can we learn from this incident? lies
son VIII)
Period of Popularity.-The greatness
of John the Baptist was seen when he
sent his disciples to Jesus. His work
was finished as soon as the Messiah
had come. In what way did Jesus COM
plete the work Of the Baptistf Who
were the men whom Jesus called to be-
come his disciples? How did they diff
fer from each other, and in what sim
gle respect were they united? Uesson
IX.) There never has been a preacher
who attracted people like Jesus. The
time and place were of little conse-
quence provided the congregation was
present. 1t seemed as though .e was
necessarily engaged in his labors of
love. Virtue went out of him morn
ing, noon and night. The way In which
he recuperated himself was in the sea-
son. Of quiet meditation and prayer In
the solitudes of the desert and noun
tain. Why did Simon and the other dis
ciples interrupt Jesus on one occasion
when he was in prayer? How did he
explain the purpose of his mission to
them? What results followed from the
cure of the leper? Iesson X.) On the
sudden close of his itinerant preaching
In the villages he returned to the city,
and 1t was not long before the people
came to him to hear him preach, to re-
ceive the benefit of his healing and to
witness his miracles. where there's a
will there's a way" Illustrate this say
ing from the story of the paralytic.
Why were the words of forgiveness
that were spoken to this sick man re-
sented by the scribes and Pharisees?
How did Jesus demonstrate his right
to offer forgiveness? Oesson XI)
Jesus came to seek and to save the lost.
In this mereiful ministry he adopted
lean that were calculated to accom-
plish his purpose, but both means and
end harmonized with the spirit of sym
PATTY that was so benefcially shown
by the Son of Man. 1t was so different
from the hard and harsh ways of the
professional teachers of religion, who
had scarcely a kindly thought for the
coarse crowd. How did Jesus show
that he was the friend of the despised?
How did they appreciate his generous
interest in them? Hesson XII1

An Amusing Party Psstlme Known as
the Dutch Concert.
In the game Of Dutch concert" all
the players sit down. Each person
makes q selection of an instrument,
say a flute. a guitar. a violin, a drum.
etc. and each makes the motion ap-
propr1ate for playing the instrument
he has chosen and initiates to the best
Of his ability the sound of the instru-
ment.
The leader Of the band has been
chosen before the beginning OF the
concert, and as 500 as all are seated
he rises. gives the directors signal to
begin, himself starting some familiar
tune, such as Yankee Doodle" "A
Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight"
and other old songs. As the playing
proceeds the leader may take from any
player his instrument and go on play
ing II in his place.
But the idle player must keep a sharp
eye on the leader, for the moment that
he ceases to play the player from
whom he has taken the instrument
must Immediately take his instrument
again and resume playing. If he is
not prompt in this he is excluded from
the band. and at the close Of the con-

HOW A CHURCH MADE MONEY

A church guild made money by a
bazaar where nothing was sold over 81
and where most of the are were %
or 80 cents.
The New York Times tells how it
was exploited that this was to be no
''holdup' in the name of charity.
Everything was donated, so the sales
were gain. The workers understood
that high prices could not be charged,
so put their wits 10 work for inexpen-
sive novelties that could be quickly
made.
There was a housekeepers' table
crowded with donations of home made
cake, preserves, mincemeat. pickles,
pies. rusk, beaten biscuit, and eve
small @olds of cranberry jelly and
s%auerkraut. There were cooking uten-
sis sold with but a few cents adj
vance. and all kinds Of work aprons.

Making Love to a GRANDMOTHER
By DOROTHY BELLE PERKINS

Jean Draper waltzed into the shabby
little room with a copy of the morning
paper in her hand. "There!" she cried
exultantly. Read that-read 1t aloud,
child"
The 'child" was much older and
larger than the young who adj
dressed her and far more sedate. She
had another name-Mary Brandon-but
1t had fallen into "~innocuous desue-
tude' since the advent of Jean, who
mothered every one, from the milk
mans boy to the minister.
you read it," Mary said. "My throat
is like a nutmeg crater this morning"
The animated look faded from Jeans
face and the %distracting little dimple
in her left cheek stopped work imme-
diately. "Oh," she cried re%gretfully. II
forgot our cold! You can't do 1t, after
all. Just listen to this: 'Wanted-An
educated elderly lady to read aloud to
young man. Apply PHI Dale avenue,
8 to 10 a. M"
Mary Brandon looked up from the
buttonholes she was making at SC
much-or so little-a dozen and laughed
hoarsely.
"Since when," said she, "has your
child become an elderly lady, Jean?'
"Oh, l know you wouldn't do as you
are, but you make up so beautifully
Remember when you were Barbara
Frietchie at the Whittier social? You
have that wig now. haven't you, child?
But you're hoarse, and So
and so you can apply" Mary inter
rupted her.

She worries over her house. her chill
dren and her clothes. She seems un-
able to throw aside even in her lighter
moments worry's persistent note. and
as a consequence she often becomes a
wreck.
Every woman who has driven her
self to this point should suddenly
take an earnest resolve and refuse to
worry. The nerve ridden woman says.
"oh, that's all very well, but how can
one keep from worryingy" BY self
discipline. the exercise of a strong
will and the cultivation OF a true
sense of values is the answer. These,
combined with sane living and proper
hygiene. will effect a cure.

To escape the torment Of nerves is

1t is admitted by physicians that the
most important factor In the direct
causation OF exhaustion is the
emotional life OF the individual. Worry
Is the most persistent and nagging OF
sill emotions. and where IL is allowed
to become the dominant note a break
down Is inevitable.
