The whole field contentedly-, doing a kind of work staff came to cheer and wish success to the flight, Then Sunny and Jimmy Hale ran for their own plane. Mont lifted Natalie almost bodily into her place in the small cabin, The motor revved up and roared. They taxied across the field and then there was a rush into the teeth of the wind. They were off for Denver, Cleveland and New York. Once more Natalie Wade settled her shoulder against Mont's arm, and happiness flew with them as they swept toward the mountains. That day 'seemed like a dream to Natalie, but it ended in nightmare whenrefuelled theyref i 1 led at Denver. In terror the girl watched while Mont shifted a cabinhatch and climbed to foot -rests above with his body whip- ped by the angry slip -stream. What if the ship should veer sud- denly.and throw him from his place? But she remembered then that there was auxiliary controls' on the cabin reef by which he could handle every- thing but the lateral rudder. She sate the fuelling ship mount above them. She knew that it must! hold steady for the proper contact, that Mont must catch the swinging fuel line and whip it into the tank vent. She could see little of the operation, but she knew presently that it was a success. She saw the other plane swing off to the South and head back to its field. Mont slid back into his seat and closed the hatch. He grinned at her, and inan in: stant she was in his arms, clinging to hint with hot tears streaming down her cheeks. He kissed her hun- grily, but he Iaughied at her tears. They flew on then into the dark- ness. There was nothing to guide them but'Mont's instinct and the star - glow of the night sky. There was a beacon now and then, but they seemed so few and far apart. makes us grow rightly, It is work Natalie fought her terror through' which puts us inti the esteem and the night. It was not impossible, it seemed to her, that this boy could circle the monstrous earth below in this frail plane. He would crash. He would die somewhere along that route that had been a thin, red line on the globe in the flight office! Mont knew the Long Island flying field and the towns that lay about as 'and at a hotel. He never acquired bad habits. He Was thrifty. But he became a recluse. He wasn't very welcome socially, because he did noth- Ing, and contributed nothing to the rleasure of any company. He was regarded as being "close"—a "tight wad". He lacked social graces. He showed no liking : for women, and through all his life he remained - a bachelor. He would not have been.a success as a husband. Had he mar- ried, he would have watched every penny his wife spent. He read only newspapers. He was lazy. 'He was agreeable enough when you met him, but he had nothing to talk about. Ile joined no societies. If he went to church, it was to take no part in church activities. He dressed well. He was respected in a rather negative way, but nobody held . him in high esteem. Nobody make him a com- panion. This man punished himself heavily for his passimony, his idleness, his non -participation fin the affairs of the town where he lived. He, became went to Europe. This man watches his business most carefully. He himself is aneffeetive salesman of his gloves' and mets—to er that was in here, did you?" he grinned. Natalie laughed. "Listen, kid," Jimmy said. "I've got more news for you," She looked np, snapping the lock of her grip. "Sunny is sore as a goat She wanted to make that trip herself. Now sire's going by another plane and I'm going with her. We'll be there a little while after you land." "Jimmy!" the girl cried. "That's grand!" pleasing to them, and in whose doing they can make all the money which they can use. What is the sense in accumulating a lot of money in ex- cess of one's requirements? What would you think of a man whose pas- sion was the accumulation of furni- ture, or cattle, or land, or ships far in excess of his requirements? Most men do not need more than $10,000 a year to live very comfort- ably—themselves and their family. Most of us are ready to say that we would be very well satisfied with an income of $6900 a year. If we had $20,000 a year, we would not be able to use it all. Probably we would force ourselves to use the whole of it. We could ver s'1 y easily y find ways of spending $20,000 each year ,but we would be spending money for things which are quite unnecessary to our comfort and happiness. And how much worse it would be for us if we had an income of $100,000 a year. An income of $10,000 would suffice to give us all; the food needed for us, all the clothing, all the furniture, all the pleasures good for us to have. Earnings in excess of $10,000 would be used for indulgences, for extrava- gances, and for investment. There is grave moral danger to a man and his family when they have a super -abun- dance of money. The possession of a lot of money does not assure happi- ness; on the contrary, it is apt to make those . possessing it very un happy. Many persons say, "If I had a lot of money I wouldn't work". What's wrong with work? Work is good for us. Persons who do not work are not to be envied; rather should the be pitied. Work is a means by which character can be developed. Work is the means by which every one of us can make a contribution to our day and generation. It is work which favour of others. It is work which enables us to live wholesomely. I am thinking of a man who had, from his childhood, enough money to enable him- to live comfortably. He never did much work as a young man, and in his 20's he quit working alto- gether. ltagether. He lived in a small town, he knew the back of his hand. Every- where he was hailed by friendly voice. Ile turned his ship over to the start- ing control station while Natalie tele- phoned the Eastern newspaper con- nections' for which she was to do her story. She had scribbled a diary of the flight as they flew East. Now she must find a• quiet spot to turn out her lead. So overwrought was she by her fears that she told Mont she didn't believe she could do her work.. He hailed a cab .and hurried her off to a tiny hotel where he was known. Presently he sat beside her in a pleasant room overlooking a quiet street. "Now, take your time," be said. `Nobody knows where you are. No- body can bother you till you are ready for then. Do your stuff and then we'll tell them where to come for it" 1 When he suggested that he leave her alone so that there wouldn-t be any distraction, she cried. out, "05, please, Mont. Please stay here. I'd' r le if you left hie here alone."And a colorless citizen, Ile was a cypher. A P so he satbeside her as she wrote.

