d The Home "MId pleasures and palaces, though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home." Home life 1s the same the world over. It means the living together of members of families, each home a small world in itself. A mother, afer bringing up a large family, said after visiting them in their respective homes, 1s ag different a% cin be. I don't see where they all came from and why their homes are not more alike, when they were all brought up,under the same roof." Yet there is a similarity. The stamp of the teachings and lives of the parents is indelibly marked on the future lives of their children in a more or less degree. In the home ara taught the first ways to work, how to do things efliici- ently and well. If one can also secure inspiration !t 13 surely a haven from which much good will come, It is the place whera the hest as well as the worst is seen, where toler- ance and unselfishness make for the happy home and where thoughtless. . ness and unkindness make for the un- happy home, Naturally because of the closeness and intimacies of home life, controversies will arise. "Tell me what you quarrel about and I will tell you what you are," was the pointed title of an excellent magazine article. Then we mothers must make the home beautiful and comfortable for our own. We should study color to have the rooms restful and harmoni- ous, study foods and their values to keep the body healthy and study home economics in all its phases to make it truly successful. One enters one house where all may We beautiful but it lacks the atmosphere of home. In another is immediately imparted to one the friendly warm atmosphere of the perfect home where joy and love reign supreme, It is here the young must be taught the first great-lessons of life under the firm hand of the ones who love them the hest, and it surely depends on the kird of homes we give our children as to the kind of citizens our boys and girls will become. Great characters come from great homes, and, it is what takes pace be- hind the closed door in the, secrecy of family life that builds the nation to greatness more surely than all other things together, governments, business or industries, for it is from char » that good citizenship But put grows, It fon is the first necessity in the making of that character since religion is the great father of all that is good Ventilation and Warmth "Although ! + they are all my children, each home umn days will make way for the more sombre shades and chill of late fall. Furs and heavy coats are brought out after their long rest in their moth bags; they are examined and brushed and their cosy warmth feels good. The furnace, long since black and cold, is sought to cheer the rooms with heat, It is well to remember the import: ance of having sufficient moisture in the closed up rooms; artificial heating needs artificial moisture to keep the rooms right. This can be done by having water pans attached to the ra- diators or on or near the hot air regis- ters, as well as keeping the furnace water pans filled. The singing of the tea kettle as it sends forth its steam might well keep up its song, at the game time giving off steady curling streams of moisture. Dry air is hard on the nose, throat and lungs, afid it is a fact that one feels comfortable in a much lower temperature if there is proper humidity in a heated room. A quick change of alr every few hours by opening the windows for a few minutes is also a good practice and it is surprising how quickly the fresh air will warm up again and one feels a new sense of ' comfort, because of the oxygen admit- ted.

Children's Earnings Children like to be given an oppor- tunity to make a little money. If there is no chance for them to sell flowers, magazines, papers or any other article pay them for helping in the garden, around the house, with the dishes or cookjng.

