Pharaoh said “ Who is Jehovah?” and he found out who He was as the waters of the Red Sea covered him. Jonah-—whom Christ signally honored—is the laughing stock of these brutal servants of the devil, whose supreme delight seems to be found in making light of the Book they are sup posed to honor. One must be possessed of a good deal of the grace of God to be able to speak tolerantly of such men whose ignorance is only excelled by their unholy audacity. Peter well describes them in 2 Peter 2 :15: , Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteous- ness. rp q j j a ?

We can remember some twenty-five years ago when that institution sought to dominate the International Sunday School Association, and at that time failed. It then turned its attention to the denominational S. S. litera ture and there found a comfortable nesting place, and such lesson‘helps are tor the most part very destructive.

M. C. A., a personal friend of the writer, was used of God in a wonderful way in Men’s Meetings. Few men have had the privilege accorded him. Hundreds of men confessed through his ministry. His work was followed by the prayers of many of God’s servants who loved and honored him. Now he is quoted as saying recently in an address at St. Paul, Minnesota, that his former addresses were “ canned goods” which he would now sell for a dollar and a half. That he was then saving drunkards one by one, but he now proposed to save men by communities.
