Barclay Warren B,A,, R.D, A Witness In Chains Acts 28: 16-24, 30-31 Memory Selection; In all these things we are more than con- querors through Him that loved us, Romans 8;37, Even in prison Paul proved that, "All things work together 'f'or good to them that love God," In his letter to the Philippians he said, "I would ye should un- derstand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me (have fallen out rather unto the ',furtherance of the gospel; so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; and many of the brethren in the Lord, wax- ing confident by my bonds, are ;much more bold to speak the word without fear," (1:12-14), Nearly half of Paul's letters which appear in our New Tes- tament were written from pri- son in Rome. In them there is no trace of bitterness. He made no accusation against the people responsible for his. unjust impri- sonment. They are messages from a joyful and loving heart. The key ward of his letter to the Philippians is, 'Rejoice.' Seven- teen times in four short chap. ters, some form of joy or re- joice occurs. He writes in tri- umph, "I have learned, in what- soever state I am, therewith to be content" and, "My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus," Paul needed his prison 4•xperienee for our sake. Without it he could never have written iso helpfully for the sick and troubled. The fourth chapter of the P h i l i p p i a n letter has strengthened many. Paul has been criticized for going up to Jerusalem when he shad been warned that he would be imprisoned. Well, who are We to judge this great man? Je- sus, knowing of His decease `which He should accomplish at Jerusalem, steadfastly set His ace to go to Jerusalem. So Paul seemed impelled by the Holy Spirit to go up to Jerusalem. When his closest friends, includ- ing Luke, heard the Divine pre- diction at Caesarea and beset him not to go, he said. "What mean ye to weep and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die et Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." Acts 21:13. If people always shrank from im- minent dangers we would have few missionaries, God had His hand on Paul and was leading Him, He was fitting him to be e greater blessing, SOFT-SOAPER - Sonia Thomp- son, 3, is a soft-soaper whose theme song could be "I'm For- ever Blowing Bubbles." i� GRAIN BOX CO HOPPER FEEDER 1• ELEVATOR 0, CROP PRYER .,;N hlllti CROFDRYING,�� the WAGON d DALE CARRIER HAYCRUISER BALER BARN CLEANER , O MANURE SPREADER 0 SILO UNLOADER 0 AUGER BUNK FEEDER t) BLOWER d CROP CARRIER A FARM OR A FACTORY? - Today farms are food factories. And many use industry -inspired methods like mass production and mechanized handling of materials. Sketch shows a highly mechanized dairy farm where the machines lighten the farmer's chores around the barn and its immediate area where as much as 80 per cent of the work on a dairy farm is concentrated. Materials -handling machines like the barn cleaner, silo unloader and bale carrier reduce need for manpower and allow greater farm efficiency and profits. Sketch from Sperryscope magazine, TIIESA1ThI P1?ONf John. ' Fame of the Entomology Re- search Institute for Biological Control at. Belleville, Ont„ has spanned the world. During the past two years, 6,000 species of predacious mites have been sent to Belleville from many parte of the world for identification. These came from almost every country , in Europe, from many countries in Central and South America, and from Australia, India, Burma, Nepal, Japan and the Philip- pines. * o „ To date, say Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture researchers, over 80 species new to science have been found. To describe and name them involved de- tailed studies of the predacious mites of, for example, Algeria and Central America, Nearly 30,000 species of mites microscopic organisms related to spiders - are known, Many of them damage agricultural crepe and fruit trees, especially those sprayed with DDT, which destroys the enemies of mites, o a * Damage would be much great- er if the pest species were not attacked and killed by preda- cious mites. Agriculturists dis- agree on the value of these pre- dacious species, and it was in the search of. the answer that investigations were launched at Belleville, A relatively minor aspect of these investigations developed into a major project. 9 b * Belleville scientists soon found that some of the predacious mites were species new to science. These had to be des - c r i b e d and given scientific names. When this was done, Dr. D. A. Chant, leader of the re- search group, found himself re- cognized as an expert on the classification of predacious mites. Investigations on the value of the predacious mites indicate that in some situations they are less valuable than has been sup- posed, because they f e e cl 0n plants as well as on the plant - feeding mites. However, in other situations they effectively pre- vent serious damage to crop plants. , ,,. Sucking lice can reduce the number of red blood cells in cattle: by as much as half, warns Dr. W. 0.

