"When yoo, ueN ?oId| away," Qltasbeth
retorted, "tart It about tlmb tor
ooe- of your trips?"
'Tea." Carltoo answered, 1 ought
to ba la. New York this week." >
He frowned; It waa diplomacy to
pretend these business tripe a bore
and a bother. Otherwise, thib two elderly
and dominating sisters who were
his housekeepers and companions,
would feel themselves cheated of the
participation of a pleasure.
E As a tuatter of fact, Carlton Saunders,
'in the prosy regime of his small
town home, looked forward to these
escapes Into an outer world with secret
anticipation and enjoyment.
uuzaoetn ana tvatnerine were good
sisters, annoylngly anxious concerning
his welfare.
J. Carlton appreciated their solicitude,
while he fretted under the constant
surveillance. Thete were those
who Insisted that the kindly man
might long ago have rejoiced in a
houie of his own with a wife to share
It, had it not been for Elizabeth's and
Katherlne's rule. But the brother in
his heart refuted this.
Were his sisters not bringing before
him constantly possible applicants for
matrimony?
"Yes," he answered Elizabeth again,
'1 must be In New York this week."
"We will pack your valise," {Catherine
said, "and don't forget to wear your
rubbers."
But when he walked Into the New
fork hotel a few days later, he had
left, unconsciously, his habitual dlflllence
at home. His name on the regis:er
was signed merely Jack Saunders.
The clerk bowed In greeting.
"Can't give you your usual room,"
is explained apologetically, "we aie
llled up."
The room the bellboy ushered him
nto was comfortable enough. But as
le turned to place coat and hat on the
mnger, J. Saunders stared; a filmy
due cloud of something had forestalled
llin there. While oil about the small
*oom was the Indefinable fragrance of
that mystical romance, which he had
nlssed. Lilac, or Illy of the valley or
ust sweet springtime?what was the
illudlng odor which enchanted his
lenses?
A tap on the door. Carlton turned
pilltlly. -A woman's face wus raised
;o his?her eyes were as blue as the
limy cloud on the hanger, but they
were not the eyes of a young girl?nor
ret the calm gazing eyes that Elleibetb
would have recommended.
"1 am afruld I left some of my belongings
In this room," the sweetraced
woman said. "I had decided to
occupy It when the clerk discovered
hat the one I prefer w'ns vacated.
So they carried my grip In there. 1
un sorry?" she paused, and then at
lis bow of permission, guthered up
ler apparel and went on her wny.
Sut the breath of springtime remained.
When J. Carlton went into the dlulng
nail at evening, he saw the young wornin
seated alone at a secluded tuhle.
He liked" the plainness of her blue
serge dress, which was such a different
plainness from Jullu Well's, or his sister's;
and he liked the piquant hat
that she becomingly wore. As he
lassed down the corridor to his room,
t gave lilm an unaccountable feeling
if relief, to hear the woman nt the
mil desk address the lady of the blue
lovjd as "Miss Darby." Miss, then
ihe was not married. He speculated
tbout her, as he bent over his writing,
rhe usually matter-of-fact John Carlton
could not write; he could not take
Hold of his work; he decided to retire.
And there on the floor at his feet, lay
a pair of small blue slippers, quilted
?atln slippers with ridiculous fluffy
pompons upon either toe. So, she had
forgotten these. They were the sort
of slippers a Cinderella of past dreamng
might have chosen?to slip on in
the firelight. The following morning
He sank into a chair In an ad(olnlug
"coffee bouse" and opened
tils paper. Springtime floated provocatively
around him, lilac and llly-oftbe-valley
springtime. Two very blue
?yes smiled over a coffee cup, oppolite.
"Good morning," greeted the lady of
he blue cloud, "tnauk you for return
ng my slippers."
"I travel," she told blm upon their
third chance breakfast together, "for
i linen company. Imported linens.
?y knowledge in that line was my
>ne chance- for self-support after my
father died. It's a good business, but
t leaves me homeless. That's?the
Ipoa'honlf "
"I have a home?** Carlton said
musingly, "an old place, with bushea
around It."
"Not," asked the woman eagerly,
'not lilac bushes?"
Carlton nodded.
"How I would love It," she exMaimed.
"I am old,", he answered her Irrelerantly.
"I was mourning over my
bald head this morning."
"So much?" asked the lady oppollte.
"that you quite missed the clear
foxith of your eyes?"
