Better to sell the hens and be done with then unless one can take time and patience to treat then decently. *.

Prospects for help for haying and harvest are not so good. But we will worry about that when the time conies. * * * In the meantime we are trying to catch up with the odd jobs and to keep pace with the weeds and the, grass. But I am afraid the weeds are winning, I often wish we had a nice, friendly grandpappy living with us. One old enough to be past real hard work but ac- tive enough to like puttering, doiug the little odd jobs that we haven't the time for and yet which make so much difference to the ap- pearance of a farm home. I won- der if families where there is such a grandpappy realize how much he does for theta? If the family is away and late getting home, they know that grandpa will see to the clhickcns.

OTTAWA REPORTS That It Is Now Possible, For Old Age Pensioner To Receive $425' Annually Changes itr the act governing pensions for the aged and :blind were announced last week in the House of Commons by the Minister of Finance, Hon.

Daniel I: 8-16, 19, 20. GOLDEN TEXT, — But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's dainties, nor with the wine which he drank, Daniel I;8. Memory Verse: .Children, obey your parents. Colossians 3: 20. TIME LESSON IN ITS SETTING Tine, — The first capture of ,jerusalenl by Nebuchadnezzar, which resulted in Daniel and others being taken to Babylon, occurred in 607 B.C. Therefore, the events of our lesson may be said to fall somewhere between 6o•i and 00.1, or perhaps 605 B.C, Place. — Babylon, The great ca- ' pital 'of the Babylonian Empire, on the Euptrates River, Daniel's Decision "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile him- self with the king's dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself". Daniel shows his character, even at an early age. The Jewish • law forbade him to at the blood of fowl or. beast or any heathen sac- rifice. These things were included in the provision for the king's ta- ble. Daniel was resolved not to defile himself, whatever the con- sequences. ''Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs." We should note it was not Daniel's beauty or goodness which brought hint into favor, but God who moved in the heart of the prince of the rnnuchs, The Prince's Fears "And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear the lord the king, who hath appointed• your , food and your drink; for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye en- danger my head with the king? The prince was sure that if Daniel and his companions carried out their resolve, they would look so weak and pale that the king would charge shim With neglect of duty and endanger his head. 'Then said Daniel to the stew-. and as thou seest, deal with ilia—'servants". Daniel knew that his .simple diet with the blessing "od wd dc' ,,,.'r'e for iris •' a 7-xiatnt'e than the Icing's �``__ a,.ulf;�lie mailoar wvgnian wvho simply null:" dbStains from al•t b .,will certainly be healthier and brighter in countenance. tl ,en those who have allowed the appetites to master thetn and are slaves. tb.,self-indulgence. Result of Daniel's Plan "So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days; And at the end of ten days their .countenances appearec' fairer, and • they were fatter in flesh, than all the. youths that did eat of the king's dainties. So :the stew- ard took away their dainties, and the • wine that they should . drink, and gave them pulse," Daniel was determined to please God and to live so that his life might be one of strength and ptu•i- ty, and thate his physical appetites should remain under definite con- trol. In other words be determined, of his own will, to descipline him- self and to do those things that tl• 'law of God ordered, even,,°;`. strange land.
