It comes nearer home when one or two of our own find themselves in that un- enviable position as they watch, with sinking feeling, their hard earned sav- hgs gradually diminish with no pro- mise of employment in the immediate future. Many have reached the end of their resources and it has been necessary, in quite a number of cases, to avail themselves of the provision or necessities by relief workers. The present unemployment situation 13 no respector of persons either. The skilled and the unskilled, the laborer. mechanics or artist all suffer and one can easily visualize the homes of the men where wives and children are en- 'are in real want, which municipalities during privations while many of them and relief organizations are meeting in a commendable way. The business world is also naturally keling the effects of the depression and the middle class business man with small manufacturies as well as others find their markets unresponsive 0r lacking. Although not actually among the unemployed. he and his family must live very sparingly, help- ing and sharing where he can as he too. catching ‘a glimpse of the grim spectre of want, is forced, unwillingly, to swell the crowd of the unemployed by dispensing with the services of some of his workers for a time until times improve. Occasionally we find those who de‘ predate the state 9f affairs existing find quite often they are the people _who are in comfortable circumstances. The thought of unemployment and dis- tress is disiturbing and it is so much easier to close their eyes to things as they are, failing to realize the need and the opportunity afforded of allevi- ating human distress and want. The work carried on for the relief of the unemployment situation is truly wonderful. At the same time each person should feel it to be his or her own responsibility to help wherever po<sible.

Vt hen she came down stairs adn found him theie she ran and pick- ed him up in such a hurry and tried to tell him not to eve go there again. ' I guess you know why she didn't want him to go on the road. But he was so little he couldn’t understand why she didn‘t want him to play there. And mind you, first thing she knew he was out there again. Oh! Mama Lady didn’t know what to do, and Rover barked. for he could see Mama Lady didn’t want Billy there. Well, this time Mama Lady had to give Billy a few spanks so he wouldn’t go again and then she tied the end of a long rope onto him so he couldn’t run away. Billy didn’t. like that very well, so when he said he'd be a good boy, in a few days, she took it oh, and he really was a real good boy; i But I want to tell you about Rover. Rover especially loved Billy. In fact, Mama Lady always knew Billy was safe if Rover was with him for he took such good care of him. But one day, when she was very busy, he forgot again. She thought of that old road right away as soon as she saw Billy and Rover were gone, and ran outside just in time to hear an awful noise, like a car makes when it has to stop xeal quick. “0h!" she thought ‘I \\ onder it Bills was on the road again.” And it made Mama Lady feel sick all over. When she got to the road here was a man holding Billy in his arms. coming towards her. and Rover was running alongside. ‘ "Is this your boy?" he said. "Oh. yes," said Mama Lady. “Is he hurt ?" "No. he is just frightened, but he was very nearly run over. You' can thank that wonderful dog of yours that he was ‘not run over though. I was coming along the road and could not see the child, but I did notice the dog standing on the road barking at something. I honked my horn for him to get off, but he wouldn't budge. Be- ing in a hurry, I kept on coming, ex- pecting him to get off. Of course I didn't want to run over the dog, al- though I felt like giving him a little scare. Then I noticed he was pulling at something and applied the brakes quick and shot off into the ditch. This little chap was seated in the middle of the road, doubled over, playing, I suppose, so he could hardly be seen.

By this time Billy. who was in MS. mother’s arms, could talk, attemhls! big were. and he looked up with his big blue eyes and said: “Billy not do' â€"pank Billy.

TORONTO l The whole parable is in two parts; gthe Prodigal Son is the subject of the .first part, the Elder Brother of the Isecond. The first part has constantly |been taken as the gospel itself in story form. 'This is quite right, but the objection has been raised that the Christian gospel is the gospel of the , Cross, and that there is not-hing about 3 the Cross nor about the Mediator here. 3 But this seems a somewhat superficial 'judgment. We speak of the Cross as revealing the Father’s love; in the story the father directly reveals his love, and there would be no place for » a mediator. But is there no cross in the story? When the father, lmowing his boy's character, let him go, when news came to the father of the dis- asters that had overtaken his son and of the shame to which he had brought himself, was there no Cross in the father’s heart? 01? this the boy had no inkling at the time. But when he Ihis speech short, and looking into his father’s face he realized what his de- parture had meant to him and still more ’.‘.e disgrace to which he had fallen. then surely the Cross was in his own heart! He was, as it were, 'lcrucified with his father. and.thelr Ireconciliation is effected veritably . . through a Cross. It is not really true, then, to say of this parable that it omits the Cross. II.

