OF the experience. One realizes that
such a story as this tends to take
on additional details IS II Is handed
down by tradition before being re-
corded. But the simple directness
of the story Is striking. We might
easily grasp the fact OF the spiritual
! appearance OF Jesus. but II Is not
SO easy 20 grasp the idea Of his
bodily form and OF the spiritual pre-
sence being capable Of receiving
food.
Disciples Faith Revived
Perhaps 1t should be said. quite
frankly, that all such speculations
and materlalsstic questionings are
apart from the spiritual interest or
the record. The important fact IS
that the disciples experienced n real
consciousness or the presence OF Je-
sus which revived their dropping
faith. requickened their religious
experience, and re-established tho
trust that they had had In Jesus
OF Nazareth as the Redeemer or Is
rael, and the Savior OF the World.
Must not faith come to us in
much the same way? We shall not
see the bodily form accompanying
us on the daily way. but If the
quest Of hearts is rs real and
sincere as that Of these disciples who
were on the way TO Emmaus, we
we shall undoubtedly experience the
reality OF the presence Of the Mas
ter and know with assurance that
he Is not dead but living. The depth
and reality OF that experience does
not depend upon the outward mani
festation. nor does the power OF the
Master depend upon external proof.
The evidences Of his presence in the
world. and OF his power. are, af-
ter all. as real as they were in days
gone by
The Power OF Faith
Only the other day / sat beside
a man with a remarkable expert
nee Of Christian life and achieve
ment. / talked to him and heard
him talk. He had Just come back
from the most terrible scenes OF
the remote ADMINISTRATOR districts
Of China. He had gone up into areas
that were infested by bandits where
no traveller was safe and where
not even the authorities OF the law
could penetrate. Yet In this region
he had carried in great sums of
money without losing a dollar and
large quantities Of food among starv-
ing people with only very slight
loss.
What was the power that this
mar had2 1t was the power OF a
sublime faith and a complete con-
~secration that gave him unlimited
courage. The risking Of his life was
nothing, and even violent men re-
spected him as they realized the
completeness OF his unselfishness
and his courage. A life Ike that
made the Master as real as he was
To these men at Emmaus. One could
not sit in the presence OF that man
and hear him talk without feeling
that the Master was near. 1t Is the
embodiment Of the spirit OF Christ
in the souls OF those In whom he
lives today that is the surest evil
dence Of the Resurrection and of the
fact that Jesus who was crucified
on Calvary Is the eternal Christ,
living forever to guide and inspire
us.

They are emotional, quick tempered,

Household Methods
BY BETSY cALLIsTER.

The question Of social obligations Is
something that 1t is wiser to think
about than to talk about in your social
activities. If the Browns have had you
to dinner or II Mrs. Jones has had you
for cards on one or more occasions,
you naturally feel that you ought to in
clude them among your dinner or card
table guests some time In the near flu
ture.
But IL you are wise and socially tact
full you do not make Mrs. Brown or
Mrs Jones feel that you are inviting
them for the simple reason that you
wish to return obligations or to be So
cially quits Your real reason, of course,
is not so much that you want to have
your social debts Cancelled as that you
want to maintain the friendship of
people who have entertained you and
that you feel you ought to do your
share.
1t is always mistake to be too haSty
or too systematic in the mattsr Of re-
turning social obligations For instance,
If number Of persons have at different
times entertained you at dinner, 1t
would be foolish to assemble exactly
the same number of persons at dinner
at your houseASimply to return obliga-
tons when they might not be in any
way congenial. Occasionally one is
vited to one of the obligation paying
parties There you would meet people
who would probably not get together
under any other circumstances-peopl
Of varying taste and varying culture.

The great charm Of hockey Hes In
the endless variety and never-ending
amount there Is to learn about it. No
two games are ever alike. II keeps the
mind and body in constant state Of
activity.
"A great advantage Of the game Is
that you do not require much equip
ment. and what you must have need

The chief features to look for In a
stick are balance, weight and spring.
1t is important that the weight be suit
able to the age and strength Of the
player. The maximum weight for girls

ounces Il o useful weight. With this
you can learn TO play In every part Of
the field.
Hockey fosters all those qualities Of
good spOrtsmanship characterized by

leadership and respect for the rights

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

1t is safe to say that most people are
extraverts, at least in some degree, for
extraversion means sociability. Most
persons entertain a great Difference fol
others, especially for groups.
The adolescent period between IA
and 100 is the time when extraversior
shows up strongest. Then the indi-
vidual makes his contacts with groups
Then about 80 per cent of the church
population Is made. Most boys begin
to take interest in clubs and gangs.
while girls get the idea they would like
to be missionaries or nurses or some
thing else of a similar social nature.
The following traits characterize the
extravert:
/. Tends to become a public servant;
the United States Congress is full OF
extraverts.
2. Rarely puts forth new ideas, but is
quick to follow and apply the ideas OF
others.
8. Usually versatile, and this helps
him get out of difficulties.
4. Interested in outdoor games that
attract large crowds.
S. Goes regularly to church or other
organization, and is restless until he
gets hand in running it.
6. Likes to debate and will take either
side of any question.
T. Frequents restaurants, clubs and
theaters.
g. Does a great deal of thoughtless
gossiping about his neighbors
0. Always agitating some social re-
form.

" you viii have hard time con-
" vincing a bug-chasing farmer
or insect-harasSed gardener,
l. that the verse in the Bible
about man having dominion
over everything that creepeth' is true
He agrees rather with the entomolcgistS
that the insects ruled first and they are
trying to get back their possessions.
l cannot see why the insects don't
use discretion. Without the farmer to
raise the Juicy sweet corn for him and
his great family, what will the corn
borer do? Possibly start a bread line
toward the wheat fields.
The grasshoppers seem to live 10 hold
conventions in States which have not
refused them entrance. If all the wheat
growers are starved what will these visi-
tors Subsist on? They are so determined
to kill of the very ones who are work
ing to provide them with food. AS far
as I can see, they are mighty short
sighted.
st. John got even with the locusts by
eating them, and our little friend, the
honey bee, furnished the honey. Her
family did not starve and has -four
iShed even to this day
The cankerworm takes first place in
number Of references to insects in the
Bible-17 Of them. 1 think they dubbed
worms ana gruDS Dy tnlS name. NO
doubt. from all l can find, many Of
these so-called cankerworms were the
grubs of beetles. Knowing that there
are $50, 900 species of the beetle family,
believe that some of them were busy in
hose days.
The clothes moth was q problem, and
as wooden was used extensively many
garments must have been destroyed
There is no mention of moth balls and
dry cleaning as preventive, but the
warning of not having too many gar
ments on hand leads one to believe they
did not have these conveniences.
There are 13 mentions of the locusts.
When a man was inclined to break the
law and could not be brought to time hc
was not told that he would be arrested
or fined. The greater punishment was
held over him, and that was q wit from
the locusts. This seems to have been
enough to cause the man to accept their
terms.
Joel surely had his troubles with the
insects. First the Palmerworm came
along. Before they could get another
crop in or salvage the last one the locust
arrived Then followed the canker-
worm, and the writer says: The cat
erpillar took the rest" Joel had his
