jects of His compassion. AS He
has gathered successive congre-
cations of hearers of His words, so
He gathers successive groups of
sufferers to be helped and healed.
He lives again and forever in His
ideals of love and sacrifice. HIT
man salvation will ultimately
come from the same application of
these Divine principles to human
life universally.
Nature drew curtain of DARK
ness around the closing scene
Jesus life. 1t is suggestive of the
reserve which is becoming the
treatment Of the last events. To
analyze and diagnose, to depict
infinitely the grim and CHASTITY
associations and incidents is to go
back to the Middle Ages, when a
horIid puppet show of it was made
upon the streets to awe a foolish
folk. This morbid and terrifying
picturing of Calvary is an out
growth of a theology now effete,
which affirmed that Jesus paid on
the cross an exact penalty for the
total Of human sin and an exact
price for human redemption. This
led to superlative emphasis upon
the woe of Golgotha Greater Di-
vine suffering meant greater hu.
man sin.
y view now growing in accep-
lance is that Jesus suffered no more
moral anguish upon the cross than
He did at times during His life,
notably, for example, in Geth-
semane. This suffering arose
from His Identification of Himself
with the whole human race, bear
ing in sympathy upon His holy
heart its grief and sins, and burn
ing with the holy purpose to re-
deem His fellows.
Again, we are reminded that the
death Of Jesus on the cross is not
the goal of the sacred narrative.
The last chapter is the true eli
max 1t relates the resurrection,
the forty days, and the ascension.
1t is demonstration of the contin-
uity Of life, the survival of spirit,
the recognition of friends, and
whatever else is contained in that
biissful word, heaven.

Jabez replied not a word, but followed
the advice. Back to the point where he
had missed the letter lie toiled through
the snow, but he might have looked for
the proverbial needle in the haystaok
with much better prospect of success. II"
returned home discunsoIate.
The next afternoon. after his Christmas
dinner, Jabcz, being still moody and silent
as The sphinx, giving attention to NOTHING
in the house with The exception Of his b
loved side whiSEcrs. announced to MARI
that he was going to the village AMI
would not be bacl. until late At night
Mary appeared unduly disconnected. she
begged Jabez TO remain with her. 1t was
Christmas. she urged and he as the head
Of the house should be there in case any
visitors should drop in or in case any one
should come to see him about law bust
dess. TO the first objection JabeZ replied
that il there was one day in the year
when people would stay at home It was
Christmas, and if any one should come
professionally he wouldn't see them any
way. Anyway, it was a holiday, and he
Intended to celebrate it in his own way.
Mary was nonplused and Jabez, after
going to the barn and attending to the
chores, returned TO the house to prepare
for his long walk. AS he entered the
kitchen he was startled to hear q moan
ing which came from the upper regions
He found that Mary had been stricken
with a sudden attack which she called
intermittent fever. Jabez felt her head
which was cool as his own. Mary men
toned that that was a popularity of that
particular ailment and Of her particular
self, and she also asserted that she often
had had them during the day, and they
always passed off during three or four
hours. JabcZ looked al his watch: it was
o'clock. Bcsignedly he took off his
oyercoat and descended TO the kitchen,
whore he ncrVOusly watched the clock
1t seemed as II the hour hand would
never get around to that much desired s.
At half past Mary descended and tell
ing Jabez that Mrs. Gilmore who lived
two farms beyond was going TO run in
with some delayed washing and adding
that she felt so much better that he
might leave at o'clock succeeded easily
in banishing him to his courtroom" up
stairs for u half hours reading. As
Jabez left the room Mary lighted the
large parlor lamp and placed il close

