RA., MP,
When We Are Disciples
Matthew 3$: Iii 20;
Romans 1:13-10; Luke /4;24-35
Memory Scripture: GO ye there,'
sore, and 0.40 all nations, bap-
tizing them, in the name of the
rather, and or the Son, and of
the holy Ghost; Teaching thelik
to observe all things whatsoever
have commanded you: and, lo,
alp with you always, even unto
the end of the world, Matthew
2ti:19, 20.
Our memory scripture sets
forth our task. No disciple is
exempt from this command. As
we go forth daily in the home,
factory, shop, school or church,
we are to help our fellowmen to
become disciples. For some,
obedience to these words, means
going to people in other coun-
tries and of other tongues. But
we are all in this together. The
great multitude of the blood-
washed wnich John saw were of
all nations and tongues. {Rev. 7)
The church is likewise commis-
sioned to baptize and to teach.
But the fact is that we are so
dilatory about our task that we
are not even keeping up with the
growth of population, We need a.
great spiritual awakening.
In the passage in Romans we
get an insight into the spirit of
a ',man who took seriously the
great commission. He went into
all the world preaching the gos-
pel, not for money, but because
he was in debt. He owed it to
all men to share with them the
Good News. How much better
to have this debt than the seri-
ous debt incurred by the easy
path of credit buying. It was this
sense of obligation that made
him willing to stand a din the
shadow's of imperial Rome and
carry out his mission,
The passage from Luke speaks
of the cost of discipleship. To-
day's trend is to make disciple-
ship appear easy. But Jesus pre-
sents to his follower, a cross, No
affection for our nearest relatives
must interfere with our obedi-
ence to Jesus Christ, The great
comforting word is that of Jesus
himself to us, "Lo, I am with you
always even unto the end of the
world." It pays to serve Jesus.
Are you proving it so?
Having been fed with a daily
ration of orange juice—in the
form of citrus pulp—a 40-cow
herd at Womberal, Australia,

yield,,by 10 percent.
UNCHANGING NAZARETH — Relatively unchanged since the days when Jesus walked it; street in his youth,
city of Nazareth nestles in hills of Galilee, in I sreal. The city is a focal point for tourists especially at Christmas time.
HEADS UP — The French still have a great many open-air
markets, although they have regular American-style super-
markets, too. Bargain-conscious shoppers usually patronize
the outdoor types. where cut-rate prites often reign.

Peking's "Fox Hunts"
Run By Radio
The Chinese Communists have
just invented a new sport called
"fox hunting" and have held
their first national competition
in Peking with 172 competitors,
82 of whom were women.
The Chinese version, bears lit-
tle resemblance to the old Eng-
lish one, however, for the Chi-
nese "hunter" is on foot, he has
a radio receiver with a direc-
tional antenna instead of hounds,
and the '"foxes" are hidden trans-
mitters.
In this game, the receivers are
homemade by the contestants,
and it does not take much imag-
ination to see why the game is
being played,
During the contest Which has
just ended, each male competitor
had to track down three radio
transmitters that were hidden
over a 51h-mile course and were
emitting signals only at intervals.
For the women, only two "foxes"
were placed on a 33/4 -mile course.
The team event (two men and
two women) was won by the
Army, but civilians took first
place for individual scores, writes
S. B, damerekian in the Chris-
tian Science Monitor.
The week - long competition
also Included 4 .rodio-signaling
event-'-another new "sport," In
this gamer each of the members
of a two-man team race against
members of other teams over a
prearranged two - mile cross

Despite some mastication, many
kernels of whole grains fed to
Battle pass through the entire
digestive tract intact and are
wasted:
Federal researcher Dr, C. B.
Bailey says such losses can be
avoided by grinding the grain,
He found that whole grains
introduced into the animal's
paunclt had not been broken
clown appreciably by the. fluids
even after 24 hours. The oppo-
site Was true of ground grain.
* *
The experiment was conduct-
eld through a fistula, or artificial
opening in the paunch, using
small nylons bags through which,
the paunch fluids could pen'e-
trate. '
Alter 10 hours in the rumen,
whole oats had broken down one
per cent only, and wheat, barley
and corn not at all.
* *' *
The ground grain showed a
percentage breakdown of 90 for,
wheat, 81 for barley, 64 for oats,
and 51 for corn, After 24 hours
in the paunch ,the percentageS
for ground grain had increased
to 94 for wheat, 89 for barley,
64 for oats .and 84 for corn. Cor-
responding percentages for the
whole grains after 24 hours were
11, 5, 2 and 4.
Thus after 24 hours both
ground and whole oats had brok-
en down the least, After 10
hours corn was broken down' the
least among the ground grains.
Dr. Bailey said more whole
grain would be broken down in
normal consumption than,in the
nylon bags but the figures were
significant enough to show the
wisdom of grinding grain feed,.

