frequently examining it in the

In today's lesson Paul writes
of ministerial support. At Cor-
inth and Thessalonica he work-
ed at tent making to support
himself. He felt that to do other-
wise in these particular situa-
tions would hinder the Gospel
of Christ, Nevertheless he clear-
ly taught that "the Lord has or-
dained that they which preach
the gospel should live of the
gospel."
• How does your minister's pup-
port compare with those who
have spent the same length of
time in preparing for their life's
work? Have you made provision
for his car expense? This is a
big item. About 90% of his driv-
ing is for the church. Have you
thought of the many free meals
which the minister's wife will
serve in the course of a year?
Most ministers' children are in-
clined to gain more than the
average of education. They
shouldn't be denied this oppor-
tunity.
The Minister is not above
temptation. Some have fallen for
money and some for women. If
a man's interest is in making
money he should never enter the
ministry. He, is the confidant of
many. He must not betray their
trust. His personal and public
life must be above reproach. His
example will carry more weight
than his words. No one should
enter the ministry who has not
experelenced the New Birth as
taught by Jesus, (John 3).
Theory is not sufficient. He can-
not lead others to Jesus Christ
as Lord and Saviour unless he
knows the way himself. Great is
the responsibility of the minis-
ter.

. The idea is to make it poss-
ible, with a "parlor" or "salon,"
to bring feeder pigs to market
weight every 00 days. Feeder
pigs are placed in these "salons"
when they weigh from 60 to 80
pounds. They never leave until
they reach market weight - 180
to 240 pounds, say,
One of the big problems of the
hog business, of course, is the
extreme seasonal variation in
the volume of hogs marketed,
writes Henry Losene in The
Christian Science Monitor. Fre-
quently slaughter is several
times greater in midwinter than
in midsummer. Actual equali-
zation' would hardly be desir-
able, -animal husbandry special-
ists and economists alike-, con-
cede. Yet they agree the indus-
try would be much better off if
the difference were not so great.
The revolutionary new trend
puts pork production on an effi-
cient, assembly-line basis and
also provides better control over
most factors that usually spell
the difference between profit
and loss.

the eternal curse upon himself •
and his family to come, for no
three generations will inherit-:
father to eldest son and on to,
eldest grandson - • without .a
break. That curse has come true
in an extraordinary manner.
In the Royal Family c'e Eng-
land there was Henry VIII who
broke up the monasteries, pil-
laging their property and leav-
ing the monks to wander penni-
less about the country begging
for bread. One after another
Henry's three children came to
the throne, but since none of
them had any offspring the
crown then passed to James VI
of Scotland.
A similar type of curse goes
through many families.
In 1916, I married, for the first
time, the son of a famous fam-
ily. Three generations before
that they had incurred the se-
vere disRleasure of the Church
Nobody had ever told me what
actually happened; it was one of
those things that they did not
like' to talk about (because I.
imagine it gave them the jitters).
A priest had cursed them (1
gather rightly so), and because
a man of that family had raised
his left hand in rage against
him, he had vowed that the
women of the family would bear
eldest sons who, in turn, bore
mark of that very hour, and
the ability to kill with the left
hand would be taken from them,
In the generation which I
knew, both my husband and his
cousin (also an eldest son) had
deformed left hands, which they
could hardly use. And they were
not the first •to be so afflicted.
"Just an accident," said my
,husband brightly. "It does not
bother me too much, anyway,
and for myself I don't believe a
word of it,"
• He was referring to the curse,
of course. But I did believe in
it-and still do.

Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking
A Cure For Colds
At Last?
For 25 years, medical re-
searches have sought a reliable
method. for preventing man's
expensive and universally an-
noying ailment - the common
cold. But for the 500 million
colds caught annually in the
U.S. at a cast of $5 billion,
there is as yet no all-out im-
munization. Vaccines, serums,
and "cold-resistant" pills are
sold by the millions, When it
comes to cutting down the na-
tion's cold rate, not one seems
worth a sniffle.
The main obstacle; Colds are
caused by viruses, perhaps a
dozen varieties of these elusive
organisms. Until. a vaccine is
prepared which combats all the
cold viruses, more than 90 per
cent of the nation's population
will continue to have at least
one cold each year.
Last month, in Baltimore,
Md., a young Johns Hopkins
scientist, 34-year-old Winston
H. Price, announced that he had
isolated one form of the com-
mon-cold virus, which, he be-
lieves, accounts for about 30 per
cent of America's respiratory
infections and causes a slight
sore throat, a stuffy nose, and
a touch of fever.
Widespread reports last month
on the JH vaccine brought an
excited response from men and
women, ever ready to grasp at
anything that offers hope for
relief from their seasonal run-
ning noses. Scientists were more
cautious. In Chicago, an official
of the American Medical Asso-
ciation said: "Vaccines have
been developed in recent years
without notable success . . be-
cause colds are caused by many
different types, of viruses. On
this particular vaccine, we can-
not comment until we've seen
the complete scientific report."
At a news conference Dr.
Price replied with professional
modesty: "It is absolutely mis-
leading if anyone thinks he is
going to have an all-inclusive
cure for colds from this JH vac-
cine. This is just an entering
wedge, an opening we have not

geroite, r.
Let me snit it another way.
Would You, for instance, have
Worn the Hope diamond? The
Stone that was stolen from a
Hindu temple idol and is reputed
to have brought tragedy to its
owners and their friends for
More than 200 years? Or would
you have rejected the -opportun-
ity, believing it to be something
which could wreak a dreadful
vengeance?
1, personally, would never have
touched that fabulously rare and
Precious stone; for I believe that
there are stranger factors in this
world of ours than many im-
agine, and to cross swords with
the supernatural is to cross
swords with death!
The Hope diamond murdered
people; it left millionaires penni-
ness es it went from one owner
to another, leaving behind' it a
series of disasters. Men laughed
at the idea of its being evil. They
bought it because they flattered
themselves that they were too
big for it to touch them, and later
cursed the day that they had
ever set eyes on it.
The Hope diamond was bought
in 1949 by Mr, Harry Winston
who does not believe in the hoo-
doo, He has often exhibited it
for charity which, he claims,
brings luck to somebody.
But am I really being silly
and superstitious when I say em-
phatically that I would never
have anything to do with the
diamond?
When the Koh-a-Noor diamond
was given to Queen Victoria it
came with a killer's reputation.
Moguls had died when they wore
it in their turbans, it was a stone
which seemed to have hatred for
men and kept a desperate death
tryst with them. Thnenvoy who
brought it to the Queen told her
that this was one of the most
famous diamonds in the world
, ... and that it would never harm
a woman.
Queen. Victoria wore it in her
crown and enjoyed prosperity
from its splendour. What did Ed-
ward VII do when he came to the
throne? He listened to advisers
who warned him about its strange
power and ordered its to be re-
set in the consort's crown, worn
b y Queen Alexandra. Queen
Mary and Queen Elizabeth at
their coronations.
To-day it is set in the Queen
Mother's crown. I am not the
only one who is superstitious, ap-
parently.
In Egypt there was an age-old
superstition that those who tam-
pered with the tombs of the
Pharaohs met with disaster.
Meath lurks in the tombs of the
' Kings, is the old proverb that was
quoted.)
What happened when t h e
tomb of the eighteen-year-old
King Tut-ankh-Amen was dis-
covered in 1922? There were ,
warnings of the dread supersti
tion, but they were ignored. Ex-
cavations went on writes Ursula
Bloom in "Tit-Bits".
When they actually came to
the great moment and the av-
oid tomb was finally opened
(wherein lay the remains of the
Pharaohs, and the secrets of the
centuries), a strange object, big-
ger than a butterfly, but not as
large as a sparrow, fluttered out
into the light. Like a ghost! .
It terrified the natives for they
declared that this was the super-
stition, this was the curse.-which
lived on' as guardian of the
graves.
Many of the men concerned
in that enterprise died within the
year. One of them, Lord Carnar-

that by using similar methods,
we may help isolate one or more
viruses which make up the
other part of the mermen cold."

