A day later she deposited another egg in the same spot. Court employees turned their backs on the anti - pigeon drive and provided a makeshift nest. The judge even issued an order threatening con- tempt action against anyone who disturbed the nest. When two little squabs, right, appear- ed one morning, they were promptly dubbed "Habeas" and "Corpus."

He pointed down the field to where a row of open 'doors in a long implement -shed di- vdlged .a ,couple of tractors, .a one- way 'cultivator„a .combine and other kindred farm machines. The -salesman was •dumbfounded. ,Taking 'off his hat to -scratch his head, he ,exclaimed incredulously: "Well, what are you using this Lull for?” The farmer ;gave the •salesman •a long look, spit over the oplow- bandles ,and said: 'I ;jest want to Impress upon ;this critter that 'there's ',other 'things in ',life :be- sides romance!"

Maybe I shouldn't grumble when I don't have to be out in it very much, but even in the house it just about gives me the creeps. And of course it does make a dif- ference even if one does stay in- doors ... the egg man calls and before 1 can stop it the door blows back on its hinges. Partner hails me from outside to help him with a little job and I don't hear him for the wind. Bob says—"Watch for John—he may be in this afternoon." But unless I happen to look out at exactly the right minute I won't know $vhether John comes in or nota That is what the wind does to a farming area. The men here are halfway through seeding. Probably they would have been finished except for being hindered first by rain and then a breakdown with the tractor.. I shall be glad when they are through—all these rush jobs sort:of'keep everyone on edge. Lost time 'during seeding—even only half a :day—can make a lot of dif- ference to the growth and harves- ting ,of .a, crop. Yesterday I went to Toronto-- enough Toronto—enough to see a friend in hospital and back again. It was my first trip this year. As usual 1 wondered how any one could live in the city, But I also. came to the conclusion that it would be awful to live in the ,country .and work i the city—if it meant driving in ..everyday as so ;many 'do.

And yet, just the day before, we had been out looking at a car with the idea of making a purchase. As' it happened the man who waisted to sell the car was away but came home while we were waiting. He came along the road driv'ng at seventy or seventy five m.p.h. — with the "rad" boiling like a tea- kettle. Needless to say we didn't want that earl But I guess we shall have to get one of some kind— a 1940 is about as much as our budget budget will stand—but not off the used car tot if we can help it. Any offers? Our little half -ton pick-up is the handiest thing to have around on the farm, but it is a long way from being a pleasure car. Last week I even had to take it out once or twice with a barrel of fuel oil in the back! That is became. Bob uses the pick-up as a portable re- fuelling,station for his tractor. Part- ner -gets annoyed if he"sees me go out. with 'the true' loathed—but it doesn't worry Inc at all—just so long as I don't have anything oily in the cab with me. At that I would draw the line. Otherwise I don't mind—I never have been over -burdened with false pride. On our way home fronmToronto tre came through one of Mose new housing surveys wher, a friend of ours is waiting for his new home to he 'completed. I suppose most of the houses that we saw were around nine or ten thousand dollars and as we looked them over' 1 wondered how many of them would still be standing by' the time they were paid fort Of course, they will have .all the latest, built-in stream -lined conveniences which is what attracts people today—and one couldn't ask for -anything nicer if they are built to last. I wonder ... For my part I would sooner have an older house in a more settled area and fix it up to Suit myself. But it a good thing we are not all alike or there would be little expansion or pro- gress in this world. Speaking of houses reminds nu: of the modern way ofmoving, which I heard about only recently. Neigh- bours of ours are moving down to Montreal. I imagined them having an awful time packing and crating, ready for the job, To my surprise I learnt that the trovers do it all and unless they do the packing themselves they will not accept responsibility for loss or breakage in transit. It seemed so strange to go ito a house, knowing the people were moving outand see everything still in place, except the curtains!

IN GETHSEMANE Mark 14:32-42 Golden Text:—Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but Alm flesh is weak. Mark 14:33. "Gethsemane" will always be re- membered as the place of great agony of Jesus. Here bore upon Him the full realization of His mission. It was not the prospect of death that brought the bloody sweat to His brow but the bearing of I'm sins of men. In this hour when Ile craved and needed human sympathy most, his disciples fell asleep. He asked theist to. watch and pray, but three times He re- turned to find them sleeping. Said He, "The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak." Jesus knew the truth of that stamement in His own experience. At fir: t He, prayed, "0, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass frena ire; nevertheless, not as I %'itl, buf as Thou wilt," Here was a human shrinking from -the bitter ,cup. The second time He prayed, 'Q, My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except 1 drink it, Thy will be done." Here is exemplified the triumph of the spirit over the—flesh. At no time was there rebellion to God's will, but the .flesh was weak. Later, angels ministered unto Him, When Jesus faced this 'great crisis, He pratyed earnestly. He gained strength for the trying hours of the morrow. If we would have poise and calm in life's strug- gles, we must learn to pray until we have found strength in God. We cannot think of Gethsemane without feeling a deep gratitude to Jesus Christ Who suffered so for us. He alone is our Saviour. "It was alone the Saviour prayed In dark -Gethsemane. . Alone He drained the bitter cup And suffered there for me. Chorus: Alone, alone, Ile bore it all alone; He gave Himself to save His own, He suffered, bled, and died alone, 51nor" - s BITES Qidclay tape the STINGS Be smart" out of wasp cringe, insect SCRATCHES with ' Dr. r.
