Shires took his text for last Sunday evening's 'sermon from Matthew 65:14, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren. ye have done it unto me", He gave his talk on the rea- sons and claims why the meaning of Sexagesima Sunday should be laced before the congregations e explained tha aims and work of the Social Service which does in every instance the work which the Master set forth In regard to ministering to those in need in ev- ery walk of life. The Social Ser- vice takes care of those who meed its help, it gives the aid required to strangers and visits the prisons and hospitals, It tends to extend 587; Res. 84.

"The Social Service,' sald Rev, Shires, "claims, and has a right to claim as a part of a Christian en. terprise, the support which it de- serves. I know that here is a number of people in the church and out of the church who do not approve of work of this kind, but if they are looking up towards the hope of leading a Christian life, they must try to follow the Lord's example and sow the seeds of kind- ness, "Certain people who claim to be leading the Christian life and who think they are sowing the seeds of kindness which are much credit to them in the sight of the Lord," the rector went on to say, "are only moved in some cases by pity, and in others to relieving the stress of need. They rise to the oc casion and deserve credit. in fact they are given credit for their ace tions, but those who do these 1it- tle kindnesses with the object of love for their fellow-men, receive much more credit in the eyes of the Lord. "It is as though there were in- deed a Book in which all the deeds on earth are recorded," stated Rev. Shires, "and when the day comes for the final reckoning, the credits for these actions on earth are giv- en out. I think, don't you, that those who give their services kind- ly and with love in their hearts, are loved by the Lord. Those who give their services when occasion demands are philanthropists, men who love their fellow-men in the- ory only. "There are two great command- ments, to my mind, in connection with the present discussion." it was sald, 'and they are, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy Geod' and 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor'. The man who tries to live to the standards set forth in the Golden Rule will certainly receive his eredits, but there is a higher degree for which man should strive, and that is to administer to fellow-men with love as the basis for all actions." | (Oshawa and District O.N.R.

LADY | ------ wire un + By nine out of ten of the Mills- burgh people, the Interpreter would be described as a strange charac- ter, But the judge once sald to the cigar-store philosopher, when that worthy had so spoken of the old basket maker, "Sir, the Inter- preter is more than a character; he is a conviction, a conscience, an institution." It was about the time when the patents on the new process were fssued that the Interpreter -- or Wallace Gordon, as he was then known --- appeared from no one knows where, and went to work In the Mil, gers unrnnguishéd appearancd, hie evident culture, and his slightly foreign air, there were many who sought curiously to learn his hLis- But Wallace Gordon's his. . tory remained as it, indeed, remaing still, an unopened book, Within a few months his ability to speak several of the various languages spoken by the immigrants who were drawn to the manufacturing city caused: his fellow workers to call him the Interpreter. Working at the same bench in the Mill with Adam Ward and Pe- ter Martin, the Interpreter natur- ally saw much of the two famliiles that, in those days, lived such close eighbors, Sober, hard working, nodest in his needs, he acquired, luring his first year in the Mill, hat little plot of ground on the sdge of the clit, and built the tiny hut with its sigzag stairway, But often on a Sunday or a holl- day, or for an hour of the Inng avenings after work, this man who was so alone in the world would seek companionship in the homes of his two workmen friends. The four children, who were so much together that their mothers used to say laughingly thoy could scarce ly tell which were Wards and which were Martins, claimed the Inter. preter as thelr own, With his nove er-failing fund of stories, his In timate acquaintance with the fair. 'es, his ready understanding of their ehildish interests, and his joy- ous comradeship in taelr ports, he won his own peculiar place In their hearts, It was during the second year of his residence In Millsburgh that he adopted the dezf and dumb or- phan boy, Billy Rand. That such & workman should be- come a leader among his fellow workers was inevitable, More and more his advice and couneel were sought hy those who toiled under the black cloud that rolled up in ever-increasing volumes from the roarig furnaces. The accident which so nearly cost him his life occurred soon after the new process had take Adam from his bench to a desk in the office of the Mill. Helen and John were away st school, At the hospital they asked him about his people, He smiled grimly snd shook Pis head, When the surgeons were finally through with him, and it was known that he would live but could never stand on his feet again, he was still silent as to his family and his life before he came to the Mill, So they carried him around by the road on the hillside to his little hut on the top of the cliff where, with Billy Rand to help him, he made paskets and lived with his books, which he purhased as he could from time to time during the more profitable periods of his industry, As the years passed and the Mill, under Adam Ward's band grew in importance, Millsburgh experienced the usual trials of such industrial centres, Periodic lsbor wars alter- nated with times of industrial peace, Months of prosperity were followed by months of "hard tim- 25," and want was in turn succeed- +d by plenty, When the commu- oity was at work the more intelli- jent and thrifty among those who toiled with their hands and the aore conservative of those who la- bored fn buginess were able to put by in store enough to tide them over the next period of idleness and consequent business depression. From his but on the elif the Interpreter watched it all with never-failing interest and sympathy, Indeed, although he mever left his work of basket making, the Inter- preter was 8 part of it all. For more and more the workers from the Mill, the shops and the fac- '-ries, and the workers from the offices and stores came to coun- sel with this white-haired man in the wheel chair. The school years of John and Helen, the new home on the hill, and all the changes brought by Adam Ward's material prosperity iseparated the two families that had once been so intimate. But, in spite of the wall that the Mill own- er had built petween himself and his 01d workmen comrades, the chil- dren of Adam Ward and the chil- dren of Peter Martin still held the Interpreter in their hearts.

