Memory Selection: Every num
according as he purposeth in his
heart, so let him give; not grudg-
ingly, or of necessity, for God
loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corin-
thians 9:7,
The church is often criticized
because of its frequent appeals
for money. But how little the
church receives compared with
what is spent for liquor and to-
bacco! The Anglican Council for
Social Service in its report to the
General Synod last November
estimated that the costs and loss-
es of drinking in Canada for the
10 -year period was $4,586,273,000.
Of this $1,922,233,000 went to the
provinces and Dominion govern-
ment as revenue, leaving a net
cost to the people of $2,664,040,-
000, We believe the churches
use the comparatively insignifi-
cant amount which they receive
for more worthwhile purposes
In the instance of our lesson
Paul was appealing for a good
offering for the needy Christians
at Jerusalem. The poor people
of Macedonia had responded
most generously. They first gave
themselves to the Lord. What
would the church at rich Cor-
inth do? Paul had predicted well
of them but he sent Titus in ad-
vance just in case they had ne-
glected to respond to this appeal.
In his exhortation he cited the
greatest example of giving: "Ye
know 4he grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that, though he was
rich, yet for your sakes he be-
came poor, that ye through his
poverty might be rich."
Someone has suggested that
there are five levels of giving.
1, The "Tip" level- Those who
give a small coin to the Lord,
the same way that they tip the
waitress. It is just a little hat-
ter of appreciation for the Lord.
2, T h e "Entertainment" level -
those who refuse to pledge and
give only when they come to
church. They give as they give
to a theatre, or the ball borne.
They give when they go. 3. The
"Emotional" level- those who
give only when they are emo-
tionally stirred. They refuse to
give when their feelings are
hurt, They may give once or
twice a year according to feel-
ings. 4. The "Promise" level -
Those who pledge but neglect •
the promise. They never or sel-
dom pay up. 5. The "Bible"
level- those who give systemati-
cally and proportionately. Here
is cheerful, joyous, regular giv-
ing, week by week- both to their
local church needs and -to the
wider work of the church. God
loves the cheerful giver.
Something Will Grow
No matter what sort of a spot
we have there are some things
that will grow. In gardening one
hears much of fine, rich foam'
and sunshine, and while those
conditions may be ideal for a
lot of plants, there are others
that actually prefer a location
far toss favorable. In poor dusty
soil, for instance, there are hardy
flowers tike portulaca, alyssum,
zinnias; and many more that will
make a good showing. Then the
dark corners near walls or under
fairly dense shades are ideal
places for begonias and pansies
and certain fern -tike flowers
that shrink away from the bright
lid i3s Add T<

include some form of protein such as cheese, eggs, fish or
meat, they can be used as main dishes for luncheon.
klere are two main -dish salads and a delicious buttermilk cote

CRISPY CHEESE BALLS
(Makes 8 balls, about X1/ merle`s in diameter),
One package (3 ounces) cream cheese, 1/4 to 1/2 cup candy -coated
puffed wheat.
Form cheese into balls and roll in cereal. Serve with pineapple,
orange, or other fruit salads. For an attractive salad, center 2 or
3 crispy cheese balls on lettuce or other salad greens. Arrange
fruit sections in swirls around the cheese balls,
BUTTERMILK COLE SLAW
Shred a head of crisp cabbage very thin. Then slice thin 2 small
onions, 5 or 6 stuffed green olives, and add with 10 capers to the
cabbage. Salt to taste.
Dressing: Use 1 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, 1A teaspoon
paprika, a very little curry powder, 1 teaspoon caper juice, 1 tea-
spoon Worcestershire sauce, and ice cup mayonnaise. Next edd
just enough buttermilk to make it as thick as cream. Toss dressing
and salad until thoroughly mixed.
TOSSED MACARONI SALAD WITH BLEU -CHEESE DRESSING
(Makes 6 servings)
One tablespoon salt, 3 quarts boiling water, 8 ounces elbow
macaroni (2 cups), 1/2 medium-sized head lettuce, shredded, .1/4
bunch chicory, broken in pieces, 2 medium-sized tomatoes, cut in
wedges, 2 tablespoons chopped onion, 1/3 cup chopped celery, 1
green pepper, cut in thin strips, 11/2 -ounce package bleu cheese,
2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/e cup salad oil,
tl2 teaspoon meat sauce, ee teaspoon garlic salt, 11/2 teaspoons salt,
ie teaspoon freshly ground pepper, dash paprika.
Add 1 tablespoon salt to rapidly boiling water. Gradually add
macaroni so that water continues to boil. Cook uncovered, stirring

