Boy Scouto a* Firemen
Boy scout firemen are real anaeta to
a dty. Their duty Is to stop the firs
before it happens—safety first. These
organized units receive their instruc-
tion from some veterans in ths mu-
nicipal fire department. They make
regular inspections for fire hazards In
their districts. Are fire escapes dear,
dark hallways unemeumbered by rub-
bish and gasoline, kerosene and other
inflammables stored in safe places!
They learn different types of fire-
fighting apparatus and how to ad-
minister first aid. In the event of
fire they help the police preserve the
fire lines, act as messengers and other-
wise render efficient service. Nearly

The remedies for those fire hazards

In spite of these warnings fires con-
tinue to occur.
Though persona) carelessness is tbs
most common cause of fire, hazards
of construction are an important fac-
tor in determining the extent of re-
sulting property damage. One of the
chief considerations in connection
with these hazards is involved in fire
stopping.
The usual methods employed in
building small houses give but slight
consideration to construction which
will retard the progress of fire. Most
such houses contain many concealed
spaces which will allow fire to gain
headway without dlpcovery, to eat Its
way from floor to floor, and then sud-
denly to leap into open flame. .There
now exists a very real need, for easily
understoodwdrawlngs of fire-stopping
rays to a grease spot on the front
seat. Fire that started damaged the
car considerably, before It was discov-
ered and was extinguished by a few
pulls of water.*

The method of review ntist always
be determined by the department of
the Sunday school and by the teacher’s
preferences. For the young people
and adults, perhaps the best method
will be to assign the task of finding
the most Important teaching of each
lesson.
The following is suggestive of tbe
method of review recommended:
Leeson for April 11—God created all
things. The things which are come
to be by the creative act ofi a personal
God. God created man in His likeness
and image, which means that man |
bears God’s likeness morally and in-
tellectually.
Lesson for April 18—The explana-
tion of the Ills and sorrows of the
world can only be made on the basis
of the historical fall of man as re-
corded in the Bible. The prime actor
in this tragedy was the personal, cun-
ning, malicious being called the Devil.
Becauhe man is a free being, possess-
ing the power of contrary choice, sin
entered through man’s belief of the
Devil instead of God.
Losson for April 28—Because the
human race la an organism, Caln and
Abel through the law of I __ _
came Into the world with sinful na-
tures. God taught them that the way
of approach unto Him was through a
bloody sacrifice, typifying the supreme
sacrifice made by Jesus Christ on Cal-
vary. Abel believed God, took his
place as a sinner and presented hla
offer accordingly. Cato in proud self-
will brought the fruit of the ground,
thus ignoring God’s appointed way of
approach unto Him. Caln’s offering
therefore was rejected because he did
not recognise himself as a stoner and
come to God in the way which God had
appointed.
Leeson for May fi—Noah, coming Putnam, Conn., directing tbe sun’a
forth from the ark, faced the respon-
sibility of repopulating ths new world.
Ii^-ecognitlon of that obligation and
out of gratitude for God’s grace in sav-
ing himself and family, he erected an
altar and worshiped before the Lord.
God responded and entered Into cov-
enant relationship with him.
Losson for May »—Lot’s selfish
ham, because of Ms separation from
Sodom and unto God, was able to go
against a mighty king and rescue bis
unfortunate nephew.
Losson for May 18—God manifested
Himself visibly to Abraham in the
form of an angel. This angel was
none other than the Son of God.
Abraham thus met Jesus Christ. Christ
no doubt referred to this when He.
said, “Abraham saw my day and was
glad."
Losson for tyay 28—Isaac, a child of
the covenant given In the old age |
of Ms parents, was a gentle and
peace-loving man. He suffered wrong
sather than strive with Ms enemies.
Lesson for May 30—Jacob was
chosen of God. Because of this God
was with him. God will keep, pro-
tect and prosper His-elect ones even
to spite of their weakness and failure.
Losson for June 6—Esau because of
living under the sway of his appetite
sold Ms birthright for a mess of pot-
tage. He afterward repented and
sought to undo his deed. Though sin-
cerely regretting his act, it was Im-
possible to change conditions,
acts and choices are irrevocable.
Losoon for Juno 13—Joseph was
peculiarly beloved by his father. Be-
cause of this Jacob unwisely ex-
pressed favoritism. This favorit-
ism incited the Jealousy of his
brothers, who at the opportune
time sold him as a slave to mer-
chantmen going down to Egypt.
Because of the false accusation of a
wicked woman he was Imprisoned?
Lesson for Juno 20—Because of Jo-
seph’s fidelity God raised Mm to a
position of honor and power In Egypt
While in this position he made pro-
vision against an awful famine wMch
earns upon the land and became a
means of saving from starvation not
only the Egyptians, but Ms brethren ,
who came down from Canaan. Though
they had wronged Mm ho graciously
forgave them and provided for them
to their need.

