And he has a good idea of what he is talking about, as he was brought up on a farm and last year had one of the best back yard gardens in that city. Ile points out that to get success, attention must be given to weeds, hoeing, waering, etc, His fear is that some of the gar- dens started in xacant lots will be ne- glected, With back yard gardens a man rrs women, can go out in spare half- hours and do all the work necessary after the first work is done, But to get success in new gardens, he says, there should be good earth placed on top and fertilizer used.

Radishes are frequently sown with other crops which are not such rapid growers, such as pare - a: ps, They should, however, be pulled out before the parsnips or other crops need the ground. Sud- eessive planting is also advised for this crop. Radish seed may be, planted in rows, four Inches 'part or broadcasted, the depth preferred be - lug from a quarter to half an inch only. Radish as a general rule re- quire no thinning, and the suit be- tween the rows should be kept loose with the hoe. • A crop of winter radish may be obtained if the seed is sown about the first of August. These should be thinned out to three Inches apart. SPINACH, , Spinach is a short season erop which is grown to pro- vide table greens.

The (mien is grown for seasoning, pickling, and for eating of onions A (arra percentage 0 sa h p o stored fear winter use are grown from seed planted in the soil very early in the spring. Tho soil should be rich, moist and well drained, but fresh manure is not the best to apply. The seeds should be planted ata depth ot,nbout one -halt inch, and the rows should be from twelve to fourteen inches apart, The seed should be planted very thinly so that there will be no need for extra thinning of the onions. Cultivation should coase when the onion tops are such a size as to prevent easy Work. In the fall when the tops are about two-thirds died down the onions should be pull- ed and laid in windrows so arranged that the bulbs are covered with the tops of the onions. This prevents any sunburn which causes consider- able trouble in storage. After they have been 'kept In this position for five or six days they may be gathered up and placed in a slat box or basket and tied up some way -so that the rain will not get at them and the wind will have plenty of chance to cirent to around the bulbs. The tops may be removed from the onions at this time if so desired, .or they may be left cu. Dutch sets may be planted as close together as they will stand in a straight row very early in the season. They should be barely covered with soil, which should be well firmed by tramping on it, and the green onions should be pulled as soon as they aro ready for use. PEAS, Peas may planted very early tit the season, and for the early crop the sped should be sown in a furrow of two inches deep and the seeds placed an inch'apart. Some ar- rangements should. be made so that the, pea vines will have some sup- port. Limbs of trees or chicken wire may be used Lor this purpose, as the vines will cling to this for sup- port and will be kept up from the ground. This support should be set preferably at the time of planting. This soil should be drawn up around the vine, 13111ANS. Generally speaking, it is not a good practice to add fresh man- ure to the soil where one expects to grow beans. They prefer a moist, deep loam. The seeds should be planted fairly early in the spring. The rows being at least eighteen in- ches apart. A furrow two Inches deep may be made with the corner of a boo and the seeds placed froin two to three inches apart in the bottom of this furrow. Another way which le sometimes followed in planting beans is .to make boles two inches deep twelve inches apart and in each hole three or four seeds be placed. It is always advised not to touch the plant When they are wet.

Clean shaving on the firing line, possible only with a Gillette, has saved endless trouble in dressing face wounds. In the hands of orderly or nurse it shortens by precious minutes the preparations for . operating. Later, in the hands of the patients, it is 'a blessing indeed ! As soon as their strength begins to return, they get the Gillette into action, and fairly revel in the finishing touch which it gives to the welcome clean- liness of hospital life. For though he can use but one hand—and that one shaky—a man can shave himself safely and comfortably with a Gillette Safety Razor. 11 may seem a little thing to you to send a Gillette to that lad you know Overseas, but to him it will mean so much ! It will bring a touch of home comfort to his life on active service, and be even more appreciated if he gets "Blighty'. 240 ��u 'll .I I I� '!

