somewhat to the side, opened it, Pll
admit, rather cautiously. In walked
a harmless looking be -own dog, about
the sizo of a hound, and directly
after him stalked a full-grown deer
with. spreading antlere!
I closed the • door' softly, told the
children, who were greatly excited, to
keep very quiet, and then proceeded
to find out what my strange guests
wanted, The, dog walked about sniff-

of water that WEIS in tiae.sink. Me put
his fore -paws on Lim edge and gave a
most distressing howl. With all haste
I filled a pan and placed it on the

as necessary, .
Both dog and deer were very

THE HYMN OF LOVE AND
SERVICE.
Day was dying in the west. God's
own beautifsg creation, the sun, was
sinking once more behind the purple
hills. , Already Me western sky was
illuminated with steaks Of gold and
pink. Across the azure lake was
traced a path, by these brilliant rays
of golden light, which ended at the
edge of the water. Each little ripple
as it passed along, shone and glisten-
ed in its turn and then suddenly be-
came blue once mare.
A group of 'teen aged girls were
sitting. around a blazing campfire on
the eastern shore of the lake. The
time for closing had come, and the
leader as usual asked which hymn
they wished to sing before going to
bed. 1
"Jesus calls us b'er the tumult,"
called out it nuinber of the smaller
girls near the back of the group.
no I let us sing "0 Love that
will hot let Me go," said one of the
latger girls.
"No No!" fairly yelled a chorus of
voices, "Jesus calls us o'er the tu-
mult." -
“It is ,said the campleader,
"At the three junior camps I have at-
•tended' ihis year, a, etto

I even had a chance to ask them

"JeSiis calls us o'er, the tumult." Why

to ao many? Hays you •ever stopped
to consider, when you were singing it,
why it is year heart, and soul go into

“Ilavo' some of .the words of the
hyli1n. become fixed in your mind," she
continued, "and have others,. like- the
chaff' in grain, been calmly throtwn
aside? No! If you have onc0. sung it
with your heart full of love, yen could
never discard any of them. This is

as it is, from jesue, bidding us follow
in his footsteps, as did Andrew, his
apostle. Above all the strife, the wor-
ries of every -day life He calls to us
and His calm sweet voice bids us for-
get for a while our sorrows and our
,joys -and give ourSeIves Id Hinf 00
prayer, if it is only for a moment. It
is hard, yes, very hard sometimes, to
give up our earthly treasures, put
them mside, and worship the One, who,
though lie is not with us in body, is
I alwerys neer us, taking care of us.
I Just think of this verse for a moment.
i
"Jesus retie ns from our worship•,

I "God calls us from our joys, our
sorrows and pains, from every worry.
But what is our call iu life/ What
are we studying the Bible for, every
day, girls, in our morning sessions.

and -thus preparing ourselves so that,
if it is God's will, we will be ready to
do His bidding and serve Him f rah: -
fully and truthfully, with a love in
our hearts that will put aside every-
thing else, for the one true God, the
God who is Love."
The brilliant colors of the sunset
had faded to a greyish black. Only
the washing of the water over the
pebbles and the murinurieg of the'
wind in the treesabrolre the stillness
in the few moments which followed.
"Which hymn shall we sing to-
night?" asked the leader once more
"Jesue calls us'o'er the tumult' or--"
she could say no more.. Already the
girlish voices *ere pealing forth with
the love of their souls.
A couple of canoere, paddling past,
Iaid down their paddies and, restieg
with their heads in their hands, lis-
tened to the hymn of love and service.
And still they lingered. "Wait, Tom,"
said one. "Wait till we hee.r what
the girl who is standing in front is
going to say." Both young men bent
farther forward to catch the soft
words, and, still reclining, their heads
went down, for the yoting leader was
praying.
And just the same as God's day Was
ended, end all was etill and safe in
the arms of the lovieg Saviour, so were
the campers, and they /*tired to their
trundle betie to rest. But each girl,
before she lay down, slipped to ]lel
knees and offered herself to the One
end Almighty Power, the God, who
is love.

