Timothy 1:8.
Timothy is a shining example
of courageous, devoted youth ,It
was on Paul's second visit to Lys-
tra that Timothy was invited to
join the missionary party. That
he went along is the more re-
Amarkable because it was here
that Paul on his first visit was
stoned, dragged out of the city
and left for dead. But Timothy
saw lives transformed through the
ministry of Paul. Indeed, it is al-
together likely that it was at this
time that Timothy became a be-
liever in Jesus Christ. He had had
careful teaching in the Scrip-
tures, and his mother and grand-
mother were women of faith But
this was the entry of Christianity
to Lystra,
Timothy proved a valuable
helped. From the tone of the let-
ter written to him by Paul one
concludes that he is the closest
to Paul's heart of any of the
workers. Here is a comment
about him from Paul's letter to
the Philippians, "I have no man
like-minded, who will naturally
care for your state. For all seek
their own, not the things which
are Jesus Christ's. But ye know
the proof of him, that, as a son
with the father, he hath served
with me in the gospel."
Timothy endured hardness as
a good 'soldier of Jesus Christ. He
did not use `youth' as an ex-
cuse for the indulgence of sin-
ful lusts but pursued righteous-
ness, faith, love, peace. Even in
youth he was an example to be-
lievers,
Young people should read the
letters to Timothy frequently.
Here was a young man transform-
ed by the power of Jesus Christ.
There was no loose living for
him; he was a self-disciplined
youth of high ideals. If he were
here today we can't imagine him
being a slave to alcohol, nicotine,
obscene literature or any of the
other things which impair a man
and make him less than the best
he can be in the sight of God and
for helpful service to his fellow-
man. We need more youth like
Timothy, today.
Business is never good business
unless it makes friends.
Officials of the Canada De-

"Don't let_your household pets,

Although the incidence of
rabies has not reached alarm-
ing proportions anywhere in
Canada so far this year, a steady
number of rabies cases, particu-
larly 'in wildlife, are being. con-
. firmed by laboratory tests.
In Ontario alone, 108 cases
were confirmed between April 1
and July 31. Of 'these, 70 were
in wildlife, particularly'in foxes,
skunks, raccoons and wolves. Of
the 38 cases in domestic animals,
nine were in dogs which, it is
believed, were, left free to run in
the woods. • *
A few cases have also been
confirmed in western counties of
Quebec and in the southwestern
portion of Manitoba. Of 14 cases
reported in Manitoba, all but two
involved skunks.
Most heavily ;infested area of
Ontario'is Renfrew County where
18 cases, nearly all in foxes, have
been reported since April 1.

the semantics of "cake." Nobody
in Maine would suppose blue-
berry cake. Is a cake, and to eon.
fuse it with a dessert is im-
possible. ,Blueberry cake is a
hotbread, to be eaten with the
meal, anointed with plenty of
butter, and these people who
thought it was a substitute for
pie were straining. I felt
keenly for these f ours who
unbraided me — they had
saved it for afterward, and
seeing how lonely it looked in
the, nappy had, saturated it with
lemon sauce, covered it with ice
cream, and had labored some-
how to make it'look like what
they thought it ought to look
like, Their families, in general,
dutifully ate it, but expressed no
keen joy and spent the evening
in silence looking at Mother with
concern and wonder, Mother felt,
it was all my fault, and said so.
So I was skinning out the oc-
casional blue blueberry, thinking
about this, and the tree frogs
were improvising, and my tin
bumper gradually accumulated
the required amount, and I kept
thinking how lucky I was to have
grown up in this vicinity where
such things happily shaped 'my
career, It must be sad and lone-
ly, I thought, to dwell in distant
places where the function of the
blueberry is unknown and mis-
understood, and sometimes gets
a sauce on it. I further reflected
how the blueberry wisely makes
himself prominent in areas
where he is appreciated, but
whether this is cause or effect
I am unable.to say. No, I had not
mispelled the recipe, and blue-
berry cake stands as I described
it. -
A mother fox had her young
ones out on a knoll over the
pasture wall, and all the time I
was picking I could hear -them
playing. The least whiff of me,
or the snap of a twig, and she'd
have spoken them quickly into
vanishment. But the wind was
toward me, and was quiet and
the little ones yapped away and
I suppose I had found out where
my neighbor's poultry has been
going. He's been complaihing.
Twilight faded• and it was dusk,
and I wandered back to the
house.
"Blueberries!" she said. I
heard some pans banging and a
mixing noise, and the oven door
closing. I also heard her on the
telephone. "I just put a blue-
berry cake in the oven," she said,
which was ' the total conversa-
tion. Two neighbor couples Came
in shortly, full of the astronaut
and related topics, and to save
time they sat right down at the'
kitchen table .The dimensions
of the cake were 11-by-18-by-3
inches, and the time was 9.30
p.m. When it was gone everybody
gave me a rising vote of thanks
to which I responded modestly,

