5° W‘ a You“: sky-snot to t man who scolded him for helping e bod woman in distress. It hep. pencd in Dawson City in tho 3g]. orful days following the m5); o; Ninety-eight. This woman had l daughter who was worse than she was, and who had run sway with another adventurer, and had left her baby on the old mother's hands. Soon the two were starv. ing, The young missionary found this out, and sent them regularly food and milk. An anytime,- hezird of It and thought that the young idealist was being im. posed upon, and he was furious. He faced him with it. The minis- ter admitted that. he tvas helping them and asked, "What about it?" The miner told him in vivid terms what the woman was, and got this rcply, “Sir, that has nothing to do with it. This woman ls in desperate need. No one else will help hcr, so it is up to me. She is bad. but that has nothing to do with it."

"Those words." the old-timer added as hc told the story. “I can ncvvr forgot. They brought me thr~ deepest lesson of my life." lviliy we add that the missionary was the big-hearted Andrew Grant.

In I John 8:16 we rcsd, ‘In this know we love that He laid down His lite for us, and we ought to lay tlown our lives for the breth- ren.“ Many men, particularly in the war did this very thing. But what about Christian love in times of peace when such hero- isms are not required?"

Thc parable of the Good Sa- maritan helps us here (Luke 10:25-37). Jew and Samaritan

hated one another in those days. and many and bitter were the quarrels between them. Yet when this Samaritan business man saw a Jew beaten up by robbers. stripped of everything he had and left for dead, he came to the res- cuc, cared for him and carried hirn to safety, and provided for ,him, asking nothing in return. This story was Christ's answer to thr- question, “Who is my neigh- bor?" The answer ts. "My neigh- bor is the one who needs help from me."

The lesson of the parable II, Whatever another needs that I can give, I owe him regardless of his race. creed, condition, or st- titudc toward myself.

Years ago Peter McArthur told the story of how Neil lVIcAlpine ot‘ Fingal, the pioneer patriot. saved the Talbot settlement when it was threatened with famine. This man farmed on a 1011891‘ "M? than his neighbors. and when prices were lo\v, he could afford in hold his grain until they ross. Ono year frost killed all the wheat in that settlement. Some time later s local grain dealer nski-d him. "You have some wheat. haven't you?" He answer- ad, “I have 3.000 bushels." Then the dealer offered him s price

that startled McAlpinc d h asked how he could afIEI-ld it; The answer was that the grain 325°3- be sold for seed to the Wit came over McAlpine what s would mean-his grain used to extort blood-money from his lfleilhbors threatened with fam- hc. and the cold sweat broke out pa him. His resolution wss soon taken. The next morning he went o church early, and standing be. “d9 the ERIE. he whispered to each pioneer as he came through, You can get seed grain at -my place-bushel for bushel. For each bushel you take at seed-time. you Wm 51'1"! me back s bushel of- ter harvest.‘ Then he sent his 8011,! with the same message to each church in the neighborhood. It is s great story-how the man of means stood st his gate hour after hour with his cane in his hand, and as each neighbor drove by with his seed, asked. ‘l-Iow- many?" and as he got the answer, brought down his cane with s wheck on the‘ bags. ssy- ing, "Remember now-bushel for bushel! For every bushel you take. you bring me back a bushel

after harvest."

This great-souled deed so im- pressed the people that for s. generation they dated events in this way, “It happened so many years before or after Nell McAl- pine saved the settlement."

The Canadian version of “The Good Samaritan" only here it was one of their own kin who saved the destitute from despair.

Opportunities multiply for such Christian service today. For ex- ample, take Mayor McCallum‘s proposal for providing homes for the aged. Modern science is lengthening the span of human life while modern business ls shortening the term of human ser- vice. Men are required to retire st an earlier age than formerly. Even where they have relatives eager to help, the housing prob- lem makes it impossible for young families to have older people with them. The need is urgent for practical measures to meet this need. such as are pro- posed by our Mayor and others. Nothing more truly Christian was ever asked of us.

There is the desperate need of sufferers from war and victims of injustice in Europe and Asia. Out of our abundance in this rich country we are called to help our brothers in distress.

Above all, there is the call to intelligent and conscientious fol- lowers of Christ to strike at the source of the evils from which our people are suffering by bring- ing about such reforms and meas- ures of social readjustment as will provide for these necessities in advance and give our people the security for which they pray. This is a matter of right rather than charity. Jesus and His in- terpreters call for practical action always in the face of human need

and suffering,

ticularly bear this in mind.

Nestltngs ere often lnterestingl but they can scarcely be called‘ attractive until very shortly be-‘ fore they are ready to leave home. After that it is difficult to decide which young birds are most en-, gaging, and we are apt to changel our minds over and over as we see the different kinds: King- birds with their fluffy, pure whttel tlnderparts; Redstarts whose stubby, baby tails already have a tiny yellow feather on each side as has their mother's; Humming- birds, sttll so ridiculously small al-t though they are able to follow; mother around as she flits from blossom to blossom.

Most; birds have to be fed for a while at least after they have left home; then they are taught how to find and prepare their own‘ meals, hide from danger, bathe-p and sometimes many other ac-l compllshments. Even nestlings arel taught obedience —— something es- pecially necessary for preserva- tion. When mother says, "Keep quiet, danger is near, don't draw attention to yourselves," every‘. tiny bird is expected to remain‘ perfectly still until given the sig- nal that all ts well once mortn. Woodcock babies are exceptlonallyl obedient. Mrs. Duck frcquentlyl makes herself into a boat, on‘ which the duckling: go for long, excursions, tucked snugly asvayi among the feathers of her back.‘ Juvenile Marsh Hawks are taken on foraging expeditions, a ltttlel farther from home each day. Chip- ping Sparrows tmpose on their parents, following thcm around and loudly demanding attention for weeks.

In some cases only when birds are in their first plumage docs their ancestry show. A spotted breast is a Thrush characteristic. Robins really belong to the Thrush family, but only juveniles wear the family emblem. Young Robins and young Wilson Thrushes (first cousins) resemble each other more than they do their own parents. The majority of immature birds. as Canada Warblers, Pigeon Hawks, or Red-winged Blackbirds, are bratty much replicas of their mothers. However, the little sons of some kinds at an early age show, though vaguely, the char- acteristic colouring of their fath- ers. This is particularly notice- able tn certain instances. Young rnale Robins have signs of the red breast appearing through their dark spots oflnfancy: and Mr. Rose-breasted Grosbeak’; sons have indications of the rosy pink bib and wing linings, Frequently adults of both sexes are alike, as Song Sparrows, Catblrds, and Spotted Sandplpers. Their sons and daughters cannot be differenti- ated, but they are not like their parents.
