Sower Who Dares to Go Forth Unquestioning, Scattering Seeds of Truth. Among all the figures which loom out of the words of Jesus with a per manent interest for us there is none that is more significant than the sow er who went forth to sow. Across the field of imagination this toiler ever passes, never rests. With his bag upon his shoulder, his arm forever sweeping the half-circle as he walks, and the seed forever falling from his hand, he is silhout^d against the hori zon of the world. He incarnates a principal. He personifies a process. He fixes m the thought of man the way of God. Behold a sower went .forth to sow. That was his task. He did not make the soil on which hi3 seed fell. He saw the rocks, the thorns, the thin soil and the hard soil. He knew that much of his seed would never fructify. He saw the birds as they picked up the kernels after him. Perhaps he even thought the birds had a right to a share. Of course hs understood that sun and rain would try the tender plants. He also understood that the harvest was on the other side of summer. He need ed not to be told that he must walt, and that his seed must take its chances wj'h *U +he vicissitudes of seasons and weather. Believed in the Earth. But he trusted nature. Ia Spite of stories and thorns and thin soil and hard soil, he believed in the earth. He believed enough to act. He was not one of those who wait that they may serve. He took his promise from creation. Beneath the variations of the days and nights he felt the thrill of spring. He rested in the deeper processes. He had faith that all the world would change beneath the ec centricities of wind and shower and heat and light. And so he sowed. And so he went forth to sow, seeking the soil in which to cast his prophe cies of future increase. For all seed sowing is prophecy, and all seed sowers are seers who bide their time in the promises of life. If there were more prophets there. wauW Jj* more seed-sowing in. the World. And if there were more who understood the law Qt Increase as \t works every where there woura" be ifewer foolish questions asked of those who sow the seed. For those who t&roand harvest before the seed has time to sprout' and grow are spiritually near-sighfed. The noblest symbol of great faith ls one who dares to go forth unque'stion ing. scattering seeds 'rjf truth and right and peace <?h& SOVe, knowing that stones and thorns and unrespon sive soil are there, yet also knowing that the earth is the Lord's, that some how seedtime and harvest are insep arable, and that when the summer is past the reaper will surely find fields of ripening grain where he sowed his seed.-Universalist Lea-der. MESSAGE HARD TO INTERPRET Commentators Differ as to the "Wom an Jezebel" in the Third Chap ter of Revelation. As to the message to the church in Thyatira, ia the third chapter of the book of Revelation, it is an obscure and difficult, ene to interpret, since we know so little of the prevalent cus toms and heresies of that time. Com mentators differ as to the "woman Jezeb3l," some claiming that she was a heathen priestess, who stood for all manner of licentious rites and evil practices, and others that she was the leader of the Nlcolaitans, a division of the church that claimed to be none the iess Christian because lt tolerated some heathen customs, like eating meat offered to idols, offering Incense to the statue of the emperor, joining social clubs, which were numerous in those days, and which often fostered much debauchery and eyen licentious ness. Many of these clubs were con nected with the trade guilds, and on this account Thyatira, which was fa mous for these guilds, offered special temptations to the Christians Who be longed to these guilds, to f?ni?ohe, even if they did not approve, the un christian practices of many of the members. The praise accorded in the first part of the message to the church of Thy atira seems to give color to this inter pretation, for the Son of God himself says: "I know thy works, and love, and service, and faith, and that thy last works are more than the first" It is thought by many that the Nl colaitans, though their doctrines were wrong, and their complaisance toward the practices of their heathen neigh bors was most dangerous, yet were still active in good works, and per haps vied with their stricter and more Puritanical church members in acts o? benevolence and subscriptions to ail good causes so that the "last works were more than the first" Calmest People Accomplish Most To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the i heaven.-Eccl. 3:1. Tt?e people in al* lines of duty who do the most work are the calmest, most unhurried people in the com munity. Duties never wildly chase each other in their lives. One task never turns another out, nor ever compels hurried, and therefore imper fect, doing. The calm spirit works methodically, doing one thing at a time, as? doing lt well, and it there fore works swiftly, though never ap pearing to be in haste.-J. R. MiUer. 