But fear struck. then at l this man added to his income by her heart. Sleep would not come. work, he would have been able to (CONTINUED NEXT WEEK) dare more. But he chose to remain him—no gratitude, none to lament his passing. I suppose that it is true that most persons in this world want more mon- ey than they can use, and it is true that money -accumulation becomes the ruling passion in the case of count- less persons. Many will live meanly in order to build up a fortune — a fortune which others will obtain af- ter they, the makers,of it, are dead. It is quite right—indeed, it may be an obligation—in a man to build up a surplus for the sustenance of those of his family who survive him; but it isnot at all right when the busi-' ness of building up a fortune robs the' builder of the virtues of kindliness,' courtesy, generosity, lovableness,' charity, neighborliness, honesty, jus- tice, and causes him to deny to his' family their reasonable requirements.' A man's wife and children would very much prefer to have the breadwinner give them a goodly measure of cam-' fart and pleasure, and, in the case of children, a good education, plus s� sound character and a sane outlook on life, than that he should withold these things in order to build up a fortune. All. of us know persons who gave themselves up to money -making and who neglected their wife and children, letting the children grow up without the enrichments of a father's love and direction. We have seen the chil- dren turn out badly. We have seen the old age of parents made sad and bitter because of the waywardness of their children. I am thinking of one man who is drinking himself to death because life has become ashes in his mouth. He neglected his home life when he was a younger man in order to get rich. When I asked him about his sons one time, he cursed them. Good counsel is, Do the duty that lies barest you. A. duty much near- er than money -making is building oneself up in the love of one's fam- ily and in the esteem and regard of one's friends and associates—this by doing something which strengthens one's character and which benefits others. roraACCO R A IV 113:0,COOL. sMitiCE CANADA'S PRICELESS MUSEUM ,OP INSECTS. Canada's national collection of in- sects is an important factor in "Sys- tematic Entomology". This statement may evoke the question—What is sys- tematic entomology and what has it to do with Canada? Everybody knows that entomology is the.ilepart- ment of science dealing with the study .of insects as a whole. .Fewer people may know that Economic En- tomology comprises the practical work in combating insects which ul- timately Would ruin the economic wel- fare of the Dominion, and still fewer are aware that Systematic Entomol- ogy is .the basis or foundation of all entomology, supplying as it does a mong other things the discriminations necessary upon which to combat in- sect havoc on food, clothing, farm crops, forests, and plants. In Canada alone there are more than 50,000 known species of insects native to the country. Of that num- ber, 3,000 are classified as destructive 'enemies, there are immigrants which ( enemies, there . are imimgrants which have come to stay, such as the euro- peen corn borer, the Hessian fly, the European spruce sawfly, and the Col- orado potato beetle, to name but a few. Every year the material and financial loss in Canada, as in other parts of the world, is enormous, while all the time the Entomological Branch Dominion Department of Agriculture, is waging incessant warfare against the insect menace to reduce the econ- omic loss to a minimum. 1 Systematic Entomology, in provid- ing the material for entomological en- ergy, embraces the classification of ,insects, the study of their structure, their habits and their whole life cyc- ' le, and the building up of a national collection of specimens. It is work that demands a very high standard of scientific knowledge and infinite pa- tience, a particularly essential requis- ite if a scientist or research worker hopes to attain even a modicum of Iauccess. °°u40.n•01.1.M..•naen.=.n.°a..u...M. .o..n.1101a.su,01.o.a.,11•DIAM.*r.1•n4=1....0.n.11.n.,.u....) THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FEBRUARY 13TH. Introduction to the Lesson by REV.