If such is the case the volume of travel will be well over 1,000,000 on these Unes for 1926. This unusual activity on the part of Americana is attributed to two reasons __the general prosperity of the United States and wider appreciation of the recently instituted tourist class, or “glorified steerage.” The prosperity Is so general that it has extended to a class of persons who heretofore had never thought a trip to Europe a dream possible to realize. —News Item. m ATTITUDE TOWARD FALSE TEACHERS 1.

________ g ifts for the Sunday School work, and the work of the church. The gifts might be rice, vegetables; in fact, anything that could be used that was worth using. The children had held Buch services before, so they knew just what to do. Besides they had been planning for the event months in advance. Among the boys there was a new pupil, a little colored boy, who had oeen in the school only a short time. He was an orphan, and bad no one to help him or show him what to do. On the following Sunday the children began to bring in their gifts and place them on the platform in the church. In the meantime our little friend’s heart grew heavier and heavier. The tears started to his eyes; he could not keep them back. Bow ing his head in prayer he said, “Oh Jesus! Dear Jesus! I love Thee with all my heart! I too want to take up a gift, but my bands are empty! What is there for me to give?“ Then God put a wonderful, beautiful thought Into his mind. "My boy,’’ whispered Jesus, “Just give YOURSELF— YOURSELF! That’s the gift I want from you today.’’ As his name was called he went forward, stepped up to the Communion Table, took from It the sliver plate lying there, placed It on the floor, stepped Into It In his bare feet, looked up very earnestly Into the face of his pastor, put the plate back, and went to his seat. “Well," said the missionary to himself, "that was a Queer thing for John to do; I think I will ask him why he did that.” When the service was over he called John aside, and said, "That was a queer thing you did this morning. What did you mean by it?" “Well,” was the answer, “a short time ago I gave myself to Jesus, and I love Him with all my heart, because He has done so much for me. Now when I stood on that plate and looked up at you my heart was filled with a great gladness. It meant just this: ‘Dear Jesus, I love You with all my heart, my hands are empty, but if You will take me, just me, I will be Yohr boy. Go where You want me to go; do what You want me to do, and be what You want me to be. I give myself to Thee forever! It is the only gift I have to bring.’ O, pastor! I am so happy! O, so happy! Will you take me and train me so I can go forth and tell the glad news of Jesus and His love, and be used of God to win others? I want to be a missionary like you." Jesus, take this heart of mine, Make it pure, and wholly Thine; Thou has bled and died for me, I will henceforth live for Thee. —E. M. H. ¿lie, m THE EARTHLY JUDGE VS.
