GOLDEN TEXT.—Ask, and It shall be given you; seek, and yen shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Luke 11:9. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. -- November and Decem- enLber, A.I. 29. Place. — All the events record- ed in this lesson took place in the ,province known as Penes, wttieh was located east of the Jor- dan. Matthew places the giving of the Lord's Prayer in. Christ's great Ser- mon on the Mount (Matt. 6: 5-15), which occurred touch earlier than the teaching we are now consider- ing. It is generally understood that Christ may have delivered this prayer once spoutaneouciv to a large number of disciples, and again, at the request of a disciple, to a small group who were not pre- eent on the first occasion. This particular passage on prayer, found in Luke, is unique among the three Gospels. Prayer Life of Jesus Luke 11:1, And it Dame to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of tis disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples. The disciples after living in the company of Christ for perhaps two years were dissatisfied with their own prayer life, primarily because they had discovered that the prayer life of Jesus had greater depth, was more intense and earnest, manifested more faith and trust, was in every way a richer experieuce, than theirs. When We Pray 2, And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father. In the Old Testament God is seldom spoken of as a father, and then in refer- ence to the nation, and not to the individual. Christ gave the disciples a trate revelation of the Father (John 1: 12 and 3; 3; Rom. 3: 23; Gal. 4: 5). Hallowed be thy name. The word here translated "hallow- ed" means rendered or declared sacred or holy; to consecrate. Thy kingdom come. A kingdom is an area over which a king rules in sovereign power. The kingdom of God is God's sovereignty or rule, and that means the fulfillment of his will. It is a moral and spirit- ual kingdom. To pray this prayer sincerely involved the submission of all of aur life and interests to the sovereign rule of an infinitely holy God. The Lord's Prayer 3. Give us day by day our daily bread. The prayer acknowledges that we are indebted to God through simple boons; and asks for them all; asks them only day by day; and asks for no more. 4. And forgive us our sin; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation. The program of the Christian life is pardon, sanctification, holiness. There is something radically wrong with us If sin has as great a power over us today as it had, say, ten years ago. The Lord's Prayer has been call- ed "the epitome of the gospel" and the "pearl of prayers" because of its: tone of holy confidence; its absolute unselfishness; the spirit- uality pirituality of its seven petitions; its brevity and absence of all vain re- petitions. 5. And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto hila at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6, for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him; 7, and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my chil- dren are with me In bed; 1 cannot rise and give thee? 8. I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth. This parable is parallel to that of the unjust judge (1.8:1-8). It also teaches that prayer must be importunate and persevering; and ;so far as the teso parables differ, the one shows that prayer is never out of season, the other that it is sure to bring the blessing and not a curse. In this parable we find a selfish, unfriendly excuse for refus- ing the request — whereas our Father is perfect love and kind - nes, and instead of excuses offers us the most abounding promises. "It Shall Be Given" 9, And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye elrali find; knock. and It shall be opened unto you. 10. For every one that asketch receiveth; and ho that sleeketlh fiudeth; and to him that knod.teth it shall be opened, By our constant asking, seeking, and knocking we reveal the earnestness with which we petition God for that whioh we want, 11. And of which of• you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf,•and he give him a 'stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent? 12. Or if he shall ask au egg, will he give trim seorpion? 13.

As earthly fathers prove themselves fathers by giving good gifts to their children, so your Father prom - es to you that he is indeed your Father and you are indeed his chil- dren by giving to you, in answer to your asking, in your need, the things beneficial to you, or as Luke has it, the'Holy Spirit, at once nam- ing the highest and greatest spir- itual gift, involving every other spiritual gift, and certainly thus also every necessary temporal gift. The supreme and extreme are oft- en used in the Scriptures so as to include all that is less. We receive the Holy Spirit at first when we are born again; but the prayer life is the life that is always seeking and always receiving, the filling, the infilling, the overflowing of the Spirit.

To obtain sueh young pigs, a balanced ra- tion well supplemented with minerals is essential. Toa many losses still occur on the average farm, especially in young pigs, due chiefly to a de- ficiency in the ration, states CI. Pilon, Livestock man at the Do- minion Experimental Station, liapuskasing, Ont. A liberal feeding of minerals will not only prevent most of these losses but also better daily gains and a. Iower feed consump- tion per pound of grain will be obtained with growing and fat- tening pigs. Four Most Helpful In hog feeding, four mineral elements along with salt are help- ful, namely, calcium, phosphor- ous, iron and iodine. All other mineral elements are usually present in sufficient quantity in ordinary rations. Pigs require less salt than cattle but nevertheless a better utilization of feed will usually result from its feeding. Calcium and phosphorous are also imporant to prevent rickets, weakness, short Iactation and paralysis in hind legs with nurs- ing sows. Furthermore, it is ad- mitted today that iron is an ef- fective remedy against the all too common disease in young pigs called anaemia. Also goitre and hairlessness can be easily pre- vented by feeding iodine to the pregnant sow. Chemical analyses have shown that the grains and their by-pro- ducts are generally low in some of the essential minerals and to be sure that the ration is not deficient, it is advisable to in- clude 3 to 4 per cent in the dry meal mixture for brood sows and 2 per cent for all other pigs, of a commercial or a home mixed mineral mixture such as ground limestone 50 lb., bone meal 25 lb., and iodised salt 25 lbs. Iron in the form of iron sulphate at the rate of 2 lb. in the above mixture can be fed if anemia occurs. Our Indians May Move to States After First of Year Many Ex- pect to be Naturalized As American Citizens Announcement Canadian Indians may become citizens of the U. S. by naturalization on and after Jan- uary 12, made by Charles H. Berry, Superintendent of Indian .Affairs at Washington, probably means an im- portant movement of Ontario In- dians to adjacent New York State, border officials commented. At the present time Canadian Indians have no way of becoming American cite. sets, and as such are at times de- nied jobs in various Buffalo fac- tories. TO NEW YORK STATE This is important in view of the huge' national defence program across the line. The enabling na- turalization bill was signed by President Roosevelt on October 14, and becomes effective 90 days after his signature. In the past few months more than three hundred Canadian Indians have crossed the border at Fort Erie to take up resi- dence in adjacent New York State it is estimated. Housing Shortage Across Dominion Parliament Is Urged To Give The Problem Consideration Herbert A. Bruce (Cons., Toronto- Parkd.ale) late in November told the House of Commons there was a "huge shortage of housing in Can- ada" and urged that consideration be given this problem. He spike in the debate on the Throne Speech. Because this was a short session before the Christmas adjournment Dr. Bunce said he would not press this point until the session resum- es in February. Ile referred to the 'United 'States program of provfd' lag 300,000 pre -fabricated homes for the next year's requirements, TOWN PLANNING BODY NEEDED Much valuable research had ai- m* been carried out by the Na- tional Housing Administration. He ringed that a town planning body be atteched to the adminis- tration and. £he necessary authori- ty given it to provide a town plan- ning service.
