TRUMBULL (editor of Tho Sunday School Times) USEFUL WORK A CHRISTIAP, DUTY Sunday, Oct. 20 — Genesis 15 ; Exodus 20 : 9 ; Nehemi't', 0 :3; John 5;17; 9:4; Act' 20 33-35 ; 2 Thessalonians 3 : (1- I2 ; Ephesians 4 : 28. Golden Teas If any should not work neitiuu should he eat. (2 Tiles. a; 10). Those who may be tempted to complain sometimes, because of the hard work they have to do may well give thanks for this in contrast c'th the much harder work of those wig, wish they could find work and can- not. It is a pathetic sight that con- fronts one inside and outside at. employment office, as men out of work take their place in the line of applicants or study the blackboard descriptions of jobs that are open, in the perhaps vain hope of get- ting something to do. So the tide of this lesson might as truly be "Useful Work a Christian Privil- ege." People sometimes mistakenly think of work as a consequence of sin. It is not. The lesson passeencu stake this plain. Before ever man had sinned "the . lord God took the man and. put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." 'think of the joy of that work. A sinless man, in perfect physieel health, of absolutely sound mind. and in a perfect environment, his work assigned by God himself. Furthermore Adam, made in the image of God, was "true to form" in working for God had worked he fore Adam was created. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work," se'el the Lord Jesus Christ, the son 01 God, And again : "T must work the works of Hine that sent Me, while it is day : the night cometh, when no man can work." What does that last clause mein" The nornte] time for work is in the light, not in the dark ; by tiny, not by night. Every twenty -tier hours brings a time of night it which ordinarily speaking men can- not work. Again, the statement may refer to opportunity ; when .1p- • portunity for certain work has pas - sod the night runes upon us and if we did not work when we could `lett chance is gone. at may also refer to death in contrast with human l+fe. The daytime of our earthly opnnr- tunity for work in this lifetime fol- lowed by the night of death. Even though, for Christian believers, there is glorious service in the Iife after this, we never again shall hive the work opportunities of this pros. est life. rr The first chapter of Genesis 's filled with a vivid account of God's glorious working in creation and in restoration. There is the great and perfect example of work far all workers. Even in Eden, where Adam was assigned his work, G,d had done the first work for "the Lord God planted a garden eastw :trd in Eden" (Gen. 2 :8). was the fit:tt worker, the first gardener. Then comes one of the immortal. Ten Commandments, ordaining man's labor for six days of every week. Looking again at our Lore's ' word about work, the comment of Jamieson, Flausset and Brown's com- mentary is very rich. "A most interesting statement from the mouth of Christ ; intimat- 1 ing, (1) that He had a precise work] to do upon earth, with every partic- ular of it arranged and laid out to i Him ; (2) that all He did upon earth was just `the work of God —partic- ularly 'going about doing good.' though not exclusively by miracie't had its precise time and place in His program of instructions, so to speak ; hence, (4) that as His per• iod for work had definite termtina ' tion, so by letting any one service pass by its allotted time, the whole would be disarranged, marred, and driven beyond its destined period for completion ; (6) that He acted ever under the impulse of these con-' sideration, as man— (or no more) can work.' what lessons are here for others, and what encouragement from such example 1" While Christ's earthly work was unique, yet every man's work is as- signed him by God just es definite ly, if he will her and obey. Eeci, man ought to be able to say, with Nehemiah-.: "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down why should the work cease, whilst I leave it?" One cif the most spiritual men that ever lived was one of the most practical of workers, the Apostle Paul. He had learned a trade, tent• making, and he kept right up while going on with his great missionary enterprise as an ambassador of Christ. He had every right to be fm- ancially supported by those whom he served as minister, yet he weak( not avail himself of that right, but could say instead : "These hand:: have ministered unto my nee essities, and to them that were with me." So Paul could speak with the authority of his own eteample when he rebuk- ed the shiftless and lazy in the church who would not work, and he gave the commandment "that any would not work, neither he t -at." The twentieth century has no monopoly on thieving : for Paul heti to write to the Ephesian Church THE BRVSSEL$ PO$T Let him that stole steal no more : but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing whleh is Pod, that he may have to give to him that neecloth. Work not Only taken care of by the worker, but ell - 401109 Itim to give to others. There is a striking' word back in Deuteronomy about God, It was In the song of Moses ; "fie is tl.e Rock, Hfis work is perfect." (Dont, 32 :4.) Can we not 'say truthfully that the greatest work that emu' God has 'ei'er •done was His work, not of creatin, but of redemption? It made it possible for God the -Son and Saviour to say to all mankind "Come ante Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you list" (M•att. 11 :28.) The Laying House tri Winter Now that the time for the winter housing' of the pullets is at hand it is well to realize just what is neeee sary to fulfil the requirements for greatest results in profitable re- turns. Pullets to give maximum requite must not only be well bred and wal fed, they must be comfortably hoer ed, whch means that the, house mu.t be dry, thoroughly ventilated, with out draughts, and bright and cheery Such a house properly furnished to allow the maximum of unobstructcei floor space is a satisfactory founda- tion on which to start the season': work. To assure such conditions see that all cracks hi the walls are wall batoned, that the floor rs sufficient' ly elevated above the surroundcng ground so that it will be well drain ed, and if you have been troubled in the past by a hoist condition on the roof or ceiling put in a straw loft and make openings in the gable ends of the house to allow of a cross draught over the straw. By all means use dropping heart:, under the roosts and clean them ole regularly so that they will not cer taminate the air which the fowl , have to breathe. When the pullets I are brought in from range in the fall try to make conditions as near .ly as possible like those they have been accustomed to. They havi been on grass range living in onen houses, if when they are brought tel i they are put in close houses you ni<,y be almost certain that you will hive trouble with fall colds and roup: When they are put into them winter quarters the house should b' kept wide open day and night ani, the birds allowed to spend the days in the yards surrounding the house As the weather gets colder the win- dows may be gradually closed at night, but keep them open during ,the day, so long as the sun is slit: ing, even in the severest weather The birds will do well even in sev • erely cold weather so long as t"o houses are dry and thoroughly vett, ilated without draughts.