-GORDON A. PED'DIE, B.A. Leeson Text—Mark 2:23-3:6. a m h h LO id Y e h e t i e u de e ns a 11 e n t a holy sabbath unto himself," Then further the Catechism asks. "How is the Sabbath to be sanctified?" "The Sabbath is to be sanctified by a holy resting all that day, ever from such worldly employments and recreations es are lawful on other days; and spending the whole time hi the public and private exercises of God's wor- ship, .except so much as is to be taken up. its the works of necessity and mer- cy." The next question asks, "What is forbidden, in the fourth command- ment?" To which the Catechism answers, "The -fourth commandment foabiddeth the omission, or careless performance, of the duties required, and the profaning the day by idleness, or doing that which is its itself sinful, or by unnecessary thoughts, words, or works about otn, worldly employments and recreations." Finally, the Shorter Catechism completes its reference to the Sabbath by the question, . "What ale the reasons annexed to the fourth conimandnient?" "The reasons'an- nexe 1 o c to the fourth commandment are, God's allowing us six clays of the week for .our own employments, his chal- lenging a special propriety in the sev- enth, his own example, and his bles- sing the Sabbath day." The attitude of the early Protes- tant reformers towards the Sabbath cley may be seen from. the above Catechisms. But there is one aspect of the Lord's day not mentioned' by either Luther or the Shorter Cate - Golden Text -M r�k 2:27, The Commandment rectus, "Heinen kr the sabbath day to keep it holy Six days shalt thou labour and do al thy work: but the seventh day is the sabba':h of the rd thy Ged: in i thou shalt not doany work, thou, no thy son,' nor th daughter, thy man servant, nor thymaid-servant, no thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rester the seventh day: wherefore the. Lord bles- sed the sabbath day and hallowed it.' - (Ex. 20:8-11). In considering his fourth command- ment Luther, in bis "Small Catechis- ism", asks the question, "What does this commandment mean?" And the answer which h gives is simple and direct, "We should so foar and love God as not to despise preaching and his Word, but dem it holy, and Wil- lingly hear and learn it." The Westminster Shorter Cate- chism deals muchmore folly with the question el the Sabbath Day than Luther, First, the Fleeter Catechism asks, "What is required in. the fourth eonu,,andment?" The answer states, "The earth cop ntandnient requireth the keeping holy to God such set times as he hath appointed in his Word; ex- pressly one wholeday'in seven, to be ' chism, but emphasized in the second !half of the answer to the question is 'the "Heidelberg" Catechism, The -1 question asks, "What does God re- quire in the fourth comamuclment?" 1 The answer, "In the first place, that the ministry of the Gospel and schools t be maintained; and that I, especially r ton the clay of rest, diligently attend church, to learn the Word of God, to r use the holy Sacraments, to call pub. Hely upon the Lord, and to give Chris- ten alms, In the seeoncl place, that tall the days of my life I rest from my evil works, allow the Lord to work in me by his Spirit, and thus begin in this life the everlasting Sabbath." 1 This last aspect of the meaning of the Sabbath clay, that is, that it pro- vides us with a concrete evidence and opportunity` of ceasing from one own weeks and brings us to remem- brance that we have been set free from the proud attempts of self-justi- fication to which the are so prone and ntacle partakers of an eternal rest by Ithe grace of God,—this aspect finds 'its Scriptural reference in the Epistle to the Hebrews. "There t•omaineth 'therefore a rest to the people of God, For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did front his" (Heb. 4:0-10): (It is their refusal to enter into this rest from their labours, and to listen 1 (as each of the Catechisms urge) to the. Word of the Lord of the Sabbath, Ithat causes the Pharisees to misun- derstand, and to question, the action of Jesus end his disciples, By doing on the Sabbath day that which seem- ed contrary to tradition, that is, Plucking the cars of corn, the diseip- les and Jesus made manifest the truth that they trusted not in the mere out- ward observance of works of right- eousness; .and, while engaged in a "work of necessity" (Shorter Cate- chism), the disciples also, •being pre- sent with the Lord, find in His -word both the authority for their action and the true source of their rest. As with the "work of necessity", described in the closing verses of the second chapter of Mark, so with "works of mercy", as, for exa:nple., the merciful healing of the man. with the withered hand described in Mark ' 3:1-6. Here too the "Son of man is LORD of the sabbath," Here too s,elf- righteousiiess is put to shame by the anger• of the Lord, (verse G). Here too the secret of "rest" is seen to re- side in the obedient hearing of the Word of the Lord on the sabbath day: "Stretch forth thine hand", says Jesus. Anel in faithful obedience (where hitherto every effort ofhis own had failed) the man "stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other",—thus do the faithful. find rest in the word of their Lord, when they gather, with the infirmities of their flesh, in the "synagogue" on. the sabbath day.
