he came to the sea of Galilee and
they bring to him one that was deaf,
and had an impediment in his
speech; and they beseech him 20
put his hand on him." Jesus tour
ed northern Galilee, away from the
crowd, but he could not be hid and
was stopped by poor unfortunate
to live the scout rule of doing a
good turn every day as did the
friends of the deaf man. Jesus was
well pleased with this sort of thing.
V. 33 "And he took him aside
from the multitude, and put his fin
gers in his ears, and he spit and
/ touched his tongue Jesus used
the sign language as the means to
reach the mind and heart of the un-
to find the way of approach when
we want to save a man.
V. "a. "And looking up into
heaven. he sighed and saith unto
him, Ephphatha, that is, be open
ed In looking up to heaven, Je-
sus called forth the faith of this
deaf man. His signing suggests
that prayer takes an effort. Prayer
must be thoughtful, earnest, in good
V. 35. 'And straightway his ears
were opened, and the string of his
tongue was loosed, and he spake
plain" The healing ministry Of
Christ is important as means Of
furthering his kingdom on earth
Hospitals are in Christ's program.
V. g. ''And he charged them
that they should tell no man; but
the more he charged them, SO much
the more they published it," Jesus
did not want to make his miracles Of
healing the first item in his service
to the world. One needs to learn
to make first things first
V. 81. "And they were beyond
measure astonished saying, He hath
both the deaf to hear, and the dumb
to speak" .'Well done" is the en-
comium of life. When Jesus gets
through with his work Of grace the
result is finished product without
flaw or blemish.

Serving Others, Mark 7:24-a7,
for Sunday, April 3:
Jesus evidently sought a quiet
place because Of the excitement of
the beheading of John the Baptist,
because of the wrath of the Phari-
ment to make him king, because OF
the urgent need of rest and because
of his desire to be alone with the
disciples.
V. "a. "And from thence he
arose, and went into the borders
of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into
a house and would have no man
know it; but he could not be hid"
No place will hide any man. From
every one goes an influence either
good or bad that reveals his char
acter and makes him known.
V. 25. ''For a certain woman
whose young daughter had an un-
clean spirit, heard of him, and came
and fell at his feet Jesus took
the first step toward his beneficiary.
The initiative belongs to him. But
their need. They must draw nigh
to him who draws night to them.
v. 26 ''And she besought him
that he would cast forth the devil
out of her daughter 1t is not
enough to have a general feeling of
a need of Christ; there must be a
definite appeal.
V. ~. "But Jesus said unto her,
Let the children first be filed for
it is not meet to take the children's
bread and cast it to the dogs"
Jesus meant that it was improper to
deprive the Israelites of blessings
in order that they might be be-
slowed on Gentiles. God had used
the Jews as a means of making real
faith in him, and Jesus honored
Gods plan.
V. rs. "And she answered and
said unto him, Yes, Lord; yet the
dogs under the table eat of the chill
drens crumbs The woman was
humble but in spite of the plan of
precedence, she also believed in
God and was therefore entitled un
der the grace of God which Jesus
INTRODUCED to an attentive hearing.
v. 29. "And he said unto her,
devil is gone out of thy daughter"
Jesus answers the cry of every sim
cere soul who exercises Christian
faith and prays according to his
will. 1t is his will that unclean
spirits be cast out everywhere.
v. 30. "And when she was come
to her house, she found the devil
gone out, and her daughter laid up
on the bed" Faith was the victory.
She returned home with no longer
calling on Jesus; home where the
healed child was, home where her
work was. Jesus must be taken at
his word. One needs to learn how
to claim Gods promises.

Serving Others, Mark 7:24-37,
for Sunday, April 3:
In what ways is Jesus being hid
den today?
How can we remove the obstacles
that hide him?
In what respects are we not treat
ing foreigners in a Christian way?
What are the essential attributes
of great man or great nation?
What are the conditions of pre-
vailing prayer?
Clericus says: "Not political di-
visions but the reverent heart, not
social station but spiritual status,
not race but righteousness de-
termine our acceptability with Cod
Lesson prayer: "Help us to ex-
press better the Christian spirit
when we meet foreigners and thus
break down race prejudice. We
would have keener mind as to the
needs of others that we may serve
them better"

and Nevada have no land better in
grade than "poor.' Oregon, best Of
lent land. Washington has much
less.
AS matter of course all the avail
able land in all these states is
more strongly held than better land
is held in Ohio The pressure of
the westward rolling tide of rest
less Americans accounts for the
stronger demand in poorer territory.
l can see no reason why men
should quit the Ohio hills to seek
comfort and wealth in mountain
territory; no reason for deserting
land, even such as is admitted
other land that is poorer still; no
incentive for leaving the hills,
where crops will grow, to engage in
the romantic enterprise of ere
cannot be produced, even under
best conditions, without irrigation
and then at great expense.
This irrigation is not universally
understood There are those who
believe that there is plenty of water
in the .'west" and that the only
the places where it is needed.
In every irrigated district with
which l am acquainted the water
is lover appropriated, that is
there are more applicants than can
be served. In California there may
be had many applicants who cannot
be served as there are persons who
have the right to use water.
Irrigation is not simply a matter of
tapping a stream and allowing the
water to flow over the land. The
water is controlled under strict law
and rigid rules. 1t is measured to
the consumer, who must use his
share and as he is told he may use
it.
The Muskingum river, its tribu-
taries, creeks and runs and the
thousands of springs in Morgan
county would be worth many mil
lions of dollars if their benefits

