Leal( smiled. "01h sty!" she said,

A week later Tony discovered a
dollar hill where it had been idly
dropped on the living -room table
and forgotten.
"Listen, honey, you've got to

important to us right now,'
"I'm sorry," said Leah, "but it's
only adollar."
"'Ve can't afford to lose a dollar
or even a Dart of a dollar," Tony
said, sniliug.
The next Mini --the time Tony
eiseot•ered three dollars on the
kitchen tables and one on the floor
where it had blown—he didn't
smile,
"Good gosh, woman! Show aY
little more consideration, will you!
11 I hadn't noticed that dollar on
the floor it would have been lost.",
"Darling," site said altogether too
precisely, "I've never lost a penny
of our money,"
"How do you know?" asked
Tony, a bit smugly,
"Because," said Leah, just as
smugly, "I can account for every
dime you've ever given me,"
"I-Ial" said Tony, "Let's see you!"
So Leah got a pencil and paper
—and sat down and figured out her
expenditures, to the last penny.
"Well," said Tony, "that doesn't
mean you won't lose some if you
continue to be careless. After it's
gone—well, you've heard the crack
about locking the barn door after
the horse had been stolen,"
"I've heard," said Leah icily, "a
lot of cracks."
Suddenly it occurred to Tony that
this alas their' first major crisis.
Somehow he'd have to break Leah
of her habit without a quarrel..
It was the next Saturday noon
v:heit he carte home from (toric '
that Tony discovered three ones
and a two -dollar bill on the bureau
where it had been absently dropped
by Lcah while she rescued the
roast from bunting. Furtively Tony
scooped up the money • nd stuck
it in his pants pocket, Soon er or
later Leah would discover it was
missing. She'd. become concerned.
She'd ask hint to help bunt, He'd
make a pretense of hunting and
then pretend to find the money

LESSON

P±. Rev, R. BARCI AY WARREN,
B,A., A.D.
Paul, World Evangelist
Acts Eo: {,.int
Golden Text: I determined not to
know anything .among you, save
Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.-.
1 Corinthians 2:2,
Paul's experience is proof of the
fort that a person may be very
sbu•ere in his religion and yet be
far from the truth. Paul thought he
was doing God's will in persecuting
the Christians, Then cant, his not-
able eouversion. Ile suet Jesus and
heard the words, "Saul, Saul, why
pt.rsecutest thou Me?" There he
surrendered. and meekly asked,
'Lord what wilt Thou have me
to do?' Science cannot explain what
happened, Some critics have made
t. laughitilt-,tock of themselves by
suggesting that Saul suffered a
sunstroke, Well, read the record of
this man's carrying of the gospel
throughout Asia Minor and South
Eastern Europe, and read his 13
letters in the Nen Testament. If a
sunstroke could produce such a
changed man, thea it was the most
unusual sunstroke. No Saul s
changed by the power of God. He
was reborn as Jesus said all of us
Hurst be, "Except a man be born
again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God," John 3:3.
Saul was commissioned to carry
the message of Jesus Christ to the
people of the world other than the
Jews. liege was no mere social gos-
pel, though its power leavens all
society. This was no stere social
psychology, inviting sten to try to
do better. No, it was the message
of "the potter of God unto salvation,
unto everyone that believeth," hear
the commission "To open their eyes,
and to turn then( from darkness to
light, and from the power of Satan
tato God, that they mus receive
fargiviacss of. sins, 'and iuheritancc
among them( winch are sanctified
by faith that is in ole,"
Tltis is the message that is needed
today, 'Unless there is a heeding
of this truth, the nations will soon
be locked in the most terrible con-
flict this world has ever seen, Sin,
whether exhibited as pride, greed,
ambition, sensual living, or hate, is
fast leading men to destruction. Let
es examine our own hearts. Have
the repented and turned to God? Do
we enjoy the forgiveness of sins and
inheritance among the sancitibecl If
so, let tts urge upon others to heed
the Gospel.
IFP YOU DON'T GET ANGRY
YOU WON'T GET HIVES
As in many another adage, there
is truth in the honey warning:
'Don't let it get under your skin,"
In the Journal of the American
Medical association, Drs. David
T. Graham and Stewart Wolf re-
ported that there is a close•relation-
ship between an attitude of resent-
utent and the development of hives.
They studied thirty unselected pat-
ients with long standing cases of
hives, commonly called nettle rash,
These patients were not "allergic"
to the usual factors. Drs, Graham
and Wolf commented; "Attacks (of
hives) were highly correlated with
emotional disturbances of a particu-
lar kind, Traumatic life situations
responsible for lesions were almost
exclusively•those in which the pati-
ent felt resentment because he saw
himself as tate victim of unjust
tteatment about which he could do
nothing, Iit brief, these patients
considered themselves wronged or
injured (usually by someone in a
fairly close fancily relationship), and
they regarded the situation as one
which precluded any action on their
Parts. They believed that they
could neither retaliate nor run away.
In this setting they became intense-
ly (resentful," 5o came the rash.

