" F o r either ] w ill hate the one, and love the other J or else he w ill hold to one and despii the other." A nd all the while he very likely be foolin g him self into thd belief that he can love both and th&B he is serving both im partially. " Y d cannot serve God and m am m on/! Mammon may be derived fro m d Phoenician w ord fo r " gain" and so b3 equivalent to Pluto, the Latin god o| w ealth; o r it m ay be derived fro m d Hebrew w ord m eaning " trusted." O ui English equivalent would be " w orld s ness." " Th erefore I say unto you, B e no{ anxious fo r your life ." The rem aindei o f the chapter is an expansion o f th« thought already introduced in versel 19-24, that we are to live fo r God ana not fo r the world, trusting the heaven ly riches and not mammon " W h at y« shall eat, o r w hat ye sha.l drin k; n oi yet fo r your body, w hat ye shall pul on." These are the fundam enta1 nec essities o f ban.an life, and i f anxiety fo r them is forbidden, surely an xietj fo r more than these is forbidden. " Is not the life m ore than the food, and the body than the raim ent?" " Behold the birds o f th e heaven.' Palestine is a land o f many birds, and very likely Christ pointed to a floch o f them as he spoke. " That they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gatheT into barn s; and your heavenly Fathei feedeth them." The birds obey th« God which is in them in the fo rm ol instinct, and so they reach the limit o f their possibilities; and they are fed and they are clothed as no great king o f Oriental days or modern days was ever fed or garbed. " A re not ye of much m ore value than th ey?" It is said that M artia Luther was once w andering in the fields alone w ith his sorrow , when a bird perched singing cn a spray, and to the w anderer's ears he seemed to sing, " M ortals, ceaso fro m toil and sorrow God provideth fo r the m orrow ." " A nd which o f you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure o f his life ? " Christ's question points out the useless..ess o f w orry. It can not change things, except fo r the worse. " A nd why are ye anxious concern ing raim ent? Consider the lilies o f the field, how they grow ." Palestine in a land o f flowers. Some think the flower to which Christ referred to was the Scarlet T u rk 's C a p ; others that it wras the red anemone. " They toil not, neither do they spin." It w as because God w as love to Jesus Christ, that when he w ent abroad into the w orld o f nature, he saw God and his kingdom in tV\e birds, and in the thou sand lilies o f the field. " Y et I say unto you, that even Solo mon in all -iis g lory w as not arrayed like one o f these." W e ou gh t to be able to rejoice in those parts o f the creation whch w ere desgned especially to give us delight. " But i f God doth so clothes the grass of. the field." Including, o 1 course, the many flowers grow in g amid the grass. " W hich to-day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven." F ire wood is so scarce in Palestine that even in our day the people heat theii ovens fo r baking bread with dry grass from the fields. " Shall he not much m ore clothe you, O ye o f little fa ith ? " I f the lilies o f the field are so beauti fu l, w hat w ill be the beauty o f th« white garm ents o f the saints! " Be not th erefore anxious, saying W hat shall w e eat? or, W h at shall w< drink? or, W herew ithal shall w e b« clothed?" A ll the w orry that eve) got itself accomplished in this weary, w orrying w orld ; all the sleepless nights, all the burdened days, all the joyless, mirthless, peace-destroying health-destroying, happiness-destroy ing, love-destroying hours that mei: and women have ever in all earth'1 centuries given to w orry, nevei w rought one good thing. " F or a fter all these things do the Gentiles seek." The heathen may bf pardoned fo r their anxious lives, for they have not the knowledge o f a loving heavenly F a th er; but we, t.: whom this knowledge has been given, are w ithout excuse i f we w orry. " For our heavenly F ather knoweth th at ye have need o f all these things." Food, drink, clothing, shelter, these are es sential to God's creatures. They should never fre t about things essential, be cause God knows they have need of these things. " But seek ye first his kingdom , and his righteousness." Jesus teaches that the kingdom o f God is so beautiful and worth so much to a man, that i f he really catches sight o f it, he w ill be ready to give up everything else fo r it. " And all these things shall be added unto you." Here is the plus principle in daily living. W ith the kingdom o f God in the heart, the plus process b e . gins in life. Woman's Chatter... By Man M.

