A Book to Read.

book that no minister or Sunday
school worker or Bible student can af-
ford to miss is The Jesus Of History
by t. r. Glover, published by the AS
ISOLATION Press 1t is a brilliant pres
entation in an original manner Of a
way OF approach to the gospel records
which gives fresh and inspiring points
of view. DIR. Glover unites sound
scholarship, keen terse analysis and
vivid statement in highly unusual
manner. Few recent books so illumi-
nate the familiar story, nor is there
lack of timelincss with reference to the
war. The ninth chapter, The Christian
Church in the Roman Empire, has a
statement of the relation of Christiani-
ty TO other systems of thought and
life that is most significant for our
day.-Rev. Richard II. Clapp of Brat
tlebOro in the Vermont Missionary.

trees TO help make dining-r room tables
as well as cherry juice which folks can
drink who sit at dining-room tables"
Yes" said Daddy, 1.-The wild black
cherry is about one of the most useful
members of the whole tree famiiv.
Its cousin, the wild cherry, is greatly
enjoyed by birds who simply love TO
eat the little fruits.
Another cousin, the choke cherry,
is a tree filed with very bitter fruit
but the birds like <the choke cherry
trees almost as well as any other and
flock about any they may find. The
choke cherry tree is also very short
and small.
THE fashionable and rich cousin
is the sweet cherry which is cultivated
in this country. And these are the
cherries which We all like to eat BEST
1--WE do" said Nick.
And you didn't think" said Daddy,
that I had surprise for you. After
telling you all about the different
kinds of cherries I have in little box
over on yonder table samples of the diff
ferent kinds of fruits and then in the
box further away | have some sweet
cherries so we may all have party
The children exclaimed with delight
when they saw the delicious cherries
and as they looked at the different
kinds, Nancy said
well, after all. though / have eat
en- many sweet cherries, i still think
that the wild black cherry is the most
useful member of the family, for it is
used for furniture, medicines, cooling
drinks for the hot. hot summer, and
has such beautiful dropping leaves"
Il agree!'' said Nick.
"And l apologize" added Nancy,
that l thought by its name it was
quite a horrible, horrible tree!"

WOMEN FLOoRWALKERs.
Have Tact and Quickness That Enables
Them to be of Service to Shoppers.

Department stores are opening a new
branch of employment to women. In
many of the big shops in the large
cities OF the United States women are
taking the places of foorwalkers who
have been called into army service
Personality counts for so much in
this line If work that especial care is
exercised in choosing the women. Most
of those now taking the men s places
have been promoted from other posi-
lions IN the stores. Some of them have
been heads of departments and others
have acted as commercial travellers. 1t
has been found so far that the women
iioorwalkers develop extreme alert
ness and efficiency. They are quick TO
grasp the needs of the shoppers and
have the tact to meet the usual prob
lens that come up in the course of a
busy day. AS rule, the older women
are chosen for these positions, which
command good salaries.

WILD BLACK CHERRY.

I'm going to tell you a story to-
night commenced Daddy, about the
wild black cherry tree and family"
We'll. of all the wicked sounding
trees said Nancy, 1.-The wild black
cherry sounds about the worst. Fancy !!
He has wild in his name and black
as though he We're a creature who
wanted TO brighten people"
He sounds rather good to me-"
said Nick, who always loved cherries
better than any other fruit and
thought that the very sound of the
word cherries was rather luscious!
We'll. he is good old tree" said
Daddy. "and | will surely have TO tell
you about him for his name seems to
have made Nancy think of a wicked
tree and Nick of u tree giving wonder
full cherries to boys, ehg'
Nick laughed and Nancy said, do
tell US about the tree. 1t sounds in
teresting at any rate
So Daddy began. In the spring the
Wild black cherry tree is very beauti-
full with its lovely blossoms-for cher
~ trees do blossom about as exquisite
ly as any OF the spring trees. Then
when summer comes the blossoms turn
into fruit
The wild black cherry tree is very
handsome. Its foliage is something
Ike that of the willow, dropping and
looking very dainty and lovely. Its
bark is rich and soft, but best of all
as Nick would agree-is the fruit
which is used for making all sorts of
delicious goodies, especially wild cher
~ juice!
Then medicines and tonics have
been made from the fruit and bark
and roots of the wild black cherry.

Well and happy. Many medicines have
parts of the old wild black cherry in
them.'
Il like to hear about the regular
cherry juice best" said Nick.
Yes, / guess | do too" said Nancy.
Wei, well, well, We'll change the
subject then. But still when we are
SO well and strong we don't need to
mind talking about medicines. It's
only when we have to take them that
we mind talking about them too, or
when we are afraid we may have to
take Them

only partly agreed and as If they
thought medicine wasn't the most
pleasant of subjects in the world. Dad
dy told them of something else the
