A BRILLANT SUNDAY SER1,MON EY THE rIEV. L. L. TAYLOR. Su.,ect: Children's Rights. Urcoklyn, N. Y.-Sunday evening, in Puritan Congregational ChurcO, the pastor, the Rev. Livingston L. Taylor, preached a sermon in antici pation of Anniversary Day, on "Chil dren's ights." The text was from Mark 10:14: "Sufr: the little chil dren to come un.' Me, and forbid them not; for of such is lhe kingdom of Got." Among other things, Mr. Taylor said: Here is the Magna Charta, the great charter of children's rights. The kingdom is their kingdom. The Christ is their Christ. He recognizes their right to be; their right to be children; -their right to a blessed life as children. The kingdom can not come exccept as children have their rights. Could we save the chil dren of but one generation, the king dom would be here. God does not work in just that way; but the k'ng dom will never come unless we keep our hearts with the children and our faces toward the unborn. The world must become better by being born again. That is the way the kingdom has been coming. The human race makes progress by being better born each time. The right to be well born should be secured to every child and from birth on all its rights as a child should be safe-guarded. Christ's blessing rests upon every plea for children's rights, upon every law enacted for their protection from inhuman parents, guardians and em ployers; upon every provision for their welfare when orphaned, or de serted, or sick, or feeble minded, or crippled, or in any way dependent, defective or delinquent. But the children who are thus afflicted, the children who are beaten and sent out to beg and steal, the children who are compelled to work long hours and under unwholesome con ditions, the children whose parents are dead or unable to provide for them, are not the only children who need to have their rights examined. In what we call the best homes cer tain rights of the children are in danger of being overlooked, are in need of being declared, championed' and secured. First and foremost, I would put the right of children to be children. They have as good a right to be children as we have to be grown up folks; a better right, probably. Childhood is as much a part of the framework of this universe as earth or sky or sea. The right to a child hood is inalienable. Your child has a right not only to live but to live as a child. We are not to infer that Paul was ashamed of his childhood because he said: "When I became a man I put away childish things." We are not to think the less of childhood because we were meant to outgrow it. Such real men as Paul was are generally discovered to have had a real childhood. He certainly had had a childhood sufficiently marked to be well remembered. Some men and women are not so fortunate. They seem to have for gotten that the:: ever were or 'v'ere meant to be children. But Paul said: "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought (or reasoned) as a child." And there seems to have been no body to interfere with him. "Child hood ar'd youth are vanity," said the preacher. But perhaps he wac simply iamenting their brevity. "Make the most of childhood and youth for they are soon gone." But if we are to understand him as pro nouncing vain and profitless the golden days of all our life, he is sadly out of tune with all the rest of the Bible. Vanity! Emptiness! The fulness of life's worth ~and meaning is nowhere writ so large as in the soul of youth. Is it just a lie writ large? Oh, no, for God wrote it The men who retain childh~ood's sense of the reality and eagerness of life are the men who never grow old and .never get through learning. "There is no substitute," says the bright woman from whose charming book of nursery logic I have bor rowed the title of this discourse, "for a genuine, free, serene, healthy, bread-and-butter childhood. A fine manhood or womanhood can be built or no other foundation.'' God says the foundation shall be childhood. Why, then, should we be impatient? Why should we fear to trust what He puts nethermost for all the rest to stand upon? It is well enough to think of the manhood and the wo manhood we want our children .o attain and to give to the world. But I am persuaded that we think less than we should of the childhood which it is our first duty to give them. Tl'e second right of childhood 'which I shall mention is the right to be governed. By a real childhood I do not mean an. unrestrained child hood. A child left to itself will not have a natural childhood. That which is most distinctive and beauti lul in childhood is contributed to it, or developed in it, by wise and lov ing restraint. The street Araib is not the ideal child. Nor is the child who grows up in a home v~here the political maxim that "governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed" is accepted as applying to parental authority. The authority of father and moth er is derived from the Fifth