S. S. LESSON FOR MAY 10th, 1931
Lesson Topic—The Parable of The
Pounds
Lesson Passage --Luke 19:11-26.
Golden Text -1 Corinthians 4:2.
Dr. Alexander MacLaren in one of
his sermons had the following to say
on this lesson:
"We have four things here, which
I may designate as the Capital, the
Business, the Profits and the Audit.
The Capital—A pound was a very lit-
tle thing for a prince who was going
to get a kingdom to leave with his
servants to trade upon. The small-
ness of the gift is, I think, an essen-
tial part of the representation. May
it not be intended to point out to us
this lesson—how small after all, even
the high gifts that we all receive a-
like here is, in comparison with what
we are destined to receive when the
kingdom comes? Even the salvation
that is in Jesus Christ, as it at pres-
ent experienced on earth, is but like
the one poor pound that was given to
the servants, as compared with the
unspeakable wealth that shall be
theirs—the ten cities, the five cities,
and all the glories of supremacy and
sovereignty, when He comes.
Now a word about the Trading. You
Christian men and women ought to
make your Christian life and your
Christian service a matter of business.
Put the same virtues into it that some
of you put into your trade. Your best
business in this world, as the Shorter
Catechism has it, to glorify God and
to enjoy Him for ever. And the salva-
tion that you have got you have to
trade upon, to make a business, of, to
work it out, in order that, by working
it out, by living upon it, and living by
it, applying its principles to daily life
and seeking to spread it among the
people, it may increase and fructify
in your bands.
The Profits—The immediate results
are in direct correspondence ankpro-
portion to the immediate activity and
diligence. The truths that you live
by, you will believe more because you
live by them. The faculties that you
employ in Christ's service will grow
and increase by reason of your em-
ployment of them.
The Audit—"Till I come" or "Whilst
I am coming." As if all through the
ages the king was coming, corning
nearer. We have to work remember-
ing that everyone of us shall give an
account of himself and his trading un-
to the Proprietor when He comes
back.
In a sermon by Rev. S. A. Brooke
we find the following on "Give it to
him that hath ten talents." "At first
sight it seems strange that he that
has most should have more; and it
was thus it struck the standers-by.
"Lord, he hath ten talents." On the
contrary, it was strict justice; the
sentence was, first in full accordance
with the wisdom we derive from our
observation of men; and, secondly,
with the laws •of the working of the
universe. It was a mere sentimental
objection. Take, first, that side of it
which had to do with the slothful ser-
vant. Why take from him his one
talent with which he had done no
harm? Give it back to him and let
him have another chance. The man
who has ten talents has enough al-
ready. Yes, he will have another
chance when his character is chang-
ed but it will have to be changed by
punishment, not by weak tenderness.
He mast be made to feel his useless-
ness, forced to alter his view of God
and of himself, or else all the givings
in the world is only doing men harm.
To him that hath it is given. Grace
is born from grace; to him who has
love more love is given; he who is
true can assimilate more truth; he
who is pure deepens in purity; and by
the working of this law the world is
blessed, for the best is given to those
who can use it (best."
WORLD MISSIONS
The story of Niishima is one of the
romances of missions. Attracted by
the inscription on a world atlas, "In
the beginning God created the heaven
and the earth," he began to pray to
the "unknown God," and to plan to
leave Japan for a country where this
God was known and worshipped.
Leaving the government office where
he was employed, in 1864, this yY,outh
of fifteen made his way to a seaport
and there succeeded in hiding himself
on a foreign merchant vessel, and by
the good -will of the. captain, working
his way to America. At Shanghai he
exchanged his sword for an English
Bible, and on the journey applied
himself diligently to the study of it
and of the English language. Arrived
at Boston, the estination of the ship,
the captain told Niishima's story to
the owner, Alpheus Hardy, a Chris-
tian gentleman, who took Niishima in-
to his home, treated him as a son,
gave him the best education available
and sent him back to his. native land
to be one of the greatest Christian
leaders. A Japanese student at 'Vic-
toria University many years ago said
to a Canadian fellow -student starting
to Japan as a missionary, "when you
go. to Japan, visit Kyoto, and do not.
fail to call on Joseph Niishima, my,
old teacher. He is the best man II
ever knew."--a(To be corttinued).

