Mrs. Billy got so excited over the find
that she left her building and flew down
10 get some threads herself Between
the two OF them those robins got every
thread, and then they flew back and wove
the soft down into the nest. And all the
time she was weaving Mrs. Billy kept
saying, Where do you suppose those
threads came from" Did the fairies put
them there for us? I am sure they were
for us, but who put them there?"
But, of course, Billy knew no more
about 1t than she did, so he couldn't an
swer her questions.
The next morning right after breakfast
the robins started looking for more sup
plies so they could finish their nest; and
what should they find but more white
threads! Just as soft and fine as those
Of the day before and spread all over the
bushes as before.
They gathered them all up and finished
the nest in the best kind of style, then
Mrs. Billy said, II feel sure somebody
put those threads there for us-we never
had such soft clean white threads before
and I intend 10 watch and see who is

So next morning she walked up before
the sun and watched. And what do YOU
suppose she saw? She saw little white
haired old lady come out of the house.
In her hand she carried bit of cloth
which she raveled as she walked Then
she spread the ravelings carefully over
the rose bushes! Now | know my new
helper" sang Mrs. Billy. and she flew
right down and thanked the lady!

ZIP extra early and hustled around for

Billy couldn't answer such a sensible
question as that. so he set out with her
IA search OF their nesting place. And, If
the truth must be told. when he got
started he liked the nest-hunting job as

and enlightening, this blessing comes
to men from God. We Unltarians
hold that the love comes from God,

comes from Christ, the Son, and so
they worship Jesus, and often, alas,

But why not be brothers since,
after all, we both accept the Divine

plan we're generally adopted argues the opening up
of unoccupied land would proceed much more rapidly
In laying out FARMS each community would be grouped
around some center, preferably shipping point

then constitute sort Of town. Though farther
removed from other than neghbors in the city they
would j have much the same relations to each other
The houses would be placed for convenient access
There should be cooperative arrangements for selling
farm products and perhaps also for buying farm sup
plies Both for business and social purposes much
could be done TO add the convenences and pleasure
of country life.
Undoubtedly the chief obstacle to modern poneernl
is the loneliness OF pioneer farm. And that obsa

European socialists have a plan for compelling the
observances Of treaties As forth by Edgar Mil

of Geneva Switzerland the way make treaties sacred

legation toward a vioator Of &c."
How this plan would work is exemplihed by the case
of Belgium He explains that, when Germany violated
the treaty guaranteeing Begium's neutrality all the
other nations that parties to that treaty would
have turned against her. Belgium would have been
aided only by France and England but also by her
neutral neighbors. It would be perfectly proper he
argues, Holland let the British pass through her
territory attack Germany in punishment for treaty
Germany had broken
It seems follow, that the way insure the peace
of Europe would be have all he naions sign treaties
guaranteeing others territory and essential rights.
And then any of the nations dared commit any az
eression against another, the rest would automatically
combine against her under the sanction Of law
