A Pattern of CtrA'i•stia'n lack . now
Romps 12:1-2, 9.-21
Memory Selection: Let Love
be without dissimulation. A.h.or
that which is evil; cleave to that
which is good. Romans.• 12:9.
The, first eleven chapters of
"Romans arse intensely theologi-
•ca1and doctrinal. They coustitute
a closely knit argument on faith,
forgiveness, righteousness, sanc-
tification, and final redemption.
Now comes the practical applica-
tion. Apostolic theology must end
in correct behavior. This is a
vital sequence of doctrine and
duty. The Word reveals the
truth, then divine power is giv-
en to translate that truth into
action, Out of the mysteries of
grace comes the Lord's message
of duty and conduct.
A Pattern of Christian Be-
havior," is an apt description of
Remans 1.2. However, it is well
to note that this is not merely
one out of a number of varying
patterns of behavior given us,
but sets forth. the essentials of
Christian behavior in harmony
with all other such descriptions
given in the Neve Testament, The
chapter forms "a practical com-
mentary or the Sermon on the
Mount"
In his autobiography, 'Twice -
Born. Russian" Peter Deyneka.
tells of how he found the Lord
under the ministry of Paul
Rader on January 18, 1920. Fill-
ed with zeal he began to wit-
ness for Christ in Chicago with
remarkable results. But ere long
the first two verses of our print-
ed lesson began to impress hila
deeply, He says in part:
"The Lord spoke to me defi-
nitely about consecrating my life
fully to him. During a special
missionary conference Paul Rader
preached in the power of God,
calling young people to surrender
their lives and to volunteer for
Christian service. My heart was
greatly touched. I marched to the
altar. There I consecrated and
yielded my life to Jesus Christ,
and told him that I was willing
to be what he wanted me to be.
The Lord filled me with his Holy
Spirit and gave me victory, .a
passion and a love for lost souls,
and a great vision of the people
who are without Christ."
Those of us who see and hear
Peter Deyneka know that there
is still no flagging in his zeal,
He is fervent in zeal. It is im-
portant to maintain the spiritual
glow. God can use people who
are radiant with His love. Let
us be a "living sacrifice".
TIMES HAVE CIIANGED
A timid young man, employed
at a film studio as an extra, was
told to get into bed with a lion
for one of the scenes.
"Not me," he quavered. "If
Fve got to do that, I'm quitting
right now."
"There's absolutely nothing to
be frightened about," said the
director in soothing tones. "That
lion won't hurt you. He's been
brought up on milk."
"So was I," retorted the extra
as he turned to leave, "but I eat
pleat now!"

Battle c» fi the Baht -Hippo That is
The threatened eviction of c+ Famous hippopotamus herd from their native home in Mizimr.
Springs, Kenya, East Africa, aroused public indignation to such a feverish pitch that Kenya's
elected government had to stand up and declare themselves pro- or ,anti- hippopotamus. En-
gineers wanted to tap the spring to get water to Mombasa, the principal port, which is suffer-
ing a severe shortage. But aroused public opinion put a damper on that with a "Save -:the -
Hippo" campaign. The people want to maintain the 'famous "Hippo Ballet" which attracts
thousands of visitors. Visitors see a resemblance to the hippo ballet danced to the "Dance of
the Hours," that was made famous in the movie, "Fantasia." In their "ballet" the Kenya hippos
solemnly sink in unison below the surface, then slowly rise again, creating a dramatic splash
as they emerge. They repeat it over and over.

The Big Sneeze
In a few weeks a great sneeze
will be heard across the country.
I't will emanate from thousands
of Canadian hay fever victims
who dread the advent of the
balmy August -September weath-
er when the pesky rnaiacly is
at its height.
Almost all cases of hay fever
are caused by an allergy to tiny
pollen grains of the ragweed
plant prevalent in most provin-
ces, Prince Edward Island and
Nova Scotia claim freedom from
this weed and therefore are com-
paratively free of hay fever suf-
ferers. New Brunswick has
had a province -wide campaign
against ragweed for the last few
years and the pollen count has
been reduced to such an extent
that its tourist bureau Is using
"ragweed free" as its chiet en-
ticement in its promotional lit-
erature this year.
The city of Montreal has had
its ragweed destruction program
in operation since 1940 and a
notable decrease in • the pollen
count has been effected. One im-
portant factor noticed it the
Montreal campaign is that even
if one municipality is free of
ragweed, the air may still be
thick with pollen from adjoining
municipalities. The willingness
of bordering municipal govern-
ments to co-operate with Mon-
treal to control the pollen -bear-
ing weed was Largely respon-

