TRUIMBULL (Editor of The Sunday School Tunes) JESUS, TEACHING in the TEMPLE Sunday, May 20—Mark 12;13-14 Golden Text He taught them as one having au- thority. (Matt. 7:29.) Think of trying to trap God! Christ is God, and certain Pharisees and Herodians sought "to catch Him in His words." (Luke 20:20) des- cribes these men unsparingly, as "spins which should feign themselves just men." They were hoping He, would utter treason in some way, so "that so they might deriver Him un- to the power and authority of the governor." In barefaced duplicity they pretended to honor Him, speak- ing words of hypocritical admiration; then they asked the question they felt sure would involve Him: "Is it lawful to give tribute to Cacsar or not?" If the Lord answered "Yes" He would antagonize the Phaeisees and other Jews who longed to throw off the Ronan yake. If He said "No," this would be eeditien. So they roar soned. And when we reason again,` God, our reasoning always fails through, 05 theirs did. Our Lord's first reply trust have struck a chill to their hearts: "Why tempt ye Me?" Why were they so blind and foolish as to propose an ensnaring test for the Son of God? Then IT, continued with Divine dig- nity ani righteousness, utterly to die - comfort tbrm.

On the coin w'ts the image of the Roman Emperor •Caesag. That coin, tbeeeforn, be- longed to him whose image it bore, so far as taxes were concerned. But what about men --whose image do they bear? At the beginning Gad said, "Let Us make man in Our image" (Gen. 1:26). To those who ere ready to render to God the thinks that aro God's, we -hear the words sapken, "I beseech you, therefore, • brethren. by the mercies of od, that ye present your bodice a living sacci. five, holy, acceptable unto God which Is your reasonable re?'vice" (Reef. 12:7.). The Lord Jesus was covering More in His brief reply than any ono who heard Him then realized. Now another group tries to trap the Son of Gni Thesrt were the Sot- dueee's, who ",ay there is n0 reser- ruction." This sect wrs in the Tenn oil thnt tried Pull thirty years later; there we read that "the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nei- ther angel, nor spirit" (Acts 23:9). Evidently they believed not only that the body io never raised from the dead, but also that there is no con- tinuing life after death, even of the spirit. So they asked the Lord about an imaginary woman who had suc- •cossively married seven brothers; af- ter they all had risen from the dead, "Whose wife shall she be of them?" It is not a pleasant experience when proposing a profoundly difficult question to be told that one is an ignoramus. Yet the man who prides himself on being able to set his in- tellect over against the Word of God always and inevitably exposes his lea norener.. Most people who criticize the Pible do not read it, and it as easy to expose their ignorance, Our Lerrl did just this as He answc1• el: "Do ye not, therefore, err, because Ye know- not the scriptures, neith:',i' the power of God." He then showed that there i.; no merieeen. releti00,lrip lee the future life so the Saddnree< question be- ceme a ridie•ul'us one.

This is not a difficult task and requires only at small piece of ground — not more then e square rod or two. The small amount of. time required to sow, take notes on and harvest the crop will be more than repaid in the in- terest and information it will pro- tide not only to the grower, but to his neighbours as well. The Experimental Farms of the U'ederal Department of Agriculture are encouraging this "local variety tasting work" and now have a large number of co-operators working with them testing out different varieties in different parts of Canada accord- ing to a simple plan. It is hoped ul- timately, with the mass of informa- tion available from this co-operative scheme, to plot out or zone the dis- tricts where certain varieties give - the• most promise. It may be pos- sible for instance, to determine more definitely the Marquis zone, the Gar- net zone, the Renfrew zone or the zones where some other variety may be grown with greatest profit. Since conditions within a given zone may vary considerably farmers would always be well advised to do a certain amount of testing, especially as new promising productions by re-- liable e=liable institutions aro r'epor'ted. INCOME TAX CHANCE AFFECTS FARMERS Ottawa. May S—The plea of Can- , adieu farmers that the assessment of Fedi-.,.1 income over a period of years has been met at least to some eetent by Hon. W. D. Euler, Minister of National Iry vo: u,•. The .Minister has stated that while the plea could not be put into effect because of the present taxation law, farmers may substitute the, following methods in place of a cash basis which has been used in the past. The net income may be arrived at 1.y taking into account the inventor- ies of grain, live stock, etc.. at the commencement and enol of the taxa- ' tem year.

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT There are many ways to adjust the brakes, but the safest way is to jack. up both reek. wheels and ad- just both sides of each band until it clears the drum by one thirty-second of an inch or perhaps a little more care being taken to determine Whether the resulting adjustment causes dragging. This can be told by rotating the wheel. • DO NOT ABUSE THE BATTERY. One of the quickest ways of drain- ing the battery is by forcing the en- gine to spin with the starting motor when it does not start after the first few turns. It should be remember- ed that it takes about 20 times as long to replace the current of the battery which is used for starting. If the engine does not start after a few turns, there is somethin>: wrong, either in the ignition or carburetor; look for it and overcome it, WATCH THE OIL GAVE. To be assured that a proper sup- ply of oil is maintained in the crank- case, it is necessary* to keep a watch- ful eye on the oil pressure gauge. While the indicator is primarily put on the car to show pressure, it will also tell when the oil le becoming dangerously low. The needle of the gouge will quiver instead of being steady when oil is lower in the crank- case than it should be, especially when going downhill with the throt- tie closed, THE GRABBING CLUTCH Clutch -grabbing trouble is the op- posite of slipping. The clutch takes hold too suddenly so that the car is jerked in starting and needless strain is involved for the entire power tran- smitting mechanism. Grabbing is coused by too heavy spring pressure; by facings that have become rough and dry; by end play in the c eb shaft; by too tight an adjustment. - The driver who jams in his clutch le ed financial nssi.atance, The next quite likely to produce a grabbing step is to locate the mosquito breed- a:tion. fag areas which generally consists of _ temporary' or semi permanent pools Constant ``riding of the clutch" of stagnant water.

And a car that has lost its finish is a very hard car to keep clean. - Clogged mufflers result 1.11 over- heating, loss of power and a peculiar hissing noise, caused by the exhaust trying to escape from the muffler assembly. , ISNUIT° CONTROL CA PAIGN Communities that stiffer from in- festations of the mosquito at the opening of the summer months may largely overcome the difficulty by carrying out a general campaign of control. The •entomological Branch of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa has been working on this problem for several years and has taken an active part in campaigns that have brought relief from the pest which for many years appeared in troublesome numbers. In a new circular on the subject. Number 02 of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, it is recommended that pub- lic-spirited individuals who wish to control a local mosquito pest, should form a committee and endeavor to arouse public interest in the project through the press, by lectures, and in other ways. This appears to be necessary in order to secure the co- operating of tile public and tyle need - Save You Money and Serve You Better With A Tire For Your Every Need Firestone Dealers offer you a complete line of tires, each supreme in its class, headed by the famous Firestone Gum -Dipped Balloon.
