PRAYER 0, Thou who art the way unto the Father and who didst leave us an ex- ample of how to hold fellowship with Him, teach us how to pray. Amen. S. S. LESSON FOR APRIL 26th, 1931 Lesson Topic—How to Pray. Lesson Passage—Luke 18:1-14. Golden Text—Luke 11:1. In the parable of the importunate widow we see her pouring out her heart to an unjust judge. Jesus uses this in his teaching about prayer, Now we all have hearts. Whatever else we have or have not, we all have hearts; and all our hearts are of the same secret, solitary, undiscovered, unsatisfied kind. And then, along with our hearts, we all have God. Wherever in all the world there is a human heart, God also is there. And He is there in order to have that heart pourled out before Him. And out of that, out of the aloneness of the hu- man heart, and out of the nearness of God to every human heart, there immediately arises this supreme duty to every man who has a heart—that he •shall at all times pour his heart out before God. It is not the duty and privilege of psalmists and great saints only. It is every man's duty, and every man's privilege." (Alex- ander Whyte, D.D.). The widow in her distress went to one whom she believed could help her. In Hebrews 11:6 we read: "He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." The first step, in learning how to pray is to think of God. "First of all, my child,' said Paternus to his son, "think mag- nificently of God. Magnify His Provi- dence; adore His power; frequent His service, and pray to Him frequently and instantly. Bear Him always in your mind; teach your thoughts to reverence Him in every place, for there is no place where He is not Therefore, my child, fear and wor- ship, and love God; first and last, think magnificently of God." The widow by her persistent at- tendance on the unjust judge was re- warded and Jesus applies the lesson and says, "that men ought always to pray and not to faint" for "God wil avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him." In verses 9-14 we read a second parable setting forth prayer. We hear first a prayer from a Pharisee and then one from a Publican. Dr. Joseph Parker preaching in the City Temple on this subject says:— "There are five points in which the Pharisee and the Publican agree there are five points in which they differ, and there are five special les- sons which the incident urges upon the attention of all men in all ages, They had the same object—prayer They were both in the Temple at the same time; they, both spoke in the Temple; they addressed the same God and each talked about himself. Look next at the five points of dissimilar- ity. The one was self-satisfied, the other self -discontented. The Phari- see was socially contemptuous, the Publican was self -condemned; the one lived in duty; the other hoped in mercy. The Pharisee saw separate points of excellence, whereas the Publican was stunned by the condi- tion of his whole character. The one was flippant, the other was reverent. Where there is no reverence, there can be no worship. The lessons are that self-righteous- ness is unrighteousness; that self - trust is practical atheism; that social contempt is not personal piety; that self -boasting goes before destruction; that man's only standing -ground be- fore God is the ground of God's sov- ereign mercy." l 1 ler s Disorders in Your Children!

