i Union.)

READING GOD’S WORD.
—
LESSON TEXT—Psalms 19:7-11; Acts 8:
I 26-39.
I GOLDEN TEXT—Ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free.—
! John 8:32.
! ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR
TEACHERS—Psalms 37:31; 119:9-16; Pro
: verbs 13:13; Isaiah 65:8-11; John 6:39-46-17;

! DEVOTIONAL READING—Psalms 119:
9-16, 97-106.
I. Characteristics of God’s Word
(Ps. 19:7-11).
The Psalmist here sets forth six de
scriptive titles of God’s Word, six out
standing qualities, and six resultant
effects.
FIRST GROUP—
1. Title: "The Law of the Lord”
(v. 7).
By this is meant the fundamental
principles which God as a moral being .
reveals to the consciences of men as
binding upon the soul.
2. Quality: "Perfect” (v. 7).
It is free from omissions and re
dundancies. It is perfect as a moral
code, and it perfectly accomplishes
man’s salvation.
3. Effect: "Converting the Soul" i
(v. 7).
The practical effect of the law of
God is to turn men to God himself, |
righteousness and holiner.3.
SECOND GROUP—
1. Title: “The Testimony of the
Lord” (v. 7).
It is the witness which God bears as
to his attributes, and against man’s
sins.
2. Quality: "Sure” (v. 7)
It is nlain and infallible. We can
repose in it our interests for time and
eternity.
3. Effect: "Making Wise the Sim
ple” (v. 7).
The simple are those who have hum
ble, open and teachable minds.
THIRD GROUP—
1. Title: “The Statutes of the Lord”
(v 8).
These are the principles or charges
which the Lord gives to us all, to fit
us to rightly perform the duties which
the different relations of life make
obligatory upon us.
2. Quality: “Right" (v. 8).
They are from the righteous God
and are absolutely just and equitable.
3. Effect: “Rejoicing the Heart” (v.
8).
The true heart rejoices in justice
and equity.
FOURTH GROUP—
1. Title: “The Commandment of the
Lord” (v. 8).
This brings into view the personal
God whp stands back of his law to en
force its demands—to require obedi
ence to its precepts.
2. Quality: “Pure” (v. 8).
It is free from deceit and error.
3. Effect: “Enlightening the Eyes”
(v. 8).
The effect of God’s law is to give
man ability, not only to under
stand his love and salvation, but to be
wise as to the things about him.
FIFTH GROUP—
1. Title: “The Fear of the Lord” (v.
9).
Reading the Word of God produces
reverential fear in the heart of the
reader.
2. Quality: “Clean” (v. 9).
It is not only clean in itself, but
sanctifies the heart of those who re
ceive it.
3. Effect: “Enduring Forever” (v. 9).
The life and relationship founded
upon his law abide forever.
SIXTH GROUP—
1. Title: “The Judgments of the
Lord” (v. 9).
By this is meant the sentences pro
nounced by God’s Word.
2. Quality: “True and Righteous"
(v. 9).
The penalties prescribed by God
are time, conformable to the intuitive
moral sense of man.
3. Effect: “Serve as Warnings and
Bring Reward” (v. 11).
If the warnings be heeded, ship
wrecks upon life’s sea will be pre
vented. Besides God pays a wage
for obedience to his laws. Godliness is
profitable unto all, having the promise
; of the life that now is, and that which
Is to come.
II. A Notable Example of Bible
Study (Acts 8:26-39).
1. Who It Was (v. 27).
The Ethiopian eunuch, a man of
great authority. He was the secretary
of the treasury of the Ethiopian queen.
The wisest and best men and women
of the earth have been reverent stu
dents of the Bible and have testified
to its beauty and power.
2. Tho Circumstances of (v. 2S).
It was while traveling that this
great man was studying the Bible.
This is a most excellent way to im
prove moments while on a journey.
3. Doing Personal Work (vv. 29-37).
Philip was taken from his great
evangelistic work in Samaria and di
rected to go to the desert. The Spirit
directed Philip to join himself to the
chariot in which the Ethiopian was
traveling. Philip ran in obedience to
the Spirit's command. One should be
i alert for the Spirit’s direction as for
> the individual with whom to do per
i sonal work. The eunuch was inquir
; lng after the way of life. But still
he needed the help of a Spirit-taught
man. __

Reminder: The trouble with the

is the fact that people do not learn

and we are all truants, some more
than others. We are also like the in
different and self-opinionated child
who will not learn from his teaoher
because it thinks it knows more than
the teacher, or thinks he has plenty
of time to make good. Christ tells
us we are au brancnes, tnereiore we
are as dependant upon Him as the
limb is upon the tree from which it
grows. Let us learn God’s lesson.