Not much! Not as long as there were automobiles like that to drive and clothes like those to wear while driving them! Little Maggie's pathetically serious eyes saw only the beautiful prin- cess of the Interpreter's story-- the princess who lived in a wonder- ful palace and who because her heart was so kind was told by the fairy how to find the jewel of hap- piness, Only this princess lady did not look ag though she had found her jewel of happiness yet. But she would find {t--the fairies would be sure to help her because her heart was kind. How could any prin lady--so beautiful, with such lovely clothes, and such a grand automobile, and such a won- derful servant -- how could any princess lady like that help having a kind heart! "Tom, send those dirty, impos- sible children away!" The man touched his cap and turned to obey. Poor little Maggie could not be- lieve. It was not what the lady sald; it was the tone of her voice, the exprossion of her face. that! Tart §0. The pfincess Indy wiust be very unhappy, indeed, to look and speak like that. And the tiny wisp of humanity, with her thin, stooping shoulders and her tired little face--dirty, half clothed and poorly fed---felt very sorry heeause the beautiful lady In the automobile was not happy, But Bobby's emotions were of quite a different sort, Sam Wha'ey won!d have been proud of his son had he seen the boy at that mo- ment, Springing to his feet, the lad snarled with all the menacing hate he could muster, "Drive us away, will yer! I'd just like to see yer try it on, Interpreter"s steps, If the Inter- preter lets us come to see him, an' gives us cookies, an' tells us stories, I guess we've got a right to ret on his steps If we want to." "Go on wid ye--git out o' here," sald the man fn livery, But Bob by's sharp eyes saw what tha lady in the automobile eonld not see -- a faint emi'e accompanied the chauffeur"s attempt to obey his or- ders, "Go on yerself," retored the ur- chin, deflantly, "I'll go when I git good an' ready, Ain't no darn- ed rich folks what thinks they's 80 grand---with all their autermo- biles, an' swell drivers, 'n' things-- can te!l me what to do, I know her--she's 0'd Adam Ward's daugh- ter, she is, An' she lives hy grind- in' tho life out of us poor work- in' folks, that's what she does; i | These hers are the Oshawa Luggage YOUR INITIAL FREER On Suit Onse or Club Bag Saywell & Son' BOND ST, WEST A moment later the young wome« an saw her car stop heside the won- dering children, With all his high- salaried dignity the chauffeur left the wheel and opened the door as it for royalty itself, The children stood as if petri. fled with wonder, although the boy was stijl a triflle belligerent and felts, . In his best manner the chauffeur announced, 'Miss Ward's compli. ments, Sir and Miss, an' she has ordered me to place her automo- bile at yer disposal if ye would be so minded as to go for a bit of a pleasure trip." "Oh!" gulped little Maggle 'Aw, what are yer glvin' usi™ said Bobby, The man's voice changed, but his manner was unaltered. 'Tis the the truth I'm a-tellin' ye, kids, wid the lady herself back there a¢ watchin' to sea that I carry out her orders, So hop in quick ond don't keep her a-awaitin',"" Gee!' exclaimed the boy. Maggie looked at her hrother doubtfully. *Dast we, Bobhy? Dast we?" "Dast we!--Huh! Who's afraid? I'l! gay we dast," Another second and they were in the car, The chauffeur gravely touched his cap. *"An' where will I be drivin' ye, Sir?" "Huh?" "Where is it ye would like for to go?" The two children looked at each other questioningly. Then a grin of wild delight spread itself over the countenance of the boy and he fairly exploded with triumphant glee, "Gee! Mag, now's our chance." To the man he sald, eagerly, "Just you take us a'l 'round the Flats, mister, 80's folks can. see, An'-- 'cause my dad and Jake Vode!l they | say so, Yer touch me an' yer! see what'll happen to yer, when I tel | Jake Vodell," Unseen by his mistress, the smile on the servant's face grew more pronounced; and the small defen- der of the rights of the poor saw one of the man's blue Irish eyes close elowly in g deliberate wink of good fellowship. In a volce too low to be heard distinetly In the sutomohile behind him, he said, "Yer all right, but fer the love 0' God beat it before I have to lay hands on ye." Then, louder, he