ROBERT R HARPER ♦ * Two Brothers Lear* Tolerance. ' Lesson for May S: Mark 3:14-17; ! Luke 9:49-56; I John 4:7. U. 1 Memory Selection: I John 4:21. The first New Testament pas- . sage on the lesson text tells of ' the choosing of the twelve, two of whom were to learn tolerance • in their association with Jesus and the disciples. They were James and John. In the firsk instance of intol- r erance, John told Jesus that he ' had forbidden a man to cast out « devils in Christ’s name. We have no? the slightest idea who the ' man was. Doubtless the most of . us would agree with John 'and the others—would want to stop such a man now. But Jesus said, ’ “Forbid him not; for he that is . not against you is for you.” The • statement is an eminently prac- » tKal conclusion. Later, as Jesus turned his face 'steadfastly toward Jerusalem, ’ he sent messengers before him • and they entered into a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Jesus. But the villagers would 1 not receive Jesus because he was ’ going to Jerusalem. This refusal ; to receive Jesus outraged James • and John and they asked Jesus ' if they should call down fire from ’ heaven upon the offenders. And ; JesMs roundly rebuked the two l disciples for proposing such ter- 4 rible action. Certainly one of the two broth- i ers had learned the lesson of love j when he wrote the last two . verses of the lesson text. Be tween the time when he wanted \ to call down fire from heaven upon the Samaritans and the ! time he wrote, his brother had suffered martyrdom and he had ; grown into old age. I AN D HOME Do your floors need a change this spring? Often a floor that looks dismal and worn is only in need of a coat or two of paint, or a fresh stain. Often, too, a change from a painted floor to a stained floor, or just the other way round,, will give, a room that much-desired lift. By putting the floors in good condition you may find that you can have a worn room-size rug or a wall-to-wall car pet made over. This may solve the carpet prob lem until floor- coverings are plentiful. With a good-looking floor scatter rugs will look more attractive too. If you want to paint over a stained surface, sand down to the original wood and dust thor oughly. Coat any sappy streaks or knots in the floor boards with thin shellac. This will prevent pitch from bleeding through the final finish. Now you’re ready for the paint job. Apply an enamel undercoat and let it dry completely. Give it plenty of time because this first coat is going to determine the durability of the work. When perfectly dry sand lightly and dust again. Then put on the final coat of floor enamel. A light coat of wax on the places that get hard wear and are left uncovered will protect the finish. A floor painted with a good floor enamel is easy to take care of and should withstand ordi nary wear without chipping. The change from a painted floor to a stained one is a longer process. The old coats of paint must be removed with a good paint remover. Apply this ac cording to the manufacturer’s instructions. When paint is thor oughly softened remove with a scraper or burlap. Several coats of paint remover may be neces sary to remove the old paint job completely. After paint is en tirely removed wash floor with a cloth soaked in turpentine to re move any wax residue. Be sura to keep the room well ventilated while using turpentine. Let tha floor dry after this turpentine bath with the windows open. Noth apply the stain in the shade you want, carefully following th« manufacturer’s directions.
