es must be prepared because every
one else is making special prepara-
ton, the whole purpose of these in
terchanges of courtesy is defeated.
Formality crowds out the real and
the sincere. Many young married
people live beyond their means in
their effort to keep up appearances;
they try to repay social courtesies
with entertainments as lavish or
more lavish. Each new display of
wealth and vanity sets new mark
and compels a more exhausting eff
fort.
About 20 years ago, Charles Wag-
ner gave to the world little book
entitled "The Simple Life" 1t was
an eloquent protest against mater
nalism that is making man the SER
want of his possessions-it was a
plea for the resurrection of man
hood and womanhood, for the su-
premacy of the individual over his
surroundings.
The Dependently Rich
Just as life is infinitely more i'm
portant than all the inanimate world
about us, so the independence of the
individual is more important than
the giving of pleasure to the sem
sual and to worshippers of the god
Of fashion.
How much money can one honest
lily earnl Only so much as fairly
measures the value of the service
that he renders. How much should
he desire to collectG No more thai
he can wisely spend.

dependently rich" 1t is mislead

done. and not to leave the other
undone." These are significant
words.
A Word to Nom -Churchgoers
Sometimes one is heard to say
that he does not regard going to
church as necessary; that he wor-
ships in the woods; that he does not
pray at certain times, but prays all
the time. Those who in such Ian
guage condemn formality and boast
of a superior devotion should read
the words above quoted.
While the mere attendance at
church may be of no value, if one
does not enter into the spirit OF
worship, there is no reason why one
should substitute worship outside
| for worship in God 3 house.
Christianity teaches addition rath-
er than substitution.
Worship is possible at any time
and anywhere; but those who wor-
ship outside also, while those who
chin to substitute outside wor-
ship for church worship often neg
llect to worship anywhere.
Christ's Rebuke Of the Vain
And SO those who attempt to sub
stitute occasional prayer for pray
or at stated periods are apt to grow
into the habit Of not praying a
all.
We ought to do both the forma
things and the things informal; W.
should not pass over either th'
small things or the great things;
Christian life Is large enough t.
include both.
Christ's next rebuked the vain
those who love the chief seats il
the synagogue and salutations in tn
market places.
In the course of His ministr,
Christ applied his philosophy il
many different directions. The re
buke administered to the Pharisee
is directed at a very permanent 81
viz, self-importanee. 1t could no
but be offensive to Christ, who
though supreme in merit, set HI
} followers an example in humility

the Master. He put the emphasi

Proof Of Christi Ddety
No wonder the Pharisees were il
8 ritated by His rebukes: no wondC
that they "began to urge Him VI
t hemently, and to provoke Him
: speak of many things: laying wa

The two brief passages from Luke
that give us the text for to-day
Bible talk present two distinct ana
similar incidents in the life OF the
Saviour.
The first tells Us of a visit to
home in which Christ was a FREE
ouent and welcome guest.
Ii was the home Of Martha and
Mary-sisters, who evidently were
quite unlike, as children of the same
family often are.
Mary, the more spiritual one OF
the two, sat at the feet of Jesus,
absorbed in His word.
Martha, who seemed to be more
practical-in the sense in which the
word "practical" is used by those
who place light estimate upon SEN
timent-was "cumbered about much
serving" Her question would indl-
cate little irritation:
"Dost thou not care that my SIS
ter hath left me to serve alone
Bid her therefore that she help me.
"The Good Part"
Martha was engaged in a very
necessary work, that of the care Of
the house, and if, as Luke's account
would indicate, she had less appre'
citation of the supernatural in Christ
it is not strange that she was vex'
ed at Mary's seeming indifference
TO the extra burden thrown upon he
by the entertainment of their Wis
Z it0r.
Biblical scholars have suggested
that Martha was determined to pro
, vide fine dinner, and that she wa
especially anxious on this. occasion
that the meal should be the bes
' possible.
i, Christ, who had taken advantag
of so many previous opportunitie
to teach a very important lesson
lesson that the world sorely need
at this very hour.
Martha, Martha said Chris
:, "thou art careful and troubled Nabou
, many things: but one thing is need
:, full: and Mary hath chosen the goo
part, which shall not be taken froi
her."
A Social Burden
il If in that day Martha was SO Ell
k crossed in the preparation of
r tempting meal as to complain c
a Mary's devotion to the Master, whs

EXPERT GIVES
ADVICE ABOUT
SKIING OUTFITS
Fred II. Harris Tells
Proper Equipment
to Buy

So many entirely wrong outfits
for skiing are seen about town
says the Brattleboro Reforner
that a word of warning and advice
has been issued by Fred H. Harris,
president of the Brattleboro Out
ing club, particularly to those who
are contemplating the purchase of
skis. His remarks pertain also to
those who have already and I'M
knowingly bought skis which are
unfit for use. Mr.. Harris says:
"ln buying skis, the question of
expense has to be considered. but
1t is poor investment to buy any
thing but the proper outfit.
"This applies particularly to the
fastenings which attach the boots
to the skis. If children outgrow
their skis, the fastenings can be
taken off and put on the new pair.
Thus, a good pair of fastenings
will last three or four years.
"The fastenings with the toe
irons and patent clamp on the
backstraps are the best. 1t is lust
as necessary to have the skis firm
ly attached to the 1eet as it is to
have skates securely cIamped on
to the shoes. The ordinary leather
toe strap going through a slot in
the skis IS practically useless.
Without the foot firmly and com
fortably attached to the ski, no
control is possible, nor can any of
the finer things m skiing, such as
Telemark and Cnristiania swings
Tin which Brattleboro boys are al
ready showing skill) even be at
temped. Without back straps, it is
self evident that 1t is impossible to
climb hills.
"a word in regard to skis. Buy
nothing but hardwood skis. Ash.
maple and hickory, in the order
named, are best. DO not buy hard
pine skis as they have no speed,
will splinter, will wear in corruga-
tons and are nearly useless. Buv
skis with single groove unless they
are intended for jumping. Keep
skis in a form when not in use.
Wax occasionally to make them
faster. Either use two poles or
none at all.
