The Tri-Weekly Journal's Own Serial
The Only Thing That Counts
A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia
By the Famous Novelist
Carolyn Beecher
(Copyright, 1920.)
Chapter I.
IT was a glorious day in early
October when Helen •Westfield
stepped from the train in the
Grand Central station. New
York had donned her gayest aspect
to welcome her. The air was crisp,
bracing, yet the sun shone warmly.
Curiously she watched her fellow
passengers as they hurried from the
train all intent upon their own af
fairs, knowing nothing, caring less
for those with whom they came in
contact.
Most of the women were met by
some one. She seemed strangely
alone as'she looked at the unfamiliar
faces, yet she rejoiced in that very
aloofness.
A trinity of stylishly dressed
women passed her, chatting earn
estly.
"I wonder what price they have
paid for what they have? Every
body has to pay, some time,” she
said to herself as she noted their ex
pensive clothes, their jewels.
There was no envy in her glance,
none in her mind. No matter what a
woman had, she paid for it and she
paid a top price, so Helen believed,
if not in the coin of the realm, in
something infinitely more precious—
in her lost faith, her vanished hap
piness. perhaps, a lost soul.
With a shrug she dismissed the
three women and also her morbid
thoughts. It was no concern of hers.
Naturally optimistic, her spirits rose
as she thought that this was now to
be her home. This great seething
city where no one either knew or
cared who or what she was; what
she had been —so long as she paid
her way and minded her own busi-
It had suddenly become necessary
for her to. earn her own living. One
or two accepted stories by a maga
zine editor- pointed the way They
had been written to keep her mind
occupied, to save heF reason. No
one had been more astonished than
she when they were accepted. But
from that day she saw away out.
No thought of failure had since en
tered her mind. She would succeed
because she must.
In her indignation at the way life
had treated her, Helen had declared
that she owed the world nothing,
least of all confidence in her affairs.
She even went so far as to say that

not any of the component parts of
that world, as represented by the
people she met, had any right or
reason to be enlightened as to what
had been her life before she met
them.
It was in this state of mind that
Helen Westfield had come to New
York to live —New York the great
hiding place for anguished souls.
Jler world had been overturned; her
faith was gone. She was cynical be
cause she had been shocked, wound
ed. The world she had visioned had
been such a joyous, happy one. The
world that she knew had been so dif
ferent. It was nothing but a sham,
a cheat and a liar. It had promised
so much, and it had given—nothing!
Some would say a dangerous con
dition of mind for a young and love
ly woman. For Helen Westfield was
lovely, dangerously, fiiquantly so.
That she had her own living now
to earn was one of the results of her
faith in the world —in people. She
never had done any work before—
paid work —but that did not frighten
her. Poverty did not frighten her;
it only annoyed her for the moment.
She looked the future calmly in the
face, expecting nothin;*, so sure she
would not be disappointed, so she
told herself. And she would be free!
She felt like crying her freedom
aloud in the station. Instead she
asked a good-natured looking porter
to direct her to Washington Square
In a side street, just off the square,
she found the house for which she
was looking It was a dreary, un
kempt looking place enough, and al
most she was tempted to try else
where. But she was possessed of a
buoyant temperament. The inside
might be more attractive. So she
rang the bell.
The studio room, with tiny sleep
ing room attached, was even more
unprepossessing than the exterior of
the house. The curtainless -windows,
the dingy carpet, chairs which wob
bled when you sat upon them, made
the rooms even more depressing than
the exterior had been.
"Most folks like the view," the
janitress said, waiting.
Helen walked to the window,
caught a glimpse of the square, the
trees, and turning impulsively said;
“I’ll take it.”
For a week Helen worked hard, as
sisted by the janitress. Also she
spent a good share of the money she
-’bt with her—all she had
in the world. At the end of that
time no one would have recognized
the place. An imitation Chinese rug
covered the studio floor, a rag one
the sleeping room. Pretty, soft col
ored curtains at the windows, a few
pieces of plain substantial furniture
the rickety things she had
thrown out. Her tiny kitchenette —
a necessary apnendage to every stu
dio—was daintily curtained after it
had been religiously scrubbed. The
apartment was now most attractive.
She would rest a day or two, look
about a little, then commence to
write.

—LUMBER. X
By Edi-nuncl Vance CooK
We men are but crude scraps of lumber.
We are strewn in the Yard without number,
And we owe all we are to the schooling
Os dressing and trimming and tooling.
