THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time—About A.D. 62. Place—the epistle was written from 'Rome to the city of Colosse, which was located about one hundred miles east of Ephesus, in Asia Minor. The tragedy of the human race without Christ is that upward asplea- tions have no definiteness and are never fulfilled, Man continues to long for higher things, and, at the same time, is conscious that the pow- ers which drag him down are greater than the power of any longings to live on a higher plane. What man longs for, the Lord Jesus Christ came to give, to make it definite, and' sure. Things That Are Above 1. If then ye were raised together with Christ. That Christ was, in his ewn body, raised from the dead, is a fundamental truth in the Christian faith. How, we may ask, were we ever raised with him? Actually, we were raised together, with him in the hour in which we believed in him. Seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. We are "to search them out as they are revealed to us in the Holy Scriptures and to be looking for and accepting them in our experi- ence and possession." "Seek, above all, assured communion with God, real work for God, frequent rest in the felt presence of God, through and beyond all these, the final reward of the soul in God, but seek also that which is highest, purest, truest, nob- lest, even in the sphere of nature. 2. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. "Jesus Christ is the summing up of 'the things that are above'; therefore if a man wants to love Jesus Christ, he must think about him. Seeking the things that are above will come, and will only come when mind, and heart, and in- ward life are occupied with him. Each man's higher life begins in a , death. As Christ rose from the dead, so also do his members rise from the death of sin to a life on the highest plane, a life in heavenly places." Be- cause our life is hid, it is incapable of being touched or hurt by any evil power- 4. When Christ, who is our lfe, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with `him be manifested in glory. "Our Christ -life is not always to be hidden, but is to come forth in full and glorious manifestation. 5. Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, svil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; 6. For which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: 7. Wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things. The verb here trans- lated "put to death" means,, literally, "to reduce to a state of death," or "like death"; a state helpless, inop- erative. "The Christian, in the pow- er of his hidden life in Christ, is thus to deal with his sins. The believer, reminded of his resources and of the will of God, is now, with full purpose, to 'give to death' all his sins. 8. But now do ye also put them all away, How difficult it is to put off something which has become a habit! When we have learned a wrong way of doing a thing, it is a fearfully heavy business to unlearn it. Anger, wrath, malice, railing. "The first word refers to the outburst, or . the vice of indignation bordering on re- venge; the second word refers to the violent emotion that boils within. The third refers to calumnious de- nunciation, to which anger so often prompts." Shameful speaking out of your mouth. This phrase often de- notes generally foul or abusive lan- guage, and as it is so closely con- nected with the passion of anger such may be its meaning here. The New Man 9. Lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings. 10. And have put on the new man. The old man is simply the state of an unregenerated man, a sinner guilty under the sen- tence of God's law. The new man is the same person with a new life in him which is contrary to the old life, i.e., the old man lives subject to the dominion of sin, but the new man lives under the sovereignty of God. Regeneration is an act of God through his Holy Spirit, and is something that no man can accomplish. That is be- ing renewed. We are in the place where we can be renewed when we keep in communion wnh God. Unto knowledge. "A knowledge not alone of the intellect, but of the heart; a knowledge which includes faith and experience as well. Every item of true knowledge gained is growth and the conquest of evil." After the im- age of him that created him. "As in the first creation man was made in the image of God, so in the new cre- ation. 11. Where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircum- eision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all. There are no distinctions among Christians as far as their standing is concerned, or God's ultimate purpose for them, either national, ceremonial, intellectual, or social. 12. Put on therefore, as God's elect. The elect of God are those r-hom God has appointed to receive eternal life. Joseph Parker once said that a man could know if he were elected of God if he was certain he had elected the Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour. Holy and beloved, a heart of compassion. A companion- ate person is one who suffers with those who are in need. For two beau- tiful pictures of true compassion, see Luke 10:33, and Luke 15:20. Kindness. "The character which of- fers sympathy and invites confid- ence." Lowliness. The attitude of a soul which has lost its pride in the discovery of mercy of its salvation." Meekness. An attitude of submis- siveness toward God. Longsuffering. 13. Forbearing one another, and for- giving each other, if any man have a complaint against any. Forgiving and forebearing "explain the opera- tion of meekness and longsufering, forbearing to be inpatient and to avenge one's self, and, on the con- trary, to be forgiving," Even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye. "A heart touched and softened by pardon will be a heart apt to pardon." A Life of Love 14. And above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfect- ness.

