Nn't it a good thing that you know -!:<? never would leave you? Good mamma do everything yes, just evfi-yhin;:. to keep their little uivis and Ijoys safe and warm, don't they? Good mamma hens don't run away from their chickies either, but then this on" was a bad one. wasn't BEST she? Well, when they grew frighten- ed they started to run. They didn't know where, but they ran on and on until they came to what they thought were a lot of trees. But they weren't really traes. We wouldn't think they were trees. But they were higher than the chick.s, much higher, so high the little balls of thistle-down could easily hide in there. What the chickies thought -.vere trees was grass that hadn't been cut and grew so long that it would come- up to about your litt'e knees. They all got close together in theVe. and began to feel a little better. But soon the old wind blew them and whoof he blew at them and they just had to run out again. Then the bigest little chick (let's give him a name. How would Jimmy be? Their mamma ran away before she named them, so we'll have to give- them names, shall wt?) Well. Jimmy saw a big stone. It looked-as big as a house to him. but he made a big jump and used his lit- tle wings too, and found himself on top of it. Me looked all around and then called out very loudly; "Mamma. Mamma," only it sounded like this, "Peep-peep-peep," and do you know Mamma did hear him. Rut it wasn't Mamma Ili-n. It was the nice farmer lady in the big house who heard him. ft Just happened she came out doors to get the eggs out of the big chickens' house where all the older chickens were. The farmer lady could hardly be- lieve her ears when she heard little Jimmy calling. Sim stopped and lis- tened, then said, "Do 1 hear a little chicken?" Then listened again. Sure enough, it was Jimmy calling again louder and louder than before. Then she saw him on the bis stone. She went over to him ever so carefully and then she saw the others too, but as soon as they saw her they ran away in the grass, but Jimmy couldn't get down quite so fast as he was afraid of this big lady, for she was even big- ger than Billy when he saw them in the barn. But she came on making a nice soft noise. Really it was a little bit like bis own Mamma. "dime chick, chick, chick." she said. By this time he managed to get off the stone and ran a little, then waited till she nearly caught up to him. but when she got near he was afraid again and ran on a little farther. But over near the corner of the house she caught him. Ooh i>oh he fluttered and even jumped a little, but her hands were so nice and warm. Even then he looked at her sharply out of his little black eyes to see what she would do. but she held him in her cupped hands so warm and gently he could hardly be- lieve he was so comfortable and ve-ry soon snuggli'd down as cosy as could be. Then sh<> heard the others crying in the grass, for the cold wind would not leave them alone, and she went over and caught each little baby untii she had them all close together in her two hands.

Golden Text In that he himself hath suf- fered being tempted, he is to suc- cour them that are tempted. He- brews 2: 8. The Temptation nn.-rative is really part of the Baptism S'ovy, though Luke has inj^rtod the {renea'ogy of Jesus between the two events. Pictures of the Baptism which are familiar to us .suggest some sudden light in the sky and a mysterious thundering voice from hoaven, but, that seems to be far from the Evangelist's ima.-iing. Tl:a Bapti.-ni of JMUI, he tells us in his pictorial Jewish way, was fci- him the occasion of i new a:ul profound religious experience; the voice from l.o:iv.'n spoke to Jesus ind to Jesus all ".". We are not able ,o enter it.to the sxil of Jesus as to .under- stand exactly the -nature o" this ex- perience. Th? early*Chriftia:is thought of it as being, lik? th:'ir own baptismal experience', a receiving f th 'io!y Spirit; in Jesus' case it seems to hav been au experience which sent him forth upon his public ninistry. Some thirty years he had lived quietly in Nazareth, attracting no public atten- tion to himself, but now the word of God came to him. bidding him come out before the people. It has oftc-r, been supposed that Jasus, at his Bap- tism, first realized that he was the unique Son of God, or that he was Messiah ; but this is quite uncertain. The Temptation is intimately connect- ed with the Baptism, because we are told that the same Spirit, which des- cended upon him at his baptism, al c o drove him into the wilderness. In order to understand the Tempta- tion story we must recognize wlia. kind of a story it is. Children often ask us whether the tale we are telling tlvMii is true; their question i? some- times difficult to answer. For in- stance, is the "Pilgrim's Progress" a true story? Surely it is one of the truest of true stories, but, of