TRUMBULL (Editor of The Sunday School Times) JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD. Sunday, Feb, 14.—John 10:1-30 Golden Text I am the Good Shepherd; the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep (John 10:11.) The late Dr. C. I. Scofield, whose Reference Bible has brought such blessing to many, was once asked, by an earnest Christian woman, "Are you an out-and-out Christian?" She was rather startled when he replied, "No, but I am an in -and -out Christian." When she asked the great ,Bible teacher what he meant, he answered stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him." The Pharisees only drove away really believing Jews; and those who are honestly seeking God today are not deceived by the many false religious leaders who, as thieves and robbers, try to "climb up some other way" into the hearts of God's peple. Surely no true believer will be deceived, for,, example, by the young Indian Krish-, namurti, proclaimed as a `Secoltd Messiah" by the Theosophists in India. Then our Lord changes the use of the metaphor "door" and 'applies it to Himself. He now calls Himself the Door, as he declares: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep." Iiow many doors are there into Heaven? In a religious issue of an American religious journal the lead- ing editorial said: "Into the king- dom of truth there aro at least as many gates as in the city which John saw coming clown from Heaven o earth. ... .. Many are the paths that lead to God". This is Vit the teaching of the Bible and of the Lord Jesus Christ. He said there is only one door into Heaven, and that He is that door. He said there is no way of access to God except Himself: "No man cometh unto the Father hut by Me" (John 14: 6), and con- cerning Christ it was the Holy Ghost who said, through Peter, "Thera is none other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Our Lord then goes on to speak words of tragic denunciation of false religious teachers. We often hear It said nowadays that it is quite un- necessary to speak so severely as some do concerning other religious teachings than those of evangelical Christianity; that there is good in all religions. Christ took no such tol- erant, easy-going attitude, but He said of the religious teachers who were differing with Him, "The thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy," We need to be keenly conscious of the inescap- able fact that if 'Christ is the only Saviour, no matter how sincere and plausible, means eternal death. , Any other religion than Christ °meth but to kill and destroy. The climax of Christ's teaching about Himself as the only door and the only shepherd is in the startling words that spell blood atonement: "The Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep." That is what Christ the Prince of Life, left Heaven and came to earth for—to die as the sin- ner's substitute. Death, the wages of sin, had no claimeither the sheep or the shepherd, and the Shepherd took it for Himself that His sheep might live. "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." But it cost the Good Shepherd His life- blood. That is another thing that false religious 'teachers would turn people away from; blood atonement—a "re- ligion of the shambles," as they call it. But the only doorway into Halc- yon is by the blood onphrist, shed for us. "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter nto the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He hath consecrat- ed for us, through the veil: that is to say, His flesh . . . let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering" (Heb. 10:19-23.) Package Bees for Starting an Apiary Package bees should be ordered at once to secure early delivery, in the spring. To harvest a crop of honey the first seasoa, the bees must arrive during the latter part of April Or early in May. Packages arriving inter than this will seldom do more than build up into good colonies for the winter. Two or three pound Packages, including a young queen are the proper sizes for starting col- onies. As soon as the bees arrive, paint the screening of the package With a thin syrup of sugar and water to quiet the, bees and then place them in a dark, cool place until evening. Releasing package bees during the daytime causes excitment and drift- ing, especially if it is warm mid bright, Itt the meantime, prepare the number of hives required fer the tees by placing in each five drawn combs or sheets of foundation. The bees will get a better start if drawn, combs can be given, and there will be less danger of them absconding. When ready to release the bees first1 take from the small cage containing the queen, remove the eovering, from the candy hole and suspend the cage between the frames in- the hive. Next remove the cap from the filling hole or tho screen front one side of the package and shake a few bees into the hive and then set the cage into the hive next the frames and Over the hive,. Reduce the entrance of the hive to about one itch. The next day the cage can be removed and the space filled with comb or foundation. Package bees .must be fed at the time they are released and until there is 0 plentifulsupply of "lector available in the fields. DO not exainine the bees before they haVe been he the hives at least one • week. Many, a good queen has been lost thrbugh curiosity. THE CHATEAU FRONTENAC, QUEBEC AND WINTER SPORTS PROGRAM With seasonable woather prevail- ing and a nice blanket of snow on the ground, winter sport season in Que- bec City is now well under way, The snow -wreathed beauty and exhilara- tion of a winter vacation aro a grow- ing need. Winter sports are quick and effective restoratives, bringing' to you the enjoyments of glowing youth. Up in the spruce country, whore amidst the color, mirth emu hospitality of old Quebec, the true winter carnival spirit is to be found. , The recent fire at the Canadian Pacific's famous hotel—the "Chateau Frontenac" has caused no interrup- tion in the social activities—there be- ing ample accomedations and public rooms for guests—nor in the whiter *orts program arranged by the Sports Director of Chateau Fron- tenac and the Frontenac Winter Sports Club. Organized actitItios and interesting events daily, includes skating, snow -shoeing, hockey, slci- Mg, Mardi Gras Carnival, etc. Vari- colored costumes present a brilliant spectacle. The season terminates with the open championship bob sled races,February 27th, Hotel reservations arranged—fall particulars of railroad and sleeping car fares gladly tarnished on appli- cation to any Canadian Pacific Ag- ent.

