REVENGE
A fugitive scientist from a Boris
karloff horror picture dreamed up
a serum that would bring inanimate
objects to life. He surreptitiously
tried it out on the statue of a gen-
eral in one of the parks
The statue gave a quiver and a
tnoment later the general, creaking
a bit in the joints, climbed down
from his pedestal. The scientist
was overjoyed. "I have given you
life," he cried. "Now tell me, gen-
eral, what is the first thing you are
going to do with it?"
"That's easy," rasped the gen-
eral, ripping a gun from his hol-
ster. "I'm going to shoot about
two million confounded pigeons,"

Seems Plumb Crazy—An unbelieving worker at site of a municipal
housing development stares at what appears to be outdoor
indoor plumbing. Passersby at first thought it was something new
in lampposts. Simple fact was that plumbers got ahead of
carpenters and installed pipes and fixtures before the houses
were up. There was some speculation on what would have
happened if the roofers had gotten there first.
C7wcz,i-d.,oLi.r e P. Ct®t r ,o
Why we still have a darn lye al,all
never know. There roust be some
explanation even though the don't
know the answer. Last 7 uesday
we scented to be getting the worst
of one of the many storms that
swept across this district during
the week, At that time we were in
the middle of having- a rather big
repair job done on the barn, When
the storm struck the entire front
of the barn was open to the weather
—110 doors. no siding, no anything
—and the barn practically empty,
Yet it was still there after the storm
had passed—including the roof!
The wind and hail came with ter-
rific suddenness. The carpeeter ran
to put up the windows in his truck
—anti then stayed in the cab. Part-
ner headed for the stables. I was
alone in the house and treat down
the cellar. Partner has always told
me that in the event of a bad wind-
storm to go down to the cellar and
stand against the huge old-fashion-
ed chimney that runs from: cellar
to attic. As you may have noticed,
even though . the rest of a building
is demolished the chimney still
stands. So there we were, Tippy,
Honey and I, listening to the huge
hailstot:es pounding on the roof and
window -panes; wondering how long
the barn would stay put and whe-
ther Partner and the carpenter
would come to any harm. Heavy
rain followed the hail so it was a
little while before any of us knew
what had happened to the rest of
11S.
WhCu w'C had a chance to loop
around it was with great thankful-
ness . only minor damage ,
a tree blown over; britches off
other trees scattered here and
there; shattered glass in two bed-
rooms. But the barn was still ,in-
tact, no one was hurt and even
the wheat was not seriously dam-
aged.
From the stable door Partner
had watched the poor cattle twist-
ing and turning, trying to escape
the bruising hail, and not under-
standing what it was all about.
They couldn't reach the shelter of
the barnyard as the lane gate was
shut—which was fortunate as they
were safer in the open even if they
didn't like it.
As soots as the storm was over
the men were back to work on the
barn again, Now it is finished—
even to a small door for me to go
in and
out so that

there is usually an old shed or hen-
house that might just as well come

amazing the amount of wood there
is in an old building and a lot of
it can be used as firewood. Of
course, some folic night not think
it worth saving and stake a bon-
fire of the "rubbish," We don't—
but then maybe it is because of our
experience out West that we appre-
ciste—altd utilize—any odds and
ends of wood that come our way.
On the prairie every stick of wood

ed farm near our half -section we

happening but no one was ever
caught.
Picking up wood last week also
reminded me of England.
Walking or driving along the
country roads it was not unusual
to sec oldish Wooten walking along
the roadside gathering "faggots"—
dead branches broken off the trees.
The women usually wore big ap-
rons bunched up to form a carrying
basket. Sometimes grandchildren
accompanied them, each one strug-
gling with as big a load of fag-
gots as he could carry, On big
estates, whenever any trees were
felled, the farts labourers were
allowed to take the branches for
their OW11 use. Some farm managers
however were not so generous and
w'ouid sell the branches to faggot
dealers. Dealers would strip the
branches, put dent up in bundles
—01, faggots—tie them with bark
and travel the country districts sell-
ing their wares at so much a faggot.
I doubt very touch if there are
any faggot dealers today—or
women picking up sticks along the
road. "The old order cltangeth,"