The Norweigian missionary Bread- vcdt in Zululand once asked his native teacher, "What is faith and what is unbelief?" He received the follow- ing excellent answer: "To have fan means to take hold of Christ and His Word, to lack faith means to let go Christ and His Word." To this the Christian Zulu added the following explanation: "In Zululand strong men are stationed at the rivers to carry the people over when the wa- teys are high. Before these men go through the river, they tell those whom they carry to take a firm hold. Those who have confidence in the carrier and obey him, safely reach the other sicle; but they who lose con- fidence and let go their hold, perish in the water. That is faith and un- belief. Whosoever believes in Christ clings to Him -under all circumstanc- es, relies upon His guidance and obeys Him. Thus he gets safely through this life and reaches the beautiful land on the other side, of the river of death. Whosoever lacks faith, per- ishes in his wanderings, because he has no guide." the heel behind. As a result of this rigging ever opposed joints, the bend- ing of the leg serves to put the muscle and tendon on the stretch, and the weight of the bird in settling down to sleep causes them. to pull the toe tendons and draw the toes together. Thus the bird is clamped automatic- ally to the perch. It is .because of this stringing of the long tendon that a hen always brings her toes together every time. she raises a foot in walking. She cannot help it; and neither can any bird that is ,similarly equipped with Nature's patent Roosting Clamp. The beees sting, once started, has the power and mechanism to drive it- self even thasugh the touch hide of a horse. It is detachable and is cap- able of going on working, by a sort of pumping motion, and driving it- self in after the bee has flown away. The sting consists ef two highly - polished javelins or spears, each hav- ing a row of barbs along one side like the barb on a fishhook; and the two shafts fit and slide against one another inside a supporting sheath or scabbard, so that they can be al- ternately thrust forward by the self- acting muscle. Tee bee needs to in- sert only the first barb or two of the nlance, whereupon the self-acting muscle sets spasmodically to work and drives the two halves of the sting alternately in, the earbs on one speas holding it fast and giving it new pur- chase while the other is driven deep- er. A bee does not always lose her sting; but if it does pull out, and she flies away, it makes no difference to the sting. At the top of the appar- atus is the poison bag which always comes off with the sting and keeps emptying its contents into the wound through a groove between the two sliding spears. Here is a mechanism as ingenious as the self-starter or anything to be found on ari4eutomobile. There is nothing really new about poisen gas—at least not to any one familiar with the insect world. The little Bombardier beetle, when danger threatens, fires off an explosive charge of an acrid and irritating gas. When a number of these beetles fly into action at once, their little explesive shots make them seem like a minia- ture regiment in battle. Moreover, each little beetle, in repeating -rifle fashion, is capable of producing erom 10 to 12 shots in succession. Nor is the submarine anything new in Nature's machine exhibit. The whale,.a land animal which has been made over to fit conditions at sea, has storage places, called retia mir- abilia, for carrying extra supplies of oxygen. These are extensive tracts of arteries and capillaries carrying a supply of oxygenated blood that is not needed when the whale is on the surface and breathing, but which is drawn upon during periods of sub- mersing. The cry "Thar she blower means that the whale is blowing off the carbon dioxide preparatory to fill- ing its tanks and goieg down again. ' That the egg is a piece of machin- ery, a real moving mechanism, is too little known. Anyone who has eaten a soft-boiled egg for breakfast must have noticed that there is a part of the white which is of a firmer and more ropelike consistency than the rest. This is the chalaza, a thick cord of twieted, tough Albumen et -retching from the yolk on opposite sides to the two ends of the egg. The albumen cords hold the yolk in place. When an egg is rolled back and forth the yolk does not revolve, but re- mains with one side always upper- most Tee means by which it does this is the eveight on one side, due to the fatty globules on that side being heaveter and denser than in the reet of the yolk. Floating in the white it is like a ship in ballaste with a MOTORS VALUE DUNLOP SEAPORTH, ONT. MARVELS FROM NATURE'S PATENT OFFICE Nature is, above all, an inventor. Her specialty is tools and machinery. She is full of just such shrewd de- vices as are produced by the Ameri- can inventor, with their patented fea- tures, their fine "talking points" and their quick -selling gadgets. In inventing a bird, for instance, Nature was confronted with a fine little problem. How was she to make a rooseing bird which could tuck its head under its wing and go sound a- sleep for the night without danger of falling off the perch? This problem was conquered by at- taching to the cords which operate the toes an extremelSr long tendon— one which runs nearly tbe whole length of the leg and broadens into a 'muscle situated high' up on the front of the thigh. The tendon pass- es ever the knee in front, runs in a spiral direction round the bone of the lower leg, and then (passes over LOSE YOUR FAT This sensible way Start taking Kruschen Salts—that's the common-sense way to reduce -hut don't take them with the idea that they possess reducing qualities in This is Ivhat (hey do—they clean out the imi'l:rities in your blood by keeping 1),.7itls, kidneys and liver in splendid working shape and fill you with a vigor and tireless energy you'd almost forgotten had existed—you get the needful exercise.

Th i!ightor or u.ppe mast elle of the olk 'bears on • its surface the germ ,s t which represents the fu- ture ch eken. This germ m spat, being always uppermost, is near the warm body of the hen in hatching. Wlhil the chalaza holds the yolk in posit on and twists accomn9odating- ly so that the yolk will not have to turn when the shell does, it is yet so slack as to let the yolk float near the upper surface of the egg --a fur- ther fine observance of the needs. of the chick to be close to the source of heat. Nor is this all. A chick or young bird, even from the time when its true lungs are not yet formed, needs a small but constant supply of fresh air. For this reason all eggshells are porous. If the egg happens to be hardboil- ed, we can note the flat place. on the big end. This marks an air compart- ment for the use of the chick just befpre it is hatched. It is the chick's firet breath. A chick develops with its head toward the big end; and when it is fully formed, and its lungs are all ready for use, it pricks the slight membrane which forms a wall to this air space, whereupon the air rushes to its lungs. Inspired by this new access of en- ergy,_the chick now gives the shell a vigorous peck and makes a hole through which it can continue breath- ing. And as the bill of a chick is too soft to make any impression on the hard shell of an egg, the end of it is provided with a point of flint -like hardness. After the chick has be- gun to run about, this point falls off. Here is a case where Nature makes a tool for a special purpose, uses it once and then throws it away. There is an old saying that man is the only tool -using animal. But in Queensland there is a spider which hangs downward by a strand of web and holds in its claw a lasso about an inch and a half in length. The end of this lasso has en it a drop of sticky fluid placed •there by the spi- der. When a moth comes in reach, the spider whirls its lasso rapidly and skillfully catches the moth on the sticky drop. Then it draws in its prey, like a man who has caught a fish, and sucks it dry. This spider, called the Magnificent, differs from a species in South America which whirls its lasso all the time and re- news the drop on the end whenever it becomes dry. Our public museums of natural his- tory, even though their "stuffed" an- imals are really works of art, still lack something which makes for Iive knowledge. What I should like to see is a museum that dealt with the live motions of things and illustrated them with working models. Let us have. for instance, the -pulleys and levers of a hen's leg automatically working the claws—a bee's sting on a large scale with its spears alternately pumping, an egg with a transparent shell and the trick yolk within.

