Bedtime Story for Children By THORNTON W. BURGESS

DANNY'S HOME-COMING WHEN the first Jolly Sunbeams came stealing through the Green Forest, Danny Meadow Monse began to be uneasy., He was thoroughly rested and the dangers of the dreadful night were already forgotten. Perhaps 1 should not say that they were forgotten, for, of course, that isn’t, quite true. Bat Danny had quite put them out of his mind. That is the way with the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. Dangers that are past are not worth thinking about. They must keep their minds clear for possible dat.gers to come. So Danny’s thoughts were not of what he had been through, but were wholly of getting home. He thanked his cousin. Whitefoot, for all the latter had done for him and then climbed out of the hollow stump and once more started for the Green Meadows and home. As long as he was in the Green Forest he was anxious He didn't feel at home there. He didn't know what to expect. He Imagined ail sorts of dangers. But the Instant he reached the edge of the ’ Green Meadows hla heart became light. He still had a long way to go and many things might happen before be reached that snug little home and Nanny Meadow Mouse and the babies. But Danny's heart was light, for on the Green Meadows he knew Just what to do and where to go. He could see Bedtail the Hawk walling round and round, high in the blue, blue sky. He knew that Redtall was watching with those wonderful eyes of his for a fat • Meadow Mouse, but that didn’t worry j Danny in the least. You see. he knew just how to keep out of sight After a while he reached one of bls own private little paths. The brown grass huhg over it making a regular little tunnel of it. Danny scampered along as fast as his short legs would take him and wo presently he reached his snug, safely hidden little home. The half-grown children raced out to meet him to see if he had brought them something. Inside, the babies were having an after-dinner nap. Os Nanny Meadow Mouse there was no sign. You see. Nanny was out getting her own dinner. It was while he waited for her that Danny began to wonEYOU Know—' That Easter probably derives its name from Eastre, a Saxon goddess?

I TAPIOCA ICE CREAM \TOW that the mechanical refrigerator has become such an everyday affair, we are learning new ways of economy in foods as well as energy. The use of qulck-cooklng tapioca has become common in the preparation of soups, omelets, berry pies and meat loaves, but now comes the thrilling discovery of what this versatile ingrediet can do for ice cream." With the use of tapioca, a velvety smooth cream can be made without the bother of cranking the freezer. Yet no more cream is required than for the mixture which must be stirred. Simply prepare the mixture, set the control for freexlng desserts and forget all about it until the freezing is complete. For those who have no mechanical refrigerator, turn the mixture Into a mold, pack in ice and salt and let stand for four or five hours. Formerly recipes of the mousse type, with a large proportion of cream have had to be used in order to get

IMPROVED J UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D, Member of Faculty. Moody Blbla Institute of Chtca<o. ©. Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for August 18 MARTHA LESSON TEXT—Luka 10:38-41: John 11:17-28. GOLDEN TEXT—Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.—John 11:5. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Homa Jesus Loved. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Home Jesus Visited. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Can I Help at Home? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—A Home That Attracts Jesus. The lesson committee designated Martha as a home-makex. That she was a home-maker is to be conceded, but to view this lesson only in that light is to miss its vital point, for Christ’s teachings here are equally appropriate to male and female, in the home, office, shop, schoolroom, farm, etc. I. Jesus Revealing to Martha Her Supreme Need (Luke 10:38-42). 1. Jesus welcomed into her home (▼. 38). Though Jesus had no home of his own, he could come into this home at any time and throw off the restraints incident to public ministry. What a blessed thing it would be if all homes were open to receive Jesus. 2. Mary sitting at Jesus’ feet (v. 39). While this was Martha’s home, Mary seemed to have lived with her. Mary had a peculiar spiritual insight which prompted her to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to his words. The real place to hear Jesus’ words is “at his feeL” ‘Let no one imagine that Mary did not render any service, for the little word “also” Indicates that she had been serving with Martha. 3. Martha’s complaint (v. 40). She was so bent on providing a good meal for Jesus that she was on the verge of distraction. Her many assumed duties had so got on her nerves that she not only found fault with Mary, but even censured Jesus for allowing Mary to sit at his feet while dinner was being finished. She even assumed the authority to command Jesus to send Mary back to heln her. The sure way to serve without distraction is to first sit at Jesus* feet and listen to his words. 4. Jesus* reply (vv. 41, 42). a. He rebuked Martha (v. 41). This rebuke he administered most tenderly, for he knew that Martha loved him sincerely. Those who are supremely occupied with Jesus are anxious for nothing (Phil. 4:6). b. He defended Mary (v. 42). In this defense he declared that there was but one’ thing needful and that Mary had chosen that good part which could not be taken from her. Those who choose this good part cannot be robbed at it by friends, foes, or circumstances. 11. A Revelation of Christ’s Love (John 11:1-36). L The sickness of Lazarus (vv. 1.2). Even those who are in close fellowship with the Lord are not immune from sickness. Sorrow comes even to the homes where Jesus is loved. 2. Martha and Mary send for Jesus (v. 3). Because the; had come to know Jesus as more than a mere man they instinctively turned to him when this shadow fell across their home. 3. Jesus’ strange delay (vv. 4-6). They sent for Jesus because he loved Lazarus. They said, “He whom thou lovest is sick." Jesus abode in the same place because be loved Lazarus and his sisters (v. 5). This mystery is to be explained by the fact that Jesus was divine and knew all things. 4. Jesus goes to the Bethany home (vv. 7-17). His mission in going into this home was twofold; to minister to the sisters and brother and to strengthen the faith of the disciples (w. 11-15). 5. Jesus teaching Martha (vv. 18-27). As he was nearing the village, Martha met him with a complaint because of bis delay. He Ignored her complaint and taught her concerning the resurrection and the life. a. “Thy brother shall rise again” (v, 23). He is saying these words to every sorrowing sister, brother, wife, husband, child, and parenL b. "I am the resurrection, and the life” (vv. 25. 26). He is the source of life, and all who are joined to him by a living faith are in such vital fellowship as to be unaffected by bodily change. 6. Jesus weeping with Mary (w. 28-35). In response to the Master's call Mary fell at his feeL uttering the same words used by Martha, buL no doubL in a different tone of voice and attitude. Her words were responded to with tears. “Jesus wepL” He still mingles his tears of sympathy with those he loves and those who love him. 111. Jesus Raising Lazarus (w. 3844). His great sympathy now expressed Itself in •upernatural power. Sympathy would be value’ess without this connection with divine power. It Is sympathy and love linked with omnipotence that make his ministry so eloquenL Greet Lives in Small Places A great man need not be born In a great place, nor does the biggest city as a rule supply the most of a nation’s leaders. Shakespeare came from a small village; Carlyle was the offspring of an obscure rural home; the rulers of the nation today are mostly the product of the remote towns and the obscure villages. And yet we find yonng folks often complaining that they cannot make anything ont of life because they are compelled to lira apart from the crowd. But the pit boy may be nearer the premiership of a great people than even the son of its loftiest lord. A man’s significance depends upon himself rather than on either his ancestry or his environmenL Friendship It was a great Roman who said twp thousand years ago, and it is still true, that those who take friendship from life biot out the sun from the world.

