SD HODA" means Rose" And this
rose has kept its bloom and
beauty for more than nineteen hundred
years. Time has had no withering ef
feet Upon it. 1t Is still as sweet and
fragrant as ever.
Rhoda was a slave. The word rem
dered 'damsel' means a female slave.
She served as a maid in the home Of
Mary, the mother of John Mark and
sister of Barnabas. Who would have
thought that the name Of this simple
maid would survive through all these
centuries!
What will men not do to make their
names great and immortal? We have
seen men toll and struggle through
years and years. often risking life and
fortune, in order to win a place in the
worlds Hall Of Fame. BY one little
act this servant girl made her name i'm
mortal. and never knew she had done it.
Little did she dream that this that she
had done would be spoken of as me-
mortal to her throughout the whole
world wherever the gospel was preached"
The incident with which her name is
connected in the twelfth chapter OF Acts
Is the only mention We have OF her.
On this occasion, as she must have on
many OIleTS, she pIONSO IclSclI ioS al
and true to her post of duty. She
merely answered the door bell. But at
the moment the great apostle Peter was
at the door. He had just escaped from
prison, and was no doubt being pursued
by Herod's swordsmen. # Rhoda had
not been prompt in attending to her
maids duty. Peter might have been dis
covered and captured before he found
shelter in the home of Mary. A serv-
ant in Mary's house, she had accepted
Mary's Savior as her Savior. AND
by her faithfulneSs as a servant she
rendered a signal service to the Chris
tan cause.
Why has the name of this poor slave
girl been preserved and this act COM
memorated in the immortal records OF
the Bible? 1 think God means TO teach
us that things which We are wont to
call great and those which We are
wont to call small are regarded by
Him. not according to their apparent
magnitude, but according to their mo-
tive and reference to Him. Many deeds
that attract no attention on earth at
tract the attention of all Heaven, while
many that We loudly applaud pass un-
noticed by Heavens recording angel.
in a golden Jar in order 10 diffuse It's
fragrance. And here God has given us
this rose planted in lowly vessel. in
order to teach US the sanctity and glory
of the humblest life when devoted to
Him. The rarest flowers of sainthood
often grow in crude jars.

it doesn't make any difference which
it Is; in either case it will taste just as
good. Tender young PoSsum is treat
haven't enjoyed for long time. This
fellow has headed for Paddy's pond.
I ought to find him playing about on
the shore there"
With his nose to the ground, Yowler
moved forward swiftly, but cautiously.
Not leaf rustled or twig snapped
under his feet. He slipped under
bushes and ferns without sound. like
a shadow. The scent of young PoSsum
was strong in his nose and his mouth
Watered. The eagerness of the chase
filled him and he forgot everything else
That silly little fellow hasn't even
tried to hide his trail" thought he. Il
am glad 1 happened to run across it
before Reddy Fox or Old Man Coyote

my place that Possum still might es-
cape by taking to tree, but that won't
help him any now. There are no hol-
low logs or holes in the ground for him
to get into over in this direction and
I can climb as we'll as he can. That
little Possum is as good as mine this
very minute. I'm glad l thought OF
coming over here to Paddy's pond to-
night. I'll be in sight of it in minute

He was right In minute or two he
came out on the shore Of Paddy's pond.
There it lay as smooth as a mirror in
the moonlight and like a mirror re-
f1ecting the image of sweet Mistress
Moon looking down from high above.

paused only long enough for a hasty
look along the shore. He saw no one.
so with his nose to the ground again
he began to follow all the windings Of
Grunty's trail along the shore. The
scent grew stronger. His mouth watered
more than ever. He must be very near
that young Postum now. The hunt
was almost at an end.
He paused for another look ahead
and caught sight of something moving.
just beneath the lowest branch of a
young tree just little ahead Of him.
At first he couldn't think what it was
Then he saw that it was the young
Possum hanging by his tail from that
branch. Yowler grinned. 1t was the
end of the chase. That little Possum
was within easy jumping distance from
the ground for such a good jumper as
he was With his eyes fast on that
young Possum up in the tree. Yowler
began to steal forward rapidly and
heedlessly Never once did he look on
the ground beneath that tree. and so
he failed to see little fellow in a
black coat with a bushy tail tipped
with white who suddenly turned to face
him.