The saw seizes on us and rips us.
The biting adz scars us and chips us,
Maul, mallet and hammer, in caucus,
Belabor and beat us and knock us.
The brace and the bit join to bore us.
The knife and the chisel to score us,
The vise has the virtue to grasp us,
The file has the fortune to rasp us.
The plane seizes on us to smooth us,
The veneer and the varnish to soothe us;
We are grooved, we are matched, we are bevelled,
We are squared, we are gauged, we are leveled.
And if, after all of the labor,
We are made of some use to our neighbor,
Well, then, by one Carpenter’s ruling,
We ought to be glad of our tooling.
SABBATH
SCHOOL LESSON
For November 21—20 Matt. 10
DR. MARION M’S. HULL
Golden Text: “And He said unto
them, pray ye therefore the Lord of
the Harvest that He would thrust
forth laborers unto His harvest.”
Matt. 9:23.
The king’s heart was saddened by
the condition of the multitude who
were as sheep having no shepherd. It
was like a harvest ripe, but with
not enough laborers to gather it. So
He told His disciples to pray the
Lord of the harvest to thrust forth
laborers into His harvest. And in
answer to their prayers, He thrust
them forth. It is a great thing to
pray; it is dangerous unless you are
ready to help answer them if He
calls. So He sent them forth, for
they were willing, and gave them
power over pnclean spirits and dis
ease.
The Twelve Representative
It is interesting to notice the type
of men He chose and sent forth. It
gives us some idea of what His plans
are for us, for they constituted the
nucleus about which His church
grew. Note that they were no two
alike; that they were just ordinary
men such as you will meet today;
and that in sending them out, He
grouped them in twos, each pair be
ing complements. In the lists as
given us by all the evangelists, there
are always three groups—the first
headed by Peter, the second by
Philip, and the third by James
Junior. The order in the groups
varies slightly, but the grouping
here given by Matthew seems to have
been the usual one.
Peter —his nickname has become
the one which he is best known to
day—is always paired with his broth
er Andrew. Simon Bar-jonah, and
Andrew Bar-jonah—Simon and An
drew Johnson —were >opposites, as
though they were not sons of the
same father. Peter was impulsive
and unstabile. Andrew was cool and
calculating. Peter spoke first and
thought afterward; Andrew thought
first and spoke afterward. But if
Peter was impulsive he had initia
' tive; and it is better to do some
thing and make a mistake occasion
ally than not to do anything at all.
And when the Holy Spirit came upon
, him at Pentecost He sanctified that
j verv impulsiveness and initiative and
made him the leader of the group.
God needs cool, calm, thoughtful
men like Andrew as well as Peters,
and so the two opposites are sent
out together.
James and John McJabdi were the
other two in that group. Their fa
ther was in good circumstances and
their mother was an ambitious wom
an for her boys. They were both
hot-headed, and ambitious them
selves, and had a strong tendency to
look out for number one. James was
a good deal older than John, for
John lived for at least sixty-five
years after Jesus’ edath, and must
have been' very yoyng at this time,
while the other James was called
the younger (or junior) to dtftin
gu sn him from this older one or
James senior. James was the first
to die, John the last. God needs the
older and more mature ones, and
with them He must have also the
young and immature ones. It is no
ticeable that these sons of thunder
became the apostles of love. John
four times speaks of himself as the
disciple whom Jesus loved. but
never once as the disciple who loved
Jesus; but he wrote “we love Him
because He first loved us.
These four are best known —three
of them were most closely associated
with Jesus, and all four once.
Philip heads the next group o
four. He was paired with Nathanael
Bartholemew, whom he had brought
(o the Christ. Philip was dull but
loyal while Nathanael was quick
’ witted and with a tendency to skeptl
cism. When Philip told him of the
Christ, Nathanael asked, “Can any
good thing come out of Nazareth.
And all Philip could reply was,
“Come and see.” But Nathanael was
quick. It didn’t take but two ques
tions on his part to convince Inm
that Jesus was the Christ. God needs
both the man of slow wit and the
man of quick wit; and He sends them
out together. . .
