I often sit and think of those day e and of a certain combinatiott—meel by all farm boys and girls, "books and din- ner pails." Did you ever stop to think abut that combination, "books and dinner pails?" As far back as you can re- member, you very probably carried both to and from school. In your books you found information; 'you found problems to solve, which train- ed you to think and reason clearly; you found stories and poems, which taught you lessons you have never forgotten. In your dinner pail you found your midday meal, which was quite as important as what you found in your books. This furnished the energy and strength which you used when you were sitting still studying, or running and playing or walking home from school. Books have changed considerably since those days which we are remem- bering. So have other things in the schoolroom. The little ones are not learning the A. B. C.'s as you did. Hach one has a pencil and tablet which were luxuries in the days of slates. Readers and language books are made attractive with pleasing pie - tures and interesting stories. Have dinner pails seen any improve- ment since the old school days? They look mucli the same as they come glistening along the road, or stand in a row on the shelf. Occasionally, we find a new type lunch box with a thermos bottle. It really seems to me that more et- a . cu d yon a se tention has been given the book side hut e tingh metic:.

The noonday lunch is one of the most vital problems of the rural school to -day. The old-time "biscuit- and- lassese- swalllow- whole - while -you -run" process is in the dis- card. The mental condition of boys and girls depends largely upon their physical condition. Their physical condition depends largely upon their food. Many Country Children Underfed. It is a notable fact that farm chil- dren are frequently underfed. On the farm the hearty meal of the day is served at noon; so during the school months, the children miss the princi- pal meal and constantly are underfed, taking a hasty breakfast, a cold luncle and a light supper. It is an almost universal habit of the farm to use dinner "left -overs" for the evening meal. The habit is commendable enough hut the prepare - Coo of the food is not.

But, by chance, it ao happened that the boys and girls there had heard of club work before. They had had a poultry club there for the two :preceding sum- mers. One of the younger girls was in the poultry club and she was elect- ed president of the Hot Lunch Club, organized there in 1020. Her story, which follows, tells very plainly how the lunch club project works out in a community where the parents, teach- ers, school authorities and all are in a co-operative frame of mind. The President's Plan. Our club was organized the twenty- second of January, 1920. It was or- ganized because the mothers and our teacher, Miss Wqod, wanted one very much. Our work was planned so that there was no money handled by the treas- urer. Our accounts were kept by the secretary. The chief cook ordered articles of food from the pupils. The slips were given out every Friday night for the following week. The president of the club selected two groups of three pupils each, one to cook and serve and the other to act as housekeepers. Each group worked two weeks, alternating their work. As the pupils marched by the kit chen door each one took a cup, spoon and napkin and went to their own seat. Then the teacher took the ket- tle and large spoon or soup ladle and dished directly from the kettle to the strew: For the self -feeder. use. the follow - fug.

John gave the rite a moral signficance and made it represent cleansing from the defilement of sin, His method was probably either to dip in the deeper water of the river, or to lift the water THE a rNDAY SCHOOL LESSON in his hands and pour it upon the head. The Didache, an early.and anthoreta- OCTOBER 10TIL tive Christian writing, makes it clear that both methods were allowed in the Christian church. Baptism and Temptation of Jesus. Si. Matthew 3: l; 4: 11. Golden Text, St. Matt. 3: 17. 3: 1-12, The Preaching of John. "Repent go; tor the kingdom of heaven is at hand," This was the burden of John's meesage. It struck home to the very heart of the pride and selfishness of the titne. The pious pretence of the Pharisee and the Sadducean self - complacency were of no avail as a defence against the Challenge of that message. Observing the feasts and sacrifices, paying tithes, keeping the rules of the Sabbath day, and making the ceremonial washings and faetings, were not enough. Nor was it of any use to say "We have Abraham to our father.'' There must be a change of mind and heart, a turning from evil :waye, a trite repentance; a repentance the fruits a which would be seen in "But John forbad him," or rather, as Rey. Vets., "would have hindered him." Evidently John must have known something of this kinsman of his and of his remarkable purity of life, The statment in John I.; 33 may mean simply that he did not know Jesus was the promised Messiah until be saw what happened after the bap- tism. "It becometh us." What John was doing seemed to him to be a righteous act, and as such pleasing to God. Wesley, in his Notes on the New Testament, says, "It becometh every messenger of God to fulfil all Ms righteous ordinances." Jesus desired to have His full place and part in this great movement of repentance and preparation for the coming of tho kingdom of God. Robertson (in The Spiritual Pilgrimage of Jesus) says, "When He steed in the presence of right living. the 13aptizer, h.eard Inin speak, drank believes that the long promised Say- cance, talked, probably, to the prophet Ontario and Peace River Oil Ile That Cometh After Me, John in the scene in all its spiritual " • eigniii- lour is about to appeal., and that when alone about His past experiences and an as Producing Co., Ltd. d G .

About twenty-five ladies attended our shower. The district furnished the oil stove and oil for the stove. We could hardly wait for the first hot dish of food.

Many of the girls who never cooked before made some very good meals. Try It: In Your District. This plan or one similar has been tried successfully in several school sections in Ontario.

To Jesus it meant the definite, positive call and consecration to Ms great task, the "discovery and acceptance of His divine vocation," 4: 1-11, The Temptation. "Into the wilderness to be tempted." The hour of great exaltation is followed by many days alone in the wilderness in fasting and prayer. Then He is as - sealed by fierce temptation. He is tempted to doubt the truth and reality of that divine call which had come to Him and that divine Voice which had spoken, The tempter said, "If thou be the Son of God," and repeated it, as 12 10 cast doubt upon that assump- tion. The tempter asks Him to prove it by a miracle,—by changing stones to bread, or by casting Himself from some high place on the temple roof. But Jesus already sees that His way must be the way of faith, and that no mere miracle or marvel will ever prove either to Himself or to tbe world, the truth of His relationship to God or His mission of salvation. The proof must lie in the message itself and in its transforming power upon the hearts of item "All these things will I give them,/ The temptation goes further and con- cerns the way by which lee is to carry out IIis mission to the world. There is presented to Him what seem an easy way, perhaps by the gathering of armies and by war, for Palestine was ripe for revolution against Rome, but that, He believes, would be the wrong way.

Birds having comae, thick skin and coarse, heavy keel or pin bones should be sold. Keep this in mind. The depth of a bird's body will also indicate her capa- city for producing eggs. Heavy egg laying hens must leave deep blies. Body depth is menstu•ed by the dis- tance between the end of the keel and pin bones. A bird showing lack of capacity in this region should be sold. Egg laying causes the pin bones to Proper fall culling :reduces the winter feed bill but not egg produetion. Egg production decreases with age.
