Not Common People

THE common people heard Him
gladly" That phrase may be mis-
leading. What Mark says is not that
the common people," but that the
much people heard Him gladly"
He does not mean to refer to a low
er class of people. The Bible never
calls this sort of people common,
and it was not the lower class OF
people that came to Christ in the
crowds. There was the Pharisee, the
Sadducee, the ruler, the publican,
the poor man-all classes were
drawn to Him. Where He came caste
straightway melted away. When He
came into Simon's house, the poor
harlot, who had never crossed the
threshold before. went right in and
came to His side.
For this reason Jesus can no more
be the head of labor church than
Of a capitalist club. He has nothing
to do with men in sections. He deals
with man as man, and when He
looked out upon the crowds He did
not see a Pharisee or a publican;
He saw a man, a son of God by crea.
tion. He saw as God saw.-ReV.

Mahogany Furniture.

When mahogany furniture Is In a
very bad condition the only method
of restoring 1t is that of first remov-
ing the old finish, and the old meth
cd of scraping and sandpapering is
the best one. After this is done, eth
er wax, varnish, or oil may be ap-
piled. Dents in hard wood may be
filled in with colored wax. White
enamelled furniture may be cleaned
with cloth dampened in warm wat
er and little whiting If necessary.
At the end 1t should be thoroughly
rubbed dry with soft cloth. Gilt
furniture and gilt frames may be
cleaned with paste made of whiting
and alcohol. This should be rubbed
of before 1t hardens. Natural-col-
ored wicker furniture can be scrubbed
with brush and warm soap suds.
Painted and enamelled wicker should
be treated like white enamelled fur
niture. This sort of ware, however,
is quite unsatisfactory because the
enamel. chips and the paint wears OF.

people in the early church for plac-

nificant and pathetic that from In.

from our missionaries that certain
people who went out to these heather
lands expecting to be able to mirac-
ulously speak the language Of these

Significant, also, were the words of
Hudson Taylor, the sainted founder

asked why he did not have his mis-

piled: Because a knowledge of

sionaries get that while studying the

Notes For Workers.

Here are some good suggestions for
League workers:
Find your work where Christ has
put you"
Seek to make at least one spot OF
the earth brighter by a deed OF
yours"
when you begin to worry, do NOT
forget that God still has control of
everything"
"Christ has redeemed and lifted
you up, that you, in turn, may lift up
Others"
If you truly love God, your heart
will be filled with His Spirit, and you
will be obedient to His commands"
THE true Christian is like the sun,
which pursues las noiseless track, and
everywhere leaves the effect of his
beams In blessings on ALL"
zone has we'll said that our chief
concern should be, not to obtain
higher places, but to fill we'll the

Vanished Floors.

When vanished floors have be-
come blackened in spots and there
are numerous heel marks, they need
standing finish, and must be treated
with extreme measures. The old fin
ish must be first removed, and when
the floor is revarnished see that the
liquid is of good quality. and that
several coats are given. A waxed floor
needs only another coat of wax and a
thorough polishing. Grease spots
can often be removed with turpentine.
1t is best to remove spots from rugs
or carpets as soon as they are made.
Spots made by sticky substances may
be removed by sponging them with
alcohol and salt, pint of alcohol to
teaspoonful of salt. Grease or oil
spots should be covered with wet full
ler's earth. and allowed to stand for
two days and then brushed OF.
French chalk will remove fresh grease
spots. Cover the spots we'll, then
spread brown paper over them and
apply moderately hot iron.-New

mally small. do you seem He has
boen a prophet, for He has nhown how
small we are. Two sides, the dark
and the light, Jesus has shown us,
but He has not alone given us view
TO the dark side by showing us our
smallness. He has also brought up
the light side and with full hopeful
ness not only tells us how small we
are. but shows us our largeness. He
tells us of the power and potentiali-
ties within us. "Ye, therefore, shall
be perfect in love" You are a sin
ner, but you may be son of God.
Jesus is glorious as q prophet of God,
for He tells us how It may be II we
live as He lived.
Not only prophet of God and
men. Jesus sought to expand the rev.
elatlon of God, and beneath II all,
with prophetic note. gave the ideal re-
lationship OF life, that of father and
son. Did time permit we could con-
slider the many lights between God
and man. Jesus came and in His ear
Tier years lived in simple communion
with His Father, before He gathered
about Him His twelve disciples. He
prayed in the mountains and prayed
for the forgiveness of the sins of the
world. He set the right relation be-
tween Son and the Father-a per-
sonal relationship. He never lost
hope In all His suffering. but trusted
in His Father. In His life He would
tell us that the infinite relation is that
Of Father and Son.
Not only would Jesus teach us the
ideal relationship between God and
men, but He lived the life between
man and man. Should we follow the
precepts of Jesus. this relation OF
man TO man would be one of sacred
example. Follow the teachings OF
Jesus and get all the power and po-
tentiality that is in you. Develop self
by developing others. Find life by
losing it. II will be a victory for self,
the inner self. BY the Word of God
we are one, or non-existent. Jesus
tells us of Gods relationship.
How can any one ask. knowing
these things and Gods relationship to
man, how He effects our salvation?
Can any one be convinced and say,
"Can Jesus save Me?" He demands
of us our love. He demands that we
follow Jesus and do what He did. He
demands that we follow Him as Jesus

calls us up from our worship of gold
and the money gods which we serve.
He called to the people, love Me more,
and they worshiped Him. He calls to
us. love Me more. BY Thy mercy we
will hear Thy call and will serve Thee
by love and service best of all.
