There is the little old- fashioned mother who still toils and works night and day 101 her children. And there is the more sophisticated modern mother who sees she has time for the almost daily and much -coveted' game of bridge, There is the care- . less mother and the good mother, the untversai mother. . But it; -„[noes not matter in what sta- tion of`fe she walks, there is no one knows better than she herself what it means to raise a family of 2, 3, 4, and occasionally the "daily tea party.of eleven or twelve children.” The home is a factory and its machinery is made tap of exceedingly delicate and compli- bated mechanism. If the work is well done or ill who knows better than the world that it owes all its progress or limitations to the type of home from which its individuals sprung. How time flies! and there are only twenty-fotu hours in a day. What is left undone Monday must be done Tuesday, and, if -Tuesday goes by with its tasks unfinished, the pile just grows higher, and some day these must be a reckoning. The little child so soft and sweet is nevet•theless the most exacting and tyrannical of all iu his wee commands. Ile sees neither sickness nor is sympathetic for that sometimes extremely tired mother feeling. No one knows better the rigid demands made upon her for the doing - of endless little things which must be done. Yet with every hour filled to over- flowing while the family is growing she finds herself sometimes warned by those with more leisure, or perhaps sees In .some newspaper article that it s most r • ' necessary lot• lie3 to broaden o t y about She i told shelearn out,S is the outside' world and its doings or, when the family le grown, slack and alas, her own good husband will not be able to talk to her when they are old and alone again, for she'll wake up suddenly- to findherself far behind him, This is indeed disturbing, but the day is only twentyfour hours long and the babies' clothes are all dirty again, company is coming to -morrow, and there's not a thing in the house to eat. "What was that you said about Russia yesterday, John, the baby cried and I didn't just get it?" Perhaps itis up to John to see that she does know about Russia and about polities and the newest thing in elec- tricity. John works hard, ,,but 1118 working hours can be counted from eight to five, or from seven to six. He must have time to read his paper and does read it. What better way eau he find to see what he hesretained than to put lath words what he has read to mother after' the baby has stopped crying and•there"is quiet while the dishes are being washed and put away. John might even .wipe the dishes. Oh, yes, there are ways and ways. But as years pass and she sees the gradual consummation of her work in her growing family she- goes ou less dismayed. Well she knows that home laughter, the sunshine of the soul, the happiness of the heart and the cone p elonship of years are ties that bind securely until the time for the great parting arrives. Yes, mother reigns supreme in her Kingdom of the home, and mixed up with her endless doing of little things is the boundless faith she has in ute —her child. Mother asks for few things, but what site wants she wants. She says, "If ray children want to please me, write .to ane regularly. If you can't write a long letter write a short one, and even a few words is much better titan nothing at all, for it shows that Y, t think of rite, :.another thing, do not think that you Deed get me a big present for 1t1 >ther's Day when the struggle of liV• int; is bard. That is not the idea of bother's Day. it makes it a burden which ie the last thing a true mother wante, but the little hind thought of a loving card, of remembrance, or the giving of a carefully raised tower or small gift is itnmeaeerabiy dear to me, my children." TWILIGHT HOUR STORY "About Chicks and Other Little Friends" Chapter 20, Uncle Will and Auut Kate were bringing Bi'iiyhome in their big car after; his two weeks' holiday in the big city and he could hardly wait till he got Home. He kept thinking about, 1Vlamma and Daddy and all his good little animal friends. Of course, all along the way he enjoyed passing the green fields and the woods and he laughed out loud at so' many thingsbe saw on the way. Once he shouted,. "0h, look at that youug colt id tile field over there. Isn't he fine? I wish I had a colt." Sure enough there was a frisky little horse playing with its mother horse, jumping and kicking up his heels and shaking his head just as though he were laughing. Ton know Billy might have a colt some. days for who knows perhaps Betty, the other horse In the barn who works out in the field with George all day long Wright have a little colt' next year, 'Well, after It long nice drive in that big car Billy just couldn't help call- ing out .after he kept looking and look- ing for something straight ahead that he expected to see any minute now, "0h, look 'Uncle Will, there's our barn away oyer there and our house. I know it because it's got a white fence all around it." Uncle Will smiled and just kept on driving and soon they turned in at the lane, Billy jumped out first, for he was so excited aboutgetting home and he Just got out of the door when some- thing knocked him right over so that he fell smack on the ground and then felt a soft, wet tongue licking his cheek and he just couldn't get up, for there was Rover standing over him, ,holding him down for he was so glad to see him. Billy was awfully glad to see Rover, too, and he hugged him back, Well, after a while he did let Billy get up, and oh, when he got up, there was Mamma and Daddy looking just the sante as ever and smiling' with big smiles that were only for Billy, It's wonderful to be loved like that, isn't it, children? There's noth- ing 111(0 a mamma and daddy. After all the noise was over and Billy was telling Mamma about all the fun he had when he was away, he felt something soft and warm rubbing around his feet. Well, well, here was Fluffy come to say "Hello" In her own way, for she was purring as hard as she could. You see when so much noise was going on Fluffy hid behind . a chair until everything was quiet again. ICittens don't like a noise very much, so she thought she'd wait for a while, Cats and dogs •are very dib ferent, aren't they? Billy picked her up and petted her and she put her paw oa his cheek to see if it was really him. Then he said, "But Mamma, how is Topsy and her little kittens?" "You'll be surprised when you see them, dear, they've grown so big." So they went out together to the barn. Here was Molly the cow, wait- ing to be milked. She called Billy when she saw him, "Moo-oo" in a low voice and, after he petted her, they walked on to George and Betty, the two big shiny black horses. They stamped their feet and threw up their heads for Billy to remember them. Horses have such nice silky noses to. pet, Did you ever know that? All at 011Ce here was Topsy and, mind you, she made a big jump and landed right oa tris shoulder, for she was glad to see him, too, but when he went to her box where the kittens were, not orae was to be seen, Do you know where they were? Well, they were afraid of Billy and were all hiding, Scarcely could one find a more simple smart day dress this is so girlisb and practical at the same time.

