Who is My
Neighbor ?
By REV. ED. F. COOK, D. D.
Director Missionary Course,Moody Bible
Iastitutc, "bicago
TEXT-Who is my neighbor?-Luke 10:
?. Read Luke 10:25-27.
In the parable of the Good Samari
tan, Jesus is Clearly undertaking to
show the univer
sal obligation of
Christian serv
ice. The question
to whom this ob
ligation is due
and the measure
of the obligation
confronts many
an honest in
quirer. It is in
teresting to dis
cover the meaning
of the master's
answer to the
young man's ques
tion. He seems
to say that my
neighbor is the
. mau iu ueed, the mau itt need of what
I have to give, and whose need arises 1
and Is made knowu to me at a time
w?en I am able to give it. If this be ;
true, how amazing and wonderful has
become the world neighborhood, and
how clearly is the Christian's duty to
*jnafce Christ known emphasized by the
universality of human suffering. Like
the man on the way to Jericho, na
tions lie stricken, bleeding, hungry and
ready to die. I
Over against this appalling fact, the
?be of which the Christian never
laced before in all the history of the
world, stands Christ, God's only an- '
?wer to human need. We of America j
know him. We have him enthroned in
many an earnest heart. We have
throughout the land the open Bible, !
?od's word spoken to sinful and suffer
ing man everywhere and in all ages,
words of love, words of hope and
words of comfort. How mightily it be- ;
hooves us in this time of world tragedy
and suffering ro study the parable of
the Good Samaritan and to search our
.wp hearts to know whether or uot
we as individuals are rendering that :
Ministry to the suffering which human
need requires, and our knowledge of
human suffering and our ability to al- :
leviate it insistently requires.
' What a reproach that in the mas- j
toir's parable the representatives of re
ligion-the servants of tfce Temple of
?od-passed by the sufferer. Each
knew of the case of human need. Each
looked upon the orn and bleeding
form. Each possessed the resources j
from which to help. Yet each turned
away passing on the other side, delib
.rately walking away from this revela
tion of suffering and nee l, deaf to this
.ry. So proud, so self-righteous, sq ex-;
elusive, were these servants of religion,
and so devoted were they lo the forms
and ceremonies of their service, and so
filled with the thought of their own
importance, that there seemed to be
no place in either heart for the milk
of human kindness. Will we ever auain
permit this reproach to be laid at the
.door uf the representatives of religion?
(Gan it be possible that those who pro
fess to be followers of Jesus Christ,
and who are the exponents and advo-,
cates of the Christian religion, shall
fail' to exemplify thal high and holy
love wherewith thejnnster loved men? ,
Shall we forget in tho days to come'
that the master himself in answer to
the doubl of John the forerunner an
nounced as the evidence ot his divinity
and ga vt- as thc proof of his adequate
ministry to mon. thar "the blind re- '
ceive their sight, and the lame walk,
the lepers aro cleansed, and the deaf
hear, and the dond nro raised up, and
the poor have good tidings preached to
them." j
Shall we not, as wp journey toward
tac day of world peace, In our comfort
of circumstances, In our amplitude of
resources, think of the peoples who
have fallen by the way? Will not Bel
gium and France and Roumanla and
Armenia and great, old, riven, torn ?ind
demoralized Russia, draw out of the
Christian heart of America the min
istry of healing, the ministry of
'.money, the ministry of a ('bristly ,
?ove? Surely the great lessons of self
denial and self-sacrifice which we are
learning as a people In this great war
.'will in God's good providence prepare
us.for that new neighborhood created
by the universality of suffering and
, the heart hunger of the world. May
.j8od in his providence preserve thc
Joith and love of our people and pro-1
fie?t our resources in men and money, !
.#oi a world-wide campaign of evangel- ?
?Inn. after the war, and above all pre-1
?e?ve ia the heart of our nation that.
yeality of spiritual experience that
will make our world ministry as beau
tiful and effective as was that of the;
humid* mau of Samaria, who helped
his brother in need, when that need
wa? discovered and the humble trnv-j
.fer had the means at his hand to rea |
.(ev the succor which human suffering
??Med forth.

KEEP HOUSE LOOKING RIGHT
Liberal Use of Paint ls True Economy
--Means Higher Rent and
Greater Value.
The best way to sell a house is to
paint it first.
You can pet higher rent for a house
by painting it.
Tlie banker will lend more money on
a well-painted house.
These are suggestions made in con
nection with a clean-up-paint-up cam
paign that have arrested a great deal
of attention.
A prominent banker said:
"Of course, it is easier to get a loan
on a well-paiuted house. This is not
merely because the house is in better
repair and holding its value, but be
cause tlie very fact that a man takes
good care of his property is proof to
us that he is not shiftless, that he is
provident and that we have a reason
ably certain prospect of getting the
loan paid back.
"A well-paiuted house carries Its
own recommendation, even as a man |
who is careful about the neatness of :
his appearance makes a much more ,
favorable impression than one who is j
careless."
When nature takes on a new dress, i
why not be in hurmony? is a sugges- ,
tion for "cleau-up-paint-up" that '
carries an appeal to most folka. It is
also pointed out that woodwork kiln- \
dried by furnace fire, in spring is actu- 1
ally parching and famishing for re
freshing paint. I
Again the suggestion la made that
when tlie east winds are high it is
dangerous not to have your windows
carefully puttied.
EASY TO HAVE ATMOSPHERE
Matter That Should Have Careful
Thought When One ls Corrtenv j
plating Building a Home.
Many factors enter Into the work of
building a home that are not con
cerned, simply, with the work of de
signing or the mechanical processes
that go into the building of the house,
and we soon discover and realize that
the designing and building of a house
Is, after ail, but the first preliminary
step in the establishment of a home.
The house ls important, of course, and
if ir is not just as lt ought to be in
every particular, the operation will be
a complete failure.
And it is of special importance be
fore you build, that you know just
what you want your house to suggest
in the way of newness or old-fash
ionedncss or an atmosphere of historic
association, and you should also know
how the result you wish eau be se
cured.
Your house need not be old to pos
sess what seems to be au atmosphere
redolent with memories of the good
old days, and if you will but choose
your architect with proper care, he
will know how to give to your new
home that atmosphere which one well
known designer of colonial houses
Joy Wheeler Dow-calls the dramatic
quality in architecture. - Hawson

