J. Phillips <> : V J' j (Copyright, 1S12, by Associated Literary Press.) "What can I do for you, ma'am?" John Wilkle, editor of the Trenton Twice-a-Week Tidings, left the typewriter where he was hammering out an editorial, and approached the high counter. John wr.s undoubtedly homely, with a knobby, angular frame, and untidy ha r. He wore I ?iooMt ntirf ? whi e shirt that al liJJVrI\ OOVW ? | ways had a smear of printer's ink , Bomewhere about it. "You might put roe to work," answered the visitor w^th a smile, as she drew off her gloves. I am E. L?. Kimball." j "You are? I thought E. L. Kimball was a man." E. L. Kimball shook her head. "Your ad. did not specify; you simply asked for a typesetting machine operator. But if I'm not satisfactory?" "Oh, you are," Johi assured her. "If you can run the 'hlng, that's all I care about." Inwardly, however, be was in a panic. The prospect of having a pretty young woman around the place was a disquieting one. John, despite his downright manner and bis matter-of, fact appearance, was very bashful. E. 1^ Kimball ? he discovered presently the "E" stood for Edltb? fitted in perfectly. She not only turned out an incredible amount of work on the machine, but picked up news, and kept a supervisory eye on the "devil," an ink-spattered' youth, whose idea of tid>rog was very elementary. In three months John was wondering what he ever did without her. Ono day he stared out at the street and faced a startling fact: He whb in love with Miss Kimball! It rose liko a mountain peak above the level plain of his existence, detached from its drab surroundings. In no sense was It part of them. He could not see how it would ever become a part of them. He waB, he cdn| didly admitted, an alarmingly homely , man. Binnsley, the bank clerk, and Tom Roper, the grocer, who had al I J John Turned Deathly Pale. feady paid Miss Kimball some attention, were away above his class when j it came to personal appearnce. So musing, he attacked his morn' ing mail. The second envelope which he slit open contained an appeal for help from a country youth whose "girl" had discarded him for a better-favored rival. The other young man, said the writer plaintively, had taken her to the last two j church "soshuls;" they frequently went "bugy-rldln'" together, and they "giggled" when they passed him. He signed himself "Hartbroke.i," and wanted to know what he should do about it. Smiling grimly, John adjusted a sheet o: copy pai>er in the typewriter, and wrote one of those biting, quizzical paragraphs which was giving the "Tidings" a reputation throughout the state. He reflected complacently there would be others "giggling" at "Hartbroken" and his plight. Then he 6ent the letter marked, "Don't change," and his comment, up the copy-chute to Miss Kimball. When the next proof came down for correction, John blinked behind his glasses. "Hartbroken's" letter had been altered as to language, spelling and punctuation; and the editor's flippant comment had not been set. Instead, there were a few words of kindly, sympathetic advice. Poor "Hartbroken" was transformed from a gawk to be laughed at to a shy youth who suffered. At the bottom of the proof the operator had added a sentence of her own. "He appealed to you for advice; it won't be right to make him a laughing-stock." Wilkie rumpled his hair thoughtfully, corrected the proof, and wrote "O. K* J. \\\," below Miss Kimball's note. Then he smiled sheepishly, sent Scorned All Aviator Refuses to Go to a Hospital, and Really There Was No Necessity for It. Joe Stevenson, aviator, never will go to a hospital so long as he has strength left to leap out of a stretcher, he said the other day as he jumped out of one after a serious fall with his Olpiane in Nassau diiukvaru. ne uibcovered after he began his flight that 1 his engine was working badly, but his power stopped and he had to volplane. ! His machine slid down more quickly I than he expected, so that instead of clearing a wire fence he crashed against it. His biplane was smashed badly and Stevenson was thrown out on his head. Dr. Degrassen Held came in an ambulance from Nassau hospital to take the unconscious aviator away. Stevenson revived as the stretcher was lifted from the ground. "Where am 1 going?" he asked. "To tie hospital," replied Doctor | the proof up the chute, and flapped I himself three times on the red, bony wrist. "Heartbroken" was really responsible for the "Tidings"" moat popular column. Miss Kimball evolved It, mothered it, and kept It alive. Tbe country youth's letter had evidently touched a hidden spring in Trenton, for missives from the lovelorn came in a steady trickle after that. kJohn turned them all over to the operator; he didn't want to continue slapping his own wrist. She gave tbe perplexed advice. Conniving with the foreman, she set an attractive box head, "Heart-Throbs and Things." She filled a column with the letters and her answers, with paragraphs she clipped and wrote, and with some of John's snappy editorial squibs. Launched in the "Tidings," it made an unmistakable hit. John, who had been waiting the chance, raised her salary. Winter deepened. So did John's love for Edith Kimball. He longed to take her in his arms and kiss away her capable, self-reliant air. to pet and