Eagle Tries To
Carry 'Off Baby
A rare golden eagle swooped
on a terrier dog and attempted
to carry it off In Chicago recent-
ly. The dog was only saved be,
cause a policeman scared the
eagle off by firing his pistol.
Golden eagles carry off live
hares and rabbits—even lambs.
They have also been known to
carry off young deer.
A Swiss newspaper told of a
tourist who was passing through
a mountain gorge when an eagle
suddenly attacked him.
He used his stick to defend
himself and the bird flew away
but next minute another eagle
appeared and dropped a live pig
a few weeks old at the man's
feet before flying off. The tour-
ist's fellow guests could hardly
believe their eyes when be re-
turned to his hotel with the pig
under his arm.
Has an eagle ever carried off
a baby?
In New Mexico recently a
farmer said that an eagle
pounced on to his two-year-old
son in his pram. buried its talons
in his thick woollen coat and
began lifting him.
The farmer, whose story was
vouched for by another man who
was present, at once seized a
spade and made the eagle drop
its burden before it flew away.
The child was badly bruised,
THEFARN FRONT
Feathered Visitor
Arrivo By Storm
'Twas five fails ago, I think, I
first found, a pair of gLven-wing,
Azti teal in my farm pond, I may
have skipped a spring or fall
singe, but mostly I've been,
around,. and I was on hand this
morning when, again in a driving
November rain, I found thorn
settled in for their semi-annual
visit. (Please give me leeway as •
to time; "this Merning" Means as.
I write. I recently wrote of pick-
ing luscious grapes in early Sep-
tember, and when the Dispateh
appeared in late October I had
Mail asking if I'd sell some, In,
SepteMber, I gave them away!)
Well, the green-winged teal is
a lovely, bouncy little bird, said
in the big Audubon book to be
"the sportiest of our docks," and
must be kept distinguished from.
the blue,winged teal, which is •
quite another bird.
I am not a duck hunter, as so
many of my neighbors are — we
live close. to Merrymeeting Bay,
which is the best stopover for
waterfowl on our whole coast.
But I've explained_ before that
MY farm flock of ducks keeps us
supplied without guns, license
and cluck stamp, should we eat
that way. And the .dothestic, flock
often "toilers" in. wild birds,
which are lawfully game in sea-
son, but which find the pond a
haven. Mostly these wild birds:
are black ducks, but occasionally
there will be a mallard, and
sometimes a sheldrake, These var,
om wild birds, sliding in for a
rest, have no business with us.
Let me walk out by the pond
while they are in, and they will
raise the hue-and-cry and take
off and be gone;
But these green-wings didn't.
They paid' no heed to me, al-
though I couldn't get too close to,
them, and while they were here
they seemed to be as friendly and
tame as my own pets in the same
pond.
The green-winged teal doesn't
nest near here. They winter ra-
ther far down the .coast, even
to Honduras, and they pass this
way in going to their summer
nesting grounds, sometimes as fnr
as Alaska; but at least west'ard
of Quebec somewhere. In migr,1.-
ing, you see, the green-wing
seems to go afield a mite in order
to touch down for a short week-
end in Maine. What mysterious
path in the high sky was set for
him in the dawn of wildlife, that
he must always come this way,
and go this way?
My green-wings have always
come in a storm. Great slanting
sheets of rain, driven by a harsh,
cold no'theast wind off the Atlan-
tic rip away, and this is when I
find them -here, I .like a storm,
and always have, I don't tackle
them• bareheaded; I pull on my
weather gear, 'and I'm warm aS
toast and dry as a bone except
for my hands and face, and I
wander around to, see hoW things
are.
It's a pretty wild scene up in
the:thick Woods, to see the great
limbs on the hardwoods lashing
back... And • down in the black •
growth, where the footing is soft
and quiet and the wind is. held
back I have walked up on a bed-
ded-down deer who, on a dry
day, would -have bounded and
gone off like a freight train, Most
of the animals take cover in this
kind of a storm and become sub-
dued: So .as I wandered out past •
the pond found :this pair of
green - winged, 'teal bobbing.

knowledged theth as ducks; and
then I decided • they were teal,
and after that I discovered their

They spent two full days With.
Me, and since then they haVe
done the same each spring and
fall. I wonder what schedule
contrives to bring them exactly
here each tiMe ..just as the storm
breaks? How do they know, in.
Honduras or in, Alaska, when to

here for the no'thettater? I think
they drop, in during 'the .evening;
about the-time the 'storm makeS.,
Up; for they are there of a thorn-.
NESTLED AMONG Grk
ing. And they take off in the
gray light of what would be the
fourth day, 'after the storm has
spent itself.
Of course, I have no way of
knowing if these two green-wing-
ed teal today are the same ones
who came down five years ago. I
assume they are, because I don't
think this great surge of migra-
tion that goes on with the birds
is than chancy, but don't they
raise some young? Don't they
have a flock on these trips?
My own farm mallards come
and go, but not by flying. One
year I sent away- and bought a
new drake; I have also bought
new hens. The mallard is essen-
tially a wild bird, willing to do-
mesticate himself, but he, too,
knew those flyways once and
could probobly return to them.
Do these free and limber buc-
caneers give our lazy old mal-
lards a pitch? 0' come with me
and be my love sort of thing? Do
they tell of happy mornings in
the slough holes of Manitoba, or
of warm nights when a Honduras
moon sleepily caresses the
swamps? Do they tell.of tall ships
and a star, to steer her by? And
do my mailer& shrug indiffer-',, ,
ently and talk of security and
welfare and fringe benefits?
Whichever, if either, these
green-wings do not use my pond,
as other migrant ducks do. They
do not fly when affrighted, and
while they. are here they are as
much at honie as the mallards.
They are foul weather friends,

Yolk color, governed 'by the
hen's diet, has no effect on the
food value of the egg but is a
factor in grading.
The yolk color may also spark
a mild disagreerrient in a house-
hold. A survey sonic time ago
showed that women preferred
lighter colored yolks than did
men. And city dwellers of both
sexes favored lighter yolks than
diA. their country counterparts.