in astrology are entitled to the sante

Gets Relief through Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills (Tonic)
"About five years
ago," writes Mrs.
Joseph Penrose, 164
Sydenham Street,
Brantford, Ontario,
"I was troubled with
weak kidneys, indi-
gestion, and very yellowish skin. I was
working at the binder twine factory at
the time, making canvas sacks on a
machine, but had to be on,my feet most
of the time. Well, I would take dizzy
spells, and have to return borne, and my
nerves were very bad.... I sent to the
drug store and got one box of Dr.
tiams' Pink Pills.... Before they were
finished I had received so much relief I
got three more boxes.... I am married
now and have three fine, healthy boys."

Williams' Pink Pills (tonic) build up the

sometimes over the radio giving hor-
oscopes; and not long ago a corres-
pondent on this page suggested that.
if people wished to adopt vocations
to which they were particularly
adapted they should consult with these
astrologers who would tell them for
what pursuits they had special abili-
ties. But we have not heard it sug-
gested that it would be a bright move
to tell a prospective employer that
the candidate for the vacancy had
just left a couple of dollars with an
astrologer. He would certainly not
be placed in any position where his
sense of the value of money might be
expected to function, If we had any
curiosity about astrology it would
not be whether it had any germ of
truth in it, but how it came that any-
body had ewer supposed it had.
Captain C. C. Dixon is a little more
polite; in fact a good deal more po-
lite. He says mildly that it is not
good policy to knock anyone's beliefs
and we say earnestly that the cap-
tain is missing a lot of, fun. He then
proceeds, in an article he sends us,
to examine with great patience and
equal erudition the facts or supposed
facts upon which the pseudo science
of astrology is based. He says:
"The Signs of the Zodiac • are one
of the basic ideas. Each grouping of
stars in the twelve divisions have a
name, and stars in the sign region
are treated as being a unit and
assigned to a part of the human body
and the sign partakes of the char-
acteristics of that part of the body
and the attributes of the creature
after which the sign is named. Let's
see if an arbitrary mathematical
diviaion of the region of the heavens
in which the sun seems to make its
annual tour, and which the earth
really does. They, the collection of
stars found in the region, cannot be
considered as a unit or really group-
ed in a form, at all resembling what
we see. Stars apparently close to-
gether in the line of sight may be
10,00'0 light years apart, A star in
the opposite sign 180 degrees away
niay be much nearer to it than the
one that looks so near. So they are
in no sense real groups of certain
shape."
In the state of ignorance and su-
perstition which prevailed when men
first conned the stars and speculated
about them, it was natural enough
perhaps that they should ascribe to
these distant bodies the qualities of
the gods and goddesses for which they
were named. Mercury was thus
named because it moved across the
heavens with great rapidity. Venus,
because of her brilliant and beauti-
ful light, was thought to suggest the
goddess of love. The red tinge on
another planet suggested blood, and
thus Mars came to be named and has
hold his place as the god of war.
Now mythology is an older supersti'+
tion than astrology. The latter, . in
fact, is largely founded on it. And
so it comes that,because the ancients
thought there was a god of war and
invented the nhme of Mars for him,
the astrologers when naming a plan-
et Mars insisted that those `horn un-
der its influence," as the jargon goes,
partook somewhat of the nature of
their preposterous notion we have yet
to hear of it.
The more urbane captain now con-
tinues the story:
"Now as to the moon much stress
is given to the waxing a'hd waning
of the moon and its influence on in-
dividuals and events. The words we
use in astronomy, the 'changes of
the noon,' are purely- arbitrary or
convenient. There is no change.
Always is half of the moon in the
sunlight and half is not, one excep-
tion being during an eclipse of the

