S. S. LESSON FOR MAY 25th, 1930
Lesson Topic—Jesus Describes the
Future of the Kingdom.
Lesson Passage—Matthew 25:1-13.
Golden Text—Mark 13:33.
In" this chapter there are three
parables but the subject is one and
the same thing. In the three Christ
recognizes only two classes in human
life. In His most marvellous of all
addresses --His Sermon on the Mount
--IH}e had the same two classes before
Him—the wise and the foolish.
"Therefore whosoever heareth these
sayings of urine, and doeth them, I
will liken him unto a wise man: and
everyone that heareth these sayings
of mine, and doeth them not, shall be
likened unto a foolish man. (Matt.
7:24, 26).
In this parable of the ten virgins
he describes them as being equally
divided into exactly the same classes,
arranged under the leadership of wis-
dom on the one hand and folly on the
other.
In the parable of the ten virgins
Christ cautions His disciples to watch
and be ready for His coming again.
It was a custom that, on the occasion
cf a marriage among the Jews, the
brid•egro•om should go attended by his
friends, late in the night) to the house
of the bride, where 'sh&attended by
her bridesmaids, expected him.
When notice would be given cf the
bridegroom's approach, they went out
to meet him. They carried lamps in
their hands to light him into the house
with great formality.
What is meant by the wise and the
foolish virgins? They represent the
body of professing Christians, just
such as are aseemble'd together on
any Lord's Day in the Lord's house.
They gyre alike in many things. They
enjoy the same ordinances; they ut-
ter the same prayers and they have
the •sam'e outward behaviour. But
there is a difference. All cart y the
lamp, which is the symbol of outward
profession but only a certain number
carry oil in their vessels, which oil is
the symbol of the inward spiritual
life.
When the cry came that the bride-
groom was coning a discovery was
made. "Our lamps are. gone out."
Their lamps went out because the'
had no oil. They burned for awhile,
as a dry wick will do, often with a
great blaze, but soon the flame de-
cays, and it goes out for want of oil.
This is the case with hypocrites.
They have no spring of gracious oil
within their hearts.
In consequence of their unprepared-
ness they missed the opportunity of
joining the marriage procession, and
accompanying it to the feast.
"W,ateh," says Christ, "for ye know
not the hour." By preserving and
fostering the divine in us we pay heed
to his injunction—"Be ye also ready."
What was the reward of those
whose lamps had oil in them? When
they heard the cry, though they like
the others had been sleeping, they
arose and trimmed tlit?•ir lamps and
went out to meet the bridegroom.
And they went in with hum to the
marriage and then the doer was shut.
The period of watching was past -and
the period of unalloyed happiness be-
gan. This is the position of the
Church of Christ --watching now for
the Heavenly Bridgegroom, expecting
His coming and assured of his love ;
and yet not able' to enter into the full-
ness of her joy until he himself ar-
rives, and takes her to his Heavenly
home.—(The Sermon 'Bible).
WORLD MISSIONS
"Cast thy bread upon the waters,"
wrote the preacher of long ago, "for
after many days it shall return unto
thee." The ref'ere'nce here is said to
be to the ancient practice of the na-
tives of Egypt, who, when the Nile
was in flood went forth in their boats
scattering the rice on the water.
When the waters subsided the rice
germinated in the mud and after
many days the harvest was reaped.
The illustration perfectly represents
the m.ethod'e of spreading the Bible
throughout the world that ha0e been
going on for many years. The go'o.l
seed has been sown, but -the harvest is
not yet. What it will be no man can
tell. Up and down the world go an
army of colporteurs each year press-
ing further and further' into regions
unknown, tratiil-Ihreakers for the mis-
sionary- bearers •orethee Book contain-
ing the wonderful words of life. In

lar report of the work of the British

reference has been made before, ars'
many stories of these noble self-s'acri-
ficing mien.
The •society employs nearly ane
thousand colporteurs of !various na-
ti'onalit•es in all parts of the world in

