Extract from sermon lsat Sunday.)
The "Kingdom Of Heaven" was the
theme OF Christ's teaching from the
very beginning Of his ministry. In
Matt. 10: 44-46 he compares the King
dom Of Heaven to treasure or val
liable pearl. In verse "A we see how
some people find treasures while going
about their daily work. This man
mentioned here realized the value of
the treasure though and went and
bought the field. He showed good
sense, for when he found something
worth while he put forth the proper
efforts to secure it. He was willing to
sacrifice everything else in order that
he might gain possession Of the treas
urc If people todey would only realize
the value OF the Kingdom Of Heaven
they would be more willing to sacri-
flee some other things that are of no
value to them in order to do Gods will.
Many people admit the value to CON-
munlty OF the Bible and the gospel OF
Christ but they are not willing to sacri-
flee in order to be true to its teachings.
When man Of business realizes the
value OF business proposition he is
willing to drop all other attractions in
order to make success OF that bust.
ness; and when men and women real
| ly realize the value OF Christ's teach.
ings and Of his kingdom they will be
willing to drop the trifling things oil
life and make a success of the Christian
life.
In the second parable Christ shows
the attitude of the man who starts out
with the determination to seek the bes
things in life, He goes about it in 6
business like manner. Ifpeople woulG
use as much business sense in theil
religious life as they do in any otheV
life interest, more would make sue
cess of the Christian life. You canno
make a success OF anything unless yo,
are willing to sacrifice. The business
man makes many sacrifices as he ap
plies himself to his business; and S,
does every man who makes success
of any certain line OF work.. No on
need think that he can make success
OF the Christian life and yet do as h
pleases in this life. He must be willin
to deny himself many things that other
count pleasures but in SO doing he Sc
cures the pearl OF great price.

became less enthusiastic about it,
And. If the truth be told. he was sore

and buy cookies and 'a1l-day-suckers.
"All of sudden, Uncle Will re-
membered that in few weeks he
would have to write to Papa's friend
and tell him how much he saved. So
well. then, he realized how ashamed
he would be to have to write that he
had saved but very, very little bit.
My, how he did work those next few
weeks, running errands, selling papers,

doing every thing he could think of to
earn money.
And. would you believe II, at the

"All right. Kid" he rasped out. TITS

Bill Courtland. the chucky third
baseman, opened the inning with a
smoking single to center that was
good for two bases This seemed TO

little, for he gave q base on balls to

pitcher but notoriously weak hitter,
as his position Of last on the batting

Then 1t was Kenncth's turn to bat!
"Hoo-ee! Hoo-eel Wowl" shouted
the crowd. Look who's here Look
what the cats dragged in! Say,
Flossy, does your Mamma know

But Bud" Allison was on the Job.
AS Kenneth passed him, on his way
to the plate, bud" put one arm over
his shoulder and walked along with
him.

low, fierce tone. "They haven't got

fee and move the runners up a peg

Kenneth nodded slightly, but said
never a word.
Bravely, amid the taunts and jeers
from the side-lines he marched up to
the plate. his bat clutched desperately
in his hands and a grim, scared look
upon his face.

bronze buckles on his neatly-shined

the gentleman-thus making fifty dol

morning after his arrival he and Uncle

Red Filler! That afternoon they
came home with it. 1t was a beauty
and, oh, how proud Uncle VIII was
of it

to pay off the rest of what he owed
on his new bicycle-for he was enjoy

able to run many more errands on 1t

Little Dorothy rubbed her tiny

Mamma and smiled.
Mamma" she asked, will you let
me port to you every month and-and
will you give me dollars like that
gentleman did?"
"Sakes alive, Dorothy!" exclaimed
Mamma, with a laugh. ITS nearly

But Mamma did, all the same. And

would have liked to.
"One evening, an old, old friend of
Papa's-and a very rich man-came
to dine with us and seemed to take
a great fancy to Uncle viii. He soon
learned that he was just crazy for a
bicycle, as you children say nowadays.
Uncle Will told him all about it and
even described the particular Red
Filler he had in mind. The gentleman
listened very attentively, put his hand
into his pocket and drew forth a
bright silver dollar.
"tHere, William he said. is some
thing to start your savings account

morrow I'll send you up brown

long 1t will take you to save up enough
to buy It.
Uncle Will was simply delighted.
He thanked the gentleman over and
over again and vowed he would save
every penny and every nickel he got
hold of. And the following day, sure
enough, the little brown china-bank