When this happens, he points out, their resistance to unusual exercise, rigorous weather, se- vere conditions altransporta- tion, and disease is reduced7 * u * Seine cattle are highly sus- ceptible to biting and sucking lice and if k e p t in crowded quarters during winter on main- tenance rations, they quickly spread the infestation. Thus control by spraying, washing cr dusting is vital. 4, 4. 4; Spraying or washing cattle in cold, windy weather in winter involves the risk of respiratory diseases. This should be done in a warm building and cantle given comfortable' shelter until they are dry. Failing this, it is ad- visable to use an insecticide dust for temporary control. * a * Dusts must be applied at two- , week intervals. While less ef- fective than spraying, dusts re- duce lice sufficiently to prevent severe anemia until the cattle can be sprayed during the first warm weather. A systematic insecticide such as ronnel in the form of boluses is satisfactory for urgent treat- ment of animals during severe weather, Three doses are requir- ed at 10 -day intervals. Each should contain five grams of the active ingredient for each 100 pounds of the animal's weight. Sixteen Years To Grow A Rose! On a sunny day this coming summer a lovely red rose will be ceremoniously plucked from a large rose tree on a grave at Mannheim, Pennsylvania, and presented to a beautiful young woman. A simple ceremony like this has been carried out every June since 1772, when rose -loving Baron Heinrich Wilhelm Stiegel died at Mannheim, leaving his fortune to a local church on one condition. This was that each June, when the roses he loved were bloom- ing everywhere, a rose should be taken from a specially plant- ed tree above his churchyard grave and presented to his youngest and 4120s t attractive woman descendant. A slim, pretty teenager who lives in Pennsylvania will be this year's recipient. Like others before her who have received an "inheritance rose," as it is called, she will keep it until she dies One of the Baron's descendants travelled more than 300 miles to receive her rose some years ago. If there's one flower which is rarely out of the news, it is the rose. Rose breeders are still try - Ing to produce the "perfect rose." One of the finest produced in re- cent years is a hybrid tea rose, a rock pink bloom with a deli- cate scent. The man who pro- duced this exquisite newcomer to the rose world is said to have worked on it secretly for six- teen years. Tremendous interest has al. ways been shown in Britain in the cultivation of roses which are the finest flowers natural to that soil, although there "birthplace" was Persia. Only ten kinds of roses were known in England in 1581 A century later we hear of nine- teen, and in a book on gardening published in 1708 nearly flfty species are mentioned. Twenty. three million roses 1n more than 500 'different varieties were grown in Britain before the war. The oldest rosebush on earth is at Hildesheinl, Germany, where wartime bombs which did _great damage to the town failed to stop its growth. Legend says itwas planted by Charle- magne more than 1,000 years ago. Roses are not merely decora- tive and sweet-smelling. They helped to fight disease in Brit- ain during the war. Rose hips, the fruits of rose shrubs, are rich in vitamin C, and when it was impossible to get oranges the hips were collected to make na- tional rose hip syrup, an anti- scorbutic for children. In one year, 1943, 500 tons of rose hips were picked from British hedges and made 2,500,000 bottles of syrup -equal in vitamin , con- tent to 25 `million oranges. When we talk of a lucky per- son we sometimes say he's "on a bed of roses." Well, a notori- ous early governor of Sicily did habe such a bed. He extorted $1,000,000 from the people and had himself carried by eight men on a bed stuffed with countless rose petals. On his head he wore a crown of roses and round his neck, rose garlands. Dip into history and you find scores of references to roses. The Emperor Nero loved them, He once spent more than $160,000 procuring rose blooms for a single magnificent feast. When he entertained in the open air a fountain in his garden sometimes sprayed rose-water. It's been calculated recently that 3,500,000. roses are needed to make one quart of pure attar of roses, the world's most ex- pensive natural flower essence. There is a rose garden nearly thirty miles long in Bulgaria which produces forty tons of attar of roses annually. It was partly destroyed by the Nazis but is now flourishing again. Housewives used to make home -produced rose water to im- prove their complexions in Vic- torian times. In the early morn- ing