Leo Tolstoy ON THE GREEN STAFF
Manuscript of the Russian Idol Second Instalen

they all live in enn1ity. they are all
sick, they all suffer and die Why IS
this so? Why has God created men
so that they all desire what is good,
but all suffer?
The teachings Of Christ answer this
question Christ said He felt sorry for
men because they suffered and were
like scattered sheep without a shep-
herd and He called them to Him and
promised all of them salvation. Come
unto me all We that labor and are
heavily laden. and 1 Will give you rest
Take my yoke upon you and learn Of
me for 1 am meek and lowly in heart
and We shall find rest unto your souls"
Christ tells people that all their suf
ferings came because they did not I'M
derstand their position, because they
imagined what was not. and forgot
who they were. IF they understood
their position and thought of their des-
tination then their lives would no
longer be painful but full Of joy
Talents are given US, like life itself,
that We may make use Of them. Who
soever does not work In life, loses ev-
erything that the Lord wills. but he
who works receives ever more and
more.
The same idea is expressed in the
parable about the unjust steward
whom the master left in charge Of
his house. Instead of looking after the
house the steward began TO enjoy life
and waste his masters goods. Then
the master punished him and sent him
away.
In such parallels is taught how man
must not understand his position to be,
but in the parable of the laborer re-
turning from the field it is taught how
men shall understand their position in
life
But which of YOU" it is said in this
parable. having a servant blowing or
feeding cattle will say unto him by
and by. when he is come from the field,
go and sit down to meatT and will
not rather say unto him make ready
wherewith I may sup, and grid thy
self, and serve me, till 1 have eaten
and drunken: and afterwards thou
shalt eat and drink?' Doth he thank
that servant because he did things
that were commanded him? L trow
not. So likewise ye when We shall
have done all those things which are
commanded you, say. we are unprof-
liable servants, we have done that
which was our duty to do
Christs whole teaching consists in
this that men understand their posi-
ton, their destiny we'll.

The Brussels Girl

"HE young girl OF my country is

8. Z. = : 800 ~s &. = : :.
By Count Leo Tolstoy.

What does it mean, then to fulfill
the will of God? It is taught that God
has revealed Himself to men through
Moses, Christ and Buddha.
God has never once revealed His
will. His commandments to one man
or congregation OF men. God always
and continuously reveals Himself to
all who seek Him. He reveals Him
self in the heart of every man. Every
man feels God within himself as the
fountainhead of life; the principal Of
life which is not material, but which
exists within the human body and
which has neither measure. nor weight,
neither color nor taste, nor smell. nor
beginning, nor end. This principle Of
life in man is limited by his body and
is only part of theAII, but in this part
man may recognize the All, which is
God.
But when he knows God. he also
knows His commandments. Gods
commandments are written in no book.
but in the life and destiny Of men. 1t
seems to men that they do not know
the commandments or are mistaken
about them, but this only seems so be-
cause they shut their eyes and do not
want to see their position or at least
do not want to see it, as it is. If any
body comes to a railroad station, sees
a car standing there, enters that car,
imagines it to be his house, and. max
ing up his mind to spend his life in
it, arranges 1T as a comfortable home
for himself, then he will surely be as
tonished and feel sorry, when the car
begins to move and goes to the next
station. where he is told to get out
with all his bag and baggage. The
man ought to see and realize that the
car is no house, but simply means
transportation and that to ride in 1t
you must fulfill certain conditions:
pay your fare and submit to the rules
of the road. Most people misunder-
stand their position IN life in the same
way OF do not, understand 1t at all.
Everything depends upon people un-
derstanding their position and their
destination right, and all mistakes are
made because they do not understand.
All men desire to live their lives in
happiness, in love and harmony. they
do not want to be sick, do not want TO
suffer or die, but at the same time

AN EASTER PARTY
FOR LITTLE ONES

A most attractive way to send
out the invitations for a chill
dren's party this time of year is to
inclose each note in an egg shell,
the top of which has been cut of
with quick blow from a sharp
knife
After the shell is duly washed
and dried and the note written on
tissue paper is inclosed, the top
is pasted again into place and the
crack will be barely observable.
Be sure to mention the words
Easter opening" in each note, as
this gives the name of the party
and the key to the fun of the
afternoon.
Another and rather simpler way
to prepare the little receptacles
Is to blow the contents from the
egg shell and write the words
Easter opening" with the date
and address, on the outside.
At the feast which follows the
games each child can find his
place at table by means of a toy
chick or duck which wears around
its neck tag with the name of
the child written on it. Or chick
ems of cotton batting made at
home and issuing from natural
eggshells broken at one end will
cause great delight. Write the
name of the child on the shell.
At each cover. too. have a sur
prise shell, which may be of pa
pier mache, cardboard or silk,
just according to what one wants
to spend, as all kinds, at all prices,
are offered in the shops at this
season. If gifts in these shells
would make the feature a little
too expensive, write funny rhymes
on cards and substitute them.
Any surprise, however simple,
meets with high favor at a child
ish Incorporating, so that it is
foolish to pay more
than one can afford in such case.

Today's Bird Story for Children


one kind of woodpecker "The Car
penter." He has no saw, no plane,
no square-only a sort of chisel
but with that one tool he can
make as clean hole in a dead
tree as you could with a two-inch
augur. He simply pecks and
pecks with his bill, and that bill
is so hard and so sharp that is cuts
right into the wood.
Sometimes a woodpecker will
pound on dead snag a tattoo
that sounds like steam riveter
That's when he is prospecting for
something to eat. For he lives on
the grubs and other insects that
live in dead wood, and by beating
tattoo and then listening, he can
tell whether or not there are any
insects in the wood. The tattoo is
to stir 'em up. When he is actu-
ally at work, cutting a nest in a
dead tree or boring into a snag
for food, he doesn't make much
noise.
All woodpeckers are somewhat
red-headed. One of them, the
"red-headed woodpecker," has a
head that is all red. Then there
is the flicker. with his yellow
lined wings and speckled breast,
the black and white downy wood
pecker, the hairy woodpecker, like
an overgrown downy, and, rarest
of all, the great ivory-billed wood
pecker of the southern cypress
swamps.
Tomorrow we shall tell about a
bird butcher.
