TRUMBULL (Editor of The Sunday School Times) Paul Writes To His Friends In Corinth, Sunday, Sept. 16.—I. Corinthians: 1 to 4. Golden Text. ..Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in 'unity i—Psa. 133:1 Is it God's will that His children should be divided in matters of re- ligious belief and teaching? We often hear it said that religious diffe- rences, denominations, sects and the like are not only inevitable, but also advantageous, and 'chat real blessing Conies Tram them. • ''- How can we square such a view with this clear, direct word given by the Holy Spirit to the whole family of God through the inspiried apostle, Paul; "Now I beseech you. breth- ren, by 'che name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment,' But how can men possibly have the same mind and the same judg- ment? There is only one way: by ascertaining the mind and the judg- ment of God as revealed in His inspi- red and written Word, and as made known by His Holy Spirrc. When there are divisions among God's people, we may be sure that such divisions are not of God, but that they result from the failure of men to understand and follow His will. Of course, in the presen'c condition • of the Christian world each individu- al Christian can only decide for him- self what group of fellowship of Chr'.- stians he believes most nearly follows the teachings of the Scripptures, and associate himself with 'Chem. But it should he the earnest purpose and prayer of God's people that all divi- sions among them be done away so far as possible, and that this injunction! he held constantly before the Church as its duty and privilege. Paul goes on to explain how the I Corinthian Christians came to be di- 1 vided. Some of them were saying: 'I am of Paul" others, "1 of Apolios," still others, "1 of Cephas," and still others, "1 of Christ." Then Paul Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?'" The lines of the old hymn are true; ' "Christ is not divided; all one body we" Paul could save no one nor could Apolios, nor could Cephas (Peter), These men were but the messengers, bringing the good news of :he only but all -sufficient Saviour. These various groups or"denomi- naming themselves as followers of Paul, or of Apolios, or of Peter, were jealous of one another. In the third chapter of the epistle Paul says. "There is among you envying and st- rife and divisions." He points out that Paul and Apolios are only the "ministers by whom ye believed. I have planted, Apolios watered, but God owe the increase. So, then, neither is he 'chat planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase," In *her words, everything that Paul could do, land everything that Apolios could do, as God worked 'che miracle of spiritual new birth and eternal life in the be- lievers. i When Christ is the centre of our life and interest, and when the Word of God, as given and interpreted by the Holy Spirit, is our only guide, we cannot be divided from God's other 1 children. But of all, the very love of God for them will fill our own hearts -•—that love that "beareth all 'things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things," and that "never faileth." Paul shows that those who believe the Gospel, working in Gael's field as those who plant and those who water, are really one in God's sight, and "every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor." It is an unspeakable privilege thus to be "laborers together with God." Paul and Apolios and Peter had that privilege, every believer today has the same privilege. And rewards are promised in accordance with the work done. But will not various other religioins bring men to God? The answer here and throughout the entire Word of God is clear and unmistakable: "Other foundation can no roan lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Chrisc.' Even those who build upon this true foundation of Christ may build use- lessly or enduringly. The fire test of the work of Christians is set forth Sonne are building gold, silver, pre- cious stones; others are building wo- od, hay, stubble. And the solemn prediction is that "every man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it shall bd -44:74; x.4s f rf 64,f:.

