that, she waa on* of those poor,
dreadful girls.
She dried her eye*. She must wake
and live with herself tomorrow; as
long as she lived. Now she must
sleep. She could be honest at least
She would write and tell her father
all of It. That was part of her train
ing too; “My little girl must always
tell me everything." She would tell
him. Comforted In spite of herself by
those Imagined arms to turn to, she
slept at last.
Writing to him next night, cold
and tired, when her work (her
bleseed, grueling work) gave her
time, was a fresh agony. But a
streak of the Huguenot fanaticism
that lay deep down In Emilia, as it
did In Robin and her father, held her
to It—tile dreadful, self-accusing
words. She had to. Not to would
have been more wicked still. She
had to—and the inevitable catharsis
of confession lightened her heart a
little.
She went on with her work, out on
her circuit. From morning till night
everything waa empty and black and
far away, and yet if you thought how
you felt, in the rain-drenched jolting
hours when the Ford trucks were
taking you from camp to camp, it
suddenly turned worse, a vague ache
which was agony when touched with
the finger tip. Caforil. she sup
posed; she had never had it before.
She wouldn't hear anything from
home till she was in Paris again.
"See here." said her immediate su
perior. eyeing her with friendly, cool
understanding, “you're all in. Due
for a breakdown If you don't get
leave. You go oft to one of those
Uttle towns behind Bourbnn-le-Bain
where you won't see a soldier except
permissionalres, and stay till you’re
rested. The army needs that guitar
of yours.”
She smiled coldly. “The army
needs . . . the country needs. . . .“
It was all chilled and strange.
She still knew America was fight
ing for freedom, but she could not
make it the immediate, warm actual
ity any more. She did as he said.
When she went back to Paris, she
arranged for leave, and went. Her
father's letter came as she was leav
ing the house; she put It in her
handbag to read on the train. Her
heart nearly suffocated her; she
dared not read it now.
She dragged her suitcases down
the stairs to the taxi. She was tak
ing everything: it was hard to get
anybody to store anything. She
meant to have put back all the
money she had drawn from her let
ter accredit. Robin was dead now—

She sat apathetically In It until the

man to take her to the. station. The
train would bo gone, but it was easier
to sit and wait for another than to
go home. She sat dully In the sta
tion among the tragic groups, men
going buck to the front, women and
children saying good-bye to them.
She hadn’t said good bye at the sta

Roser’a deep love she had taken so
lightly, Roger’s kind blue eyes and
strong steadiness, Roger, who saw
life as she saw it, who would not
break under any strain! Suddenly
she wanted Roger more than she had
ever wanted anything, Roger to coma
and take care of her as ho had al
ways done. But Roger waa gone. too.
Curioualy enough, her last memory
of Manny Rosen comforted her; it
amused her faintly, sitting there, try
ing not to think of deeper and
crueler things. She could see his tall,
ungainly Lincoln figure, his swarthy’,
irregular face with its long nose and
big, sensitive mouth and tragic eyes,
his sHm-flngered hand on the edge
of the truck, and his passionate
promts*—
“I got nay gratlfude. Til pay you

cowardice, probably, before now. But

Dick!) lifted her a little from her

(The International Uniform Lesson
for October 9 on the above topic is
Oen. 50:17-21; Luke 2:40-52, 10:38-42,
the Golden Taxt being Psalm 101:2,
“I will walk within my house with a
perfect heart.”)
By DR. mm E. BELL
Home is too often the place where
folk receive the most attention and
show the least appreciation. Business
demands that we be at our best, and
we often make up for it when we
get home by showing ourselves at our
worst to those who love us best.
If one inquires as to what are the
requisites of the idal home the answer
is that the first and chief require
ment is love. This love should have
its adequate basis not only in the phy
sical relations of the home, but also
in the mental *and spiritual kinship
of those who make up the home and
family. Joseph's brethren destroyed
the happiness of tehir home by let
a perfect. Wart.—Psalm 101:2.
ting jealousy and hatred creep in and
destroy love. The happiness of theli
home was restored again through the
magnannity of Joseph in forgiving his
brethren of the wrongs they had done
him. “There’s no place like home” be
cause here more than elsewhere love
radiates comfort and kindliness to
give the home Its own jieculiar atmos
phere.
Jesus at Home
Our homes are immeasureably rich
er for that single glimpse the gospel
gives us into the humble home of the
carpenter of Nazareth which for 30
years Jesus called home. Here dwelt
not only love for one another, but
that which is even more imoprtant,
love for God and the services of God's
house. “His parents went every year
to Jerusalem at the feast of the pass
over. And when he was 12 years old
they went up after the custom of the
feast.”
Religion had' its proper place in
Jesus' home Its atmosphere was
spiritual It made provision not only
PAGE THREE
tor the physical and mental develop
ment of the child Jteofi as he grew
up in hit home, bat for his spiritual
development.
KmA mm we read of the four-fold de
velopment of the child Jesus men
tally, physically, religiously and so
cielly: ‘‘And Jesus advanced in wis
dom and stature, and In favor with
God and men.” Home should be more
than a “filling station’’ to minister
to our physical needs. It should min
ister to the development of body,
mind and spirit.
Jesus’ conduct in the home is our
pattern of loving obedience to par
ents on the part of the children of
the home. Although his wisdom and
understanding were sufficient to
amaze the religious leaders of his
riction, yet he subn.itied Imi.elf to
his humble earthly parents as he
went down with them, and came to
Nazareth. and was subject unto
them.”
At Home to
The home of Mary am' Mxrtha at
Bethany was one whore J"st.s
made himself at home. Martha how
ever. was too much engrossed in the
material preparations for Jesus' en
tertainment to really make him feel
at home with her. Martha was get
ting worrted about o:uch preparation.
All of a sudden she burst in and and
said: "Lord, don't you care that my
slater has been leaving n:e to do the
work alone? Tell he: to take hold and
help me.”
But the Lord replied to her:
"Martha. Martha, you are unxiuus
and agitated about many things. But
there is actual need of Just one dish.
Now Mary has chosen the good por
tion which indeed shall not be taken
away from her.” (Prof. A. T. Rob
ertson’s translation.) So there is a
happy proportion we 'must try no
maintain between the material and
spiritual needs of the home If Christ
is to feel at home with us.