against the front window. Almost imme-
diately there was a sound Of shutting feet
on the side stoop. Jabcz heard it, but did
not move until the sound Of many merry
voices reached him. Then he came down
stairs and was astonlahcd to find the
Kitchen filed with his nclghbors and their
wives. lie realized that he was the vic
tim Of a Christmas surprise party-somo-
thing, incidentally, Of which he had never
heard. He looked for the one face he
wanted to see, but it was not there.
The evening passed as such evenings
usually pass-With senselcss games and
still more scnselcss wit" Jabc2 had seV-
eral times suggested that the guests
should so into the parlor but each time
the plan was opposed with seemingly I'M
necessary vehemence by his sister and
James Givens. Miss Amanda's brother.
At 10 O'Clock James announced that the
pleasures of the evening would be wound
up with the real surprise part of the par
ty. lie and Mary disappeared into the
parlor, whence they soon returned stand
ing guard, however, ut the door leading
into it from the hall, to say that each
person as the name was called was to
proceed into the parlor, where a present
would be found in the center of the room.
The person was then to pass out of the
other parlor door into the little hall at
the foot of the front steps, leading up
stairs, whore the wraps would be found.

ParOid
Roofing

Four things enter into the max
ing of a good roofing:
The felt; the sdturdtion; the
coating ;and the method of laying.
Paroid excels on all four points.
The felt is the foundation. II it
is not right to start with, no treat
ment Of any kind can make it into
a good roofing.
We know that our felt Is right
because we make 1t in our own
mills Established in 1917
We make it because we cannot
buy a felt elsewhere good enough
for Paroid.
Other manufacturers who buy
their felt in the open market
wherever they can get it cheapest
necessarily take big chances at
the very start.
We couldn't give you the money
back guaranty we do if we did
not make the complete roofing
under our direct supervision.
tarOlu TOOilnS Is not merely
dipped in a solution, but is soaked
in water prooflnS mixture Of
our own, which renders every
fibre Of it--through and through
absolutely water proof.
And then the coating. Paroid
is coated on both sides with a
smoother, thicker, tougher and
more flexible coating than is on
any other roofing made.
There is no room for doubt
about it. You need not take our
word for it. Use your own judg-
ment. Compare Paroid with other
kinds. You will find that Pdroid
is the only roofing that doesn't

the portrait of Jesus has been held
before the twenty million people
who are following the InternatiOn-
al System of Lessons. The gains
will have been incalculable if his
mind has been discerned and his
attitude to life assumed as a result
of these studies.
Too much time must not be
spent upon the incidents Of His
birth and infancy. They are rela-
lively unimportant. To dote upon
the star and the angels of the Ma
tivity is to go back to the child
age of the race which delights in
marvel. The wonder is not that
Jesus was born, but what He be-
came and what He said and did in
His manhood. The isolated IN
stance of His boyhood, standing
between infancy and maturity,
shows us that the ideal youth was
already discerning and adjusting
himself to the Divine will. Then
follows in course His inauguration
by public. baptism, His testing by
private temptation, and His choice
of official associates.
Two familiar forms suffice to
epitomize the public life of Jesus.
They are Words and Works.
In the quaint Racovian cate
chism the question is asked,
Whence had this Man this wis.
dom?" The answer affirms that
Tesus made frequent ascenslons to
heaven and received directly from
Deity the truths which He after
wards communicated to men. The
conception is too artificial to be
satisfactory, and besides Jesus
spoke with a self-derived authori-
ty. His formula was, "Nerily, l
say unto you. Then, too, it was
not necessary to go into heaven or
deep to bring the Divine-God
was with Him and in Him. Out
of this consciousness of oneness
with God He preached as with a
Divine commission. His message
has an authority that never IN
hered in ecclesiastical establish
ment or succession. He is the
true Teacher Of the universal hu-
man heart. His congregations
dissolved, but in each generation
they have been re&ssenbling and
have been receiving as if directly
from Jesus lips those words which
are spirit and life. There is mys-
terry about it-only the mystery of
goodness, love, and service.
The works of Jesus have also
engaged our attention for the year
Just closing. His works are His
words in action. He did what He

Gus samples you'll have a still bet

only flexible roof in a zero tenn

But even the best roofing must
be properly applied.
In every roll Of Paroid you will
find a complete roofing kit, with a
supply OF square, ust-proof,
waterproof caps. The only rust
proof cap made.
These caps are patented. You
get them only with Paroid.
Being square, they give you
larger binding surface and so
hold the roof more securely.
Being water-proofed on both
sides, they do not rust and cork
loose and cause a leak, as all other
caps do, sooner or later.
