A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Making the Useless Useful.

Making the Useless Useful.
II beseech thee for my son
Onesimus, pho haue begotten in
in my bonds: Which in time past
was to thee Improbable, but no1D
profitable. ."-Philemon, 10-:1.
TINE man who can make the USE
less useful. or the useful more
useful, Is a much-wanted man |;
i he is the man who keeps the
wheels Of progress moving;
wherever he appears he Is hailed as a
benefactor.
A man walked through the New
England woods, found very undesir-
able grape. and took it and worked
with it until. 1t has become the delicious
Concord grape of today. Mr.. Burbank
took many fruits OF little or no value
and gave them rolue as a food. 1t is
a great service to turn an Improbable
thing into something profitable. They
are real benefactors who render such
service.
Such service in the realm Of things
Is most worth while. 1t is something
more worth while still to take un-
profitable human beings and make
them profitable. That is what Paul
did with Onesimus Onesimus was a
thief who had pilfered the property of
his master. He had run away and was
adrift in the city of Rome. Paul met
him and led him to be Christian,
which brought about a complete refor-
nation and changed outlook on life.
After that Paul used his good offices
to reinstate him in the home and serv-
ice Of his Christian master. Philemon.
0f
not be rendered He took one who
was a moral liability and made him a
useful member Of society.
Carlyle said: "Humanity's greatest
duty is to give an account of itself
and to vindicate itself under heaven"
Yet the world is full Of failures, full
of men and women who are not CIV
ing an adequate account of themselves,
who are not indicating their existence;
SO far as we can see they are worth
less and useless. But these who have
missed the way and failed can be re-
deemed and made valuable to society.
1t is high privilege to share in this
work of restoration. Indeed. this work
is the chief business Of life. 1t was
the supreme business of the Son of God
as He moved among men, He was con-
tinuously making the Improbable prof
table and the useful more useful. This
is the great business to which the
church is called. If we would succeed
in this. we must give ourselves to the
task with great earnestness and unfal-
tering faith. We must have faith in
the saving power of Christ's gospel.
We must have faith in humanity; We
must believe in the people with whom
We work. We must have assured con-
tidence in the possibility of making the
useless useful.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

, that she finds too much for her
When she manufactures a success for
herself you can know that she needed
one badly. You can know that she
has been suffering defeat until the
suffering became well-nigh unbearable
and she had to do something about
it to find relief. You can set about
discovering way to help her to sue
ceed in her own right when she will
not need to lie to justify herself In her
own eyes and in yours.
A great many of the mistakes chill
dren make are made in an effort to
right themselves with those about them.
They feel inadequate. They grope
about to find some way of piecing
themselves out to the right size for
comfortable living. Sometimes they
steal to buy place among their fell
lows. Buying ones way is an easy
road to popularity in the schoolyard.
It Is often tried out.
Talking oneself into the center Of
the stage is another way Of placing
oneself effectively. Lately Peter has
talked blue streak. The moment he
comes into the room he begins talking
and he doesn't stop until he is sent
out again. Just talks and talks end
lessly about nothing or next to moth
ing"
Peter had lately been dispossessed of
first place in the family group. He
had been the only child. the lone lamb
until a baby brother came. In an
effort to hold the attention of the
family Peter had talked overtime. 1t
was his neglected self-calling, Look
at me. Here I am. Can't you see me?
I'm Peter. the child you used to love.
Look at me-"
When child offends your sense Of
rightness don't begin hunt for the
right sort of punishment. begin q
search for the cause Of his mistake.
Find out where he feels himself in
adequate, why he feels that way, and
if you can. find way to let him work
out his own salvation through personal
success.
It will not do for you to say, "Now
don't you worry. You are all right.
Just go ahead and be a good child"
It takes more than that to maintain
the balance in a child's troubled mind
It takes personal effort and personal
success to weight him sufficiently to
restore his importance, to himself
Every child can succeed in some par
ticular. Accent that power. give it a
chance to show, and the child will use
it for support in his hour of distress.
A mistake is usually signal for hcir.

In doing this reiterate the warning
not to increase nourishment drastically
in hot weather Add the new foods
slowly, in teaspoonful amounts. Con-
tinue this very limited portion for two
or three days and then add another
spoonful. In this way the baby becomes
accustomed to the new food, and the
gradually increased amounts do not
upset him.

strain it and remove all fat from it.
Reheat at serving time and serve two

Instead Betty Bear bawled louder.
Buster Bears eyes grew red with
anger. He shook that tree. Yes, sir,
he shook that tree and wee Betty Bear
had no breath to baWl, for she had all
she could do to hang on. When Buster
Bear stopped shaking she began to cry
again, and it was surprising what a
noise she made. This angered Buster

He knew that little cubs as small as
Betty seldom were left for long by
their mothers. He was rsleasy Betty
was too frightened to know this, but
he knew ii. He kept looking this way
and that way. He put his head up and
shifted. He was testing the air for the
scent Of Mother Bear. He stood still

had to hold on for dear life Then
Buster Bear got hold of that little tree

began to bawl again. She was calling

the angrier Buster Bear became. He
tried to pull that tree over. He tried
to push it over. You know he is big
and very strong. And between pulling
and pushing he would shake and shake
it until poor little Betty Bear felt as
If her teeth were being shaken out.
All the time Buster Bear was pulling
and pushing and shaking that little
tree he was growing, and it was a
dreadful sound to hear How Betty
Bear did wish and wish she hadn't
disobeyed Mother Bear, but she re-
mained up in that big tree as she had
been told to do. Where was Mother?
Why didn't she come? Betty Bear
bawled louder than ever.
Suddenly there was a crash in the
brush at a distance. Buster Bear
stopped shaking that tree and stood
listening He growled, but it wasn't

Though 1 have actually covered most
of the situations in earlier articles deal
ing with the responding hands proce-
dure, will give brief summary OF the
opening bidders duties with a short
suited hand. Bear in mind that have

opening no trump hands containing no
suit of five or more cards.