TOOLS OF THE ESKIMO

the Eskimo has a good deal of Dig
ging to do, in making his snow
and ice house, and in making holes
through very thick ioe through which
he catches seal and fish. After catch
ing these animals he must cut them
or chop them up and prepare them
for eating, and in the case Of the seals,
he uses almost every part Of them for
some purpose or other.
In tool set "A" we see a pick, the
head Of which is of bone, while the
16-inch handle Is of hard wood. No
tice tho handy grip-notoh in the mid
die OF the handle, underneath. This
keeps the front hand from slipping
back upon the rear hand, and is quite
novel scheme The head of this pick
Is lashed to the handle by rawhide of
wairus. which Is put on wet and when
dry tightens wonderfully, thus binding
the head to the handle very securely.
Just below the pick is stone-headed
hammer. with short bone handle.
These are all drawn in proper pro-
portion to one another. At the left
OF this hammer is small knife, the
blade Of which is of stone and the
handle of hard wood. AS the Eskimo
house-lamps and cooking dishes are of
soapstone. the hammer shown, would
be very useful in making such dishes
by the aid of stone chisel of very
hard stone, such as jade for instance,
which is a favorite with the Eskimos.
In set "B" we have an adj, used
to hollow out "dugout" canoe in
certain places, or to use as a scraper
to get the bark off the outside. Below
the adj Is pretty fair copy of our
kitchen chopping knife, which is used
to chop up meat in wooden dish as
we make hash"

be shame to dirty up his pretty col
lar!"
And with that he suddenly hurled
the ball-almost straight at Kenneth.
1t seemed, for he had to jump aside
mighty quickly to keep from being hit
on the head.
Kenneth's face blanched as his
knees trembled. There was no doubt
about 1t, the Colbyville pitcher was
trying to scare him away from the
PLATED

The pitcher wound up and sent
daisy right over the heart Of the plate.
Kenneth, remembering Buds" in
structions, "choked' his bat and
caught the ball on the side Of 1t.
But. alas, it rolled foul.
Strike oner" the Umpire called.
AHA! So that's your game Is 1t.
Flossy!" cried the pitcher.
And then. turning. he signalled to
his infield to "close in"-that they
might better handle bunt. And the
infield-every last boy of them JOSH
ing the poor batter and telling him
what a mothers darling he was
closed in, way in, much farther than
they should have.
Then--something seemed to happen
to Kenneth. Openly-just as plain as
day-his knees wobbled under him
and wild look came into his eyes.
There was no doubt of it-he was
scared green!
The ball came whizzine IN to the
plate.
Kenneth clutched his bat like a
drowning man holds to a straw. closed
his eyes and took one wild, desperate
swing. All recollection of Buds" in
structions to bunt had flown from his
mind.
"Zing! Right on the nose the bat
caught the ball and sent it hurting
over the heads of the "closed-in" in
field. 1t landed just little back of
the short-stop's regular position--and
II that player had been there 1t would
have been an easy 'out."

good pals. Ever play baseball, Kid?"
And that started 1t.
In just one minute Kenneth felt as
much at home with the Captain-this
crack player on the best team in the
whole town--as though he'd known
him long time.
Yes, Kenneth had played baseball
but in France the only boys he had
to play it with were three other Amer

with him In one of the smaller French
towns.

As the Colbyville captain, grouchy
and sore, phrased 1t afterwards,

The whole Red Lot Team was shout
ing at Kenneth to cut out for First.
But-well. when he did recover his
self-posseesion. the ball had beaten
him there by yards!
After that, there was nothing to the
game. The unusual incident seemed
to put the whole Colbyville Team up
in the air. Kenneth's "out," of course,
brought the head of the batting list
up again. And they pounded out
four more runs before the side was
retired.
And, you may be sure, with that
lead, "Smoke-Balp Thompson attend
ed to the enemy In their half-indeed,
they went out in one, two, three order.
OF course, Kenneth's single was a
rank piece of luck, scratch hit"
of the worst sort. Butt turned the
trick. And isn't that. after all. all
that's required?
Moreover, it just goes to show what
an uncertain thing this game Of base
ball really is and what big figure
the element Of luck often cuts In 1t.
