THE PRAYER COMER THE HEAYENLJNESS OF A LITTLE CHILD (Matthew 18:14) In my readings on Sunday morn ing I was attracted by the beautiful thought above, and said to myself, *T will take that for The Prayer Corner this week. May you enjoy it, my dear readers, as much as I did and MORE. The disciples had come to Jesus with the question "Who is the great est in the Kingdom of Heaven?" He spoke so often of the Kingdom; to them it suggested the idea of power and glory; they could not but wonder who would have the highest place. How utterly strange and incompre hensible must have been the answer Jesus gave to their question! He called a little child and set him in the midst of them. He told them that as !'>ng as they were thinking of who would be greatest, they could not even enter the Kingdom, they must first BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN, and then in the King dom the humblest and most childlike would be the highest. How wonderfully applicable to parents is what .lesus spoke to His di*.*i|i!es. In creating a family with f:- !ier and mother, God sets a little el .'.1 in the midst. And in that lit ti i-hild He opens to them the mys t< ? of the Kingdom of Heaven, and th spiritual world. He tells them, th ii' they want to know about H ven. and what will prove their fit ,'Ss for the highest places, they must study the child nature. On eaith they will find nothing so heavenlike as a little child. "The hcavenliness of the little fhili!! Wherein does this consist'.' Our .iviour uses ONE WORD, 'Wli... n ver shall HUMBLE himself as this little child, the same is great est i:i the Kingdom'. 'The greatest will be he who thinks LEAST OF BEING GREATEST, because he loses sight of things in seeking God and His Kingdom'." Th" great beauty of childlikeness is the absence of self consciousness. The triii 1 hild loses himself in that which i-- around him. The curse of sin is that it makes man, EVERY MAX, his own centre; even when he seeks the Kingdom of Heaven he is still thinking how he can be great est in the Kingdom. ?in the TRUE CHILD self does not yet manifest itself: it lives and is at rest outside of itself in the par ent. It loves and rejoices in being loved; it is truthful and trustful to all around, showing ilself as it is counting upon others to be what they appear. This naturalness and simplicity of the child, Jesus tells us, is something heavenly, the thing in ' nature most allied to the Kingdom. And the lesson we need to learn is ! that there is nothing a parent should .r;ek to preserve and cherish more, carefully than this heavenly child-, likeness! It is the secret of that beautiful calmness and serenity ; which is the image of the peace and the rest of heaven. The spirit of the world is the very ; opposite, with its rivalry and its am bition, its seeking excitement and possessions, it destroys all that is leautiful and heavenly in the child to make way for the show and self seeking that are its marks. Espec ially Christian parents who have '!m means for gratifying taste and pleasure at their disposl are in dan ger of destroying the simplicity and tenderness of the child life by stimu lating the desires which are of the earth and draw thither. And so, in the midst of a great deal of Bible teaching and hymn singing, the very heart of true religion may be eaten out by the artificial and \inchildlike spirit of the homes in which chil dren are reared, (to be continued) A PRAYER D'essed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest, and cur eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child. Lord Jesus, we do ask Thee for a child like spirit. May the simplicity and restfulness, the love and the loveliness, the trustfulness and truthfulness of the child nature so dwell in us that in intercourse with us the heavenly childlikeness of our little ones may not bo lost, but cher ished and maintained through ad vancing years. Give us to feel very deeply that we cannot truly fulfil our parental calling except as in simplicity and godly sincerity our walk with God be that of little chil dren. Dear Lord make us as little chil dren, for so only can we hope to see Thee face to face. Let not the strug gles of life weaken our faith, and let not human trials destroy our love. In all our work may we hear Thee giving Thy blessing, and in all our worship may love and faith hold us. Amen. ? C. D. C.

DAVIS-LONG DRUG C., Agent, j DOGWOOD BEAUTIFUL BUT ALSO VALUABLE The dogwood tree adding so great ly to the beauty of N" :th Carolina forests may be harvested as a crop without destroying the beauty of the landscape. This is the opinion of R. W. Grneber, extension forester at State College, who was recently requested by an official of the State Federa tion of Women's Clubs to aid in the movement to prevent the destruction of dogwood trees. This official ex pressed great concern because of the dogwood tree being used for com mercial manufacturing purposes. "Dogwopd in bloom presents a !>? mtiful scene," says Mr. Graeber. "So does a field of golden grain; but. we do not ask the farmer to re frain from harvesting his wheat crop. A new crop will take its place next season. The same thing applies ^o dogwood. It is a commercial ne cessit, supplying wood from which shuttles are made for use in weaving cotton, silk or rayon. No practical ub^titute for this wood has been found, but since trees less than five inches in diameter are not merchant able. the owner leaves his younger and more vigorous trees for future crops. This means that there will be left plenty of dogwood to add beauty to our forests in the future. The tree seeds freely and reproduces from sprouts and suckers. When one tree is cut, several take its place. In the management plan advocated through out the state by Mr. Graeher, dog wood is left protected as an undev story beneath forests of pine, oak hickory and other larger trees. It is shallow rooted and does not interfere with the growth of the deeper rooted trees. Mr .Graeber says that dogwood grows on 87 different soil types in North Carolina but only on a few docs it produce wood of commercial quality. In such areas it is protect ed by the landowners. HALF PRICE Save money all year! "Gold Ribbon" Brand Coffee and Chicory has twice the strength of ordinary coffee and you use only half the quantity to a cup. When you buy a pound of "Gold Ribbon" Blend, it's like buying 2 lbs. of ordinary coffee ? and it tastes better too. EGGS AiD HEALTH, SAYS FOOD EXPERT Egps rank high in the list of foods to he included in a well selected diet. The yolk is a gold mine of health and the white is almost a pure protein food. "When we use eggs in the diet, we are availing ourselves of one of Nature's richest storehouses of food," says Miss Mary Thomas, nutrition specialist at State College. "Not only does the yolk contain a fine quality of protein and fat for building ma terial and energy, but it also con tains a rich store of minerals and vitamins, necessary for growth, health and vigor. The egg yolk is one of the richfest sources of iron so essential in making red corpuscles in the blood. This yolk contains the vitamins A. B. D and E. It is par ticularly rich in vitamin A needed .for growth nnd for building up re sistance to pulmonary diseases." Miss Thomas says also that egg I yolk is the best of all common I foods for vitamin D which is now known to be necessary in building strong, straight bones, sound teeth and to prevent rickets in children. Formerly it was thought wise to substitute other less expensive foods SUMMER PEOPLE ARRIVING AT THE SAPPHIRE INN Recent arrivals at the Sapphire Inn include: Mrs. J. C. Gilchrist, Cleveland,' Ohio; Miss Marie Gilchrist, Cleve land; Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Moore, New York City; Dr. R. C. Weaver, Gaston Meares, Asheville; Prof, and Mrs. Donald B. Roderick, Clemson, S. C. Five hundred head of fat hog? have been shipped to northern mark ets by Cumberland county growers this spring. for eggs in winter when they are high. This is a mistake, says Miss Thomas. Eggs contain such vital food elements that every effort should be made to include them in the diet at all times. Particularly is this true of small children. She rec ommends that the babys diet include some egg yolk each day and that the child two years old and older have at least one egg each day. Eggs are easily and quickly di gested if cooked so the protein is not toughened or coated with grease. To cook eggs well they must be cook ed at a low temperature, that is, below the boiling point of water, and (cook them for as short a time as pos sible, advises Miss Thomas.
