Of multitude in whom another would
have behald only curious mob of
sight-seers.
There is prevalent idea that this
zeal for the people Is a modern cult,
a sort of socialism: Absurd 1t is
as old as the Bible: and it had its
rise in the Spirit impaired to the
friends and revealers Of the Father
in Heaven. A hymn of present pop
ularity is God Save the People, !"
which was written by Ebenezer Elliott
about 100 years ago:
When wilt Thou save the people?
o God of mercy, when?
Not kings and lords, but nations,
Not thrones nor crowns, but men
Flowers of Thy heart, o God, are they,
Let them not pass like weeds away,
Let them not fade in sunless day.
God save the people
Tethered by a Short Rope.
All of us, the most affluent and the
most ascetic, are tethered by a short
rope to the primitive needs OF the
body. Saintliness cannot subsist with
out food-though it needs less than
gluttony. A physician has said: 1T
only takes one-third of what the aver
age person eats to support life; the
other two-thirds go to support the
doctors" Life is more than meat
but it is also meat, as Jesus showed
clearly in the miracle Of the feeding of

mere and now, in your own shop or
office or school or neighborhood There
is satisfaction for human ills in the
spiritual riches which Christians al
ready possess.
How the disciples must have stared
at the incredible command Of Christ!
With five loaves and two small fishes
they were to feed more than 5000
orientals. whose appetite at free feast
is proverbial. They could not see it:
neither can a preacher see where he is
going to get 1000 sermons in the next
10 years: or writer where he is to
flnd thousands of articles and ideas
in the same time: or a homemaker
how she is to cook more than 10 900
meals in 10 years. or sew on thousands
OF buttons. or scrub faces times beyond
counting or wash countless thousands
OF dishes. Nevertheless, the principle
that applied to the disciples still pre-
walls: Go ahead with your duty: YOU
possess more than you know. Trust
yourself for larger things, and trust
God whose word you obey.

eat?" was not too material or COM
monplace to be beneath the notice of
the Son of God.
Accredited by His calloused hands,
and by His brotherly, understanding
heart, Jesus of Nazareth is today the
one acceptable leader of mankind out
of the dire distress and disorder Of
the world. His passion for common
people. His patience with us ordinary
folk, His steadfastness to us when an
other in disgust would leave us to stew
in our own juice-these are the uualifi-
cations which commend Christ to the
commonalty of men and women as our
days deliverer and hero.
Friends Who Understand.
Sympathy sometimes sees straighter
than scholarship. Erudition has often
been befogged and bemired in theo-
logical questions concerning Jesus:
but simple saints, men and women
bent beneath the burdens of life, have
never lost their clear vision of Christ
as their best Friend and surest Leader
and Sympathizing Saviour and one
Revealer of God.
There is profound teaching for
our own disorganized day in the
solicitude of Jesus for the crowds:
and in the swift, sure PERCEPTION of
the masses that Jesus understands
them and can satisfy their deepest
aspirations. None of the mechanical
schemes for bringing antagonistic
groups of society together, or for
securing the supremacy of one over
the other, is anything more than an
alteration, a temporary expedient:
whereas the Jesus mode promises
the permanence and peace of good
will.
Jesus gave first place to the claims
Of the crowd upon Him. He thought
Of the WEAKNESS of that host who
had followed Him far afoot, and who
were weary, hot, tired and hungry.
Their quest for Him must have thrilled
His compassionate heart. Every in
stinct of shepherdhood and Saviour
hood was set vibrating by the spectacle

Relationship
Of Parents
And Child
Older People Can
Never Be 'Chums'
OF Youngsters.
BY ANGELO PATRI,

AM always q bit anxious when ]
hear teachers or parents saying
that they are good chums with their
children. 1t is not possible for mature
people to be true chums with children.
They can be friendly adults: they
can be fine leaders, but they simply
cannot be chums. A chum is one
who is in full sympathy and complete
understanding with his companion
Only child can have that close SYM
pathy and understanding toward an
other child
A grown person has left childish
things behind him or he is not a
grown-up. He cannot bring himself
to that stage again. good as his in
tentions may be- His effort to do so
is either laughable or pitiful. some.
times both. A mature human being
has some dignity. and when he at
tempts to be a child again. and play
with the children. he loses all SEM
blance Of dignity and is just show
Children need leadership from older
people more than they need COM
panionship in their play from them.
II the children could be depended
upon to rear themselves, to right
themselves when they made false
move, to profit by daily experiences

