The First Wayfarer Lays His Pack
Aside and Falls in With Friends
The little hall in which he found
himself was the "office" through which
all men must pass who come as guests
to Hart's Tavern. A steep, angular
staircase took up one end Of the room.
Set in beneath its upper turn was the
counter over which the business of the
house was transacted, and behind this
a man was engaged in the peaceful
occupation Of smoking corncob pipe.
An open door to the right of the
stairway gave entrance to room from
which came the sound of deep. sono-
rous voice employed in what turned
out to be conversational solo. To
the left another door led to what was
evidently the dining room. The glance
that the stranger sent in that direction
revealed two or three tables covered
with white cloths.
"Can you put me up for the night?"
he inquired, advancing to the counter.
"You look like feller who'd want
n room with BATH" drawled the man
behind the counter, surveying ihe ap-
plicant from head to foot. (Which we
amt got" he added.
"I'll be satisfied to have room with
bed" said the other.
"Sign here," was the laconic re-
sponse.
"Can I have supper7"
"Food for man and beast" said the
other patiently. He slapped his palm
upon cracked call bell and then
looked at the fresh name on the page.
''Thomas X. Barnes. New York." he
read aloud. He eyed the newcomer
once more. "My name is Jones-Put-
nam Jones. I run this place. My fa-
ther an' grandfather run it before me.

"Just the same you shall not have

"Get in behind. I shall sit with the

IF anyone had told him that this
rattling, dilapidated automobile-ten
years old, at the very least, he would
have sworn-was capable of covering
the mile in less than two minutes he
would have laughed in his face. AL
most before he realized that they were
on the way up the straight, dark road
the lights in the windows of Hart's
Tavern came into view. Once more
the bounding, swaying car came to a
stop under brakes, and he was relax:
ing after the strain of the most hair
raising ride he had ever experienced.
Not word had been spoken dur
ing the trip. The front-windows were
lowered. The driver-an old, hatchet-
faced man-had uttered single word
just before throwing in the clutch at
the crossroads in response to the
young woman's crisp command to
drive to Hart's Tavern. That word
was uttered under his breath and it
is not necessary to repeat it here.
The wayfarer lost no time in climb
ing out of the car. As he leaped to the
ground and raised his green hat he took
Il second look at the automobiles look

was an old-fashioned, high-powered
car, capable, despite its antiquity, of
astonishing speed in any sort of 60

wind and rain, "don't let him drive

you're getting wet," she cried out,
thrill in her voice. "Good night
and thank you'll"
"Look out!" rasped the unpleasant
driver, and in went the clutch. The
man in the road jumped hastily to one
side as the car shot backward with a
jerk, curved sharply, stopped for the
fraction Of second, and then bounded
forward again, headed for the cross
roads.
"Thanks!" shouted the late passen-
ger after the receding tail light, and
dashed up the steps to. the porch that
ran the full length Of Hart's Tavern.
A huge old-fashioned lantern hung
above the portal, creaking and strain
ing in the wind, dragging at its stout
supports and threatening every in
slant to break loose and go frolicking
away with the storm.
He lifted the latch and, being a tall
man, involuntarily stopped as he
passed through the door, needless
precaution, for gaunt, gigantic noun
taineers had entered there before him
and without bending their arrogant
heads.

"Hark! Do you hear-doesn't that

hoarse honk Of an automobile horn
rose above the bowling wind, and an
instant later two faint lights came
rushing toward them around a bend in
the mountain road. Better late than

once more.
He grasped her arm and jerked her
out of the path of the oncoming mo-
chine, whose driver was sending it
along at mad rate, regardless of ruts
and stones and curves. The car ca
reened as it swung into the pike, skid
ded alarmingly, and then the brakes
were jammed down. Attended by a
vast grinding of gears and wheels, the
rattling old car came to stop fifty
feet or more beyond them.

Urged to action by thoughts of his
own plight he hurried to her side and
said:

When Life Grows Broader,

God does not count prosperity as
we count it. Our sense of proportion
Is largely shaped by our experiences
When life is quiet and sheltered. and
the stream runs smoothly. we notice
every ripple and magnify every small
obstruction. We are fully occupied
with our work, our small worries.
Then comes some grief. calamity. or
new responsibility which suddenly
changes everything. Our old interests
are dwarfed and look so petty that we
wonder that we ever allowed such
trifles to burden our souls. BY such
experiences life grows broader and
higher and takes on new values. We
have new standards of measurement
for our fellow men as well as QUE.

