IC?Sourcos of the Christian's Comfort.
The hopes of the disciples were ut
terly shattered when Jesus told them
About the cross. Jesus hud told them
that He was going nway, and that
they could net follow 111m. Their
ftettrts were flooded with grief. He con
soled them l?y
I. Pointing to th? Reunion In th?
Father's House (vv. 1-3).
1. lie AsUs Them to Trust In Him
Even as <jJ?h1 (v. 1). Faith In the God
man. Christ Jesus, will steady the
lieart, no matter how Intense the grief
or how great the sorrow.
2. He Informed Them mint He Wns
(Going t'> the Father's House In Heaven
to Prepare a Home for Them (v. 2).
He assured them that there was abun
dant room for nil. Heaven Is an eter
nal dwelling place.
8. He Assured Them That He Would
iCome Again nnd Kscort Them to
tllenven (v. 3). Jesus will not wait for
His own to come to Him, hut will
come and mil forth from the graves
(those who have died, and transform
living believers, and take them all to
'l>e with Himself In the heavenly home
foreverniore (I Thess. 4:10-17).
II. Revealing the Way to th? Fa
ther'? House (vv. 4-11).
! Jesus Informed the disciples that
they knew the place to which He was
igolng and the way. To this Thomas
Jlntcrposed a doubt. In anawer to which
Christ asserts that He Is
i 1. The Way to OJod (v. 3). lie Is
something more than a mere guide or
tencher. He Is the way Itself. He la
the door of the 8hcep-fold.
2. The Truth (v. 3). He Is not mere
ly the teacher, but the truth Incarnate.
Iln Ills Incarnation the splrltunl and
material worlds were united, there
fore every line of truth whether spir
tftual or materini converge? In Him. No
lone who does not have Christ can ever
have the real truth about anything. In
Him we hnve the truth about man.
Iwhat he is, what he ought to be, and
Jwhat he shnll be In eternity. In Him
IWipeclally we have th? truth about
jOod.
i 3. The Life (v. 3). Ohrlat 1? not
imerely the giver of life, but He la the
(essence of life. Only those who re
ceive Christ have life In the true sense.
[Since He Is God incarnate, to know
Him la to know God.
III. Assuring Them That His Work
?Was to Continue (vv. 12-14).
Jesus' going away was not to end
[the work which He had begun. This
(no doubt meant that through the min
istry of the Splrlt-fllled disciples, the
,-work which Christ began would as
Siuine larger proportions. There would
>? u much greater number of conver
sions thnn under Ills ministry. After
'the Day of Pentecost the gospel did
take n much wider range. During Ills
jminlstry the message wns confined to
Ithe Jews, while under the ministry of
jthe disciples It was only limited by
Ithe world Itself. The disciples' min
istry wns ushered In by the conversion
lof three thousand In one day.
| IV. Promises Another Comforter
j(vv. 12-17).
The word comforter means literally
?one called to the side of another to
Iglve help, protection and deliverance.
"Thla comforter wns the Holy Spirit.
jJesus was the Comforter while here
Iln the body. The Holy Spirit was to
Ibe "another comforter."
V. Assuring Them of His Return to
{Them (vv. 18-24).
. Although Christ went away He did
?not leave His disciples as orphans.
X*he Father and the Son make their
labode with the disciples who love and
Krtiey Jesus Christ.
VI. Assuring Them That the Holy
'Spirit Would Aid Them In Remember
|lng and Understanding Hla Word?
[<vv. 2,1-23).
This (he Holy Spirit does by Illu
minating the minds of the disciples.
VII. Giving the Lsgacy of His Peace
i(rv. 22-31).
By His peace Is meant the serenity
iof soul which ore enjoys who Is recon
ciled to God. who knows that his sins
Isfe forgiven.
Doing Better
Tt i* not n question of how much we
S re to do, hut of how It I? to he done,
t 1? not n question of doing more, but
Ipt doing better.?John Kuakla.
The Salad
Woman
By CLARISSA MACKIg
(Copyright.)