R. M. Stearns. The first part or this lesson Is the record of the so called triumphal entry into Jerusalem, but it was really one of the saddest days of Iris ii e, for as He beheld the city Go wept over it, because they ]mow not what He longed t0 do tor thorn (Luke xis, 41.44), By riding upon the ass' colt Ile literally fulfilled the predication 111 Zech, ix, 9, and the time draws near when He will just as literally fulfill the next verse and speak peace unto the nations and have dominion over all •the earth. Then 'shall IIe make wars t0 cease in all the world, and the nations shall learn war no more (Ps. xlvi, 9; Ira. it, 4). Then shall Mcptt. RI, 14-17, be literally ful- filled. "The king of Israel, even the Lord, Is in the midst or thee; thou shalt not see evil any more." Then shrill all the world indeed go after Rim (verse 10), for when the Lord shall make bare His holy arm in the eyes of all tie ria-, tions all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God and shall turn unto the Lord, and all nations shall worship before lltm (Isa. Ili, 0, 10; Ps, xxil, 27. 28; Ixxxvt, 9). All that Ile was prevented from accomplishing at His first coming shall surely be ful- filled at Rio coming again. The desire of the Greeks to see .lesus and Ens reply are all suggestive of the time of which we have just been speak- ing and or the age of suffering through which we are still passing because of the rejection of Him and His kingdom and its consequent postponement. He is the wheat that had to die in order to boar fruit, and His followers must be content to travel the same road (verses 20-20). Instead of praying to be saved from the hour to which He had now come, His prayer was, "Fa- ther, glorify Thy name!" And the Fa- ther answered from heaven, "1 have both glorified it and will glorify it again (verses 27, 28). To the people the voice sounded like thunder, but to (dim the words were clear (verses 29, 30). Put with this the other two testi- monies of the Father from heaven, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased," and, "This is my be- loved Son, in whom 1 am well pleased; bear ye Rim" (Matt. ill. 17; xvil. 5), and may we become so well pleased in• Rim that the Father may bo well pleased in us. lien shall weglorify y v' wer God, titch is thea one thing are here to do (i Cor. x, 81; 1 Pet. Iv, 11). Because the rightful Ring is rejected the devil continues to be the prince of this world, the god of this wm'ld, and the whole world ileth in 'the wicked one (verse 31, xis, 30; xvi, 11; II Cor. iv, 4; I John v, 19, R. V.). Having to contend with such adversaries as the world, the flesh and the devil, we can better understand His sayings: "Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines and nestilences and earthquakes in divers places. See that ye be not troubled. In the world. trib- ulation; in me, peace" (Matt. xxiv, 6,7; John xvi, 88; Luke xd, 25, 20). The past two years of these things in an unparalleled degree convince us that we have entered upon the closing years of the times of the gentiles, and, while His followers have always been ex petted to be ready to lay down their lives for His sake, in these perilous last clays, when the food of the church is being so thoroughly leavened and the world in so many forms is being welcomed by the professing church, it is necessary to be very, very peculiar in the eyes of many and absolutely re- fuse to listen to any discrediting of any part of the \Vord of God, or to making light of anything taught there- in, or to have any fellowship with any- thing in the church which is purely of this preset evil age and not of God. We must learn to say with new em- phasis, "To me to live is Christ," and all that Is not directly from Him and for Tains we cannot touch. It must bo fully and always "Not I, bnt Christ," "Not 1, but the grace of God," the self life reckoned dead that the life of .Te - sus may be made manifest (Phil. i, 21; Gal. it, 20; I Cor. sv, 10; II Cor. iv). Bear with me'for saying it so often. But when we consider that Efo never pleased Himself, .never sought Ells own Will or His own glory, how can we fol- low Elim except by a similar renuncia- tion of self? Anything like preferring the praise of men more than the praise of God cannot bo tolerated (verse 431, and a desire to be thought original is anything we say or do 15 wholly ruled out by the fact that Go said only what the Father told Him to say, and all Ms works were wrought by the Fa. tber In Elim (verses 40, 50; xiv, 10).
