INTERNATIONAL LESSON
AUGUST 24.
Social Reepone�ihility—Luke 10: 2.i-37 r
Gal. 6: 2, 9, 10; James 2: 14-16.
Golden Text, Gal. 6: 10.
Luke 10: 26-87. What Shall I Do?
That is quite naturally the lawyer's
question. That is the question of
many who are seeking guidance from
the Church to -day in matters of social
unrest and change, "What shall we
do to save society?" '-The answer
must be Christ's answer, "Love God
and love thy neighbor'." Within the
Church there will be, as there has al-
ways been, differences of opinion, dif-
ferences of judgment, on political or
social systems. Where the law of love
prevails there will be friendly inter-
change of opinion, there will be earn-
est and patient study of the problems
involved, and there will be always
regard for the interest, the well-being,
and the point of view of those who
differ. Out of such friendly and
brotherly relations, true progress will
come. The best -planned' system of
reform or change may prove imper-
fect. It may' have its day and cease
to be. But love abides, the unalter-
able law of God. "Love never faileth."
Who Is My Neighbor? is the earn-
est inquirer's next question. To whom
does this law of love apply? Does it
apply to an alien, a foreigner, an
enemy, a rival? Does it apply to a
man of another race, or color, or
creed? The parable of the good Sa-
maritan is the answer. Your neigh-
bor is the one who suffers, the one who
has been ill-treated, the one who
needs your help and whom you can
help. The Samaritan proved himself
neighbor to fellow who had
thepoor
fallen among thieves.
_It need not be difficult to apply the
teaching of the parable to present
conditions. If we meet from day to
day those who suffer from any cause,
whether they have been robbed, or
insufficiently clothed or housed or fed,
or unable to have the comforts or
decencies of life for their children, or
tar broken in health, or mentally de-
ficient, or without faith and hope in
God, we have found our opportunity
to obey the law of love.. These are our
neighbors. What have we done, what
shall we dos to help them?. To be
interested, to feel responsibility, to
seek to understand and sympathize
and help in the wisest and most ef-
fective way, is possible for us all. To
pray for power and wisdom to help is
our privilege. It is in connection with
this very question of right and help-
ful relations with those about us that
Jesus uttered the great promise of
Matt. 7: 7, "Ask and it shall be given
you, seek and ye shall find, knock and
it shall be opened unto you." See Matt.
7: 1-12.
Priest and Levite thought only of
their own interest and their own se-
curity. They put self-interest first.
The Samaritan thought first of his
duty to the sufferer. Love -prompted
his willing and ready effort to help
and to heal.
The exhortation of James (2: 14-16)
is to the same effect. No profession of
faith, or good words, will take the
place of loving deeds. Our faith will
be surely tested by our treatment of
those who have need. A little self-
denial on our part will always make
possible that greatest happiness, the
happiness of ministering to the needy
rakes are not so satisfactory.
If some of the leaves are still green,
the beans may be allowed to lie on
the field for a few hours before piling.
Otherwise, they should be placed in
small piles or windrows soon after
pulling. The piles should be built
high and rather small at the bottom
to insure quick curing. Beans should
be left in the pile :for a week or tw o
until they are sufficiently dry. It is
considered a good indication that the
beans are ready for storing in the
barn when pressing with the. thumb
leaves but a slight impression on the
bean.
Rain, while the beans are in the
pile, will not injure the beans if they
are turned fiver after the storm. They
should be handled as little and as care-
fully as possible in order to avoid
shelling.
. When the beans are thoroughly dry
they .should be stored in a barn to
await threshing. They should not be
tightly packed in the mow. They may
be left until ready to be threshed by
hand or machinery.

Litter in the hen house becomes
hard and packed by constant use, and
does not hide the grain scattered in it.
The signs are right then for a good
house-cleaning. Stir up or renew the
litter.
Hens relish fruit, especially apeles,
plums, and other fruits that so often
go to waste. It does not matter if
the fruit is decayed; rotten apples
never injured chickens. The seeds
of apples are a dainty and palatable
article of diet.
Different kinds of grain at ould be
placed in different hoppers, so . the
hens can mix the feed as they want
it. Sometimes they need more of one
kind than another. I like that plan
better than mixing the grains and
pouring them all into the same hop-
per.
Buckwheat and millet sown togeth-

let it ripen, then cut and bunch it
and allow it to dry a few days before

them needed exercise. It is the best

A silo for hens is one of the latest
and is likely to prove one of the best
improvements for poultrymen. Take
an old vinegar or molasses barrel or
hogshead and bore a hole in the bot-
tom for drainage. Set the barrel on
a stand above the ground, with boards
in the stand far enough apart to allow
free 'circulation of air. Fit the top
cover so that it will go inside and fit
well, yet so that it can be easily taken
out. Fill the barrel with any kind of
green stuff that fowls will eat, such
•sas' {lawn clippings, vegetable tope,"
fine-cut clover, etc. It need not be
filled all at once, but can be added to,
from time to time, through the sum-
mer.