The selection of profitable feeders is much more difficult in 'che Eastern Provinces than in the West ern Provinces, due to the fact that a very high percentage of the Eastern steers show evidence of considerable dairy cattle breeding, However, there are many of these steers, even with same dairy blood, that will snake very profitable feeders and they are the ones that should be selected for the winter feeding work. The re- mainder should go to the block as they come from the pastures. Select only such steers as will conform more closely to the real beef -type, that is, straight, low set, deep blocky indivi- duals, with. a quiet temperament. It is that real dairy -type of steer, with a nervous temperament, that one wants to avoid in the feed lot, For example, out of twenty-five steers fed at the Nappan Experimental Farm during 1927-28, six of the steers were of 'che latter type and their average gain in 125 days was only 161 pou- nds, against 246 pounds as an average for seven steers that were fairly typi- cal beef steers, with some dairy blood mixed in. The former were worth lit to 2 cents less on the market in March, beside making 85 pounds lend gain. The dairy -type steers never made profitable gains, nor did they look finished at their best. To feed a bunch of good thrifty beef steers is a profitable side line, besides being an enonomical method of marketing cheap roughage grown on the farm, such as clay and roots. In reading the annual report issued from the Experimental Farm, Nap - pan, it may be noted what a good average market price has been ch- arged for all feeds consumed and, furthermore, that a good aberage' profi'c over feed cost has been realized over a period of years, in the finish- ing of a bunch of beef steers. After all, this is the most businesslike me- thod of farming and the adoption of such a policy will bo found a profita- ble one. There will be more manure available for top -dressing; conseque- ntly, less money going out for ferti- lizer, all of which helps to swell the income from the farm. The main point to bear in mind is the selection' 01 good feeders of the right type, steers that will make reasonably good use of the feeds consumed.

A. perpetual nod cheap source of power may be released, ir, again, the whole world may be blown to pieces Until the atom has been sp..it, however. what It might do Is its Own everet. Meanwhile, this Coolidge tube, whieh uses 900,000 volts of electric- ity, scuds out a bombardment of elec- trons at a speed nearly equal to that of light, The effects of these high- speed electrons are strange and 11u - expected. Some liquids subjected to them turn to solids; some gases be- come solids, and some solids become gases. When these electrons bom- barded a rabbit's ear the brown hair disappeared and was replaced by white hair twice as long. One of the most interesting fea- tures of this bombardment b3' elec- trons is that many minerals subject- ed to it glow brilliantly for hours afterwards, at the same time remain- ing quite cold. The tube has been put to valuable use in distinguishing real sapphires from artificial onee. Under the action of the high-speed eleetrona the real sapphires as well RS the artificial ones glow with a phosphorescent light, but after the apparatus has been switched off only the artificial stones continuo to gleam. Although these electrons leave the "gun" at the unimaginable speed of 175,000 miles per second, at the most they shoot only a few inches beyond the end of the tube. The heavy -air quickly deadens their further pro- gress. They leave the glass tube and pass into the free air by means of a "win- dow." This window is not one that you can see through—it looks more like a sheet of tinfoil, It is only one ten -thousandth of an inch 'thick and le made of iron, chromium, nickel and silicon. This "window" has the dpu- ble effect of hermetically sealing the tribe, at the same time allowing the electrons to pass through without hindrance. One day this American scientist may find a way of splitting the atom, but he will probably have to speed up the electrons. To make them travel at the speed of light, which is 166 ,- 000 miles per second, he considers that the electric voltage needed for the "gun" will be somewhere in the region of three millions, THE CARAYe1NSERAI° Fort Where Travellers Can Pitch Their Tents. They say hotele were invented by the Romans, and that Italy was the first con stay to have them. "Oateria," they were called, but they were slov- enly places, without host, cook, wait- ers or beds. In fact, all they gave the traveller was shelter from the weather. He had to bring his own bedding and food and do his own cooking. The dak bungalow of India is run on similar lines, and is simply a building with a caretaker who keeps a few chiekens and perhaps a Cow. He will sell you a chicken, but you must cook it yourself. People with a passion for Long words sometimes call a hotel a "cara- vanserai." It is not a compliment, for the caravanserai, or khan, is a sort of fort where people travelling across the wild country of Arabia or Turkestan can pitch their tents for the night, safe from robbers. Even in is palmiest days the cara- vanserai never possessed a landlord or a staff of waiters. There is a khanji, or potter, who lives in a little lodge by the gate, and who inspects visitors through an iron grating be- fore allowing them 'n. If tl3'e guests are approved, he shows them the sta- ble and the well, and will provide a sleeping mat. He presents no bill, but you give him a small tip before leaving. Epidemic Boasts Pasteurization. The epidemic of septic sore throat which raged in a small Massachusetts town, where over an eighth of the en- tire population suffered from the dis- ease, is one more good argument in favor of pasteurization, according to the United States Public Health Ser- vice, The infection has been traced to a single cow that had mastitis, a disease of the udders. As soon as the milk was pasteurized no more eases were reported. Paateurizaf1on would have prevented the entire outbreak, Nearly every community, largo or small, that has provided for pasteur- ization of its mills supply has been driven to this measure by just such epidemics of milk -borne dfeease. Ap- parontly communities, like human be- ings, refuse to profit by each other's experiences, Eat Moro Spinach. No vegetable has a higher content of vitamin A than spinach. Weight for weight, fresh spinach fa a little richer than butter in this substance The element calcium so necessary for the growth of the bones and the teeth and apparently of importance in relation to the nervous system and irritability, Is also provided by this vegetable, Spinach, too, provides about the same quantity of important vitamin C3 as milk.