Thomas Didymus, or the twin, ana
Matthew the tax-gatherer were the
other pair in the second group or
four From the fact that Thomas
is called the Twin and is always
grouped with Matthew, it has been
thought they were brothers. This
may or may not be true. Matthew
I alone is the one who speaks of him
self as the tax-gatherer. He never
forgets how low he had fallen when
i Jesus caled him; but the others
seem to have forgotten it m what
he became. These two were op
posites, too Thomas was an hon
est doubter. He was always ‘ from
Missouri.” and had to be shown; but
when shown he was out and out for
his Lord. Matthew was a man ot
fearless faith. When called, he left
everything he had—money and all
—and followed and then was fear
ess enough to invite his old asso
-1 elates to a feast which he was giv
ing to his new associate, in spite of
what they might feel or wv about
it. God needs the honest doubter
as well as the man of fearless faltn.
He sends them out together.
James Junior heads the third
group of four. He is paired with
Judas, not Iscariot, aIF the evengel
ists are careful to say. They were
also brothers, the sons of Al
phaeus (of Cleopos or Ciopo« as the
Greek form of the Hebrew Alphaeus
is written). James is called the
“Less” or Junior to distinguish
him from the other James, and Ju
das is called Lebbaeus Thaddeus or
' (the loyal hearted), to distinguish
: him from the traitor. They were
1 sons of Mary, the sister of the
Virgin Mary, and therefore first
’ cousins of Jesus (sometimes called
by Hebrew usage the brothers of
' the Lord). They too were opposites.
Both were authors of the epistles
which bear their names. James em
i phasize-d the practical side of right
eousness as showing the real life,
while Jude was stickler for the doc
trinal side. Both are needed by
God, the man of practical righteous
ness and the man of doctrine. They
are sent out together.
The last two are opposites—more
' so than any of the others--Simon
the Zealot and Judas Iscariot. .Simon
I belonged to a party whose motto
: was, "The Nation—at any cost.”
| When he became a follower of Christ
I that same zeal would have made his
j motto now, "Christ, at any cost.” On
the other hand, Judas Iscariot was
the only one who counted the cost.
He became convinced that following
Christ was too costly, so he sold
| out for what he could get. This is
the only kind of man God does not
need.
Their Commission
"These twelve Jesus sent forth,”
proving Himself to be the Lord of
the harvest (ch. 9:38). The King
is sending out His messengers, and
•they are commanded to preach tne
same message that Hi> rt?ld has
proclaimed, and ’lat He
Fat; spoken—“T.ie kingdom of tne
heavens is at hand.”
A study of the test of this chap
ter of Matthew shows us what their
commission was. Ordinaril v it >s
taken as genera], applying to min
isters and missionaries today. This
is not the case, however. In the
15th, 23d and 42d verses occur the
phrase, “Verily I say unto you,” and
this phrase ends each of three parts
of the commission, each of which
has its own characteristic. The first
part (vs. 5-15) is limited to the
house of Israel, and primarily for
the immediate the second part
(vs. 16-23) was for a later time and
was wider in its application, includ
ing the Gentiles also (v. 18) in their
ministry, for the apostles were net
persecuted until after Pentecost;
and the third part (vs. 24-42) is of
still wider application and includes
every servant of the King. A proper
appreciation of these time limits
and conditions will, guard us from
errors. >
For example, the special powers
to heal the sick and cleanse lepers
and raise the dead and cast out
devils were not given to missionaries
or the King’s servants today any
more than the instruction to confine
our ministry to the house of Israel.
Nor are missionaries to go out ex
pecting the heathen to whom they go
to support them. Jesus limited the
apostles then to the nation of Israel,
because it was to them He was offer
ing Himself as King. Therefore,
they were to preach, saying the king
dom of the heavens is at hand.
Therefore, they were to do the things
the King did —heal, cleanse, cast out,
raise—demonstrating His presence.
They were to limit their ministry to
Israel; therefore they were to make
no provision, but to depend on their
ow r n to support them. And if their
own did not, then it would be more
tolerable for Sodom and Gormorrah
in the day of judgment.
Later their massage was to change
—it was to be a “testimony” and was
to include the Gentiles. Associated
with this world come persecution.
In fact the Greek word translated
"witnesses” is the word from which
we get our work martyrs. This perse
cution would extend even into the
family circle, so that a plan’s en
emies should be those of his own
household. And this is true today;
after those who make it hardest for
the follower of Christ are those in
his own circle, instead of trying to
make it easier.
The twenty-third verse has puz
zled some. It is easy when one un
derstands Matthew’s Jewish trend
of thought. The rejection of their
King by the nation of Israel inter
rupted the work of the messengers. It
will be taken up again after the
church parenthesis (Acts 15:14-17),
and before it is completed the Son
of Man will come back.
