There have been marl' nthet'
instances of a particular remark
or action leading to long per-
iods of silence between Married
couples.

died leaving his wife only $3
in his will. The wife later ad-
mitted that they had not spoken
to each other for twenty one.
years.
By comparison, a Lancashire
husband's two-year silence
doesn't seem so long, but to.his
wife it was "hell, on earth."
The couple had been bicker-
ing for nearly forty years be-
fore the argument which finally
caused the long silence. During
the two years, the husband,
didn't speak' one Word' to his
wife, but sent heenotes, such as:

This is pointed up by a same

which showed that in one month:

The martyrdom of Stephen sig.
nailed the beginning of a fierce
persecution of the Christians. of
Jerusalem, Saul, who might be
called an accessory to the crime
against Stephen, became a lead-
er in the attack, "He made bav,
ock of the church, entering Into
every house, and haling men and
women, committed them to pris-
on," It has been said that the
blood of the martyrs has become
the seed of the church. It proved
so in this case. The.disolpies that
were scattered abroad on ac-
count of this persecution, went
everywhere preaching the word,
Philip, one of the seven who
had helped in the "administration
to the needy, went to Samaria.
The neonle heeded his preach-
ing, Unclean spirits were cast
out and manyeof the sick were
healed. Apostles Peter and Jebel
came over and prayed that the
new converts might receive the
Holy Spirit. Simon, who had
been a sorcerer, thought to buy
the power of imparting the Spir-
it and was sternly and fearfully
reproved.
Then Philip received another
assignment, The angel of the
Lord bade him go south into
the wilderness.' He might easily
have questioned such a leading
to leave a city where se. ,znuch
good was being done ancl[gci into
a' very sparsely ponulathd area.
But he obeyed. Soon he ,saw
high official of Ethiopia7eading
the Scriptures in his chariot as
he returned from Jerusalem.
Here was the man to whom he
was to bare witness. The offi-
cial, whom we would call the
Minister of Finance, vas'reeding
the fifty-first chapter of Isaiah.
Philip was invited into the char-
iot and had the privilege of
preaching Jesus to this earnest
man. He explianed how Isaiah's
words had ,been fulfilled in
Jesus. The Ethiopian believed
that Jesus -was indeed 'the Mes-
siah,and was baptized, The Spirit
of the Lord caught away Philip
for another task and the Ethic.-
' plan went home toehis own land
rejoicing in his faith in the Lord
.Xestts.
No doubt there were many
other episodes of a like nature
among the early Christians. Their
hearts were burning with a holy
love and joy •in Jesus Christ
their Saviour. They had to share
,the good news, If the task had
been left exclusively to the
apostles, comparatively little
would have been done. The

rough, uneven ends of logs, left
floating in the mill pond until
salvaged for fuel. It wuold take

Planer ends or clippings: were

"ladies' Wood,"
After the episode of the pond
lilies, we tried a load of "forest
wood" — alder and hemlock,
bought from a man '{'up
try." He was honest enough to
say, "It's net dry of course,"
which was a masterpiece of un-
deretetereent„ — Did you ever
try to burn wet hemlock? Well,
don't, It can't be done. When the
axe strikes it, the sap squirts up
into the eye of the defenseless
chopper with more venom, than
a fresh-cut grapefruit. And if
you put a piece of it into the
stove, on top of, a good roaring
fire, you soon hear the dreary
sound of hemlock sap stewing
and drizzling onto hot eoale —
then onto coals that are not so
hot. When yeti open the stove
again, you see only the black-
tined remains.pf a still-dripping
piece of hemlock. I finally de-
veloped a system la drying out
wood in the oven to be put into
the firebox, to dry out more
wood in the oven, to be put into
the firebox, ad infinitum.
There on the stump ranch, all
cooking wood had to be split, of
course. I soon found that there'
was a definite knack to that,
too. The trick of it depends upon
how sharp the axe is, of course,
and still more, upon how, exe
pertly it is wielded. The linal,few
inches of the stroke, just be-
fore the blade comes into con-
tact with the. wood, must have_:
an added force, a certain
"umph," in order to do business.
,
I was no fragile swooning Vic-
torian, but the first time I tried
to split a piece of wood my
efforts were merely laughable.
I scarcely dented the wood. It
was a moment of complete frus-
tration. I little thought that in
three short years I would actu-
ally master that treacherous axe
— and in a short half hour be
able to split a huge pile of
wood, almost enough to cook a
light lunch. I even became am-
light lunch.
So it went, up the chimney in-
to' smoke, pond lilies, kiln-dried,
planer ends, clippings, body-

west where I leerned that a
stump-rancher's wife must be
more than a housewife. She must
be A—fill-of-all-trades, a connois-
seur of cooking wood — and a
good woodchopper! In addition
to these, I learned to cook on an
Old wood-range, 'a black iron
monster that, to tell the truth,
turned out better food than any
I have had since.
Now, forced to live far from
that green and lovely, corner of
the United States, I long to be'
back there. dust yesterday I
' went to a nearby elumber yard
to buy a piece of board for a

memories. I could imagine a load
of dry fir in the shed, clams in
their bucket, huckleberries waits'

iebee and dirt and smoke in Our
stride and to think nothing of
them. In that woods country,
wood was king — and woman
was queen of the woodpile,
During our first wet winter
On the Skoocumchuck, a wide
river that flows uphill for sever-
sl miles whenever the tide comes
in, we learned that there eras
more to a Washington winter
than ever-dripping skies,. There
was the ever-present problem
of wood — a problem if we bad
it, a stilt greater proble ,m if we
'never ceased, to wonder' at
the high cost and scarcity of
,this fuel in e section where trees
grow so rapidly and to such
giant size, where milling, and
logging are among the main in-
dustries, In the mill and Welber
towns, it was sometimes almost,
irnpoesible to Obtain wood at any
price, especially when the mills
-clo5ed because of strecee or de-
pressions" lack of demand or for
any one of a number of reasons,
Then we learned the hard way
, what it means to live through a
fuel famine," as the newspapers
called it.
Through that first winter we
thought about wood much of the
time wanting it, needing it;
hating its nuisance, its diet, its
maddening habit of burning out
just when I had a cake all ready
for the oven — or where the
clams were waiting in their
bucket of cornmeal"seater, all
ready for their steam-bath. We
had no place to store wood, so
were obliged to purchase it one
cord at a time. Each load was an
event, something to look for-
ward to, to get excited about.
Through those quiet gray days
with the constant dripping of
rain on the roof, wood was the
main topic of conversation.
"Did you order the wood to-
day?" were the first words to
greet a husband on his return
home at night. If, miraculously,
he had not forgotten It, the next
question was "Will it be dry this
time, do you think?" Foolish
question! It was never dry.
We learned a whole new lan-
guage, all Washington's own. We
talked of planer ends, bark-
wood, mill ends, forest wood; we
tried one kind after another. One
night Jack tried me out on what
kind I preferred, what kind to
Order,
"They tell me that barkwood
slabs last better than anything
else . but the women don't
seem to like 'em. Say they make
a lot of dirt around the house." ,
I let that pass. As though
they could make any more dirt
than the other kinds!
"Perhaps you'd better get a
mixed load, partly mill-run or
body-wood, and partly clippings.
That would be ideal." How glibly
I was learning to reel of the
strange names. "Fir block from
