Dear NJ. B. Friends:

Dear M. B. Friends:
Perhaps there is no one anniversary of
the year which carries the mind SO fully
back to the "old homen. as the Thanks
giving season. That, for so many years,
was the one day which stood for happy
home gathering. 1t was the day the chill
dren looked forward to for months with
anticipations that actually were realized
when the date OF the feast day was reached.
How much anxiety there was to know
the state of the weather or the condition
of the roads on that eveutful morning.
The dawn might bring cold, gray east
erly, or some stray snowfiakes might be
floating in the air; occasionally "mild
spell had set i'm, and fog and mud would
be prevailing, but joy of joys when snow
storm visited the earth during the still
hours OF the night, and the first sleighride
of the season was drive to ''the old home,
with the tinkle of the bells making sweet
music-music which made the casual graf
ing of the runners pass unnoticed.
Is there any time in the year when the
gray locks and time worn faces of grand
father and grandmother come back to us,
as at this season? When the fathers and
mothers look as they did to us when they
were in their prime? When the cousins
are living pictures OF smooth faced boyish-
ness and smiling. dimpled girlhood?
Sweet visions OF the long ago! Who
does not recall them at this festive season,
even with thankfulness. although the re-
membrance brings a longing in the heart
for ''the days that are:no. moren.
As finished writing the last sentence
above, / took up few clippings which
have been sent for me to make selections
for our column, and the following from
our faithful "Janet" seemed an answer to
my thoughts, so / insert the stanza here:
81 watch group of children, tired with play,
Returning to their homes as evening falls,
Ard as they drop OF singly by the way
Each waves her little hand. and gaiiy calls,
Until tomorrow
"And SO when we, amid life's gathering gloom.
Pause on the threshold OF our Fathers home,
Why should we sorrow?
Shall we not meet again In endless day,
Where shadows and where signing fee away,
Tomorrow"
Now I want to add one stsnza from a
poem called "a Collect for Thanksgiving
Day., by Edwin Markham, printed in the
Success for November:
Father of Life. thank Thee, too.
For old acquaintanees near and true,
For friends who came into my day
And took the loneliness away;
For faith that held Cd to the last,
For all sweet memories of the past;
Dear memories of my dead that send
Long thoughts of life, and of hfe's end,
That make me know the light eonceals
A deeper world than 1t reveals"

ANCIENT TIMES

| III some form the gathering of the
!harvest has been celebrated by agri-
cultural communities since the days of
classical antiquity. Ceres. sometimes
called queen of the harvest, is the sub
Iject of endless eulogies In the tales of
Psychological times.
Demeter, or Ceres, was the goddess
protecting corn and agriculture in gen.
eral. The fame of this goddess and a
worship instituted by her extended
over the east. She was the mother of
Fersephone. the beautiful maiden
whom Aidoneus. with the help of her
father Zeus, carried off.
In despair at the loss Of her daugh-
ter Ceres wandered over the face of the
earth and finally, in the disguise of an
old woman, found a home in Eleusis.
There she at length revealed herself
and caused temple TO be built. TAX
ing up her abode In it, year of fam
inc came over the land The soil yield
ed no produce. In vain the people
plowed and sowed seed. The race was
In danger of perishing. and Zeus in
despair begged Ceres to come back TO
Olympus. but she would not return to
him nor permit the earth to bring forth
until she had seen her daughter. Zeus
then prevailed upon the captors of
Persephone to release her. and the fair
one was conducted to Eleusis. The
meeting between mother and daughter
was a joyous one, and Zcus sent mes
senger to invite his spouse and their
offspring back to heaven. Ceres com
piled,
And instant. from the deep soiled eornaeids
fruit sent up; with leaves and flowers the whole
wide earth was laden.
This fiction is taken as a parable to
show the secret life of nature and the
development of food from seed of
grain buried in the earth. Ceres is
commonly represented with sickle in
her right hand. A wreath of wheat
confines her hair, and cornucopia,
type of plenty, is placed near her to
represent fruitful harvests.
The Eleusinian mysteries origi-
mated In the worship set up to Ceres
at Eleusis. Little is positively known
of the nature of this secret worship,
except that it was ennobling to the

Through Toll and suffering.