Millions Saved By Chance Remarks
Country Doctor Wipes Out Smallpox
On May 14th, one hundred and
fifty-five years ago, an English
country doctor made a discovery so
important that within a matter of
days his name became world fa-
mous. His birthday was made a
national holiday in Germany, Religi-
ous processions in his honour were
held in Roane and in every other
Roman Catholic country. Churches
throughout Europe Were thronged
with people offering thanksgiving
and sCI'Vlees were held on every
village grecs and in every lttarket-
place,
Yet when the dbetor responsible
for all this asked admittance to the
College of Physicians he was re-
fused unless he first passed an ex-
amination in the Classics,
His name was lanyard Deaner,
son of the Vicar of Berkeley, and
on May 14th, he made his first suc-
cessful vaccination against small-
pox.
Until then smallpox was as com-
mon as influenza is to -day. Any per-
son of middle age wisp was ttomark-
ed by smallpox was unusual enough
to be stared al,
The yearly death roll, not only in
England, but in every countess its
Europe, was staggering. Lack of
personal hygiene resulted in fre-
quent epidemics which decimated
populations Yet the cure carte by
accident, and for many years even
_termer did not believe it could be
so simple.
Be was eighteen at the time and
was apprenticed to a Sudbury sur-
geon wlhcn he heard a milkmaid
boast that she would never get
smallpox because she had had Cow-
pox -5 mild disease caught from
cows.
Blisters appeared on the udders
and anyone who touched the udders
contracted similar blisters on their
arms and body, After a fete days the
blisters dried up, leaving no narks
behind,
At that time the countryside was
full of weird and wonderful super -
talons and Jenner discounted the
story. For some reason, however,
Ise could not forget it and in his
spare ,time went round the farms
staking inquiries, only to find that
the milkmaid was right. Smallpox
never went where cowpox had been.
Jenner was still not convinced. To
cure such a scourge as smallpox in
such a simple manner was too easy.
So, for twenty years he investigated
all over the country. Then in 1788
Ise made up his mind that the "su-
perstition" was indeed fact.
He went to London and told his
story to medical committees and
colleges. They laughed at hits. It
could all be coincidence, they said.
He could not bring them any con-
crete proof, and everyone knew that
smallpox was far more virulent in
towns than in the country.
In the end it tools Jenner eight
years to find a way of proving his
theory. It was the ease with which
People caught cowpox which gave
hint the idea.
He took an eight-year-old boy
and gave him cowpox by inocula-
tion. He tools some fluid front a
blister 011 the arm of a milkmaid
named Sarah Nelmes and put it in
the veins of young Jim Phipps,
When the latter's blisters had died
away, Jenner then inoculated him
with smallpox germs—risking his
name and his reputation and per-
haps the boy's life.
f -Ie had the boy under his MD
constant surveillance, but nothing
happened. To make doubly sure he
placed the boy in physical contact
with smallpox cases. ,dim remained
perfectly healthy.
Such things cannot be kept secret
and long before the seventy doctors,
who were examining his claim, an-
nounced that it was successful, the
news had spread
It provoked a good deal of oppo-
sition. People said that it was
against the law of God for 5035' and
human to he so joined. Others were
afraid they would grow horns and
tail. Then the Countess of Berkeley
publicly had her children vaccinated
and 11111511 of the prejudice died
down.

