ABOUT INTERNAL FRICTION A little newspaper "filler" gives th v o eans and -atlas wheat, beans, buckwhogt, and peas, as well as timothy seed id glover, for home use and market. ncidentally, one of the extras was a pulley by which he connected the mill to his gasoline engine, thus doing away with the job of turning by hand, .A. sacking arrangement was added for $7.50, which eliminated a g-reat deal of heavy lifting. "Thus encouraged," says Batton, "I itemized my stock of machinery and und that much of it, such as binder, .311, cultivators, etc, had been used ly a few days eaeli season. For ese implements I searched the mar- ket for extra attachments, and in most fo dr con e th following information: "Internal fric tion rather than that due to impact with the roadbed wears out most auto mobile tires." That is interesting and to the casual reader may seem absurd. But be that as it may with reference to automo- bile tires, there is truth in the state- ment as applied to other things of life. There is internal friction in many things. In co-operative .organizations, for instance, it often raises hob with the success of that organization. In churches it exists where peace and progress in the Christian spirit she -aid be the uppermost. It is frequently found in granges, farm bureaus, neighborhoods and in a great many, families. This internal friction is almost en- tirely due to the fact that some of those concerned have allowed selfish purposes to blind them to the greater, the creative purposes ef the -organiza- tion, be it a business or a family. They enlarge upon petty things and thus divert the attention from the real purpose. • However, it is not only in organiza- tions that there is friction, but it ex- ists in individuals. In millions of hie. man breasts there is strife because petty selfish things seek expression. The battle of human hearts is greater thari any war ever fought. It is a battle which will continue to rage as long as a human heart beats. Only t those who have gained the insight, or the epirit, of the great purposes of life know the calmness and harmony of real living. Religion brings it to some; philosophical thought to others, but countless people die without know- . mg it Before any purpose, either of an in- dividual, or of an organization, can be brought to its highest usefulness, the friction within must be replaced by harmony. Then the full strength of the purpose can be used in contact n with the roads that the purpose has r to travel. The world is always in need of more harmony specialists who will work to et conserve the human energy now wast- ed through friction and discord. Vaccination for Poultry Diseases. While it was only about three years ago that vaccination of poultry for the control of disease was brought to the attention of the poultry world, it had been employed as far back as so long a period. A SUMMER OF FLOWERS AT SMALL COST Mm Many women living in the country long foe a bit of garden but find it impossible to have one because they have no piece of ground properly en- closed from the farm animale., includ- ing the poultry. Many a farmer's flo wife has been discouraged atter plant- ing e bed of ;wers ,:to find that the caelves or a group of thrifty hogs have got in and de.stroyed her work. It is unfortunate that so worthy a desire should be thwarted by such an un- justieed cause. A. flower garden is ha an asset to any m home and there can be no justification for neglect to provide the necessaryisfences suitable for its protection. A, garden, especially to a begiener, is an indefinite thing, and many a young -wile has been greatly aided by a kind neighbor possessed with gard- ening experience. A Writer ,in the "Flower Grower," for the information of a young neighbor who had come into possession of a pretty bungalow, outlined a list of things suitable for her forty, foot lot. The list included plants, seeds and bulbs that made up a total cost of five dollars. Here is he list: 2 rose bushes at 75c each: 1 Gen- eral McArthur, 1 Mad. Cardline Test - out, $1.50. 5 perennial plants from Nursery; 1 -P Orinetal Poppy 20c, ` 1 olyanthus Primrose 20c, 1 Delphinium Bella doena 20c, I Pink Perennial Phlox 20c, 1 Early, Yellovv Chrysanthemum 20e.

