CHILDRENS PULPIT
The Rose and lis Thorn

Master John was having a very
| trying time with his piano lesson,
He had practiced itf or more than an
hour during the morning, and for
nearly two hours since supper, yet il
seemed that he just could not master
it. "Oh, dear!" he pouted, 81 don't
see what | have this old hard lesson
for. / am not going to practice an
other minute" and he threw himself
against the piano and buried his face
on his arms.
He had hardly rested his head up
on his arms when he heard some boys
talking about a beautiful rose which
had blossomed on one of the kings
bushes near his palace. The king had
declared that the one who plucked
that rose could wear it as a prize.
The strange thing about it was that
even after it had been picked it
would ever remain fresh and become
more fragrant as time went on.
"Gee!" one of the boys was saying,
had it; then all the girls would want
to walk with me, and the boys would
all wish they had it. But then no
one will ever pick it out of all those
thorns. Why, he would get pricked a
sharp thorns."
John looked up and just across the
street from him he saw the rose.
There were many boys standing near,
all of whom looked eagerly at the
rich red flower Most of them step
ped up and reached for it, but hav-
ing received few thorn pricks, they
turned back saying that no one could
get it. However, one brave little fell
low worked away, until finally he
stepped back with the rose. Immedi-
ately the king came out, smiling
pleasantly, and pinned the flower on
the the little fellows coat.
John was surprised as he looked
around and saw the king standing by
him. would you like to wear one
of my roses ?" the king asked. Eyes"
John replied. "But why do they have
such thorns 2" "Ahlo smiled the king,
"those protect it from vulgar and
cowardly fingers. Only brave, cou-
rageous boys, who are not afraid to
endure hardship, can wear my roses.
You see, this rose really stands for
the mastery of ones lessons; the
thorns are the drill and drudgery that
one endures in mastering the les
sons"
The king laid his hand on johns
shoulder and would have said more,
but just then John felt his mother
shaking him as she said, "Why, John,
you have gone to sleep. You had bet
ter get ready for bed now and finish
your lesson in the morning"
How John did work the next morn
ing! And when he took his lesson in
the afternoon the teacher told him
that he was the only one Of all her
pupils that had mastered that lesson.
He was happy as he went home, and
he said to himself: From now on,
no thorn is so sharp or long that it
can scare me out"

Old Age

A man who is old enough to have
is fortunate if he is still
young enough to turn his disability
into joke.
A physician met a patient and ask
ed him the usual question: swell,
John, how are you today?"
"Gey weel, sir, gey weel," replied
John, cautiously, eff it wasna for the
rheumatism in my right leg"
"Ah, well, John, be thankful it is
no worse; for there is no mistake, you
are getting old like the rest of us,
and old age does not come alone"
"Auld age, sirl" said John, IL won
der to hear ye. Auld age has nothing
to do with it. Here's my ither leg
just as auld, and it's quite sound and
soople vet"

The Man Who Understood Emerson

Now there come to me many
Cranks, and they Turn themselves
about for my Inspection. And
have made Card Catalogue of them,
and Classified them by their Genera
and Species. And among them there
is Genus which / call the Cult of
Emerson.
And there came TO me one morning
man, who said, / understand Emer-
son.
And said to him, That is more
than Emerson ever claimed to be able
to do.
And he said, Nay, but under.
stand Him. / will read thee some
thing that he wrote, and show thee
the meaning thereof. And that
which he read to me was on this wise:
If the red slayer think he slays
Or if the slain thing he is slain,
They know not well the subtle ways
/ keep, and pass, and come again.
And he said, Doest thou under
stand that?
And / answered, Thou hast said
thou understandest it; wherefore dost
thou ask me?
AnQ ne Salu, IN OrueT LildI JHOu
mayest be taught. Behold, / will ex-
plain it TO thee.
And / said, Do it not, for l like it
better as it is. If / understand it /
might not believe it; and as it is, it
troubleth me not.
Nay, said he, but / will make it so
plain that wayfaring man, though a
Philosopher, can understand it.
Then he spake TO me for the space
of an whole hour, till bade him stop.
And he said, Now dost thou un-
derstand?
And / answered, yea.
And he said, Tell me then the
Meaning.
Now while he had been talking /
had taken a Nap; but | awaked as
Good as New or Approximately so.
And had not listened to him, but l
wrote some Poetry of mine own. And
when he was silent L read 1T to him.
And this was what / read:
If the near-thinker think he thinks.
And if his thought thinks it is
thought,
They know not Jupiter, who winks,
And says, l think this thought is
Rot.
And he was angry, and he departed.
And / wished / had done it sooner.

