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.

Of course, 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- thing knocked him right over so tbat 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 with big smiles that: were only for Billy. It's wonderful to be loved like that,. isn't it, children?

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.

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 this and every other country except Russia,—Special from The Christian Science Monitor Bureau. 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. V.16..We should remember that this L a parable or story taken from. ordi- • everyday life.

" "''S eculating in speculating 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 goes away to get V. 21.

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. "Isn't spring glorious?
