The Horns "Mid pleasures and palaces, though wo may roam, Be It ever no humble, there's no place like home." Home life Is the fiame the world o\ r. It means the living together of: members of families, each borne a small world In its. -If. , A mother, after bringing up a Inrge family, said after visiting them In their respective homes, "Although they are all my children, each home j Is as different as can be. I don't see where they all came from and why j their homes are not more alik . when they were all brought up under the same roof." Yet there is a similarity. | The stamp of the teachings and lives of the parents Is Indelibly marked on the future lives of their children In a more or less degree. In the homo aro taught the first \ ways to work, how to do things efttlrl- 1 ently and wll. If one can also secure Inspiration It Is surely a havon from which much K"od will come. It Is the place where the best as well as the worst in seen, where toler-| ance and unselfishness make for the! happy home ayd where thoughtless- ness and unklndncsH make for the un- happy home. Naturally because of the closeness and Intimacies of home life, controversies will ari.se. "Tell me what you quarrel about and I will tell you what you are," was the pointed title of an excellent magazine article. Then wo mothers must make the home beautiful and comfortable for our own. \Vo should study color to bave the rooms restful and harmoni- ous, study foods and their values to k'-'-p the body healthy and study home economics in all its phases to make It truly successful. One enters one house where all may bo beautiful but It lacks the atmosphere of home. In another Is Immediately imparted to one the friendly warm atmosphere of the perfect home where Joy and love reign supreme. It Is here the young must be taught tho first great lessons of life under the linn hand of the ones who love them the best, and It surely depends on the kind of homes we give our children as to the kind of citizens our boys and girls will become.

Furs and heavy coats are brought out after their long rest in their moth bags; they are examined and brushed and their cosy warmth feels good. The furnace, long since black and cold, Is sought to cheer the rooms with heat. H Is well to remember the import- ance of having sullicient moisture in the closed up rooms; artificial heating needs artificial moisture to keep the rooms right. This can be done by having water paiis attached to tho ra- diators or on or near the hot air regis- ters, as well as keeping the furnace water pans filled. The singing of the tea kettle as it sends forth its steam might well keep up its song, at the same time giving off (steady curling streams of moisture. Dry air Is hard on the nose, throat and lungs, and It Is a fact that one feels comfortable in a much lower temperature If there is proper humidity in a heated room. A quick change of air every few hours by opening the windows for a few minutes Is also a good practice and It Is surprising how quickly the fresh air will warm up again and one feels a new sense of comfort, because of the oxygen admit- ted.

If there Is no chance for them to sell flowers, magazines, papers or any other article pay them for helping in tho garden, around tho house, with tho dishes or cooking.

Mid climbing te-its, ilic trials included an elaborate demon- stration of aerial acrobatics, indicat- ing that the system is being studied with an eye to incorporating it in military planes. Water-cooled airplanes usually on- counter criticism because of the weight of the water which musi be carried and tho vulnerability of the plumbing and the large rt.diator in atr fighting. After two yea TO of research tho *' tn hasJ)ccn developed to its final design by the Kairey Aviation onipnny. A steani-foolcd engine, it is reported, T.ecds much less water than the ld type water-cooled engine. The con- densers employed are smaller than the water radiator, and little damage would be done if the system should be | pierced by a bullet. The puncture would result only in the escape of a thin wisp of steam. Similar damage to a wnrter-cooled system would be fol- lowed by a rapid loss of water and the plane would seen be deprived of its motive power through he a' seizure of tho engine. The interest which the British Air Ministry has shown in this develop- ment and other recent aircraf. innova- tions indicates a new trend period.

It's Unnecessary "My, but I will be anxious until 1 get a letter from you telling me you aro safe at home," said Mrs. Martin as she bid her sister and her two children good-bye at the station. "Why worry?" exclaimed her sister. "1 will telephone you from the Junction when we change trains, and again the minute we get home." "Indeed, I forgot all about the telephone, Maggie," said Mrs. Martin. "Instead of worry- ing. I will be listening for your call. It really takes the heartbreak out of saying good-bye, now that w can talk to one another so easily by tele- phone." The telephone calls were made as promised, and Mrs. Martin's sister was so Impressed with tha courtesy of the Bell Telephone operator at the bi? city terminus that she wrote the station mailer, saying In part: "I was passing through with my two children, and had occasion to use the telephone. The young lady on duty was so courteous and nice to me. Not-hing seemed to be a trouble, and she not only took my message but directed me to the stores during my wait. Altogether, I had a most de- lightful Journey, due largely to the kindly assistance of the telephone operator." Sunday School Lesson November 2.

