"WHEN HE HAD SPENT ALL"

Once upon a time there was a man
who had two sons. One day the
younger son said to his father. "Give
me the portion Of your estate that be-
longs to me and let me go out into
the world for myself"
The father. thinking he was doing
the best thing for the boy, granted the
request. Soon the young man was on
to a far country to make good in the
great world of affairs.
AS time passed by this young man
became aware he had made some mis-.
takes, as many Of us do these days.
Here are some of his mistakes: He
thought all great opportunities and
blessings we're In a far country: he
wrongly invested his possessions: he
helped to bring on hard times by do.
ing nothing.
But one day he sat down to think
the matter over and to his utter sur
prise he discovered he had spent all
and was on the eve Of being in want.
Although this was a natural conse.
quence, yet II was a new experience
for the young man.
Whether or not 1t is natural or un'
natural, men and women are in want
today. To supply this want in this
community is the work undertaken by
the Federated Christian Charities.