Then too, a debutante occasionally "slips out" with only ,an inconspicuous tea or perhaps no formal celebration whatever. But she must be well- known to do that. The debutante's ritual is compli- cated enough. She gives her ball, she must also give (her parents' friends generally give them for her) two or three formal luncheons, and she will attend a tea at her home and be duly admired and petted by her mother's friends, most of seleom she knew and probably disliked before. There will be occasional theatre par- ties (which her parents will give), and she will go to several others (which somebody else's parents are giving), It will all take a great deal of the debutante's time and a fair amount of her parents' money. There remains the matter of clothes. The average debutante al- lowance is $2001 a month,- and the time during which she buys clothes is from September to March, which would give her $1,400 for clothes if she didn't have to pay for taxis. How- ever, the parents provide and will usually give the offspring an evening wrap, three best evening dresses, and a fur coat.- Most girls wear $7.00 or $8.00 hats and cheap evening slip- pers, satin -dyed and with buckles that can go from one pair to the next. It must be remembered that debutantes dance continuously and that no mat- ter how gallant the swain, he is prone to step on her toes. The debutante's evening wardrobe will probably con- sist of four good evening dresses ($150-$250), four others for lesser oc- casions ($100), one new evening coat with fur, and one old one. And it is quite all right to wear the same dress twice in the same week, but never should one wear it on consecutive nights. Your debutante can dress on $4,000 and be very smart, and there is no reason why she cannot meet the situation with $3,000. A mother may bring a daughterin- to the world and consider it pretty much her own business. No such priv- ilege is hers if she wishes to bring her daughter into society. She must find out just who is who in New York and tell them about her daughter. She must see to it that she invites the right people to her party and that her dau&titer is invited to the right people's parties. Even when there were supposed to be only 400 such people in New York, it took the rare ingenuity of a Ward McAllister to re- cognize them. To -day it is' probably the rather formidable Mies Juliana Cutting wb'o takes his place. Of course no one in New York knows everybody. NOTHING LIKE KNOWING Ann sighed. Her sister had writ- ten her to buy a piece of dress goods in town. But her directions were -vague and Ann did not feel. like getting it without more information. "I know: I'll telephone her!" So she talked to her sister over Long Distance and, got full details. •It was more than worthwhile to feel abso- lutely sure. A stews item says there are 20,000 less travelling salesmen than there were ten years ago. Our theory is they etopped at a farmer's house.

It will appear on the newspaper society pages. ' On or a few days before a certain debutante's ball, hers will be the only picture on the society pages. The ball, of course, is the debutante's apotheosis. But she does not reach this climax without pain. She gets tired and probably thin from party after party; she is atrabilious in the morning when she wakes to realize she must attend another luncheon. And her parents must share the pain, and pay the costs. There is, if the debutante lives in New York, the matter of the ball at the Ritz or Pierre's. At the Ritz, for instance, the average cost is above $10,000, but occasionally people spend $10,000 for floral decorations alone. There are such items as $1200 to $1,- 500 for music, ,and supper at from $3 to $5 per stomach for 800 or 1,000 Fer $5.00 a supper, Captain Willy of the Ritz will have 85 waiters serve hot bouillon, creamed oysters and scallops. with mrushroams, squab, breast of guinea hen or quail, a com- plicated salad, individual ice cream, petith fours, and coffee.

Of course Mies Cutting's in- formation gives her a great deal of power. She could, if she wished, vir- tually ostracize. Or if she liked you' she could see to it that you were in- vited to occasions which under any other circumstances you would never attend. Not that she does, but she - Miss Cutting is. not alone in her field. For advice, a mother may turns to Hostesses, Inc., or Tappin and Tew, both extremely helpful and pleasant. But it mrust be said that Miss Cutting possesses practically a monopoly in an unusual' field. This, then, is the $15,000 machinery which operates to create a New York debutante. With 2e0 or more debut- antes a year, it means an expenditure of more than $3,000,000. It is the wan chaperons who line the halls of the Ritz (you may engage the servic- es of a chaperon from Miss Dignum's for the moderate sum of $4.00 an ev- ening). It is Captain Willy of the Ritz and Pierre and the mysterious omniscient Miss Cutting. It is the pretty little debutantes dancing unta three or four every night in the cheap satin slippers and the expensive dress- es. It is luncheon after luncheon, too many cigarettes, and eventual and feareonte. boredom. It is the fear of not being seen somewhere and the great pain of going there. The whole purpose, on the parents' part, is to tell the world that their daughter, having now reached a certain age, is prepared to marry. Of a certainty it is a lavish way of making the an- nouncement for, when you think of it, a notice on the society pages of the newspapers would serve the pur- pose as well.
