regarded by men as
it is undoubtedly so regarded by
God.
( hilflren In The Homc.__vs. I ft-Hi
Apparently the Master was still
in the house talking with his dis
ciples (verselO) when the little
childre were brought to him. Not
long beefor, in Capernaum, Christ
had rebuked his disciples' content-
ion over the place of honor by tak-
ing a Iitflechild in his arms and
telling the ambitious and quarrell-
ing men that whoever should re-
ceive one cuch child in his name
would thereby receive Christ, and
with Christ would receive the Fa-
ther. The desclples should cer
tainly have remembered that love-
ly scene, but they seem not to have
done so.
Children Brought to Ocsus. v. 18.
"And they were bringing unto
him little children, that he should
touch them." Probably the child-
ren were brought by their parents,
and the parents were disciples of
Jesus. No true Christian but de-
sires earnestly to bring his child
ren to the Savious. We cannot
bring the boys and girls liteerly
to Christ, but we can do so in a
very real way, as truly as these
old-time parents did it. Matt.l!):-
13 tells us that the request was
not. only that Christ should lay his
hands on the children, but that he
should prey for them; indeed, the
first was the only a symbol of the
second. Christ's touch was a token j
ot the itnparting of his spirit to
the children, and the blessing that
went with it.
Child Likeness. v. IB— —
"W1108680^^ shall notreceive
the kingdom of God as a little
child, he shall in no wise enter j
therein." Christ and his kingdom
are to be received trustingly, or1
not at all. The one great essentia! j
of childhood which men and women
are to receive in becoming Chris- j
tians is trustfulneess- "The age j
of childhood is, above everything '
else, the age of trust. Dependant j
upon its elders for everything, the j
whole nature of the .child is key
ed to trust; on trust it lives, and
by means oftrust it finds all its
means of existance. There is no
picture of perfett and simple and
implicit trust discoverable in al!
the world comparable to the pic-
ture of the infant lying peacefully
and serenely on its mother's bo
som." Thus we are to go to Christ
and receive from him salvation and
eternal life, doing nothing but re-
ceive and trusting him for all the
reest.
Christ Rewards Parental Paithful-
"And he ttook them in his arms,
and blessed them, laying his hands
upon them." Christ was ask only
tolay his hands upon them; but.
as always, he did more than he
was ask to do, he took them up
in his arms, one after the other,
and gave each of the dear little
ones a loving enbrace as well as
his blessing. This is one of the
sweetest pictures in all the Sible.
They brought the childrn to
Jesus, not that they should touch
him, but that he should touch
them. Parents bring your child-,
ren to Jesus.

Special Lesson
1. "The greatest business of
any generation of people is the
education of its children. Before
this all other enterprises and ob-
ligations must givo way, no matter
what their importance. It is at
this point that civiliation succeeds
or failn."
2. "Christianity is essentially a
religion of ideal family life. II
hopes to solve the world's ills, not
by externa! regulation, but by
bringing all men into a new family
life.
3. "So soon as our children be-
come of years capable of under-
standing the things of God, we
endeavor to bring them to Christ
by teaching them the truth. Hence
our Sabbath schools, hence the use
ol' the Bible, and family prayer,
•and catechizing at home. Any
who shall say. 'Do not teach your
children: they will be converted
in God's own time, if it be his pur-
pose; therefore leave them to run
wild in the streets,' will certainly
both 'sin against the ehild't and
the Lord Jesus. We might as well
say, 'If that piece of ground is to
gro wa harvest, it will do so if it
be God's good pleasure; therefore
leave it, and let the weeds spring
tin and cover it: do not endeavor
for a moment to kill the weeds, or
w the good seed!"
C. H. Spurgeon.

SOMEONE has said that a rich man has more fun
keeping a budget than a man of moderate means. Be-
cause the money he saves is tangible, he can see it and
invest it, and put it to work. Be that as it may, a budget
is an invaluable help to anyone.
A budget helps you keep the right proportions be-
tween expenses, prevents you from spending more than
is best for food and rent, or crimping more than you
should on entertainment and luxury. But a budget is
not a reason for getting cheap things, things in which
you forfeit quality by attempting to save on price, A
budget says to you: "Here is the amount of money you
should spend for this. Spend all of it, but don't spend
more." And it is up to you to get the best that can be
got for that amount.
The person who spends his money wisely, who likes
to get the utmost for it, always finds out from adver-
tisements how he can spend it to the best advantage.
It is surprising how much more wisely you can buy
if you make it a habit to read advertising. A little
more value here ... a little better workmanship there
... in this thing slightly more durability . . . that pro-
duct perhaps a bit finer. And every cent of money
you spend for advertised merchandise will bring you
greater comfort, a higher quality of goods, and a
standard of excellence that is nationally recognized.
It certainly pays to read the advertisements
