INTRODUCTION—"There was a time
in the life of Principal Rainy," writes
Dr. Morrison, "when he was exposed
to violer. abuse. Hardly a day passed
but in the newsp...pers his actions were
misinterpreted a.nd distorted. One day
Dr. Whyte met him. ' `Rainy,' he said,
eI can't understand you. You seem as
radiant and blissful as a child.' And -
Rainy answered very quietly, `Alt! but
Whyte, I'm very hal py at home."'
The people in it were Christian rat
home. Home conditions have much to
do with success or failure in work.
T. THE CHILD AT HOME, Luke 2: 40.
From the time of his birth until he
enters upon his public ministry, only
one glimpse is given us of the home
life of Jesus. This silence is of a piece
with the usage of the early Jews.
They were interested in a great roan's
life only during tee period In whirh
it was conspicuous. .A. man's earlier
years, or the years of his retirement,
did nut matter.
This silence regarding Jesus' early
life is eloquent proof of the inspira-
tion of the Gospel writers. In thc
Gospels not included in the New Tes-
tament, he carried the spilt water it
his robe; he pulls the short board to
the required length; he strikes dead
with a curse a boy who runs against
him; the neighbors protest; Mary is
afraid to let hint leave the house. Our
Gospels, on the other hand, tell of a
normal child and of a strictly human
development. Jesus is free from the
wilfulness characteristic of so maty
spoiird ch:.dren. Eager to stay with
the Temple teachers, he goes hotncs
suleeittio r himself to parental author
ity (v. 51). and there continued his
all-round development, v. 52,
It. THE PARENTS AT HOME, Luke 2:
41-50.
Joseph and Mary observed faith-
fully the requirements of their reli-
gion, v. 41. As soon as Jesus was old
enough to make the journey to Jeru-
salem, they t.,ok him along, to... The
Passover, itself, was eaten only by
stales, but the weak of :Ite _Nast was
a time of universal rejoicing, so that
husbands useal;y took their wives alt
well as their son;. When Jesus, as it
were, joined the church, he had the
support and example of an earnestly
religious home.
Trained to love his religion. to look
upon Israel as Clod's cho,en people, to.
hope and pray For a great rcdemnption,
Jesus, on that memorable visit to Jer-
ttralcm, found his absorbiaf; interest
in the Tempi:. The children of ome
parcrts find their major interest in
the church what they coma to the city.
Others do not. Pilgrims, coming frorn
a distant community, trawled in 1_iri'e
caravans foe company, and especially
for safety along the bandit -infested
roads. It was quite possible for on:
parent to assume that the twelve -year-
old boy was with the other parent.
Thus Jesus' absence was not discover-,
ed until evening. The return to Jeru-
salem would occupy another day. On
the third day (v. 46, after three clays
would mean this) they found him.
Many a boy of twelve properly in-
structed and unusually intelligent,
surprises his elders. How much more
Jesus!
"And they understood not," v. 50.
It is a lonely hour when parents dis-
cover their their chilcren have moved
forward into a world inhere they can
not follow. Mary's failure to under-
stand her boy in the Temple was only
the first of many a painful, and even
bitter, mnisunderecanding.
III. MARY AND MARTHA AT HOME, Luke
10: 38-42.
Jesus was a frequent guest in the
home of Mary and M, rtha. Mary as-
sumed that he cared more for the so-
ciety of his friends than for a big
all mer. Martha the notable house-
keeper and cook, resolved that no ordi-
nary meal was good enough to set be-
fore so loved a guest. In any case,
thirteen to dinner on short notice is
not always a simple matter (it is prob-
able that the disciples were there, too) .
The Marthas leave you in the parlor
while they fuss about in the kitchen;
the Marys give you the best they hap-
pen to have, but they do not permit
• mere food to interfere with the fellow-
ship, Mary, doubtl:;es, had worked
with her sister until such a meal as
she 'thought necessary was prepared.
Martha continued to be "cumbered
with much service," flying all ways at
once, a worried activity whieh accom-

d ed mnethodicaintieh lslabor. quiet,

injury at being left alone finally burst
furth with the complaint of v. 40.
Jesus warned Martha against the ten-
dency so to crowd life with activities
eat no time or energy is left for that
"better part",communion with himself.

for the display of foods, floors, furnmi-
ture, but for the development of per-

Prince of Wales Called Best
Linguist in Royal Family
The Prince of Wales is the best lin-
guist of the rorai family, says "The
Manchester Guardian." Eighteen
months ago he knew scarcely any
Spanish, but after acquiring a thor-
ough groundwork in the tongue by
regular daily studies with Dr. Antonio
Pastor, professor of Spanish at Lon-
don University, he took every oppor-
tunity of procticing while on his tour
of South America, with the result
that he not only can deliver a formal
public speech in correct Spanish but
can carry on intimate personal con-
versations with ease and fluency.
Besides Spanish, the Prince's other
foreign languages are French, Italian,
German and Danish. Frequently at
York House, when receiving an offi-
cial visitor from abroad, or some em-
bassy representative, the Prime will
delight and surprise him by speaking
in his own tongue.
SUCH IS TIME , , .
Even such is Time, that takes in
trust
Our youth, our joys, our all we
have,
And pays us but with earth and dust;
Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our
ways,
Shuts up the story of our days;
But from this earth, this grave, this
dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust.
--By Sir Walter Raleigh.
Written on the night before his exe-
eution for treason in Old Palace
Yard, Westminster, on October 29,
1613.
What Are the Things
What are the things that stake life
bright?
A star glean. in the night.
What hearts us for the coming fray?
The dawn tints of the day.
What helps to speed the weary toile?
A brother's friendly smile.
What turns o' gold the evening
gray?
A flower beside the way.
--Paul Laurence Dunbar, in "C'oni-
piete Poems."
BORROWERS
Charles Lamb, tired of lending his
books, threatened to chain Words -
worth's poems to -his shelves, adding:
"For of those 11811ro'vr;'"sblifi read