Bell Rings Non-stop
For 110 Years
Way back in 1840, when elecrie-
ity seemed as youthfully new as
today's atomic potter, a whiskered
scientist connected 2,500 tiny bat-
teries and hitched them to the wor-
ld's first electric bell. When he
rang the bell, Queen Victoria was
still a young, unmarried girt, yet
the bell has been ringing continu-
ously ever since and still shows no
signs of stopping.
Sealed in a glass case, in a cup-
board of the Clarendon Laboratory,
Oxford, the bell has tinkled through
five reigns and rung a knell for
whole generations of the human
race Yet the scientists say it is
probably good for another two •
centuries and is the nearest - yet
approach to perpetual motion.
Though the chime sometimes
slows down it soots picks up and can
be heard two or three yards away.
Each battery is in reality a sand-
wich of paper thinly coated on one
side with copper and on the other
with zinc. Connected is two piles
a foot high, each pile has a bell.
Between the two bells a small brass
clapper hangs by a silken thread,
striking each bell twice a second.
Alternately repelled and attracted,
the clapper moves only an eighth
of an inch between the bells but
has so far produced 18,000,000,000
tinkles, •
With little indication of wearing
out, it is good for another 30,000,-
000,000. When nearly alt the woe-
ld's present - day electric gadgets
have been junked, this primitive '
piece of apparatus will still be in
working order!
"The best thing for you," said
the doctor, "is to give up drinking
and smoking and go to bed early
and get up early."
"Doctor," said the patient, "f
don't deserve the best. What's the
second best?"

If your lawn Is poor, now is the
time to begin working toward a
better one. Autumn is the best
lawn -making season, and will soa:t
be upon us.
* * w
Most lawn grasses are cool.
weather crops, Tltey grow best in
fall and spring. However, no
grasses will do well if they have
to complete with weeds, have to
survive in poor soil, have little
or no plant food, and must go
thirsty,
* * *
Watering the lawn is a present
activity for many of us, especially
those of us who live where drought
conditions are bad. The thing to
remember is "Soak; don't sprinkle,"
A weekly soalcing of the lawn 15
better than any number of nightly
sprinklings, Sprinkling wets only
the topmost soil and makes grass
roots grow toward the surface.
With the summer heat, they then
dry out and the grass turns brown.
* * *
There are many good watering
gadgets on the market. If you
i
have a large area awhirling one
is good; but in the smaller area,
with flower borders near, it is
better to use a steady spray of
some sort, In either case, leave it
in the same position until the
ground it reaches is deeply soaked.
If your lawn is level or slopes
only slightly the canvas hose at-
tachment with leaks in it called a
soil soaker is good over a long
period of time, moved at wide
intervals.
* * *
While you are not seeding the
lawn until autumn, the time to
get rid of weeds is now, during
the. summer. Several weed -killers,
if used according to directions,
have proved effective against many
of the broad-leaved . weeds like
plantain and dandelion.
If your lawn is badly infested
this may be worth while, Other-
wise, keep a basket and narrow
trowel handy and dig up weed%
every time you get a chance. A,
few moments in the cool of earl"
(horning or evening for several day0
will soon talce care of a medium.
sized lawn.
* �, *
One of the worst lawn weeds rq
crabgrass, and from now on itttd
early Fall this interlope(' Is rant•
pant in many a lawn. It is alt air
total with rather broad, tough
blades that lie flat in rosettes, and
it is a heavy seeder.
The lawntnower will usually clip
only the top blades of it, leaving
the main portion and the seed -
bearing parts close to the ground.
* * *
If you have only a little, dig it
up as fast as it comes. Eaclt plant
leaves a !tole, for the roots are
thick and spreading. Fill the !told
with good soil and a little food,
later seeding it, If you have a lot,
you may want to spade up the
area, enrich the soil, attd plant
grass seed and perhaps clover seed,
If you do this in ;tot weather, pro-
tection will have to be provided.
* 4' *
It is important to remember that
weeds will grow in a lawn wires
grass cannot thrive. In other words,
we need to look to the chief cause
of weeds, and while eliminating
the weeds also eliminate the trouble.
Int nnost cases this is lack of food.
If your turf is frail, easily dis-
couraged,ed the chances are that your
soil isn't deep enough, and contain
a starvation diet for grasses,
* 1 *
A few days later, loosen the soil
on the thin and bare spots and
plant seed. Large bare spots do
better if spaded before seeding. Roll
or tamp these areas and keep them
well sprinkled with a fine spray,
If it proves hot and dry protect
them with burlap or other light-
-weight covering,
* * *
Seed the lawn by sowing it
first one way, then at right angles
the other way, for evenness. Tamp
or roll it and protect it with brush
or other means. Keep it damp by
sprinkling regularly with a fnae
spray, The lawn that goes into
winter with a good start, and has
deep soil for its grass roots, should
be a joy next spring. You will be
glad you made tine effort,