Ornamental Lamp Posts.
There is no feature of municipal
equipment that adds more to the at
tractiveness of a elly's appearance
than do ornamental street lamp posts
of artistic and appropriate design. Just
ii s the effectiveness of interior decora
tions and furnishings depend in a
large measure upon lighting fixtures,
so the beauty of the street can be en
hanced or marred by Its lights. In
each case a satisfactory solution of
the lighting problem consists not only
In supplying sufficient illumination but
also in providing lichtlng equipment
that harmonizes with its surroundings
and possesses n beauty of its own.
The old-time lamp post in vogue be
fore the days of electricity fulfilled
the second of these conditions but not
the first: for, although the post Itself
was often a work of art. its feeble oil
or gas flame seldom was equal to the
task of Illuminating the street. On !
the other hand, the modern overhead '
arc lamp gives a fairly satisfactory
light, but the unsightly poles, ropes,
wires and other equipment for raising,
and lowering the lamp can scarcely be i
called beautiful. Now comes the oma-,
mental street lamp post, which com-1
bines the beauty of one of its prede-j
cessors and the utility of the other.

Panoramic Object Lesson.
Two and a half miles of corridors
In the state, war and navy building
at Washington are a panoramic objeet
lesson in the use of tinted walls to re
flect the light.
This ls a really economic experiment
that has been proved a great saving In
the cost of lighting. The Ught-refleet
ing values of tho various tints of paints
are now understood by the skillful
pc Inter.
Many industrial establishments,
schools, hospitals and office buildings
!n the capital hav? reduced their light
ing costs to a marked extent through
application of the proper types and
tims of interior paints. By making the
Interiors brighter they have saved a
number of accidents and have contrib
uted to a more cheerful feeling among
?he occupants.
RIGHT WEIGHT OF CHICKENS
Make Selection in Fall of Well-Devel
oped Pullets to Make Up
Winter Laying Flock.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Observations on tho growth of chick
ens at the government poultry farm at
Beltsville, Md., showed that pullets of
average size of the varieties kept there
reached their adult weights as in the
following table:
Average Age at which
Breod and weight at weight waa
Variety. maturity made
pounds weeks
White Plymouth Rock..6.07 2S
White Wyandotte .5.17 26
Rhode Island Red.4.4S 26
White Leghorn .3.11 26
Pullets of these breeds and those of
corresponding type and weight that
reach the weights given In the table
or are very near them in September
will begin laying by October if con
ditions are favorable. The two con
ditions which most commonly delay
egg production from such pullets are
change to winter quarters and short
age of feed.
TO KEEP CHICKENS AT HOWIE
If Hens Develop Tendency to Fly Over
Fence, Flight Feathers Should
Be Clipped.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A yard surrounded by a 5-foot fence
will, uuder most conditions, keep chick
ens at home. If the hens show a tend
ency to fly over such a fence, the flight
feathers of one wing should.be clipped.
A fence made of woven wire Is prefer
able to a fence made of board or other
material. A board should not he used
at the top of a wire fence as this gives
the hens a visible place to alight and
tends to teach 'them to fly over. The
larger the yard which tan be provided,
the more contented the hens will be.
It not only gives them greater oppor
tunity to exercise but ofton makes lt
possible to maintain a sod on the yard
which is advisable.
CULLING FLOCK IS FAVORED
Increased Egg Production and Reduced
Feed Bill More Than One-Half
in One Flock.
(Prepared by tho United S Lato? Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In a weekly report from one of the
government poultry extension men In
Connecticut a statement showed tho
vnluo of culling a flock which con
tained 1.403 White Leghorn hens. This
flock wa? culled July 10; S20 hens
vere marketed and 577 kept ns pro
ducers. The average daily production
for the week previous to tho culling
was 300 eggs, and the average dally
production for the week after the cull
ing was 342 eggs. In other words, the
577 hens averaged more eggs than
vere secured from the flock of 1,403,
while tin? foed bill was reduced more
than half.
Culling should be continued through
out the year. This continuous culling1
should consist >.i weeding out, when
discovered, any hen which is sick, very

thin or emaciated, which shows evi
dences of nonproductlon, weakness or
poor vitality..
The whole flock should also bc given
a careful and systematic culling at
somo one time. Tho hens should be
bundled individually and gono over
carefully with the object of dividing
them into two lots, one the better pro
ducers and tho other the poorer pro
ducers. From tho better producers it
is also desirable to pick out as many
of the best as will bo needed for breed
ers. Mark these hens so that eggs
from thom alone will be saved for
hatching. Market tboso selected as
tho poor producers. Save for laying
and breeding those seleeted as thu bet
ter producers.
DROPPING BOARDS IN HOUSE
Well to Use Them at All Times, Par
ticularly In Cold Months-Easy
to Clean Them.
It pays well to have dropping boards
in tho henhouse at all seasons of the
year, especially during the cold
mon thu when the fowls have to be con
fined. The droppings caa be easily re
moved and the entire floor space be
used fpr lifter.
