■^VS/VWN/S/WWWWWVWWt/WWW
LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 9.
ABSTINENCE FOR OTHERS' 8AKE.
(World's Temparanoe Sunday.)
LESSON TEXT-Rom. MiT-tl.
Golden text—"it u not good to eat
flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do any-
thing whereby thy brother •tumbleth."
Rom. 14:11.
’ I Paul was In Corinth, a city of lux-
ury, learning and licentiousness when
he wrote this letter to the believers In
Rome, a letter of profound loglo and
ethlos as well as a profound study In
psychology and philosophy.
I. None of us llveth to himself,"
w. 7-11. Paul begins this chapter by
giving a oautlon as to doubtful dispu-
tations, “Judgments upon thoughts,”
whether It be In the matter of eating
herbs or meats, or In the observance
of set days. Who are we but fellow
servants (▼. 4) of God? About such
things as habit* and observance of
day* we must each be assured In our
own minds, (v. 8), but while that
true yet, "none llveth to himself'
(v. 7), for “we are the Lord'*” (▼. 8).
He Is the universal Lord, both of the
living and the dead, (v. 0). What folly,
therefore, for any believer to set him-
self up In Judgment upon his brother.
Four Things Suggested.
II. “Give an aooount to God," w.
18-18. Verse It suggests four things:
(1) A universal summons, “each on#
of us,” great and amall, obscure or fa-
mous, each one must appsar, none
overlooked, none excluded, none ex-
cused. (8) A particular summons,
“each one of us,” not en masse, but
as separate units. (8) A purposeful
summons, “to give account,” not of
others but each of himself. It will not
be “blind justloe” that shall await us
there, but a holy God, one who knows
all, sees all, every thought end Imagi-
nation of the human heart (Qen. 8:5)
and whose Judgment will be righteous.
(4) A rightful summons, because of Its
source, "before God.” and shall not the
Judge of the whole earth do rlghtT
No excuse because of the failure of
others will avail, no subterfuge be ac-
ceptable, “strict Justice” will condemn.
Man-made laws end ordinances aa to
what we sat or what days ws may ob-
serve will then be revealed !h the
white light of the God whose name la
love. In the light of such a prospect
how pertinent therefore that we turn
(v. 18), from Judging other* and look
well to our own conduct, ldfet that oon-
duct become a rook of stumbling to
other and weaker brethren.
Another Law.
III. “Follow after thing* whWi make
for paaoe." w. 1M8. To follow that
which shall edify la to exercise the
“law of liberty.” James la his opted#
(1:88,1; 18) tells us to JodkJato this
law and to ooatlnus therein tor by It
we aha* be Judged, yet than la still
another law, “the royal law” (8:1,
Matt. 88:88-40), the fulfilling of which
will settle every question of man's re-
lation to man. We should so use i
liberty that It be not evil spoken of
or become a rock of stumbling to any.
Whether or not the kingdom of God
to to ua, qr we in the kingdom, d<
pend* not upon the scrupulous observ-
ance of ordinances either a* to eat-
ing, or the observance of days, hut
rather In the manifest righteousness of
our lives and In having peace In our
hearts, ch. 16:18, being filled with “Joy
In the Holy Spirit" v. IT. Therefore,
If to eat meat shall osuse my brother
to stumble or to be made weak (v. 81)
“I will sat no flash tor evermore,”
I. Cor. 8:18.
All of this leads up to the true prin-
ciple of total abstinence aa revealed
In verse 81, “It la good not to eat
flesh, nor to drink wins, nor to do
anything whereby thy brother ■ tum-
bleth or la offended." This does not
alone apply to the Great American
Juggernaut, the commercialised liquor
traffle, which, according to the tutted
States Supreme court, bag no legal
ground upon which to stand. Whan
the members of the church of God
In this “land of liberty*' shall each
be governed by this principle It will
not be long before the liquor problem
any many other questions that are
troubling us will be settled. The real
question wUl not bs “Is It wrong 7”
but rather, “How will It affect my
brother 1“ All meats are clean,
know that, Acts 10:16, but we aleo
know that many oannot eat, cannot
participate in our acts, with a clear
conscience because In so taking part
there comes before the mind of the
weaker brother the evil associations
and practices which so frequently ao-
company such sots or such sail
Our indulgence, no matter how Inno-
cent and entirely harmless It may be
to us. Is therefore not to be thought
of. This settles the drink qusstloii,
the tobacco habit, dancing, card play-
ing, theater going, and all "queattoa-

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Millions of Dollars Wasted in
Complying With Useless
Legal Requirements.
Many criticism* hare been made
against the railroad* fo# abuses per-
mitted or practiced during the post
quarter of a century, and the man-
agement of railroad properties has
been largely taken from the owners
and given to commissions represent-
ing the government With the change
in control comes new forms of abuses,
bony of them as stupid and bur-
densome as those imposed upon us
under the old Rgime.
Mr. J. Krutschnitt, chairman cf
the Executive Committee of the
Southern Pacific in discussing this
subject said:
“The lawmakers and commission
have been imposing upon the rail-
ways numerous requirements which
have further increased their ex-
penses and often in ways that have
actually reduced the railway servants’
efficiency. The legislatures of many
states have decreed that additional
men shall be employed by the rail-
roads in excess of thier necessities,
whether viewed from the standpoint
of economical operation or of public
safety. As a result of this legisla-
tion, millions of dollars has been
wasted in hiring useless labor.
“Again, taws have been passed to
compel tho railways to use special
It lius taken He place as ouu ot the
established Institutions of the South,
him the No-Tsu-Oh celebration given
each year In Hounlon. This year the
dates are November 10 to 16.
The No-Tau-Oh Is now fifteen year#
old. It haa grown to huge proportions.
It Is spectacular, one of the moat spec-
tacular entertainments In the country,
and It le entertaining and Instructive.
The thing about this celebration that
appeals to the people ot the State,
and especially to those who reside
within three hundred miles of Hous-
ton, Is the feet that It la given each
year for their especial benefit and en-
tertainment.
It le not a money-making scheme,
not by any means. Aa a matter of
tact, tbe average Houeton merchant
might as well close hie doors during
No-Tsu-Oh week and give his sales
forces a vacation, for all the business
they ever do.
It la Houston’s method of entertain-
ing the people In her territory. Tbe
people of Houston feel that they owe a
great deal to the people of the tribu-
tary territory. And once each year
they Invite these people to become
their guests. Those who have attend-
'■nsi uuluUi'Ulloni 01 the kind lu
Houeton—and who le It within a radius
of 800 miles who has not 7—can testify
that Houston knows how to entertain
her guests.
It le a week of frolic and recreation.
Every man and woman In Houeton le
expected to entertain. Dull care Is
sent away and a good time Is enjoyed
tor a week.
Now, while It Is a frolic. It Is-clean.
There Is nothing that ever happens
at the No-Tsu-Oh that would cause a
refined, modest lady to blush, Bvery-
body, however, la expeotod to be
human and all are expected to sot as
real humans should act
And they do, when they go to the
Houston No-Tsu-Oh. They get out of
the old shell end shake themselves.
They laugh and make meny'and the
bloom ot youth come* beck to their
cfleeka. There la a real Ufe glow and
a real life spirit One does not
Just how human he tq, aor
all other humans ar« until they have
mingled together on the streete of

There are never any stranger* la

sand men and women and children

rade, whloh la Tuesday. November 11,

.This 1* something entirely new in

sidewalk dance. Elaborate prepara-
tions have been made for this feature.
The committee In charge of this has
