JUST SAVED THE SITUATION
British RoyaIty's Narrow Escape From
What Might Be Called "Smply
Awful" Position.

When truth gets a fair inning she
rarely fails to be much funnier than
fiction. Strange to say, old England.
where truth is supposed to be always
dismally sober, now and then makes
quite merry record. A rector of the
Church of England, in a remote par
ish in Wiltshire, recently discovered
among his Pensioners a fine old fig
ure of woman, age one hundred and
four, the widow of an inukeeper. This
ancient dame has eight sons living.
six of whom have served in either the
army or the navy. The rector wrote
informing King George of these things,
and the king ordered a warm congrat-
ulatory telegram to be sent to her.
Just as the telegram was sent off.
the rector having received additional
testimony concerning the old un."
wrote again, explaining that she had
been twice divorced, and had not gone
through the marriage ceremony at all
with the man of her latest household
Another wire was promptly set at
work at the kings command. ordering
the postmaster at the other end to
stop delivery of the royal congratu-
latiOns, and that functionary had
barely time to grab the coattails of the
messenger with the bicycle as he was
about to make delivery.

Butterfly Decoration.

Many artists have employed the but
terfy in decoration, but neither brush
nor crayon is as effective as nature
itself. No imitation, however good,
can do justice to the gorgeous colors
of the tropical butterfly. One might
as well try to reproduce a rainbow in
oils. A most effective novelty-a but
terfly tray-was shown me yesterday
by charming North side hostess. 1t
was made on the same principle as
the tapestry tray. A glittering butter
fly, the spread of whose wings must
have been all of ten inches, was
mounted on a stalk of milkweed. The
pressed butterfly was then covered
with glass and Theoretically sealed in.
To say that the tray was stunning is
to speak very feebly of it's attractive
ness. With this objet dart as a CEN
terpiece a clever hostess could easily

II. "Increase Our Faith" wv. $40.
Such q program as that just outlined
must have staggered the apostles as
they thought Of their own inability so
ton reveals their sense of the impor-
lance, superiority and difficulty of his
ideals. AS we come into personal fell
lowship with our Lord that the eyes
of our understanding are opened and
we see our Importance and the neces-
sity of having him fulfil in us that
which is lacking of ais ideals. Their
petition was a recognition OF ability
as well as OF their need In response
to our cry he will supply, Mark 8:
2427. Nothing is impossible to him
". g., Phil. Alb. The illustration is
one easy to remember. The insignifi-
cant little seed of the mustard has
in II tremendous power of growth and
development, many thousand times
it's own weight and bulk, see Matt
1881, 80, because it is linked with
Gods tremendous laws of life, with
omnipotence. Our Lord contrasts
such power with the removal of a
sycamore tree: small wonder we re-
ceive such a vivid and lasting lesson
of the power of faith, even the weak
est faith. Faith is principle neces-
sary to overcome the obstacles in
the way of measuring up to his ideals
if 1t is of the right quality, it is equal
to the doing of the most mighty things.
Passing from this contrast Jesus uses
the parable which follows Tvs. 7-10).
The word but" would suggest an ap-
parent departure from this subject.
It is, however, a correction of any
false idea that may have arisen that
the doing of duty can be the cause
Of boastfulness or create any rights
whereby we may expect any special
reward for service. The disciples,
as has been suggested. realized the
difficulty of obeying his commands,
yet they knew that such obedience
would assure them the highest re-
wards of faith. His words implied
and warranted such a conclusion,
hence he warns them not to make the
reward the motive of their service,