Today's S Poem
If 1t Must Come

III IL Must Come
If it must come
Lord, give us strength TO bear
It's red, red wrath, its sacrifice and
woe,
It's service and its loyalty and care,
It's bitter blight and blow.
If it must come
Lord, let US waver not
Before the gun-fire or the giving up
Of little pleasures, that must be for
In this high moment when the bitter
cup
OF life and struggle shall approach
our lips,
When dreams must wait, and all our
petty trials
Sink for the moment into dark eclipse,
While the brave spirit smiles.
If it must come
Lord, let us meet its call
With stalwart manhood as our faith
ers did
Who heard the echoes of the bugles
fall
Around the world, and took their
places amid
The foremost carnage of the bitter
years,
Glad in their service to be men who
knew
That even in battle and the salt of
tears
'Tis something to be true.

Asparagus Easily Canned in Homec


Housewives who have enlisted for
service in the food conservation cam
palgn may begin the preservation end
OF their program at once by canning
the excess of the asparagus crop, an
excess which in past, less exacting
seasons has often wilted in the gar
den. This excess, say food experts
IN the home economics department of
the Michigan Agricultural college,
can easily be put up by using a home
Gamer. Such a canner can be made
from an ordinary garbage can, wash
boiler, lard or milk can provided it
has a well-fitting lid. 1t should be
provided with a false bottom which
is an inch from the true bottom. This
false bottom may be made of galvan-
lied tin to which wooden supports
are nailed, or of laths held together
by cleat. It should have openings
In throug (which the hot water and
steam can circulate.
In canning asparagus, always sell
ect tender shoots, cut the day of can
ming. Sort and clean them. Steam
for fifteen to twenty minutes. Re-
move. Plunge quickly into cold wa
ter and leave for two minutes. Pack
tightly in a hot can either in full
lengths with tips up, or cut in small
Ter pieces. Fill only to within three
fourths inch of top. Add one level
teaspoonful salt to one quart can.
Fill in crevices with boiling water to
within three-fourths inch of top. If
using glass jars place rubber and top
in position and partly seal. 1t is
best not to use zinc top cans to can
asparagus. If using EZ seal or any
other cans with glass tops and wire
bales, place rubber and top in posi-
tion with bale over top, but do not
fasten down clamp.
Place cans in canner with boiling
water enough to extend two inches
above cans. Two tiers of cans may
be sterilized at once by placing a per-
forated rack over lower tier and plac- |
ing second. on top. Cover Gamer. Let |
come to boil; leave in for ninety min
utes after water begins to boil.
Remove cans, tighten lids. Invert |
to cool and test lids. If tight, wrap /
in paper to prevent bleaching and |
store. Always use new rubbers. If /
seal does not hold, examine top for
hicks or dents. If imperfect top, re-
place with perfect one, seal as in first /
place and put back in Gamer for ten
minutes longer; then remove and seal. |
In removing cans from Gamer, place /
on towels and away from drafts to
avoid cracking.

LADIES'! SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome
An easier way is to get the ready to-use
preparation improved by the addition of
other ingredients, costing about SO cents
a large bottle, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
thus avoiding lot of muss
While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we
all desire to retain our youthful appear
ance and attractiveness By darkening
your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sui phur
Compound, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark. glossy
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sui phur
Compound is a delightful toilet requisite
It is not'intended for the cure, mitigation
OF prevention of diesase.
