A few people cannot read the 131-
ble, but everybody can pray. How •
true are the words of Tennyson,
"More things are wrought by•pray-
er than this world dreams of." Our
Lord gave us a pattern for prayer.
We too often glibly repeat it with-
out entering into the spirit there-
of. In this prayer we conte in rev-
erence as a child to his 'father. Yet.
it is not "my Father" but "our
Father." We belong to a great fa-'
roily, Our first petition is not for
self but for God's Kingdom, We
ask forgiveness, recognizing our
own obligation to forgive.
The golden text is a decided
challenge. The knock of importun-
ity will procure for us all that we
need. God can distinguish our
needs from our wants. He will
supply the former. Prayer is com-
nsunion with God.
In the last part of the lesson we
have a glimpse of the prayer. of in-
tercession. Too many professed
Christians never get past, "Lord,
give me." But the growing Chris-
tian is burdened for the welfare of
others. Paul was such a man. He
lived to serve. The world needs
more intercessors: more people who
can pray the fervent effectual pray-
er in behalf of others.
"Prayer is the soul's sincere de -
Ore,
Uttered or unexpressed;
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
0 thou, by whom we come to
God,
The Life, the Truth, the Way,
The path of prayer thyself haat
trod:
Lcrd, teach us how to pray!"
YOUR TURN NOW
A club of eccentric young meta
had for one of their rules that on
Tuesday evenings any ratan who ask-
ed in the clubroom a question
which he was unable to answer him-
self should pay a fine of ten shill-
ings. One evening Tomkinson ask-
ed: "Why doesn't a ground squirrel
leave any dirt around the top of his
hole when he digs it?"
After some deliberation he was
called upon to answer his own ques-
tion. "That's easy," he said. "The
squirrel starts at the bottom and
digs up."
"All very nice," suggested a mem-
ber, "but how does it get to the
bottom?"
"That's your question," answered
Tomkinson.

The other clay Partner called me
outside. "Listen," he said. I lis-
tened. What I heard was something
like the whirring of machinery.
"What on earth " I began.
"IVateb the oak tree," said Partner.
So I -watched, Soon I noticed the
tree was absolutely alive with star-
lings—and they, of course, were
responsible for all. the noise. A lit-
tle farther away another tree had
also apparently been selected as a
meeting place and the birds began
flying back and forth front one tree
to another. I never saw so many
starlings in all my life—and conte
to think of it, it was the day after
the smoke haze had cleared away,
so maybe even the starlings got
somewhat confused.
\Ve are also thinking the smoke
was indirectly responsible for the
sudden arrival of the lovely autumn
colours. The smoke prevented the
sun's rays from reaching the earth
so we got cold weather and frost
and that automatically decked out
the trees for us in colours of red
and gold. Logical, isn't it? What-
ever the reason the country is
really beautiful , . . it would be
nice to drive for miles and miles
through wooded country t.1though
actually that is hardly necess..ry
for us because we have scenery
within a ten -mile radius of home
that would certainly be hard to
beat.
This has been a busy week and
even now I have hardly got my
bearings, as it were. I was away
front home for two days and im-
mediately afterwards came our local
fair—also daughter and a friend
arrived from Toronto. It was a
wonderful day for the fair and
from all accounts it gets bigger
and better every year—which speaks
well for the Fair board responsible
for the complicated business of or-
ganizing the show. Unfortunately
for me, by that time I was slightly
under the weather and so was not
able to go , . and I did so want
to see the Women's Institute exhi-
bits, However, even if I did not
get to the Fair I was compensated
to a certain extent by a caller who
arrived while 1 was alone with a
huge armful of gladioli, Most of
ahem I put in tall containers but
one stalls I used as an experiment,
breaking off the blooms and ar-
ranging thein in a bed of foliage
es the flori-t had shown us in her
demonstration the week before. The
result was very effective,
Well, well—again the main worry
with housewives seems to be flies.
Flies that had taken to their winter
quarters have now come out of
hiding to bask in the bright warm
sun. And now they are out they are
so stupid all they can do is flop
around and bus until they pretty
nearly drive you crazy. So we have
flies in the house, and if we go out-
side to escape them we are imme-
diately confronted with a cloud of
gnats. As for cobwebs—it just
seems that spiders you don't even
see spin webs while you wait either
indoors or out. So it loolcs as if
everything that creeps, crawls or
flies is out to enjoy our Indian sum-
mer. Oh yes, it is certainly grand
weather but 'already farmers are
beginning to look anxiously for
rain. Never satisfied, are we? But
after all, when you have spent days
and days working up a field, and
have bought fertilizer and sowed
your wheat, you do hope for a little
co-operation from the weatherman,
don't you? But if things art not
going your way you can forget your
worries .for a while if you have.
something interesting to read.
That is what I was doing last
week—digging into a very interest-
ing book where I learnt some sur-
prising things. It was "Life Among
The Doctors" by Paul De Kruif and
I was particularly interested in a
chapter describing the research
work of Dr. Alvin F. Coburn—a
Naval 1.1.0. in the U.S.A.—in con-
nection with rheumatic fever. Ap-
parently research has brought to
light a strange fact—that while all
sore throats do not develop into
rheumatic fever, yet all cases of
rheumatic fever that were investi-
gated revealed that there had been
a certain type of sore throat before-
hand. Then it would clear up and
for two weeks the patient would
show no sign of sickness. Then a
sudden flare-up and he would be
down with rheumatic fever. Dr. Co-
burn began experimenting with diet
and it was found that patients given
as much as 8 egg -yolks a day fol-
lowing the sore throat did not de-
velop the fever. The next move
was to discover what there was in
egg -yolk that prevented infection.
Research was well under way, sup-
ported by the Kellog Foundation,
when it was suddenly withdrawn.
Dr, Coburn could not carry on
without money so, unless there
have been discoveries since this
book was written the riddle of the
egg -yolk is still unsolved. But there
is nothing to stop anyone with a
sore throat eating egg-yolks—they
couldn't do nearly as much harm as
might be caused by swallowing a
whole lot of patent medicine.

THEY GET PAID FOR
GOING TO THE DOGS
The authorities of the Northern
Teritory of Australia have just paid
P. H. Alien and D, Blyth $30,000
apiece for going to the clogs. They
are professional dingo (wild dog)
destroyers, and their average bag
is 50-100 a week. They are paid a
basic wage of $40 a week, ten dol-
lars camping allowance, and $5 for
each skin they bring in, for no
claims are allowed unless some part
of the animal is produced.
For theist the job is not difficult,
but for the average city dweller
it would be impossible. Dingoes
worry sheep and cattle, and each
year frill or maim tens of thousands,
They are extremely cunning, and if
they know that a hunter is on their
trail they evade him.
But these two Hien have been
schooled in every trick the dingo
can produce. As the dingoes roam
over a wide area, traps and gins are
useless, and the only way to exter-
minate theta is - by tracking theist
down and shooting—often at night
when the animals are moving fast.
Thus, both Allen and Blyth have
to be marksmen of a high order.