The establishment, of a rayon, or so-called artilleial silk, factory in Canada marks the beginning in title country ot an iedustry whiett should develop Into one of coneiderable Pertance beeauee its raw material is Weed., says the Toronto Giobv, The world-wide expo eslon of this indus- try since Its origin a few years ago is one of the` isedinli wonders, and the failure of Canada, Os a natural setting fur It, to participate in its pro- gress earlier Is also something of a wonder.. Factories have aprung up in all foremost countries; plants which for years were devoted to oth- er purposes are now making rayon; textile manufacturers in other lines have opened rayon branches; world competition is wider way, and al- ready there are rumors of mergers and trusts, Rayon was first looked upon as a substitute for silk, and possibly be- cause Canada is not in the silk - producing business it did not seem as though its substitute belonged here. But it has developed far be- yond this point, aad is still regarded as in its infancy so far as usefulness Is concerned. Its lustre gives it the appearance of silk, but its production costs much leas. It is being used al- ready for draperies, neckwear, lin- gerie garments, hoisiery,' knit goods, as well as other articles, and is being woven into woollen and cotton fabrics with great effect. Each season Hada It playing an added part. In spite of rapid and extensive in- crease in production it doe,, not ap- pear to be reaching the saturation point. France, one of the leading natural silk countries, has developed an extensive artificial silk industry. Japan, another silk country, has in- creased its consumption of artificial silk from 177,V5 pounds In 1918 to 2,393,000 pounds in 1924. In China also the consumption is increasing rapidly. Rayon has become a pro- nounced addition to the textile indus- try in Britain. Germany has turned munition plants into rayon' plants. Italy is exerting herself to become "*". the world's rayon centre. Switzer- DOUBTS IF HE land cannot produce enough to satis- fy her home requirements. India is also a heavy importer, her consump- tion having Increased two and a half times in 1924 over 1923. In the United States the industry is making tremendous strides. Artificial silk has been on the Can- adian market since wartime prices of the natural article made iM use al- most prohibitive. Although produc- tion has been slow in getting a foot- , hold here, with a great supply of raw ' material available It should be able to find in this country a natural home. ! HISTORIC HOME OF EARL GREY PARTLY DESTROYED BY FIRE Howick House, Alnwick, the historical seat of Earl Grey, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from 1905 to 1916, was partially destroyed by fire last week. All the furniture a nd valuable paintings and statuary were safely removed from the burning building. OSTRICHES OFT, Since rashion Banned Feathers, Birds Are Out In Cold. Fine feathers don't mote fine birds any longer in the great ostrich -rais- ing district of South Africa. Just before the war ostrieh farm- ers made big profits from the plum- age of their stock. Dame Fashion smiled on them, and their bank bal- ances grew steadily larger. Then, suddenly, Dante Fashion exercised the woman's privilege ,of changing her mind, and there was a slump in ostrich feathere. In 1920 the value of the feathers exported from the Oudthoorn dis- trict, the centre of the ostrich indus- try, was 82,500,000, as against near- ly $15,000,000 in 1913, and last year there was a further fall to just over 21,260,000. Of course, ostrich feathers may come itt,. again, but there is no sign of that at present. Even the os- triches at Wembley failed to excite any emotion beyond a mild curiosity in the tickle feminine breast. So the ostrich farmers have decided not to wait any longer for the return of the ostrich feather to favor. They an, disposing of their stock and taking Up other fermi; of farming. In this Fashion, so long unkind to them, is lending a helping hand. For though the niodern woman won't look at an ostrich feather, she will go into raptures over a pair of shoes made of ostrich skin, So the os- triches are being killed, their skins turned into footwear, and their flesh into blitong—meat cut up into strips and dried in the sun. The farms thus cleared of Ostriches are being used for various purposes. Some of the old ostrich farmers are now growing wheat, which is prov- ing a particularly prolific crop; oth- ers are taking up dairy farming, poultry keeping, or fruit production. The motto is "Anything but es: - triches." In the cirministances, one cannot blame the farmers, though it seems a pity to see one of the world's most picturesque industries disaPpearbig.. And the worst of it is that probably, Just as soon as the 'ad ostrich farm has vanidhecl, flighty Daum Fashion Will rediscover the ostrieh feather, One of the most interesting women in England is Mrs. Burge, director of The Ring, Blackilriars road, Lon- don, where so many historic boxing contests have been held. • Twenty years ago Mrs. Burge was one of the Sisters Lloyd, a popular musie-hall "turn."

