* Tree* Grow on Rock*
Washington, Sept.—A strik-
ing feature of the great Zapata
Swamp of southern Cuba are
huge trees growing without
any visible signs of support.
This swamp includes an area
of limestone that is filled with
holes and covered with a \
riety of tropical trees.
Many kinds of trees are
found growing on this lime-
stone area, where not as much
as a single spoonful of soil
could be gathered from an
re. The trees make their
start in small pockets and holes
ia the limestone.
Searching for food, the roots
stray about over the surface of
the rock. They finally plunge
through holes to find susten-
ance in soil hidden deeply in
ed the lake on a side which
was not private.
If they had allowed their
feet to touch bottom, they
would have been guilty of tres-
passing. That was the deci-
sion of Judge Katzenback,
who freed the swimmers.

Marysville, Mo- Sept.—Tom
Lyle of ParaelL Mo., was once
the champion eater of the
world.
Twenty years ago, visiting
here, he consumed a gallon

then devoured a dozen
oranges.
Alas! On a recent visit Lyle
started on a gallon of ice
cream, but was able to con-
sume only three-fourths of the
container.
Horse Race
New York, September.
Vincent Scanu, 18, and Peter
Cangena, 19, decided sudden-
ly to celebrate with an old-
fashioned horse race.
The lads rented horses from
a livery stable and soon the
residents of a staid Brooklyn
street were astonished to see
two homes, galloping at full
tilt, “jockeys” riding them.
Never had such a thing been
seen before on a crowded city
street.
The boys were fined $5 each,
on the strength of an old ordi-
nance forbidding horse racing
on city streets. They were
caught by a policeman who
dashed after the horses and
men in a-modern taxicab.

International Sunday School Lesson for September 28
THE CHRISTIAN BASIS FOR TOTAL ABSTINENCE
1 Corinthians 8:1-13
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D., Associate General Secretary at the
World’s Sunday School Association
The quarterly temperance lesson has been a feature of the
International Uniform aeries for many yean. Its introduction
in the Sunday school was followed by the scientific temperance
instruction in the public schools in the various states of the
Union. The general purpose is to teach the basic fact that
alcohol is a poison and the effect that such t poison has on the
individual and society. The whole subject is a live one today,
not only in America, bu»throughout the world. In the United
States the study is especially pertinent as the wet aad dry iadue
has such a prominent place in the coming presidential election.
- A moral issue is much more than an individutl matter. Ev-
ery one exerts a far reaching influence, both conscious and un-
conscious. Paul had a case in hand when he wrote to the Cor-
inthians from Ephesus, during his third missionary journey.
Idol worship prevailed and any religion involves a sacrifice of
one kind or another. Animals were slain to propitiate the
various gods, and there were many of these so-called deities.
The priests of the various cults could eat only a very small por-
tion of the meat resalting from sach slaughter. Both the
economic and natural thing to do was to offer the meat for sale,
for there was nothing the matter with ft from the standpoint of
At once a serious and conscientious question was Taised in
the minds of both Jews and Christians. They must not in any
way partake of food which had first been offered to idols. Such
food might be on any table where they were a guest This
whole matter was an issue at the Council in Jerusalem and it
was mutually agreed between Jew and Gentile Christiana that
they would abstain from any use of such meats. This same
question kept arising as the Gospel was taken to any new terri-
tory where the identical conditions were local. The ease had
to be argued through each time and every group convinced that
they must give up things that may have been customary in the
old life because of the new implications, though no actual phy
ontinued. In eating such food thej
sical harm would result if continued. ..._____ _____
were surely relating themselves to the worship of idols.
The Corinthians were tcld that the question of personal
liberty should not decide the matter. They must face the effect
of their actions on others. Doing as they pleased would be-
come a “stumbling block to the weak.” *Many will net think
tilings through brut will permit the action of another to deter-
mine their course. Every life is an open book, which ia read
by others and their lives are influenced accordingly.
Without raising in any way the question of individual
rights Paul’reveals how eager he is to always render the utmost
help to others. It is essy to imagine the short man standing as
upright as possible and declaring aa. a working principle
'Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I wHl eat
no flesh evermore.”
In Paul’s case the meat which had been offered to an idol
was as nutritious as any other, but alcohol is always a poison.
This is the decision of science and not the statement of a me. e
opinion. .
