There is this; important ;function: or that social call until after awhile we, hardly know what our, own home looks like after twilight falls. In this way a habit le often formed and. before we know it a restlessness takes hold of one at the mere thought of staying at home. Eventually; however, . one is apt to get too much of this continual call for outside affairs and we look longingly at the quiet room with its comfortable chaire and unused books and magazines. But we find we can- not stay at home for we have bound ourselves with'. other obligations. Af- ter all, we are our own masters, or should he, and it may take a good struggle to keep certain specified times for home, but it is worth it. Each one in the family needs this family life at being together in re- creation. It removes the danger of drifting apart, All too soon the girls and boys grow up, establish their own homes and are gone never to return in the same relation. It le too bad things are not balanced more evenly for on the other hand we have the shut-ins, those who are tied down because of sickness or little children. They long for a change of• scene. However the old world is of- ten contrary, for it may be when these same shuti-ns are free they might wish for the old days when they were bound by home ties. It helps if we remember that these home ties are the cords which bind us to the spot from which come great things and in those hours of enforced quiet the time may be used as an outlet into the great stream of knowledge gained by read- ing or study. Before we know it we will welcome this seclusion and find the once irksome ties have become open roads to future betterment, In the books we read are revealed a world of wisdom and of dream people. 21 is said that if we were to spend our three score years in constant reading we could not begin to read all. the good books which harebeen written. It is well to think about theee things in the hurry of our every -day lives.

Good Advice Dont be what you ain't, Jes' be what you is. If you not what you am, Then you am not what you is. If you're just a little tad -pole, Don't try to be a frog. If you're just the tall, Don't try to wag the dog. You cau always pass the plate, If you can't exhort and preach. If you're just a little pebble, Don't try to be the beach.

Pot Roast and Stews It is said if the cook can make good stews and pot roasts it id the proof of her capabilities and she le crowned queen of the kitchen.

Cover tight and boil ten minutes, and don't peak until the ten minutes is up. If the gravy is good and rich the egg may be omitted, adding enough milk to make a batter that will drop. * tl. c Y, Advice to the Deaf Damp is bad for interior gears.

ANALYSIS I. THE LOYAL PESSIMIST, 11: 14-16. IL. THE QUESTIONER, 14: 6-8. III. THE DOUBTER, 20: 24-29; 21: 1, 2. INTRODucTioN—There areseveral examples in the Old and New Testa- ments of men who passed through per- iods of doubt and questioning. The most familiar of these is Job, who, though a man, "Perfect and apright, one that feared God and eschewed evil,". yet .found .,himself bereaved, sorely afflicted and outcast, as it seemed by the hand of the God whom he had faithfully served. His insistent and perplexed complaint and question- ing is answered only by the unsatisfy- ing dogmatism of his friends, until there breaks upon his sight a vi- sion of God in creation and providence, inaking the world and governing it in his infinite power, wisdom end good- ness, and by this vision his faith is restored and his c:istress of mind re- lie'ed. Similar doubts and cuestion ing appeal in the experiences ;,o frank- ly revealed in Psalms 73, 77, 89, and in Jeremiah 12: 1-2; 15: 15-18; 20: 7-lv. That the way of faith was not always easy for the disciples of Jesus appears again and again in the gos- pel narrative. Thomas seems to have found the way of understanding and of faith particularly hard. His story recalls to us Tennyson's answer to the statement that "doubt is devil -born" (In Memoriam, xcvi). He tells of one whom he knew, "Who touch'd a jar-:ing lyre at first, But eve: strove to make it true; Perplext in f aith, but pure in deeds, At length he beat his music out. And, he. adds, "He fought his doubts and gather'd strength, and ... thus he came at length To find a stronger faith his cwn." So we may believe it was with Thomas, of whom an early Christian story relates that he carried the gospel message to India, founding there a Christianthisday. church which continues to I. THE LOYAL PESSIMIST, 11: 14-16. It was some time during the last months of Jesus' ministry, in the per- iod of his Perean ministry, that Jesus proposed to his disciples a visit to Jer- usalem. He had received a message from Bethany telling him of the sick- ness of his beloved friend Lazarus. Knowing how bitter was the enmity of the ruling class in Jerusalem against him (see 11: 47-48), the dis- ciples sought to persuade him not to go. They feared that lie would go to his death. To Jesus, however, the way of duty seemed clear. He walked, as he ever did, in the light of his Fath- er's will— in such a light there was, he said, for himself and them no stumbling. The disciples doubted and hesitated. There may have been a disposition among them to refuse to g with him. It was Thomas who spoke the decisive word, "Let us also go that we may die with him." A pessimist, he takes a dark view of what lies before, but he is no coward. II. THE QUESTIONER, 14: 5-8. There must have been much in the sayings of Jesus which these men who were so loyally attached to him found difficult to understand, Theyecould not easily put aside their expectation of a glorious Messianic kingdom in which they drould have a part. But Jesus now spoke of going away from them and coming again. Where was that place to which he was going and where, he said, he would prepare a place for them? Jesus said, "Whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.' Thomas replied, "Lord, we know not whither thou goes' and how can we know the way?" Of the answer of Jesus to this question Professor Man- son writes, "Jesus answers that the way is himself. Thomas eL et surely have been conscious, while he walked with Christ, of: being led in a certain direction, nee can he really have doubted that that was the direction to God. Can he not, therefore, now that Jesus is leaving his side, continue on in that direction, and believe that it will lead to the goal? . . The Father it the Goal of Life, in whom our rest is won, and Christ is the true and Iiy- ing Way to his presence." Fcllowing in his footsteps, endeavoring to live as he lived, obedient to his teaching, we find the way. Instructed by him, by his deedsas well as by his words we learn the truth. In him, through faith, we see the power of an endless life, and from hini we receive not only ex- ample and teachings, but life itself, the eternal life which both here and here- after we live with God. III. THE DOUBTER, 20: 24-29; 21: 1, 2. There is no doubt that to those who have yielded obedience to Jesus Christ and have put their rust in him, there does come the higher and mgrs satis- fying evidence of his living and abid- ing presence in the Spirit. What be- came of his'body we do not know. It may have been transformed into some spiritual essense which stilbore the marks of his passi All that is mys- tery. But the reality of his life with us who believe, and in us, we do not, and cannot doubt. Like Thomas we say, "My Lord and my God!" Autumn By Ann -Sherburne The lady Autumn is in town, You'll know her by her tawny gown, The berries in her hair; Her same are filled with goldenrod, And everywhere that she has trod, There's incense in the air, The pungent smell of brown leaves burning (Only a few are still left turning , Upon the naked trees); The last ripe apples on the ground, Mingle their scent with asters, found By drowsy golden bees. The birds no longer sing the gay Unceasing songs of Summer's day, Butjegather for their flight; Fat sparrows gossip: in the eavee, A cricket chirps midst fallen leaves, Mist veils the night. He was new to the yachting genie— in fact, he was just helping a friend handle his boat during the regatta. So it was no wonder that his face .as- sumed a mystified expression at the skipper's command. He turned to a sailor near him. "Tell me," begged he.