Huron Bean Crop Finds a Market Co-operative is Quiescent — Expect Increased Soy Acreage this Year Most of the Huron conney bean crop has been rnarlceted at, priees ranging from $1.85 to $2.10 per bushel, Agricultural Representative Stothers, of Clinton informed The London Advertiser recently. "There rimy have been it slight holdover from 1924," lie stash, response to a question, "but I think most of it was pretty well cleaned up." Noth- ing more is being heard at present of the proposed bean growers' co-opera- tive. "There ore occasional inztkies a- bo.ut soy beans," stated Mr. Stothers. He believes that there will be an in- creased acreage sown this year, as last year's successful demonstration on the farm of N. '3.

When I interviewed the foreman on a huge building in London in the skeleton girder stage of erection, and told him that I was the Tit -Bits man, and wanted to go aloft to see what It was like, he said that I could, but (tie must have been an Irishman), "If you break your neck, on your own head be it, my son!" Another man to whom I was pass- ed put certain questions to me: "Got any nerves, mister? Paid up your insurance? Wrote out your will, I hope?" Cheerful! My grin, however, seem- ed to satisfy him. A ladder took us up some thirty feet, and—it wasn't' a nice laddor. It wobbled and swayed; one, it slipped, and my companion spoke to It. From the top rung I clambered on to a girder. It was, 1 sapposed, about thn inches 'wide, but looked about two. Foildwing my guide, I walked along it, and he must needs stop half- way and shout over his shoulder, "You can get back if you want to. Feelin' dicky? Look straight ahead bit up-ards if anything, and never mind your feet, You'll soon know If they're off." I replied that I vras quite all right. We traversed the girdc•r—a terribly long one --came to another ladder, and mounted that. A few seconds later 100 were on another girder, with another nerve - testing walk in prospect. And it was here—we had been sheltered some- what before—that 1 struck the wind. More correctly, it struck me: Down in the street there had been just a breeze; here was a big, bigh-pressure, whirling wind that pushed and thrust and gripped, It held a nasty note, too—a vicious sort of whine that thrilAd one unpleasantly. We waited it few moments, and then my companion strolled along the girder nonchalantly, I followed with a slow -and -sure ehuffie., A glimpse at my feet—I couldn't resist looking at them —showed me that when they were side by side there was but a bare inch margin on the girder. And below there was one hundred feet of nothingness. At the end of the girder my com- panion sat down and motioned to me to do likewise. Yes, but how? My eyes asked the question; the roaring gale whirled words away. He rose and !Mewed me. Quite easy, you know—when you do know! Stoop forward, let your arms trail till your hands feel the edges of the girder, take a grip, slip your legs over, and there you are! . Better in one sense, but not in.an- other, for now I felt what I hadn't noticed 'before—the sway of the structure. The whole thing was swinging about. What the "play" was / do not know. It seemed yards, but was .probably only inches. 'Feel like gettin' back?" my com- panion roared presently, I hadn't thought of that. It took me a tense three minutes to get to 0 standing position on that girder, and then, with the wind doing its best to kill me, we ultimately reached firm ground again. "It's nothin' when you're used to it," remarked my friend, "You was- n't so bad—for an amateur." Perhaps I wasn't. But when next yrioltilek,see men Working nonchalaatlY on a girder a hundred feet or more high, raise your hat to them. 11r they ve no nerves, they've heaps of For Cadet Purposes Only..