TAXATION BIGGEST
SUBJECT BEFORE
THE CONVENTION.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 13.—After three
days’ debate the constitutional con
vention by a vote of 4 to 30 struck
out the section of the article on .tax
ation, submitted by the committee on
labor, which embodied the “ad valo
rem and uniform” principle of the
old constitution.
It was admitted, however, by the
proponents of the proposed new plan
of “segregation and classification”
that the convention did not therebv
declare decisively for the new pro
posal as some of those who voted to
strike will demand some radical
changes in the new plan proposed by
the committee.
It is probable that the articles on
taxation will take up the greater part
of next week, as it is admittedly the j
biggest subject before the convention.1
The fight for the new plan was
ably led by Chairman J. D. Head and
Henry Rector, while Judge J. H.
Evans led the fight, for the retention
of the old constitution with some
modifieaions.
The argument raged for three days
about the questions of tangible and
intangibly property, advalomen and
uniform assessment, and segregation
and calssification of property. The
proponents of the new plan argue
that the plan which has been in ex
istence since 1836 has proven a mon
umental failure, and that the legisla
ture should be left free to adopt such
a plan as may appear to be the best
after mature deliberation on the part
of a commission of experts.

MILITARY TRAINING
IS ESTABLISHED IN
HENDRIX COLLEGE.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 13.—President J.
H. Reynolds of Hendrix college, a
member of the constitutional conven
tion, announced that the war depart
ment has established military train-!
ing in the college. At the request of
the adjutant general, President Rey
nolds has appointed ten students to
represent the college in the Students’
Army Training Camp at Fort Sheri
dan, Illinois, July 18 to September 16.
These students will assist the officer
to be detailed by the department in
training the students next year. This
action of the war department is a
part of the general plan of the gov
ernment to introduce military train
ing in all colleges and universities of
the nation.

CONCERNING TAXATION.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 13.—In present
ing his argument in favor of the tax
ing of intangible wealth, but at a
different rate from that imposed
upop tangible wealth, J. D. Head, of
Miller county, called attention in the
constitutional convention to the ex
perience of Minnesota.
In 1910, there were in that state
6200 tax-payers of that class, assess
ed a total of $13,919,806, at a rate of
28 mills. In 1916, after the adoption
of a system such as that being advo
cated by the committee on taxation,
the number of tax-payers had in- j
creased to 74,219, assessed at $234,
186,268, and the rate of taxation had
been reduced to three mills.

SHEEP HERDING LONELY JOB
Men in Australia Have Strange Ways
of Keeping Count of the
Days.
Each boundary rider on the im
mense sheep ranches of Australia has
a district to look after, and he has
to keep the wire fences in repair and
see that the sheep come to no harm.
It is a hard, lonely life, in which the
rider rarely sees another human be-,
ing. Many of the men have strange
ways of keeping count of the days.
One rider named Eagan tried sev
dill £>IU1I» LU VJUUL1L HIC UUJO,
but always failed. At length he hit
on a novel and attractive method. He
made a big damper—the name the
Australians give to a cake of flour
and water with a seasoning of salt—
on Sunday and marked it into seven
parts. Each section was a day’s al
lowance, and the slices that remained
told him the number cf days# that
must pass before Sunday came again.
For several weeks this method never
failed him. Unfortunately, one Tues
day he fell in with a fellow rider who
was very hungry. Eagan stinted him
self in order that the ravenous one
might be satisfied with that day’s sec
tion of the damper. But it was no
use. The host saw the knife cut the
boundary line and the hungry rider
carve into the almanac. He could
stand it no longer.
“Stop, now, stop,” he yelled, as he
clutched the remains of the damper
md glared at his visitor. “There,” he
went on, “you’ve eaten Tuesday and
you’ve eaten Wednesday, and now you
want to slice the best of the mornin’
off Thursday! Net if I can stop it,
sonny! I won’t be knowing the day
of the week!”
Swiss Toy Barometer.
Familiar all over the world is the
Swiss toy barometer that gives notice
of storm or sunshine by the appear
ance of a little man or a little woman
outside of a miniature house. If the
prospect be of fair weather, the wom
an comes out; if of storm, the man.
The toy is really a fairly reliable
Weather prophet. Its mechanism is,
of course, extremely simple, the two
ugures acting in response to the
twisting piece of catgut, which con
tracts in dry weather and expands
when there is moisture in the air, thus
turning the little platform on which
the manikins stand.