Shrimps Make ,M More
Noise Than Whale
gL
at. shrimps make more noise
, whales is the astonishing
ctuiftn of the United States Navy.
To prove -it, they have come
for ward. with a recording made
tete' and a half miles below the
Surfaces of .the sea.
I ` was played at a National
Fisheries' Institute Convention in
Washington recently. The first
sound heard was of a group of
three or four huclred shrimps.
Listeners thought it sounded
MO, a cross between a man snor-
ing,‘ and yelling.
The call of the shrimps was
folrbwed by that of the black
whale, which was likened to a
crowd cheering in the distance.
In 'volume, however, the sound
did not compare with that made
by the shrimps. So think twice
before you use "shrimps' as a
term of derision for any little
chap.
And it's no good asking 'Are
you a man or a mouse?" either.
Naturalists have come ra the
conclusion that the mouse is a
bully. Though his household is
large, consisting of severe; wives
and dozens of children, ne rules
it with a rocl of iron, and still
finds time to fight his neighbours.
Naturalists can be practical
men. They have just discovered
a use for a fat and oily denizen
of the North Pacific named ocla-
chan. Dry it, and thread a wick
through its middle, they rec-
ommend. 11 makes an excellent
candle,
Natives of Northern Rhodesia
didn't wait for the naturalists to
tell them how useful the mayim-
ba could be. Tho mavinacti is a
bird of a the group known as
"honey -guides," which live ort
the,grubs of bees and wasps.
When a mayitnba finds a hive
it will at once seek out the near-
est badger. The badger follows,
knowing it will be led traight
to its favourite meal of honey.
Up the tree goes the badger
and, breaks open the hive. Its
cant of coarse hair will keep
out any sting. Meanwhile the
' may.imba is gorging itself on the
grubs that fall.
If no badger is to be found,

Chemicals to control agricul-
tural pests and insects can make
a marked contribution towards
the solution of world unrest, Dr.
Charles E. Palm, head of the de-
partment of entomology of Cor-
nell University, told members
of the National Agricultural
Chemicals Association at New
Orleans recently.
* 4' 1.
He said that through pest con-
trol there is a real opportunity
to contribute toward the solu-
tion of fundamental sociological
problems behind world tension,
adding that empty stomachs and
ill -health are major contributors
to population unrest.
Looking into the future, Dr.
Palm predicted even greater de-
mands on science to supply the
materials needed to support the
world's increasing population. He
pointed out that there were no
territorial boundaries within the
free world on the exchange of
scientific information, although
the availability of particular
products may be regulated by
economic and trade barriers.
Nicotine sulphate is an efficient
all-round insecticide for the con-
trol of certain pests attacking
flowers, fruit and vegetable crops,
according to prominent entom-
ologists,
n a.
Acting principally as a contact
poison, it penetrates the breath-
ing organs of an insect, causing
complete paralysis of the nervous
system. Because it dissipates
soon after application, it is quite
safe to use on edible plants. There
is little risk of injury to foliage
even if the insecticide is employ-
ed at several times the recom-
mended strength.
Nicotine sulphate is especially
recommended for th.e control of
mites, plant lice, aphids and
spiders on such crop as apples,
pears, blackberries, raspberries,
cabbage, broccoli, celery, green-
house plants, chrysanthemum,
roses and most house plants.
e 1
Its activity is greatly increased
if it is mixed into a spray with
soapy water, summer oil or
spreader sticker. Spray concen-
tration should consist of one part
of nicotine sulphate to 800 parts
of water or one to three table-
spoonsful of insecticide in one
gallon of water. For codling moth
control nicotine sulphate and
bentonine may be tank -mixed to
form a relatively stable fixed
nicotine compound.
The oldest public gardens on
the continent had their start
early in the 18th century in a
swamp. During the early days of
Halifax, N.S., the Crown set apart
several acres of "common land"
between the town and the wil-
derness on the western part of
the peninsula.
* *
The common was drained '75
years later to allow for a race
track. It served as a pasture for
cattle and the stream which ran
through it was a meeting place
for washerwomen to beat the dirt
out of their clothes.
Y Y:
Late in the century it was used
as- an "experimental farm" to stir
up interest in agriculture, writes
W. D. Freeman in the June issue
of C -I -L Oval. Out of this in-
terest grew the Halifax Public
Gardens which today occupy 18 -
acres of expertly - lanclscapc;ct
grounds, The first enclosed skat-
ing rink and first public tennis
courts in Canada were built here
by an early Horticultural Society.

Agricultural chemicals hate
played a major role in the matir•-
tenance of plant life in the gard-
ens, the article states. Phosphoric .
acid deficiency in the soil was
remedied by heavy applications
of superphosphate. A serious out-
break of canker worm was staved
off by application of 50 per cent
wettable DDT. Aphids and other
sucking insects on flowers and
shrubs are controlled by use of
nicotine sulphate. Plant diseases
on ornamental shrubs are kept
in check by a well known fungi-
cide.

Dental Association reports a pes-

Claps Beauty—Corinne Calvet,,
sultry French screen star, thinks
the natural beauty of many
American girls really handicaps
them. Pictured relaxing at a
resort hotel pool, Corinne said
American girls let beauty do the
work of sex appeal. "It's a lazy
way to attract a man, but it's
the most difficult way to hold
him." French gals, she says,
have less natural beauty unci
so develop other charms.