So, too, arrived four great noble- men from Norway to take land in the southwest of the island. A little later came Queen Aud the Deep Minded, widow of the Norse Kink Olaf the White of Dublin, with kinsmen teed noblemen and servitors,' to take pos- session of land in the north and west- ward, estward, And these last brought Chris- tianitywith them anew into the is- land. So there was in Iceland the blood of the Norse and the blood of the Irish. Tbey lived a stern and simple fife in a pastoral land that was also a land of the sea. Close to its shores Row the warm current of the gulf stream and thus warm airs drive away the rigorous cold from part of the land. Hay grew wild and sweet for their cat- tle; there were meadows tor their sheep; in the sea were great stores or fish; on the breasts of the older duck grew a marvelous down for many uses. Code of Laws Framed But as the nation grew, a wider government was needed, and a mai named Ulfijot, from Norway, was call- ed up to frame a code of laws. The result of three years' work was Ulfl- jot's law, and Iceland adopted it in 930. By this code was the Althing es- tablished to meet each summertime. It is said that a man named .Grim Goatshoe traveled all over the island to find the best place for the Althing and finally he found the Thingvallir,. "4 strange, volcanic, noon -like re- gion," the road lined with immense tall stones A. sight for solemn thoughts and stern measures, this Al - thing plain. The Althing .was,like a sanctuary, but there were times when 11 was violated, as rival chieftains came with armed followers and fought on the sacred soil of the Tliiugvaliir. To pre- vent these abuses the court of the Al - thing was established. That all might know the law it was publicly recited there each year. None the less, the land was filled with blood feuds, Social Affairs Settled Aside from the feuds and the law making, the Althing was a high occa- sion for the people in their social life. Men brought their wives and Baugh- tars, and many matters beside those of law and order—or disorder—were settled there—betrothals, marriages, feasts, plans for travel. Great fairs were held and the descendants of the 'Vikings shrove in nighty wrestling,. In the farmsteads there was rude comfort and plenty; even some taste of splendor. Not one building, but several, housed the family—the store for living and dining, another- edifice for sleeping, another for the bath, Ia families of wealth the state's hall was large enough to feast hundreds of guests.