read; and some neither read nor
meau to read, but borrow, to leave
you an opinion of their sagacity. I
must do my money -borrowing friends
the justice to say that there Is no-
thing of this caprice or wantonness
of alienation in them. Wheu they
borrow my money they never fail
to make use of it"
LIFE IS HAPPINESS
To exist is to bless. Life is Hap-
piness. In this sublime pause of
things all dissonances have disap-
peared. It is as though Creation
were but one vast symphony, glorify-
ing the God of Goodness with an in-
exhaustible wealth of praise and hate
mony.. • .we have ourselves become
notes in the great concert. and the
soul breaks the silence of ecstasy,
only to virbrate in unison with the
ieternal Joy'.

One of Profess -or Mlllikau's as-
sociates in tete California Institute
of :Technology, Dr. Carl D. Ander-
son, reports in Science the prob-
able discovery of a new particle of
matter.
A proton is 1,850 tunes more mas-
sive than an electron, In measuring
the energies of charged particles
produced by cosmic rays Anderson
finds tracks which seem to leave been
Produced by protons, and yet the
masses of these supposed protons
are much too small. Confronted
with something that is 'neither a pro-
ton nor au electron, Dr. Anderson
believes that he has found a particle
no more massive than an electron
yet much smaller titan a proton.
Ie this theory is verified we have
here a discovery of even greater im-
portance than that of the neutron.
After all, the neutron is a composite
—a close packing of a proton and an
electron. Anderson presents evi-
dence of a new ultimate unit, some-
thing that is neither proton nor elec-
tron.
In the new world of quantum me-
chanics mass and energy no longer
have the old siguificauce; indeed,
there is no distinction between the
two. Physicists may find here a
mathematical loophole which May
make it possible to explain what An-
derson observed and thus to escape
the acceptance of a third unit of

Sample; of the Universe
llillione of meteors are plowed
through by the earth every day, We
see them occasionally as vivid streaks
of light, the visible evidence that
they are being burned up as they
rub against the atmosphere. Yet
despite the merciful provision of an
atmosphere the earth has been oc-
casionally struck. Thus the largest
known meteor that managed to sure
viva atmospheric friction was the
Ahniphito, found some years ago in
Northern Greenland. Roughly it
measures 11 by 7 by 3 feet and
weighs 37% tons. Icor years the
Eskimos had been making knivee and
weapons out of its iron.
Although the chemical composition
is known, there is no information at
alt on the technical quality of their
iron. So it occurred to Dr. A..Nedal
and C. W. MacGregor, Westinghouse
research engineers, to test meteoric
iron just as if it had been produced

cut from a slab of luminous fire ball
that had fallen at Huizopa, Mexico,
and tested. It turned out that the
meteoric iron behaved much like soft
annealed ductile metal, a fact attri-
buted to the intense heat generated
in the meteor as it shot earthward.
The crystalline structure character-
istic of iron had • been destroyed by
the terrific !teat and possibly by im-
pact during the last mad moment of

Free -Wheeling Railcars
On the Newcastle_on-Tyne branch

an actual running time of eight hours.
Of these eight hours four are spent

Climbing the Heights
There is inexpressible joy is the
realization of having completely con-
quered a secret weakness, successful-
ly solved a formidable problem, or
faithfully discharged ,a disagreeable
duty. To many life is like climbing a
long, steep, difficult hill; but as the
years pass, those who courageously
press on and up find themselves at
last upon the mountain top of achieve-
ment, where they look out upon a
scene of indescribable beauty and, as
they turn to look back and down at
the road they have traversed, perhaps
rough and difficult in many places,
they realize that it has all been worth-
while, and that the final reward of
work well done has fully compen-
sated them -for the effort. Life is a
beautiful and inspiring journey for the
courageous traveller. ---Grenville Mei•

Problem 2,000 years.old—how a farmer

Years of observation hitherto had

From crop plants in the soil to be

much cuttings as would be usei in
making a cup of tea. With his ftngers
he crushes them slightly to bring out
a little juice. He puts them be a small
bottle filled with a .. peeial chemical

Peaches Now Best
For Winter Supply
Delicious Flavor Easily Re-
tained in Conserves
and Jellies
Beauty is not only skin deep
with peaches. The lovely color and
wonderful flavor holds a .food value
that is regarded as important by
dietitians. This year of abundant
moisture, even temperature, and flue
sunshine brings to Canadian markets
a rare peach—at its very best.. tliese
fine September days,
San ripened peaches shipped to all
parts of Canada give a luscious food
at lowest cost. Sliced peaches, with
crisp cookie or tender sponge cake,
will bring a happy climax to any
dinner. Whipped cream to garnish
the peach shortcake adds more pro-
tein and is considerably more fatten-
ing and very festive.
Now, unusual foods, like peach
jam or jelly, are so easily made at
home that the most inexperienced
cook may add them to her Winter
store. Then for cold mornings,
when peaches are no longer avail,
able, there is the fine flavor in a
clear, peach jelly, the very color of
the fresh fruit. Or there is a jam,
sparkling and tender, with the fruit
pulp boiled for only one minute in
it. Both bring again the flavorsome
fruit just as its finest now ---fully ripe
