Mamma Lady looked to see what it was and you could never guess what it was, I'm sure. It was®a beautiful butter- fly, all gold and black, lying on the floor, and it was so cold she thought it was dead, for its two lovely wings were tight together. She picked it up gently and laid it on the window ledge in the sun to let it get a warm sun bath. All morning it stayed there with folded wings, then at noon she went over and touched it ever so carefully, and, "Oh," she cried to Billy, "Come, all. We just got it in time," and sure enough it unfolded its wings back and forth, back and forth, slowly and gracefully, but she found it couldn't use its little feet yet.

The time-honored equine traction has been constantly dwindling of late years with the ever increasing adop- tion of motor cars, but enough horses are still used for heavy commercial traffic to cause serious congestion. " The ministry of transport recently announced an experimental scheme operative during the coming spring by which Oxford Street, one of the great east and west thoroughfares, will be closed daily to all slow mov- ing traffic, including horse drawn ve- hicles, between noon and 7 p.m. The regulations, which also forbid yehicles standing and turning, will, it is hoped, result in a continuous flow of trafic down this famous street, which .now is one of the worst con- gested in London.

OUR NEIGH3ORS, 10: 36, 37. INTRODUCTION--According to Luke the lawyer asked his question in order to "tempt" or "catch" Jesus. What answer did he expect Jesus to give' Possibly he was asking Jesus what distinguished his teaching from that of the other rabbis; perhaps he though that Jesus might disparage the law of Moses and thus pF Jewish sympathy; it is far from clear. In Mark 12: 28-31 the incident is differently told, perhaps more accur-j ately, cr possibly it is a different in- cident. I. THE LAW OF LOVE, 10 . V. 27. This combination of Deut. 6: 6 with Lev. 19: 18 was familiar in the teaching of the rabbis of the day. 1 V. 28. Jesus' answer must not be taken to mean that a man can save his own soul by good works; for "love" is not a work, but an attitude! that issues in works. It 1s hard to! find much real distinction between "saving faith" and saving love. To "live" in this vers: means to enter into eternal life, or, as we say, heaven. | II. THE PARABLE OF THE 'GOOD saman-| ITAN, 10: 20-35. ! V. 29. A parable is a story taken from onz uspect of life to illustrate or interpret another. Thus the working of yeast illustrates the secret growth of the kingdom. The Good Samaritan story, therefore, is not strictly a par- able, but a dircct illustration. Pre- sumably the story was told in Judea where the dangerous Jericho road would be well known. It is some twenty-one miles from Jerusalem to Jericho. It (was a steep and rocky mountain path often runaing through narrow gorges in which ware caves where robbers could hide. So steep is the road that in fifteen miles it de- scends nearly four thousand fect, Vs. 81, 32. The priest and the Le- vite knew that they were bound to help a "neighbor"; perhaps we are 70 sup- pose that, having no positive proof that he was a "neighbor," they felt free to leave him; perhaps they thought he was probably dead, an they would not risk the chance of be- ing made "unclean" by contact with a dead body. In either case they were moved by selfish motives; their own comfort or convenience was more iml portant to them than the chance of Lelping some one who might need them. V. 83. The Samaritans were regardl ed by the Jews as being both foreign- ers and heretics. When Samaria, the c. pital of the old northern kingdom, had been sacked seven hundred and more years ago, it had been largely repeopled by foreign immigrants. No doubt the Samaritans in the time of Christ were a mixed race, but so in fact were the Jews lo a less extent. The Samaritans worshipped the same 1 8, was the hero. There is still a handfull of Samar ans living in Palestine at Nablus, the ancient Scchem. V. 34. Ii the Samaritan was a com- mercial traveler, he would have one ass for himself and another for his samples. About half way down the road there are still to be seen the ruins of an ancient khan or hostelry which may mark the sit? of the one mentioned in this story. V. 85. The s1m corresponds to about fifty cents, but it would buy more then than today. 111. OUR NEIGHBORS, 10: 36, 37. V. 37. What is to "do likewis2"? Our neighbor is not merely the man who lives close to us, vr who belongs t. our own race »: party, buf any person who needs our help. The ap- plication of this principle is infinitely more colaplicated today than it was when civilization was simpler. "Those who liv2 in our cities never grow the food thev eat; those who live on our farms never make the machinery they use; common articles Jf everyday fool, tea, coffee, cocoa, rice, sugar, salt, pepper come to our doors from the ends of the earth. When the women of Europe and America give up wear- ing hairnets, thousands are thrown out of work in China; the price of soap in our markets affects the lives and fortunes of the islanders in the Pacific. Through the economic unifi- cation of the world the problems of neighborhood, mutual dependence, need and responsibility have become most intricate. We cannot say that, because we have never seen the min- ers who hew the coal for our furnace orscoolies who tend the tea which we drink or the darkies who toil over the cotton fields for the fabric of our clothes, therefore they are no neigh- bors of ours. On the contrary, the support of home and foreign mission- ary work, the faitliful service in poli- tics and business are required of Christian neighborliness today. !Hlustrated Dressmaling Lesson Fur- nished With Every Pattern Dashing youth will enjoy this sportsy model of crepe printed silk.

"Don't you remember?" she went on. "It was a pair of carpet slippers 1 presented to you the Christmas be- fore we were married that led to our marriage. You remember how nicely they fitted, don't you? Well, John, one day when we were going out to a party you had your feet on the carriage seat, and when you weren't looking I took your measurements. But for that pair of slippers I don't believe we'd ever have been married." A young man, sitting on the other side of the carriage with a girl, im- mediately removed his feet from the seat. replied John PINIEINID SE Artificial Epilepsy Cases Give Clue to Causes Cincinnati. -- Artificial epilepsy fis produced in animals at the University of Cincinnati. > This Cincinnati discovery adds to accumulating evidence that this dis- ease is associated with a small area in the base of the brain, called the tuber cinereum The artificial attacks are produced by injuries to the tuber worked out by Dr Lawrence O. Mor- gan, assistant professor of anatomy in the College of Medicine. He has found that epileptics have diseased or abnormal conditions in this little area, and that it has a direct relation to fever and control of blood - pressure. The Cincinnati research follows work of other brain experts, who find the tuber cinerum related to hot and cold "flashes," changes in utilization of food, loss of recovery of consclous- ness, activity of hormones and changes in size of the pupil of the eye.
