In the cold climate of ours we are forced to use coal stoves and furnac- es and when they are working right and are properly operated theyare a great comfort. But coal gas fumes are deadly and much care should be exercised to make certain that the gas escapes properly. A defective furnace is a menace and may bring disaster.

Sunday, Dec. 23 -Luke 2:8-19; Eph. 6:1-4. Golden Text: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:14.) God had a plan for the salvation of. the world before ever the world was created. He had made His plans for the redemption of lost sinners be- fore man was created or had sinned. The world and roan were created at least 4,000 years before the first Christ Day, so that for, more than 4,000 years of human history God had been looking forward to the day of which we are- now studying, for the nl consunation of His loving and won- derful plan. Paul writes about this, that "when 1 the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son." (Gal. 4:4.) And the writer of the Epistle of the Hebrews tells us:that "now once in, the end'of the world (or, consum- mation of the ages) hath He apncared to put'away sin by the sacrifice of Himself:"' (Heb. 9:12.) ' If . Christmas Day is 'a wonderful days for us, we may be sure'that it is a much more wonderful day in God's sight. . God directs and uses earthly kings and rulers, whether they are cnn sciou of this or not. Caesar Augus- tus was one of the great monarchs of the Roman Empire.

Relief in Kellogg's ALL -BRAN �'�' Here is his enthusiastic letter; "Am 70 years of age, and for 40 of these years there never was a week but what I had to take a pill or some kind of cathartic. "I took everything, but gained only temporary relief. Until last spring my daughter, who is a nurse in a hospital, brought me some Kellogg's ALL -BRAN. "At the end of the week, I knew I had something that was it, and I kepton taking it. I haven't taken a cathartic since. I can eat neat any time, as often as I like, or any other kind of food, and no consti- pation." --Mr. L: M. Durigan (ad- dress furnished upon request). Laboratory tests show Kellogg's ALL -BRAN provides "bulk" to ex- ercise the intestines, and vitamin B to help muscle tone. Also iron for the blood. The "bulk" in ALL -BRAN is mu like that of lettuce. Inside the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, it clears out the intestinal' wastes. How much ,safer than patent med- icines. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. With each meal in serious cases. If not re- lieved this way, see your doctor. Sold in the red -and -green pack- age. At all grocers. Made by Kellogg in'Lontlon, Ontario. foreordained, 4,000 years earlier, should be "the fulness of tune" for the earthly incarnation and ministry of His Son. Mary, who ..was to be the virgin mother of the Son of God, lived .with her husband Joseph in the City of Nazareth, far to the north of Bethlehem. And Bethlehem was "the City of David" in which God had planned and had revealed in the Old Testament Scriptures, that His Son should be born when the time came. Seven centuries before the birth of Christ the Prophet Micala predicted by divine i nspirat ton: But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall' He come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlast- ing" (Micah 5:2). How were Mary and Joseph to be brought to Jerusalem for the birth of the babe Jesus? God saw to' it that the mighty Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus, should issue an im- perial and world-wide decree, just at the proper time, So we read: "And. it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world (inhab- ited earth) should be taxed. . . And all went to be taxed, every ,one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the City of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the City of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house .and lin- eage of David:) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child." Every Old Testament pophecy con- cerning the birth of Israel's Messiah was fulfilled in detail at this time, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. "Shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night," were among the favored few to whom came heavenly announce- ment of the best news this old earth has ever heard. Startling things hap- pened. "And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid." We hear a good deal of light,.cheap talk today in defiance of God, or in scoffing indifference. But whenever men are actually brought into the pre- sence of "the glory of the Lord" they lose their indifference and their, de- fiance; they are "sore afraid. Yet this was not a time to be afraid, The angel's first word to these trembling, men was: 'Fear not." He gave his reason why they should not be afraid: "For, behold., I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." At once he explained just what this "good tidings of great joy" was. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the :Lord." • There has been only one Saviour for mankind and for this 'world sitice Adam fell and sin entered the hutnan race. That Saviour is the 'only be- gotten Son' of God: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God. ancl men, the man Christ Jesus; vvho gave Himself a ransom for all" (I. Tim. 2:5, 6), The helpless babe of Bethlehem, "lying in a manger" was He of whom John wrote: "In the be- ginning"was the Word, arid the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1), This "Wordwas made flesh, and dwelt among us" (John 1:14). Why did the eternal Christ come down to earth, triter our flesh as a link 41 babe, and live here as a man? Was it simply, to reveal God' to us? No; God had revealed Himself through believers, priests, prophets and kings over again in Old Testament times, and could do so: again. Christ became man, not primarily in order to live before us, but in order to the for us. "Neither is there sal- vation l vation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be sav- ed" (Acts 4:12), • Because of all this' the "mlutitude of the heavenly host" Gouldraise. God that first p Christmas night into say: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Sin :had' separated men frpm God, Christ by His incarnation, life, death and resurrection, brid$ed the gulf and: made possible the Gospel of'salvation. That was God's great Christmas Gift to a lost world. Pined for Operating Slot Machine For operating a "device • of skill mixed with 'chance," Percy Howe, a Chinese restauranteur of Clinton, was fined $10 and costs, or $22 in all. He pleaded guilty, The gambling device was an ordinary slot machine, but Howe was caught in the act of hand- ing over a 10, cent package of cigar- ettes fortwo of the slugs vended d by the machine.

King Devil Hawkseed ys Bing Devil is a variety of hawk - seeds introduced into Canada from Europe and is becoming a very ser- ious pest in many sections of. Eastern Canada. It occurs chiefly in pastures or old hayfields that are low in fer- tility, and its squat rosette type of growth, with the leaves close to the ground, enables it to smother out weaker plants, causing Hauch waste of forage. The most economical method of control is by practising relatively short rotations on all cultivated an as and by keeping up the soil fer- tility by the use of manure or fertil- izers, On permanent pastures the weed has been almost ' completely controlled by using a complete fer- tilizer made up of sulphate of am- monia 100 pounds, super -phosphate 300 pounds, and muriate of potash 75 pounds, applied every second year, with the sulphate of ammonia applied early in the spring of the odd year. After two comjplete applications of the complete fertilizer, it would ap- pear, peal that as good results will be se- cured by applying this once every 3 years, with the sulphate applied the other two years. On lawns the use of a complete fertilizer, or even sul- phate of ammonia alone applied on the wet 'plants, will give good con- trol and force the growth of the de- sirable grasses and clover.