In some parts of the country we
hear the vireos called greenlets. The
reason for this is plain, the Latin
word vireo means Il am green"
Cassin's vireo is very much like
It's cousin, the blue headed vireo.
1t Is somewhat smaller and is much
less colorful. 1t breeds from Gen.
trail British Columbia, Southwest
ern Alberta and Western Montana
south through California and West
ern Nevada to the San Pedro Martir
Mountains, Lower California. Dur
ing migration 1t is seen in Utah.
Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico.
During the winter these vireos re-
side In Mexico.
In the bright spring days of April
and May, the vireo sings its sweet
est songs. They are for his mate
and to voice his own contentment
with life. In the woods, where YOU
must go to hear both serenades, YOU
will enjoy the concert of several
others birds who likewise find it
more to their liking to build their
nurseries in the hemlocks or pines.
The trees benefit by the presence
OF these friends. The caterpillars,
srubs, insect eggs and winged in
sects consumed are countless. Even
before the babies arrive, the grown
ups are searching every Granny for
these delicacies.
The length of this little forester
Is about 5 inches. The fore parts
are slate color and the upper parts
an olive green. the underparts a
SOFT white. The crown, hindneck.

Huda threaded the Woolen thread
into her magic needle and again the
needle raced back and forth just
as though it knew what it was sup
posed to do. Pretty soon there were
lovely folds of soft wooden cloth ly-
ing on the table about her, and then
there was so much that it fell to
the floor, and finally Hulda cried,
That's enough"
Then at Hulda's direction the
giant women cut the cloth so that
there was long jacket for the
giant and pair of knee breeches.
Again Hulda sewed and after a
while the suit lay finished.
But then she wrinkled her brow.
The whole suit was a soft tan color,
but there wasn't stitch of trim
ming on it. and Hulda knew that
was what the giant wanted. She
looked perplexed. Then she had a
strange idea. There was a shaft of
sunlight falling through a high win
dow right onto the table where she
worked. 1t was a shining golden
color with f1ecks of pink in it. She
wished very much that she could
use 1t for thread to weave patterns
on the giants suit. Then she
thought, why not? 1t is magic
needle"
So she tried, and sure enough,
long threads Of sunshine separated
themselves and thread into her
needle. She embroidered a rich
pattern Of oak leaves over the giants
jacket. His one eye glistened as he
watched and when she finished he
exclaimed, I'll keep it as long as
I live. It's the most beautiful suit
ever saw He slipped on the
jacket and as he turned, the pattern
OF oak leaves sparkled. He looked
quite like a King.
BY that time the mean Queen and
her soldiers had finished the break
fast dishes and they came upstairs
dragging their tired feet. But when
the Queen saw what had happened
and how happy the giant looked, she
gasped, We'll, I declare"
The giant frowned at her, and
then laughed. Now, your Majesty,
you see how this child with her
kindness has accomplished more
than all your soldiers. She has
made me quite happy and in the
morning I shall carry you back to
where l found YOU
The Queen looked at Hulda and
then looked down as though she felt
a little ashamed.
Tomorrow: Imprisoned again.

Chapter IS
THE QUEEN LEARNS ALESSON.

The QUEEN LEARNS A LESSON.
Nov then" said the one-eyed
giant to Hulda as he strode back into
the throne room. Where did you
come from and what is it like there?"
He liked stories of other lands be-
cause he could never leave his own,
since he was the only one in his
kingdom who could see.
Hulda swallowed and tried to
speak, but she was too frightened.
The giant laughed and said, "Oh,
I'm sorry. I'll sit farther back and
then you won't be so afraid" He
did, and Hulda described Toyland
and Santa and the fairies and the
ermine.
The giant listened. and then he
looked around his barren throne
room and then he looked back again
and when he did there was big
tear rolling out of his one eye and
right down his nose.
why, what's the matter?" said
Hulda.
ITS just that Santa's place sounds
SO fine and we have such few fine
things here said the giant. Look
at this old suit of mine. It's made
Of sheepskins. But see how rough
1t is and I'm the King of giants. 1
should have something fine to wear,
but none of my people can see to
sew"
Sew" said Hulda. why, can
sew. I'll make you a suit"
you will?" said the giant. But
how?"
Can any one of your people spin
woolen thread from the sleeps
wool?' asked Hulda. Il have
magic needle"
Fine said the giant. I'VE have
q spinning wheel and I'll set my
people to work at once" So he
called in several giant women and
told them to spin wool thread for
suit for him. They put the big
spinning wheel in the center of the
floor and spun and spun until there
were little hills of woolen thread all
over the floor. You see. they could
spin when they couldn't sew. be-
cause they could guide the spinning
wheel with their fingers.
