SUNDAY AFTERNOON
(By Isabel Hamilton, Goderich, Ont.)
Behold a stranger at the door!
He gently knocks, has knocked before,
Has waited long, is waiting still;
You treat no other friend so ill.
Admit Him for the human breast
Ne'er entertained so kind a guest;
No mortal tongue their joys can tell
With whom He condescends to dwell.
Sovereign of soul, Thou Prince of
Peace,
o may Thy gentle reign increase;
Threwo wide the door, each willing mind
And be His empire all mankind.
(Joseph Grigg).
PRAYER
Almighty God, whose all -seeing
eye rests upon and watches over the
children of men, let Thy spirit, we
beseech Thee, attend our prayers.
Guide us unto Thyself and .help us to
help Thee saying, "This is the way,
walk ye in it," and we shall give thee
all the glory, through Jesus Christ,
Our Lord who is the way, the truth
and the life. Anten.

the "wonder -worker," and this gave a
special interest to the on -lookers.
They thronged the way on either side.
Sitting in his office, the receipt of
custom, was one who no doubt had
heard of this man and of his having
eaten with Publicans and having call-
ed one of them to be a follower. At
his desk we can picture 'him growing
restless and at length, throwing aside
his work, he rises, locking the door
and passing out into the crowd. But
he was little of stature, and could
easily have been jostled aside by the
crowd. Knowing the road over which
Jesus was to pass, he edged his way
in and out until he reached his goal.
In doing so he violated the Eastern
a of decorum -the influential, the
rich Zaechaeur running and climbing
in order that he might secure a place
of vantage in the crowd! By so
doing he made himself a target for
the jeering 'crowd, but for all time an
outstanding figure in history. He
sought to see Jesus, the wonder -
worker and he saw Jesus, the Saviour.
Verses 5 -7. -The Invitation.
The Publican's one thought was to
see but a far more wonderful thing
came to him. He was singled out of
all that muDtitude. Jesus looked.

1 saw and said. No doubt the crowd
did the same but with nothing in their
thought but contempt for the out-
cast. Jesus spoke his name, which,
would startle Zacchaeus almost into
exclaiming, "He knows my name!"
What would he do? Would he drop
down and be lost in the crowd? No!
he made haste in coming down but it
was in order to take the one who
wished to stop at his house out of the
crowd to his own home. It was al-
most too wonderful to be true that
this stranger whose wonderful doings
had gone far and wide, should invite
himself to be a guest with him a pub-
lican. It was all in defiance of popu-
lar custom. No self-respecting Jew
had ever crossed his thresold, yet
now the great rabbi wanted to abide
with hire. The feeling of odium that
had previous to this rested upon Zac-
chaeus was now turned against Jesus.
and the crowd murmured, "That he
was gone to be guest with a man that
is a sinner."
Verses $-10�--Zacehaeus' Profession
and Reward.
Before entering his house Zacchae-
us paused and lifting his hand, as it
were, to emphasize what he is about
to say he acknowledged a new rela-
tionship. Jesus is now his Lord.
Hitherto he had made himself an out -
east by accepting offleer• under an
alien government and had used his
position to increase his worldly
wealth by false dealing. It was true
what the crowd had said, He was a
sinner but he is now a repentant sin-
ner. "The • half of my goods I, give
to the poor, and if 1 have taken any-
thing front any men by false accuse.
tion, 1 restore him four -fold."
Zacehaeushen gave proof of an
•awakened conscience and a change of
heart on coming into perto el touch

His conversion would be a blessing
not only to himself but to his family,
for like Abraham he would teach his
household to keep the way of the
Lord. Previous to this he was a
troubler to his family for "h , at is
greedy of gain troubleth ,u. own
house" (Prov. 15:27).
In the personal interview 'Between
Jesus and Zacchaeus, he teaches that
conversion is not something to be ex-
perienced some far -oft day. It is a
present blessing -"This day is salva-
tion come to this house." We also
learn that the Saviour notices every
seeking sinner. It was not for the
multitude but for the individual soul
that Jesus died. "God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten
Son that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish but have everlast-
ing life" (John 3:16).
WORLD MISSIONS

(By Maltbie Bancock, D.D.)
No loving word was ever spoken;
no good deed ever done "to -morrow:"
We can not act in the unborn future
nor in the dead past; only in the liv-
ing present.
That is why "every day is dooms-
day," for to -day holds life and death,
character and destiny, in its hands.
Opportunity says with Jesus, "Me ye
have not
always."

SMALL ELECTION TRICKS PLAY-
ED ON BIG MEN; LAURIER
ONCE "SWORN IN HIS
OWN HOME TOWN
The swearing of prominent men at
polling booths is not so infrequent as
common sense would suppose. Many
times personal spite provokes this
challenge to a leading citizen on elec-
tion day; more often it is the result
of political malice, not betause it is
at all likely to prevent the challenged
person from voting but because it is..
designed to give a personal affront
or for its effect upon the local elec-
torate,
Perhaps one of the most notable
Sxamples of this latter sort was when
ir Wilfrid .Laurier was made to take
the oath in the famous by-election in
,Drunviiond-Arthabaska in 1910. That,
was the first contest fought by Henri
Bourass"a and Armand Lavergne on
the Naval Bill issue. They were aid-
ed by straight Conservatives such as
Albert Sevigny (late speaker of the
House of Commons) and by Pierre E.
Blondin (later a minister in one of
the
Borden ncatom'
cabinets.) Pu