enced elders, this chummy idea might
not work so much mischief. but, as
the grownup must go to the rescue
every so often, a bit of formality, q
touch Of dignity, will not prove amiss.
am not asking for pontifical atti-
tudes. Nor for the stuffed shirt
pomposity. Just for little good
sense and good manners. A mother
can enter into the spirit of her daugh-
ter's amusements; she can forward
them in many ways, without trying
to be part Of them. The sight OF
an elderly woman dancing girlish
dances, playing children's games, is
not a happy one. The matron is
placed at a great disadvantage. And
father entering into the boys foot
ball game is no better. His weight
is against him, his heart Is not with
him. The children feel uncomforta-
BILE without being able to say why,
and the occasion is not successful.
It is better to grow up with the
children as leader and friend and
last authority than to try to keep
step with them as one Of their own
generation. Then, when the time
comes when parental power and wis
dom and understanding are needed
it can be summoned easily and work
effectively. A fatherly word of ad-
vice, q motherly counsel, comes with
full force from the parent who has
just enough Of the formal dignity
of his position and relationship to
make it serve.
When q child invites his father and
mother to 60 along they ought to
look closely into the situation before
accepting the invitation. There are
times when acceptance Is graceful ano
there are other times when it is a
great mistake. If you can 60 along
as father and mother, and fit in
that place, fine. If you go along
thinking you are members of the
group, chums of these boys and girls
better be careful. You may be caus-
ing pain and embarrassment and
doing no good at all.

WE'VE started and are we'll on our

year better looking and certainly no
older looking than we are today.
Once you start the going gets
harder. Once you achieve greater
beauty your own standards will auto
matically get higher and the goal will
be increasingly difficult to attain. But,
what fun in the trying. to say noth-
ing Of the achieving You've got to
keep going. though. There's no stand
ing still. And step backward may
be damaging and dangerous. People
do take things for granted. They'll
be quick to compliment, to be sure.
They'll say, "How well you look, how
young. how lovely. What have you
been doing to yourself? You're SLIM
mer today than you were 10 years
ago, life must be treating you
swell and all that" But, if

Once you start having your hair

Of
Weddings
Settled
Style and Color of
Gown Is Decided
By the Bride.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I have never
been married before but am no
longer young, and for this reason
would rather not wear a white dress
and veil. I do, however. want to seem
a little more bridelike than would be
possible by wearing ordinary clothes.
Will you tell me, frankly, what your
reaction is to my idea of a pale-blue
dress and matching tulle veil for my
SELF and for my attendant, who is my
sister, gold-color dress made SIM
ilarly to mine but worn with small
hat and veil?
Answer: This question is too much
one of personal liking to have any
body decide it except yourself. But
since you asked me, it seems to me
that blue has the same quality that
white has, in that it is becoming to
very young people. rather than to
| Older ones. Gold, on the other hand.
makes a beautiful bridal dress, and
gold tulle veil would be lovely Deep
cream is also very fattering. But If
blue is your color" meaning If It is
particularly becoming to you, then I
think you would be perfectly right in
choosing it.
nEAR MRS. POST: My mother and
father are divorced and I live
with mother. Both my parents are
married again. Mother is giving me
my wedding and father the reception
at the country club. Under these cir
cumstanceS what kind of invitation
should be sent? I mean, will 1t be
proper to inclose both Invitations in
the same envelope?
Answer: In this rather unusual
case the invitations should be sent
out separately and not in the same
envelopes, nor even addressed in the
same handwriting if this can be
avoided. Your mother should send
| out the church invitations and your
fathers to the reception should 60 out
| separately.
nEAR MRS. POST: Is 1t an un-
usual procedure for bride-to-be
to be dressed as bride and to wear
veil and yet have only one attend
ant? I have so many friends and
am almost afraid to choose one or two
OF them to omit the others, and
thought for this reason 1 would have
a young sister as an only attendant.
She is my only sister.
Answer: 1t is not at all unusual for
a bride to have only one attendant
even though she be married in large
church filled with flowers and the
bridegroom have eight ushers. 1t will
be quite all right to have no one but
your sister. If she is very little let
her take part as flower girl, or If
she is older as junior maid of honor,
