A Little Talk on the Appreciation
of Their Efforts.
SHOULD KEEP THE CREATIONS
It Is tho Pleasant "How Nice" That
Makes All the Difference
to the Hearts of the
Children.
By SIDONIE M. GRUENBERQ.
An ouch child's iiiiiuu wus culled he
Hepped forward uml received lrom
the kindergarten the result of his ef
forts ut "nmkltiK something" 'ir some
ember ol the home. The children
weio guy mid they were uiitlclptitlni;
the Joy of kIvIiij;. It was .. nlousure
to wutch them, Hut when (5euevlee's
name wuh culled u new note was
struck, "i'tcuse, Miss White," she
said, "my mother does not want me
to bother her uny more with the
thliiRs I make." And Miss White laid
(Jenevleve's calendar aside.
It Is not dllllcult to see the point of
view expressed In (Jenevleve's plain
tive abueuatlon. There Is really no
room for all these things ..t home.
We have all the calendars t nil blot
ters and picture frames and shaving
pads that we really need. And as for
ornaments, these things are not par
ticularly beautiful, utid If they are, as
may sometimes happen, they do not
harmonize with the scheme of things
already Installed, and, besides, they
gather dust, and there are few homes
that have not already too many dust
catchers. We can well understand
that (Jenevleve's mother was weary of
calendars and bookmarks.
Hut Miss White Is also weary of
calendars and bookmarks. Where
one mother has had half a dozen she
has iad hundreds. She manages to
smile, however, In spite of the clutter
and In spite of the obvious monotony
through a curious trick of the mind
which It would be well for f!enevleve's
mother and other mothers to learn.
The trick Is this: Instead of dealing
with calendars and bookmarks, she
fixes her mind upon the efforts of the
tots, she sees trial and tribulation,
she sees wonder nnd experiments,
where the ret of us see only crude
Imitations of tulips or apple blos
soms. Notwithstanding the high rentnla
we have to pny It ought to he pos
sible for every mother to keep each
child's tokenH of struggle nnd con
quest for some time nt least. For
nothing Is more important to the
child than that his meager nnd un
successful attempts nt mastering his
material surroundings should receive
generous encouragement. And while
much Is gnlned by having someone
stnnd by nnd cheer him when he fal
ters, that Is not enough. The prod
uct, poor though It lie. Is the symbol
of an Idea, an Inspiration, nnd de
serves tho courtesy of serious and
dignified attention from parents and
other elders The calendar Is as wor
thy of a place on the wall as any
thing you enn buy nt the store, for
by honoring It you teach the child
that his efforts are not wasted. As
for taste In cnlendnrs, lenvo that to
the years.
Of course It Is not necessury to
display all of tho child's creations or
to convert the home Into an Indus
trial museum. It Is, In fact, the lut
est trophy that curries the greatest
Interest, nnd the latest may be mado

to displace Its predecessor, each ef
fort thus receiving Its due share of
attention and appreciation. Where
there are several children It should
be possible to provide large paper en
velopes and boxes In which these early
treasures may be kept.
Kvery mother knows that young
children can be u nuisance and In the
way Just when they are trying to help
with some "work." The number of
peas that the baby can shell or the
area that the child can sweep will
contribute little to lightening the day's
work. Hut the value of the contribu
tion is not to be measured thus. It
Is to be measured In good will, In ap
plication and In the satisfaction that
comes or should come from having
made u worthy effor.t nt doing some
thing useful. We should therefore
not belittle the achievement or muko
the child feel that his assistance Is
worthless.
The child works In the spirit of the
artist. He Is not seeking material re
wards; he wants the satisfaction of
doing someUiing that has meaning and
he wants appreciation. Without these
he will become either u shirker, shun
nlng nil effort or a perfunctory
grind, laboring under compulsion of
A
MM
one kind or another. It Is therefore,
ucccssurj not only that opportunities
be furnWhed for doing various kinds of
work, but that the first awkward at
tempts be appreciated In a way that
will lead to further effort. And this
Is Just as true of attempts nt singing
or Invention Invention of a song or
story, for example as It Is of at
tempts at making some object or
drawing that others may handle or
exhibit.
While this doctrine of appreciation
does not permit us to belittle the
child's efforts, It still leaves us free
to help tho child with criticisms cal
culated to enable Kim to Increase his
work. Hut we should call attention to
such defects only us he Is In a posi
tion to remedy himself, and without
too much effort. If the doll's dress la
too long, It's a simple mutter to cut It
down. Hut If It's too short we note
(lint It's a very nice dress, and thlnkl
we'll make the next one a little long-
er. The repeated emphasis on defects
of design or execution may have the
effect of Improving the child's taste or,
Judgment ; but they are more likely toi
discourage all effort. !
A child that sees too clearly the
shortcomings of his efforts will refuse,
to do anything at all. This was the
case with fotir ear-old Herbert, whoso,