their favorites and poor wind-
swept rocky slope s. Rugged
climates, too, are no handicap.
Indeed in some northern 'gar-
dens are grown the very finest
of vegetables and the brightest
of flowers. Away up or rather
down on the northern tundras in
the summer time the ground is
aflame with bright bloom. In
any good Canadian seed cata-
logue will be listed flowers and
vegetables that will thrive in
unusual places and it will pay to
study these special likes if we
are to do the best with unusual
locations,
Hot W'eat1x r Hints
The wise gardener will change
his methods when the days turn
hot. With the lawn he will cut
less frequently, and not so short,
and he will usually let the clip-
pings lie where they fall to form
a bit of protecting mulch.
In the flower and vegetable
garden, even if no weeds have
been allowed to grow, he will
continue a light cultivation once
-a week or every ten days, to
create what is known as a. dust
mulch - which will pat e v
evaporation of moisture •from
the soil.
Before going on holidays it
is an excellent plan to go over
flower and vegetable gardens
lightly with grass clippings or
similar material to conserve the
moisture. If necessary and pos-
sible one should water thorough-
ly •thd'night before the final pre -
holiday cultivation.
Still Time
There is still time for a show
of flowers and a fine ,yield of
vegetables. In fact one can go
on sowing all sorts of seeds and
setting out plants right up to
July in many parts of Canada
and still get good results. With a
bit of luck in the weather, mostly
in the way of showers, growth is
very rapid during the extraor-
dillarly long hours of sunlight
we have in June, To catch up
experienced gardeners will use a
little extra care with these late
started gardens. They will make
sure the soil is well cultivated
and enriched where at all pos-
sible with chemical fertilizer or
manure, They will thin seed-
lings to give them plenty of room.
With certain flowers and veg-
etables that require a long sea-
son to bloom or mature they
will use well star t ed plants,
watering carefully and perhaps
shading from the hot sun for a
few days after they are set out,

.A lot of .folks will tell you
that sheep ruin a pasture for
cattle because they "Graze it
down to the roots -and below."
I have always contended that
more often than not the fault
lies with the poorness of the
pasture --or else that too many
sheep are grazed for the size of
it. This contention is borne 'out
by the Department ,of Agricul-
ture at Ottawa.
Here is their dope.
r,
Pasture areas improved by re-
seeding and fertilizing can be
kept in good condition and better
returns secured from them by
grazing with mixed sheep and
cattle than by sheep or cattle
alone, judging by the :average
of seven years' results at the
Central Experimental Farm in
Ottawa.
This seven - year experiment
showed that a pasture treated
with 10 tons of manure per acre
every four years, and grazed
with both sheep and cattle, had
a carrying capacity 23 per cent
greater than an adjoining field
given a similar application of
manure but grazed with sheep
alone. Compared with another
adjoining field of permanent pas-
ture, receiving no manure and
grazed by sheep &lone, the in
C'r'ease was 50 per Cent.
On 0 iourt h adjacent field, not
matured but fertilized with 100
pounds of sulphate of ammonia
per neve each year plus 300
pounds of superphosphate and
75 pounds of muriate of potash
applied every four years. mixe•t
grazing gave an increase of 4.
or cent over the rnsuured field
grazed with sheep alone; 6.0 pet
cent over a similarly fertilized
field grazed with steer's alone,
and 74 per cent more than liar'
untreated field,
t. 4.
Each of these &'ids consisted
of four acres. fn 101.1118 of actual
meat produced, the unheated
field showed 1.59 pounds Average
dearly gain in weight ty the
sheep graved on it. The immured
field gl axed by sheep aloe( pro-
duced a gain of 10)2 polltds. The
ln,^enured field gr eed by sheep
and cattle produced 0. gain of
126 pounds for the sheep and 1.45
pounds for the steers. r s. The ler-
till:cel field produce a gain of
152 pounds for the sheep and
165 pounds for the sieers. A field
ive•r1 II!** OalOi'trr':l2-
rnmit nod ,;`'71"' 1 by 1;re't's' alone'
produced a gain of 248 pounds
for the steers, still below either
of 'the mixed -grazed fields in
total meat production. All gains
are based on 150 days of graz-
ing.
P. E. Sylvestre and S. B. Wil-
liams, of the Animal Husbandry
Division at the Farm, state:
"Grazing with cattle and sheep
resulted in a definite increase
over grazing with sheep alone,
This was not only due to the
greater number of stock carried
on that pasture but also to the
higher daily gains of the lamb
in the mixed -grazed fields. There
was a better utilization of the
grass available. Little of the
herbage was noticed going to
seed in the mixed grazed .fields,
while there was considerable
waste on that account in the
fields grazed by sheep alone. Thus
the mixed -grazed fields did not
require clipping. The quality of
t1 ' sward was also improved.
The mixture of clovers and
grasses was considered almost
ideal in the mixed -grazed fields
while thele was little improve
meet in the others.
"A certain amount err cars
must be exercised, however, ire
the proportion of sheep to cattle
Three ewes and their lambs to
one two year-old steer gave ex.
cellent results."
Considerable interest has arisen
in recent years in the possibilities
of chemical thinning 01 tree
fruits, particularly, applee. In
vestigations are being carried
on at Ottawa and at var'ioue
branch stations. At ,Sulnnlerland
the sodium salt of dinitro ortho
cresol and certain hormone ma
terials have been reasonably of
fective. The standard method of
applying these sprays has been
with the -conventional sprayer
and hand spray guns. 1,1smg this
method, about 1.5 pints of sodium
dinitro cresolatc per 100 gallont•
of water are applied to the tree
the full -bloom stage as a drench,
ing spray. Tests have also shown
that apples can be thinned jut,
as effectively with conc'entlate as
with hand Sprayers, and that the
amount of sodium dinitro ereso•
late required is approximateie
15 pints per acre. This, diluted
with 100 gallons at water gives
an application of about two gal'
tons per tree. Using a hormone
spray o.f alpha naphthalene acetic
acid, 72 grams of hormone pet
a01'c gave satisfactory I'0suif.s.