MARK LONSDALE sat down at the
yellow painted table and looked
with a bored and weary eye at the
flock* of black geese that flew In tri
ungles over the yellow walla. Geeae
everywhere, all slaes, but alwnyb
black, either waddled up and down
or flew across the walls. "Good huntln'
here," he grinned to himself aa a
waitress approached. He rather ex
pected her to be attired as the famous
Goose Girl, and leading a black goose
In leiiHh, but she was }wst a plain
everyday little wultress.
Mark studied the menu thought
fully. He was lunching early, and his
uppetlte was fickle.
"A salad?some ten?and you might
bring me some cake."
"What kind of salnd?" she asked.
"Something good, that's all," and
he opened the magazine he had
bought.
As he surveyed the delectable lunch
eon placed before him, Mark fell'
a pang of homesickness.
"Mny Appleby's own recipe," he
thought, startled out of his weariness;
"there's that trick of flavoring that
she would never tell a soul?no one
could guess what It was!" He leaned
j bnck In his clmlr and beckoned to
the waitress.
"This salnd," he tried to speak care
| lessly, but the matter was of such great
I Importance to him that his voice
i shook, "this salad Is very good."
She beamed upon him. "Yes, sir. It
1 is one of our specialties."
"Of course It Is made here?at the
i Black Goose?"
"Ves, sir."
"Perhaps It Is the manager's own
i recipe?" he suggested.
"No, sir, we have a very good salnd
. woma i," she said primly and moved
, away. She thought the pale, stern
j young man was trying to flirt with
her.
Mark ate the salnd slowly, dwelling
j painfully on his one romance?a pitl
, able romance whose aroma was not
that of rose or violet, the delicate pun
gency of a salad. But In the old days
they had called It "Mayapple Salad,"
because May Appleby had contrived
I Its peculiar dellclousness.
i He had been on the point of ask
ing Mny Appleby to marry hltn when
business suddenly called him to the
Far West. From there he had gone
to British Columbia, and finally
j Alaska. He wrote letters to May
I and never had a reply. Ills own
people wrote that Mr. Appleby had
suddenly died, the family had scat
! tered, and May and her mother had
, disappeared.
When Mark came home he went' to
. the Appleby farm and found It in the
hands of strangers. No one knew
? where May and her mother were at
! present, -but they had "gone to the
city," and aa the city happened to be
a very large one, Mark was still go
ing through the needle-and-haystack
experience.
At last the salad came to an end
and n delicious chocolate layer cake
was set before him.
"What Is the name of the salad I
have just eaten?" he asked.
She referred to the menu. "That Is
mayapple salad," she said, and hur
ried o way.
Mark went out of the place In a
daze. Somebody was making May's
own particular salnd, and he was a
poor sleuth if he could not discover
his love's whereabouts through the
medium of that delectable dish. He
knew that In the busy tea shop there
was little chance'of obtaining such in
formation, but he did try the telephone
lu a nearby drug store.
"1 am so sorry," trilled a sweet
voice, "but Miss Appleby went home
Rt eleven o'clock. Her home address?"
a sudden congealing of the sweetness,
"I ntn very sorry, but that is quite im
possible."
"She will come tomororw morning,"
argued Mark doggedly, "and I will
I take my early stand In this drug store
window even If I have to pay a rental
for it?and I will wait until she does
cornel" Hnvlng mnde'tfhls threat he
finished the day contentedly enough
and slept wonderfully well for a
harassed man. At seven o'clock the
next morning he took his stand on
the corner near the drug store, which
did not open until eight. In the drug
store it is a matter of history that he
waited two mortal hours before he rec
ognized a certain slim, erect form
come swinging around the corner. Ills
dash from the store was in record
time, and he mnnaged to catapult into
May Appleby In front of the tea shop.
The basket she carried went flying.
"Mark Lonsdale!" gasped Miss Ap
pleby. "Why?Mark, you've upset my
salnd forever!" She bent over him
as he picked up the basket and found
the well-packed salad quite unharmed.
"May, do you love me?" he asked,
desperately, after ?he had hurriedly ex
plained her mother's jqortlfled pride
?i Ui?ir taliva luriuues nad compelled ,
their hiding themselves for awhUe.
