A thing which happened in our
nei'gh'borhood a few years ago is im-
pressive enough to prove how careful
we should be about our ways of get-
ting up and dawn in the barn. It was
a busy trine of the year. The farmer
was delayed about doing his chores.

to help things along. She climbed over
into the silo and put out the ensilage

Many cows are injured by spas-

The most serious cases of egocen-
tricity eimount to insanity and are
placed under treatment by doctors
who specialize tin nervous and mental
disorders. This work has grown
enormously—probably even as much
as surgery—as a result of the revela-
tions whit:h the war has brought
forth.
However, you and I are not concern-
ed just now with these extreme cases
or with the difficulties they create in
the army. Their only relation to us Is
that of drawing our attention to very
mild forms of the same mental state
,in perfectly sane people. To use a
homely phrase, these mildly 'egocen-
tric people have never accustomed
themselves to "getting into the other
fellow's shoes." The self-centred other
sees only his own point of
view and forgets that every individual
in the -world has different needs and
different opinions and possesses equal

One rainy holiday I had an exper-
ience that made mo -conclude that I
was an egocentric mother. I was dos

living in a small apartment with my

wanted to eato'h up with those homely,
personal duties which rematin undone

be done mai certainly I was not find-
ing quiet or rest. I became irritated
and felt that the children were naughty
and deserved reproof.
Then suddenly a voice within me
seemed to ask this question: "Are not
your children individuals just as much
as you are an individual? Does not
this holiday belong as much to them
as to you? You work in an office
but they work just as hard in a school.
Why have they not the sante right to
pian the day foe themselves as you
have to plan it for yourself?"'
"But what I have to do is useful," I
said to the inner questioner; "it is
work."
"You do not believe, then," contin-
ued the inner voice, "that children's
play is important? You say so when
you write for this column, ,but do you
really believe it?"
'tIt will' make them selfish," I
argued, " if I give up my way for
their way always." `
There seemed to be laughter in the
inner voice as it answered me: "Will
it not make them selfish if they find
out that you are selfish?"
The accusing voice won the argu-
ment! I changed my program for
the day, resolved not to be egocentric.
I read to the children and played with
them and they in turn helped me.
True, I did not get as much done as I
had planned, but the world since has
gone on just the same as if all those
tasks had been accomplished! If, on
the contrary, my children had been
suppressed and rebuked in their very
natural -desires, therewouldhave
been rebellion in their liearts towards
me and quarrels among themselves as
a result of nothing interesting to do.
tocelebrate a great holiday, These
would have injured thein just a little
and, besides, there would have been
lost a dayful of opportunities_ to
gather them closer into my confidence,
a dayful of comradeship would have
been lost.
It is astonishing how children re
member their happy climes. Perhaps
years mater one of mine will remind
ane of some story we read then or
some foolish joke that made us all
laugh. Perhaps such a memory will
set up a wholesome train of thought
some day when evil trains of thought
are threatening. To me, happy mein -
odes stored up in childhood seem the
safest bulwark against the dangers of
the adolescent period. They "over-.
•come' evil with' good," as the Bible
tells us is the way to do. I am sure
that the safest waif' of conquetung sin
is to create a love of righteousness
and this is accomplished best by filling
the young mind full of good things
,which it enjoys. Almost "it follows
as the night the day he will not then
be false" to the memories which are
in his heart.
Besides, my children had a right to
that holiday,. They are individuals
just as much as I am an individual.

