Minimize the fire hazard by lining inside walls and ceilings with inexpensive Gyproc Wallboard that does not burn. This building material is made from gypsum rock into sheets .4 to 10 feet long, 4 feet wide and 3/8 of an inch thick. It nails and cuts as easily as lumber and with minimum waste. Find out from your dealer how inexpensive Gyproc is; how easy to erect. Ask him for full information about its application or request a direction sheet from him. Besides being fire-resistant, Gyproc has struc- tural strength and insulation value. It is also draught and vermin -proof. By panelling, you can save the expense of decoration, yet Gyproc is an excellent base for Alabastino, Gyptex or wallpaper.

LESSON FOR MAY 24th, 1931 Lesson Topic--•resus Preparing for the End. Lesson Passage—Luke 22:7-23. Golden Text—Luke 22:19. The following, is condensed from Farrar's Life of Christ: "It was on the morning of Thursday —Green Thursday as it used to be called during the Middle Ages—that some conversation took place between Jesus and His disciples about the Paschal feast. They asked him where he wished the preparation for it to be made. As We had now withdrawn from all public teaching, and waa spending this Thursday, as he had spent the previous day, in complete seclusion, they probably expected that he would eat the Passover at Bethany, which for such purposes had been de- cided 'by Rabbinical authority to be within the limits of Jerusalem. But His plans were otherwise. He the true Paschal lamb, was to be sacri- ficed once and forever in the Holy City. Accordingly He sent Peter and John to Jerusalem, and appointing for them a sign both mysterious and secret told them that on entering the gate they would meet a servant carrying a pit- cher of water from one of the foun- tains for evening use; following him they would reach a house to the owner of which they were to intimate the intention of the Master to eat the Passover there with his disciples; and this householder --conjectured by some to have been Joseph of Arimathea, by others John -Mark—would at once place at their disposal a furnished upper room, ready provided with the requisite table and couches. They found all as Jesus had said, and there, "made ready the Passover." There are ample reasons for believing that this was not the ordinary Jewish Passov- er, but a meal eaten by our Lord and His apostles on the previous evening to which a quasi -Paschal character was given, but which was intended to supersede the Jewish festival by one of far deeper and diviner significance. It was toward the evening, probab- ly when the gathering dusk would prevent all needless observation, that Jesus and His disciples walked from Bethany, by that old familiar road over the Mount of Olives, which His sacred feet were never again destined to traverse until after death. How far they attracted attention, or how it was that he whose person was known to so many could now enter Jerusalem unnoticed with His follow- ers, we cannot tell. We catch no glimpse of the little company till we find them assembled in that "large upper room." When they arrived, the meal was ready. Imagination loves to repro- duce all the probable details of that deeply moving and eternally sacred scene; and if we compare the notices of ancient Jewish customs with the immemorial fashions still existing in the changeless East, we can feel but little doubt as to the general nature. of the arrangements. The room prob- ably had white walls, and was bare of all except the necessary furniture. The couches, large enough to hold three persons, were placed around three sides of one or more low tables of gaily painted wood, each scarcely higher than stool's. The seat of hon- or was the central one. This was of course, occuppied by the Lord. Each guest reclined at full length, leaning on his left el -bow, that his right hand might be free. It was there in that room and at that feast that, what has the deepest interest for all Christians, the Sacrament of the Eucharist was established. Of this we have no few- er than four accounts. Never since that memorable evening has' the church ceased to observe the com- mandment of her Lord; ever since that day, from age to age, has this blessed and holy sacrament been a memorial of the death of Christ, and a strengthening and refreshing of the soul by the body and blood, as the body is : efreshed and strengthened by the broad and: wine."

This is what they do—they clean out the impurities in your blood by keeping the bowels, kidneys and liver in splen- did working shape, and fill you with vigor and tireless energy. As a result, instead of planting yourself in an easy chair every free moment and letting flabby fat accumu- late, you feel an urge for activity that keeps you moving around doing the things you've always wanted to do and needed to do to keep you in good condition.