When Elizabeth and Katherlne redelved
a telegram some days later, they
itsred at each other In speechless
amazement. ' ,
"Married," rea^l the brief message
Trom their brother, "bringing my wife
home with me."

?Our Ministry of Comfort and Halp.
1. Tha 8hunammita'a Hospitality to
tilish* (vv. 8-11). ' *
1. Its occasion ( . 8). wealthy
woman of Shunem. observing that
Ellsha passed continually by her house
In his Journeys, was moved with com-.
passion toward bits. She determined
according to her ability to supply his
needs.
2. Its nature (vv. 8-11). "She
constrained him to eat bread" (vv. 8r
0). As a result of Iter earnest
treaty, as often as he passed by her
house he turned In to eat bread. She
received a prophet In the name of a
prophet.
II. Elisha Endeavors to Repay. Her
Kindness (vv. 12-17). S
1. He offers to ask a favor from the
king or bead of the army (v. 13). This
offer implies that Ellsha had Influence
at the royul court. The woman's rejffy
shows her truly to be a great
woman. She did not desire to change
the calm and quiet of her home for a
place even In the royal court. Her
answer also shows that her motive
In extending generosity to the prophet*
was entirely unselfish, purely because
he was God's prophet.
2. Ellsha announces the giving of
a son to her (vv. 16, 17). Through
Inquiry of Gehnzl it was discovered
that this woman was childless. So
the prophet made known to her that
In about a yeur from that time she
should experience the Joy of a mother.
III. The Coming of 8orrow to the
Shunammite's Home (vv. 18-21).
The child which brought joy to
her homo was suddenly taken away.
How many homes are like this! Scarcely
do we begin to enjoy life until
death enters and snatches away some
loved one. The'cause of his death was
probably sunstroke, for the heat ot
the sun at harvest time in this country
Is very Intense. When the boy complained
of his head, the father sent
him home to his mother. By noon
the child died and the itiother laid
him upon the bed of the man of
God. Faith prompted her' to do this.
She did not make preparation for
burial, but for restoration to life
(Heb. 11:35).
IV. The Mother Goes to Etisha
(vv. 22-28).
When one Is in trouble or sorrow
the best place to go Is to the man ot
God who is able to give counsel aud
comfort. Happy is the one who In the
days of prosperity and sunshine has
so related himself to Ood and Ills
prophets that he can have help and
sympathy in time c? trouble.
1. She took hold of Ellsha's feet
(v. 27). This wua .the eastern way of
enforcing a petition. She passed by
Gehazl. She would not be content with
the servant when the-master could be
reached.
2. She chided the prophet ( . 28).
"Did I desire a son?" This implies
that it would have been better not to
have had a child thun to' have lost
him ho soon.
V. The Child Restored (vv.. 20-37).
1. Gehazl's fruitless errand (vv. 2981).
He hurried away and placed the
prophet's staff upon the child's face,
but it did not revive. Perhaps the
fault lay In Qehazl?his lack of faith.
The woman seemed to perceive his
lack; she would not trust him. She
would not go until Ellsha was willing
to go along. This fruitless errand
of Gehazi shows the worthlessness of
the forms of religion when used by
those who have no faith in them.
2. Ellsha's efficient service (vv. 8287).
He went to the bouse where
the dead child wai. (1) lie prayed
(v. S3). He knew that no one but God
could help, so he closed the door,
shutting all others out. Our service
10 men should be preceded by prayer.
(2) He stretched himself upon the
child (v. 34). He brought his warm
body Into touch with the cold body
of the child. God blesses and saves
through the warm touch of those who
re in touch with Him. After we pray
we should get Into actual touch with
those dead In trespasses and sin. God's
method of saving the world is through
the ministry of saved men and
women.
A Daily Prayer.
Keep hack thy servant also from presumptuous
sins; let them not have dominion
over me; then shall I be upright.
and I shall be Innocent from the
great transgression. Let the words of
my mouth, and the meditation of my
heart be acceptable in thy sight, O
Lord, my strength, and my Redeemer.
?Psalm 19:13-14.
Wickedness As a Fire.
Wickedness burneth as a Are; it
shall devour the briers and thorns.?*
Isaiah, 9:18.
The henuty specialist Is satl9Aed
with a fair profit.
Even If a woman's husband Is feather-brained
she doesn't make light of
It?to other women.
Successfnl men may tell unsuccessful
ones how to succeed, but they
cant watch them closely enough.
Quite likely, there will always be
a number of men who are so little machinery-minded