Com mandment and from the constitution of nature which lies back of that commandment. There is no author ity more august, more sacred, more God-given than parental authority. We abdicate it to our shame and sor row, to the shame and sorrow of the church, to the shame and sorrow of our children themselves. But, having said this, let me make haste to say that in the endeavor to maintain the control of our children our steadfast aim should be to put them at last in control of themselves. Our control should be the scaffolding of self-control. A child has a right, I say, to an intelligent, firm, consist ent government that shall represent in a way, adapted to its years, the conditions under' which so:ne day It TIl have to shift for itself. In a and to be kert in ignorance of many things. It is a difficult rizht to atain in these days. especi,.' aiter a child has learned to read. But I question whether ou d (o not learn more of the dark and sinister facts of life fror." ou:' own.1 careless conversation tha .-'m v:: they read. And I sea': no oulC)of con ve:-sation rela-ing to o' latand V_~?' criticisn, of ordinary , of dis t-usz of us, I fear, are in no position Lc complain of the newspaprs nor ever of the unwhoCle3om books fron: which our children learn so man3 things they might better never know. If only this right of our children to be spared for a time the dis closure of certain aspects of lifc were more clearly recognized and at the same time the safe-guarding of their innoCence more carefully distinguished fron the foolish with holding of necessary knowledge! Let me say with all deliberation that it should be counted as one of the most sacred of the obligations of parents to give to their children, or to provide for them, that physi ological instruction, the withholding of which, entirely or too long through our utterly false sense of propriety, has been for many gener ations, and is to-day, one of the chief causes of human sin and wretched ness. The right of children to be taught has never been so fully recognized as it is in our day. It is felt to be a wrong and a disgrace if one child is left without a seat in a school, or kept out of it. There never were so many people interested in education al methods and institutions. There never was such a widespread appre ciation of the value of education. There never was better-teaching nor more of it. But the right to be taught de mands more than the privilege of going to school. No school can re lieve parents from their responsibili ty for their children. If shortcom ings in their own education cut then off from giving the kind of asistance they would like best to give, they can give that which is, after all, most valuable, the hell) and inspir ation of loving appreciation, of sym pathetic interest. In the religious instruction of children there can be no substitute for father and mother. Sacred his tory and religious truth may be taught by others. Relationships with others may be established which will greatly promote spiritual life. But nothing can take the place of a religious parentage and of par ental instruction, in the religious de velopment of a human life. The fundamental truth of our religion is the Fatherhood of God. The only natural medium for the realization of that truth is a godly parentage. We concede the right of every child to be well born. Is it too much to say that every child has a right to be born of religious parents? What is this but saying that no parents are in a position to do the best that might be done for their children un less they are truly religious persons, unless they know God and serve Him and represent His Fatherhood to their children? Among the rights of a child wiche should be considered in connection with the right to be taught, and bearin'g particularly upon his relig ious training, are the rights of childhood's faith. HcTw simple it is! How ready to conceive what we teach! In childhood, faith has its golden opportunity to establish it self for all life's pilgrimage. We have no right to discourage a child's faith. It is w.icked to make light of it to ridicule it, to embarrass it in any way. But we have no right, on the other hand, to impose upon it, to tri~o with it, to burden it. It is the supreme right of children under the royal charter of their Christ to come to Him. Their faith and their spirit are exactly what He wants. "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not. for of such is the kingdom of God." I believe that the threshold of life is meant to be the threshold of the kingdom and that our children have a right to receive the sign and the seal of their citizenship in holy hap tisn'. And can it be that the Lord Jesus Christ will deny them a place at His table when they come to un derstand what it means to sit dowvn with Him there, and desire to come? "Forbid them not! Forbid them not; For of such is the king dom!" ---- Jie Was thre Other Fe~iou..