than 6,027,455 capies--Jalbout 100,000

THE REASON WHY
Thin, Weak Children Need Baby's
Own Tablets.
Malnutrition, or inability to derive
nourishment from food, is a common
trouble with little children and is en-
tirely due to stomach and bowel
weakness. Another cause of loss of
flesh and sleep is worms.
To correct stomach and (bowel trou-
bles and thus banish constipation and
indigestion, break up colds and simple
fevers; expel worms and allay the
pain which accompanies the cutting
of teeth is what Baby's Own Tablets
were designed for. They never fail
to be of aid and can be given with
safety to the. youngest babe.
Baby's Own Tablets are sold by
medicine dealers or by nail at 25
cents a box from The Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
When Abraha,nt.incoln was a law-
yer in Illinois, he and a certain judge
once got to•'bantering one another a-
bout trading horses; and it was agreed
that the next morning at nine o'clock
they would make a trade, the horses
to be unseen up to that hour, and no
backing out, under a foirfeiture of
$25.00.
At the hour ap'poityted, the Judge
came up, leading the sorriest -looking
specimen of a horse ever seen in
those parts. In a few minutes Mr.
Lincoln was seen approaching with
a wooden saw -horse upon his shr9ul-
ders. Great were the shouts and
laughter of the crowd and both were
greatly increased when Mr. Lincoln
on surveying the Judge's animal, set
down his saw -horse, and exclaimed:
"Well, Judge, this is the first time I
ever got the worst of it in a horse
trade."
NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR
THE BUSY FARMER
Farm Drainage.
Tile drainage of land is receiving
increased attention in Ontario. The
high acre returns from orchards and
other cultivated each crops has stim-
ulated this interest. Properly instal-
led tile drains, while increasing• pro-
duction, lower the overhead cost per
unit of commodity marketed. The
greater ease with which the drained
land can be worked further lowers
production costs. .The 0. A. C. De-
partment of Drainage stands ready
to assist the farmers by making drain-
age surveys, inspection of drainage

Fighting the Sow Thistle.
Prof. Hewitt of the 0. A. C., reeem-
mends the following practices to as-
sist the farmer in combatting the sow
thistle menace:
1. Vigorous neid'-sun mer cultiva-
tion
ultica-tion during the dry, hot weather im-
mediately following haying or har-
vest.
2. The use of smother crops such
as sweet lalorv'er, rape and (buckwheat.
These are very effective when proper-
ly ]candled.
Su Short crop rotations which give
a chance to Use hoed crops frequent-
ly.
4, Under -drainage, of lands requir-
ing it. (iPoorly drained land is most
favorable to the growth of the sow
thistle).
5. On heavy clay soils, deep plow-
ing immediately after haying, espec-
ially if the ground is very dry and
hard. (Th'i's means) !plenty of power).
6. Thorough cleaning out of the
first •small patches that apprar on the
farm, to prevent the weed from 'be-
coming established.
7. A determination not to be beat-
en by weed or devil.
Herd Depreciates.
In a discussion of the costs of dairy
farming an item is often overio•oked
that should be mentioned—the cow
itself. Many a dairy farmer is not
making as much money yearly as he
thinks be is because of the deprecia-
tion in the value of his herd. T' lye
useful life of a cow is not very long.
The troubles which occur in every
herd, such as abortion, non -+breeding,
udder troubles, take a larger toll than
is tho'ug'ht possible without records
for guidance. A study of the situa-
tion 'shows that the average cow re-
mains in ,produetion far about five
years. Allowing ten months milking
per year, this limits the average use-
ful life oe a cow to 50 months. Dur-
ing this period the cow has to pay all
costs of feed, .labor, housing, etc., be-
sides a 'profit to the owner. Only good
c;wvs can do this.
Crop Diversity Helpful.
Dr. G. I. Christie, pre'siddrnt of the
Ontario Agricultural College, in a
recent address said that the recent
glo'o'my :talk about the price of west-
ern wheat was of. minor concern to
Ontaaio, where a diversity of pro-
ducts is grown and where it is pos-
sible to make a choice among half a
dozen / lines to specialize. The time
has net yet come when the acreage
of any crop can be regulated and an
assurance given of highly remunera-
tive prices. The element of chance
must be reckoned with in farming as
on the stock exchange. Were it pos-
sible to fix the price of wheat at
cost of 'production plus twenty per
cent., there would be a rush to. grain
growing with a resultant surplus' in
a few years that the world could not
use.
Stresses Home Markets.
In his first public statement, Mr.
James B. Fairbairn, newly appointed
Deputy Manistee of Agriculture, gives
expression to the following ,views;
"My thought is that we should
etress • Ontario products. We should
try to create in the minds of all house-
wives the desire to purchase Ontario
products. We should also educate
the dealer. We need the co-operation
of city people,. the Manufacturers As-
sociation, Chambers of Commerce and
service clubs. We have to stress be-
fore these bodies the fact that in or-
der to bring 'about a reorganization
of methods, we have to encourage
them to think of Ontario products.
My main thought is going to be to
stress the purchase of Ontario farm
produce. I want to stabilize the home
markets, for the Ontario producer.
We have the very best quality of
fruits and ve'gerbables that can, be pro-
duced anywhere."
Current Crop Report.
Many field of 'fail wheat are being
plowed up in Brant, according to a re-
cent crop bulletin issued by the de-
partment. Sufficient hay to carry all
stock to grass is indicated in Bruce.
In Dundas American buyers have
been active 'and a number of grade
cows have beensold foe from $85 to
$100. The top bull at a sale in Carle-
ton brought a price of $225, while
250 stocker cattle were ,sold at the
same sale. A large acreage df pota-
toes has been set out in Elgin. Cold
weather has effected little injury in
Essex County except to tobacco plant.
some of which are frozen. A .poor
growth of fall wheat and meadows in
I-ilaldimand has resulted in the plow-
ing up ,of several fields. Many clove;'
and fall wheat fields in Middlesex are
said to be practically worthless.
Profits in Dairying.
A dairyman in Oxford County, Al -
hent Sipie, who keeps' a 'h'eed of from
17 to 18 Holstein cows on his 70 -acre
farm and a strict account of the rev-
enue obtained from all sources mak-
ing use of the milk produced, has just
compiled some interesting figures
covering the past four years which
strengthen the argument so often ad-
vanced that the dairy farm offers a
safe investment provided the cows
kept are of the breed and blood lines
likely to give good results at the pail.
In 1926, 17 covens in the herd produc-
ed 219,980 pounds of milk, an aver-
age of 12,940 pounds. The total re-
ceipts amounted to $4,034.87, an av-
erage income per cow of $237,34. In
1927 the 'same number 'of dniimals av-
eraged 12,459 pounds per cow and
the proceeds amounted to $4,167.61;
averaging $245.1.9 per 'cow. In 1928,
18 cows averaged 11,547 pounds of
milk and ,an income of $230.01. In
1929 the original number of (tows, 17
head, averragedi 11,37.1 pounds, and
gave a revenue of $226 per cow.
Fewer complaints would be heard
relative to' the .unprofitablemess of
dairy fanning if the production of
herds in Ontario could be raiised from
the average of lees than 4,000 pound:,
to ,anywhere near the standard set
by Mr. 1Sipile.