tease and adore her out of the status of a valued employe into that of wife and comrade. Many times he started upstairs, grimly determined to take her busy, dimpled hand off the keyboard and say masterfully, "Put on your hat; we're going to be married!" An Inspiration came to him one evening as he smoked in his office after hours. He selected a rh*ap plain envelope from his stock V , samples, put on his hat and hurried to the office of Bob Sears, a young lawyer with whom he was friendly. There he cut the business card off one of Bob's letterheads and wrote (fan appeal to the "Heart-Throbs Editor." "Dear sir," he wrote, "I am a I young man of twenty-one and I cm very much In love with a young lady who workB In the same place I do. I am not at all good-looking, and there are several paving her attention that are, so I fear she does not regard me favorably. I feel that I would make her a good husband, but am afraid to ask her to marry me, i as I do not know that she cares any- j thing for me. What woulu you ad- i vise me to do?" He signed "Nathan" i and mailed the missive In the plain, typewritten envelope in a train that passed through Trenton at midnight. When It came back to him a day later decorated with foreign post- j marks and addressed to "Heart- j Throbs," he sent It guiltily up the chute without opening. Then he j fidgeted like a schoolgirl until the long, slim galley proof brought It j back in type with Edith's comment attached: "A true woman does not care for beauty In a man; don't let lack of it worry you. I Infer from your letter you are diffident, and have not shown that you care for her. Until you do, she will not cheapen herself by expressing any preference." John heaved a long sigh and * wiped his moist forehead. When the issue containing: his letter had been out two days, long enough to reach the mythical "Nathan," he wrote another letter, the gist of which was: "Would you adviBe me to put my fate to the test? How shall I ask her?" They were late that week with the second issue of the "Tidings," and Edith was working evenings to catch up. It was eight o'clock Thursday night when the answer raise down along with other "HeartThrobs" stuff: "The editor of "Heart-Throbs' refuses to propose for you. If you really care for the young woman, you will muster courage enough to ask her." John turned deathly pale; his lank jaw dropped. Suddenly the air of the ; office was stifling. He jerked off his coat and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. In two minutes he had rolled down his sleeves and put on his coat. He closed the stove, wiped his wet face with his handkerchief, and then noiselessly he opened the rear door of the office and headed for the stairway. With his foot on the first step he shivered and returned, panic-stricken, 1 to the office. He corrected the proof and sent that up. He rumpled his hair with both hands, as if trying to force a decision into his brain. That cnompH tn he effective for with des- i perate haste he seized a square of copy paper and a pencil, scrawled a single sentence and sent It flying up the chute. v He heard Edith leave her machine ; and go to the chute; the tin carrier rustled as she took the single sheet out of It. He wiped his forehead j again. There was silence. Then the machine resumed its song. He slumped into his chair. Another proof came down. He Bwept its length at a single glance. At the bottom he found what he sought, in cold, impersonal type, his sentence and her answer: "I am coming upstairs to ask you to marry me." "Well, 1 don't know how I can prevent you." John hurried to the stairs again, went up four steps at a time, and hurried the length of the room. Edith's fingers were flitting busily over the keyboard. (She still had the line she was setting at that particular moment; it's a curiosity.) Her head was bent to the copy. He dropped to one knee beside her low chair and smothered her in his arms. He kissed her again and again. "Darling." he cried, "I love you!" Her arms tightened about his neck. "I've suspected so for some time? 'Nathan!'" she whispered. Medical Aid #. ?.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JULY 21 THE GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM. LESSON TEXT?Mark 4:26-32, Matt. 13: S.\ OOLDEN TEXT?'Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, as in heaven bo on earth."?Matt. 6:10. Last week we observed the fact that the genesis of this new kingdom Jesus came to establish was to be the life, his life, when was as seed. The reception of the seed In various sorts of soil, however, made a vast difference as to the ultimate outcome. Today we may observe from these words of the Master what are to be the processes of the establishing of the kingdom, for we do not read Into this parable a record of the final con-1 sumatlon, but rather that these parables reveal different aspects of the same general process. While It Is true that this first parable Is only recorded by St. Mark It Is j in reality a complement of these para- j bleB about the kingdom found In the thirteenth of Matthew and elsewhere.; We have already noted that the seed is the word, Luke 8-11, and that the soil Is the hearts of men, but herfc i Jesus tells us that in the spiritual as In the material universe