will make theo ruler over many things enter thou into the joy of thy lord matthew 25 21 analysis j the appointed task 1418 ii the reward of faithfulness 1923 introduction the parable of the talents sets before ui another side of the important duty oi watchfulness in the parable of the ten virgins it sras wisdom that was held up for our admiration the virgins were wise and brought oil for their lamps the il representing the quiet life of reli gious devotion here however it is the active side of watchfulness that is emphasized the interval is not to be spent in idle dreaming but in useful work the to parables therefore illus trate the character of the wise and faithful servant mentioned in matt- 24 25 this parable occurs only in matthew and is to be distinguished from the parable of the pounds in luke 19 12- 27 they are alike in that each refers to the i turn of the master but they differ in the occasion on which each was uttered while tl e rewards in the two parables diner also

rheumatism anaemia tuberculosis ear trouble orj a number of other common ailments j the fundamental cause of your trouble may be your teeth only in comparatively recent years j have medical scientists found this out and only a comparatively small num ber of people have learned to take- ad vantage ot this new knowledge in keeping themselves well j the mayo clinic whkh has won i fame all over the world for the high standard it maintains and the coui sclentious treatment it gives patients now insists that every person who j comes up for treatment should under go a thorough examination of the mouth no matter what disease is apl parent dr charles mayo once said that the j great mass of the peoplo of this gen eration would not die from one of the great plagues but that ninety out of one

radiologist was recently awarded prze of 40000 francs for her work care of such a reliable servant under the figure jesus represents his own ab sence he was going fcj leave his dis ciples in a short time and he would entrust them with these tasks which he wished to have performed v 15 the talent was a very large amount equal to about one thousand dollars while the pound in luke was worth about twtnty dollars in each case the servant receives a different amount showing that there is a var iety of service ex cted of each in the parable of the pounds the same amount is given to each servant it may be noted that the word talent has passed into our common speech from tb present passage- v 1g all go forth in different direc tions he that has four talents tra vels and invests his masters money to such good result that he is able to double the original capital the sec ond one though he has received a smaller amount yet gains a propor tional return a disciple with great er and a disciple with smaller endow ments labor n the lords work with equal love but ihe amount of fruit is greater where treated gifts and graces have been received and employed v 18 it was no uncommon thing for people to dii a hole in the ground and hide their money this third ser vant evidently had no courage no con fidence in himself and no adequate sense of the responsibility of his pos sessions he makes no attempt to cn- liance the value of his masters talent we are not to suppose that the person with the one talent is more apt than any other to neglect his gift the point is rather that faithfulness is ex pected from those who have few as well as from those who have many gifts ii the reward of 1923 v 19- as in the parable of the vir gins there is here also a reference to the fact that the return of jesus might be delayed in the later days of per secution when the disciples were suf fering from the cruel sufferings which they endured at the hands of their enemies the time must have often seemed to be very long many began to ask where is the promise of his coming v 20 each of those who had been faithful comes to report on the results of trading and they do it in the same i pliue word they evidently found much satisfaction in being able to give in so good an account if one has perform is inside the applicants mouth before they decide whether he or she is a good risk for a policy large indus tries employ dentists to examine the teeth of their employees and see to it that they have the best chance of highest efficiency through healty mouths it is therefore of thv highest import ance that we be most systematic in taking the very best care possible of our teeth and it will help us to do so if we know some of the reasons there is a world of truth in the old quota tion infected teeth are ii tenants but it is a poor law that fails to work both ways and while it is true that diseased teeth disturb the system so also is it true that a system that is not properly fed will bring about toothdecay therefore if you would have good teeth it is not sufficient that you keep them clean though this is highly important it is also neces sary that you choose your od care fully immigrants from

teeth do for us is to masticate our food this is more important than their appear ance or anything else- about them be cause mastication is the first step in digestion and unless the food is pre pared properly our digestive organs get out of order toothache whil about as unpleas ant as anything one can think of has its advantages because it is a danger signal and sometimes we are apt to be a bit

gradually undermining their health while they are not suspecting danger they reach middle ago and find that not only are their teeth getting past the stage of usefulness but their general health has suffered as well one ot tho most intelligent habits one can form it regular visit to the dentist every six months and the utmost co operation with him when we get there teeth properly and regularly brush ed will not decay unless candy is in dulged into in excess children can be saved a lot of useless trouble with their teeth if they are properly train ed in this respect they will not cravo candies unless they are allowed to havo them more than is necessary and a bad habit once formed is hard to break an adult who indulges in candies should do so during meal times can dies or sweets should not be taken between meals and if this is done the mouth should be rinsed out immedi ately with water to eat candies just before going to bed is the best way to encourage tooth decay and large

