We haven't been al- lowed much say about the side we were to take or the parts wé were to play. We haven't even been consult- ed about the rules of the game. One thing we can bo reasonably sure of in any game—that some may win and some must lose. Nor is it always the best man who wins. Perhaps it ought to be—but it isn't. Some good men have grown rich and great; and some have been burned at the stake or giv- en to the lions for lunch. The game doesn't always nor often work out as we think it should. But we've got to play it—to keep on playing it, wheth- er we approve of it or not, whether the rules suit us or not, whether our side wins or not. These things being so, what's the sensible, the manly thing for us to do?

Beard of Willimantic, from the text Mark10:45, “The Son of Man came not to be Ministered unto, but to Minister. The theme was the udge by |church of the Twentieth Century. While some volces declare the church ineffective, _another recognizes its efiiciency.” Some members value the churoh for what they can get from it, be it salvation or culture. Others value it as an_opportunity for the invest- ment of their talents in service for the world. The greatest heresy is to hold aloof from service. on of the Church. The mission of the church is unique in its capacity for moral sturdiness, both in the field of politics ond in social industrial and domestic co-op- poration To fulfill this its members must be morally strong themselves, must be in sympaihitic touch with their follow men, and in their various callings must be sources of power. A test for church membership should be a deciared purpose to follow Christ, and that no man hold himself back from service. oo The choir sang sepral anthems ana isted in a service of praise le Wm. E.

Beard, a missionary for fifteen years to China. and now District Secretary of the Board, spoke of encouraging signs of moral and religious progress in_the missionary lands.

Holden, of Preston City, paid a tribute to some of the Mission. ary Heroes The Bee and the Race. _Darwin demonstrated that the quan- tity of red clover in a place depended in large ineasure on the number of ‘0ld maids” in the particular locality. This way: The bumble bee fertilizas the clover, the great enemy of the i bumble bee 13 the field mouse, which in turn, is tackled by cats which are the particular pets of old maiden ladies. It is a wonderful chain. The story is brought to mind by a lecturer in Lon- don who has just been showing what a marvelous éifect bees have on the human race. Formic acid, which no chemfst can made, is obtained diregt from the bees in America and used gs @ cure for rheumatism, and in the e farmer and fruitgrower ars also- immensely benefited.

When the weeds get mature enough to wave their seed pods at you it is a defiance no intelligent man will stand. It means trouble ahead. Mrs. Parson Dawson told me it some- times takes cdpital to live without work, and sometimes it only takes a proper mixture of laginess and shame- lessness. Bill Bangs never had a horse that was medn enough to kick, and I do not know as he was ever mean enough to xick a horse. Meanness never blos- soms alone.

A few Sundays ago I was wal ing leisurely along to church, enjoy-— img the beautful scenery and the sing- ing of the birds, when a little flower right at my feet caught my eye. I topned a minute and admired it. As 1 was passing on I thought: “Why that little flower thers to be trodden on?" 1 retraced my steps, plucked the tiny flower and carrled It to my home. There was a lesson in that little flower for me It said plainly: “You love flowers, but be- cause I am small and grow &t your feet you were going to pass me by with only one look.” It was then that I was.reminded of the many blessings that the Lord is constantly bestowing upon his children, and how many of us accept and appropriate these bless- ings without giving Him a “thank and we fail to appreciate the little things,,but are deoking forward to “tomorrow,” when we hope for something better than we have today. It is right for us to aspire high, for It brings out the best there is in us: but let us not forget the little blossoms at our feet, the Mttle blessings, the little pleasures, for after all, our lives are made up of little things. Let us be watchful and helpful, not letting an epportunity pass for doing a kind act or a good deed. We know mot what influence we may exert over the lives of those we gome In conitact with y “"Tis wiser far to number The blossoms at our feet, Than to be ever sighing For just one bud more sweet.