LONELY MARTHA Martha hoped, when the elephone rang, that it was for her. Sure en- ough, it was. "Lonely?" said a voice, "I thought I'd call and see." "Why, mother," said Martha, "how did you know? I did want to talk to you so badly!" Martha and her mother have had a weekly Long Distance talk ever since. DON'T NEGLECT TO OIL HORN The Old Mechanic says: A chap came in here the other mornin' just about as nervous and bothered as a man could be. He'd been trying to drive about two miles through heavy traffic without a horn. His ear was three years old. I asked him whether the horn'd ever been oiled, the wirin' inspected, or the tone adjusted. He assured me, sadly, and in sort of an opologizin' avay, that he'd never paid any atten- tion to the horn until that mornin'. And he wouldn't, have then, 'cept that it stopped workin'. There are millions of motorists like ,hirn. There are mighty few parts of the car that get less atten- tion than the horn and few that can be more troublesome when they fail. Just try deivin' without a horn even in light traffic if you don't believe it. The horn on this man's car requir- ed oilin' of the arMature bearin's ev- ery six months. They'd gone thirty- six months without it. This horn had a tone adjustment screw. It stuck out through the cover. No one could have missed it. It turns mighty easy. A child could adjust the horn for louder or lower -pitched tone. The owner con- fessed he'd never paid the slightest attentionto findin' out what kind of horn it was. Put he was interested. So I asked him to fish out his instruction book. It was as good as new. I don't think it had ever bees opened. We turned to the part dealin' with the horn, its design and care. Then with the book in one band and the horn right in front of us, we went over every point. That chap understandls his horn now. Any other car owner can do the same thing in just a few minutes. Trouble is, most of them wait for a bad experience like havin' the horn go out of commission before they ev- er learn anything about it. illorns are too important in modern traffic for this kind of thing to go on.

Before doing so he was given an opportunity of appearing before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis- sions (Congregation), and there stat- ed his purpose in life, and made an earnest plea for a fund (sufficient to open a small theological school. Re- ceiving what he asked for, he return- ed to Japan. Arrived there, he (Vis- ited his home and there te his Par- ents, relatives and friends, preached the gospel with such effectiveness that great crowds thronged to hear hien, so much so that the local officials be- came alarmed, and went to Tokyo for instructions as to what to do. The Tokyo officials are reported to have answered, "If it is Niishima let him alone." Niishima then took council with the IVIinister of Education, a member a the embassy and an old friend, and through him secured a permit to start a seheol. Through- out the preliminary steps and after the school was established!, Mishima was in close do-opetation with Dr. Davis, a missionary of the American 'Board.