Being the son of God he is one in ma

II. Two Disciples Following Jesus
(vv. 35-3O.
AS result of the Baptist's testi-
mOny. two of the disciples leave him
and follow Jesus. At Johns request
they looked. This look was sufficient
to induce them to follow Jesus. A
sincere look upon Jesus is always
sufficient. John did not become en-
vious Of Christ's success, but re-
joiced in it (John 8 3:26-29). All Sun
day school teachers should so witness
that the pupils will look to and follow
Jesus. This is the whole method, the
sum and substance of salvation.
III. The Disciples Abiding With
Jesus wv. 3s. 39).
Seeing the disciples following him,
Jesus made inquiry as to their object.
Their reply showed the desire to go
apart privately where they could dis
close their hearts to him. He invited
them to his abode, where for the re-
mainder of that day they enjoyed sweet
intercourse with him.
~. The Disciples Bringing Others
to Jesus wv. 4O-42).
Having found by experience what
fellowship with Jesus means, they go
at once and tell others of their price
less treasure.
l. Andrew brings Peter wv. 4O-42).
Peter was Andrews brother true
brother who has found Christ will go
and tell his brethren. The proper
place to begin witnessing for Christ Is
among ones kinfolk Uuke S:39).
(2) Philip brings Nathaniel (vv.43-
45). He witnessed to him concerning
the messiahship of Jesus. He told thea
that Christ was he of whom Moses and
the prophets did speak. Christ is the
sum and substance of the Old Testa-
ment.
The disciples invited others to come
and see. They knew that If they
would but put Jesus to the test they
would believe. Christianity courts In
vestigation (John 7:17).

Federal Board Estimates That
$4,000 Will Have to Be
Fitted for Vocations
1856 ALREADY IN TRAINING
Government Works on Four Yea,
Program, but Funds Are Needed
to Complete PIans-6oard Re-
views 1000 Cases a Day.

MISUNDERSTANDING to overcome
the handicaps of men injured In the
war the federal government is
striving to place the vocationally DIS
abled soldier back In the economic
ranks of the country. able to compete
with other whole men and to earn
an independent income for himself.
According to Information just made
public by the federal board for vo-
cationaI education 1t is likely that
as many as 10000 men who served
In the war will have to be re-elu-
Gated. either vocationally or occupu-
tionally.
Under this plan the federal board
is now working on what is practi-
cally n four-year program, although
appropriations SO far have been made
only up to July, 1920. In another
month, 1t is estimated, 1000 men
will be approved to 20 into immediate
training with the opening for the
fall terms of the professional and
technical schools of the country. The
10000 or 10000 men disabled in the
service of the country will all be
placed in training for various lines
of activity and nearly all of them
will have completed rehabilitation by
the summer of 1923. BY far the ma
jority of the men to be rehabilit.. ed
will have finished their retraining, it
is expected. within II year or two
years. some of them in less than six
months, and will be back on their
feet in that time in professional and
industrial ranks.
May Extend Work.
So far no provision has been made
by Congress for rchabiitnting men
whose disabilities do not amount TO
a vocational or occupational handi-
cap. II is said by those best Informed
on reconstruction legislation that CON
gress may yet be asked to provide
some means of compensatory train
ing, as well as the compensation al
ready paid through the war risk bu-
reau to men who have simply suffered
physical disabilities, without economic
loss to them, in their countrys service.
To carry out such n program, it is cs-
timated that the federal government
would have to eXpend upwards of
half a billion dollars.
Up to the present time the vOca-
tional education board has got in touch
with some $4,000 men and has actual
ly surveyed and interviewed 110,l35
soldiers, sailors and marines injured
In service during the war. The ma
1Orty of these will not be able to OBJ
tain retrainlng under the act of con-
gross as it now stands. even with re-
cent amendments.
All of the men more than 10 per
cent disabled will receive money com
pensation to the extent to which they