Our machinery does not provide for

sponse, unless the opening no-trump
bid was made third or fourth hand. In
that event, it is permissible to pass this
response and play the hand for two
no trumps This, however, should only
be done Whan the opening bid was shaded
to three primary tricks with scant pro-
lection in the form Of lower honors or
sequences, SO that you can really de-
termine that game is extremely un-
likely and would be a perilous contract,
unless your partners hand is within
half a primary trick of an opening first
or second hand bid In other words, If
YOU need two and half primary tricks
plus some secondary values or diStrlb-
uted protective intermediates, in

is a means of taking the strain on
the opening bidder" so that he may
be permitted to shade his opening bid
slightly with safety in third or fourth
position.
When There Is No Stopping Short Of
Game.
Having bid a no trump as dealer or
second hand, and having received the
raise to two no trumps, you may not
rass. You must bid three no trumps.
On occasions you will be set trick, but
you will almost always be Justlned IN
attributing the set to hard luck In losing
several illnesses or in finding each SUIT
in which you try to set up thirteenth
card hopelessly masSed against you. On
balance you will score heavily by bid
ding for game under these circum-
stances. If you find that you are losing
by it-for instance, if a dozen such
hands have as a whole shown loss
it must be because you are cutting cor
nerS in your opening no-trump DIGS
bidding no trumps when you should bid
a suit or paSS-or because your partner
has been raising you to two no trumps
when he should have passed or bid two
in a suit. Possibly both may have been
at fault. It is easy to see that the re-
spending hands function is especially
important when his holdings are weak,
for it is up to him alone to suggest a
suit contract or refrain from doing SO.
The opening no-trump bidder may not,
as you know, mention four-card suit,
except as part of slam try after three
no trl,ynps Cor game in suit has been
bid. So with a short-Suited no-trumper,
YOU are irrevocably committed to no
trumps unless your partner veers into
a suit. Only if you have enough reserve
strength to make or accept slam try
will YOU be able to show four-card
suit of your own choosing. With

your right bid is a no-trump. You
are not going to play this hand in a
major suit unless your partner bids 1t;
nor will you at any time bid spades
unless he makes a slam try in form
which makes it advisable for you to
show spade control. The bidding Of
four-card suits at late stages will be dis
cuSsed in forthcoming articles. The
point I am making today is that the
Sims theory of no-trump bidding de-
liberately eliminates the possibility of
unnecessary approach bidding for game
purposes subsequent to the no-trump
opening bid.

Dear Uncle Ray: Ny brother brought
home a deserted baby squirrel which he
found in the middle of a street. 1t
was such tiny thing that I thought
it was a mouse We fed him from a
medicine dropper and he slept next to
a hotwater bottle.
After some time he grew to be sleek
and fat. We called him Sammy. We
thought his teeth weren't very good be-
cause he wanted us to shell all the nuts
We gave him. Because he did not crack
nuts his teeth grew too long. One day
he broke them off in a tumble. Our
dentist was none too pleased with my
brothers questions and said that he
| had never made plates for squirrels.
However, We found in our natural his
tory that squirrels teeth grow as they
wear down, and before long nature
supplied Sammy with a new set. Later
we took the squirrel to a park and let
him go free. He was glad. We often

was in an ideal position to keep things
running smoothly between the White
House and Congress.
He had been in the Senate some IS

the fact that Garner had 80 years of

TINE sewellel has no tail at al,
but he gets there just the
same" In 1804-5 the members
i of the Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton came across these strange
little tailless creatures. The Indians OF
the Columbia River exhibited handsome
sewellels, but they called the animals
"showtls." Today they are to be found
in a narrow belt along the coast of
Northern California, in Oregon and
Washington, but not east of the Cas-
cade-Sierra Nevada series of mountains.
In appearance, the Sewellel is not
Unlike the squirrel and is about the
size of prairie dog. The body is stout.
The head is broad and blunt, the neck
short and thick. The hair is rather
coarse, a rich dark brown in color, with
a shorter coat of underfur of light
chestnut color. The legs are short and
the claws long.
These creatures are among the most
day. They are of retiring nature,
and while they are not strictly noe
turnal, they are rarely seen in the day
time.
Their runWays are made in loose soil,
and the piles of earth thrown out from
the burrows indicate that the busy
engineer is constructing another tunnel.
These long Railways lead to the vegeta-
ton growing close to the burrows. The
plan is rather simple. One long hall
has an opening at the surface. The
constructor pushes the loosened dirt
ahead of hmi with his broad, blunt
head, which acts as shovel.
ShoWt'ls are lua-relsome lot. They
fight at the sight Of each other and will
bite aggressively at objects in their
way. Their powerful incisors make
deep, painful wounds, and after an
encounter with an enemy, the fighter
is given wide berth.
1t is easy to make pets Of them, as
they are trustful title creatures, and
take kindly to your proffers of friend