Ccr., rell, of the All Purpose Gold Carnor- atiOn ize Brooklyn, N.Y "It's so thin —1,200 times thinner that a sheet of paper that the slightest handling will cause it to disintegrate and dis- appear into the pores of your fingers. Yet, .placed on the outside of a build- ing, on a book cover or a window, it will wear for years. Three thousand square feet of solid gold will inclose the roof garden of the new Waldorf-Astoria. And though the gold is behind thick sheets of glass, the glass is not there to pro- tect the metal from theft. An entire evening's work carving at it would not reward you with the price of a suit of clothes. For, as Mr. Correll explained, "A five dollar goldpiece will make enough gold leaf to cover 5,000 square inches; $5,000 worth will blanket an acre." An acre of gold for $5,000! What new, amazing machinery, you might wonder, has been invented to accom- plish this? But that is just another of the many peculiarities of gold leaf. It isn't a matter of new machinery. The method of making it is the same as it was when the ancient Egyptians used 'it on their mummy cases. Gold beaters of ,to -day stand before the same kind of block, swing the same kind of hammer and go through virtu- ally the sante process as they did 3,•• 600, years ago. With Mr, Correll I drove to East New York to watch goldbeaters at work. "The first thing a goldbeater does when he wants to make leaf," he explained, "is to buy an ingot, either through the 'United States As- say Office or his bank. This is pure 24 karat gold, and too soft for, com- mercial use. It has to be alloyed— melted with copper and silver to re- duce it to 22.5 karats. It is then cast again into an ingot and run through rollers which reduce it to a long rib- bon a thousandth of an inch thick. The rollore, incidentally, is one of the very few modern notes in the industry, It is run by an electric motor. "There are goldbeating machines, but the leaf they produce does not equal that made by hand. It taees a man three or four years to learn to beat gold properly, and you can't eas- ily transfer this skill to a machine." We came to a small backyard build- ing in an old residential neighbor. hood. A door opened and Emil Mad- sen, who has beaten gold for 40 years, looked out at us. `Bring this kind of weather every day," he smiled, "and you can come often!" It was a brisk sunny day. "That's not merely a pleasantry," said Mr. Correll. "When a goldbeat• er says 'Nice day,' he means it. Gold leaf is tricky stuff. If the weather's too dry, it becomes lacy under the hammer. If it's too damp, it sticks to the mold. If it's too cold, it be- comes dull." Inside the shop a man was.slowly swinging an immense iron hammer. Before him was •a granite block ap- proximately three feet high, and' a foot square. On the polished top lay what appeared to be a package of paper four inches square and less than an inch thick. While his right hand guided the hammer his left deftly turned and twisted the package. "He's beating a cutch,"' explained Mr. Correll. "The first step in the. process. The granite rests on a wood4 en block. That's the reason gold - beaters must have a ground floor workroom. The 'block has to be set about three feet in the ground to pro- vide a resilient base for the granite. And no other material will do the trick. The hammer used in this first stage weighs 17 pounds and it has to be swung a half hour. If it t'idn't bounce back it couldn't be done. "It doesn't require strength. Just skill. The hammer comes back by it- self. All that the beater has to do, after he's once started, is to „aide it." Mr. Madsen was cutting a ribbon of gold, as it had come out of the rol- ler, into inch and a half squares. These he Iaid between four-ineh squares of vellum until he had a stack nearly an inch thick. Around it he fitted two wide bands of what looked like old paper. "But it isn't Taper," he said. "It's parchment from old 16th and 17th century documents bought in England. It's the only material that will do. Paper or cloth wouldn't last five min- utes." The "cutch" ready, he laid it on a granite block and commenced to beat it. At' the end of a half hour, when the bands were taken off, the leaves of gold had spread to the edges of the ,vellum. Each of these he now cut into four squares with a knife, and again made them into a package, this time caller- a "shoder." Instead of vellum, "goldbeaters' skins" were now laid between the sheets of gold. These are obtained from • the blind gut of an ox, and it takes 380 oxen to supply enough mem- brane for one ,shoder. For two hours he beat the pack- age, this time with a seven -pound hammer. When he had finished the old had again covered the surface of the skins. Now it was so thin that t could no longer be lifted with the ngers ori cut with a knife. Instead he sheets were laid on a leather cash - on and quartered with a "wagon." "The edge of a steel knife would eave a ragged edge, or ever tear off orners," said Mr. Madsen. "So we u'se this little instrument. It con- ists of a boxwood frame and handle th two parallel runners. The run- ers are- of malacca, which will take much cleaner edge than steel." For the next beating the thin quares of gold were laid between oldbeaters' skins, made into three ekages called "molds," each of which was beaten for"four hours. In lacing the gold between the rrkins, r. Madsen dusted each with what oked like a clumsy home-made brush. "Only it isn't a brush," he explain- ed. "It's the hind foot of a Siberian are. At this thickness gold adheres trickly to anything it touches. The skins of the mold have to be baked a press to drive all the moisture out of them before they can be used. en they' are dpated with tide pow- er made out of fine1�' pulvarited stone mixed with a shaving soap lather and levied to dry« For bi sMng the e*d , nothing *ofka as teen' as the 1t11lr1 of 6f a • tlen Iia e.'
