STANDARDS OF THE
KINGDOM
Matthew r5:3-10, 43-48
Golden Text.—Blessed are they
which are persecutedfor righteous-
ness' sake; for their's is the king-
dom of heaven. -Matthew 5:10.
One of the most loved" portions
of scripture is that: part of the Ser-
mon' on the Mount, known as the
Beatitudes. This -message was given.
to the, disciples, and only may
those 'who believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ as. Saviour claim these
blessed promises.
The Word blessed here may also
be rendered happy, not referring
to outward Happiness, but a spirit
of happiness that coines'from with-
in. "The Poor in Spirit" are those
who are conscious of moral power-,
ty,.those who are truly Bumble be-
fore God, and recognize their deep
spiritual need as sinful beings.
To mourn are those who are
grieved because of personal sinful-
ness. Also those who like Jesus, are
grieved because of the sinful con-
ditions of those around them. ,it
implies a deep love and passion for
the souls of the lost, and the glory
of God.
* * *
The meek are those free from
self assertion, They seek -no honor
or fame here, and patiently submit
to the Father's will.
Those whohunger and thirst, are
those with a strong desire to be
fully conformed to. God's word, to
'be right .with God and to do that
which is right in His sight. To be
merciful is to have genuine ' com-
passion, pity and loving kindness
toward others, which leads to help-
ful action on their behalf.
To be sure in heart means to have
unminded' aims and purposes, to
seek only the Glory of God'and the
faith of .Christ and not only out-
ward correctness but inward, holi-
ness and sincerity.
The peacemakers are those who,
because of divine nature, use. all in-
fluence to promote, both in private
and in public, at home and abroad,
peace with all men.

How Can 1?
By ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I keep brown sugar
from lumping?
A. Keep the brown sugar fn an
open jai in the refrigerator andit
will become and remain soft and
free from lumps.
Q. How can I make a soap jelly
that is good for cleaning'
wood-
work?
A. By dissolving 1 heaping ta-
blespoon of white soap in 1 cup
' hot water, thenstirring in 1 level
tablespoon of washing soda and
allow to remain in a'• cool place to
stand until solid.
Q. How can I prevent the feet
from getting cold?
A. To keep the feet from getting
cold and to help circulation in tate
winter time, try sprinkling a little
salt hs the bottoms of the shoes.
Q, How can I remove paint
front, window glass?
A, Rub with hot, strong vine-
gar. Repeat if necessary.
Q. How can I judge the age of
chickens?
A. Judge a chicken by looking
at the skin of its feet. The skin is

The heirs' of the kingdomare de-
scribed as being persecuted and
suffering for righteousness. They
are persecuted for the sake of
.righteousness because they ate id-
entitfied with Jesus, the Saviour
King.
Corrupt teachers in Israel had
added to the command of the Lord
to love thy neighbor "and,hate thy
enemy". The Lord removes this
bitter phrase, telling them to .
"love
your enemies".
Love is a great and wonderful -
grace of the Holy Spirit, or new
nature in Christ. The first thing in
love to friend or enemy is respect.
There is no great virtue in loving
those who•love.us, for that is found
more or less'among all. people.
Jesus would not have us content in
being as goodor better than our
fellow citizens, but rather to have
us strive for perfection as our ra-
ther in Heaven is perfect.

CHAPTER V
Mark lifted his . head. "No, I
wasn't there by any chance. I don't
know. her, 'Mrs. Lynn."
His hostess looked perplexed.
"But she should be your cousin;
there are so few-Byrams. You
must come in on the Tom Byram
,side?"
Mark caught the gleeful 'malice
in Landon's eyes.
"No:". he replied flatly, "not on
any side. You're mistaken, Mrs.
Lynn. I'm not related to the'Utica
Byra sis."
She was a little taken aback. But
a woman of the world passes such
things' over lightly; she turned the
conversation swiftly,' though her
eyes flashed ,one keen question at
Landon He t}tlddened and moved
uneasily in his chair. It was Pam
who spoke softly to Mark.
"I'm so glad) Those Utica By -
rams are so stodgy. I didn't see
how you could belong!"
"I might be a hop out of kin, you
know," he answered quickly, and
then, its an undertone: "Suppose
I'm not a Byram at all; what
then?"
"Oh, but'it's your name)" she
laughed, as if at a huge joke.
"But if it wasn't my name?"
She lifted hre shining eyes, eels
chief in them; "What was it Ju-
liet said? 'A . rose by any other
name?'"
"Do you remember about that?"
he asked her daringly.
"The play?" she laughed out-
right; "of course I tlol"
"With Romeo it was love at first
sight," said Mark,

Again the flame that played in
his -eyes held hers. She drew a
quick breath, smiling, clinging des-
perately fo the conventions. She.

