A day later she deposited another egg in the same spot. Court employees turned their backs on the anti- pigeon drive and provided a makeshift nest.

He had just got nicely launched iato a sales' talk on modern farm- lag machinery when the farmer held up his hand. He pointed down the field to where a row of open doora in a long implement^hed di- vulged a couple of tractors, a one- \way cultivator, a combine and other Undred faim machines. The -salesman was dumbfounded. Taking 'oR his hat to scratch his head, he exclaimed incredulously: "Well, what are you using this iball for?" The farmer gave the salesman a long look, spit over the plow- handles and said: "I jest want to hnprees upon this critter that -tfnve'a .other things in tile be- eides Tomanoe.'!" A boy .and his nu>ther stood look- ing at a dentist's showcase. "If I had to have false teeth, mother, Vd take thit stl," «aid the small boy, feinting.

Bob says â€" "Watch for John â€" he may be in this afternoon.'* But unless I happen 1o look out at exactly the right minute I won't know whether John comes in or not. That is what the wind does to a farming area. The men here are halfway through seeding. Probably they would have been finished except for being hindered first by rain and then a breakdown with the tractor. I shall be glad when they are through â€" all these rush jobs tort of keep everyor>e on edge. Lost time during seeding â€" even only half a day â€" can make a lot of dif- ference to the growth and harves- ting of a crop. Yesterday 1 went to Toronto â€" enough to see a friend in hospital and back again. It was my first trip this year. .\s usual I wondered how any one could five in the city.

Yes, there is plenty of op- portunity to see thrills and spills on a one-hour drive along our high- wayi. And yet, just the day before, we had been out lookipg at a car with the idea of making a purchase. As it happened the man who wanted to sell the car was away but came home while we were waiting. He came along the road driv ng at seventy or seventy five ni.p.h. â€" with the "rad" boiling like a tea- kettle. Needless to say we didn't want that car! But I guess we shall have to get one of some kind â€" a I'^'tO is about as much as our budget budget will stand â€" but not off the used car lot if w-^ can help it. Any offers? l)ur little halt-ton pick-up is the handiest thing to have around on the farm, but it is a long way from being a pleasure car. Last week I even had to take it ont once or twice with a barrel of fuel oil in the back! That is becau ; Bob uses the pick-up as a portable re- fuelling station for his tractor. Part- ner gets annoyed if lie sees me go out with the true' loaded- â€" but it doesn't worry me at all â€" just so long as I don't have anvlhing 'oily in the cab with me. Ax that I would draw the line. Otherwise I don't mind â€" I never have heen ever-burdened wiih false pride. On our way home from Toronto we came through one of those new housing surveys w her. a friend of ours is waiting for his new lionie to be completed. I suppose nlo^t of the houses that we saw were around nine or ten thousand dollars and a^ w-e looked them over I wondt-red how many of them would still be standing by the time they a ere paid for! Of course, they will have all the latest, built-in stream-lined conveniences which is what attracts people today â€" and one couldn't ask for anything nicer â€" if they are built 1,1 last. 1 wonder ... For my part I would sooner have an older house in a more settled area and fis it up to suit myself. But it is a good thing we are not all alike or there would be little e.xpansion or pro- gress in this world. Speaking of houses reminds me of the modern way of moving which I heard about only recently. Neigh- bours of ours are moving down to Montreal. I imagined them having an awful time packing and crating, ready for the job. To my surprise I learnt that the movers do it all and unless they do the packing themselves they will not accept responsibility for loss or breakage in transit. It seemed so strange to go ito a house, knowing the people were moving out and sec everything ttill in place, except the curtains! New Gadgets and Inventions You'll Probably Be Seeing ELECTRIC RAZOR.

The spirit trulv is readv. but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:38. "Gethsemane" will always be re- membered as the place of great agony of Jesus. Here bore upon Him the full realization of His mission. It was not the prospect of death thai brought the bloody tv. .-at to His brow, but the bearing of -. 'e sins of men. In this hour when He craved and needed human sympathy most, his disciples fell asleep. He asked them to watch and pray, but three limes He re- turned to find them sleeping. Said He, "The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is iveak.'' Je^us knew the truth of that tta.enient in His own experience. At fir-t He prayed, "O, My Father, if it l}e possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt." Here was a human shrinking from the bitter cup. The second time He prayed, "O. My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it. Thy will be done." Here is e.\emplified t'le triumph of the spirit over the flesh, .^t no time was there rebellion to God's will, but the flesh was weak. Later, angels minisiercd unto Him. When Jesi^"* faced this great crisis. He prayed earnestly. He gained strength for the trying hours of the morrow. If we would have poise and calm in life's strug- gles, we must learn to pray until we have found strength in God. We cannot think of Gethsemane without feeling a deep gratitude to Jesus Christ Who suffered so for us. He alone is our Saviour. "It was alone the .Saviour prayed In dark Gethsemane Alone He drained the bitter cup And suffered there tor me. Chorus : -Moiie. alone, lie bore it all alone; He gave Himself to save His own. He suffered, bled, and died a'onc. BITES Quickly take the "smart" out of STINGS A "^'^^f 'C'nc*. Insect « I law wo « ,j^^_ scratchesâ€" SCRATCHES '^'^^ °^- cbase-i ovi^MianriEa Ointment.
