earthly life. There is the little old-
fashioned mother who still toils and
Works night and day for her children.
And there is the more sophisticated
Modern mother who sees she has time

But It does not matter in what sta-

Sheens to raise a family of 2, 3, 4, and

Chapter 20.
Uncle Will and Aunt Kate were
bringing Billy home 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
;occasionally the "daily tea party of Mamma and Daddy and all his good
'eleven or twelve children.' The home
is a factory and its machinery is made
Up of exceedingly delicate and compli-
'pated mechanism. If the work is well

fir; iiritations to the' type of home

Iiotiv time flies! and there are only
wlenity-four hours in a day. What is
eft 'undone Monday must be done
Tuesday, and, if Tuesday goes by with
its tasks unfinished, the pile just
'grows higher, and some day there
;must be a reckoning. The little child
#3o soft and sweet is nevertheless the
post exacting and tyrannical of all in
leis wee commands. He 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

done.

along the way he enjoyed passing the
green fields and the woods and he
laughed out loud at so many things he
saw on the way. Once he shouted,
"Oh, look at that young colt in the
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. You
know Billy might have a colt some
day, for who knows perhaps Betty, the
other horse in the barn who works out
in the field with George all day long
might have a little colt next year.
Well, after a 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,
"Oh, look Uncle 'Will, there's our
barn away over 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 about getting home and
he just got out of the door when some-

I, TWO PARABLES OR ONE?
It has often leen noted that there
is a very elose connection between this
Parable of,the "Pounds" in Luke and
the parable -of the "Talents" in Matt,
25; 14-30. The esemblances are as
remarkable as the differences. This
does not, of itself, create serious diffi-
culty for usefor we might have simp-
ly two verseons of the same parable
(the parab :ea' must have been told and
retold nsant. times before they were
written down), or there is no reason
vhy Jesas'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 dhis, that ap-
ps •^,;ntly we have two stories mixed
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
receive their title from the imperial
city. Is. this story the nobleman's
fellow -citizens do not want him to be
made 'ring, and send a deputation to
protest. Ile, on his return, has to deal
with the malcontents. In the second
story a man goes away and leaves
some of his capital with his servants
that they may trade with, and on his
return he deals with them 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 clumsily combinod
into one, or we may suppose that +he
original parable of Jesus, as in the
case of the »arable of the talents, was
concerned with faithful stewardship.

HOW TO ORDER PATTERNS.
London—"I look forward with In-
terest to the day when a national daily
will be edited by a woman, and, I hope,
have no political leaders et all," Lord
Luke declared at a reception given in
his home in Portman Square recently,
to nark the appointment of Miss Anne
Hepple as the new editor of the
Woman's Magazine, published by the
Religious Tract Society.
"A generation ago," he continued,
"the arrival of the woman journalist
was making something of a sensation
in. Fleet Street, though—perhaps ow-
ing to an oversight—the fact was not
recorded as such. on the evening
posters. The male journalist regarded
her with a good deal of suspicion. -
"But she came, and her influence
has been profound. She has brought
into the magazine pages of our news-
papers and the lively columns of our
magazines an attention to detail and
make up and technique which was
badly needed.
"During the last 35 years, I have
come in contact with the question of
advertising from many points of view
and I have of recent years been struck
by th,e growth of feminine interest in
newspapers and magazines.
Miss Hepple said that until recently
she lied shared in the popular miscon-
ception that the Religious Tract So-
ciety's only function was the publica-
tion of its world-famous tracts. Actu-
ally, she added, it is publishing some
of the finest books in English. and
200 other languages,
Miss Hepple deplored the appeal
made by some ofthe cheap literature
and films offered to the young people
to -day. She considered that one way
of combating this was to divert the
public mind to more agreeable topics.
This is the self-imposed duty of the
Religious Tract Society, she said,
which is carrying out its purpose 1n

money, but the application of it is to
the use of the talents given us by God.
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, we
lose the faculty. "Take heed, there-
fc:e, clow ye listen."
II. FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP.
In v. 13, there are ten servants, but
we learn the fate of only three, as in
the parable of the talents. This is not
a matter of importance. It is import-
ant, hov,ever, that in this parable
each servant receives the same sum.
I•i is presumably the servants' capa-
city that the master wishes to test.
The suers entrusted is a remarkably
small one; the mina, or pound was only
worth some twenty dollars.

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(nota no l thhee mater) `who

Vast Stone Tapestry Ready

The most gigantic sculptural under-

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 museum to a height of
forty-two feet and a length of 325
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 growth as an empire. In
technical conception the work closely
parallels the authentic Flemish and
French cloth tapesteries of the four-
teenth and fifteenth centuries.