BELL' With the Co -Operation of the Various Departments of the 1 Q. "I have ten (10) colonies of bees and would appreciate informa- tion as to how they may be success- fully wintered."—K.G., Halton Co. A. —There are three important points to keep in mind: (a) A strong colony of young: bees (b) Abundance of food. (c) Protection from the prevailing winds, as well as individual in- sulation. .Annual requeening is the best method to insure young bees for winter. A young queen will lay later in the fall than an older one, which means that the bees will have more vitality, and be better able to with- stand the winter and build up a strong colony the following spring. All weak and queenless colonies should be united with stronger col- onies. Honey or sugar syrup inay be used for winter feed. At the present t it is recommended that bees be tered in a double brood charabe •with, the tombs in the top chamber. full of honey. Single -storey colonies should have the combs from " two- thirds to three-quarters full of honcste If it is necessary to feed sfifar syrup, mix two parts of cane or beet sugar to one part of boiling water. An apiary should be located so that it will be sheltered from the lore - veiling winds. In addition to this, colonies should be insulated with shavings, dried leaves, etc. Four inches (4") of insulation is provided on the sides, and from six inches (6") to eight inches (8") on top. This material may be supported everything else in importance and power, the new man must manifest a life of love. "Love is the product of the other graces, the fruit of their, ripe development. Love itself is, at the same time, the highest element of this perfection and forms the nearest resemblance to him of whom it is said, 'God is love.' No grace is corn plete without love." 15. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. The peace which Christ makes for us with God. The peace, in other words, that fills us with se- renity and tranquility in all our re-., lotions with men. We are to let this • peace rule in our hearts. 16. Let the word of Christ. The word of Christ is, that great mes- sage which Christ himself made pos- sible by his life, death, and resur- rection, i.e., the gospel, the good news, the message from God through his Son, who is the word of God. Dwell in you richly. The word of Christ is to inhabit us, finding in us its very home. In all wisdom teach- ing and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your' hearts unto God. 'Psalms' seems to - refer specifically to the songs of Da- vid; 'hymns' to songs of praise com- posed by Christians; 'odes' to forms of song with no limitation except that they shall be spiritual. It was to be a daily, life-long service of song, but always as teaching and a3- 'nionishing. 17, And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus. "The name of a man is that which distinguishes, identifies, sums him up, and the name of Christ is all that Christ is as man, as God, and as the God -man. Giving thanks to God the Father through him. All the blessings which we have come from God through the Lord Jesus Christ, and all of our thanks should be given through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Dr. E. J. Dyee, Provincial Apiarist, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. 3. Q. "I think I made a mstake by putting Muriate of Potash on my potato ground. I mixed it with 4- 8-10 fertilizer and put it in the row with the seed. The potatoes were very small and most of them had a deep pink skin. Would it have been alright if I had put Sulphate of Pot- ash in with the 4-8-10? Four rows in which I did not put any extra Pot- ash the potatoes were good quality and size. A.M., Wentworth Co. A.—Regarding your inquiry as to potato fertilizer. it would appear to me that you over -did the application of Potash, especially since you report that where you used the 4-8-10 alone the potatoes were of good quality and size. You see the 10 per cent at the end of 4-8-10 is Potash. This is a fairly heavy application in itself, es- pecially if you put it on at 500 to 750 lbs. per acre. By putting the fertilizer in the row there is a dan- ger that you get it too close to the seed potato piece. There is no evid- ence to show that Sulphate of Potash is less chemically active than Muriate of Potash. As a matter of fact, I believe it is a little more chemically .active so that the dirterence in the types of Potash will not have been responsible for your unsatisfactory results. 4 Beekeepers in Canada number about. 