After breakfast Willy Woodchuck wçnt out to thé woodpile. Such a big woodpile! But of course if you leave a week's work to be done in a day, that is not tbe fault of the wood- pile. Willy Woodchuck took up two or three chunks and chucked them through the cellar window. One of the chunks hurt his paw. - Perhaps he iad a splinter !^ He sat dowtt.fr a stump to look at iis paw. He took his knife out of his pocket. What are you doing?" asked Sammy Sammy Skunk. Now, Willy Woodchuck's mother iad told him never to play with Sammy Skunk, because Sammy Shunk's 'manners are had. Willy Woodchuck remembered at once. - "Nothing," he said. That's a fine knife," said Sammy Skunk. Willy Woodchuck opened his paw so Sammy Skunk could see. "My!" cried Sammy Skunk.

But as soon as the knife was in his paw, Sammy Skunk daughed and ran away. "Here,,that's my knife!" cried Willy Woodchuck, running after him. "Dd you want" to fight?" Sammy Skunk asked threateningly, as he stopped see, Franky Ferret's words, you were no better than hfs temper. • "You could hit most anything with that," said Franky Ferret. "Let's go hunting."

And he bit -Willy Woodchucl: hard, and put the sling, shot into his pocket, and ran away. Willy Woodchuck felt so-hurt that he cried all the way hack to the wood- pile .

"Ain'tfit a jim-hummer!" Charley Crow's words, you, see, were no more refined than his conduct "I bet you could do anything, with I a lunch like'that," said Charley TCrpw. "You could even fly." Flying had always seemed .wonderful .wonderful to Willy Woodchuck. He forgot Charley Crow's btid conduct. "It is hard?" he asked. "I should say not!" Charley Crow came down from the branch where he was sitting. "Why, I learned just as easy! All you do is,to stand on this stump--put down the sandwich and shut your eyes. Ready?"

Montreal, P.Q, -Reference, Union Blc of Canada STAMMERS Which of the many things calling us is of the greatest, importance ? If we treat all alike we are sure to have trouble. But if, with a little, prayer, we select the things that should be done at once, the things that count for most, we will make progress-and find the task easier than we anticipated. anticipated. And in this discrimination we must think, not of ourselves, but of the righteousness-which God demands. "Seek' ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." That is the guid- ing rule, and it never fails' to bring success when it is obeyed. The Worth-While Thing Poor Solomon tried all sorts of things and then cried out: "All is vain- ity" (Ecclesiastes, df). Job made meaning of life and gives us power to live aright. 'It removes the burdens and cleanses us from the stains of error. It assures^us of Christ's companionship companionship and help. It gives a vision of the final good and inspires us with the knowledge that life is not vanity, but an educàtion fitting ue for thp greater life to come. Christianity is our profession. It is the great power by which we measure words and actions. actions.

Then he stumbled over a forked stick. It was a perfect fork for a sling shot. And he had a piece of rubber right in his pocket! He sat down on the stump to fasten the rubber to tae forked twig. "What are you doing?" asked Franky Férret. Now, Willy Woodchuck's mother had told 'him never to play with Franky Ferret, because Franky Ferret's Ferret's temper is bad. Willy Woodchuck Woodchuck remembered at once. "Nothing," he said. . "That's a fine sling shot you're making," making," said Franky Ferret. Willy Woodchuck opened his ~pa*v so Franky Ferret could see.

But at last, long | after dark, the last piece went through : the window and his work was done. And that is how Willy Woodchuck learned a very useful lesson.

We are to live not result: "The fear of the Lord, is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding-" (Job, x*viii, 28). Evidently, then,< Christianity is the first worth-while thing, for it gov- *erns all "else when oirce it ia observedi It brings -us to God'and shows_us the fof ourselves but for others, arid wè are.laying ..up treasures m héaven when we serve one another'. Even a cup of water given in Chrikt's name is not-forgetten of God. There is a strict line" of distinction between -self- interest and fellowship. If I think of myself in all that I do I àm unprofitable unprofitable in my life: I save myself by using myself for the common good, Even "the things that seem selfish and have to do with my own person have:a common interest. Christ expressed expressed this when in His. great prayer He said : "For their sakes I sanctify Myself." My eating and drinking and sleeping are not a part of self- indulgence when rightly understood, as I have mine.