In the meantime the proclamation
Is to be widened; what He tells them
is to be proclaimed on the housetops
where everyone can hear it. (Notice
the gradually widening circle —to the
lost sheep of the house of Israel
first, then to include the Gentiles,
now upon the housetops.) Persecu
tion, • misunderstanding—yes. The
servant cannot expect more than the
master. They call Him Beelzebul —
the dung god—they cannot do more
to His servants. But they are to
be comforted by three facts —their
relation to Him; their Father’s care;
and their sure reward.
Disciple, servant, they of his
household (domestic servants closest
to Him) —these are their relations to
Him their teacher, their Lord, their
master of the house. Surely to bear
such a relation to Him one might
endure anything.
Then their Father cares. Two
sparrows are sold for a farthing,
land five for two farthings, but the
i extra one that is thrown in for noth
ing cannot fall to the ground with
out our Father. It is worth His
'care. Surely they are too as worth
I more than many sparrows.
; And their reward is sure. Even
a cup of cold water given in the
name of Christ will not go unre
warded. "Verily I say unto you, he
shall in no wise lose his reward,
said Jesus. God will not let you
work for Him for nothing.
What matters .it then if you are
misunderstood, reviled, persecuted?
Fine Net Ruffles
On Handkerchiefs
The daintiest new linen handker
chiefs have net ruffles. The set is
embroidere dabout the edge with silk
the same color as the linen of the
handkerchief. Other handkerchiefs
are trimmed touches of embroid
ery ,and drawn work.
Irish Lace for
Household Linens
Irish lace is now making its ap
' pearance for household linens. Many
jof the new pieces show trimming
'of Irish crochet insertions, borders
and motifs. Irish lace launders and
wears exceedingly well, as well as
linen.
Fruit Pastes
Fruit pastes are made from the
i edible portion of fruit. which after
■ cooking has been passed through a
| sieve and cooked again until the ex
| cess water is driven off. Only a small
amount of sugar is required. A com-
I bination of different kinds of frui
pulp makes a ‘ delightfully flavored
paste, but peaches alone mr’ke a de
licious one. Canned fruit can also be
used to make paste. When the pulp
is boiled down until very thick,
pour it in one-half-inch layers on
marble or glass slabs or on a plat
ter. Place where there is a strong
circulation of air and allow th,
pas.te to dry for two or three days
When it is sufficiently dry. cut i;
into one-inch squares. Roll in granu
lated sugar and place again in
draft. Paste may be packed in tin
boxes, glass jars, or paraffin-coated
containers.
OJRHOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE QTHOMAS
SHADOWS
She came like a flash of sunshine,
The child from across the street,
Skipping around the corner
On trim little joyous feet;
I watched from my open window
The careless toss of her head.
And caught the sound of her pleading
“Mother, a piece of bread.”
But swift in the wakg of her sun
shine
What was it that came behind?
Shadows and phantoms of shadows,
Crippled and maimed and blind,
And what was the hollow thunder
That echoed the words she said?
Voices of starving millions,
"Mother, a piece of bread.”
Little gray ghosts of children.
Waifs from across the sea—
Armenia, Greece and Syria—
Spoke to the child to me,
Her little plea of hunger
A ready response will find—
But what of those other children
The shadows who came behind?
How we in our comfort forget things,
A wave of compassion and then
Back to our poor selfish interests,
Our own little troubles again.
Well, bask if you can in your sun
shine.
Oh, you who are sheltered and fed;
But I, I am haunted by shadows—
“ Mother, a piece of bread.”
—HELEN FRAZEE BOWER.
I wish that every mother who
reads this department would get
her children to memorize Shadows. 1
shall always be thankful to my
grandmother for teaching me “Three
Grains of Corn.” It is a glorious
thing to store away in early child
hood enough memories to sweeten
and to harmonize us when we get In
the world and find what beasts and
dumb driven creatures people can
become if they have not had human
izing teaching and Christian princi
ples rea’lly instilled into them in
early youth.
In many homes you will see the
cat and dog shy when the broom is
handled, and you cannot catch the
dog if you have a stick in your
hand. One cannot be a real Chris-
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME.
Will you please give me the fol
lowing advice: I am fourteen years
of age and am in the sixth grade.