Millions Saved By Chance Remarks
Country Doctor Wipes Out Smallpox
On May 14th, one hundred and
fifty-five years ago, an English
country doctor made a discovery so
important that within a matter of
days his name became world fa-
mous. His birthday was made a
national holiday in Germany, Religi-
ous processions in his honour were
held in Roane and in every other
Roman Catholic country. Churches
throughout Europe Were thronged
with people offering thanksgiving
and sCI'Vlees were held on every
village grecs and in every lttarket-
place,
Yet when the dbetor responsible
for all this asked admittance to the
College of Physicians he was re-
fused unless he first passed an ex-
amination in the Classics,
His name was lanyard Deaner,
son of the Vicar of Berkeley, and
on May 14th, he made his first suc-
cessful vaccination against small-
pox.
Until then smallpox was as com-
mon as influenza is to -day. Any per-
son of middle age wisp was ttomark-
ed by smallpox was unusual enough
to be stared al,
The yearly death roll, not only in
England, but in every countess its
Europe, was staggering. Lack of
personal hygiene resulted in fre-
quent epidemics which decimated
populations Yet the cure carte by
accident, and for many years even
_termer did not believe it could be
so simple.
Be was eighteen at the time and
was apprenticed to a Sudbury sur-
geon wlhcn he heard a milkmaid
boast that she would never get
smallpox because she had had Cow-
pox -5 mild disease caught from
cows.
Blisters appeared on the udders
and anyone who touched the udders
contracted similar blisters on their
arms and body, After a fete days the
blisters dried up, leaving no narks
behind,
At that time the countryside was
full of weird and wonderful super -
talons and Jenner discounted the
story. For some reason, however,
Ise could not forget it and in his
spare ,time went round the farms
staking inquiries, only to find that
the milkmaid was right. Smallpox
never went where cowpox had been.
Jenner was still not convinced. To
cure such a scourge as smallpox in
such a simple manner was too easy.
So, for twenty years he investigated
all over the country. Then in 1788
Ise made up his mind that the "su-
perstition" was indeed fact.
He went to London and told his
story to medical committees and
colleges. They laughed at hits. It
could all be coincidence, they said.
He could not bring them any con-
crete proof, and everyone knew that
smallpox was far more virulent in
towns than in the country.
In the end it tools Jenner eight
years to find a way of proving his
theory. It was the ease with which
People caught cowpox which gave
hint the idea.
He took an eight-year-old boy
and gave him cowpox by inocula-
tion. He tools some fluid front a
blister 011 the arm of a milkmaid
named Sarah Nelmes and put it in
the veins of young Jim Phipps,
When the latter's blisters had died
away, Jenner then inoculated him
with smallpox germs—risking his
name and his reputation and per-
haps the boy's life.
f -Ie had the boy under his MD
constant surveillance, but nothing
happened. To make doubly sure he
placed the boy in physical contact
with smallpox cases. ,dim remained
perfectly healthy.
Such things cannot be kept secret
and long before the seventy doctors,
who were examining his claim, an-
nounced that it was successful, the
news had spread
It provoked a good deal of oppo-
sition. People said that it was
against the law of God for 5035' and
human to he so joined. Others were
afraid they would grow horns and
tail. Then the Countess of Berkeley
publicly had her children vaccinated
and 11111511 of the prejudice died
down.

Porch Table
One fancily has made a small
back porch more livable by adding
"drop" furniture, This tamily en-
joyed eating on the porch, but
there was not room for a table, so
a wide shelf was hinged securely
to a side wall. Topped with plain
waxed linoleum, it is both attrac-
tive and easy to keep clean; for
the table is used for other pur-
poses, such as peeling fruit and
v.:Petables and even for 'Sewing.
Against another wall, a hinged
bench has been placed for increased
seating space when the fancily ga-
thers on the porch in the evening.
This, together with folding chairs,
t t
provides seating accommodations
o ations
for a number of people with no
sense of crowding. When not in
use it swings back :lose to the

CHRISTIAN SOCIAL LIFE
Romans 12:1-2; 1 Cor, 8;
1 John 2:15-17
Memory Selection: Know ye not
that ye are the temple of God, ant*
that the Spirit of God dwelleth is
you? -1 Cor, 3-16,
When we realize the lull portent
of Paul's urge "that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, at-
ceptabfe unto God, which is your
reasonable service" we view the
body in a different Wit. It, too,
is to be holy. It is readily seen thein
why adultery, fornication, gluttony
and drunkenness are :sinful. put!
bodies are tits 1 sacred, set apart
for. God's story, We should] sowfor them so that we nim offer more
effIefent serviee to HillisThatdoes
not mean, than the pariintount cons
cern of our lives. will' be,. "What
shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall' we be
clothed'?"' The answer of Jesus is,
"Your Heavenly FatherItnowetll
that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his.righteousuess, and alt
these things' shall be added unto
yob."
In today's lesson Paul points -out
true Christian, charity. We rust
be careful how we live for the sake
of our influence on others. "lichen
ye sin so against the brethren,
and wound their weak consciences,
ye sin against Christ. Wherefore,"
said Paul, "if neat make my bro-
ther to offeudl. I will eat no flesh
while the world standeth, lest 1
make my brother to offend," Of
course Paul was speaking of meat
which had been dedicated to idols.
Some Christians could not cat it
with a clear conscience. We can-
not please everonc but we must
not carelessly put a stumbling block
in another's way. We must care for
one another, If we are truly God's
then His Spirit dwells in us, We
are the temple of God.
If we walk hi the light of the
truths taught here is will be a,
force for righteousness Li the neigh-
bourhood where we live. Good',
neighbours snake up, a good nations
Only as Gods has us, soul and body,.
can we do, our part, Let 146. make
the cornplete consecration.
