"No, 1 don't like that. Let's cali him

"No, / don't like that. Let's call him
let's call him Mr.. Norton"
Every WELL" replied Barbara, hur-
riedly. run right along with it.
Your mamma is calling you, and I
must finish my baking"
Don't you think he looks like him?"
Carl insisted as he grasped the figure
by the feet, which in the process of
baking had become ridiculously short
and stubby. merginginto the coat tails.
mo, don't think it's striking re-
semblance," said Barbara, laughing.
"Well, do. 1 think he looks just
like him. like Mr.. Morton, don't
you?" But at that moment Mrs. Ward
called Carl in the tone he always
obeyed, and Barbara did not have to
answer him.
She finished her work in serious
mood, and in the evening in the little
room over the kitchen she at first sat
down to mediate as her custom some
times was. But, suddenly changing
her mind, she opened her Bible to seek
out another of the passages that re-
ferred to the servant or to service, and
after several unsuccessful attempts
to locate a verse that she thought was
in Thessalonians, she found the pass
age in Ephesians, sixth chapter, fifth
verse.
Servants, be obedient unto them
that according to the flesh are your
masters, with fear and trembling, in
singleness of your heart, as unto
Christ; not in the way of eye-service
as men pleasers; but as servants of
Christ, doing the will of God from
the heart; with good will doing serv-
ice, as unto the Lord and not unto
men; knowing that whatsoever good
thing each one doeth, the same shall
he receive again from the Lord, wheth-
er he be bond or free. And We, mas
tiers, do the same things unto them.
and forbear threatening; knowing
that both their Master and yours is
in Heaven, and there is no respect Of
persons with Him."
81 wonder just what those words
mean," Barbara thought. "'And We,
masters, do the same things unto
them?' Of course, they could not
| change places as master and slave.
1t must mean a mutual honesty and
justice and Christlikeness in their
relations to one another" And then
she gained great comfort from the
last verse. And there is no respect
of persons with Him.
"My Father in Heaven" she prayed
81 have chosen my work, or Thou hast
chosen it for me. Just what its
crosses may be, do not yet know.
Whatever I shall be called upon tc
lose, Thou lnowest. But in and
through all, sustain me with this low,
ing thought: There is no respect OF
persons with Thee, Thou who dost
respect the service of men, and not
their outward station. Sustain me
by Thy grace, in Christ's name.
Amen"
When Thursday afternoon of that
week came, Barbara remembered hel
promise to Mrs. Vane; and, when she
went out, as it was her regular after,
noon off, she told Mrs. Ward that she
| was going to call on Mrs. Vane.
You will find her a very interesting
| woman. / don't know how much she
can do to help your ideas. She is &C.
centric. But in any case you will fine
her interesting" Mrs. Ward venturec
to say.
81 am sure she is" said Barbara.
eff she asks you to stay to supper
you needn't come hack to get ours
I'll manage somehow" Mrs. Ware
spoke kindly, and Barbara was on the
point of thanking her and accepting
the permission, when she noted Mrs
Wards pale face and nervous manner
She had been suffering all the morning
from one of her wretched headaches.
"Thank you," replied Barbara, qui
city; 'but prefer not to. I'll be bach
in time to get supper"
"Do just as you please" Mrs. WARD
replied, but Barbara detected looL
of relief on her tired face as she went
out.
