THE CHRISTIAN'S HOPE
DKSSON TKXT—John 14 :1-S; II Cor.
1 John IS 2. 3.
PRIMARY TOPIC —Our Heavenly
Home.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Christ Preparing a
Home (or Christians.
INTERMtIDIATK AND SENIOR TOP-
IC—Our Heavenly Home.
YOUNG PKoPI-E AND ADULT TOP-
IC—Beauty and Power of tho Chris-
tian’s Hops.
I. Assurance of a Heavenly Home
(Jno. 14:1-3).
The announcement concerning the
death of Christ, accompanied with the
shaping of events which pointed to a
speedy accomplishment of the same,
shattered the disciples' hope. The
Lord told them that He was going
away and that they could not follow
Him. This brought great grief to
their hearts. They perhaps began to
doubt Ills Messlahship, but He did not
leave them comfortless.
1. He usked them to believe aud
trust In Himself as God (v. 1).
“Ye believe in God, believe also in
me.” Faith In the God-man, Christ
Jesus, will steady the heart, no mat-
ter how great the sorrow or Intense
the grief. If we will but place the
cares and burdens of life upon Him
our tears shull lie turned Into Joy and
our despondency transformed into a
radiant hope.
2. He assured them that He wns
going to prepare u place for them In
His Father’s house (v. 2). He assured
them that that place would have an
abundance of room, for there were
■"many mansions” In His Father’s
Louse. We should learn from this that
.heaven is not an imuginury place. It
is n prepared place for a prepared
people.
3. He assured them that He would
come again and escort them to lieuven
<v. 3).
Jesus will not wait for Ills own to
come to Him, but will personally come
hack to the earth and call forth from
the graves those who have died in the
faith (1 Thess. 4:16, 17), and trans-
form Jl.vlhg believers and take them
be with Himself in the heavenlj
Me for evermore. When He suld, “I
will come again,” He no doubt meant
His personal, bodily and literal return
to this earth.
II. Assurance of tha Resurrection of
ths Body (II Cor. 5:1-10). That which
nerved Paul for his conflict even when
physical death threatened was the as-
surance that even such violence would
but hasten his presence with the Lord.
As he faced the uncertain future he
was sure:
1. That his present body was only a
tabernacle, a tent in which he lived
temporarily (v. 1). Though this tent
were destroyed he had nothing to fenr.
as there was a building to take its
place. This house which is to take
the place of the tent is
(1) From God.
(2) Not made with hands.
(3) It is eternal.
Our natural body at best crumbles
to dust In about three score and ten
years, but the resurrection body shall
abide forever.
(4) It is to be “In the heavens.”
2. He earnestly longed tor the
change (vv. 2-4). The human person-
ality irifclnctively shrinks from a state
of disembodiment, but the Intelligent
Christian earnestly longs for the ex
change of the natural body for the
spiritual. We long to put off the per-
ishable and take on the Imperishable.
3. This plan was wrought by God
(v. 5).
God did not fashion the body for
death, but for life. God is not the God
of the dead but of the living.
4. Believers should be of good cour-
age (vv. C-S).
While we live in this body we are
absent from the Lord, but because of
the Holy Spirit dwelling within us.
we confidently walk by faith, being
more anxious to he absent from the
body and present with the Lord.
5. The believer’s chief concern In
■Ihis life should be to please the Lord
/<vv. 9. 10).
Nothing matters—health, sickness,
strength, weakness, fame or obscurity.
Ck-lends or loneliness—provided at the
mm] of the Journey we hear the Lord's
•“well done, good and faithful servant.”
III. Glorified With the Lord (I Jno
2:2, 3),
We are now God's children, but the
-change which awaits the resurrection
lias not come yet. When It comes It
will reveal our wonderful future.
When the Son of God shall be mani-
fest we shall he like Him In glory.
When Christ shall come again the
saints shall share His glory. This ::'n-
rto/ts hope will transform the life. Tho
who lias It will keep himself pure
as He is pure.
Disraeli Past Master
of Diplomatic "Bluff”
There Is on entertaining story of
J Pisrnell In MnJ Gen Sir Leopold
i Swulne's volume of reminiscences.
There was a moment during the Her-
I Hu congress of IMS when it seemed
as If (be British cud Hussion couton-
| :lnns could not la* brought Into har-
mony. On the morning of the fourth
day Bismarck called on Pisrnell. They
spoke on every other subject except
the congress. Finally Bismarck got
up to go. and said: “I don’t know If
you and GortschukotT, the Russian del-
egate, have come to an amicable agree
raent, but I trust whatever may hap-
pen this afternoon, that when you re-
turn to England you will take with
you a pleasant recollection of your
stay In Berlin.” "I shall certainly do
that," said Dizzy, “for I have met with
nothing but kindness and considers
tlon from everyone. Only this morn-
ing I had another proof of 1L I sent
to the station master to Inquire how
much notice I must give for a special
train to be got ready to take me back
to Enghind. The reply, most civilly
worded, wns to the effect that two
hours would suffice.” Bismarck went
straight to GortschakofT to tell him
that Dizzy meant fighting If he did not
give In. “He gave In,” adds Sir Leo-
pold Swalne.
