II was sufficiently surprising that he
should be found 80 frequently In the
society OF peasants. and of women, ana
patronage OF the wealthy and the
Of children. instead of counting the
great; but 1t was perfectly outrageous
that he should have become the friend
Of thieves and harlots-and these re-
spectacle persons very frequently ex-
pressed their astonishment and their
Indignation at his strange conduct.
And Jesus said to them. They that
arc whole need not a physician. but
they that are sick" They had never
grasped the fact that Christ was a
great physician, and that his business
was not to 90 to those who were in
perfect health, but TO 20 to those who
were i'll; and. nrst Of all. to those
whose case wa& most desperate.
Now In this Christ has left you and
me an example that we should walk
In his steps: and II we have the mind
Of Christ We shall follow the wander
ing sheep into tho wilderness, and
shall never rest until we ind It. Our
business Ia to go to the prodigal sons
OF God. and to persuade them to como
home again: and. however far OH they
are, we must follow them to the dis
tant country, and we must refuse to
come back without them
It 10 q remarkable thing in this
parable that Christ makes no provision
for defeat. He does not say what we
arc to do II they refuse to come in.
He takes it for granted that we must
overcome II we are in earnest. Christ
everywhere assumes that we shall not
fail It was said by a great Latin
historian of Alexander the Great that
the secret of his marvellous victories,
nv which the world was brought to
his feet, was this: he wisely dared to
ti,ink nothing OF imaginary dangers.
All sorts OF reports reached him with
regard to the difficulties OF invading
Asia, and 30 forth. but he put them
all on one side. The devil Is always
ready to exhibit 4 few ghosts OF diff
ficulties to terrify weak saints. Let us
despise the ghosts: there Is nothing
in them. We cannot fail II our heart
is full Of love to God, and Of SYM
pathy with our fellow-Christians- The
only real hindrance to the progress OF
the gospel is unbelief In the form OF

"Speakfng EVIL"

We are warned both in our dis
cipline and In the Bible against this
great evil that is doing so much to
injure the usefulness of so many men.
And yet, not only are those who are
sinful and have no regard for the
truth, engaged in this nefarious busi-
ness, but many devout followers or
Christ. either in their ignorance or
thoughtlessness. catch up a rumor
against some well-meaning person.
and instead of investigating or getting
a statement from the accused. con-

Prayer as Fellow
ship With God

This Ia the highest conception of
prayer. We are not simple beggars in
the sight OF God; we are his children.
It Is not our business to see how much
we can get out OF God; 1t is our privi-
lege to do all we can for his interest.
We are not simply servants with sell
Ash petitions: we are sons and daugh-
ters OF the living God. Prayer IL far
richer and bigger conception than ask
ing for what we need and want: II 10 .
splendid reach OF soul after tho Over
Soul: an abandonment OF self and a cor
responding exaitation of the higher
self; a setting of the currents Of being
toward God. Our prayers are often
lifeless and arid and sterile because we
go to God simply to ask. to beg. to get
something. We lose sight OF the fact
that prayer is a giving as well as a
getting, and 1t Is more blessed to give
than to receive. Suppose the child re-
fused to have anything to do with its
parents until 1t wanted something.
Suppose a child never spoke to its par
ents except to ask for gifts and receive
the same. That would be n very unsat-
isfactory child indeed, because COM
munion and fellowship between parent
and child constitutes the normal and
natural relationship. It 10 likewise

When we realize that we are here,
at the particular time and place that
finds US now. because we fit here. be-
cause we are a part OF Gods great
plan and here and now, IL our place,
1t makes US more than ever solicitous
to do our work-the work ordained
for u.s. the work that will go unfln-

that there ts thing under heaven
that God holds In greater respect than
good. honest work. Work is the
means that God has given us for self
expression In the world. Our work
is Gods message to the world through
us, and we have no other chance to
express It. The allotted time in which
any man can work is short. This
thought should be to us an Inspiration
to greater endeavor. The thought of
death and its certainty should never
be held as threat or a menace to all
us with fear and unit US for our best
work. We are then In bondage
through fear OF death. The night Is
Gods az we'll as the day. In life or
in death we are his, and serve his
plans. We cannot work without in
ward quiet, without the rest OF faith.
Rastlessness. fear. and anxiety Grip
pie our powers and unfit us for high
endeavor. 1t Is ours to work, not to
how long we shall stay nor to fret our
selves with useless anxiety about the
results we see.

poor work we weaken our powers
and cripple ourselves Just that much.
We need make no excuses. Our lives
are simple eur tasks are plain and
God is full OF compassion and knows
our weakness.
This Is the age of action in which
we live. We are alive to great world
obligations. and the demands on any
one who will work were never greater
than today In choosing our work
for each day we have to use judg-

we must resolutely refuse to waste
our powers in useless fretting over

God gives us the day. pure and
white and clean. to I'LL with our SER
vice, and. when the darkness falls and
the day Is over here, II goes back to
God with its record. there to remain
.in his keeping throughout eternity.
A resofute keeping to our own tasks
gives us no time to complain Of cir
cumstances or to find fault with the
work Of our neighbors. Each day
should rise with high endeavors and
go bravely and honestly on its way

peals to her, for her conception of the
"one man" has changed
She likes the man who has begun a
career; young man who talks OF
most anything else besides football
and college days; who is just at that
age when he is a trifle Indifferent as
to whether he makes an impression
or not. The woman who has reached
thirty appreciates the bachelor; not
the fippant kind, nor yet the man
about town, who is a conspicuous fig
ure at all prominent affairs, and who
is much sought after by mammas with
marriageable daughters.
When she nears forty, it is the wild
over who appeals to her, especially
if he has little family which needs
woman's influence and care-if he has
not passed the five and forty mile
stone on life's pathway. He is neither
too young nor yet too old, not over
rich, yet well-to-do.
Tango or hesitation waltz may have
no charm for him, yet he enjoys con-
certs, theaters and coy little dinner
parties He appreciates sensibility in
a woman. yet likes her to enjoy life
and brightness. He appreciates the
woman who is fond of our-of-door life,
and can put on her hat and accom-
pany him anywhere on five minutes
notice and whom his friends wives
like to visit. This type of man suits
a woman of forty in every way. When
she has reached another decade of
years, she likes the man ten years her
senior, be he widower or bachelor.
But, IL an additional ten years were
added to his, age he would be all the
more pleasing in her eyes. He would
be sympathetic, companionable, con-
tent to sit by the fireside with her,
and in dressing gown and slippers,
recount to her the experiences of the
days when Time was young with him.
She likes him because he is content
with her only, her ways, her dress
