Miss Ruth Woodsmall, who comes from Colorado {springs, Colo, “ Could lay mother stay here ?” he began at once, trying his best ip cover his excitement "your mother l” gasped Miss Wood- ? "small.

The corporal’s visit remained a mys- ' tery for two days., Then one evening Just at dusk a little white haired w o -, man dressed exquisitely In black ap­ peared In the sitting room o f the Host­ ess House, and the corporal was.hover- jlng behind her, trying to be beside her apd back o f her and In front o f her all at once. He was carrying her coat—^a big far one.- ‘ With them were three doughboys, pals o f the corporal. They tried to keep in the background, hut their eyes were glued on her face. " Everyone-In ther sitting room sat at attention. There are no English speaking men or women out o f uni­ form in th^ Third Army area. Yet here was. a woman in civilian clothes., Mothers ate unheard o f with the army. But this was a mother, everyone knew.

They brought tlielr other children With'them. One was Walter, a small boy, and the other was Ralph, now Corporal Stepp o f the American Army. When the war was declared they sent. Ralph back to America, because he was of military age, and they did not want him to fight for the kaiser. Then America entered the war, Mrs. Stepp—-Mrs. Anna Stepp she is —told this part o f the story; \ “Until a month ago, I hadn’t heard -from Raich for two years and a half— Blue Serge Suit Values s Genuine Savings o f 10% to 20% On A ll Styles *% . * . ** V » "X For Men and Young Men • .

That was all I ever knew. It’s-nearly five years since Xhave seen him 1 “ Of course It was awfully hard—I couldn’t get word to him •and he couldn’t to me. My husband used to tell me It wouldn’t help Ralph any for me to cry. I tried not to—before the rest o f them anyway. My daughter got worse steadily—she Is nq, better. W e couldn’t get the proper food for her after awhile. And she hated, to see Bfe worried about Ralph, so I used to try to keep up before them. , “XASt January my husband came to Coblenz about his citizen papers. An American soldier In Ralph's company who Was In the office,heard his name and asked him i f he was any relation to Ralph, He, didn’t tell him Ralph was In Coblenz, but went after Ralph. Me didn't tell Ralph his father was here, When they met they couldn’t believe their eyes. “Ever since then Xhave been trying ■ to see Ralph, He couldn’t come to Weisfaaden because It was out o f the American area, and I couldn’t get through until today—more than two months,” ! They asked hat i f her Ralph had changed much In all that time, “ Oh, yes—very much. But do you know, I think It Is because all that Jong time when X didn't‘ know-where he was or how he was—I got in the habit o f thinking of him as'he was When he was a baby—X kept seeing him as a baby mid remembering the way lib felt when he was little. Isn’t that queer? And now look at him i” And the corporal tried not to see the adoration in her eyes, “ Five years Js A long time to watt to see your boy,” she murmured, and kept her eyes on him. Again she had forgotten the people around her. The corporal cleared his throat. “This Is why Xask d you if you could •keep my mother, Miss Woodsmall.

PRIMARY TOPIC—God’s Willingness to Forgive.* ■— JUNIOR TOPIC-The People of Nine­ veh Repent. i INTERMEDIATE T O P I C - Turning From Sin to God, SENIOR AND ADUl.T TOPIC-The Nature *n<l Fruit o f Repentance. - I. The Repentance of the People of Nineveh (8 ;M0). The following steps are noted In their conversion: 1. Hearing the Word of the Lord (vv. 1*4), The Lopd commanded Jonah to go to Nlheveli, a great arid wicked city, and there “ preach the preaching” that he bade him. Jonah's runaway experi­ ence (see elmpters 1, 2) was such that he was willing to obey God, His chnstisemertt was severe, but by God's grace he was now ready to execute the commission. “ Jonah arose and went unto Nlneveli according to the word of the Lord” (v. 3), So great was the city o f Nlneveli that It required three days, to compass It; tlmt Is, to visit Its very centers of activity, Jonah, com­ ing from Palestine, doubtless entered the city from the south, and during an entire day going from center to cen­ ter cried, “ Yet forty days and Nineveh slmli be overthrown” (v. 4). Since the king’s palace seems to have been In the south,part of the city Jonah's message soon found Its way to him. If every prencher would preach what God bids him there would be more cities turning to God. 2, Believing God (v. 8). They not only believed God would visit judgment upon them, but believed In God, and put tlielr trust In hifn for mercy and salvation. 3. Repented (vv, 5*0), Their penitence was shown In (1) proclaiming a fast and putting on sack­ cloth (vr. 5*7). These marks of hu­ miliation were shown by all, from the king on his throne to Jhe most humble man, (2) Cried mightily to God (v, 8), In the m id stV their humiliation they cried with intensity to God. (3) Turned from tlielr evil ways (v, 8).' The final test of penitence is turning from sin; it Is hating sin badly enough to quit It, ^ , 4, Accepted by God <v, 10), When the Nln#v!tw tamed from their <w»* God refrained from executing doom tkffib ft W*ftt4 fattWOL <M .a unchangeable. IDs lioiy nature is unalterably opposed to Sin, When men repent from their sins ills wrath Is turned aside. This is what Is meant by God repenting. II. The Necessity of Repentance (Luke 13:1-5), Repentance Is necessary on the pnrt of all, since nil ure sinners, “The wages of sin Is death” (Rom. 6:23). 'While God Is unalterably opposed to sin h'e is infinitely gracious. His holy nature compels him to cause judgment to fall upon those who will not turn from their sins to serve him. Re­ pentance la not merely a matter of privilege, hut of absolute necessity if one ‘wduld escape the wrath o f God. ■Repentance Is tluTonly door of eScaW from perdition. It is not a question of how great a sinner one Is that de­ termines the need for repentance, since God cannot look upon evil: "For thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and const not took upon Iniquity” (Hab, 1-13), No one can ever see him In pence unless he turns from his sins. God commands men to repent (Acts 17130). ' . III. The Blessed Resylts of Repen­ tance (Acts 2:37,38). 1. Remission of sins, Remit means to send/away. The one who repents Is rid forever of his sins, ffir ho Is a new man in Christ. 2. Gift of the Holy Spirit. When one is regenerated he .not only Is rid of Ms sins, but God, the XIoly Spirit, takes up Ills abode In him. He Is his teacher, guide and defender. These blessed results ought to move one to repent. The goodness of God ought to provokoTnen to penitence, New and Exclusive Styles in Women’s’ Pumps and .