When little Allan's mother fulled
to recognize the child's drawing H
that of a "lamp" she was wise enough
to take to herself the blame "How
stupid of me I" For, after all, you can
recognize even the lamp If you are
told what It Is supposed to be. And
so the burden of keeping keen the
edge of effort rests upon us. Hut don't
let the child become conceited.
THEY COULDN'T RESIST HIM
Young Man 8urely Had a Taking Way

Him Tell It
"Oh, I make friends with people
whenever i like," he had explained,
"and they never object. They like
It. They all like It."
"And you speuk to strange young
ladles?"
"The last one I spoke to was In
London Inst month. I was standing
on the steps of u house In Piccadilly,
watching some visiting potentates
drive by, when the door opened, nnd
out came the prettiest girl I ever saw
In my life. She stood for a moment
looking up nnd down the street, and I
said to her: 'Do ou know who thnt
tierce, fat man In the last carriage Is
tho one who looks like n walrus?'
She said : 'Oh, that's my Uncle Ethel
liert.' "
"Rut that was tho nd of It," Mary
broke In "you didn't go on talking
to her?"
"The end of It," Krujer Hohbs had
concluded, taking off his glove and of
fering u slim bony hand "the end was
that we had tea at an A. H. C. shop,
and she said she was sorry she was
engaged to marry her cousin, whose
name, 1 think, was Lionel." From

in Century Magazine.
Serum to Save Drowning Persons.
Experiments are being made with
a serum which Is said to have been
used with success in restoring cases
of asphyxiation and drowning In ani
mals several hours after life has been
to all appearances extinct. There ap
pears to be one drawback In the re
sult thus far, however, In that In many
Instances there have been serious
alter effects such us high blood press
ure or hardening of the arteries. If
the serum Is to be perfected, as up
pears to be likely, the physicians are
of the opinion that It can be Injected
several hours after the accident and
icstore life. In one cuse the scrum
was used on an animal that hud been
apparently dead from drowning for it
period of four hours. The animal was
brought back to life, though It died
later from blood pressure.
War and the Weather.
If the north Atlantic skippers who
think that the bnd weather from which
they have been suffering Is due to tho
concussion of the bombardment In Eu
rope would compare notes with their
colleagues In the West India und Ca
ribbean trade they might take u broad
er view of the meteorological dis
turbances. The storms which have
been raging In the north Atlantic, the
bny of Hlscay and tho Mediterranean
started In thu tropics and had already
paid respects to our coast before cross
ing over to add to Europe's troubles.
Tho skepticism of tho scientists In re
gard to tho connection between wur
and weather Is well founded. As for
the sun spots, all that can tie snld at
present Is that they ure under muh