Each has a wide field before it.' In many regions it is probable that a combination of irrigation and dry farming methods will be found desir gble. By an economical use of the vater stored in reservoirs, in accord nce with dry-farming prinlciples, and by conserving the rains and snows hat fall in the soil as taught by the dvocates of dry-farming and draw ng upon the irrigating ditches only o supply the deficiency, it is possible hat irrigation reservoirs may be able o supply double or treble the acre ge they can serve by the present asteful methods, and that great tretaes of territory in which the aima: is too small to allow the suc essful application of dry-farming ethods alone may be covered with aving grain fields-From John . owans D:y-Farming-th.'

SubJect: Tu 1Paa-le of the Two Sor. Lnke xv.. 11-3 -GOlden Tr_1.t. Mat. iii., 7--Memory 1-ersts. 17, IS. T. Leaving home (vs. 11-13). 11. "A certain man." The simple, :in pretentious beg.aning of the most beaniilul of ali parablEs. The m:an is here the image of God the Father. "T-xo sons." The two sons may be said to be representatives of man kind, for we have in them examlpies of two great phases of alienation from God-the elder is blinded by self-righteousness, the younger de graded by his unrighteousness. 12. "The younger." Be represents open ly wicked persons, such as the pub licans and sinners. He also repre sents the thoughtless, careless youth. 13. "Not many days." He had decided upon his course and hast ened to be gone. This shadows forth the rapidity (1) of national and (2) individual degeneracy. "Gathered all together." Sinners who go astray from God venture their all. "Took his journey." He was weary of his fathe:"s government and desired greater liberty. The 'ourney the prodigal took represents the sinner in his departure from God. He went into a "far country," far from truth. II. In deep distress (vs. 14-16). 14. "Spent all." He did not stop until his last dollar was gone. "A mighty famine." The soul living at a distance from God, and shut out from intercourse with Him, will very soon feel its utter emotiness. A mighty famine will follow. "In want." Real want is soul want. 15. "Joined himself to a citizen." The same wiched life that before was represented by ri:oto-s living is here represented by servile living, for sin ners are perfcct slaves. The devil is the citizen of that country; he is both in city and country. "To feed swine." This was doubly degrading, and especially so to a Jew. 16. "With the husks." The husks were not the :ods of some other fruit, but "the fruitof the carob-tree, used for feeding swine." ie was driven to the extremity of trying to satisfy his hunger wit' the food that was fit only for swine. So sinners endeavor to satisfy the soul with earthly and sensual delights. III. The decision to return home (vs. 17-19). 17. "He came to himself." Sin dethrones the reason. A state of sin is a state of folly and madness, but the madness is in the heart (Eccl. 9:3). "Bread enough and to spare." The lowest in my father's house has bread to givo to the poor. God's people are abundantly supplied with good things. "I perish." Sinners will not come to Christ until they see themselves ready to perish. 18. "I will arise." He had left home of his own free will, and he must return in the same way. God compels no one to do right. "And go." Follow ing the decision there must be an ef fort put forth. In returning to God there is something to do. "I have sinned." The first thing to do is to make a full confession of our sins (1 John 1:9; Job 33:27, 28). "Against heavcn." Against God. Every sin is a sin against God. 19. "No more worthy." He is ready to humble himself. He knows that in justice his father could shut the door against him; he pleads for mercy. IV. The return and the welcome (vs. 20-24). 20. "He arose." He immediately did all of these things that he had decided upon. "Great way off." HeI was coming slowly, in rags, in dis grace, questioning at~out his wel come. "Father saw him." The father was ever watching for his re turn. So God knows when we start toward Him. "And ran," etc. This represents the readiness with which God receives returning sinners. 21. "The son said." He maktes his con fession; he abases himself. 22. "But the father." The fath er did not wait until he had finished his confession. , In this we see the great affection of the father and his willingness to forgive. "Said to his servants." The father's joy is full and he instantly issues orders tc celebrate his return. "Bring forth quickly." (R. V.)-Let us show at once by our actions that the wander er is fully forgiven and reinstated. "Put a ring on his hand." A sign of affection. 23. "Be merry." Be joyful and happy. The Bible gives the children of God license to shout for joy. 24. "WVas dead." Lost to all good, given up to all evil. "Is alive again." Here was special cause for rejoicing. Who would not be a partaker of this joy? V. The eider brother (vs. 25-32). 2S. "He was angry." Our Lord now holds up to the mu-murine Pharisees a likeness of themselves. As the elder brother is angr'y at the joy which welcomes the prodigal home from his wvanderings, so have these men murmured at the mercy with which Jesus has received the publican and the sinner. "Intreated him." As Jesus was then entreating the captious Pharisees not to spurn t~e repenting outcasts. 211, 30. In these verses Jesus gives, in parable, the substance of the Pharisaic mur murings: We are better than others and should have great resoect and deference paid us; but you have left is and interested yourself in these publicans and sinners. 31. "All thine." All is within thy reach. If you do not enjoy my bounty it is he cause you will not. Notice that the parable leaves the elder brother on the outside, stubbor'nly refusing to :nxter. Got Rid of AM! White Stuff. An incident illustrative of the grim determination of the Japanese oc curred when the fleet prepared for action before the Battle of the Japan Sea. While the ships awaited the Rus sians a search was made through every Japanese vessel, large or small, for every white piece or stuff which could possibly be utilized as a white flag. Table cloths, sheets, dish cloths, the officers' snirts, even their collars and cuffs, were collected and thrown into the sea. Not a single piece of white stuff was left which, could he hoisted in token of surren der. The ship on which my infor mant served, writes a correspondent quot.ed in the London Globe, took a Russian ship flying a whait flag. which turned out to be a table cloth thrwn over'boar'd by the Japs.

Matt 13: 10-17; Ps. 119. 97-104. In His use of parables, as in all lse, our Lord set us -an example, to e followed when we are in like cir umstances. Christ's parables seem simple be ause they are so profound; only the houghtless will attempt to under stand them without long thought. The parables are truth dramatized, nd not to be understood until we act hem out. The great parable for non-Christ as is that of the prodigal son. It eaches that no one is too bad to go o the Father, and that the Father, ill go to meet him. The great parable for Christians is he parable of the sower. Are our ives bringing forth the hundred' old? The great parable for the church s that of the tares. Is the wheat rowding cut the weeds and trans' orming them to wheat? The parable of the pearl is the arable for our Lts' days. lest we bould forget our chief business, which is "our Father's business." The parable of the growing seed Is the story for our times of discour gement, when we forget that seeds ust have their hidden time, when the farmer's work seems altogether lost. The parable of the wicked husband' en is a warning for church-mem bers, lest they forget that they are not the owners of their blessings, but only their stewards. The parable of the mustard seed s the story for the insignificant, ho need to learn that everything ecomes of infinite significance as soon as it is given tot God. The parable of the vineyard labor r is the statement of God's sover eignty, that He will do what He will with His own, and that what He does s right. The parable of the two foundations Is the story for the young, that they ay not have to begin their lives all over again some day. The parable of the ten virgins Is o teach preparedness. There is no happy life that is not ready for a apy death. The parable of the talents is the parable of the over-modest: for th~ nediocre faithful man received as high praise as the faithful man who was a gemius. The parable of Lazarus is the story for the rich and the poor,-a warn ing, a comfort. HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

After drink ing it with my meals, I would leave the table, go out and lose my meal and the coffee, too. Then I'd be as hungry as ever.

"I changed from coffee to Postumn without any trouble whatever, felt better from the first day I drank it. I am well now and give the credit to Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