is THE ENGLISH
ROBIN
By Jesse Taylor, England
se*
The robin is a great favorite, with
everybody. Children especially love it.
It is a pleareuee to watch it as It is so
tame, and, when enticed, beeomes
quite frlenaly. We have admired its
lovely, red breast, shaded by gray, and
•
deepening tato brown. How graceful
ana. sprightly is this lianaseme bird!

good shape he is, and as for his singing.
powere they are 'exceptionel and very
sublime. • .
Robins 'are not all alike, all the
.woeld over. They differ in color coil-
stderably in different countries. In the
north of Europe the robin's breast in:
stead of being red is blue. In Aus-
tralia it Is pink, very emcee the sains
colea as the breaet of anligh

finete. .Thi fleet .tinie I eaEwtheAtis:
tralian nobin, I did isot really knew it
'was a robin because .the coloeing Was
so difterrent twin what seen in
England. Not only le the Coler of the
breast different, but its plumage ict en-
ttrely differentin addition to the
'breast being pink, Ile throat is white,
the .WInge are slightly- tipped with gold,
aral the back is a dark shining blue.
Although the. Australian robe/ 15. eo

yet it has all the Eeglise reliefs more -
meats. It shakes itself just le the
same way, and bowe just as gracefully,
it has the mute bright end expressive
eye. It is. also east as familiar ana
reedy to approach. anyone.- 3.wae not
very surprised therefore when I made
theme -lee about it to hear the words,'
"Oh, yes, Ito's a robin sure ,eninigh." '
One Sunday afternoon when I was sit-
ting reading in, the garden, a robin
came 'quite -near end' peeched upon a
fig tree that 7.505 Mtting :model', so I
had a geed, look at him, How wonder -

robin in a very descriptive way. He
says, "a robin's beak is 'its, month and
hands, its bag of, tootle, ita dressing

self, and its musical inatitma oat,"
These dre verfexpressive words. We

Burnt -Land Potatoes.
Dia you ever eat- any burnt -land po-
Mtoes? In Albert Ctiunty, New Bruns -
Wick, there are, people who would not
think of growing potatoes for their
tables on anything, except a .1dece ot
hardwood tiniber-land* that had been
fresely burned ovet•.
The farmer clears the land delving
•the witter. He fells the trees all in
the same direction and cuts the limbs
end distributes thent evenly ever the
ground so that the fire evill burn every-
thing clean. In the spring, tte soon, as
the frost is -well cut of the ground, he
burns the piece and teen, taking his
Deed potatoes and his meth hos, pro-
ceeds to 'plant. He (lige a little hots
arid loosens the eartli round it, plants
the potato and hills it up. Later he
may treat the vines with Paris green
for bugs, but that is all the attention
he gives the crop until it is time- to
dig.
In viewing all We stinamci and roots
you might expect that the farmer
would get only a small crop, As a
matter of fact the burnt land gives
him an 'unusual crop. With Me grub

Peek and -corner, clese up eound the
stumps and between the crotches of
large roots, By the time the potatoes
are in blossonithe entire field Iscover-

stumps are Itiddee tram view.
The blue varieties •of potato grown
on those burnt -over areas are particu-
larly curieue. The correspondent who
sends ug these facts says that he has
seen petateee grOwa all the way from
New Brenswick to southern Georgia,
end that nowhere else has he seen any
of those blue varieties either growing
or on the market. Not only is the skin
blue but there Is a blue ring about a
quarter of an inch beneath the ekiii.
Sometimes all the fifth of the potato
has a bluish tinge. The color 411S/41) -

In the nearaly towns burnt -land po-
tatoes have aerePutation that makes

to do soafer they are so day and inealY

when cooked in their skin.they hal%

meet be drained off as •soon as their
jackets begin to crack. No words can
descrlhe the superior texture atid
quality of burnt -land potatoes; to bo
appreciated they must be eaten.
Early settlers Prebably brought he
dark-skiened potatoes with them to
that part of Now. Brunswick. There
are eeveral different kinds, amoag-
which are seal's foot, kidney, early
blues and nigger tees. Netirly all of
them geese seed: balls, from.which the
farmers frequently raise new kinds.