"May, do you love me as much aa 1 j
love you?"
"To ask such a question nt such a |
time! Well. If you Insist. Mark," she
lowered her voice to u whisper and
blushed rosily. "1 don't know how
touch you care?tout I do!"
If It bad not been for tbs crowds
on the sidewalk and the curious eyes
looking from the tea shop. Mark would
have embraced her then und there. "1
will not kiss you now," he threatened,
"If you will promise never to make
mayapple salad for anyone except
me!"
Water Denizen That
Hag Few Vital Organs
The little creature called the lance- I
lot Is slender and pointed at both end*
und not very easy to nee, since It Is
Almost transparent and is only from
an Inch and a half to two and a half
Inches In length.
It lives In shallow water and likes
to stick Its head end into the sand,
Into which it burrows with great
rapidity. It remains thus for a long
time with Its tuil sticking out. When
on the surface of the water it lies on
its side.
While It can neither see nor hear,
there Is reason for believing that It
possesses the Benses of smell and
taste. Its eggs are laid about sunset
and the larvae hatch out early the
next morning.
The lancelot has no head. More
over, it has neither legs nor pairs of
(Ins. It has a mouth, however, placed
at one end, which, therefore, may be
called the head end of the body.
It has a stomach, a very simple
form of liver and another simple or
gan which takes the place of a heart,
since It Is capable of contracting and
thus forcing the blood, which Is quite
colorless, forwnrd to the area of the
gills, where it is purified.?Review of

Business Now Made of
Producing Spider Silk
Spider farming Is one of the little
known industries of modern times.
The end in view is not the Intensive
fighting of the fly peril, but the produc
tion of spider silk, than which there
is nothing better for the cross lines of
surveying and other instruments.
Supplies in vastly larger quantities
are needed for the manufacture of spi
der-sllk stockings, and it is to meet this
demand that special spider farms have
been started from time to time, says
Tit-Bits.
It is no easy matter to keep and
feed the spiders, to prevent them from
engaging In mortal combat, and to
collect their silk in suitable form. The
process of "silking" tlie spider amounts
to playing catchhall, with the spider as
ball. In its passage through the air
the Rplder Instinctively pays out silk,
and It can be induced to part with a
hundred y: rds or more during a suc
cession of such flights.
I
Secret Safe
?'Oh, Alice!" Virginia exclaimed,
"have you heard about Gladys?"
"No; what about her?" Alice de
manded.
"Well, she and Dick Rodney are
going to bo married In June!"
"You don't say! Well, I always
knew Pick thought a lot of Oladys,
but I never dij iliink she would agree
to marry him."
"And Alice," Virginia continued,
"the engagement is a secret just now.
I promised Gladys I wouldn't tell h
living soul, so don't you breathe a
word of it to anyone."
"Why, Virginia," Alice replied, "you
know 1 wouldn't any more think of
telling it than you would!"
Genuine Article
Salesmen may be gracious and cheer
ful and yet lack knowledge of the
goods they are expected to sell. This
Is a sad fault and a handicap to good
salesmanship. A story is told of a
genial storekeeper In central Ohio
whose education in selling was of the
kindergarten variety. A custojner
v-ame in and asked for a little cheese
cloth.
The storekeeper disappeared, but
;ame back lugging a lnrge specimen of
a New Ycfrk cheese. "Here's the
cheese," he said, "but I'll be ding
busted if I know bow I'm goin' to get
(lie cloth offen it!"
Bog Ornaments Irish Asset
One of the industries of Ireland has
long been the manufacture of bog oak
ornaments, llefore the period of up
heaval in Ireland the export of these
goods from the Emorald Isle through
the port of Dublin equaled a value of
$1'X>.000 a year. The trade originated
in the reign of George IV. soon nfter
his visit to Ireland in 1821, London Tlt
H!rs says. At first all the ornaments
wore hand carved and polished, but
machinery was us,-d with the Increased
demand. Yew. fir and birch, as well as
oak. are woods used by the makers of
the ornaments. The one necessity is
that the logs shall have been long |
burled in the bogs.