Mr, Martin has perfected three Models which are unique in urauy ways. Noneor litchi has a chasslr, frame or axle: Instead, each wheel is independently attached to a reiuturo- ed body, and the floor of the body la the bottom of the car. There are no springs, but to pre- vent shuck or discomfort of any kind to the (tenor e.a i a... - a;; v, lift. wheels are set in what Is veiled al tater cord --made of rubber uuder bleb tension shatter to the way etiolate,. wlruuis are suspended. This makes for each wheel being qble to absorl, the shock of rough spdte in the rot d indepen- dently of the others. Universal joints in the wheel flubs enable the driver to keep the car under perfee_ control through the atiplleation of motor power and steering mechanism. Engineers who witnessed the de- muuetratiou said that, despite its size, Mr. Martin bas made an automobile that is a real, practical motor -car: It has a body, a 4 -cylinder, air-cooled motor, four wheels and, during the demonstration, preyed it is capable of travelling at the rate of 50 miles an hour or more over roads that are not first class, and with perfect cam - fort to the persons riding in IL It is built for two persons. Mr. Martin observed the utmost economy of space and parts in build- ing it, it was said. The coupe has a GO -inch wheel base, as compared with the 103 3 -inch wheel base of the Ford Model A, the smallest American- made automobile, and the 75 -inch wheel base of the Austin Seven, the small 13ritish car that is soon to be introduced into the United States through an American manufacturing company, now being formed. Mr. Martin's automobile weighs 600 pounds and possesses what the automobile saleaman calls the "usual refinements." It has an electrio starter, speedometer, ammeter, etc.. and will be shipped in a weather- proof eatherproof crate designed so that the pur- chaser of the car can set the crate up in his yard and use it for a garage. Among the advantages which Mr. Martin holds his care possesses, one that will appeal strongly to the pur- chaser is that it needs no "servicing." The few parts that require lubricate tion may, he declared, be lubricated for the life of the car before 1t la shipped from the factory to the user. The aviator cord by which each wheel is suspended is "good" for 25,- 000 miles, he declared, and its engine will require no more attention than any experienced motorist is capable of giving it. When the aviator cord is worn out, anyone can replace it at a cost of about 80 cents, he added. Another of the advantages which' Mr. Martin asserts his car has is that It will "do" 50 miles on a gallon of gasoline. Legend of Kingfisher. I watched a kingfisher waiting for its prey, near Windsor, writes Look- er -On in -the London Daily Chronicle. For ten minutes It stood perfectly motiooless by the water's edge, its beautiful plumage presenting a won- derful sight against the drab sky. Suddenly, without any indication, it plunged almost perpendicularly In- to the water, and emerged a few yards away with a small fish in his hill. Then, with a quick glance around, it flew to a bush a yard or so from me and began devouring its tasty morsel. I recalled, as I watch- ed, the story of the origin of the Kingfisher's delightful colors. It is told that a kingfisher was at first a dull greyish bird until one was re- leased from Noah's Ark. It then flew so near to the sun that It was scorch- ed to its present color, also assuming the color of the blue sky. Forest of Dean Custom.

Over a five-year period the pet. on lights produced on the average 3966 eggs at a cost of 20 cents per dozen in the six months ; while the pen without 'lights produced 3671 eggs at a cost of 22 cents a dozen. This gives an advantage of abo'tt 300 eggs far the pen on lights anti at a reduction in cost of 2 cents pee dozen.
