Guided some of his SubhmeSt

riod that he taught his followers
a memorable lesson by his bless
ing of the little children.
THE CHILD AND THE
DISCIPLES
The Purity of Childhood fur
nishes a model for the man. The
query burning in the disciples
hearts showed their ambition.
And they were ambitious for
place and power in the new king
dom because they misunderstood
it. But they must lift their eyes
higher than a governors chair or
an emperor'S throne. So Jesus
called a little child to his side
and pointed to him as their
model. He was unSpoiled and
unpretentious; without pride,
e0uivocation. and hypocrisy; doc
lie, confiding, affectionate. 1t
takes the child-like nature even
to enter the Kingdom. And only
the childlike character can at
tain the spiritual greatness
reckoning skyward. Jesus does
not DENY that there is relative
greatness in the kingdom nor
check his disciples in aspiring to
the highest. But he shows that
we reach the heights by the path
of humility rather than over the
highway of warning ambitions.

Mark Jesus took the infant as

the kingdom. Better to be
sunk in the sea by a milestone
than to be stumbling stone IN
/ the path of the weak. When oc-
casions for stumbling come, woe
to the stumbling world; but a
triple woe upon him who causes
the stumbling! But also we must
/ keep out of our own way as well
as that of, others. When any
thing i'm us stands in the way of
the soul, there is but one scrip
tural and sensible thing to do.
We amputate the gangrened hand
or foot in order to save life. We
have the infected eye taken out
in order to save and strengthen
the eye that is left. If an OPP
Grafton is necessary, it is better
to live manned than to die I'M
mutilated.
THE CHILD AND THE
FATHER
The protection of childhood i'm
plies the favor of the Father.
For the little ones in the King
dom we must do more than SIM
ply see that they are not mo-
Tested. We must cherish and
help them. We must not look
down upon them. Remember that
the angels who attend them are
admitted with their petitions to
special favor to the Father in
heaven. How tenderly he watches
over his babesi And how faith
fully he rescues and restores any
of them who stray! Does not a
good shepherd leave his ninety
nine sheep in safety and search
the mountain wiids for the one
that is lost and exposed And
when success ends the search, she
shenherd's Joy is greater over the
one found than over the many
not lost. No premium is put up
on straying, for this is reprov-
able when wilful: but there is
special Joy when the weak and
wayward are won from the VOL
/ fish designs of satan.
THE CHILD AND THE
! SAVIOUR
The presentation of childhood
invites the benedictions of the
/ Lord. Jesus as very busy but
fond mothers nevertheless
/ brought their little children to
him in the hope that he would
| touch them. lay his hands upon
TEN, and pray for them. Since
Jesus was surrounded by adults
and every moment was occupied
with teaching the multitudes, the
disciples felt that the coming of
/ the children would be an intru-
sion. For this reason they for
babe the bringing of the little
ones into the presence of the
! Saviour. Far from being pleas
ed with the conduct of his dis
ciples in this matter. Jesus was
"moved with Indignation" With
out hesitation he called the chill
dren unto him, other work for
! the moment giving way to that
which now leaped into prece,
dence. Notice what Jesus said,
As to children and the Christ. he

D. c. RELIEF FUND
HELD SUFFICIENT
Allen Believes District Can
"Get BY" Month on Al.
Iotment.

Commissioner George E. Allen TO-
day announced his belief in the
Districts ability to get by" the month
on the relief money allotted it by
Federal Relief Administrator Harry
L. Hopkins.
Aliens announcement was made
following a conference in his Office
with relief leaders in the District, in
GLIDING Elwood Street. director Of
public welfare; William Cleary, Sec
rotary of the Relief Committee: Capt.
Howard Clark. U. S. A. assistant en-
gineer commissioner and deputy re-
lief administrator: Leroy Halbert. di-
rector of emergency relief, and Maj.
Daniel Donovan, District auditor
I'VE believe-we're making no en-
phatic statements, but we believe
we'll get by June with the money
given US by the Federal relief people, y
Allen said. following the conference
And it doesn't mean in any way
the breakdown or collapse of our pro-
gram, it doesn't mean the ruination
Of work relief or any of those things,
but simply the tightening up of
everything in relief activities that we
have. II, for instance, We find a job
is requiring a lot of money for ma
terial. we'll simply abandon that job
and go on to some other project which
is virtually all labor"
The amount Of money granted the
District for relief in June was $780,
ooo,, plus certain other allotments
for relief of transients and for edu-
cational projects. 1t was the $780,
600. however. within which Allen and
his associates were particularly anx-
ious to stay.

DELAYED MONUMENT
BID is ACCEPTED
Archer Iron Works Will Erect
Scaffolding and Clean
Shaft.

A bid for erecting scaffolding around
the Washington Monument and clean
ing the shaft, delayed beyond closing
of bids when an airmail plane was
forced down near Pittsburgh, Pa, will
be accepted by the Federal Govern
ment. Indications today were that
the Archer Iron Works of Chicago
which submitted this bid, of $4,000
for the scaffolding and $50. 900 for
the cleaning, is the lowest offer re-
ceived and recommendation for its
acceptance will be forwarded shortly
to Secretary Ickes.
John L. Maggie, engineer of the Ma
tional Capital Parks, Interior Depart
ment, has been studying the various
bids SO that a recommendation can
be made to the Secretary. The de-
layed Archer bid had tied up the
proceedings, because the park author
tiles declined even to open this offer
until they had received authorization
Improvement of the Washington
Monument is made possible by Pub
lie Works Administration allotment
of 100000. Although the combined
Archer bid for scaffolding and clean
ing totals but around $4,000, officials
said today that the balance will be
spent in improving the Monument and
bringing it up to date Crevices that
have developed between the stones will
be cemented and the shaft made
weatherproof, said the authorities.

Such a magician would go into the
fields stark naked, his forehead
smeared with vermillion and carrying
trumpet and a spear. Pausing
under a rain cloud he would blow the
trumpet and plunge the spear into

across the sky he would move with
it, pausing at intervals to repeat the
opera ton until it had passed over the
field he was employed to protect.
Maharaja of Manipur
Ducked in River.
As a last resort to bring rain in
the Indian kingdom of Manipur, the
Maharaja is taken to the river and
his lead held under water for few
seconds, or his face is plastered with
mud.
Recent monarchs have submitted
with good humor to this practice as
a condescension to the superstitions
of the people. In ancient times, 1t
is believed, the practice was to drown
some member of the royal family as
a sacrifice to the rain spirits Duck
ing the king is symbolic drowning,
the origin of which has been for

In the same part of India. there
is a custom of assembling a herd of
a hundred or more mich COWS before
the palace during a drought and
milking them all upon the ground at
the same time-obviously an imitation
of rain intended as initiative magic.

not choose to leave their houses on

of the tug of war is that these spirits
