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 i$ 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 o1 this continual call for outside affairs and we look longingly at the quiet room with its comfortable chairs 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 be, and it may take a good struggle to keep certain specified times for home, but it is worth it.

City of the Light By FELIX ADLER Have you heard the golden city Mentioned in the legends old? Everlasting light shines o'er it, Wondrous tales of it are told, Only righteous men and women Dwell within its gleaming wall; Wrong is banished from its borders, Justice reins supreme o'er all. We. are builders of that city; All our joys and all our groans Help to rear its shining ramparts, All our lives are building -stones. But a few brief years we labor, Soon, our earthly day is o'er, Other builders take our places, And our place knows us no more. But the work which We have builded, Oft with bleeding hands and tears, And in error and in anguish, Will not perish with the years It will last, and shine transfigured In the final reign of Right; It will merge into the splendors Of the City of the Light.

Food Tests on Infant To Wiser Co Mice Point ntrol of Human Diet Cold Spring Harbor, N,Y.—New in- formation on right and wrong times for eating certain foods is forecast In experiments on diets of mice by Dr. E. C. MacDowell and C. G. MacDowell at the Carnegie Institution here. Dr. MacDowell found that •most baby mice do not increase in weight during their first two weeks as rapid- ly as In the period preceding birth. Ile thought this discrepancy strange and discovered that it was duo to the fact that the. average mouse .has too many brothers and sisters. By giving the young mice more mother's milk he induced them to grow nearly as rapidly after birth as before and .double their weight at fourteen days. But the added milk was effective only for two weeks. After that the rate of increase on milk fell away un• til it was revived by . changing to solid food. Some slice he says, have "especial- ly good mothers," which .,continue to nurse their young and delay the shift to solid food. Even for these baby mice the milk loses its effectiveness after the second week and the extra maternal care only shows growth un- til after weaning. "There can be no question," Dr. Mac - Dowell says, "but that a new phase ot life is inaugurated at the end of the second week by the eating of the first solid food. Further 'experiments will be required before attempting to say what is the primary factor that leads to this break; what initiates this nat- i erocess of weaning."

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 November 9. Lesson VI Thomas, Jesus to this question Professor Man- son writes, "Jesus answers that the way. is himself. Thomas h.et surely have been conscious, while h... walked with Christ, of being led in a certain direction, nor 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 is the Goal of Life, in whom our rest is won, and Christ is the true and liv- ing Way to his presence." Following in his footsteps, endeavoring to live as he lived, obedient to his teaching, we find the way. Instructed'av him, by his deeds as well as by his words we learn the truth. In him, thre,ugh faith, we see the power of an endless life, and from him we receive not only ex- ample and teaching, 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 .r,ust in hila, there does come the higher'and more 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 essence 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!" (The Honest Doubter)—John 11: 14-16; 14: 5-8; 20: 24-29; 21: 1, 2.

INTRODUCTION—There are several 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 new vi- sion of God in creation and providence, making the world and governing it in his infinite power, wisdom r.nd good- ness, and by this vision his faith is restored and his distress of hind re - lie =ed. Similar doubts and question- ing appear in the experiences ori frank- ly revealed in Psalms 73, 77,_89, and in Jeremiah 12: 1-2; 15: 15-18; 20: 7-1e. 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 understancang 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 anew, "Who touch'd a jareing lyre at first, But ev = strove to make it true; Perplext in faith, 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 Christian church which continues to this day. 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. o to his death To Jesufeared s, however, wthat he would e 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 w'th 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 i;; 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 hila found difficult to understand.