THE PRODIGAL SON. III. THE LOVING FATHER. ». THE GOSPEL IN THE PARABLE. Further, the parable indicates the nature of true love. A sentimental affection on the father’s part would have prevented the lad from ever! leaving home. It seems that, as the, younger son, he had the right to ex-; pect one-third of his father’s movable possessions at his father’s death, but he had no legal claim upon his patri- mony in his father’s lifetime. His father, therefore, might properly have refused his request. He might have compelled the boy to live at least outWardly a decent life. But the father was too strong and brave, too truly loving to do that. The boy must go and learn for himself. There is no other way that kind of boy can learn. Then, when the inevitable has hap- pened, his father will be ready for him, and home will be a new place. There is a Jewish saying, “when Israel is, reduced to the Carob-tree, they become the repentant.” The “husks which the swine did eat” are the carob-pods. The. possession of pigs, as well as the eating of them, was forbidden to Jews; the care of, pigs, therefore, was the lowest pos-‘ sible service to which a J ew could sink. If the father had been the kind of max. at all costs to keep his son from suffering, if he had been con- cerned for the family reputation in such a way as by any means to pre- vent a scandal, he would never have won his son. Nothing is harder than' to watch while some loved person “goes to the dogs,” but it seems that there are some people who can never be saved till they have brought them- selves “to the gutter.” They may slip away from (ecency and all the restraints and all the traditions of home, but they cannot slip away from their place in the Father’s hear-t. It is disaster that brings the Prodigal Son to his senses. The disaster, therefore, to which sin and folly lead 1 may all be part of the Father’s loving l purpose. But the Prodigal, though he ‘was repentant. was not yet saved. Repentance is here a disgusted turn- iing away from sin and a turning to. wards God. but it is not of itself sal- vation. III. THE LOVING FATHER. Once again, the father is not a sentimentalist; he does not pretend that nothing has happened. The boy‘ had been lost and is now found. He is, as it were, risen from the dead. He is indeed reinstated at home, but neither to him nor to his father will home be what it was before. In the old days he had been unwillingly kept at home; home had irked him, and of what home really means he had no idea. His father held him, but never possessed him, but now his fathe. possesses him for ever. He knows his father as he neither knew nor could have known him before. We may imagine that both the father and the son, as they look ba-zk over the dread- BY ANNABELLE WORTHINGTON Good taste in bogs for 2, 4 and 6 year old, must necessarily remain simple.

Increasing Divorce Rate Adds to China’s Troubles Peiping, China.-â€"1\iore than 800 suits for divorce were filed in the Peiping district courts during 1930 and 90 per cent. of them were instit- uted by women. Canton reported nearly 200 diVorces during the same period, while Shanghai averages above eighty divorce suits a month. The striking thing about these statistics, according to accounts In the native press, ls that only a small proportion of unsatisfactory mar- riages reaches the law courts, for the government is still indifferent to what it regards fundamentally as a family affair. Thousands of coolles are married and divorced without public record of either event. Divorces are much more common, therefore, than the figures alone would indicate. Many Chinese ob- servers declare that the situation is far more critical than all the other woes of this troubled country. Angry Shareholdé-r: “May I ask what has happened to our sinking fund?"

Feminine Jobs Columbia Survey Shows Now Enter Men's Occupations; Careers of 900 Studied New Yorkâ€"Despite the much-her alded entry of woman into business and professional life, the self-support;- ing woman of to-day continues to fol- low the traditional occupations of wo- man and does not encroach upon the occupational domain of man, accord- ing to a nation-wide survey of jobs and salaries of women college graduates just completed by Dr. Roy N. Ander- Eon, associate in guidance and person- nel at Teachers' College, Columbia University, results of which are to be published soon by the National Edu- cation Association. From his study of records of about 900 women, all of whom were college graduates or former college students. Dr. Anderson reported that college wo- men were nondiscriminating in their choice of an occupation. that most at them turned to education or clerical work, and that attendance at a busi- ness school in addition to regular col- legiate work remained an invaluable asset in commanding maximum earn- ings. f m mar case Yogi; College women enter a very restrict:- ed range of occupations, according to the survey. which showed that 66 per cent. took up routine clerical occupa- tions. such as stenographer, secretary, typist. telephone operator and book- keeper. The next largest group wan home economics, which included about 12 per cent. in such positions as tea- room managers, dietitians, competitions and nurses. Only 5 per cent. of the women entered education, although Dr. Anderson points out that the place- ment‘bureaus were not primarily con- cerned with educational positions. The 900 women had entered but twenty-eight occupations out of a total of 538 listed by the census bureau, the survey showed. Dr. Anderson account- ed for this by saying that manufactur- ing and domestic jobs were automatl- cally barred from consideration by col- lege graduates and that “the majority of women who leave college take the finst job that comes their way." Study or the salaries received show- ed that the college graduate received highest beginning salaries as teacher. social worker, or secretary, while saleswomen received the lowest. Such figures compare unfavorably with salâ€" aries received by business and profes- sional women. Dr. Anderson said, add- ing that the greater experience and age of the latter group were largely responsible. Typical annual salaries received were $1,314 for stenograph- ers, $1,100 for typists, $980 for sales- women, $1,106 for libraries and $1,503 for social workers. ' The income of college students less than nineteen years old averaged $976, that of the group of graduates between twenty and twenty-four years was $1,027, while those over forty-five aver- aged $1,500. according to Dr. Ander- son's tabulation. The chances for increasing one's sat arias in occupations entered by thc majority of college women are “rather limited," according to Dr. Anderson. although earnings showed a tendency to increase with age and experience. Comparing earnings of those grad- uates who had taken only college work with those who had also taken work in a. business school, Dr. Anderson found that the business school student earn- ed an average of $100 a year more and that “it pays financially for college students to secure business school training.” Only 10 per cent. of the women studied were married, while 4 per cent. had been divorced or were wid- ows. according to Dr. Anderson, who explains that "these women were only recently graduated from college and have not had the opportunity to mar- ry.” “Everything in modern civilization depends on civilization."â€"â€"Paul Pain- leve. “Oh, dear, Johnny, have you been fighting again?" “No, miss; W0 moved yesterday, and I moved tho cat."-â€"Passing Show.
