rNTRoDu eemie— Revealing glimpses
of home life are not infrequent in the
Bible, sometimes unatraetiva and evil,
Sometimes rarely beauaiful,: always in-
structive. Only a few examples can
be iven here, some merely by sugges-
tion rather than description in detail.
There is Abraham of whom the Lord
says, "I have known him t„ the end
that he niay command his children
and his household after him, that they
may keep the way of the Lord," Gen,
20: 19. There is the hospitable tent-
home of Jethro in Mldian where
Moses, the fugitive, is welcomed, Exed.
2: 20, 21. In the home of Micah, in
the hill. country of Ephraim, with his
chapel, his altar, and his priest; there
is real, though uninstructed, piety. In
Samuel's childhood home a devoted
another prays for her son. Tlie home
life of Hosea is ooisoned by unfaith-
fulness, but redeemed and healed by a
changeless and self-denying love, Hos.,
chs. 2 and 3. Very memorable L. the
dignity and order of the household of
the virtuous woman of Proverbs (ch,
21), whose "price is far above rubies,'
and whose children "rise up and call
her blessed."
In the New Testament, individual
character stands out more prominently
than social or family life, but we have
frequent reference to the virtues
which make a good home—kindness,
purity, hospitality,humility, dilli-
genre, patience, fidelity, charity. It is
under the influence and power of the
Lord Jesus Christ that the perfection
and beauty of home life has been at-
tained.

aninheritance iron his grandmother,
Lois, and his mothe, Eeriiee. Prom a
child he had known the holy scrip-
tures, and Paul counsels bine aifee-
tionately to continue in the Leading

definition of the place and valueofthe
Bible in the life of a child or it man
than that given by Poul bh, 3: 14, 15.

I, THE CHIL) ne THE HOME, Deut, 6:
3-9; Luke 2: 40-52; 2 Tim, 1: 3-5;
3: 14, 15.
The ancient law preservec. in Deuter
enemy requires both that the people
shall keep the commandments of God,
and that they shall teach them to their
children, eh, 0: 1, 2, 7.. With this
good law goes the promise of the
blessing of God, v. 3. With it also
goes the great central truth of reli-
gion, "The Lord our God is one Lord,"
and the summing up of all religious
d'.ty in the one great commandment,
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy might." These,
therefore, are to be kept a. a sacred
inheritar.ce, this fundamental thuth
and this comprehensive law, and
t tight to the children in the home.
Apparently there is to be no excuse for
neglect, and no evasion of this duty.
All occasions are to be used, and both
the parent and the home will be mark-
ed by the symbols of its obedience, vs.
7-9. The language of these verses is
probably to be understood as figur-
ative. but many Jews have taken it
literally and have actually worn on
the arm and forehead :tripe 01 parch-
' ment on which were written v: orris of
of
the law, and have enclosed
pieces of parchment in metal or
wooden cases nailed to th' doorpost
(see Matt, 23: 5).
There is no doubt that Jesus as
brought up in a pious home where the
precepts of the ancient religion were
strictly observed. He grew and waxed
strong in spirit, filled with disdain,
Luke 2: 40. At twelve years of ago
he was taken by his parents to the
springtime festival of the Passover at
Jerusalem. In this story (vs. 41-50)
•two things seem clear, first that he had
become keenly inter,. ted in what he
had learned of the temple and its wor-
ship, and second, that for so young a
boy he had a most devout and real
interest in religion. Coming with a
fresh mind to the great questions of
his religious faith and practice, he
seizes the opportunity to learn what he
can from the temple doctors who were
astonished at his understar-ding, Ab-
sorbed :n this higher interest he was,
for the moment, forgetflu of the day
appointed to return home, +But his
parents, he thought, would have
known. "Wist ye not,' he said. "that
I must be in my Father's House?" v.

structed, keenly interested in the best
things, of unusual mental ability, obe-

Save the Birds
Fertilizers for Potatoes
In the growing of potatoes on farms
where stable manure is not plentiful

tures may be used with advantage, To
demonstrate the value of commercial
fertilizers when used singly and with
manure potato fields on a number of
the Illustration Stations operated by
the Department of Agriculture at Ole

side by side, with a section receiving
20 tons of farmyard manure. to the
acre. Other plots of similar land were
treated with 10 tons of the manure;
and 750 pounds of the feltilizer, and
a third plot with 1500 pounds of chemi
cal fertilizer and a fourth plot -vas left
unfertilized. The fertilizer used was
one made up of four parts each of
nitrogen and potash, and light parts
of phosphoric acid.
These demonstrations were carried
on for three years at eleven stations in
N5va Scotia, The three year average
yields were from the farmyard manure
plot 201 bushels to the acre. The plots
receiving manure and fertilizer 236
bushels to the acre, the plots receiv-
ing only the commercial fertilizer
yielded 226 bushels to the acre, while
the unfertilized plots gave less than
100 bushels.