moon wIten the earth cuts off the
sunlight from it. The relative posi-
tion of the moon and earth and sun
along are responsible for the fact we
see a varying portion of the lighted
and dark sides. The moon cannot
be shown to have any influence on
anything except by its action through
gravity or light. Its influence on
clocks, discovered by astronomers,
was quoted as of some occult and
wonderful tforce. It was the attrac-
tion through action of gravity on a
clock pendulum when swinging in
an east and west plane and the moon
was east or west. And even then the
effect was practically negligible, be-
ing a minute fraction of a second in
years. The moon cannot be shown to
have any effect on weather directly,
but only a slight indirect action
through the movement of large
masses of water in tides."
Captain Dixon notes that the as-
trologers never cease to point out
how the happenings in a person's
life correspond with what the horo-
scope indicates. But when one con-
siders the many millions of events
which occur in a life time or in world
history, it must be easy enough to
pick out -a few which will correspond
with any forecast, any horoscope.
The method simply is to ignore those
which do not show a correspondence.
Similarly when an astrologer under-
takes to give advice about worldly
affairs, he is limited to two/sides,
success or failure. By tossing a coin
he would have an equal chance of be-
ing right. If he is wrong he does
not advertise the fact. But the
whole system of astrology, or the in-
fluence upon heavenly bodies upon
human affairs, is vitiated by the fact
that new and important planets have
been discovered since the alleged
science was elaborated. The assump-
tion must be thateither they were
without influence for thousands of
years, or that they brought into
existence new influence, either of
which is absurd.
LIGHTEN WORK IRONING DAY
To wash a rope clothesline and a-
void tangling, wind the clothesline
around the legs of washboard, form-
ing a continuqus figure eight. Then
scrub the clothesline with a good stiff
scrubbing brush, rinse in clean hot
water—unwind and dry.
* * *
When Line Space is Scarce.
To allow each article to be hung
in the usual way use- coat hangers
for dresses, shirts, nightgowns, and
underwear. A hanger takes up only
a little space on the line and a large
washing can be dried easily.
* * *
If the wire clothesline needs a prop
under it, fasten a small round pole
to the line by means of a wire staple,
driven over the line and into the end
of the pole. It can be moved along
the line as needed, and will not blow
down or slip.
* * *
When Ironing.
If you find that your hands feel dry
and hard and become reddened when
ironing, wind absorbent cotton about
the handle of the iron.
It will pay you to have several
coat hangers on hand on ironing day.
Do not try to fold the dresses or
blouses; instead, slip them on hang-
ers and so avoid wrinkles. They can
be folded when perfectly dry—or, the
hangers can be hung on a pole fast-
ened across the closet ---and so kept
perfectly smooth.
* * *
Much time and labor are saved by
buying an asbestos mat to use on the
ironing -board. The iron may be
placed on it instead of lifting it
on to the stand every time one puts
it down — especially when one is
ironing small pieces like handker-
chiefs. This saves the cover of the
ironing table as well as the strength
of the ironer.
* * *
When limen has been badly scorch-
ed, try the following remedy: Boil to
the consistency of paste half pint of
vinegar, two ounces of fuller's earth
and the juice of two lemons. Spread
this mixture over the scorched part
and leave to dry. After washing they
will be as white and perfect as the
rest of the linen.
* * *
A good cover for the ironing -board
can be made from unbleached muslin
with brass rings sewed along each
edge about one foot apart, opposite
each other. Take a corset lace with
tin ends and lace the cover tight to
the board over a padding. When the
cover needs washing, it is quickly re-
moved.
* * *
It is poor economy to use old
sheets for ironing board covers.
Rather use them as an additional
pad underneath. It is cheapest in
the long run to buy new unbleached
muslin, the heaviest obtainable, for
the outside cover, and be saved the
annoyance of continual tearing and
riping of worn-out sheets. The un-
bleached cotton should be washed
before using.
* * *
To Protect the Ironing Board Cover.
The covers of folding ironingboards
which stand on end when not in use
are frequently soiled where they have
come in contact with the floor. To
prevent this annoying trouble cut two
pieces of oilcloth a little larger than
the end of the board; sew them to-
gether on three sides, forming a
pocket. When the ironing is finish-
ed, slip this cover elver the end of the
board, and you will have no more
soiled covers.
• • •
If you _ have trouble keeping the
sleeve -board cover in a smooth
condition, try drawing a discarded
white st4eking on the board over the
padding. It will $t snugly without
a 'single taek and 'All not become
loosened as it is used. • The stocking
will "p;ive" to fit either aide of the
board and is very easily drawn on or
off.