paul r hanson and the directors calls upon motorists to ob serve the rules of the road and help avoid confusion and accidents each year hundreds of minor and many major accidents and fatalities are shown to be the direct result of care lessness on the part of auto drivers and in an effort to reduce this high toll of property and life the club urges upon motorists to take a little extra car and help make the roads safer several simple rules easily remember ed and important to all users ot the highways have been formulated by the club as follows be patient a few minutes lost on the road is a small matter compared with a collision or some oiher sort of accident in which some one may be injured or killed and cars wrecked time is not so valu able as to call for recklessness never overtake another car unless the road ahead is cleaias this habit has been proved to be the cause of numerous mishaps never drive fast at a blind corner or crossing as a headon collision with a car going in the opposite direction or a meeting with a train is bound to be expensive in more ways than one both financially and physically care at curves always keep on your own side of the road when taking a curve give clear signals and know the proper one to give at the proper time this is only being fair to the others on the road be courteous bad driving manners frequently result in accidents and cer tainly do not pay in the long run take good care or lights see that both front and rear are always in good order and function according to the law this is good protection for your self and other divers have your brakes inspected regu larly and take no chances with faulty ones in the heavy traffic of the sum mer especially in the cities when it is necessary to stop very suddenly many times brakes which do not work are a menace instead of a safety measure do not overlook the horn there is a proper time to sound the horn and only at these times should it be used it can become a nuisance if used too often

article is written for rural people the question to be discussed is what is itural education first it must be stated that we have no class system in this country nor do we want any such system peasants may be all right in europe but we need citizens in canadt people who take an interest in the community and in the country the next statement is that because a child is born on the farm it does not follow that he has to stay there nor docs it follow that he must make tracks for the city as soon as he can the next point to be remembered is that our parents have lived honor ably on the farm they have raised their families cleared their farms built their roads erected their schools and have done a work that should be looked upon with gratitude and pride they met their problems with courage and resource and great as their hardships were they bravely and cheerfully faced them today conditions have changed en tirely we are immensely rich com pared with those pioneer forefathers we have comforts and easy methods of doing our work undreamed of by the early settlers our standard of living is much higher than theirs keeping these facts in mind we are now prepared to discuss what is itural education itural education is the training and development ot the child or tho adult to live usefully and happily in the walk of life which he chooses to follow these two methods of edu cation training and development should result in those two desirable ends usefulness and happiness any form of education that docs not have for its objectives usefulness and hap piness is a form that needs revision as an ideal of education develop ment of the individual child is very desirable but this type of education requires time expense and a great in terest in the child you cannot ex pect much more from the average teacher than tiiat they shall thorough ly teach the public school course of study and you may think yourselves fortunate when that teacher can also inspire the children with a real desire to learn a spirit of discovery this is no reflection on ontraio rural teachers they are a splendid lot of folk but the fact is that they have a big task to get through tho course of study in the time at their disposal to put life and eagerness into a group of youngsters some of whom may come from homes where hooks are seldom read is a task that taxes the resources of even the best teachers tl is agreed without argument that rural education should not be essen tially different from urban education both should cultivate the mind both should widen the vision both should teach a love for the beautiful and the true both should train for citizen ship tho difference between the urban and the rural curriculum should be one of emphasis certain subjects such as domestic science agricul ture manual training farm book keeping are of outstanding value and interest to rural people if they are efficiently taught a shoit time ago a prominent man in educational circles said that voca tional training had little value to thoso who go to the great factories becauso in this machine age the workers aro specialized to such an extent that tho expert may be trained in a few days or weeks this is not the case with ihe farmer who is daily finding that he must be an all round man hus bandman mechanic economist book keeper carpenter market specialist the day of scattering the seed and reaping the crop is past a thousand enemies are ready to devour his crop and cat up his profits becauso the farmers life has such varied interests and because farming conditions are changing so rapidly it is absolutely essential that rural bnys and girls be taught to love reading to ask questions to learn new meth ods to observe what successful farm ers do to keep an open mind that can see and know what are good anil prac tical ways of doing farm work all the certificates in the world cannot take the place of this spirit of inquiry much of the inspiration for this type of education must eone from ihe home the teacher cannot do it all she has her hands full a child is not likely to learn if he gets no encourago- ment at home lnst and by no means least rural education should train children to seo tho valuo and necessity of work thia cannot bo done if tho folk nt home tell tho children that they aro being given an education so that thoy win not havo to work as hard as their par