25,000. Canadian bees pro- duce more than 24,000,000 pounds of honey in a year and close to 300,000 pounds of beeswa.., says a Canadian Resources bulletin. Well, well, here we are again, with more gossip about the people you hear on the radio. The informality of Bing Crosby's program on Thurs- day nights at 10 o'clock is more than excellent showmanship. No at- tempt is made to run through the show in its entirety before it goes on the air. Each spot is rehearsed and timed separately, If any cutting is necessary to compress the program to fit the one hour limit, it is done just before the troupe goes on the air. Add to this Crosby's inimitable style of spontaneity, Bob Burns' Van Beuren drawl and the sparkling chain of guests, it's no wonder that the Kraft Music Hall ranks tops in pro- grams. Here is a little-known fact about NBC's Lowell Thomas: It seems as if the broadcaster is an adopted brave of the Mohawks. The English translation of his Indian name is "Hot Coal." Maybe it's because his newscasts have always been hot stuff. Sixteen World Title Fights Fight fans, take note! Sixteen world title fights to be exclusive on NBC. These broadcasts can be heard over the Blue Network. November 12th, middleweight Champ Freddy Steel, defends his title against Fred Apostoli; November 19th and 26th are also fight nights, but the cards have not yet been selected. All fights will take. the air at approximately 10 p.m. From Roy Locksley comes a bit of news that CFRB will carry the hockey games this year again. Can- ada's national sport will be described by veteran Foster Hewitt. The first games will be played November 4th sand Gth, and the broadcast will reach fans in every part of the country. Canadian Network News Joseph Laderoute, a lad we intro- duced to you a week or so ago, is coming along beautifully. Ile audi- tioned for a commercial program the other day, and we hold high hopes for hien. By the way, CFRB studios were dressed up in plenty of orange and black for Hallowe'en, and plenty of pumpkins were around—and we don't mean engineers. * r Jack Barkin and Dorothy Price are gaining many friends with their work on the Grad Cigarette show Friday nights. Incidentally, listeners may attend the broadcast of this per- formance by writing to the studio for tickets. Last Tuesday saw the beginning of a new program with everybody's favorite, Vincent Boyd. Co-starring with him is Louise Robertson, the girl friend of the air. The program is heard from 7,45 to 8 over CFRB. If you like sparkling songs and some classy ivory massaging, tune in to these two. Last Wednesday, Percy Pasternak `played popular favorites from Tin Pan Alley on his CBC program, Canadian Capers.... Horace Heidt and his famous Brigadiers will be heard on November 6th at 11 p.m., over CRCT and CBC net. A Program's Background In order to make our column a little out of the ordinary, we shall endeavor to give you a little insight of what happens in the background of a radio program. Each week we shall try to describe a different per- son who is responsible for the radio entertainment you hear, and about whom you never hear. Today we shall give you a brief summary of the headaches of one of radio's super - salesmen, Allan MacTaggart, of Grow and Pitcher Broadcasting Agencies, commonly called by all friends and enemies, Buster. Cute, don't you think? His history is one of daring. Bus. has been in and out of radio for some ten years, and is Around The gal RADIO HEADLINERS OF THE WEEK' widely recogn zed as a merchandis- ing brain and a creator of advertis- ing campaigns. In a police line-up he would be quoted as being 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weight, 145, age 32, red hair, and a jovial personality. WJR, Detroit has carried a program series in which he was known as "Clip" of the twins, Clip and Save. He was advertising manager of Sehulte's United Department Stores, the Ajax Tire Corporation, Wisconsin, for whom he conducted the first field campaign for tires, Scott -McHale Shoes and McCormick Biscuits. You, as the listener, demand en- tertainment from your radio, but this entertainment must be paid for, and Buster is one of the guys who looks for the guys who are contemplating advertising, and tries to sell them the idea of supplying you with the entertainment you want. To use Buster's own words, "it's as easy to do this as walking across the Atlan- tic Ocean." If anything goes wrong with the program, it's Buster who gets merry heck from the sponsor. If you do not buy the sponsor's goods, it's another kick in the ear for him. But Buster, being a happily married man, is not used to taking kicks, and makes sure that none come to him. And so you see, dear readers, that behind the radio program there is much more than music and entertain- ment. Next week we'll try to give you the life of a radio production man. firth of Sextuplets In India Reported Major-General E. D. Giles, of Lon- don, England last week reported the birth of sextuplet boys in India. The general said he was in receipt of a letter from Lieut. Dur Khan, an Indian officer on the northwest frontier, relating the birth of the .six boys to the wife of his cousin. All were doing well, the lieutenant said, Tree raped 18 Months In Mine, Cel: Freed A cat trapped for 18 months down a quarry shaft 45 feet deep on Idle Moor, Bradford, England, has been rescued. • An inspector of the Royal Society for the prevention of cruelty to An- imals caught it in a humane trap and hauled it to safety. The animal was kept alive by resi- dents who threw down scraps of food. Pussy augmented this supply by catching mice from the disused work- ings, a labrinth of which runs un- der the moor. Bagpipes, generally regarded as thoroughly Scottish, were introduced to Britain by the Romans. Nero is said to have played them.