sale in nearby towns and cams. Un-
doubtedly, the man who permits such
a desecration is thinking only of the
advantage of having his buildings
covered with paint at no cost to him -
deli', and of the $10• bill which is slip-
ped to him as an additional considera-
tion for the privilege of committing
such an outrage upon an Innocent and
unsuspecting countryside.
But, aside from the esthetic stand-
point, this sort of paint is poor econ-
omy at best. Those who have been
victimized in this way --and such it
usually amounts to in the long run—
assert that with the exception of that
portion of the building ,bearing the
advertisement the paint used is of the
thinnest and poorest quality, 'scarcely
good enough, as a Yule, to weather
more than a Beason or two. Phe sign,
however, is put on to stay, and is of
the "display" variety, which makes it
almost impossible to blot it out with-
out the use of several coats of paint.
Thus, in the long run, there is no real
saving.
A public- spirited farm woman once
said: "The inside of my home belongs
tometo do with as I wiskk, but my
yard and home surroundings belong
in a measure to the great public whose
way takes it past my door." Which
applies quite appropriately to the
plastering of farm buildings with ad-
vertisements. Many cities have pas-
sed laws forbidding obnoxious eign-
boards in certain residence districts.
When will lovers of the countryside
champion a bill to forbid turning our
barns into billboards?
Which Way Are Your Roads Closed?
The closing of a public leighway
when repairs are being made carries
with it a carbain responsibility toward
those who use the roads. As a rule,
these responsibilities seem not to
weigh very heavily upon those who
should discharge them. The public
growls, but gets along as best it can,
largely bemuse it takes time to hunt
out and register complaint with the
proper authorities.
Por one thing, a road should be
really closed, not partially so, if it is
intended that no traffic whatever pass
a certain point. There are always
those who are ready to take a 'chance,
and who will press on passed a sign
"Road dosed," in hope of being able
to pick their way around the obstruc-
tion. This results do interference and
annoyance to the road gang, some-
times in aceider-tasand upsets to those
who venture upon the torn -up high-
way. When a road is closed, co',trtesy
-'delnands that it be closedeat the near-
est erooerced, and not half a mite
farther on, where perhaps the actual
work of repair may be in progress.
Almost everyone can recall the annoy-
ance and delay occasioned by being
obliged to retrace one's course due to
the neglect of the road boss properly

There was much marshy land in that

many another home besides' that of

was then lawful for them to carry ,si

healed many." Such was the scene at
the close of -this busy day. The people
lingered until darkness drove them to
their homes.

these poor sufferers, and restored
many of them to sanity and health
both of body and mind. Our mission-
aries in the East follow the example
of Jesus, and they find through atten-
tion to the sick and theon h the
agency of hospitals and dial en:aries
an open door to the hearts of the peo-
ple. Their ministry, like His, is in
preaching, teaching, and healing,
"In the morning." Although the
Sabbath had been a busy day, and its
activities prolonged until after sun-
set, yet Jesus was awake in the early
morning, and seeking a quiet place of
retirement foe Hie morning prayer to
God. Here, as always, He is an ex-
ample to His disciples, showing the
best way of beginning the day's work.
Compare Psalm 5: 3, and Iso. 50: 4.
The true humanity of Jeans and His
likeness to as are nowhere more im-
pressively
0-pressively shown than in His need and
His habit of prayer. See Heb, 6: 7.
But the crowo. which attended Him
clueing the day were alread;. seeking
Him in the early morning. "All men
seek for Thee," said Simon and the
other disciples when they :Mend Him.
The answer of Jesus is characteristic.
Instead of resting upon and seeking
to confirm and enjoy His populaiiity
in Capernaum, His heart goes out to
the es eat untouched multitudes . who
have not yet heard His gospel. "Let
us go into the next towns," He said,
"that I may preach there also: for
therefore came I forth." And •so,
turning His back upon the multitudes
of. Capernaum, Ile went forth 'with
His disciples to go "throughout all
Galilee."
The missionary spirit of Jesus took
hold upon His disciples. He told them
to go into all the world, and they
sought literally to carry out His com-
mand. As fsr as was humanly pos-
sible, they travelled through the lands)
of the Roman Empire, and far to the
East, ever seeking to bring the gospel
to the next towns and into the regions
beyond.

Have you ever noticed when you
drive into town with a load of apples
to peddle about, or dispose of bo the
groceries, what a hungry look that
mein standing upon the street nearby
gives you as you pull up to the curb,
and especially if you have extra fine
fruits displayed in nice crates'? We
did, and we took a valuable lesson
from that hungry look. The whole
world is hungry for good apples to
eat, and all the time. We used to feel
sorry when we shied glances at him
with the hungry look, but our apples
were all weighed up in treasures ready
to deliver, and the must not start in
handling out, or we would run abort.
We caught a trick one day when peck-
ing, in our orchard for the market.
Quite a few specimens were always
found with little defects, overripe or
bruised just a little. 'Mese apples were
more than we could use up at home,
and often went to waste. Next day
when we took our load of apples to
town, a half bushel basket of these
specimens, mellowed for ready eating,
went under the •seat, and everywhere
we met that hungry lookwith a ripe.
