But it takes more than the sunlight to give full benefit of outdoor fresh air. ‘The very atmosphere is theraputic. And it acts as a restorative to things, to in- animate articles, as well as to persons. It is of these inanimate things we are specially treating today.

JOHN R. GUNN. Spirituality. “To be_ spiritually-minded is life and peace.”—Romans, Viil.6. Who is the spiritually-minded man? 1 would not call one spiritually-minded | simply because he -wears a pious look on his face and never goes anywhere but to church. | Spirituality means something more than a pious mien and going to church. | Self-negation and abstinence from | worldly pleasures do not entitle one w‘ be called a spiritual man. Asceticism is not spirituality. Simeon, the “pillar saint,” spent 37 years on the top of a pillar, about a yard square, living on one meal a week, and exposed to all sorts of weather. | Wonderful endurance, but a caricature of spirituality. It would have been a far more saintly and spiritual thing to spend those 37 years in useful work. Pillar saints are useless, and & use- | life cannot be a spiritual life. Spirituality means unselfish work for | others. | “I cannot leave a brick until I know | it is comfortable,” said a bricklayer. He | was more spiritually minded than | Simeon, the “pillar saint.” He put his soul into the walls he built, and he bullt | walls that were useful. | Spirituality hegins with the desire to | be good, then rises to the desire to do | good. Love is the essence of spirituality. It | makes us compassionate, and compels us | | to communicate our good things. A cold, | it is through storles that children get lfflm’h man, though he be an archangle { values. the morality of negations, is not | spiritual. | Paul says to be spiritually minded is to have the mind of Christ.

Now .she may as well face the fact that it will probably take her six weeks to arrive at the spot which she | had reached in three weeks before. The child is going to feel that if he holds guzklong enough he’ll get the bottle ack. There can be no going back in child rearing. All the steps must go forward. Incidentally, neither can there be any standing still. We must move. Mrs. . R.

Shouldn't he be getting some more? “When I changed him to cup feed- ings he would not take all his milk, so I put some on his vegetables. Now he won't accept the vegetables unless di- luted with milk. Shall I starve him to this? My mother says if he loses weight OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL The Story Teller. Can you tell a story? Then you have the power to draw all children to you; then you are a great force in the educa- | tion of children. And you carry a great responsibility along with your gift, for | They learn to love what your | voice teaches them to love. You see what a great gift you have and what a responsibility? Reading a story is all very well. There are few stories that children enjoy hear- ing as read from a book. Stories ought to be told with voice of color, with dra- matic gesture, with emotion, with tact. Story telling is an art. But you can learn it. Maybe you won't have the power of a master, but still a power of your own that children | will feel and follow. First learn your SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

Tell it aloud to yoursell and watch in the mirror how it goes. When you are sure you have it, try it out on a group of children. ‘Watch the place where they begin to wiggle. There is something wrong right there. Try to get over that place next time. Keep your story sharp, keep it moving; cut descriptions of scenery; accent dramatic happenings; avold talking down to the children. It is never necessary and always fatal. If you select the right story, there is no need of talking down. Your audience n;'uat be on a level with you, or you lose them. Children won't stand for & tale with a moral at the end. Nobady can blame | them for that. If the story does not tell its own tale, wherein is the story, the tale? It is plain that it has none, and therefore no excuse for being. After you have told all the old ones, | strike out for some new ones. Search the “Jungle Tales.” Many of Kipling's stories can be told with great effect. Learn poems and recite them, especially narrative poems. Sections of “Evange- line,” Tennyson's “Princess” will give you some fine bits. There are great stories in the Bible. Ancient history furnishes its share. The world is full of stories if you will but look for them. Every family of children needs a story teller—somebody whose delight it is to search out wonders and recite them. Every school room in the land needs a story teller. Maybe it is your mission to ald this work by learning to tell stories better than anybody else in your town.|| Every camp needs a story teller. Camp| is the one place, if there is a one place, | | for a story teller. Remember to choose your story to suit the audience. You are very likely to select the story to suit yourself and never dream you are doing so. The law of good taste works here as well as other places. Ugly stories have no place in the family circle, in the class room || or in the camp. Beauty is all about us, and we, the children especially in the “we,” crave beauty. Come along, story teller! The children are waif for | you. (Covyright. 1930.)
