Matt. 6:13-16; Acts 2:42-47
A'lamp with all its ornamental
beauty is’ not sufficient to adorn the
world with light until the little wick
within is connected with the oil.
•The Christian’s life must be filled
with the oil of the Spirit if he is to
shine for Christ, whose light he is to
reflect (Jn. 8:12).
The great secret of a continuous,
useful Christian life is to draw all
your power from Him who is “the
True Light." Let nothing break the
connections. Enter into thy secret
closet, look unto Him and be made
radiant (P3. 84:5).
This light is divinely placed (v. 14).
Lights are for pinnacles. Believers
are raised to "heavenly places in
Christ Jesus " God expects them to
live above the world.
There is something decidedly wrong
when a professed Christian dwells
in the dungeons of sin instead of up-
on the pinnacles of righteousness.
“Bushel" (v. 15) suggests com-
merce. For business reasons some
hide their lights. Mark adds, "un-
der a bed” (Mk. 4:21), suggesting the
ease and pleasure of worldliness
which dims tnany a testimony.
As sun, moon and stars were each
given a place in the firmament from
which to shine, so believers have a
place in God’s will from which their
light may radiate to best advantage.
Light is to be located where dark-
ness prevails or where special danger
exists. Christiana are movable lights
not part of a church chandelfer. What
a responsibility is upon the church to
send out the warning lights!
We are now given an illustration

lievers who were indeed connected up
Dr. Halbeck,*a missionary of the
Church of England in the south of
Africa, from the top of a neighbor-
ing hill, saw lepers at work. He no-
ticed two particularly, sowing peas
in the field. One had no hands, the
other no feet, these members being
wasted ' away by the disease: The
one who wanted the hands was car-
rying the other, who wanted the
feet, upon his back; and he again car-
ried the bag of seed, and dropped a
pea every now and then, which the
other pressed into the ground with
his feet. So they managed the work
of one man between the two. Such
should be the true union of the mem-
bers of Christ’s Body, in which all
the members should have the same
care one for another, laboring to-
gether with God.
Heart of the Lesson.
Dr. Torrey says in characteristic
fashion, “There does not seem to be
much connection between the title
given to this lesson and the lesson.
Forget it.” Two passages packed
with vital truth are, however, before

rightly distributed.
Salt will not keep meet from spoil-
ing if the meat is in the cellar and the
salt is in the attic.
The salt of Christian grace is sup-
posed to give good flavor to a life
so that that life can produce a good
effect upon its environment.
John Wesley said that when a man
becomes a Christian, his dog and cat
will And it out.
Monasticism is a mistake (Jn. 17:
15). We are so to live in the midst
of a crooked and perverse genera-
tion that men will be drawn to our
Christ. Those who will not hear the
Gospel preached should *t least be
given a chance to see it lived.
“Salt that has lost its savor is good
for nothing.” Who is more despised
than a professing Christian who has
lost the savor of Christlikeness ? Men
take delight in tramping such hypo-
crites under foot.
Not only are believers to be per-
meating influences like salt—they are
to be God’s lighting system!
LET your light shine! Don’t try to
MAKE it! Some believers make
more noise than light. It takes more
power to produce light than noise.

Themes on “The Piece
I Like Best, and Why.”
—by Pupils of Mrs. Abbie Hobgood.
‘The Scarf Dance’ was written by
a woman C. Charmanade. Its melo-
dy is very beautiful and reminds one
of things foreign. As I play it there
comes to my minds-eye the picture
of a Spanish festival. A courtyard
in some tropical place where every
thing is alive with bright colored
flowers and heavy green foliage. In
the distance are groves of orange
trees and large vineyards where peo-
ple are at work pressing the grapes
to make the wine. Such wine as I
now see upon the table within the
court. As my gaze comes back to
the festival I see women dressed in
their native costumes, their dresses
are of dark colors with trimmings of
bright shades and around their shoul-
ders are shawls of scarlet. The men
are wearing suits of black velvet and
around their waists they have tied
a scarlet sash. To my ears comes the
strains of ‘The Scarf Dance’ and I
aee them dancing very slowly and
with much rhythm. When this has
ended I begin to hear strains of oth-
er Spanish music I have liked and
from the Scarf Dance the scene
changes to the tango and the last
scene is the Valencia danced to the
strains of ‘Valencia’. I now wonder
where in Spain could such a beauti-
ful court be found since most of the
country is so rugged and worthless;
but I soon wander upon the right
solution and find the place to be that
sea coast town Valencia, the Los An-
geles of Spain.
I have always liked music that sug-
gested things foreign and that is one
reason why I like ‘The Scarf Dance’
better than any piece I have studied.
By this time it was growing late,
the sun sinking in the golden west.
We had walked many weary miles
shining brightly. The butterflies had
begun to flit from flower to flower.
We went down through the orchard.
Peeping over the fenoe we saw a
large yellow butterfly and we began

The piece I like best is “Chase of
the Butterflies” by Charles Dennie,
Opus (Work) 28, No. 4. This piece
is in four-four time key of G major
and changes one time into C major.
Most of the notes are eighths and six-
teenths. The theme begins p (softly)
and gradually works up to f (loud.
It reminds me every time I play it
of a butterfly chase I had one time.

Saturday morning, after feeding the
horses, cows, pigs and chickens, we
went back to the house where a good
breakfast of ham, eggs, sweet milk,
brown gravy was awaiting us. Af-
ter breakfast we asked Howell’s fath-
er if there was anything for us to do.
He gladly end to our surprise told us
we might have a holiday, so we de-
cided to chase butterflies. We made
some small nets and a small screen
cage to hold our butterflies. By this
time the sun was high in the sky and

them lazy, so we had no trouble in
catching them. We captured butter-

with black dots and all other colors
you can imagine.

And Groceries
Groceries are foods—that nourish and sustain the body. They must
supply the cells and tissues with energy and strength.
Groceries must above all be pure and rich in quality. So many stores
make a practice of underselling and handling so called “just as good”
brands. For standard well known quality products they will substitute
inferior products. We handle only the very best. Our groceries and every
thing we sell is highest quality—and priced as low as that quality will pre-
mit us to sell.
Our groceries are always fresh. Bargain sales help
to keep them so. And fresh groceries help us to keep
your patronage.
Thus, we both benefit. You get fresh groceries at a
special price, and we maintain your friendship and con-
tinued patronage.