Do you think I’m' very much behind
in my studies? I want to go to col
lege when I am sixteen, do you think
I’ll be ready by then? Do you know
of anything to keep the hands from
being red? My hands are real red
and wrinkled. Do you know a rem
edy for them? Y’our advice will sure
ly be appreciated. Please answer in
next Journal. ROY.
You will have to get a “hump”
on if you wish to enter college at
sixteen. You should have finish
ed grammar school at the age of
fifteen easily. Just pitch in and
study, and I am sure if you are
anxious to get to college you
will arrive there plenty early.
Use Hind’s honey and almond
cream for red chapped hands.
Wear your clothing fairly loose
on your body. Avoid tight gloves
and tight shoes.
I am writing you for some ad.vice
I am a married woman, have been
seventeen years, and am la trouble.
My husband is mean to me. I can t
do one thing to please him. I work
for peace and it looks like the more
I do the worse he does. He curses
me and the children and says he
is going to leave us. I have five
little ones. I have tried as hard
as any poor woman could to please a
man. He is good and kind to other
folks, but. is mean to his family.
; Never speaks a kind word to any
(of us. Well will close. Hope to
' see this in print soon. Will sign
my name.
FORSAKEN.
What a pity it is, that your
husband isn’t a man—just only
a brute. He is blessed with a
i wife who loves him and five
children, who would be a com
fort to him in his old age, if he
had a spark of decency in him.
Some one should take him out
in the back yard and kick him
around a few times to jar
some of the meanness out of
him. You can leave him. He
can be made to contribute to
the support of you and the
children, and it would be better
for you to leave him than to be
a slave to him and let him abuse
you the way he does. Don't ever
think you cannot get along with
out him, for there is help, and
a place for you in this world,
other than his fireside —to take
the bones he throws at you, or
life to that effect. Many wom
en have gone out in the world
and made a living for them
selves to a better advantage than
being; abused by a good for-noth
ing husband. •>
Here comes tw sister seeking
advice. I, Agnes, am fourteen years
of age, and in love- with a widower,
thirty-four years of age. He says
he loves me and has asked me to
marry him. He has two children. Is
it proper to let him kiss me? I do
sometimes. Do you think he- loves
me? Will Christmas be all right for
our wedding day?
I, Helen am eighteen years of age,
and am in love with one of my
first causins. Do you think it would
be allright for us to marry? He is
only twenty-two years of age, and
seems to Icve love me dearly. I don’t
feel like I can ever live without him.
Will it be proper for us both to
marry Christmas? Please print this
and let us know at once. We are
verv lonely.

tian and be unkind to dumb animals.
Aunt Julia is uoing splendid work
for all the world by teaching her Let
ter Boxers to be good to all dumb
things, to help the helpless and it
is not being good to a child to let
it have its own way, to let it scream
; or sulk until the family yield to its
whim. This I’fe is full of self
sacrifice or there would be no living
• here. Might is not monarch “Trust
in the Lord and do right” is what
we are taught in God’s own Book.
’ Have you at last come to wintry
weatlier? We had such a late disa
, greeabl’e springtime but October
made amends and the rain in No
vember has not been the cold pitless
sort we usually have at this sea
son. But when the wind comes
from th§ north and the little red
pigs began to frisk about I “feel in
my bones” that cold weather would
soon come. We do not burn a leaf
on this place, gradually I get them
in the hen house or hog house or
in sacks and use them all winter. I
cannot ask God to keep me in com
fort and not do as much as that
for the ca'ttle on the place. We have
fifteen Durocs that one registered
mother has given us this year, the
first bunch came March Ist and the
others are eight weeks old. That
nearly makes us “hog poor,” but the
meat hogs will soon be in the smoke
house and some of the older reds, so
I hope we can keep the tails and
ears of these youngsters. Register-
> ed hogs eat no more than scrubs and
certainly grow larger and a uniform
color and shape in a herd of hogs or
• cows is like the same color in one’s
i flock of poultry, it makes them show
up better. And as I finished the last
sentence my eyes fell, on my beauti
i ful white kittens, happy, one in my
lap as I write these lines and the
other in a chair as near as he can
get. I don’t enjoy handling cats, I
let them creep into my lap, but it is
not often that they get their fur
i rubbed. There is as much difference
in the disposition of cats as chil
i dren. One of these kittens follows
i me all oyer the place, the other at
i tends strictly to his own affairs. I
' wouldn’t know how to think if tne'
■ cats on the place were variegated.