cour.se, it is not literally true; there is no lit- eral castle of Giant Despair, no literal Apollyon to straddle across our way. In what sense exactly are *e to say that the Temptation narrative is a true story? We involve ourselves in very grave perplexities if we try lo ma'ntain that it is literally true, f.vi we. for instance, say that the Spirit of God literally drives any one to be tempted by the di-\il? Or how are we U> picturo the devil? Or is there any place on a mountain, or in the air. from which lite/aliy all the kingdoms of the earth can be seen at once? Ob- viously the story was told when me.i believed the world to be flat. But we misunderstand the story if we eet oursi-lves into these difficulties. If a friend should tell us -that he was at one time greatly tempted to be dis- honest, and that for a week he had !o fight th<- devil, we should perfectly understand him: we should nev?r take his words literalfv. and ask him wh rl - ther he fought with a sword or a gun. So hero we shall miss the real mean- ing of the story, and get involved ; n usvless discussion* if we do not taV> it spiritually and interpret it, as best we can, of Jesus.' inward experienc of temptation. Many interpretations of the Temp- tations have been offered, and we can never be sure that we have caugM the whole meaning of them. It seems clear, however, that Jesus went away i,.to solitude in order to think out the implications of his baptismal expe"- ienee: hence, the repeated phrase, "Ft' thou be the Son of God." The temptation to make stones inN> bread nii.nht be either of two things; it migh'v be the temptation to do pri- vate miracles for his own comfort and advantage, or it might be to attain his M.-ssiashi|>. his kingship, by dealing first with economic problems. 'IT' 1 Romans knew well that any ruler could win popularity if he would give the people "bread and circuses" fur nothing. The temptation to win world-empire by worship. >ir.g the devil suggests that he was tempted to u.se worldly mean to achieve spiritual results. Propa- ganda, war. party-spirit, bribes, have too often been used by Christians tn serve the cause of the church, but Jesus would not bribe nor cajole, nor force men into the kingdom; they must enter with their eyes open, be- cause they understand and love. The Jews demanded of him some "sign from heaven," some miraculous proof of his claims, but if they wouid not believe Moses and the prophe'- (Luke 1(5: 31), if they were not able to judge of the authority of John (Mark 11: 27-":5), he would not ca ; t l-iim.-elf down from the Temple, nor do any such miracl" to prove his claims. Then the devil left him "for a time." or "till his opportunity." The verse, perhaps, looks forward to Gethsem- ane. "Luke omits, in his narrative thi- ministry of angels mentioned by th<: other two synoptists, a sweet postluile we should have missed much, had it been wanting; but he gives us instead 1 the retreat of the adversary : 'He de- pa rtedirom him for a season.' Ho.v Ir.ng a season it was we do not know, but a brief one it must have been, for agai.i and again in the story of the g-ospels we see the dark shadow of the evil one; while in Gethsemane the 'prince of this world' cometh, but to find 'nothing in me.' And what was the horror of great darkness, that strange eclipse of soul Jesus suff.-ivii upon Calvary, but the same 1'earf.i. presence, intercepting for a time even the Father's smile?" Fashion Gema Every dress should have its jacU-t, whether it be silk or wool. As many as four color combinations are uti- lized. The suit proper remains sub- dued in tone, the colors lending their brightness to the blouse. The cowl cape has to a certain ex- tent tupplanted the cowl neckline. It is very youthful, and in many in- stances reaches almost to the waist- line both .in the front and back. It fits closely the high neckline from which all fullness is eliminated. The high neckline, by the way, is consider- ed the correct neckline for mid-season wear. Novelty fabrics are accepted as cor- rect for the top coat. Self scarves play an important part, while long- haired furs are also meeting with ap- proval. While the coat of more dressy type lias a novelty weave, the- colors are plain. Long, fitted lines, accent- uated or not by a belt, lead as to style. Large shawl collars and often cuffs are consistently in the foreground.

Frequently the entire undersection of a frock id fas- hioned of white or flesh-colored organ- die. Sheer velvet may form the body of the frock, leaving a wide hem of organdie below. Other frocks of lace or velvet are worn over underskirts of taffeta, but always the wide, sheer tlariim hem is in evidence. Thus the name "petticoat frock" designates this model, which swishes pleasantly as the wearer dances and reminiscent of I ihe i|iiaint bouffant sowns of t'le past.