ness not as bad habit or an
i evidence Of "stubbornneSs," but
as perfectly natural mani
festation of the person whose motor
centers are the opposite of the right
handed individual.
Because of the greater number Of
right-handed persons, the poor infant
whose tendencies were all in the op-
posite direction has heretofore led a
harried existence. He was shamed and
scolded and even whipped for insisting
upon making use Of what his mother
considered to be such an awkward
hand One cruel father related with
great glee that he tied up his sons
left hand until eventually he succeeded
in making him right-handed.
These parents have usually been
blind to the after effects of such a
forcing process. Adults who are now
aware of the more striking effects of
the forced use of the right hand have
been able to trace some of their own
nervousness, lack of nimbleness and
perhaps inclination toward stammering
to this apparently simple change.
Authorities are constantly urging par
ents not to make any effort to upset
left-handedness. Up to a certain age
babies use both right and left hands
Unfortunately After this time, the
right-handed baby shows a preference
for that hand. and the left-handed
baby persistently changes everything
from the right to the left hand. If
he prefers this hand, he should be al
lower to use it to spoon up bis food
to rattle his toys and later to draw
and cut and write.
The left-handed person looks awk-
ward to us, but his awkwardness Is as
nothing compared to what it would
be were he forced to use his right hand
One mother said that she urged her
children to use both hands, letting
ferred to use for finer, more intricate
work The result is that her left
handed boy uses his right hand for
holding his eating utensils, but makes
use of his left for painting and draw
ing. at which he is adept.
Not only the parent, but the teacher
as well. should be aware of the speech
difficulties and the nervous ailments
with which she saddles the child when
she deprives him of the use of his
natural hand. The teacher who re-
fuses the eft-handed child the privilege
of writing with his left hand puts an
insurmountable obstacle in the way of
his writing and makes his life nervously
complicated.
We should first of all erase the idea
that there is anything queer or inferior
about the left-handed person. The diff
fculties he encounters are all Of our
own making. If we allow left-handed
children to remain left-handed, we may
find in time that there are as many
left-handed individuals as right-handed
ones. Heretofore we have put so many
snapS in the Way of the child remain
ing left-handed that we are in no posi-
tion to say positively that the race is
naturally predominantly right-handed.

had but a single meal but his music
meant much to him, and helped him to
forget his hunger. His ability to play
the piano won him position as teacher
in the conservatory while he was still
in his teens.
In 1888. when he was %. he gave
concert in Paris. Those who heard him
called him a genius. "A new CHOPIN
has arisen" they declared, referring to
the Polish French composer who had
won a place among the masters OF
music.
Three years later, Paderewski made
tour of the United States. giving con-
certs in many cities, and adding to his
fame
Paderewski composed minuet for the
piano, and it became famous; but his
greatest honors came from his ability to
play. He proved that he could make
the piano do almost anything but talk.
In 1919 Paderewski became premier
Of the newly formed republic Of Poland.
He held Office for not quite one year,
then crossed the Atlantic to live IN the
United StateS-on an estate ne had
purchased in California.
In 1890 he started on a concert tour
through the United States. He was
then 10 years old. In 1881 he returned
to Poland.

upon investigation you find they are
gills. In order to swim. the house
holder Jerks his legs rather vigorously
and he moves along.
Water flows in the front door through
the gills and out the back door You
can see the rhythmic movement and
understand why the water is kept
moving.
The caddis worm is vegetarian. He
grows plump in his silklined castle
and often a fish, seeing him. makes
a dart toward this tender morsel. He
gets the house, which is likely to make
him i'll, but over in corner. out of
sight, the clever caddis worm is busily
engaged spinning silk and making
another caravan.
After several months in the water
the little boat is anchored securely to
a plant stem. Silk mesh is woven be-
fore the doors and the little occupant
wrapped in pupal silk, rests. In
short time the caddis fly, still clothed
in his waterproof garments. cuts his
way through the silken drapery and
climbs the stem. The skin splits and
the liberated one flies away.
He seeks lights and is a fire wor-
shipper. Many caddis flies lose their
lives In this way. Their parchment
like wings are easily singed and, OF
course. the little creature dies.
They are dull brown or gray. Their
wings fold over their back. forming
roof. Unlike the moths and butter
flies whose wings are covered with
scales, they have fine hairs instead.
The eyes are black and beady and
they move their antenna incessantly,
in order to get impressions. They walk
in such a fashion as to appear kneellng.
The mother caddis f1y goes 10 a
stream nearby and on the stem of a
plant or on a stone in the water she
fastens two masses of eggs. They are
inclosed in a gelatinous green sub
stance that keeps them together.
Sometimes the mother makes a diving
bell OF her wings and swims about IN
the water looking for suitable loca-
tion for her children.
As they have no economic impor-
tance, little IS known of their life his
tory. Scouts. here is your chance!

In this day and generation, when

when a pleasure should be given the

who has not failed to do the things OF
next Importance in the usual rounds OF
her housekeeping.
The woman who wisely selects the
matters which are most pressing, to

woman who will find she actually has
good opportunities for pleasure with no
qualmS of conscience lest she has neg
