It is the story of the woman who was a sinner, who came to the house of Simon the Pharisee when Jesus sat at meat. and began to wash His feet with tears, and wipe them with the hair of her head. and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment (Luke 7 :44).

There are 9,500 insane pe0ple reported as such, and doubtless more whose condition is concealed or not under- stood by their relatives. There is one government asylum for the insane.

If men condemn us or do not understand or appreciate us. we may still rest in quietness and content because our Master knows us and will do us no wrong.

Sixteen soon put out their garments of snow white. but one was sickly and pale. Upon investigation. the gardener discovered that the floral invalid had spent too much time in the society of a nearby clematis. Now the clematis is not. properly speaking. a social plant, but a tloral climber. Finding the lily bulb so close at hand, however. the clematis sent out one little feeler, then another, and another. until it wound its slender throttling arms about the lily bulb. and choked it."
