in k and play g as weli a figure the wonderful escape of isaac was a kind of parable illustrat ing tho fact of the resurrection scott application genesis has been called a folk- book and the story of abraham and his great adventure is rich in reli gious stimulus for us still we may learn such lessons as the following 1 all true religion is a growing ex perience abraham is commanded to leave the old customs and the tradi tional beliefs of mesopotamia behind him and strike out in search of a new and larger faith so we must make new discoveries in the realm of christian faith we must see more clearly that christs spirit is to reach everywhere and control every bit of our civilization 2 abraham illustrates the fact that life rests on faith rather than knowledge the old hero was to find god in the days ahead rather than in the past 3 god is always summoning us as individuals to new regions of faith new experiences of his grace the voice is an inner voice as it was with abraham we have no alternative we must obey as the typical pioneer did 4we may push off to new faith but most of all by the sight of the more independent children delightedly accomplishing the task of slipping on rubbers putting on coats and strug gling successfully with slippery but tons i but perhaps the games help most to develop unselfishness early in life j one needs to learn to share to be a j good loser to relinquish- smilingly to someone else and fopfive days a week kindergarten offers a splendid opportunity in a large group of children where each has equal rights the selfish child j comes to v the need of respecting those rights which he does by wait ing his turn and sharing with others and so the pictures songs stories games and handwork open up to him the world about him and lead him from

special long distance phone service for benefit of outoftown clients a dealer in implements told us the other day that it took twentyfive cents of every dollar of his receipts to pay his overhead expenses and yet says he lots of people think if we charge ten per cent over costs it is enough we suggested that this was a great time to put into practice methods that would tend to reduce that excessive overhead extravagant and wasteful practices in business have contributed in no slight degree to the high costs that are still agonizing the consumer perhaps some good may come from a

is responsible that no subject in agriculture is better adapt ed for presentation to school children than the study of seeds the collec tion identification and study of seeds gives scope for the training of a wide range of faculties and the intrinsic value of tho information so derived is of use in after life the seeds of weeds constitute one divison and in this connection a collection of weed seeds for illustration purposes is most important unfortunately as the pamphlet refers to further points out it is not difficult to make a fairly largo and representative collection of weed seeds