INTRODUCTION -- Simo Peter ap- pears in the Gospel according to Mark first of all as a fisherman with his brother Andrew, at the sea of Galilee, casting a net in the sea. Jesus called them to follow him and they left the nets and followed. It is quite evident from this story that they had known Jesus before and had listened to his teaching. They were, therefore, in some measure prepared for the call to full discipleship. . This harmonizes with the story told in the Gospel of John, according to which Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist to whom John pointed out Jesus, calling him "the Son of God." Andrew then foi- lowed Jesus and brought to him alsa his brother Peter, John 1: 35-42, They had apparently been disciples of Jesus for a time during his early ministry, had then returned to their home in Capernaum, and were now called to be permanently with him. In Mark's list of disciples Peter is given first place (3: 13-19), as also on Matthew (10: 2-5) and Luke, 6: 12-16. He was one of the 'hree, Peter, James and John, who seem to have formed an inner circle about the Master, and whom he brought into a closer intim- This is where the modern town of Banias now stands and is a place of great natural beauty situated more than a thousand feet above the level of the sea. Here Jesus appears to have sought retirement and opportun- ity for closer conversation with his disciples. A crisis in his ministry was approaching. Believing that he was the Messich, the Kin, the Sa-' viour, predicted by the prophets and long looked for by the people, he knew | that the public announcemen. of this fact could not be much longer delayed. ! He had been preaching the coming of, the kingdom of God. Now he must declare himgelf as King. Would the . people accept him? Would the multi- tudes who had been thronging about him acknowledge him as King and Lord? Could he rely upon his littie band of disciples to stand by him? Knowing now full well that the malice of his enemies would not stop short of his death, he must have desired to know how such an announcement would affect their minds. The an- nouncement, he felt, nust be made in order that the 'xinds of his disciples might be prepared for such a tragedy and that they might be assured that this was not the end. The answer of the disciples to Jesus' first question (1. 27) reveals to us something of what was being said in the towns and vi'lages of Galilee about him by those who had listened to his teaching. One of the great prophets of a former age had come to life again, they said, or it was John the Baptist escaped from Herod's prison, and not really dead as had been reported. But the answer of Peter to hia. second question (v. 29) must have greatly pleased him. Peter, believing his be- loved Master to be indeed the prom- ised King and Savior, the Messiah, the Christ, speaking for all the dis- ciples, made his great confession-- "Thou are the Christ." First of that great company of confessors, who would through the coming centuries believe and declare their faith in him, Jesus saw in Peter the living rock upon which his church would be built (compare Enh. 2: 20-22). So it has takes the heartbreak out of saying good-bye, now that we can talk to one another so easily by tele * The telephone calls were made as promised, and Mrs. Martin's sister was so impressed with' the courtesy of the Bell Telephone operator at the big city terminus that she wrote the station master, The to be a trouble, and she not Altogether, 1 had a most de TE em monn see nial. Like the other disciples he had fl'd from the scene of the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane. But his flight was only for the moment. John tells us that Peter and another disciple fol- lowed Jesus, 18: 15-16. One .an im- agine the state of mind into which they had fallen. Peter was no coward. In the garden heshad drawn his sword : * had struck a blow in defence of his Master, in spite of the fearful odds - hich were against im. But Jesus had bidden him put up his sword. His whole being. must have been aroused in flaming protest against what he saw--his Lord whom he had confessed now helpless in the power of his en- emies. If Peter could have led the band of disciples in battle for Jesus to attempt his rescue there would have been no denial. But unable to do any- thing, for the moment, only his faith failed. He denied his Lord. III. A GREAT LOVE, John 21: 15-17. The true disciple appear again in Peter's reconciliation and forgiveness. His deep and abiding love for Jesus prevails. His final commission from the Lord is to be a shepterd of the flock of Christ. eer midi Echoes Echoes of Summer reach my heart to- day, Like mystic music, borne from the far- away; Elusive strains like wind o'er waving wheat, .

"We will have to meet that by increased speed and with the safety facilities at our disposal. The time of land travel between London and Paris already compares measurably "with that by air. At the same time we are con- fronted with the mecessity of mak- ing travel by rail more agreeable and comfortable by attention to proper heating and cooling, and progress along this ling is rapidly being made. Train Requirements "Train travellers should have facili- ties reasonably equivalent to those provided by ocean liners when under- taking a journey across the contin- ent," declared Sir Henry. Shower baths, moving pictures, gymnasiums, are among the require- ments of this sort now being supplied by some transcontinental trains.

The Russian peasant still goes into winter quarters in November, and never thinks of bathing until he ccmes out in the spring. In some parts of Spain, two baths suffice for a lifetime, one by the mid-wife, the other by the undertaker. . "The Finnish mother sews her chil- dren up in the fall, and provides for a change of clothes in the spring. The writer once found such a sewed-in child suffering from smallpox in a New York tenement. The mother re- fused to have the clothing removed be- cause she knew the health officer would destroy it. "But we are beginning to cultivate more cleanly habits. "The wearinz of underclothing which may be frequently changed, pro- tects our outer garments from soiling with body wastes; but our outer gar- ments, especially those of men, store up accumulations of germs and dirt from a great variety of sources. The dark colors conceal the cirt, which brushing and even the dry cleaners do not remove, Sir Henry pointed out that "by good will, sympathy, recognition of eco- nomic principles, by a desire to serve, we, in the transportation industry, are making notable contributions to our respective countries. By com- pliance - with the rules of our own groups, we encourage obedience to the laws of our countries."
