THEN HE UNDERSTOOD
Unique Table Decoration
REVELATION CAME SUDDENLY
TO MAN CF WEALTH.
Plain Old Countrywoman Had Pos-
sessed Something Greater Than
Uie Ricnes He Had Spent His
Life in Gathering.
John Hull found tne telegram at his
office. As he read the words, the
busy scene aoout him faded away, and
he saw himself once more a little,
ragged, frightened boy. who heard
with terror the word "poorhouse"
whispered by the neighbors. Then
Aunt Rachel had come in. She had
stood a moment looking at hia moth-
er's still face; then she had crossed
the room and gathered the boy into
her arms. "He isn't going to the
poorhouse." she had said, quietly. "I
am going to take care of him."
It was an odd "caretaking" in some
ways. Aunt Rachel was an old maid,
and knew nothing of a boy's heart.
And yet—how good she had been—
how good and patient! In the last ten
years, although he had seen her only
twice, there had been no word of re-
proach, only the same unchanging
lore and faith. A blur came over
John Hull's eyes, and calling his sec-
retary, be gave rapid orders. He was
going to Aunt RacheL He hoped she
would know.
Nine hour3 later he was alone with
Aunt Rachel. As he looked at the
great peace of the small, worn face, a
strange feeling swept across him. Ha
never saw a look like that in Wall
street* This little, plain, old country-
woman had possessed something
greater than riches!
Later, they brought him her papers
and letters. They were very few. but
among them were her account books,
and John Hull realized that in those
careful figures be was reading the
story of her life. He was amazed
to know how tiny her income had
been. And of what she had had, a
tenth had gone to her church, a fifth
to her missionary society, and nearly
all the rest for a boy who was not
even related to her.
And he had thought her life pitifully
poor and narrow! Now in his hour of
vision he saw that his was the poor
and barren life—with its careless and
spasmodic giving, its absorption in
"the game." He understood at last
the generous and unselfish investment
of this life acd all its possessions. And
suddenly there came to him the mem-
cry of a hot summer Sunday of his
boyhood, and of the minister's voice
as he read his text: "Well done, thou
good and faithful servant- thou hast
been faithful over a few things, I will
make thee ruler over many things."
Could that be said of the uses he
had made of his own life?
Alone in the April night John Hull
faced himself.—Youth's Companion

A Thanksgiving table decoration scheme with the Puritan maid and the
Indian in evidence is very suggestive of the day. Crepe paper with a
com design is used for the table cloth. This is cut out around the edge and
placed over a flounce of plain white crepe paper and a heavy cord of green
crepe paper twisted to form a rope is attached around the edge of the ta-
ble. A doll representing an Indian Is dressed in a tan crepe paper suit
with fringe of black crepe paper. The Puritan maid is dressed in gray
crepe paper with a white shawl and apron. The corn centerpiece is con-
trived out of green paper leaves with the ears of corn made of yellow pa-
per mounted on cardboard the shape of an ear of corn.
The place cards are of white cardboard decorated with ears of corn.
The design can be cut out of crepe paper and pasted on.
The punch boxes are made of small pasteboard boxes covered with yel-
low paper in a corn design and trimmed with green paper leaves. The
favors are large ears of corn made of yellow paper with green leaves

ND now. we meet
on common
ground. Let's ex-
pect unanimity
while we consider
Thanksgiving day.
What is now our
national festival
of thanksgiving
was inaugurated! .
as we remember
by the Pilgrim fa-
thers at the end
of their first year
as pioneers. In
. praise, and grati-
tude for blessing,
they openly gave thanks.
What a year's toll and privation
meant to them we will not try to pic-
ture, but at its end we know they com-
memorated all in a day of thanks, for
the harvest which was theirs. For the
earth had brought forth her increase
and they were glad.
And for that first Thanksgiving day
we should now give thanks. It was
much a factor in preserving blessings
to us of today.
Are we not content to believe then
and. believing, to show in acts that
the Bplrit of our Thanksgiving day
should animate the doings of all our
days? We are told, you know that
when all the people praise thee, then
shall the earth bring forth her in-
crease. From this we learn that the
earth brings forth her increase as a re-
sult of the co-operation between man
and his Maker, thus we find man prais-
ing, before the Increase comes For
this increase eomes at the end of toil
and labor So then work is praise.
Some decry the modern commemora-
' tion cf Thanksgiving day. saying "the
spirit and significance, the original in-
tent. is lost now in frolicsome forget-
fulnesa. The day runs to sports and
merrymaking."
Is it not better and happier to feel
rhaf it is not the Bpirit. but the ex-
pression only that is changed—not
' lost. And this, like other changes,
has come to us as the sum of man's
achieving skill in making possible the
many avenues for recreation. This,
in itself, is caase again for thanks-
giving.
There is always cause for thanks-
giving. and chief among the causes Is
rhrc Yery cne, that we have reached a
state in life where we have time to
play a little. We grown-ups need our
playtimes, just as the children need
their toys. So when we see hurrying
throngs on pleasure bent on our aa-
1 clonal Thanksgiving day is it not true