Lynn, was in the drawing roost.
"I can't see where you could -
have been! Pam laughed. "Why,
you know steps -I never heard of—
and not one I know!"
"Nomartsland has only one—the
lockstep"—Mark replied recklessly. •
He might have stayed too late
but for Mrs. Lynn's entrance. She
sent' him away, Still graciotisly. If
he was not a Utica Byram he was
something of a mean. She was wo-
man enough under her worldliness
to be a little thrilled by that. Be.
fore she knew what she was doing
she had told hint her days at home.
"But, of course, Archie will bring
'you," she ended, suddenly cooling.
* • *
Pam said nothing. She had told
him all these things already, and
another—she was • in,,,the habit of
riding her pet ')!orae in the park,
mornings. This was something Ar-
chie Landon did not know; she did
-not want Landon and Banks there)
It was after he left the hous.e that
Mark had his bad quarter of an
huor. He had gone there as an im-
postor, on the wager of two worth-
less boys, under ae assumed name.
It would be black • enough for a
mere joke, but he was an ex -con-
vict. Given that, and they found
)tint out, he would deserve some-
thing worse than mere expulsion,
"A man does mad things when
he's in lovel" he thought.
But it troubled. hint. He tramped
the streets, thinking of it, wretched
at' heart, It was past midnight
when,he went in search of Teddy
Banks. He wanted his own clothes.
Besides, it was part of the bargain
to report to the young scapegrace.
He found Banks alone and sulky=
his rooms, a bachelor's suite, thick
with. cigarette stroke,
"I' won," said Mark, beginning to
take off his coat,
Banks stared at him, biting his
cigarette.
• I knowl Archie's been here, rip-
ping orad. What the deuce did you
do there, anyway?
"Got asked to dinner.' Did he
pay his wager?."

swore he'd like to murder ntel

fellow with a clean shirt! I got my.
money out of Archie." s
'Archie says you threw back five
hundred dollars. Why?"
"You'd metier ask me why I.tools
it in the first. plate," Mark retort-
ed bitterly. "I think I.tvas mad."
Some remnant of conscience
stirred in young Banks.
"It was only for tonight!" he
called after him thickly. "Only for,
tonight; that's flat, remember—yow•.
can't go back there, you know!"
Mark thought the boy had been
drinking again. He did not answer.
He shut the door on him and went''
out to walk the streets all night.
There was even an exhilarating
freedom in doing it:
It was nine o'clock when 'Mark
Grant, sleepless and breakfastless,
went back to Fosdick's office. To-
day he would receive his aunt's leg-
acy. It would give -him themeans
to go away, He remembered his
relief at that thought yesterday;
today it means exile!
* .* * •
Fosdick, coming in to find him
there, waiting, was no more .cor-
,dial than on the previous day. But
he took the matter up; it was ap-
parent that his idea was to . get
done with it and with Mark,
"You'll' have some papers to
sign,' 'he" said -bluntly. "Come over
to, the courthouse, there are form-
alities."
Fosdick showed scant courtesy,
but the money' was intact—thanks
to the little lawyer's scrupulous
care.
"I wouldn't have let her leave it
to you if I'd had my way," he said
bluntly, as they closed the business
up.
Mark reddened in spite of him-
self. "Mr. Fosdick, do you remem-
ber Herbert Burleson?"
The lawyer shot another- look at
him. "Sure, I dol He's the great
Burleson, now. Why d'you ask?"
"I saw him yesterday."
-Fosdick started, andthen he
remembered that it night have
.been the 'merest chance. He nod-
ded. "Very likely. He's got a kind
1
of palace here."
Mark, folding some papers in his
pocket, assented thoughtfully. "He
was with my uncle that last day;
he knew there was no quarrel be-
tween us. He could have testified
for me."
Fosdick drummed on his. desk.
"It's late to think of that," he said
coldly.
"I tried to bring it out; no one
believed me,"
Fosdick shrugged. "Are you try-
ing to imagine Burleson will clear
you now?”
Mark rose. He. had motley in his
pocket; lie looked' grimly down at
the sneering little mean.
"A man has a right to fight for
his life, Mr. Fosdick, I'm -young
- still, I've got red blood in me
I'm going to fight for my life."
Fosdick looked him over thought-
fully. For thefirst time he seemed
to realize the man who had conte
back.'Titere was power in the fig-
, ure and the face; Mark stood up-
right, unashamed. In spite of him-
self the little lawyer was impress-
ed. But he fingered the papers on
his desk impatiently; he was not
one to admit he had been touched
by anything.
"Better go west and live it
down,' he advised dryly; "no easy
thing to dig up evidence after fif-
teen years. It would'' take your
twenty thousand all right. I sup-
pose when you find the evi-
dence—" he grinned -"you'll set up
your claim to the Barton fortune."
"Yes," said Mark slowly -"then
1 night—but not until then.' Good-
day, Mr. Fosdick."

From His -Lordship
"Dring the evacuation of child-
ren from London all types of
children were hustled out of the
big city," Dr. George Buchan,
Medical Health Officer for Will-
esden, London, England, relates.
"Some went tocottages and some
to castles, regardless of whether
the kiddies ,carte from London's
East or West End. One Of these
homeless children was sent to a
castle. He was put to bed by a
valet, after having been washed,
and the same procedure of wash-
ing went on the next ntorntng..
Finally he was taken down to the
long breakfast table. Af one end
sat his lordship immersed in his
newspaper, at the other end of the
long table her ladyship presided.
After waiting while the butler put
down a fork, then a spoon then a
tebe napkii,t the East -End kiddie
became annoyed. "When iso l get
my . breakfast?" he demanded,
banging his small fist on the: pol-
ished oak table. His lordship'.
looked up from his paper s
lowly
rose and carte around to the now
frightened youngster. Leaning
over hint, patting his back in en-
couragentent, he said: 'Congratul-
ations, song I've been trying to -
get up nerve to ask that for the
past 80 years." '

would be that they would have no
