III, Tim,60N08 1 Tim, 2 Thu. 2 1-5. Paul is writing words of friendship and wise counsel to hsa younger friend and Fellow-wc.ker, timothy Con- verted to faith in Christ oy Paul's preaching he had been the apostle's companion for some time' on his see- m d and third anise nary journeys. At the time of the writing of this, and probabl,, also of the second, letter he was at Ephesus hi Asia Minor, meet- ing serious difficultiea, and in need of such t.ounsel and encourage.nent as Paul could give. Here then Paul is advlsin Timothy regarding his own behavior. Certain false teaching has euteved the church, "Shut your mind against these profane drivelling myths; train fez' the religious life," Moffatt, v. '7. The discipline of the body has scone value, but relision 's profitable in all thinks having in it promise of the best in this lift, and alt the life to come, The faithful saying, or "sure word," v. 9, is rendered by Moffatt, v. 1.0, "We toil and strive because oar hope is fixed upon the living God, the Saviour of all men." This,. then, is Paul's counsel that Timothy ccnnn,nd stud teach the kind of exercise nand self- discipltre which promotes trre piety, himself setting the example. And this is that he may both save himself and them to whom he ministers, . 16. The admonition of 2 Tim, ;:: 1, all will tale to heart who minister ,n the church of Christ. Be strong endure hardship observe the Tales. INt80DU0TIo—Tho Golden Text oi< this lesson provides a good beginning. Paul is ur ;ung the Corinthian Chrie- tians, most of theta his own children inthe faith, to avoid evil -doing of every kind. He warns e uecially against sins of :nip •ity, such sins as affect both mind and body. He takes high ground. "Know ye not," he says, "that your bodies are the members of Christ," 1 Cor, 6: 15. And in our Golden Text, "Know ye not that ,;our body is the temple of the oHIy Ghost which is in you, which we have of n God, on en believes that with all his hee are not your own." art, he will endeavor to keea himself physically and mentally elex'. He will endeavor to keep himself fit for the uses of the Master, a fit instrument for service, a temple for the indwell - in of hie Holy. Spirit. The figure is slightly changed in 1 Cor. 3: 16, 17, and Rom. 12: 4, 6. Here the Christian community is thought of as the body of Christ, of es the temple of God in which his spirit dwells. Thel apostle exhorts, therefore, to keep s temple, the common life of Chriet's followers, free from defilement, from "envying, and strife, and C.ivislons" (v. 8), and as members of Christ's body to exercise our varlons gifts in barmontous co-operation, each desir- ing ,to serve the other as all serve Christ. Compare also 1 Cor. 10: 17; 12; 12-81; Eph. 1: 22, 23; 4, 11-18. I. AnsrIN8Kca CN PRINCIPLE, Dail. 1: 8-20, The story of Daniel tells us that a number of Jewish youths of character and ability, and of high rank were taken by order of Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem to Babylon to be educated there and trained' for the king's - r - vice. Three ,yearn of training were prescribed with residence and enter- tainment in the palace. Four of these young Wren are mentioned by name, of whom Daniel was one, Now the Jews had been, as many of them still are, very careful in observ- ing their laws regarding, clean and uncles t foods. See Lev. 11: 1-47, and Deut. 14: 1-21 for the laws, and 00111 - pare Beek. 4: 14, and Acts 10: 14. The question arose, therefore, iimne- allate1y, whether ur not they should keep strictly to the customs and laws of their homeland and their fathers, or eat the icing's neat, and drink the wine which was set befnee them. Dan- iel paruose6 in his •wart that he would not defile hitt—Nell, and his three com- panions areed with him. Whatever we may think of the necessity or value of such abstinence we cannot but honor the steadfast adherence of these young men to a, high principle of re- ligion and of clean Bang.nig. The Fre- titular rules governinghave clean baen i n- nd un- clean foods may n portant (Ron. 14: 17), but the exer- rise of temperance, of discipline, of aelfcontt•Ol, at the dictation of con- science, was of the highest importance. The .prince of the eunuchs thought -their health would suffer (v. 10) and that be would be held responsible. But the simple vegetable diet chosen prov- ed to be more conducive to health and nod lot ke than the king's meat and Nine. The word "pulse" probably means here all kinds of vegetables. With bodily health went also knowl- edge and skill in all learning and wis- dom. On that ground, also, as well as on the ground of obedience to ancient law, their ebstmence was justified.

Buabet r the sake onot f others who ha1e edge. and whose conscience is troubled, he advises refusal.

Perhaps no report of iaveatlgatious laid before the meeting of plsyalolo- gists at Boston will be react with more general interest than that on the ef- fects of coffee upon the human sys- tem. For the moment, researches concerning cancer and other diseases will seem of minor importance. No question affecting diet has probablY been so Hutch disettssed, with so few positive results arrived at, as that of coffee -drinking. Now we have the conclusions drawn from a scientific and exhaustive study made In the Food Research Labora- tories of New York, Experiments with a Manana Young men were con- ducted for months and the results arefulfy noted and tabulated. One general and (for most people) gratify- ing conclusion was established. It is that coffee is not the cause of any or - garde disease. It does not harmfully affect the heart or stomach or kid- neys. True, in the case of persons with a highly organixed nervous sys- tem, excessive coffee -drinking does lead to heightened blood pressure and disturbance of circulation. But there is nothing necessarily alarming about that. The case is different wham it comes to tracing minor physical and Experi- ments l effects of coffee -drinking. seem to show that the initial sense of alertness induced by coffee is misleading. The young mot who drank coffee were slower and duller and less accurate in the tests devised than were those who did not. Isere, however, we are oust' the verge of physiology. .Incurable coffee -drinkers -will assert that everything depends upon the young men seleted, and, that it the right choice ha dbeen made all would have come out to the praise and glory of coffee!! In any event, the study made is of wide public in- terest. • ADAMSON'S ADVENTURES—BY 0. Jacobs$ Farm Notes ADVERTISING CANADIAN APPLES, The Empire Marketing Board are doing an excellent service for the ap- ple growers of Canada. An advertise- meat widely distributed in 'British newspapers, posters, and in other forms calls attention to the pyramids in the shop windows of glowing fruits, h rosy reds, warm yellows, and mel- low russets. Those wishing crisp apples are recommended, to ask for Golden Russets. When softer fruit is wanted Jonathans are recommended, and for cooking it is suggested to the buyer to. ask 'for Starks and Fella - waters. Confidence in the packing of Can- adian apples is expressed in the ad- vettiseinent, which states that at the back of those jolly pyramids the eF, pies are as good es at the front, Readers are assured that if they were to • gather the fruit for themselves they could not pick and•choose better than their Canadian cousins can do, PORTABLE HOG CABINS. and $711.86 for potatoes.

The small cabins are also useful as a shelter for growing pigs 'in summer when on dry lot or pasture. The Do- minion Animal Husbandman, in his Report for 1928, published by the De- pertme:'.t of Agriculture at Ottawa, recommends a cabin with a floor area of fifty square feet. A cabin of this size will comfortably house five adult brood sows when fed outside and given the run of the yard. Such a structure has been found at the Experimental ante to be inexpensive aria in many instances may be constructed from material which is found on the fare's,' The A -shaped cabin popular some years ago has lost favor at the Ex- perimental Farms as the slopping roof is apt to be broken away by the hogs when crowding insiil_.