Masterpiece
On The Wail
In Sir Edmund Bacon's ances-
tral home, flanked by the
haughty canvases of Gainsbor-
ough and Reynolds, hung a little
painting long attributed to a
minor Italian artist named Gio-
vanni. Francesco Caroto. "My
wife and I have always admired
it and often wondered why no
one else did," recalls Sir Edmunds,
who is Britain's Premier Bar-
onet. Last month experts won-
dered too. "Saint Jerome in
Penitence Before a Crucifix" ham
turned out to be an original. Al-
brecht Durer worth at least
$560,000. Durer (1471-1528) was
the leader of the German Re-
naissance school of painting and
is regarded as the inventor of
etching..eversal
months ago, a 30-
year-old art dealer named David
Carritt was at the London:
Reference Library thumbing
through a catalogue: which con-
tained a reproduction •of Sir
Edmund's painting... Carritt no-
ticed a familiar lionying in the

tion with a ljon hr a drawing
signed by purer in Hamburg.

that it was a Durer. To make
sure, Lady Becon--put the _paint-
ing in a shopping basket and
took it to London, where it was
cleaned _and given a final and
.successful examination.
The restorer, Dr. Johan Hell,
who did the cleaning extolled
the picture as the kind "that
doesn't exist on The market to-
day-it is in magnificent condi-
tion." Exquisitely detailed, the
painting has. a delicate pink and
gray sky; Saint Jerome is wear-
ing a brilliant blue robe and
his cloak and hat thrown before
him are bright orange; the
lion's eyes glow with an almost
human intelligence,

Reasearclf in recent years has
shown that livestock are more
productive and gain weight
more rapidly if they are kept
cool and comfortable in hot
weather. This is especially true
of hogs because they have no
sweat glands - which is why
they wallow in the mud; they
must keep cool.
This recognition has been
bringing a dramatic change to
the Southern farm scene this
past summer, a change which
apparently represents the be-
ginning of a trend which could
have implications of far-reach-
ing economic\ significance.
Old-timers at hog raising as
well as farmers just venturing
for the first time into commer-
cial hog production now bandy
around such descriptive, even if
somewhat facetious, terms as
"pig parlor," "swine castle,"
"hog salon," "pig cafeteria."
Basically, these comparatively
luxurious quarters offer a way
of growing hogs in confinement
on concrete, so that the most
modern management, labor-sav-
ing, and sanitation methods and
feeding techniques can be easily
applied.
* M *
Farmers aren't merely talking
about such swanky pig domi-
ciles. They are rushing to build
them. Actually, they are no
more than a shed type of build-
ing erected on a concrete slab
which can easily be kept clean
with a water hose. They also
provide self-service waterers
and feeders where the pig can
eat whenever he wants, cafe-
teria style. These are tremend-
ous labor savers.
* w *
As Southern hog raisers are
well aware, on very hot days
pigs stop eating in the morning
and won't eat again until sun-
down. The "parlor"-reared pig
gets the benefit on hot days of
a cool mist from overhead spray
nozzles:The spray cools the pigs
as well as the concrete. Remain-
ing comfortable, the pig strolls
.over and feeds himself at the
automatic self-feeder whenever
he is hungry.
The idea of "confined rearing"
of pigs on concrete isn't limited
to the Southern part of the
United States by any means. It
has attracted the attention of
many good hog farmers in all
sections of the country, and in
Canada. But because of the hot
climate, the trend has been very
rapid in Dixie this year,

"We've poured more concrete
in 1957 than in the preceding. 57
years," is the way J. K. Butler,
Jr., animal husbandry extension
specialist at North Carolina
State College here in Raleigh,
eloquently describes the "cone
fined rearing" trend iii North
Carolina.
Extension service specialists
in virtually every Seidl-tern
state report similar develop-
reehts. In 80t110 states, toneider-
ehle research has been done to
demonstrate that feeding hogs
on concrete is practical and that
with modern feeds, inatiege-s
ment, and sanitation, hogs will
grow faster on toticrete than on
pasture.