added gruilly, "Get along wid ye or do ye want me to help ye?" Bobby retreated in good order to a position of safety a little way down the road where his sister was waiting for him, With decorous gravity the impos- ing chauffeur went back to his place at the door of the sutimo- bile, "Gee!" exclaimed Bobby "What do yer know about that! old Adam Ward's swell daughter s- goin' up to see the Interpreter, Gee!" On the lower step of the zig- zag stairway, with her hand on the railing, the young woman paused suddenly and turned about. To the watching children she must have looked very much indeed like the beautiful princess of the In- terpreter's fairy tale. "Tom--~" She hesitated and looked doubtfully toward the chil- dren. "Yes, Miss." "What wag it that boy said about his rights?" "He sald, Miss, as how they had just been to visit the Interpreter an' the old man give "em cookies, and so they though they was priv- jleged to sit on his steps," A puzzled frown marred the re- ally unusual loveliness of her face. "But that was not all he said, Tom." : "No, Miss," She looked upward to the top of the cliff where one corner of the Interpreter's hut was just vis- ible above the edge of the rock. And then, as the guick light of a smile drove awdy the trouble shadows, she said to the seryant, "Tom, you will take those children for a ride in.the car, Take them wherever they wish to go, and re- turn here for me. I shall be ready in sbout an hour" The man gasped. "But, Miss, beggin' yer pardon, ~~ the ear-- think av the uphojsterin'--an' the dirt av thim little diyils--begzin' yer pardon, but 'tis ruined the car will pe--an' yer gowns! Please. Miss, I'll give them a dollar an' *twill do just as well--think ay the car!" "Never mind the car, Tom. do as I say, please." In spite of his training, & pleased smile stole over the Irish face of the chauffeur; and there was a note of ungrudging loyalty and honest affection fn his voice as he said, touching his cap, "Yes, Miss, I will a different front. an', mind yer, toot that old horn good an' loud, so as everyhody'll know we're a-comin'."" As the au- tomobile moved away he beamed with proud gatisfaction, *Some swells are ®we--heh? Skinny an' Chuck an' hte gang"ll be plumb crazy when they see us, Some class I'll tell the world." "Well, why not?' demanded the cigar-stand philosopher, when Tom described that triumphant drive of Sam Whaley's children through the Flats, "Them kids was only doin' what we're all a-tryin' to do in one way or another," The lawyer, who had stopped for a light, laughed. "I heard the In- terpreter say ones that 'to live on some sort of an elevation was fo most people one of the prime rec essities of life.) "Sure," agreed the philosopher reaching for another pox for ti real-estate agent, "I'll bet old Ada: Ward himself {8 just as humac as the rest of us if you could only catch him at it." For some time after her ear, wit} Bobby and Mazgie, had disappeared in jts cloud .of dust, among the wretched bufldings of the Flats, Helen stood there, on the lowe: step. of the zigzag stairway, look ing after them, She was thinking. or perhaps she was wondering a )!t tle at herself, She might even have keen living again for the moment those old-house days when, with her brother and Mary and Char- lie Martin, she had played there on these same steps, Those old-house days bad been joyous and carefree. Her school years, too, had been filled witn de- lightful and satisfying activities. After her graduation she bad been content with the gayeties and tri- umphs of the life to which she had been arbitrarily removed by her father and the mew process, sand for which she had been educated. She had felt, the need of mothing more. 'Then came the war, and, in her brother's enlistment and in her work with the various depart- ments of the women forces at home, she had felt berseif a part of the great world movement, But now when the ictorious soldiers--bro- thers and sweethearts and husbands and friends--had returned, snd the days of excited rejoicing were past, life had suddenly presented to her It would have been hard to find in all Millsburgh, not excepting the mest wretched home in the Flats, 2 more unhap- py and discontented person than this young goman who was #0 un- animously held to have everything in the world that anyone could pos- sib'y desire.