Through toll and through suffering
we are enabled to gain keener insight
into spiritual things and greater power
in doing spiritual things, increased pu-
rity Of heart, deeper humility. more
intense desire for holiness. Then toll
and suffering are endowed with the
highest of all meanings. And this
meaning is given to labor and sorrow
just in the degree that they are borne
In humble trust in God and in the de-
sire, so far as lies in our power. to be
faithful to our profession of faith in
the Saviour. That we know not the
reason why we are compelled to labor
so hard or to suffer so much does not
affect the result. Through the presence
in US Of the true spirit of devotion.
through the offerings of ourselves in
this way, the blessed effects will be
wrought, for in our lives as individual,
as well as in the life of the church and
the nation, there is the hiding of Gods

joicing for the bounties Of the harvest.
The Jews in all lands hold week
Of thanksgiving at the close of the
summer season. This is the feast OF
the tabernacles founded by Moses. In
the course of their peregrinations the
Israelites on the way TO the promised
land dwelt in booths, and the event is
commemorated by taking the meals
of the feast In tents or temporary shell
tiers. The roof must admit a view of
the sky. and is usually made of the
branches of trees. The more plous of
the race sleep under this green roof.
The members of family, or some
times whole community. club togeth-
err and erect large tabernacles of
boughs. This festival is also called
the feast of the ingathering. 1t is
mentioned in the twenty-third chapter
of Exodus. sixteenth verse, as 1.-The
feast of the ingathering at the end of
the year. when thou hast gathered in
the labors of the field"
The rules OF the feast are more ex-
plicitly laid down In the twenty-third
chapter of Leviticus. commencing with
the thirtythird verse. as follows:
And the Lord spake unto Noses saying:
Speak unto the children Of Israel. saying, The
fifteenth day OF this seventh month shall be the
feast of ,sbernscles for seven Gays unto the Lord
Also in the fifteenth day Of the seventh month
when We have gathered in the fruit Of the land. Sc
shall keep feast unto the Lord seven days; tue
first day shall be Sabbath and on the eighth
day shall be q sabbath
And ye shall take you the first day the
boughs OF goodly trees, branches Of paim trees
and the boughs Of thick trees and willows of the
brook
And ye shall dwell in booths srven DAYS; all
that are lsraelites born shall owen in booths
The idea of the tahernacles and the
ingathering of the harvest are more
closely combined IN the sixteenth chap
ter of Deuteronomy. the thirteenth
verse. which says:
Thou shalt observe the feast of the tabernacles
seven Gays. after thou hast gathered in thy corn
and wine.
The nearest approach TO the modern
Thanksgiving festival as II Is kept in
the country was the harvest home of
the English farm people, formerly eel
ebrated by the whole rural community
with universal merrymaking, feasting
songs and dances. The last load of
corn from the field was crowned with
flowers. having. besides, an image rich
ly dressed to typify Ceres. the queen of
tie harvest. When the last load reach
ed the barn. the joyous harvesters sang
In chorus:
We have plowed We have sowed
We have reaped we have moved.
We have brought home every load.

A long list could be given of explosives
and varieties of gunpowder that have
been made from sawdust. In some the
sawdust is used as an absorbent. as with
nitroglyeerin; in others as filler, while
in still others it is converted into forms
OF pyroxiline. BY heating sawdust with
eaustic alkali and sulphur a brown dye
is obtained, which is cheap aud fast, re-

Dust In the Eyes.

Inflammation OF the eyes resulting
from dust is not serious matter, though
frequently troublesome. A simple rem.
edy is to battle the eye or eyes FIRST, for
short time, with hot water and then
with thirty drops Of goulard water mixed
in half pint OF soft water. This ba a.
ing with both the hot water and the 10
ton should be repeated many times a
day, and after the eyes are bathed tn, ;
should be kept closed, or the patielt
should sit in a dark room.

MY OLD HOME.
As by the Ere sit tonight
Watching the embers' glow,
How busy memory brings to sight
The scenes Of long ago.
For looking back seem to see
Myself, again child,
When, like a fairy land to me,
The earth as Eden smiled.
Once more among familiar things
In fancy do roam,
As to my sight fond memory brings
Again my childhood home.
The dear old house where was born,
The barn, the brook. the spring.
The oil-nut trees where every morn
I.beard the robins sing.
The orchard hill, with breezes sweet,
That made my face so brown,
When from its top, with romping feet.
chased the apples down.
The path that to the hilltop led
From whence looked away,
Where. like painted picture spread,
The lovely landscape lay.
Each spot was Ikea precious gem,
And dearly priced by me,
And though 30 distant far from them
Yet all tonight see.
And so / sit and muse and dream
Within my freight warm,
Until once more.a child seem
Upon my fathers farm.