"0h, they're alright, but you're go- ing to have a surprise when you see them, Billy," said mother, "and that's what we'II tell you about next time." Birds Scarce in Europe Conatauce.—This year's northward migration of birds from Africa to sunny Italy resulted in disaster, as their climatic sense was insufficient to warn them of the unexpected snow- falls and cold waves which swept Cen- tral Europe in Inid-March. After negotiating the Alps and find- ing their familiar resting places in the South German Plains and the Black Forest covered deep with snow, the feathered tribes flew restlessly back and forth for days seeking food and resting places, Finally those not too exhausted conquered the instinct which drove them northward and flew back to sunnier climes, but swarms, weakened by the bard flight, perished of hunger and cold art the plateaus of Wurttemburg, Baden, Bavaria, and the Rhineland. Larks and snipe will be especially rare int Northern Europe this year as a result of the late snow- fall, Pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.—John Ruskin. Sund4 School Lesson May 10.

FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP. III. GROWTH THROUGH 11011, L Two PARABLES OR OND? It has often teen noted that there is:a very close' connection between this parable of the "Pounds." in Luke and the parable of the "Talents" in Matt. 1 25: 14-30, . The •esemblafices-are as remarkable' as be differences. This does not, Of itself, create serious diffi- culty for us,'or ,ve might have,simp ly two versions oe the same parable (the parables must have been told and retold many times before they were written down), or there is no reason -thy Jesus himself should not have used two very similar parables or the same parable with variations, A. much greater difficulty in the parable of the `'Pounds" lies in ,his, that ap- pr -. ntly we have two stories ]nixed together. One s a story of. a noble - Man who goes far away to be made king, as, for instance, nobles of Pales- tine not infrequently went to Rome to receiye their title from the imperial city. It. this story the nobleman's fellow -citizens do not want him to he made king, and send' a deputation to protest. He, on his return, has to deal with the malcontents. In the second. story a inan ,goes :away and leaves some of his capital with his .servants that .:hey may trade with, and on his return he deals with thele according to their. faithfulness "o their trust. The two, stories have really very little connection, and ,he careful reader will notice that vs, 13, 14 do not go to. gether. One is about '"servants," the other about ;`citizens." It is not pos- sible to solve this difficulty with cer- tainty. We may either suppose that two separate parables of Jesus have here been rather elumsi]y combined into one, 01 we may suppose that the originai parable of Jesus,, as in the case of the parable of the talents, -was concerned with faithful stewardship, II. FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP.. In v. 13, there are ten servants, brit we learny three, the fate. of onI r e , aS 115 the parable of the talents. This is not a matter of importance. It is import- ant, hor.ever, that• in this parable each servant, receives the •same sum. It is presumably the servants' capa- city that the nnaster wishes to test. The suns entrusted is a remarkably small' one; the mina os- pound was only worth some twenty dollars. V, 16. We should remember that this i a parable or story taken from ordi- nary everyday life. One cannot argue from the story that Jesus approved of what we today call "Capitalism," or that Christians are justified in speculating in the stock market. We should have expected v. 17 to say, "because you have been faithful in little, you shall be entrusted with much." It seems strange that a man should be rewarded with ten cities for his faithfulness in respect of twenty dollars. Perhaps the reference to cities is connected with the other story of the nobleman (not the master) who goes away to get a kingdom. V, 21. The servant tells his master that he is well known 'or hissharp practices. To "take up what you did not lay down" was a proverbial ex- pression for fraudulently appropriat- ing the fruits of another man's labor. This verse, then, makes it very clear that the parable is not an allegory, and that neither God nor Christ cor- respond with the master. The story illustrates the duty of faithful stew- ardship, not the character of God, nor his attitude to his children. III.. GROWTH THROUGH. USla. V. 24. Perhaps the speakers here are the crowd who. are listening to Jesus. They have been following the story with conviction, for they have known hard-headed, austere business Wien of this type, and the story rings true to them till Jesus says, "Tal' e away his pound and give it to the man who has ten." At that point, Jesus' audience protests, "But 'surely that is absurd. Why the man has ten pounds already!" Jesus replies in effect, "No, I meant what I said, for there is a principle that to hila that hath shall be given; and from hint that hath not, ' shall be taken even that which he hath." I This principle in v. 26 is quoted also in Luke 8: 18 and' may often have been on the lips of Jesus. in the parable, the principle applies to money, but that was not the sense itt , which Jesus meant :t.

For instance, the voice of conscience is a talent. We may develop it or we may deaden it, In Luke 8: 18, the application seems to be—we have a faculty of attention to the teaching of Jesus, If we exercise that faculty, we grow in grace; if we do not, the lose the faculty.

Vast Stone Tapestry Ready For Exposition in Paris Themost gigantic sculptural under- taking in history, the stone tapestry of the Permanent Colonial Museum at the International Colonial and Over- seas Exposition in Paris, is now being completed for the opening. This vast work, covering the walls of the great museuut to a height of forty-two feet and a length, of 825 feet, has occupied the time of twenty artists under A, Janniot, noted French sculptor, for the last two years. Its theme is the "running story" of France's growthasan empire.