Gather the rose leaves cach day, after the dew has.dried from them, end pack them down in a stone crock, with alternate layers of sait. Keep’ the jar in a cool, dask cloget. Every few days turn yhe contents out upon a tray and turn and toms toget the air reach all the petals, them fe- pack.

Editor Social Corner: 1 enjoy the Social Corner very much and look for- ward to it every week with a grea deal of pleasure. | I have a few heipful hints for the household which I should like to give the readers of the Social Corner: If your wall paper has & bad grease spot, take a whits blotter and saturate with benzine and put on the spot, then take a hot iron and put over if, and when the benzine evaporates you will find that your spot has disappeared. In cleaning kitchen walls that are especially greasy try putting’ baking soda on the cloth that you are wash- ing with, then wash off with clear water. If you have a white bedquilt that has become sofled and needs washing try putting It on the line and turning the hose on it. After it is all we rough wash all the edges and soiled with naphtha soap, then tarn hose on again and leave on the Ene until dry. this for a change of dessert: Cut up a pineapple or use canned Sineapple, and about s half pound of marshmallows (out each hmallow in two or three parts); them to- gother and set away to harden.

A darling dog of mine was run over by a tourimg car, and though my ohlldren are no longer Httle, thelr way, as that of all wayfarers, is perflous nowadays, even when they are not transgressors against the rules of the road. I neither envy nor grudge anyone his automobile. I would have one of my own. if T could afford It. And, on a long, level stretch of country road, with no obstacle in sight, I like to speed. On the other hand, I de- nourice the reckless driving along t ana village roads. around critical_cor- ners, and througi city streets. Even in our fair town there is too much of thie, 2xd the only wonder is, not that there are accidents, but that there are not more. For the motormen of our trolley cars, however, I have the Mghest admiration anq respect. The cars must be run swittly in order to satisfy passengers and keep to schedule time. Consequent- 1y the motormen must be incessantly on the alert. For them eternal vig- llance is the price of their position, their “job,” elr self-respect and peace of mind.

Good Health, Editor Social Corner: In these days of ten-minute-a-day reading, or half- hour etudy for improving the mind, how many woms make it a point to spend certajn “minutes” in rest to improve their nerves and their beau- ty?

Near where I live, live two little dogs that must be the dread of our notcw- men.

Editor Social Corner: Sentiment is one thing and discipline is another. As one of the writers for the Corner stated, one rule does not do for all children. When I was a child the hard blow came my way, and I merit- ed it. The attempt was never made to coax me, but everybody appeared inclined to drive. T did not calcuiate that any one could drive me, and my pride was in demonstrating that fact. Juvenility was fierce; I was often flogged and I didn’t care how tough they thought 1 was. I reached & a_lack of reverence for holy things. ‘The Koran, chapter 9, says: “God loveth the clean” There is no doubt that Charles Wesley found the seed- thought for this wtterance In the scriptures, but I confess I cannot verse and chapter it. Let us hope that “Ne. braske” will be able to, for enlighten- ment is the watchword of The Bulle- tin's Social Corner, as I imterpret it. Norwich. ELIZA JANE. Table' Manners Neglected. Editor Soclal Cormer: I have read the Social Corner letters and am much interested in them and wish to_enter the Social Corner. The Social Corner letters are excellent and they improve each week. My subject you may think sn odd one, but it is one that is neglected; that is, teaching manners at the table. You notice boys who tip their hats to every lady they meet, often have hardly any manners at the table. Girls, too, who have mice man- ners everywhere else, are just the same as the boys at the table. It alwaym seems queer to me. the way table man.. ners are neglected, and I cannot help wondering why It is. There is noth- ing that atiracts more attention among well-bred people than ill man- ners “at the table. Oftentimes the addition of the littls words “please” or “thank you,” ould chi s of the knife er z tiTacts them from danger nor teach them how te guard themselves.—except their good friends, the motormen. T am one who holds that other places than the streets ought to be provided for little children as playgrounds. THE WAYFARER.
