Tflt, LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time The book of Proverbs was written about 1000 B.C. The dis- course of our Lord, from which a few versos are taken. as recorded in Matthew 24, was given on Tuesday of Passion Week, April 4 A.D. 80. The words used from the sixth chap- ter of John were uttered by Christ in April A.D., 29. Place — The Olivet Di:courhe was delivered on the Mount of Olives op. posite to and east of Jerusalem. The words recorded in the sixth chapter of John were uttered in the syna- gogue at Capernaum. "The Poverty to which Drunken Hess Leads, Proverbs 21:17; 28:29,21. Proverbs 21:17. "He that loveth p.'easure shall be a poor man; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich " For the representation of wine and .•il as common sources of enjoy- ment. njoyment. see Prov. 2'7:9; Judge;. 9:9,13. Among the Hebrews as among the Greeks and Romans. they were us- ual accompaniments of feasts. Proverbs 29:20. "Be not among winebibbers." That is those who drink wine to excess.

"And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags." This refers t' the torpor that follows excessive eating and drink - in "Who then is the faithful and wise servant. whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?" "Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing " "Ver- ily I say unto you, that be will set him over all that he hath." In the second part of our Lord's Olivet Dis- course, beginning with this verse. Christ gives three parables indicat- ing the sponsiuilities rusting upon his owe during a period in which he as to bodily presence. would be ab- sent from 'hem. We should notire his servants to perform while he is absent. The parable of our lesson is the picture of his household. "But if .hat evil servant shall say in his heart. My lord tarrieth; and shall begin to beat his fellow -ser- vants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that ser- vant shall come in a day when he expecteth not. and in an hour when he knoweth not, "And shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites; there shall bo the weeping and the gnashing of teeth." We have already made brief refer- ence to the teaching rf these verses in the previous paragraph. We must never forget that the person speak- ing these terrible words was none other than the Lord Jesus Christ himself The final testimony of these unfaithful servants is punishment in the next life It does not say it is et- ernal. but other passages of Scrip- ture do se inform us. The evil ser- vant had exactly the same opportun- ity that was given to the first, but he said within himself, My lord de- layeth his coming, and so he began to do as he pleased. "Jesus answered them and said. Verily, verily, I sal unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs. but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled." The discourse of which these words are a part was given the day after Christ. with five bar- ley loaves and two fishes, miracu- lously fed file thousand men on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. On the following day, a vast multitude of people. seeking Jesus. had come to Capernum that the discourse (vs. 26-59) was uttered. "Work not for the food which per- isheth, but for the food which abid- eth unto eternal life. which the Son of man shall give unto you; for him the Father even God, hath sealed." This verse th peculiarly full of in- structive lessons. 11) There is some- thing forbidden. We are not to labor exclusively or excessively, for the satisfat'tion of our bodily wants, for that food which only perishes in the using, and only does us a tittle tem- porary good. 12) There is something commanded, We ought to work hard and strive for that spiritual food — that supply for the wants of our souls, whica onCP obtained in an, everlasting- possession. 13) -There is something promised. Phe Son of man .Jesus Christ, is ready to give to ev- eryone who desires to have it. that spiritual food which endures forever, (4) There is something declared. The Son of man. Jesus Christ, has been designated and appointed be God the Father for this very purpose. to be the dispenser of this spiritual food to all who desire it. 'Jesus said unto them, 1 am the bread of life he that cometh to me shall riot hunger, and he that believ- eth on me "hall never thirst." Man is not able to maintain in full strength and life his physical body by anything which he has in him- self — he must receive into his body every day meat'and bread from with- out. So also a man is not able to sa- tisfy the needs of his spiritual life by anything he has in himself bus must receive this also from God, who has given him spiritual food in Jesus ; hrist, who is the bread of life, i.e. the bread which communi- cates life sustains and enriches it. Farm Queries Conducted by PROFESSOR HENRY With the Co -Operation of the Various Departments Ontario Agricultural College (a. BELL of the recommend for these beds? — D. T., Norfolk. ANSWER As a rule gardeners do not advise using fertilizers on hot beds in which they are growing to- matoes for the cannng trad, provid- ed tha ` they have a good compost available. Phis soil gives sufficiently rapid gowth unde hot bed condi- tions and gives much stronger plants than those which have been prob- ably fed an excess of nitrogen If however, ,you do not have compost soil that can be used, good results can be, obtained from working 'in a light application of such fertilizer a5-8.7 or 9-5-7 at the rate of 2-3 ozs. to the sq, ,yard. Be careful of one thing in particular, howver., and that is do not overdo the nitrogen side of the plantfood, otherwise you will get long stocky plants which will not be sufficiently strong baa.: ai=+tri ad. r. artr;.:.x.•,.'+ .�_...

J.. E. G., Norfolk County. ANSWER; From your description and frier our knowledge of Plain field land, it is apparent that lack of pota.:h is the difficulty in your soil. ft appears that you are using rather high nitrogen and distinctly low potash for your conditions. We would ecommend using 2-10.8 ra- ther than a 3-8-4 fetilzer for blue tobacc*. applying this at the rate of 100 lbs. ter acre. ;finder the ex- treme .onditions which you mention, I believe yaix woul a be justified in using a bag of 2.10.12.

"Yes -Men Dates" From Modesto, California, comes this refreshing story. Moaesto Junior College co-eds would welcome a slight return to Vic- torian principles and conduct in their suitors, according to a survey just made of the campus. Arleen it comes to "dates," they do not want either "yes men," crooners or egotists. What they most dislike in men are Dutch treats, petting, and the neces- sity of men combing their hair every few minutes. As to "don'ts" generally, a few are: Don't smoke too much. Don't Criss on first date. Don't .ry `o make a good impres- sion by wisecracking. Don't talk aimlessly just to make. a good impression. Don't be the type that greets a girl with an emphatic whack on the back, or who .midges her when something amusing occnis Then, as to ordinary American manners: Don't embarrass your date by walk- ing on the inside of ti sidewalk.

Writes the New York Sun: Many a girl and boy has been encouraged in politeness by a tittle reward` from a relative or an intimate friend ' of the family, "Tommy," says Uncle Bill, "you took good care of ane; don't spend all this in one place." "Shucks, Uncle, 1 liked to 10 it," says Tommy. "Bill." says rather, "1 won't have you giving money to Tommy; it'll teach him had habits; it'll make a beggar out of him." "Now, Pete, you beep still," says Pills, "or 1'11 tell Tommy some things about you." "iou've been very nice to me Mary," says Aunt Almira, as she de parts after a visit, "and here's some thing for you to put in your bank." "Now, Mira," says mother, "you must .Not spoil the child; she only does as she should." "Well," says Almira "this ain't again' ts spoil her, and she is a nice girl."

The radio speech he 'made jusi before leaving li ngl land was so moving that everybody is trying to arrange a regular pro- gram that will have one-tenth of its appeal. On all sides they have been hear- ing of how strongly it affected its hearers. Ind the movie people would give prectically anything for a story half as dramatic and thrilling as the one they followed so eagerly in the newspaper:,. Of course, they'd like to film a picture based on the real story but that's forbidden. Janet Gaynor is going to free- lance, after being under contract to me company 'for so r^1 long.