Roadhonise, former 'Deputy Minister,
on the occasion of his transfer to the
position of chairman of the Agricul-
tural Development Beard. Mr. Road-
house, recalled that when he became
Deputy, Minister 18 years ago, the
Department expenditures were in the
neigh!bc'rhood of $750,000 annually,
whereas at the present time they are
approximately $3,000,0010, •apart from
capital expenditures. The board of
which Mr. 'Roadhouse now takes
charge, has loaned more than $27,-
000;000 to the present time.
Soy Beans More Popular.
Soy ib'eans awe coming more and
more, into use as an annual hay crop.
For this purpose soy 'beans should be
sown early in May at the rate of one
and 'one-half to two bushels per acre,
and the •crop cut when the pods are
about half-grown. The seed may be
sawn with a grain drill in the same
way as field peas. Any soil which
grows corn well will produce a good
erop of soy beans. They produce a
large yield of palatable hay which is
very rich in protein. The only eb-
jectiorn to the use of soy beans at the
present time, is the high price of the
seed.
Of General Application.
A townsman in We'ste'rn Ontario
recently wrote to the Ontario Agri-
cultural College asking whether the
Prov'inicial Corn Borer Act had any
application in cities, towns and vil-
lager. Professor Caesar, who is in
charge orf the enforcement of the act
replied emphatically as follows:—
"G1'owers of small plats of corn in
villages, towns and cities must re •
member that the act applies to them
just as much as to the farmers, and,
that sometimes their corn is more
heavily infested than .the cern on
farms. All corn stalks on these plots
and all coarse weeds 'alongside them
must`be gathered and burned as soon
as they are dry and the ground .thene
spaded •ar plowed."

Appearance alone has sold Rib -Roll roofinr
to thousands of farmers . •. but it is,.
economy, fire protection and permanence
that keeps it sold. Wherever you go in
Ontario these handsome roofs are familiar •
land -marks ... protecting millions of dollars. •
worth of crops, stock and property. RIB-
ROLL's success has caused it to be widely
imitated—but Rib -Roll alone has the rigidity,
ease of erection, durability, low cost and
absolute fire protection which make it the
foremost roofing value in Canada today.
An Unbeatable Combination
RIB -ROLL Roofing and Preston LED -HED •
nails make a roofing combination impossible
to beat. The cost of laying RIB -ROLL is
lower than nearly all•other types of roofing.
When you use LED -HED nails you get a •
rigid, handsome, tight -jointed roof that de-
fies fire and weather. The nails are speci-
ally designed with lead heads which com-
pletely seal the nail hole. There are no
awkward washers... no threading or punch-
ing. Write for samples of RIB -ROLL and:
Preston LED -HED nails.
