THE PRAYER CORNER ? THE HEAVENLINESS OF, A LITTLE CHILD Matthew 18:4,5. I begin with the closing paragraph oi' last week's Prayer Corner on the above, on "the first lesson parents must ieain." Parents, make a study of it, to find out what the thought of Jesus' heart was when He spoke so strongly of the need of being childlike as the only path to Heaven and Heavenly Great ness. Value the childlikeness -and simplicity of your little one, as its Heavenly Beauty. Realize that the little one in its tender susceptibility of impressions is nil alive to what surrounds it, to the fostering in fluence of the Heavenly Life or the ?> withering effect of a worldly life. Be lieve that between the Holy Spirit, who brings Heaven down to us, and reveals it within, and the Heavenli ness of childhood, there is a wonder ful suitableness for each other. Train your children in that holy happy stillness which keeps the heart open to His workings." But how shall the parent succeed in doing this? Our Lord's words have a second lesson. If you are to watch over the heavenliness of your chil dren you must yourselves be child- ; like, and heavenly minded. Christ put a little child in the midst of ; strong men to teach them. Parents often owe more to the teachings of their children than these to them, your children lose childlikeness too I soon because parents have so little ; of it. The atmosphere of the home ' is so little that of simple, happy, i trustful living- in the Father's pres- ! ence. Amid many of the proprieties of religion the spirit of the world too often reigns. To be great in the ; Kingdom of Heaven is all too seldom j the object of earnest desire. To be | the greatest, as Jesus puts it, by be- [ ing humble and childlike, the ieast, j and the servant of all. this is hardly dreamt of. No wonder if parents, instead of maintaining and strength ening the spirit of the child and of i . the Kingdom, hinder and quench it. Let parents study to be childlike. There are very few studies more dif ficult; very few that will bring a richer reward. The little treasures entrusted to you have a higher worth than you know; their very littleness, of which you often think only in con- j nection with their weakness and < their future value, is what to Him. I who looked at things in the light of j God. constitutes their' greatest at- ; traction. It is only the childlike | life of the parent, living in great : simplicity of truth and trust with the Father in Heaven, that can maintain | the childlikeness in the child too. (To j be concluded next week.) A PRAYER ({'.?? the Prayer for last week, ad- , (ling this to it:) Heavenly Father, help us to learn the Second Lesson of our Lord's words, that if we, as parents, are to watch over the Heavenliness of our KILLS RATS and Mice, that's RAT DIE the old reliable rodent destroyer, comes in powder form.

Teach us the needed truth that though few studies are more difficult, but :few will bring a richer reward. Bring home to our hearts the abiding faith that the lit tle treasures entrusted to us have a higher worth than we know, that their very littleness, of which we of ten think only in connection with their weakness and their iuture value, is what to Him, who looked at things in the light of God, constitutes their greatest attraction, and that it i is only the childlike life of the par ent living in great simplicity of truth ; and trust with the Father in Heaven i that can maintain the childlikeness in . the child too. Never, oh never, let us pause un- | til we have learned and put in prac tice this vital lesson of our Lords, j that if we are to watch over the i Heavenliness of our children we must i ourselves be childlike and Heavenly i minded, and the praise and the glory , shall be given unto Thee, Father . Son and Spirit, now and ever. Amen, j ? C. D. C. j ORR CORNER NEWS i V j Well! We are going to have a I paved road through our community aftei all.

First, that it is very easy to waste 1 nickels in the Pennsylvania Railroad Booth. Second, that on going from 33rd Street to an Eastside apatment ( n 29th Street, it was most curious , now many different trips it took your nostess to reach the different tele phones connected with her apartment. We must state right here that ev erything in New York from calls to | :!inics absolutely must be by appoint ment only. We forgot to say that we left B re gard on Saturday and arrived in New York on Sunday afternon. We had already, by mail from Brevard, made 3ur appointments for the following Monday, one professional, one per sonal. The professional one was easily made from the station, the recipient aeing at the other end of the tele phone wire. The personal one was suburban, that is, in Greater New York. Then aegan what we soon called "trouble." 1st, Hall phone; 2nd apartment phone ; 3rd, time for a leisurely warm aath while the Borough Centra! was i making up her mind whether she would answer you or not. False ilarm; rushed to hall phone in bath robe; wrong number. All to do over igain. Our retirement in abject des pair. Hostess heroically starting all n-er again. Gloom. Hostess' efforts rewarded; callee was out. We proceed via Lexington surface :ar to our own hostess' apartment, first having been what Brevard talis a "pop call" but to temporary hostess spelled simple tragedy because she iwas caught shampoing her lovely ,smokey black bob. Our own private apartment phone !at last. We sat down in joy ar.d gladness, we arose in sorrow ;:nd des pair. Literally we would have burn ed the insulation off the to!apii . -/* wires if Polly Jerome had given is such service. Nothing that busiest summer morning could pos sibly offer could remotely compare with it. We waited until our hostess went to business at precisely 8:50 a.m. be fore we dare wrestle with the blessed thing again. Here is exactly what we finally were sweetly taught by "In formation" to do. (We got to be quite good friends, we and Information) First, you take off the charming French receiver; then you dial 0, then you put back the receiver, then (we think) you dial the first two letters of the exchange, then you dial the figures. Then you forget and inad vertantly touch the standard of the telephone, which spills the beans en tirely, and you have to start all over again. It took about three attempts to find out what we were doing that was all wrong. Then, after your first mistake, Cen trals calls you darling and you call her sweetheart. At mistake number two she calls you lambkin and you call her "best beloved" and she laughs. Actually, a New York ex change girl allowed herself to laugh out loud, we hope the inspector was not watching her. Next, something was burning on the gas stove, where we were trying to get our noon dinner and we gave up. End of a perfect day.