Their efforts were rewarded by a garden filled .with fine bloom throughout the whole season. The list was made -lei in the autunin and there- fore- included the spring flowering bulbs. Had it been made in the spring, gladioli would have been re- commended instead of the daffodils. The dahlia, aster and cobea seeds were planted early in boxes and later transplanted, as were the Marguerite carnat.lons. The rest of the seeds were planted where they were to grow. The following fall the young woman bought more spring bulbs, two more rose bushes, and a few shrubs andi permanent vines, and more perennials. These -with the annuals that had self - seeded in the beds, and with some gladioli, Blies an other plants se: - cured from her neighbozs garden, the second, year, rnade their place look well established, and their home be- came a beautiful spot. The list of plants in this garden were carefully selected, producing .continuous bloom from the coming of the crocus in March, to the last rose, chrysanthemum and cosmos, which did not disappear until the .surnmer was praCtiOnlly over. ---Canadian Hor- , ticultural Council. ,....,••••••,•wae••e••.••.•m••••.o•••••••••ZsN•rrnaa8•fee•ce••••.•n•...••e•e••••••••Noo•eoe.•••.••.....•,•,••.•••a•••.a•o..••••.•.•••,..o•er.••..r...•••M f each year by resorting to its use.

Jesus, in dying, was conscious of doing a su- prerne work for the redemption of men, and Christian experience in all subsequent ages hap confirmed that consciousness. The Cross has exerted a redemptive power, delivering the asenuoismeleitinmegthlpto nferin esii:39dan.d selfishness, The Cross of Jesus Christ is a sign of the Christian salvation, because it always stands 'between the 'Christian soul and the world. It reveals the world's guilt, and it „else opens up a new ideal of service and glory. But the Cross is also the means of the Christian salvation, because, Jesus spoke of making himself a ransom for "many," and the Chrietian soul in all the ages has felt that- et can securely and safely trust that .way of salva- tion. it knows in spiritual experience -that Jesus has opened up the way cif, peace and -reconciliation with God. It is only at the Cross that wqsee what Sin is, and what love is, and what God is. It is only -there that we see how God's power ie exerted to save mankmd.

Two criminals were crucified at the same time at Jesus, onei on his right, and one on his left. " V. 34.

One of the two thieves crucified by the side of Jesus joins in themockery of the bystanders, and says: "If thou art the Christ, save thyself and us." The other, however, sharply rebukes him for having, at this moment when he is expiating his sins, given way to godless railing. Some 'sympathy for Jesus, his meek and patient fellow - sufferer, moves the penitent thief to ithis repudiation of his companion's taunts. Nor does he end with rebuk- ing his fellow. • All at once he breaks but with a declaratibn of faith in Jesus, exclaiming that while he an his fellow are paying the just penalt of their sins, Jesus is innocent, and Ithus accepting Jesus as the Messiah ' e says.

TRE vEn, OF THE TB1VIPLE.• A body of Christian worshippers will gather inside a church for corn, mon prayer and for instruction out of God's ward. The old Jew's gathered for worship in the open field outside the temple proper. The temple as a building was not a hall where inen might assemble; it was a dwelling p.ace for God. When ,men prayed in the field', or court, they turned their faces towards the holy house The temple was built after the plan of the very simple houses men made fax themeelves in early days It con meted o'f two rooin.e, an outer and an inner. The inner, or hinder room, as the mere private, was known as the Holy of Holies. Appe.renbly it had, ce.t e primitive house, neither win- dow nor door opening tothe outside. To get to it you had to go through the front- room. Of course, the inner room was dark; the Hebrews never forgot that their Gad dwelt in (lark, nese (1 Kings 8:12, 13), or perhaps, rather in 'light surrounded by dark- ness. In the temple of our Lottlis day, two cosily curtains hungebetween th hoceresnas a simple partition, over- lapping several paces in the middle, but leaving a narrow cross paesege between the curtains by which the high priest mig•lit leave the outer iotme near the eouth wall and enter the hmer room hear the north well of he role. At t time the inner tine uary was qui empty, bet the visible preeerige of Ood Was sensed here. The reading, of the veil at the °merit of our Lord's death is Inter- reted, in the Epistle to the Hebrews chap. 10), as opening up for every believer a way of immediate and un4 etricted access to God. 1 glaRArtaft12etie 4,Heti! 187, The Ceanina MOM. 130, Weeda or Ontario. 104.
