So here you may lean how to exter- minate unwelcome visitors in the sha|M> of ants, beetles, moths, slugs, and the like. Not a pleasant task always, but it has to be done, and it's the woman's privilege to do it! Ants. Damp a sponge, and sprinkle it with sugar. Place it wherever the ants are, arid you will find it will soon become choked with them. PhiMg.' it into a gallipot full of b liliiig water, rinse and clean it, and reset until there arc. no ants left. Camphor on a larder shelf will always keep ants away from those parts.

The Prodigal Son (Tem- perance Lesson)- Luke 15. 11-32. Golden Text, Luke 15.18. Verse 11. And tie said This intro- duction separates the parable from the two preceding, and we cannot be sure it was spoken on the same occasion. ' However that may be, the connection in thought must be recognised by all those who read these parables, and it could not have a more fitting position than the one in which Luke has placed it, 12. The younger . . . said. Give me the jx>rtion of thy substance that falleth to me -The portion of the younger would be half of what the elder received, that is, oiie- t hi rd of the estate, if the father had but two sons (Dent. 21. 17). The younger sun's demand for his por- tion during the lifetime of his fa- ther wa.s unusual, but such cases were not unheard of in the East. And he divided unto them his living The father gives the elder sun his portion also, but he rcmai.is at home. 13. Not many days after, the younger son gathered his posses- sions together. He had already made his plans; now he carried them out. .Selling the land and turning everything into money, lie takes his leave, apparently not to return. Wasted his substance with riot- ous living -The youth knev nothing of the Jabor and self-d;M>ial with which the property had been ac- quired, and being away from the restrains of home and of those who knew him, he squandered the money as thoug'htlessly as he had acquired it. M. Began to be in want His as- sociates in his "riotous living" were not the kind of friends who would stand by him when his money was gone and be needed aaistance. 15. Went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country l''rom the luxurious quarters in which he had doubtless lived and entertained, he is thrust out to earn his food as best he may. Hav- ing no one to aid or recommend him. he must attach himself like a bund servant to a foreigner, \vh i nent him to feed swine- -to a Jew a most odious task and an abomin- ation, since swine were peculiarly unclean, Imth actually and accord- ing to Jewish ritualistic classifica- tion. 1(5. Husks that the swine did eat The pods of the carob tree, still found in Palestine and other Medi- terranean countries. No man gave unto him These people had no interest in a half- starved foreigner who could not earn enough to eat. Would the sons of many rich men to-day be as incapable of supporting t'htMn- selves if their money should be lost 1 17. When he came to himself His dissipation had shut out the thoughts of home. The loas of his money and his social degradation hud made him lethargic. Now that he faces starvation, lie arouses him- self, ami the thoughts of home bring a longing to return. Hired servants -Laborers who had no steady work, but were hir- ed during a busy neason. They were regarded much as tramps are regarded in our country, their po- sition being inferior to that of household slaves. 18. Against heaven That is, against God. The prodigal knew that misconduct toward parents was a sin utterly displeasing to God. 19. Make me as one of th'ne hir- ed servants His penitence is real. He asks this as a favor. It is so much better than his present l>osi- tion. 20. He arose He acts upon his resolution at once. He makes his confession and offers no excuse. 20. While he was yet afar off ^ his father saw him Was able to re- cognize his son even though cloth- ed in filthy rags. Was moved with compassion and ran and fell on his neck, and kiss- ed him The father's welcome is given before the son has spoken a word. The father does not know- in what spirit he has come ; it is enough that he has returned. 21. The son makes his confession as he had planned, but the father's forgiveness is so complete and his generosity so great that the son cannot meet it with a proposal to be made a hired servant. lid to his servants He speaks no word of reproof to the prodigal. Doubtless he recog- nizes the fact that the son has seen his own folly and learned his lesson. Hring forth quickly the best robe A long stately robe worn on cere- monial occasions. Put a ring on his hand Perhaps a signet ring, which gave the wear- er some authority in the house. Shoes on his feet Sandals, as were worn by free men. Slaves went barefoot. 23. Bring the fatted calf Doubt- less one being reserved for an ap- proaching feast. But to the father this occasion is of far greater im- portance than the feast. The remainder of the parable should not be overlooked either in private study or in class discussion. The attitude of the elder son to- ward the returning prodigal is in sharp contrast with the generous forgiveness of the father. Tower Dung-eon* Open Soon.
