chur 1t for the benefit of the co►mnu-
oily in which ho lived, but who had
etc money to back up his promises and
$!s orders on contractors. It is intt-
'ualed that ho is suffering from meutai
trouble due to death in hts family, and
cet'tuinly drealuere seldom go so far
a. to k•t contracts on their cnstlos in
the air. But the philanthropy ot
therm,: is one of the mast oonuuon of
human diversions.
\\'e often hear pn')ple

butler problem wishing they had a not -
lion Jailers, not for thea no)lves alone,
but as a means toward helping others.
'they divide up the imaginary fortune
and distribute the parts with as much
attention to detail as if they had the
cast& in bank. They also derive mile%
toy Bond self -approval from their gen -r-
osily, a soul -satisfying feeling that they
are doing good. The contrast they at-
fcrd to mel millionaires is particularly
grati(y.ng to them. So unselfish aro
they that they will give away half n
nuthon and keep no more than the
other ball for their own wants. It is
wonderfully affecting, though perhaps
the others who aro to be helped could
do the wishing nod imagining them -

The )nigh -Priestly Prayer. -A tilting
close to the long farewell' cunversali n
of Jesus with his disciples, w which he
hadsought to prepare them for the
coming disappointment and sorrow, and
III which ho had sought to direct their
attention beyond tho present, or even
the immediate future, to pilo ultimate
glorious culmination of his misslon and
ministry, was the simple, earnest, yet
sublimer prayer of Jesus for his disciples.
Jchn'a record of this prayer intervenes
between our last lesson and phis one.

Father ie that ht: follower.-, also may share
with him in this glory. flee departure
from earth will leave limn alone in ti*
midst of p:ersecuti01La and afflictions
which a world of unbelief will bring
upon thein. Jesus therefore eomniiis
therm to the care of the heavenly Father,
osking that they be kept (rein the evil,
and equipped for the sacred work which
is to devolve upon them. Having re -
cordal the words of lhL9 sublime peti-
tion, John omits all referent* 10 the
personal struggle in prayer which
Jesue must have hnd immediately after-

The peoplo who lived in (Ito upper

The housea were made out of adobe
clay, whrh was just the dirt tn'om the
plain round -about, nixed with water,
shaped into bricks and dried in the sun.
Juan's mother used to sprinkle ltto
floor every day to keep it damp, bcMauso
if it got too dry it turned into dust.
There was a nice 1itUc three.00mered

1hn pinion is almost tiro only tree
that grows on the dry hilts of New

green tree., full of twin, which makes
the wood burn with a very clear, beau-
tiful light. Juan used to go out on the
hills and gather 11:o dry huts of pinion
and bring Teem home for the fireplace.
In (he long winter evenings the only
light in lite house wouki Ise from the
dancing prunes. A bit of wall was built
mi' en one side of the fireplace, so that
ft cut off all cold draughts from the
door, and made it warm easy corner