man "knoweth not how" the life principle 1 propogates Itself. It Is a helpful thought to every Christian worker that he Is not to be held accountable for that part of the process; bis part Is to be that of the man who shall cast the seed Into the ground. Not upon, but "Into." (v. 26). Having thus planted the seed let him 'sleep 1 and rise again" e. g., let him trust a wise God to see to It that the seed germinate and bring forth. All of your worrying and mine cannot hasten I the process nor change the result once < the seed Is sown, so let us be careful to sow them right and ns far as possible be sure we plant It In properly prepared soil rather than waste It among the thorns or where the blrdB of the air (Satan) may soon snatch Jt away. Process is uraauai. Again let us beware of presumptuousness "he knoweth not how." Can you, my reader, define life? Can you explain the transmission, the development, the propagation of life? We accept the results of these things In nature without questioning, why stagger at similar things In the spiritual realm? Why question the reality of the Christian life when we see all about us Its results? In verses 22 and j 23 of this same chapter we are admonished that If we have ears "let him hear" (a positive Injunction) and almost the very next word tells us to "take heed what we hear." Going ' on down to verse 28 of the lesson we see clearly the reason for these words, for our lives will grow and will reproduce each after Jts own kind. If we sow wheat we reap wheat. If we allow tares to be sown In our lives we shall reap tares. The process Is a gradual one, but a sure one. "First the blade, then the ( ear, and then the full corn In the ear." The harvest w ill not take place until the process be completed. It Is not till the fruit Is ripe that the husbandman puts forth his sickle. We are not to bother ourselves so much with the process as we are to guard the source. Sow good seed and God will sea to It that It shall bring forth. Let us not expect the "full corn" of ripe experience from the "tender blade" of early Christian life. Let us have patience till these young Christians have time to reach the full maturity of their powers. Jesus the harvester of thifi narable knew when to put In ths sickle, viz., when the fruit Is "ripe." (v. 29, R. V.) Whatever be the nature or character of this harvest we are left to In- ( fer, for Jesus gives another picture of , this same mysterious yet Irresistible i process whereby this kingdom Is to grow. He compares It with a mustard seed. The first was the Internal hidden part of the process. This Is to draw our attention to the outward visible growth of the kingdom. Jesw was humble and lowly in his com ing and in his conduct here upon earth. The Main Truth. Looking back over history his was indeed "less than all the seeds in the earth," yet he set Into motion those principles and powers that have caused his kingdom to become great in the earth (Isa. 9:7.) I'nder the branches of this kingdom have lodged ( the weary and the stricken ones. The birds of the air symbolize the gathering together of the nations of the earth that they nay take refuge under the shelter and sbadew of the kingdom of God, see Ezek. 17, Daniel 4. etc. Wc must beware of fanciful interpretations or applications. The main truth is that almost without exception the beginnings of all great movements in the kingdom of God have been like mustard seed, small but exceeding great In their growth. Witness such moral developments as the slavery question. Compare the prepent day temperance agitation with what it amounted to one hundred, yes, twenty-five year? ago. The same eon be said cf countless other "movements." For the third parable that of the leaven which a woman hid In the three measures of meal we need to refer to Paul's inspired words as recorded in 1 Cor. 5:5-7 and Gal. 5:S-9. Here Paul explicitly tells us that leaven Is a type of sin. That we who are In Christ are a new lump, unleavened. That the old leaven Is that of malice and wickedness, but that we who have put awa, leaven are the bread of sincerity and truth. What do we therefore infer? Viz., that as growing up alongside the good seed shall also grow the tares with fruitage of death and decay. We thus see three aspects of the same truth, viz, that this kingdom Is to grow, outwardly. Inwardly, and sometimes It will ha.bor corruption. How It grows we know not. That its beginnings are small we all know, but Its growth is for the sheltering and the protection of the nations Some people think there ought to be a great deal of prayer tind fasting In the church but they want somebody else to do It. There Isn't any place In God'j service for a coward. SOLACE IN HIS MISFORTUNE > Entombed Miner Had at Least One Pleasant Thought After Two Days of Suffering. Miners are among the most heroic people In the world. Danger is always beside them, and they are schooled to believe that any time they will come face to face with death. The result of this is that they are humorous In their boldness. In one of the mines of Pennsylvania there was a cave-In which imprisoned a miner named Jack Thornton. The j accident happened on Friday afternoon, and the fellow laborers of the entombed man set to work at once to dig him out.