THE ARREST OF PAUL.
l.KMHON TT.XT-Aetit 21 IT 40
(lOI.MIJN TI'.XT TIioii ninth Im ft wit
lions for lilm unto nil itinn of what thou
liuM neon ntiil lioiinl Acts 22.15
No study of the book of Acts Is
complete unless the teacher Impiesscs
upon his pupils the opportunities for
lhlug the Christian life In the normal
enlronmeiit of the home or school,
at work or play. Deep Interest at
taches to eery detail lending up to
Paul's l-lt to Home. Theiefore let
the teacher trace Paul's Jouiney from
.Mlleta to Jerusalem, which occupied
about four weeks, and took place In
the early part of the jeur A. I. fi7.
1. The Arrival (vv 17 'J(l). The Spirit
revealed to the disciples and to proph
ets thnt If Paul went to this elty ho
would be In great danger, ami the
Spirit was not foi bidding but only
leaching him for he knew Paul had
n great work to do In Jerusalem, and
that he only could do It. I'.er, where
Paul went he "searched for" (v 7)
disciples, with whom he tarried and
whom ho enlightened In the way of
truth. Arriving In Jerusalem, he ap
pears tn tunc made his Imtno wllh
Mnason, outside of the crowded elty,
thus being less exposed to danger and
finding a place of rest. At a public
reception (v. IS) Paul reports of his
work, and no doubt he laid his strong
est emphasis on what Cod had
wrought through him. among the
churches of Asia. The leaders of tho
Jerusalem church received Ihe gifts
Paul brought from Ihe ttcutllo
churches, glorified (Sod for what ho
h id accomplished, but saw clearly
that, to accomplish bis .statesiumillko
purpose, something must be done to
make clear that the false reports as
to Paul's teaching were discredited
(vv. 20-U2). They therefore resorted
to diplomacy (vv. 'iVJU). To tho
ninny thousands of Jews gathered on
this festival occasion In the city,
some of whom were zealous for tho
law, they declared first that Paul
taught nil the Jews which were among
the Oentlles not to forsake Moses;
second, that he had not taught them
not to walk after tho customs of
Moses. Tho fncts were Paul obeyed
tho Jewish ceremonlul lnws person
ally, nn n matter of race, not hs a
condition of salvation.
II. The Arrest (vv. 27-fin). Paul's
attempt nt conciliation resulted not
In penco but In more discord. Every
tnio servant of Ood Is sure to be mis
represented, nnd It will not do nlvvnys
to attempt to set straight all tho lies
thnt nro told about him. Ood will
tnke care of the lies and of our repu
tations. Most of the chnrges thnt
men even Christians, bring ngulnst
one another are based upon "sup
position" (v. 20). It wns not u new
experlenco for Paul to be mobbed. An
tho maddened Jews dragged him out
of the temple he must have recalled
tho treatment of Stephen In which he,
himself, had had n hand (7:57. 58).
How frequent It Is that wo, ourselves,
nro In duo time treated In the snmo
way In which we have trented others
(Gal. 0:7). It was tho Intention of
the Jews to hill Paul at onco without
n trial (20:0, 10). They fancied thoy
were doing Clod's service (John 10:2).
This lesson Is a striking example of
tho utter folly nnd wickedness of mob
law. Paul's time had not yet come,
nnd all the mobs on earth could not
kill him until Ood permitted It.
III. The Arraignment (vv. 37-40).
Tidings of the riot canio to the chief
captain, cqulvnlent to our colonel
(Acts 23:20). Pnul wns bound with
two chnlns, one from each of his arms
to n soldier, secured, yet left free to
walk with his guards, thus fulfilling
the prophecy of Agnbus (v. 21). Mobs
usunlly have great respect for sol
diers, for they nro Inwardly covvnrdly.
No sooner wns Paul on the stairs
which led to the top of the fortress
than the mob, afraid that they wero
nbout to be balked of their vengeance,
made n mad rush at him. with. cries
of "Kill him; kill hlini" and Paul.,
unable In his fettered condition to
steady himself, was carried off his
feet and hurried off In the name path
his Master had trod (John HI -If.)
and he was again to hear that cry.
(Ch. 22-22). During all thin tumult
Paul had but one thought, how ho
might witness for his Master, ntuT
bring some of his blinded accusers to
a saving knowledge of Christ. Thus
It was that he asked for the prlvllego
of speaking, and most courteously did
ho mnke his request. H spoke to
the cnptaln In the Creek tongue, not
In Hebrew, and great was tho surprlso
of the captain,

Such conduct Is disconcerting to our
enemies.
Diplomacy U often dnngcrous nnd
misunderstood.
Circumstantial evidence Is never of
great value.
Thero Is, however, n desirable form
of diplomacy ob when Paul nddressed
the soldiers In his native tongue.
Paul's prlnclplo wns In essentials,
firmness; In non-essentials, liberty.