1 IS A DRIZZLING RAIN I By HOPE AINSLEE. * (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.) A soft drizzling rain was daring the roses in Constance Atwood's cheeks to come out and get wet. And the roses were fast appearing as she walked briskly through the damp cinder path in Central park. It was Saturday afternoon and Con stance had promised herself that she would finish knitting the last of her six pairs of socks for the soldier boys before the Wednesday boat should have sailed. Her small brother and sister, being prevented by the rain from playing out of doors, would de mand the attention of Sister Con stance if she were at home. There fore she decided to seek the shelter of a summer house in the park, where on a day like this shu tt'.as sure to be alone. A beautiful girl sitting alone in a summer house on a cold, drizzling day knitting socks is not an every day picture. Indeed it was such an unusual sight to Donald Grey when he came upon it that he almost stopped in his course to stare. Constance looked np casually as h? passed and her calm, level gaze met his; thea she dropped her eyes, con tinued her knitting and. the ?an strode on through tn? winding path. But the tnan's peace of mind had been disturbed. Only his deep-rootei? sense of chivalry kept him from -re tracing his steps for one more look at the lovely girl. He realized that he had only a slender chance in a thousand of seeing her again, and yet at that moment he could think of no other person whom he so desired to see again-and often. Suddenly his musings were abrupt ly interrupted by the approach of a big Irish park policeman leading a small child reluctantly by the hand. The officer had to stoop to keep a held of the tiny tot. ' "Gotta l??t kid!" he said laughing ly to Donald. Donald looked at the pretty UttV ;gtrl "Pine day for ^ Vike ;tn?J to be al.m? In the park, isn't it?" 'Vine for the pn?uY?bny! Says her ' ma's kn?ttm'' ftft? she run off," volun teered th* fco?i'ceman further. DoW?Yd "Grey paled a little. "Knit itt?k, 'did you say? * Her-her moth "Sure! Why not? Aint they all a-doin' it day an' night for Tommy Atkins and the loike o' him?" asked the officer. *J "I saw a,young woman back in the summer house-a-knitting," said ^? ald. "Where?" asked the policeman, alertly. "I'll show you-it's quicker," and Donald led the way back to the sum mer house. The little one trotted beside the big policeman and Donald, humming gayly. She seemed not tn care who her protectors were, so long as she was having a little excitement. Don ald could see that much in the tot'? eyes. When she saw the trio approaching Constance stopped knitting and stared. But Donald could see at a glance that she had not lost any body's baby. She looked from one to the other as the three drew close. "Askin' yer pardon, lady, but did ye lose this kid?" asked the police man. Constance laughed. She shook her head. "No, indeed, I didn't Is the poor baby lost?" "She sure is-says her ma's a-knit tln' and she run away-" . "Ma's doin' that," said the child gaylyj pointing to Constance and her "knitting. "Is she, dear?" asked Constance and Donald realized that she had the voice, too, of his ideal. "And where did you leave your mamma?" The child made a vague gesture. "Over home with lots o' ladies all knittin? and-'? The policeman took the child again by the hand. 'Come on, kid, you'll catch cold out here. I'll find her ma all right. Much obliged." And the big policeman and the little one walked off in the drizzling rain. Donald Grey raised his hat Tm sorry-" "Oh, it was quite natural? Pm Sure. Don't apologize. I only hope they find the baby's mother soon. Tt's not a day for little ones to be Wit!* The girl's tone dismissed him and Donald strode on. This tim? he felt desperate. If h? had wanted tb know her after a single glance at "her, he longed more than ever now that he had seen her smile, and heard her speak, had stood before her. He would have felt utterly hope less if he had not been a firrh be liever in the good Presbyterianism that everything that happens is for the best. If this was the way he was to meet her, never to see her again, why-that was all. If she were meant 'for him-and with his youthful, hope ful outlook on life,, he believed sjie was-he would find her somewhere. For nearly two years he sought her, and then, at a benefit dance given to aid the widows and children of soldiers who had fallen in the war, he was presented to her by a patroness of the evening. "At last, Miss Atwood," he said. And although the girl only smiled, he had the satisfaction of seeing in her eyes a glad look, as if she, too, had been hoping. "And if it is fate," he said to himself, in a flash, "of course, she has been hoping, too." \ y Hon. F. H. McMaster.

The hurry, hard work, noise and strain all teil on us and tend to provoke nervousness and irritability.. We are frequently so worn out we can neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. We are out of line with ourselves and others as well. A good thing to do under such circumstances is to take something like . Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills to relieve the strain on the nerves. Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, 82 Plum St., Atlanta Ga., writes : "I have on several occasions been vastly rc!ioved by the use of your med icines, especially the Ami-Pain Piiis, which I keep constantly on li.? nd for the use of myself, hu^hnnd and two sons. Nothing in the world equals them as a headache remedy. Often I am enabled by the use of one or two of the Pills to continue my housework when otherwise I would bc In bed. My husband juins me In my praise of th? Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine." Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are relied upon to relieve pain, nervousness and irritability in thou sands of households. Of proven merit after twenty years' use, you can have no reason for being longer without them. 11 At ali Druggists, 25 doses 25 cant?. MILES MED.'CAL CO., Elkhart, In?. Mrs, Jay McGee, o?