While the hormone spray may

reports indicate that delayed ap-
plications of hormones up to
four weeks beyond the calyx

Investigations are under way at
Ottawa to determine whether
delayed sprays will reduce the
injuries arising from these
sprays, and at/the same time
give effective thinning of the
fruit, Results so far, indicate that

The Vast Amazon
The Sea River (Amazon) has
eleven hundred known tributar-
ies. Ten of them are larger than
the Rhine. Seven are a thousand
miles long. The Madeira is three
thousand miles long and collects
ninety tributaries of its own be-
fore it joins the Amazon. Stand-
ing where they join you can
just make out the other shore
of the Madeira but you cannot
see across the Amazon... .
Place the mouth of the Ama-
zon at New York and its arms
-would reach ten into. Canada and
down into Mexico and almost to
California. Straighten out the
kinks, and the smaller end would
stretch twelve hundred miles
out into the Pacific. (It seems
unbelievable, but figure it for
yourself. The breadth of the con-
tinent is twenty-eight hundred
miles; the length of the Ama-
zon, according to corrected sur-
veys, a little aver four thousand
miles.)
All Europe could be placed
within the Amazon basin and
have room left for half a dozen
Japans.
The Amazon is not satisfied
with Brazil. It sends its feelers
far up into Bolivia, Peru, Ecua-
dor, Colombia and Venezuela and
the Amazon basin includes gen-
erous portions of these nations.
The sources of the great river
are high Andean lakes only
eighty miles from the Pacific
coast. -- From "The Amazing
Amazon," by Willard Price.

New Mercantile
ank Acquires
Property
The Mercantile Bank of Cana-
da, chartered by Act of Parlia-
ment on March 31, 1953, has ac-
quired the Hanson Building, 253
St. James Street West, as tempor-
ary Head Offices and banking
quarters.
The bank has also bought lapid
and buildings on the north-west
corner of St. Janes Street and
Victoria Square, where it will
erect a modern head office build-
ing at a future date.
The announcement of these
property purchases was made by
Mr. Henri Moquette, in behalf of
the Mercantile Bank's proviclonal
directorate.
The provisional Canadian dir-
ectors are Senator P. H. Boutfard
of Quebec, and the Messrs. Ar-
thur Cross, Montreal industri-
alist, and .; , B. Carswell, promin-
ent consulting engineer of Van •
couver.
The Victoria. Square site, occu-
pying a frontage of 177 feet on the
Square and 130 feet on St..,j mes
Street, is at present occupied
by several buildings, the largest
of which is known as Dale douse
and was formerly the head office
building of the Dominion Textile
Company.
When the site becomes aye ;t-
able on the expiration of lease,
the first unit of the Mercantile
Bank's Bead Office building wilt
be constructed there. Plan tor
this unit, and for subsequent ad-
ditions which will cover the entire
ground area, have been drawn b,
Messrs. Lawson and Betts, Archi-
tects, of Montreal.
During the interval before the
new building is erected, the Mer-
cantile Bank will utilize the Han-
son Building as Head Office prem-
ises, and the main banking office
will open for business as soon as
occupation can be secured and ix
terior alterations made.
The Mercantile Bank of Canada
is the first bank to receive a
charter from the Canadian gov-
ernment since 1929, Capital foe
its issue of shares has mainly been
subscribed by the Nationale Han-
dlesbank N. V. of Amsterdam. The.
Netherlands, of which Mr, Henri
Moquette is a Managing Director,.
Three Canadians and two nomi-
pees of the Handlesbank will
comprise the original Board of
the Mercantile Bank.
Mr. Moquette also announces
the purchase by the Mercantile
Bank of a property on Burrard
Street in downtown Vancouver„

Other branches will subsequently
be opened in principal Canadian
cities.
The Mercantile Bank of Canada
will conduct a complete domestic
banking service in Canada, and
will also specialize in the Pacific
trade, through the widespread
facilities of Handlesbank.
These facilities include branches
in Japan, India, Thailand, Hong
Kong and Singapore, and through-
out Indonesia, as well as in such
Netherlands centres as Amster-
dam, Rotterdam and The Hague,.
