L ANXIETY OVER aeon, 24-27. The atelier part of chap. 6 deals -with the problems of Christian wor- ship, including alms -giving, prayer and 'fasting, vs. 1, 7, 16, Here Jesus teaches his disciples on ,the nature of the .God 'whom they are to worship', He is to be distinguished from Mam- mon. This word is common in the -ancient' eastern world and signifies wealth. It represents the God of this world. Jesus does not mean. that it is a sin to have money, but It is a sin • to worship' wealth. Those who look money as their great' support for to that of reading a congenial book be - •every time of need are really refusing to puttheir trust hr God.

The heathen who do not have the knowledge of the true Gal' naturally have these lower desires and think only of the struggle and gains of the earth, but the dleoiplee of Jesus are much better placed, since they have beep taught that there le a heavenly il'hther who lcolcs down. from above, .and who is .willing and able to supply all our needs. V, 38. The instruction now takes a ;positive form They must seek two things: 1. The kingdomofGod, which is the ruleof God in thisworlcl. They must strive to advance In the cause of God, so that all the forces of evil may be overcome, 2; .They must seals his, righteousness, which means the kind of rlgliteousness;whioh Gad de- sires. They must keep his eommand-. wants, tied exhibit a Imre, holy life. III. ANXIETY OVER 'rme amTURE, 34; V. 34. Again, Jesus warns his dis- ciples not against foresight, but against anxious care, So many pec- pie have 'forebodings of the future, 'and fear that they cannot meet the difficulties which they think may come. This fear is a sign of unbelief; it is also an evidence of,folly. Do the task of today, and leave the morrow to bring its own difficulty. If we waste our energy with worry we shall be less fit for the trial whenit does come. And when the evil does come God will give us strength to over- come. Thus in all this passage we see how minute is the care which our loving Father exercises over all his children, The Garden in Winter Time There is one pleasure that is equal.

But even the experiment of the Em- pire,Marketing Board has shown what can: be done in other' directions if energy is efficiently- and intelligently' applied. There is infinite room fore the application of such energy in an Empire embracing a quarter of the globe. The British Commonwealth is potentially a market and an economic unit beside. which the United States is a tiny dwarf. Can our statesmen. grasp the potentialities of this giant, and will - they have the'courage and the intelligence to cut his fetters? Clergy and the Esipire London Truth: There is one subject —but probably not more than one— upon which all the Bishops of the Anglican Church — High, Low or Broad, at home or overseas -are agreed, and this is that they cannot. obtain a sudfdciency of clergy..; . . But it is not merely the home bene- fices and curacies that have to be filled. -,From the Dominions and the mission fields the 'demand for clergy is :equally clamorous. Under existing condiations those regions cannot sup- ply their own needs; they are com- pelled to beg for clergy from Eng- land, and if they cannot get them Eng- lish settlers and native Christians have to go without religious ministra- tions. I say "under existing condi- tions," and the question which ought to be faced is whether those condi- tions need ---or, indeed, can—continue. It is simply impossible to provide a sufficient number of professional sti- pendiary clergy for small and scat- tered communities, such as are found in Western Canada or the "back blocks" of other Dominions.

The objection to the oil treatment is that it soon fouls the coat. Strong -smelling mixtures also toad to taint milk. Powders for Winter Use. Powders are more popular for win. ter • use on lice -infested -cattle and horses. Freshly -powderer 'pyrethrum Is effective when' well dusted upon the Infested parts. A blanket is then ap, piled and thorough brushing is' done the following day. Much of the pyre- thrum powder offered In the market Is adulterated and of little use. Pow- dered sabadilla seeds (Mexican Vera- trum Sabadilla is therefore. becoming popular for similar use. It: is an irri- tant poison and must be used care- fully. Treated animals must also be ,kept from licking"themselves or being licked'. by .their mates. A mixture of equal quantities of `powdered pyrethrum or sabadilla, to- bacco leaves or snuff, and flowers of sulphur, is excellent for louse destruc- tion on cattle and horses, Some stockmen even add a little finely -pow- dered Dement to the mixture,; but it is of doubtful value: as a louse killer. At seasons of the year when, liquids can safely be used, coal -tar dip,' made and applied as directed by the manu- facturer, is fairly effective. Kerosene • emulsion is also popular and in double strength is excellent for the treatment of vermin -infested stable stalls and fixtures. An even more effective liquid preparation for use on cattle .and horses can be made by boiling four ounces of stavesaere Or larlkspur.. seeds in a gallon of water. This is freely applied and rubbed in with a brush.—Do. A, S. Alexander.

Menusfor tl e Birds -in Winter To Editor, The winter season and bitter wea- ther are very hard on the birds. May I appeal to your readers to help them during this trying time by providing them with food and, particularly when the ground is frozen or covered with snow, with drinking water. Fine biscuit meal, hemp, canary seed, millet, linseed, cheese, suet, bits of fat and chopped -up meat make a comprehensive menu for many species of birds, and bread; crushed clog bis - cult, bacon, remains of porridge and baked potato skins are all acceptable. .A suspended cocoanut provides a con unreal entertainment by the acrobatic ;feats of the tits; if smeared with lard !every few days it will remain fresh l and soft. It is of course itltpprtant that all food should, be placed well out of the reach of cats. In hard weather birds that are na- turally shy and retiring lose their tint- idity in their urgent and impelling quest for food, and in this way a bird table is an easy means of snaking the acquaintance of many of the rarer birds: An important point, and one that is not often realized, is to continue feed- ing the birds well into the spring, as it is not till then that their natural food is easily cone by. The birds work 'hard during the spring and summer with their busy and untiring beaks in helping the food grower. Not only have they earned. some reward but it is to the interest of the community that they should be helped during the winter. ETHEL STRONG, Hon.
