Golden Text—Be .not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the spirit.« Ephesians 5:.18,. ANALYSIS. I. A. CERTAIN IttCH .MAN, 12: 16-21, ii.•WA'r'CFIFUL TESS, 12: 41-46, I1I: TFIE COMING Or "TI -IE SON OV ¥AN," 12: 49,. 48. • 1, A CEatTAIN 140et MAN, 12; 18-21. V: 18, This story ie. not so much a parable as an illtistration, but an i1- lustration of what? There are two anorals which might be drawn from it, and it is not clear which is prim- arily intended. First, the story illus- trates the extreme uneertainty of hu- ntae life; man who "knows not what a c;•ay ,tnay -bring forth" is alevays awaking 'pians for. the future; indeed some men so "live in the future" ae we say, that they 'never enjoy. today. Let us make the most and make the best of life :while we have it, for we do not know how long it will be ours But while this might be the chief meaning• of the story it is nut prob- ably so. Rather, it seems we • are given a picture of an.entirely selfish and unspiritually Minded man. He has put together enough wealth to last his own life -time, and that is all ire cures about.. For the future he intent's to "have a, good time." His -idea of a, good time is a life of eating, drinking and merry -making. His ideal of lite. therefore, is that of ane long kasy-, unadventurous and selfish boli - day. He had found no happiness in his wok -as a .piece of human service; his work was a bore, and his life be- gins where his work ended. It has often been noted, in modern times, that men who snake money very aluickly and then retire to enjoy them- selves, rarely live to a full age. A rife that has no real, unselfish interest to feel -: is apt to flicker. out. Let a man, then, find hietrue life and hap- piness in faithfully and hopefully per- forming each day's task as it comes. . 1.J. "Noor" does not mean here the higher and spiritual part of our na- ture. but rather the "self." • V. 20. The man has had no real love :for anybody in his heart. The wealth that he has so laboriously accumula. . ed. is useless to him, and so far as he is concerned it all goes for nothing. . II. WATCHFULNESS, 12: 41-46. The subject of this parable as of that which precedes it is "watchful-. flees.' as a duty. Peter here asks whether the duty devolves upon every- . body or only upon the disciples. The -answer is that it devolves in a special way upon the disciples, for they are "stewards of the mysteries of God," and .it is their task to- "feed my ,sheep." It seems that the Church >t 1,°a ter y ears understood ; this aarable.. 1 fo'iti ply to"niiiYiatexs and churc'fi' offi- ,rials. As the expectation of the im- mediate second coming of Christ be- gan to lade away, and he seemed to "delay" (v. 45), there was a tendency' for the church leaders both to grow lazy and self-indulgent, and also to "lord :t over" their congregations. 'The ramble is used as a warring theist. "Temperance is not confined to the use c r non-use of ardent spirits. It .4eperete in every sphere of life. The •lav i'l ng upon self of the gifts of •C,eel is intemneranee of the highest ursler. Therefore let us nob be drunk with "clods, wherein is excess, but strive- to be filled with the Spirit."

The Chut ii as a whole today no longer expect.: the speedy second advent of Christ, end this teaching, therefore, presets grave perplexity to many Christian hearts. It is an essential part of the Christian hope that the kingdom of God will aurey come. The day and the hour are known to Gad alone:; but it is far from clear whether the old expectation of a physical re- turn of Jesus to this earth on the clouds of heaven is what Jesus really meant. It is clearly suggested in the Gospel cf John that the coming of the Spirit :•i the second coming of Christ (John 11: 18), and this may be near- er to the mind of Christ.

Windows Very often do we not find that houses express the personalities of the peopl: living within its walls? This question can best be answered by asking another. Did you ever no- tice thedifferent. look a house puts on when another owner or tenant dwells within? Perhaps you have had occasions to go back toyour old home after a long absence. The house is occupied by strangers and as you look over the old familiar rooms somehow they are familiar no longer. It seems so different one might almost think the plan of the house had been ch.. Sonteangedtinmes, even though it were our own loved ho• le, we must admit the change is for the better. The furni- ture may be more suited to the differ- ent rooms, some of which are newly painted and papered. A window may be draped in a manner unthought of byyou and be mach more artistic, so that thinking magnanimously, we are glad the old place has blossomed out. Then again it may be everything has deteriorated. The walls are smoked up, the once carefully kept floors are scratched and dull and the rooms cold and uninviting. So each house reflects unconscious- ly the personalities within. The win lows smile their welcome or look clingy and forbidding and it doesn't Matter if the home is large and com- modious or small and commonplace, those windows with curtains plain or gay and silky, sparkle and shine, tell- ing of the cheery housewifely care within or are dull and uninteresting.

So she just let it sit there because it looked so' pretty, But when she came downs this morning to get breakfast it was on the curtain with its wings. tightly folded together.

But today, when Mamma Lady touched it and said "Good morning" is really answered her and. Said "Good morning" by spreading its delicate wings out an back, out and back, out and back, slowly and gracefully. All at once it fluttered its wings and flew onto a plant in the window, thea be- fore Manana Lady knew what it wars doing it .flew oyer auto her. •shoulder and stayed there while she got break- fast. 1 woaruer if it was asking for some breakfast, It had to ask In a different way because it couldn't -taut. • It eouidn't say "meow," like •the kitty cats, or "peep, peep," like the chicks or ",Bow -wow" like Rover, or "I'd like some breakfast, Mamma, please," like little girls, and boys can. However, Mamnia Lady was sure it was asking for some breakfast. She looked at it very closely, but she could not see that it had a mouth, itt had two big eyes alright, but she wondered how it could eat, what to feed it, for two long days since she found it was a long time, and it didn't have tile .yet low of the egg in its tummy, like the wee chicks had at first, either. Then Mamma Lady thought she of- ten used to see these dear little but- terflies in the summer on lovely flow- ers that have honey away inside -the blossom, but she never noticed how they got the honey out. Do yon think, perhaps, if it liked honey it would like sugar? Well, Mamma Lady got a Pinch of sugar and put a drop of water on it in a saucer on the window, then gently she lifted the butterfly off her shoulder, when it had its wings closed,sed and thele she watched to see what it would do. I know you can never guess how it ate the sugared water. But it did drink it and it drank for a long time too, for it was pretty thirsty This is what it did: Right in between the eyes it had a little curled t t t, whistle, the kind that when you blow in the end the curl flies out straight, only this little curl was so ,very ll lrot""auy"""711g'ger' around "'tlia7i 'a flue thread. Mamma Lady often noticed that ctrl on the butterflies, but she didn't know what it was for. Now as soon as it saw the water and sugar that little curl unfolded long and straight. It felt around for awhile with the point anrt then it dipped it right into the middle of the sugar and water and kept it there for a long time. Do you know what it was do- ing? It was sucking it up just like you do when you have au ice-cream soda and you drink up that good creamy juice through the straw. Af- ter it was through eating it grew pretty lively and started whirring its wings. Do you know what that is like? It means it stands stili but makes its wings go so fast you cau hardly see them. I wonder what it did that for-, Just because it felt. good, I suppose. Next Week—"The Chicks Again." Butterscotch Pie Put 1 cup 01 milk in double boiler to scald.