Compared with sahtheru cities nitre is not ntuell color, for the wo- men wear black, but the atmosphere is so clear and the girls' eyes flash so lightly that it all becomes a pic- ture. In my walks I Sante across an- other square which brought back dreams of the past—the Plaza Mayor, which used to be the scc-ne of many an "auto-da-fe" and many a bull , fight. It was here that the public amuse- ments were held for the royal Court and also the executions. Nowadays all that is only a dream past and gone. Few cities have such a modern and rich appearance; the hotels, the res- taurants, the gorgeous yellow taxi- cabs are as luxurious as anywhere in Europe. And yet with one step aside we are back in the past, and we find ourselves practically in village life. Madrid is perhaps the only capital of Europe where one may stili loiter. The central square, called the Gate of the Sun, is unique in the world. It is the heart of the whole Spanish world, and I have an impression that all the roads in Spain or even in Spanish America lead to this meet- ing -place, where you find all your friends at certain hours in the day. Theatres do not start until 10.30 and finish until 1 a.m, After that, instead of going baclt to bed, you go to cafes, and if you have Spanish friends you are invited to join their "tertulia." The "tertulfa," which is the Span- ish equivalent for a club, is one of the most characteristic institutions in Spain, and goes back tc the eigh- teenth century. Friends (generally literary men) meet together in some cafe and discuss literature, art, politics, DESTROYING PESTS. Inventions of Modern WarIare Are Being Used. Weapons and iuventi.)ns of modern warfare have been brought into ac- tion recently in two decisive Victories on laud and sea over destructive pests, age-old enemies of man. After years or experimenting, Uncle Sam's Chemical Warfare Ser- vice has at last developed a success.. Sul defence against ship borers, the submarine destroyers which under- mine wharves and which, it is said, have destroyed more wcodeu ships than all the naval battles in history. The new weapon, described in the Popular Science Monthly, is a poison- ous chemical solution, a derivative of the high explosive Lewisite. Applied to the pilings of wharves, it destroys the armies of sea worms, In Palestine this summer, an in- vading host of locust.; was driven back by flame guns and poison sprays. Since ancient times these in- sects have periodically ravaged the Palestine crops, bringing famine. This year scientists and uilitary men rushed mobile field units to sleet the enemy. First powerful portable lamps were used to attract the insects into traps. Then the flame guns and poison sprays were brought into ac- tion, slaying the locusts and their un- hatched eggs. Often it has been said that insects are manta worst enemies. It is re- quiring deadly inventions Of human warfare In defeat them, Worry Causes Mishaps. A workman at a cutting machine was disturbed over a quarrel with his wife. In a moment of distraction he forgot the knives and a serious acci- dent resulted. Another man, operat- ing a huge press, was worrying over a mortgage on his home. Failure for an instant to attend to his Job nearly cost him his life. Looking out the window at a girl who was passing On the street caused a mechanic in an automobile factory to make a costly error which lost him his job. An analysis of 76,000 industrial accidents recently completed t od bY Mr. H. W. Heinrich of the Travellers' In- surance Co, revealed he says in the Popular Science Monthly, that a woritman who is mentally disturbed is as mueh a danger to himself and his fellbw woikmeu as if ho were physically disabled.