some happiness? Is this not better
to believe than that the day is de-

should banish. Keeping our standard
clean and high, our guests must strive
to honor it And that we of today
may welcome and aid in shaping these

giving.
For the smiling faces of children,
the touch of baby fingers. For the
sights that please us. the sounds that
soothe us, the hands that serve us.
For the workers seen and unseen
whose labors lend to our comfort. For
ears to hear, eyes to see and strength
to speed us, thanksgiving. For the
stretch of woodland, the valleys and
the hills, for the art in nature that
causes a stream to pursue its sinuous
course rather than the straight line.
For the glisten of the plumage of
birds and their sweet-throated notes
at matins or at eventide. For the
beauty and wonder and vista of
thought opened by a polished, sculpt-
ured column of shimmering marble.

they who conduct the traffic, all
these represent uncounted toil and
ability and genius. Of the tools with
which all these are fashioned and the
skill directing them. For *11 these
works wrought and for the worker*,
thanksgiving.
For the blessings of the present
thanksgiving. They come to us as
fruitage of the blessings cf the past.
For the journeylngs of the Israelites,
for the selling of Joseph into Egypt,
for David and Goliath, for the light
from Nazareth for the doubts of
Thomas. For all these, thanksgiving.

spake "for he wist not what to say"
iv. 6). Mark alone records these
words, and Mark largely received his
gospel from Peter.
Three Heavenly Voices Heard.
We have only to read 2 Peter, 1: IS-
IS to answer any question as to this
being a vision in the modern accept-
ance of that term. We are also told
that the word "vision" found in verse
9 of the lesson can be translated,
"things seen." Indeed the disciples
were "fully awake" (Luke 9:32 R. V.).
The question as to how the disciples
could recognize Moses and Elijah,
whom they had never seen, is not at
all difficult for the believer. They ap-
peared "in glory" and when the glory
was withdrawn they saw "no man
save Jesus."
This also serves to help answer the
question, "Shall we recognize in glory
those whom we have lost awhile?"
Three heavenly voices were heard.
Jesus' voice in prayer, his compan-
ions conversing of that great event
yet to be accomplished (Luke 9:31)
and the voice of God, "This is my be-
loved (only begotten) Son . hear him."
What matters the opinions of earth's
greatest lawyers and prophets, or the
suggestions of our dearest friends.
Fear fell upon them and they fell
upon their faces in humiliation, but
with tender compassion Jesus said
"arise and be not afraid." It almost
seems like a rebuke to Peter, who had
so freely protested against the sugges-
tion of the manner of his death.
Jesus' transfiguration and the words
of his companion, as well as the com-
mand of the Father, were a vindica- i
tion of his authority and a reveiation
in advance of the supreme wonder of
the cross. Arising they "saw no man
save Jesus." It Is far better to "see
him" than to see, hold converse with,
or have communion with, the great-
est of earth, past or present.
2. The descent, v. 9:13.—As they
descended from the mountain Jesus
charged them to tell no man. Very
different from our modern method.
Eut the need Is clearly shown as we
read Peter's words 2 Peter, 1:15-21).
. Peter places great emphasis upon the
importance of this experience, declaim
1 ing himself as an eyewitness of his
■ majesty" as well as the "honor and
glory." Peter and the others could
not talk intelligently of this experi-
ence until after Christ's work was
! "finished" upon Calvary, vindicated at
I the tomb and glorified on the day of
; Pentecost. Hence they kept that
laying with themselves." obeying bis
