In Snug Quarters

Within thes ark Noah and his
three sons and Noah's wife and their
three daughters-in-law are very
comfortable, although their quar-
ters are somewhat cramped with the
phoenix, the lions, the tigers, the
deer and pigs and the other beasts
and birds, all Of which must have
their proper food at proper intervals.
It is a problem to provide rations
for tigers for forty days. However,
the wife Of Noah is a provident
natron. Before the windows of
heaven were opened, rows and rows
Of Jars containing bean oil for cook
ing had been placed neatly on their
shelves. SO altogether they are a
happy and contented family, for Chi
nese households have been taught
from their infancy the gentle art
of living together in a tiny space
without friction. Shut within their
four walls they are willing to wait
until the fountains Of the deep are
stopped and the rain from heaven is
restrained and the ark rests upon
the Mount of Ararat.

their cave to show one of the wise
men the plant Of everlasting life.
When all the beasts after their kind
and cattle after their kind and every
creeping thing after his kind and
every fowl after his kind and every
bird Of every sort are sproperly set
tied in the snug cabin, Noah and his
family are ready for the Flood.
The Flood is a very real and ter
ribe thing to the Chinese artist, for
every Year the overhowing rivers
claim countless victims. 1t is not
difficult for him to image the tor
rents tearing down the mountain
slopes, the houses uprooted from
their foundations and the terrified
inhabitants scrambling for safety to
the high places. The neighbors that
laughed at Noahs cautious prepara-
tions are now fleeing in vain from
the wrath that has overtaken the
world and few even cling pitifully
to the ark. But the great pink
doors are firmly fastened. The stall

the tigers and lions and all the
beasts and birds and creeping things.
They rejoice when they see once
more the green, fair land and the
rainbows bridged across the blue sky,
which is a good omen for the earth.
Noah and his sons build an altar
unto the Lord and place thereon a
buffalo cow as sacrifice of sacri-
fees; for the buffalo COW is one of
the most useful and uncomplaining
Chinese beasts Of burden. And they

+ \ NORTH Fukien Province there

n n NORTH Fukien Province there
dwelt an artist who painted
pictures on silk for the gentry
of his little village. The people in
this secluded hamlet nestled amid
the hills had never seen automobiles
or airplanes, nor did they take the
long journey to Shanghai to watch
The great steamers come in laden
with merchandise and messages
from the ports OF the world. But
they knew the words of Confucius
and Lao-tsze, and the lived and
died with simple dignity as their
father had done before them,
One evening the artist, who had
oeen working all day on a memo
rial portrait, strolled out into the
dark, cool street 10 refresh his tired
soul. The tiny white church of the
foreign God beyond the tea shop was
brilliantly lighted. The artist stood
a moment in the open door. The
young missionary was talking most
eloquently; he was not preaching,
but he seemed to be telling stories
tnat were as fascinating as those
recited in the bazaars. Almost in
spite Of himself the artist sank un
obtrusiYely into an empty seat. For.
the firS time he heard some of the
beautiful old stories of the Bible,
which have held the people of the
West enthraled for two thousand
years. And the artist returned to
his home and made pictures Of the
story Of Noah and the Flood, and of
me parallels of the Lost Sheep and
If the Prodigal Son and Of many
others that we're in the Book of the

The ProdigaI Son

lhe prodigal son has asked for
his inheritance. He can no longer
endure the dull routine of the little
provincial town in which he had
been born; he wants to try his
wings IN the great city, within
whose walls are gilded teahouses
and singing girls. The father and
his two sons have come together in
the great reception room. The walls
arc hung with paintings on silk Lv
famous artists Of long ago and with
panels decorated with the lanvha.
