About Wee Chickies and Other Little Friends I told you last week that when they first brought Fluffy, the persian pussy, home, Rover didn‘t care about it very much, Of course he wouldn‘t hurt her because ho knew Fluffy belonged to the house just as much as ho did, but one day just shortly after Fluffy came she was outside enjoying a sun bath. llamma and Billy were up town and Rover thought it would be fun to make Fluffy run and he actually chased her up a tree. She was so surâ€" prise* to think he‘d run after her, but she found che could climb a treo alâ€" Mamma Lady looked hard at Rover and said, "Rover, did you chase Flufly up there? Shame! I didn‘t think you‘d do that." And Rover hung his head and came over slowly, then when he got to Mamma Lady he put up his paw to shake hands. That was his way of saying he was sorry. But Mamma Lady had to punish him for doing that so he wouldn‘t do it again, and she This tastes very good with a ham and eggs dinner.

Londonâ€"Many collecting families which have been long settled in one house have been known to discover hidden treasure in some neglected atâ€" tic. _ It is now disclosed that Queen Mary, herself an ardent collector, lias made several interesting d‘scoverios of this kind. Not long ago, she found in Buckingham Palace. [ understand to her surprise aad «dlelight, a gay‘!y painted Chinese wallpaper, acquired by King George IV, stored away and forgotten. The â€" beautiful, and â€" incidentally valuable, wallpaper row adorus one of the sitting rooms in theâ€" palace, known as the Yellow Drawing Room because the colorâ€"scheme is carried out in a charming, clear,, jasmineâ€" yellow.â€"Collector, But Fluffly got back at Rover after a few days for running after her like that. She wasn‘t quite so afraid of him now when he‘d come in the house. This is what she did: You see, when Rover is glad he wags his big tail, which is his way of saying he is hapâ€" py. Well, when he came in one day feeling awfully good and wagging his brushy tail like a good fellow, Fluffy was behind him and she started to play with it. He was so surprised and stopped and looked round at her, But Fluffy knew he couldn‘t come after her with Billy around. She just hid until he stopped looking at her and as soon as he wagged it again she grabâ€" bed it again, and the only way he could keep Fluffy from pulling at his long hair was to keep it real still, and such a funny look came into his brown eyos. _ Ho didn‘t like standing still when ho was feeling glad and not be able to wag his tail. Do you know, he had to go off in a corner if he wanted t~ wag his tail in comfort. Fluffy was pretty smart that time, don‘t you think? But I wonder what Jimmie Chick and the three little chick sisâ€" ters have been doing all this time. We‘re going to find out next issue. Her Majesty Discovers _ _ Quaint Wallpaper Well, Fluffy was away up in the tree seeing all this, and when Mamma Lady looked up at her and called her, she was so excited and delighted she couldn‘t stand still. She called her again, and do you know what Fluffy did? She didn‘t climb down this time but she jumped down all the way. It may be she lost her balance, for the branch was so little away up there and she wasn‘t used to climbing yet. Anyway she jumped down all that way, and what do you think? She landed right on her paws. Kitties always fall on their paws if they slip, did you ever know that? They never fall on their sides where it would hurt like everyâ€" thing, the way we would most likely fall,. No, they never do. Well, when she plunked down right beside Mamma Lady she didn‘t run either,. No, she knew Rover wouldn‘t run after ber‘ again if Mamma Lady was there, so she just waited until Mamma Lady‘ picked her up and took her into the house. ‘ took his head in her hand and slapped the side of his nose a few times, Not very hard, for, did you know, you don‘t often need to punish animals very hard to make them mind. But then you mustn‘t let them off altogether, either, for they must know what is right and what is wrong just the same as little boys and girls must be taught. Don‘t you think so? Mrs. Brown: "You used to call me your turtle dove." Mr. Brown: "Well, I was someâ€" thing of a bird, myself, in those days." It is not clear whether the second part of v. 8 is a saying of Jesus or a comment by the evangelist. "When the So1 of Man comes, will he find" (not "faith" but) "the faith on che earth?" The words "the faith" seem naturally to mean "true Christianity," and it is perhaps right to suppose that the words are the comment of some disheartened Church leader, who does not doubt ‘hat soon Christ wi‘l come, but who is gravely disquieted about th state of the Church. In any case, the point of the parable seems to be this: your prayers for deliverance seem not to be answered; vou are doubting whether God will do his vnart, but the real question is whether you will do yours; of course God will vindicats his elect, but ars you sure that vyou will be found numbered among the elect? II THE PHARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN, 18: 9â€"14. Selfâ€"righteousness is the subject of this story, The public and official worship of the Temple was almost exâ€" clusively