Little Lights on LIVING 8 . By MARLY LEONARD Dean of Women, University of Illinois © Western Newspaper Union. THE SUN-LIT TOPAZ ONCE when leaving France, I received" as a gift a charming little necklace of silver and lapis lazuli. With the gift came to me the story of the maker of the necklace. A little Frenchman who owned a tiny shop lit the Latin quarter of old Paris always informed his patrons, I am told, that he made his jewelry with gold, silver and love. One day an American lady asked to see the most beautiful thing In the shop. Without hesitation he brought from a high shelf a -tiny box, and showed his visitor a necklace containing a marvelous topaz, which he had bought after the war from a noble French family. “1 wish I could buy iL” the lady said. To her surprise he responded. “I am so happy that you cannoL Though I need money badly, I need its beauty more. Always when I am tired and disheartened,” he said, “I hang my topaz in the window, the sunlight comes through it on my work bench, then can I make things more beautiful." If that would sing in all hearts each day—“to make things more beautiful,” what a different world we could make of this old planeL Wars would cease. Hearts of selfish greed would change and share with their neighbors. We can make more beautiful the lives of, those we meet each day, can glorify our work in office or home, no matter how humble it may be, can radiate from happy hearts the joy of living to even casual passers-by. Early one morning sometime ago I was walking up the beautiful elm-bor-dered walk on the university campus. The day was glorious. There was still that untouchable freshness in air, trees and grass that only spring mornings have. It made one’s spirit dance. I met a professor with his accustomed cane and brief case going to meet his eight o’clock class. One look at his frowning unhappy face, with mouth drooped and self-centered downward look, and my spirit halted, surprised that here was one, while walking under God's vaulted elms, constantly looking down. “No topaz in the window of his soul,” thought L A few steps further I met a freshman girl, whom I knew was having a hard financial struggle, working long hours after school, buL oh, what “a morning face” she had, radiant and lovely! When the sunlight' comes through the topaz of happiness, it will illumine not only our lives, but others as the sun-lit topaz made radiant the tired heart of the little old shopkeeper of Paris. Then can we make life Aiore beautiful! • • • COMING LEISURE NOT long ago a young graduate of two years declared that now her college days were over, life beld little for her, as she did not need to work, and she was tired of play. “1 Am bored with society In particular and with life in general,” she added with a sigh. Here she was, talented, with a wealth of leisure time on her hapds and had made of it only an idling time, instead of a growing timet "One’s leisure is time to Invest,” I told her, "it is not time to spend. Time spent is gone, time invested is saved.” Leisure is not “unoccupied time”—the dictionary notwithstanding I What an irretrievable mistake for countless generations to have been brought up on. Too long have we been training our I children to think and plan their lives in terms of dollars rather than time InvestmenL Money spent can always be re-earned. Time spent can never be returned. Time should be budgeted like money now is budgeted. Children should be taught to expect the largest possible dividends from each day of 24 hours. They should anticipate education from their study time; skill from their play or leisure time; health from their sleeping time. Parents lose an opportunity for giving, their children an early life lesson on successful living when they fail to keep on training them in their play time, as we hear so often “run away and play.” Play time |n childhood becomes leisure in adulthood. Leisure in America is coming; leisure that in the past has been a gift to the rich only will soon be part of an average man’s day. In order to spread the work of the world to more heads and bands, some folk will be forced to work less hours so that others may work at all, for everyone who has to live ought to have a chance to work. Work is a blessed privilege, so is leisure. Only the man who appreciates work can fully appreciate leisure, and I am beginning to think, can appreciate life to Its fullest The true test of an educated person Is that be can enjoy himself when alone and not have to pay another to amuse him. Life holds no boredom for the man who can recreate bls soul in his leisure time. Life’s enrichments come to os not through the use of our money, but througb the use of our time. Since the American goal has been riches rather than enrichment what are we going to do with this coming leisure? Largest of American Grouse The sage chicken is the largest of American grouse.