they gathered the blooms of "cabbage" roses while the dew was still on them, They picked off the petals and prepared "a delicate concoction" which toned up their skin, An excellent jam is made from rose petals in some parts of Europe. Before the days of syn- thetic syrups, chopped rose petals added to sugar and baked in an oven was a favourite flav- ouring for cakes. Few rose lovers know that the Empress Josephine was so keen to assemble the world's best roses in her garden at Malmaison that she gave a certain Mr. Ken- nedy, of Hammersmith, London, a special passport. This enabled him, war or no war, to travel hetween Britain and France "in the service of the Empress's roses." Imagine paying your rent with a rose. This is what Sir Christo- pher Hatton, Lord Chancellor to the first Queen Elizabeth. paid for Ely Place, which he occupied When an electric company sought permission in 1931 to run cables across ground in Kent owned by the journalist and edi- tor, the late Arthur Mee, he said he would accept a token payment annually of a red rose as rent In June of every year after that, until he died in 1943, Mr. Mee received a newly plucked red rose from the manager of • the company. He used to press each rose, dry it and then place it in a rent book, Mystery Monster Will the Loch Ness Monster be caught eventually by echo soun- der? Recently Donald Patience, of Avon, Ross - shire, used his echo sounder while navigating the Loch, and it picked up some. thing which, to say the least, sounded fishy. The echo pinged against some- thing alive at a depth of ninety- five fathoms. Records show that at the point where the reaction was registered, the true depth is 110 fathoms. The report greatly interested Mrs. Constance White, of Clach- naharry, Inverness, author of a book on the monster, and an ardent researchist into its habits, authentic and mythical. She hopes •other skippers will switch on their sounders when sailing through the Locb and let her have details of anything unusual that is picked up. There is no doubt something odd inhabits these quiet Scottish waters, Too many responsible people have reported seeing the monster for their evidence to be discarded as absolute moonshine.

Some tilnes the thunder mutt:rs deep-toneol threats over the dark mass of trees while the black rain pat- ters incessantly onto the broad! banana leaves and strives to shake the quiet might of tho sacred pipal tree. More often there is no rain, and the trees stand silent in cold darkness or chill moonlight ail night long. Not a sound can you hear, save when a bird utters an eerie cry, as in a dream, flutters about in the branches, and is quiet again. If you want to catch the dreamy loveliness of a winter's morning, you must wake up be- fore the sun does and go into the orchard. You will hear the hundred thousand notes that make up the great morning hymn of the birds. You will find the trees shrouded in a gauze of blue mist. You will see the sun's first rays pierce the blue like a sheaf of gilt arrows and light up the dewdrops caught in the cob- webs on the grass, making them glitter like diamonds. Little by little the sunshine spreads over the orchard, cast- ing on each object the spell of its golden touch. The air loses its chill and becomes warm and balmy, and the green guavas drink in the golden warmth that will make them swell out round and full and tightly packed with soft, white, seeded sweetness. (But only the red -beaked par- rot knows which ones are sugar - sweet, so pluck from the tree where this bird has pecked.) Many mingled scents are waft- ed to you - the lovely frag- rance of white jessamine flow- ers, the fresh smell of lime leaves, the delicate perfume of wild -pear blossom, the smells et moist earth and green grass. Lying there on the grass, you can hear the honey bees buzzing drowsily in the white pear tree and see the butterflies hovering around the red hibiscus flowers that loll out long, pollen -covers, tongues. They are intruders in the orchard, but the lady of the garden lets them grow, along with the jessaupine flowers, tl9 make garlands to sell in the Mar- ket place. You can hear the sil- ver tinkle of her anklets as she passes with bare, henna -dyed feet down the winding path and, from the distance, come the in- cessant cooing of the doves and the sharper call of the hoopoe searching for insects in the bark with its pointed beak. - By Ni- lofer Ahmed in the Christian Science Monitor, ISSUE 13 - 1960 TWO WHO ESCAPED FROM THE EARTH - Willis Carter (left), 46, and Kyle Blair, 29, who clawed their way around a wall of fire and fallen timber for 2,500 feet to escape from a mine cave-in at Logan, W.