sacrificial; but the Temple sourts, it would seem, were also used for private prayer. It is difficult to see how far the "prayer" of the Pharisee may properly be called a prayer a* all; he givs thanks to God for the blessedness »f his condition, tut the impression is left with us that the Pharisee is not so much grutefull to God for the gifts of God‘s grace as ke is boasting before God of his own: attainments. He as ione more than the Law requires; he has fasted on; Mondays and Thursday (the Chrisâ€" tians, to be different, chose Wednesâ€" days and Fridays for their fasts) ; he has paid tithes, n> only on his proâ€" duce, as the Law required. but on the whole of his income; he has avoided the open sins of the worldling. A not Gissimilar praver of a rabbi has come down to us: "I thank thee, 0 Lord my (od, that thou hast put my part with those who sit in the Academy, and not with those who (liks moneyâ€"changers and traders) sit at the corners. For I rise earlv. and they rise early; I sise carly to the words of the Law, and they to vain things; T labor and they labor: T labor and receive a reward: they labor and receive no reward; 1 run and they run ; I run to the life of the world to come, and they to the pit By "avenging his elect" we are preâ€" sumably to understand the deliverâ€" ance, vindication and justification of those who have been faithful through trial and persecution. The parable, as we have it, seems to deal in genâ€" eral with the questior of prayers that seem to be unanswored, and in parâ€" ticular with the sufferinges and trials of the Church between the death of Jesus and his eage:ly expected rsâ€" turn. Let the persecuted Church take h‘eart: God will speedily "avenge his elect." For some reason or other the unâ€" just judge does not want to right the woman‘s wrong, but in the end beâ€" cause of her importunity he listens to her, thinking it will on the whole be less bother to him to be rid of her. We must not understand by the parâ€" able that God, who otherwise would not trouble to answer our prayers, will in the end answer them if we bother him enough. God does not anâ€" swer our prayers because of our imâ€" portunity, but we are to go on asking him without ever despairing, because we know he will answer our grayers. This is another instance of the "how much more" argument which Jesus so often employed in his teaching about God; if even an unjust judge in the end will listen to prayers, how much more shall God, who loves his children. in the end (in his own good time) anâ€" swer their prayers! _ _ April 26. â€"Lesson IVâ€"How to Prayâ€" Luke 18. 1â€"14. Goldem Textâ€"Lord, teach us to pray.â€"Luke 11: 1. 1. THE PARABLE OF THE UNJUST JUDGE, 18: 1â€"8. The point of the parable is io show that Christians are to pray "at all times" (that is, even when their prayâ€" ers seem not to be answered) and not to faint or give up in despair. The jndge in the story is perhaps a local magistrate, or »mne of the two regular policeâ€"cuurt magistrates in Jerusalem, who, because they sat continuously, were paid out of the Temple treasury. There are various references to the "ignorance, arbitrariness and covetâ€" ousness" of such men. In v. 5 a very strong expressiâ€" n is used, "lest in he end she come and give me a black eye," but perhaps this is not meant literally. t 1. THE PARABLE OF THE UNJUST JUDGE, 18: 1â€"8. II. THE PHMARISEE AND THE PUBLICAN, 18:; 9â€"14. Sunday School ANALYSIS. One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warnings.â€"J. R. Lowell. "When I got home last night," said the struggling author, "I found that burglars had been in my place." "Really!" exclaimed his friend. "What happened? Did they take anything*" ‘;They searched _ through _ every drawer in the flat and then left $2.00 on my desk." What is meant by saying that che publican is justified rather than the other? "Justified" is strictly a term taken from the law courts and means "acquitted." It applies here that a!l men are sinful in God‘s eyes, and all must pray, "forgive us our tresâ€" passes," but that "a broken and conâ€" ‘rite heart" is more acceptable to God than a proud and selfâ€"satisfied rightâ€" ecusness. Humility is the right attiâ€" tude of man before God, and the :onâ€" ship to which we are called is not an easy and lighthearted companionsaip and familiarity. _ of destruction." It would be a great mistake, however, to suppose that these prayers give us a complete and normal picture of the piety of the Pharisaic party. Moreover the Phuriâ€" see in the narable does not seem to be wholly condemned; the publican reâ€" turns to his house with a heart more acceptable to God than the Pharisee‘s because he has a greater sense of moral realities, but the righteousness of the Pharisee is not despised. _ It :s.very fashionable too in plain crepe silk in navy blue.

The commission urged also that all civil servants be prohibited from accepting remunerative jobs outside their regular civil service, Short Hours and One Job Offered As Solution The commission headed by the former Minister of Labor, Heinrich Brauns, believed that shortening of working hours would afford an®opâ€" portunity for at least part time work to many who now are without jobs.