WM-Markod Street*
of Prifne Importance
Progressive citizens of Boston have
decided that “a signless city is an_
abomination to Its citizens and par-'
ticularly to its visitors." After a cam-
paign their signs are to be placed on
every corner. These signs are to be
visible, conspicuous, uniform and
durable.
Champaign is fast becoming a sign-
less city. Many street signs are miss-
ing and others are too old and obscure
to be of value. Many Important in-
tersections are not marked.
Another touring season approaches.
Strangers will bo as bewildered as
ever unless some arrangement Is
made to guide them about the city
by means of well-marked streets. Im-
portant entries to the city, the busi-
ness section, main routes and streets
should at least be marked and pro-
vision made to place signs on minor
streets Ister.
Champaign is too progressive a com-
munity to remain a signless city much
longer.—Champaign News Gazette.

Paul
(~\r THE many interesting expert
L/ encea tn the life of the A pestle
Paul, his visit with Peter to one ofjhe
most Important. After Paul had seen
the Lord In the vision on the Damas-
cus highway, he asked "What wilt
Thou have me do?" in answer to this
question he was given his commission
to go and preach the Gospel. Paul
deeply appreciated the responsibility
of this new work which opened before
him. He also realized that he was
not sufficiently prepared for the tank,
because he had never seen Jesus. He
bad heard a great deal about Him, but
he had never come Into personal con-
tact with Him. He felt that a per-
sonal contact of this nature Was a
prime requisite. In the absence of it
tie was at a great loss. It seemed to
him that It was Impossible for him
to speak out of the rich depths of a
personal experience. As Jesus had
died, m personal contact was now Im-
possible, except that which was pos-
sible In the spiritual sense. Paul,
therefore, endeavored to find some per-
son who had this personal touch with
Jesus when He was alive. From him
be concluded It would be possible for
him to acquire that which he felt he
so much needed. This explains hto
visit with Peter at Jerusalem. We do
not know very much about thin visit
no far as the record of It to concerned,
for It ia referred to In a single brief
sentence: “Then after three years I
went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas,
and tarried with him fifteen days."
What a wonderful fifteen days those i
must have been. Peter bad seen Jesus
tn the flesh. He had traveled with Him
and worked at hto side. He was a
companion of Hto for the most part
of Hto earthly ministry. It’was the
privilege of Paul to bear from Peter,
who had had first-hand information
and experience, all about the One
whose Gospel he was to preach. Pun-
gent, gripping, and Inspiring must
have been the many hours of each of
the fifteen days in which these two
friends talked together concerning the
personality and message of the great-
est character of the ages. Whatever
doubt Paul may have had concerning
the message of Jesus prior to this
visit with Peter, It certainly was dis-
pelled as the result of the visit Peter
did not answer the questions which
Paul doubtless asked by offering him
a mere definition or opinion based
upon what be might have heard others
say, bfit he told him out of hto own
personal experience what he knew
about Jesus. This had an important
effect upon the mind and heart of
Paul for tbe renson that Peter was
hto friend, and he had unlimited con-
fidence In him. In other words, the
Person whom Paul was commissioned
to declare sfiemed to him far more
real than He ever could have been
if he had not gained this sense of
reality from his friend Peter.
It was the sense of the real tn art
and literature, as well as In biography,
that appeals to us, for the rea*m that
there to absent all pretense, sham and
Imitation. That which to real grips
one’s mind. The artificial and unreal
fail In this respect, for they are a
mere pretense. Religion to Paul was
something real, and for that-reabon it
so dominated hto career that ho be-
came one of tbe most important and
best known characters in all Biblical
literature.
Paul was by nature a humble man,
although he possessed in a remarkable
degree tbe courage of hto convictions.
This was evidenced not only In hto
zeal for the religion of Jesus, but also
during that period of hto life when
he was persecuting the very troth
which, after hto conversion, he advo-
cated with ail hto power and strength.
Paul was summoned to a very difficult
task, and be needed the support of all
the courage and strength that It was
possible for him to obtain. Ho left
the humble home of Peter with a
great light Illuminating his heart and
with fire burning tn his eyes. He
now possessed the courage to under-
take the work of telling the world
something concerning a truth of which
bo had no doubt. He knew now that
what be was going to talk about was
absolutely and unquestionably true.
Re was convinced of the reality of hto
DMMNUCB.
The following incident is related by
a noted astronomer and hto friend,
who was a philosopher: They were
walking together in a garden when
their conversation happened to lead
them to a discussion of religion. The
astronomer’s name was Newton. He
spoke slightingly of religion, which
provoked from the philosopher, whose
name was Hadley, the following re-
ply: “Newton, when you talk about

Pre*erving Shingle*
Bed cedar shingles will not require
frequent repainting or restalnlng, as
is the case with walls built of many
other materials. This to especially so
when good stain to used.
Bed cedar shingle roofs should be
property treated with a reliable creo-
sote stain. Avoid stain mixed with
kerosene or benzine. Shingle side-
walls may be stained tn a wide range
of shades. Certain silver grays are
popular to produce quickly a “weath-
ered” effect. Soft non glare white,
light gold, moss green, golden brown,
deep brown, reddish brown, walnut
tones—all these and more are to bo
had In finest quality. The red cedar
shingle responds to any of them and
retains Ihern faithfully. It does not
rot, rust or conode.
