The practice of manuring is basedton this fact. Humus is the medium which supports the favorable bacter- ial life of the soil and is. the chief source of the valuable nitrogen which these organisms release— along with the mineral constituents 'of humus— for the nourishment of the growing' crop. Furthermore, the acids pro- duced during the decomposition i,of humus exert' a solvent action on thef mineral soil compounds, liberating phosphoric acid, potash, ate., in as- similable forms.

Writing to the persecuted Jews who had embraced the Christian faith, the author of the epistle ..shows them their fellowship with the men of faith of every form age, with •Enoch and Noah and Abra ham and Moses, and many' anoth' who' • had believed and suffered am served in their day and. generation their faith in God enabled them to do the present duty, and to look be- yond the present to 'the future glori- ous fulfilment' of God's promises. Having little, they- became 'heirs of all things, :and the;sojourner dwell- ing in tents looked for and possessed the city of God. His faith became for him •the title -deed of wealth as yet unrealized, the evidence and 'assur- ance of the glory which .was to be. Faith is the certainty.of hope, the :open eye of the soul which looks upon realities unseen and eternal. ,For•`. the Christian it has become a personal relationship to Jesus Christ, in whom and through whose Spirit he sees' the working of those powers which are building a new world, in which ha...himself shall have,' or ra- ther has already, his citizenship. 2. A Good_Repop,t. _The great men of Old Testament times, the °elders," have "had witness born them)'• (R.V.) in the narratives- of the Old Testa- ment, in respect of their faith.. It is because of their faith that the his- tory,gives' so. good a report"of`. them. The difference between Moses,;: of good repute, and Pharaoh, of evil re- pute, is the difference which faith in God makes. 3. Through Faith We Understand. The tremendous facto God's crea- tion of the world is slot proved by historical or scientific evidence. It is known• and apprehended:by, faith. And yet how certain' a fact it is, and how sure our knowledge of it! By faith we understand. 4, He Being Dead Yet Speaketh, Faith is the secret spring of right- eousness." :So -Abel's faith wrought righteous deeds, and assured him by a good Conscience`tlrat his offering was acceptable to God. And so it is that lois voice speaks down through the ages declaring to every genera- tion that the only gift or offering; of worship pleasing to God is that of faith and well -doing.

Question—Will you please tell •me the cause of pains in the neck by' reason of knotted glands at the sides of my neck, way down to my collar bone. The glands are also swollen under my jaws. Answer -One could not easily tell without examination, but your ail- ment might 'be Hodgkins' Disease -- a very serious malady. When there are such glands as you -describe in•1 the neck—underthe arm pits and in other parts of the body, 'the diagno-1 sis is pretty sure to be Hodgkins' Disease. You should see a very good doctor at once. Question—What will cure bunions? Is it best to have an operation? I always take shoes one size larger but the bunions seem to be getting bigger. Answer—Only an operation will stop the growth of 'bunions. They generally result from wearing shoes too small, for .the feet. In the Army, the Munson- last is the one on which the soldiers' shoes are made. Such a shoe has a straight inner edge and very broad at the toes.

An underheated church might spoil the Offset of the most carefully Prepared sermon, and even a sputter- ing lamp, such at Sandy was potter- ing about might be a distracting an- noyance.,, The story is not new, but the.sug- gestion it carries cannot be too often repeated. Most ,of us take it for granted that great men like Moses and Paul and Martin Luther and John !Knox and Wellington and Nel- son were "called" to leadership, ,We are accustomed to say. that God pre- pares a man for the particular crisis, and fits him to marchin the forefront, and carry the movement forward to a successful issue. By analogy, but ,with possibly more reserve, wespeak of a young man being "called" to the ministry or a minister in •service ' be- ing "called" to the pastorate of a particular church. What we often overlook is that where a man is called, to lead other men must be called to follow. Skilled leadership is more impressive and spectacular than loyal following, but either is useless without the other. Moses had misgivings as to his own ability to head so great a.moyement as the emancipation of Israel, but he had misgivings, too, as to the res- ponse the people would make to his leadership. Where exact 'co-ordination is so essential, where faithfulness and un- questioning obedience and painstak- ing attention to detail count for so much in the rank oe iile, it goes with- out saying that these humble, sub- ordinate places are not 'left to any mere chance corner. The little Scottish sexton oaks not amiss in say- ing that he was "called" to such minor tasks as dusting pews and trimming lamps; for even the low- liest work, faithfully and conscien- tiously done, is invested with all the dignity of a heavenly calling.

Growing Garden Seeds. Circular, No. 17 of the IDoininion Experimental Farms shows that seed of most varieties of vegetables can be grown at home of as good or bet- ter quality than is the imported seed. To insure having good seed, however, it should be produced froth the best plants of the crop rather than from those which 'happen to be lefb unused. This publication, which is entitled "Every Gardener His Own Seed Grower," is ottainable from the Publications Branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa,. and tells how to grow, select, and care for seeds'•. of such garden crops as beans, corn, cucumbers, egg plaints, • lettuce, melons, parsley, peppers, peas, radish, tomatoes, and "seine other crops. Planting seed of doubtful gerniina. tion puts a mortgage on 'the season's success.