on the narrow wooden sidewalk until
they came to the office of the local
notary, which was one of the town's
polling booths. In the party went.
The returning officer wished Sir Wil-
frid good -day and shook hands with
hina.. The polling clerks and • the
scrutineers rose in respect to the dis-
tinguished citizen of the county, all
but a young law student frons Que-
bec who was acting as the Nation-
alist scrutineer. He retained his seat.
When the R. 0. tendered the ballot
to Sir Wilfrid, the Bourassaite de-
manded the name of the would-be
voter (although he knew as well as
he did his own.) When he was told
that it was "Wilfrid Laurier" he de-
clared: "Wilfrid Laurier lives in Ot-
tawa., This man will have to swear
as to his identity!"
The returning officer was astound-
ed. To think that any person would
dare to doubt the identity of Laurier
was beyond him. He expostulated in
voluable French, but the youngster
from Laval (who in his heart of hearts
was probably as proud of Laurier
as any of the others present) had his
orders, and, like a true politician, he
obeyed them.
"This man must besworn," he in-
sisted. And there was nothing else
to do but to tender the Testament to
the premier, who kissed it with rever-
ence, swore that he was Wilfrid Laur-
ier, and then took his ballot paper
behind the curtain, from which he
emerged wit% his customary smile.
After the ballot had been placed in
the box, the "Old Man" turned to the
youngster from Quebec and said:
"Will you know Wilfrid Laurier
the next time you meet him? Give
my regards to your good father when
you return home and tell him that I
am sorry to see that the son of so
good a friend and constituent of mine
asis in such bad political
company."
Then he shook hands all round with
the election officials and retraced his
steps to his home. On the way he
said to the newspapermen: "Yoix
know the old proverb about nurturing
a viper in your bosom? Will you be
surprised to know that that lad's fa-
ther is one of my oldest friends and
that I was present at the young man's
baptism? Such is the reward which
politics sometimes brings. But he
will be sorry later on. I don't blame
him so much as the men who used
such a splendid young Quebecker to
do their dirty work. They, too, will
be sorry in years to come. However,
it does not matter. Perhaps it was
just as well that I should have been
so compelled to swear my faith in
the political programme which I have
submitted to the people of Canada."
DAVID HARUM ACTS COST
COLONEL CHINI' TWO
CHAMPS OF TURF
Had Colonel Phil Chinn, the David
Harum of Kent°ucky, quit swappin'
horses a couple of years ago he to-
day would own the champion three-
year-old and the champion two-year-
old of America.
This fanevus Kentucky breeder,
who hails, from the very heart of the
Blue Grass country, sold the little
chestnut gelding, Sarazen, as a two-
yeair-old to Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt II.
.At about the time that he was selling
the horse 'that later beat the French
champion Epinard he wasin the
sales paddock atSaratoga peddling aB
yearling colt he had picked up for a
few hundred dollars in England.
This colt was later named Master
Charlie and how he went on to wird
nearly $100,000 this year as he an-
nexed the two-year-old title is a rec-
ord of recent turf history.
Colonel Chinn got $36,000 from
Mrs. Vanderbilt, for Sarazen. He got
c1,000 from ago, for Mater Charlie and thougam Daniels of ht
he was lucky to get that amount.
The two hoses since Colonel Chinn
disposed of them have won en • purse
money alone close to a quarter of a
million dollars. They should go on
to win twice that amount or even
more before their racing careers are'
terminated.
Down in Kentucky the smartest
and biggest breeders and owners of
tboroughbreds will tell you that CoI-
onel Phil Chinn is the shrewdest
judge of horse flesh in America. Andl
how his judgment went band on this
particular pair of champions evens
the old-time hoes' folks are unable to
explain.
Colonel Chinn always held Sarazen
in high regard, his Kentucky neigh-
bors say. But at the same time he
thought the speedy gelding was a bit
small ever to become a champion.
When Colonel Chinn landed in Sara-
toga with him in August of 1923 and
learned that Mrs, Vanderbit had
taken a fancy to the horse it didn't
take long to close the deal, for if
there is anything the colonel likes
it's a horse trade and he likes to
trade 'em quick.
At the time Sarazen was sold, $35,-
000 was a good price for any horse.
He had won the four or five races
in which he had started, but had not
shown the promise of two or three
others of his age division. Even his
neighbors down in Kentucky •--the
same ones tat now poke fun at inns
for getting.rid of Sarazen were.gjv-
ing him credit for pulling another
smart horse deal.

there were a few real good ones ird
the lot he might keep them for him-
self.
Soon after he had paid around $500
for Master Charlie he thought he had
discovered the colt's chief fault. He
put him down for a cribber and rele-
gated him to the group that was to.
go under the sales hammer first. Mr.
Daniels, of Chicago, happened along,.
didn't let the cribber reports startle
him, and soon after he bid $1,000
and found himself the owner of the
English yearling.
Most people who deal in thor
oughbred horse flesh consider it ex-
tremely lucky if they come into pos-
session of one champion in a lifetime.
But Mr. Chinn, the shrewdest of all
judges of horses, passed up his:
chances to own two of them at one
and the same time.