P L A C E -- The H orns o f H attin, a hill west o f the Sea o f Galilee. PARALLEL P A S S A G E -- The " Sermon on the Plain," Luke 6 : 20-49. " L ay not up fo r yourselves treas ures upon the earth." Let it not be thought fo r a moment that Christ in culcates any lack o f prudence in con nection with m aterial things, or any disregard o f m aterial duties. His strong protest is against the undue secularizing o f life. " W here moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal." L iterally " dig through," fo r Palestinian house, made usually of stone, have no outer windows, and thieves must made holes in the walls i f they would enter. " But la y up fo r yourselves treas ures in heaven," I f you w ish to ex press some o f your money from earth to heaven, give it to those who need. And i f you have no money to give, you can give friendship and loving sym pathy and w ise praise and tender admonition and inspiring counsels and sweet com fort. " W here neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal." W e should exch an g- earthly fo r heavenly currency. " F or where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also." I f the heart be with the treasure, what happens tc the treasure happens to the heart. " The lamp o f the body is the eye," The eye is the spiritual facu lty through which the light o f God's truth is recognized and admitted into the coul. " I f th erefore thine eye be single." Sound, seeing objects singly, and clear ly, and dinstinctly, instead o f m u ltip ljing them, as in certain unsound states, confusedly and indeterminately. " Thy whole body shall be fu ll o f ligh t." The soul's eye must be single and the singleress o f motive and desire must spring fro m the superhuman energy that comes to use from the spiritgiven love o f Jesus Christ. " But i f thine eye be evil (th at is, diseased), thy whole body shall be fu ll o f darkness." A ll about us are sights and visions o f eternal truths and beau ties which w e have not seen. W e have not, by prayer and Bible study and meditation and Christian service culti vated the spiritual capacity. " I f there fore the ligh t that is in thee be dark ness, how great is the darkness!" The w hole passage is a w arning against the danger o f worldliness, against the blinding, bew ildering effect o f wealth and com fort. . " N o man can serve tw o masters." A s salt m ust retain its integrity if it is t. be useful, and the eye its purity to be a fru itfu l guide, so sin cerity o f heart is necessary to unity rjrM jrjrirjrjrjrjrM CHEFS VS. COOKS W hile it is true that men make the best chefs it is not strictly true that they make the best cooks. A s a slight proof o f the pudding-- or some such old saw-- let us peer at this wee news item appearing in the papers last week-- " A Kansas City husband, Sam Brandy got up one m orning, and m oved by a good ly impulse, decided to surprise his w ife by m aking some coffee and baking some biscuits. Perhaps it would have been better if he had sloshed some water into his sleepy eyes. But he didn't, the consequence was that they both went to a hospital. Brandy got the containers m ixed and used insect powder instead o f the w ell-known baking powder. Both are reported as doing as well as can be expected." CUPID H ERE A N D TH ERE W hile Hollywood continues to give poor little Cupid many & nasty blow-- fo r instance Lupe, Velez, the fiery little Mexican and Johnny W eissmuller, form er holder o f the Olympic swimming record, have decided that they cannot go on. Married secretly, last October, this romance is on the rocks-- they both declare it is 50-50, which after all, is a nice w ay out o f the difficulty and more eivilized than-- say-- a certain w ell-know n crooner and his w ife, who have found it necessary to air their marital differences in the press. H owever-- let us look at Reno, fam ous or infamous biggest little city in the world. Here are some figures. In 1933 the m arriages recorded there were 4,600 and divorces 2,437. tn 1930-- m arriages 6,000-- divorces 2,609. So little Cupid while receiving nasty blows in California-- recovers nicely in Reno-- the law o f compensation-- W h a t? * * * * * * F or those who like statistics the follow ing will prove inter esting. It is found that the average housew ife spends seven hours daily, approxim ately 2,500 hours a year in kitchen and household duties. Further-- a housekeeper's hours spent dur ing a lifetim e o f dish-- w ashing probably aggregate fou r full years. &nd if you bake an apple pie, you walk 105 steps in and around the kitchen, doing it. These whim sical bits o f householding statistics are on the m thority o f Miss Edwina Nolan, home service director at Nela Park, electrical experiment laboratory in Cleveland. Miss Nolan's figures were gathered from a " survey," during which housewives in a thousand " average" homes were in terdewed. v ft Husbands, questioned too, admitted-- yes, 39.5 per cent, o f them-- that th ey helped their spouses with the dishes, but-- ietested the task. The upshot o f Miss N olan's findings is that the ideal kitchen, designed to save tim e and steps, should have its appurtenances arranged in a " U " shape. The " serving centre" should be as nearly adjacent to the dining room door as possible, with " a straight flow o f production extending through all `work centres' ," Miss Nolan points out. Mrs. A verage Housewife, by organizing her " centres," can bake a 22-step apple pie, thus saving 83 steps, the step economist goes on to say. It's the season when invitations m ay be dropped in with any mail, so it's well to be ready with one's party togs.
