In my heart, I shall al- ways be the same little child 1 was the day father found me far from home, lost and bewil in the great city, and saw me a way off, and came to mq, and lifted me in his arms. God grant!me to keep the childlike heart. 3 T'm glad you urged me to write these simple records, brother mine. on ! T began them my heart was heavy, too heavy to break. But as I went om, some measure of the load was lifted, and, indeed, much of the writing has been done with delight. I have loved with the flowers, played pretty plays with the. little ones, danced at the baby parties, imade music with father and mery with mother, and cuddled down to sleep beside you every night in our twin nursery beds. Little by little, as I remembered and wrote, the heavy ache began to go out of my heart; little by little, the weary burden of the long, hard years lighten- ed and lifted. Slowly, too, I began to see that all life is one, that the eternal essence that breathes in me is one with the flowers and the birds and the stars, one with the mountains and the vastness of the sea, one with all love, the live that expresses itself through lover or chili—from God. I was thinking of all this when the children came, and laughingly, loving- ly, scattered over me their gift of carnations. When they had closed my door, and T hurried to dress for breakfast, listening ail the while to the sound of their scampering feet on the stairs, and the music of merry child voices floating back to me on the sweet air of home, suddenly there came to me a new interpretation of life. I wonder if T can put in words pre- eisely what T mean. I hope so, for I would not have vou misunderstand. Al at once I scemed to get a larger look at lifa and at what Iife means. My own life work stood out to me from a totally different point of view. I scemed to see that all T have been doing since I was a child oftentimes Iaboriously, always _conscientiously, | and many’ times doggedly, because | things had to be done, has never been my true life work, but merely the lit- tle daily tasks that have come to my hand as 1 journeyed along.

Among the bar- barous or ~ semi-civilized peoples strehgth savs to weakness: “Come and serve me, till my flelds, fight my bat- tles, spread my table, fill my cup, do my ‘bidding.” But some nineteen hun- dred years ago a different conception of the relgtion of strength to weak- ness was introduced, brought into the ‘world by one who sald of Himself, “T am among you as one that serveth,” and who sald to his disciples, “The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them and they that have authori- ty over them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so, but he that is the greater among you let him become as the younger and he that is chief as he that doth serve. It is mot without significance that it is only in Christian countries or in Jands where Christian Influence has begun to malce itself felt that we find, on any large scale, hospitals and dis. pensaries, asylums and homes for the aged, the crippled, for orphans and other unfortunafe children. Only in Christian lands do we find much agi- tation against child labor and tuber- culosis and other evils that sap the life of the people and particularly of those already at a disadvantage in the struggle for existence, But we still have a long way to go Dbefore strength s uniformly tender toward weakness. How can we help the world In ‘general to practice Paul's injunction, “We then that are Strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak. "In the first place, who are the strong and who are the weak? One hesltates to draw a line in any home in any community and put on one side all the weak members and on the other all the strong ones. Most of us are hlends of strength and weakness. A safer classification would put by themselves only those who want to he strong, who are using the means at their disposal for acquir- ing strength, even though they may be painfully conscious of certain evident or latent weakness. Hardly anyone, indeed, is devoid of at least one or two clements of strength. Health is one, and another is unimpaired mental fac- ultfes. Knowledge and _experience, money and friends, a cheerful disposi- tion, a firm faith in God, such things as 'these contribute to = man’s strength And if you possess any one of them are in duty bound to put it up against corresponding weakness in someone else. And who are the weak? Without atteching an unpleasant label to my brother or my neighbor I would say in general that these are some of the most obvious weak points in the lives of men in the mass: streaks of coarseness and vanity,a hasty temper. an uncontrollable tongue, a sour and fault-finding disposition, a tendency towara pessimism, an overmastering appetite. Now ‘when we run up against such traits as th in our own home, our club, our church, our 4ocial circle, shall we draw the cloak of Pharireeism about us and inward- Iy felicitate ourselves that we are not like other men?® S indifferent attitude as the littie girl tried to do who came home and told her mother that ‘she had seen down- town & poor, lame man sitting beside the way and holding out his hat for pennfes. “He looked very hungry, mamma, and very ragged, but it wasn't any of my business, was it mamma?® Whenever and wherever strength can buttress weekness it Is its busi ness 5o to do. We can at least try to shield weakness from the gaze of, oth- ers instead of jeering at or advertis- ing it. strength at the weak point. Delicate business, it is, trying to help others, and some of the weakest people resent help when offered. In such cases we can do things. We can set them a Z00d example and we can do_ what Jesus did for Peter. “Simon, Stmon, Satan is after you, but I have prayed for you.” How rich and happy life in any com- munity will' be when all its strength is brought to bear upon fts varied weaknesses and the strong, the well- to-do, the educated, the self-controlled, the virtuous and the Eodld (hink et not of hows they may enjoy their own possessions, but of how they may use them for others. Would not you like to try to make your town that kind of a place? THE PARSON. Producing Rain Artificially. The aeroplane farmer has arrived. He has no fear of drouths. When na- ture fails to make rain he takes water up in his aeroplane and lets it fall on the growing crops. The water requires no parachute in returning gracesull to the earth. The story reads a bit lik a joke, but that it is merely natural to "the first attempt of that nature to overcome the drouth conditions. Georgs T. Hulsizer of Livingston, N. I., is the up-to-date farmer. He had two acres pianted to late crops and the drouth of the last few weeks in that section trowbled him. But he is an Inventor as well as farmer, and made a bipiane glider, put an engine into it and hitch- €d the airship by means of a rope te the earth attached to a windlass, load- €d the airship with water tanks and sent it up into the air. When It w over the right place on the farm the rope was made fast, the bottom pulled out of the water tanks and down came the rain through a sprinkler. The crops have done well since that and the aero- plane farmer is laughing at his less enterprising neighbors while their crops dry up. may be one of the institutions of this country by and by, and then there will D2 no smiles about the eccentricity of the man who frst dared to do it.— Worcester Telegram.