INTRODUCTION Sinio 1'ttcr ap- pears in the (iospel according to Mark first of all as a fisherman with his brother Andrew, at the sea of Galilee, casting a net in the sea. Jesus callsd them to follow him and they left the nets and lollowed. It is quite evident from this .story that they had known Jesus before and hud listened to his teaching. They were, therefore, in some measure prepared for the call to full disciplcship. This harmonizes with the story told in the Cospel of John, according to which Andrew was n disciple of John the Baptist to whom John pointed out Josus, calling him "the Son of (Sod." Andrew then fol- lowed Jesus and brought to him nisi his brother Peter, John 1 : :5-42. They had apparently been disciples of Jesiis for a time during his early ministry, had then returned to their home in Capernaum, and were now called to bo permanently with him. In Mark's list of disciples Peter is given first place (3: 13-19), as also on Matthew (10: 2-5) and I,uke, 6: 12-16. He was one of the 'hree, Peter, James and John, who seem to have formed nn inner circle about the Master, and whom he brought into a closer intim- acy with himself. I. A fiRKAT CONFESSION, Mark 8: 27-29. It was well on in tho second year of Jesus' ministry in Galileo that ho came with his disciples "into the vil- la git of Caemrca 1'hillipi," on the southern slopes of Mount Hermon. This is where the modern town of Banias now stands and is a place at' great natural beauty situated more than a thousand feet above the level of the sea. Here Jesus appears to have sought retirement and opportun- ity for closer conversation with his disciples. A crisis in his ministry was approaching. Believing that he was the Mesgi"h, the Kin.,, the Sa- viour, predicted by the prophets and long looked for by the people, he knew that the public announcemen. of this fact could not be much longer delayed. He had been preaching the coming of the kingdom of God. Now he must declare himself as King. Would the people accept him? Would the multi- tudes who had been thronging about him acknowledge him as King and Lord? Could he rely upoa his little band of disciples to stand by him? Knowing now full well that the malice of his enemies would not stop short of his death, he must have desired f o know how such an announcement would affect their minds. The an- nouncement, he felt, nust bo made in order that the T.inds of his discipbs might be prepared for such a tragedy and that they might be assured that this wus not the end. The answer of the disciples to Jesu-.' first question (\. 27) reveals to us something of what was being said in tho t"\vns and vi'lages of Galilee abovit him by those who had listened to his teaching. One of the great prophets of a former age had come to Ufa again, they said, or it was John the Baptist escaped from Herod's prison, and not really dead as had been reported. But the answer of Peter to hij secon-1 question (v. 29) must hr.vc greatly nlcnsed him. Peter, believing his b: 1 - joved Master to IK? indeed the prom- ised King and Savior, the Messiah, the Christ, speaking f or all the dis- ciples, made his great confession "Thou are the Christ." First of that great company of confessors, who would through the coming centuries believe and declare their faith in him, Jesus saw in Peter the living rock upon which his church would be built (compare Eph. 2: 20-22). So it has ever heen. The strength of the church has always lain in the steadfast faith of believing souls instructed bv thf Spirit of God and confessing Christ before the world. II. A CNF AT DENIAL, Luke 22: 31-31; John 18: 25-27. AH four Gospels tell of Peter'* de- nial. Like the other disciples he had fl-^ from the scene of the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane. But his flight was only for the moment. John tells us that Peter and another disciple fol- lowed Jesus, 18: 15-16. One .an im- agine the state of mind into which they had fallen. Peter was no coward. In the garden he had drawn his sword ; ' had struck a blow in defence of his Master, in spite of the fearful odds hich were against im. But Jesus had bidden him put up his sword. His whole being must have been aroused in flaming protest against what he saw his Lord whom he had confessed now helpless in the power of his en- emies. If Peter could have led the band of disciples in battle for Jesus to attempt his rescue there would have been no denial. But unable to do any- thing, for the momen', only his faith failed. He denied his Lord. 111. A GREAT LOVE, John 21: 15-17. The true disciple appear again in Peter's reconciliation and forgiveness. His deep nnd abiding love for Jesus prevails. His final commission from the Lord is to be a shepVerd of the flock of Christ. |M ,, Echoes Echoes of Summer reach my heart to- day, Like mystic music, borne from the far- away; Elusive strains like, wind o'er waving wheat, Bird voices vibrant In the summer heat. Sweet spectral music from days dead and dear. Thin, phantom strains that but the heart can hear. Faintly the echoes comn, then die away. For Summer Is a dream of yesterday; No moro she strays o'er field and hill ami plain Where Autumn flaunts her robes of crimson stain: In vain wo seek for Summer's robes of light- She's passed beyond tho range of hu- man sight; And only echoes reach the heart to- day Hchoos of footsteps that have passed for aye.

A marked increased In train speeds with aJ-i :d attention to the comfort art! convenience of passengers' accommodation will b the answer of the railroads to com- petition of automobiles and air- planes. 'ihis impending development, de- tails of which are already bslng plan- ned by rail systems of this contin- ent, along with the important part played by Canadian and United States transportation companies in support- Ing the social and moral structure of the two countries, was emphasized here recently by Sir Henry Thornton, chairman and president of the Cana- dian National Hailwys, in his ddress before the seventy-fifth annual dinner of the American Association of Pas- senger Traffic Officers. "A new competitor is challenging the railroads, said Sir Henry to his international audience of traffic lead- ers, in reference to the airplne. "We will have to meet that by increased speed and with the safety facilities at our disposal. The time of land travel between London and Paris already compares measurably with that \>* aJr. At the game time we are con- fronted with the mecesslty of mak- ing travel by rail more agreeable and comfortable by attention to proper heating and cooling, and progress along this line is rapidly being made. Train Requirements "Train travellers should have facili- ties reasonably equivalent to those provided by ocean liners when under- taking a journey across the contin- ent," declared Sir Henry. Shower baths, moving pictures, gymnasiums, are among the require- ments of this sort now being supplied by some transcontinental trains. Dealing with the function of tha great railroad organization as a force for law, order and social well-being. Sir Henry pointed out that "by good will, sympathy, recognition of eco- nomic principles, by a desire to serve, we, in the transportation industry, are making notable contributions to our respective countries. By com- pliance with the rules of our own groups, we encourage obedience to the laws of our countries." Nations of World To Race in Air Millionaire Donor of Prize to French Fliers is Backer Boston.

He said he had been in conference with M. Laurent Eynac, French Minis- ter of Air, and that they had formu- lated plans for the meet, which would feature speed and endurance tests. He said he had received the assurance of Great Britain, Canada, Germany. France, Portugal and the United, States that they would participate. What is it that goes upstairs on Its head?