Profane Premise Kept
by Great Tragedian
Junius Brutus Booth, the actor, was
extremely eccentric. At times he
seemed to forget all responsibility and
would follow fanciful whims wherever
they led hlta One night he had been
announced for a performance of “King
Lear” at the Boston theater. The
house was crammed. The hour for
the curtain had gone by, but Booth had
not arrived. Messengers were sent In
every direction In on attempt to locate
him and finally he was discovered In
one of his haunts surrounded by a ring
of more or less Inebriated friends.
With difficulty he was taken to the
theater, and when he heard the din of
the audience, growing riotous because
of the delay, he pulled the curtain
aside, thrust out his head and shoul-
ders, und shook his fist at the howling
mob.
“Shut up I Shut up!” he yelled.
“Keep quiet! You Just keep still and
in ten minutes I’ll give you the d—st
King Lear you ever saw In your life.”
And he did.—Scribner’s Magazine
Pointer for Angler
Here Is an Idea which should Inter-
est the angler when making prepar-
ations for the fishing season. In a
patent granted to William P. Ziegler
of Ambridge, Pa., In 1916, the speci-
fications read:
“Artificial Fish Balt. Body of wood
with mirror In sides—In Imitation of
a fish. A male fish, seeing his Image
in looking there, will appear to see
another fish approaching, and this will
not only arouse his warlike spirit, but
also appeal to his greed, and he will
seize the bait quickly In order to de-
feat his rival. In case the fish Is sus-
pected of cowardice, I may make the
mirror convex In order that the rival
may appear smaller. In case of the
female fish, the attractiveness of the
mirror Is too well known to need dis-
cussion.”
I BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
In accordance with the cu; tome es-
tablished by my predecessor, I have
j yearly proclaimed an American For-
] est Week. I do 30 again in the bt-
1 liel' that no other of our internal
J problems is of greater moment than
the rehabilitation of our forests, now
so hopefully begun but needing the
strong support of our collective will
and intelligence. Through joint ar-
rangement, Canada is observing for-
est week concurrently with us.
One-fourth of our soil is better
suited to timber-growing than any-
thing else. I can not escape the con-
viction that our industrial and agri-
cultural stability will be strengthen-
ed by bringing into full productive
use this great empire of land. Al-
though much progress has been made
in public forestry and hopeful begin-
nings in private fortstry, we still
have a vast aggregate of idle or semi-
idle land, und another large aggre-
gate of poor farm land that might
more profitably grow timber instead
of adding to the problem of agricul-
tural overproduction.
Consider what blessings the use of
this land for intensive forest culture
would bring to our country. Our
migratory forest industries would be
stablized and made permanent. Rural
industry would be greatly strength-
ened and vitalized. Agriculture would
find in silviculture a strong ally, pro-
viding markets for farm produce and
for surplus labor. Our farms them-
selves contain nearly a third of our
woodland — an enormous potential
farm asset if handled for continuous
timber crops. With widespread for-
est culture, new wealth would spring
up for the support of roads, schools,
and local government, and the rural
regions would enjoy a larger share
of the national prosperity. For some
of our surplus capital now seeking in-
vestment abroad, new outlets would
be found in forest production. Our
people would then have been assured
supply of timber and would see the
hills and the waste places reclothed
with forests for their pleasure and
inspiration.
American Forest Week ^ives a
useful opportunity for taking counsel
on what can and should be done to
bring these neglected and waiting
lands into use. It also gives an op-
portunity for each citizen to consider
his own responsibility in the common
task. It is flfct enough that the Fed-
eral and Skate Governments have
joined hands with the landowner in
the first step toward forest rehabili-
tation, protection against fire. Every
citizen whose thoughtless act may
endanger the woods has the obliga-
tion of respecting the forest and
guarding it from its worst enemy,
file.
Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge,
President of the United Slates, do
hereby designate and set aside an
American Forest Week the week be-
ginning April 24 and ending April
30, in this year of 1927; and I do ear-
nestly urge that during that week the
thought of all citizens be directed to
the need of preventing forest fires
and to the measures necessary for the
preservation and wise use of our for-
ests. I recommend to the Governors
of the several States that they like-
wise designate this week for special
observance, and that where practi-
cable and not in conflict with law or
custom, Arbor Day be observed on
some day of the same week. I urge
that in each state special exercises
be held in the schools and that the
press and the general public give con-
sideration to the forest needs of their
respective commonwealths, to the
adequacy of such legislation as may
be on their statute books, and to the
possible need for further enactments.
And I urge that all who own forest
lands give consideration to the feasi-
bility of so using them that their
benefits may continue in perpetuity.
In witness whereof, I have here-
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washingtoh
this 15th day of March in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and twenty-seven, and of the Inde-
pendence of the United States of
America the one hundred and fifty-
first.
By the President.

"EVERYONE knows that a lax-
S2j ative stimulates the bowels. A
diuretic performs a similar function
to the kidneys'. Under the strain of
our modern life, our organa are apt to
become sluggish and require assist-
ance. More and more people are
learning to me Doan’s Pills, oc-
casionally, to insure good elimina-
tion which is so essential to good
health. More than 50,000 grateful
users have given Doan’s signed rec-
ommendations. Scarcely a commu-
nity but has its representation. Ask