were too many who wondered
if I had miscopied the ingre-

me of malicious sabotage and
downright tactics, The burden
was that this certainly' made a
dubious kind of cake, and one
lady who was decidedly unhappy
said if she had only stopped to
think before she began, she'd
have known this would never
make a cake. The only way she
saved it, she wrote, was to douse
it with a rich sauce such as we

Making Candles
From Bayberries
The summer air of the coast of
New England still is sweet with
one of the freshest, purest plant-
perfumes in the world—the scent
of bayberry. These dense woody
shrubs bear profusely a tiny,
spicy, wax-coated berry; and the
earliest colonists quickly learned
that from this plentiful berry
could be obtained an inflammable
wax, which would replace and
supplement any lack of tallow.
The name so universally applied
to the plant — candleberry --
commemorates its employment
for this purpose,
I never pass the clumps of bay-
berry bushes in the early autumn
without eagerly picking and
crushing the perfumed leaves and
berries; and the clean, fresh scent
seems to awaken a dim ,recollec-
tion — a hereditary memory —
and I see, as in a vision, the so-
ber little children of the Puritans
standing in the clear glowing
sunlight, and faithfully stripping
from the gnarled bushes the
waxy candleberries; not only af-
fording through this occupation
material assistance to the house-
hold supplies, but finding therein
health, and I am sure happiness,
if they loved the bayberries as I,
their descendant, do.
The method of preparing this
wax was simple; it still exists in
a few Plymouth County house-
holds. The berries are simply
boiled with hot water in a
kettle, and the resolved wax
skimmed off the top, refined, and
permitted to harden into cakes
or candles.
When the candle-dipping be-
gan, a fierce fire was built in
the fireplace, and over it was
hung the largest house kettle,
half filled with water and melt-
ed tallow, or wax. Candlerods
were brought down from the at-
tic, or pulled out from under the
edge of beam j„ od placed skolat
a foot and a half ipNrt, teaching
from chair to chair.
Boards were placed under-
neath to save the spotless floor
from greasy drippings. Across
these rods were laid, like the
rounds of a ladder, shorter
sticks or reeds to which the
wicks were attached at intervals
of a few inches. The wicks of
loosely spun cotton' or tow were
dipped time and time again into
the melted tallow, and left to
harden between each dipping.
Of course, if the end of the kit-
chen (where stood the rods and
hung the wicks) were very cold,
,the candle grew quickly, since
they' hardened quickly; but they
were then more apt to crack.
When they were of proper size,
they were cut off, spread in a
sunny place in the garret to
bleach, arid finally stored away
in candlebokes. Sometimes the
tallow was poured into molds.
In no way was a thrifty house-
wife better known than through
her abundant stock of symmetri-
cal candles; and nowhere was a

You can get rid of poison ivy
with chemicals or implements,
but it will take persistence to
completely clear it from your
property.
E. G. Anderson, of .the Cana-
da Department of Agriculture,
explains several methods of
eradicating poison ivy in a four-
page pamphlet just issued by the
department. * • *
Chemicals, he says, are rec-
ommended for killing poison ivy
covering large areas and in other
places where it is not practical
to remove the plants with hand
implements.
For small areas, a 2 or 3-gallon
sprayer should_ be used. For
larger areas the job should be
done with a sprayer mounted on
a truck or tractor.
„ * * *
Rubber boots, coveralls and
gauntlets, are strongly recom-
mended by Mr. Anderson for
anyone who plans to eradicate
poison ivy or work where it
grows.
The first application should be
made when the foliage is well
developed, usually early in Juile.
A thorough spraying job is es-
sential and every leaf mutt be
covered with t h e chemical,
Where the growth is very thick,
it may be necessary to spray
again within a few days. The
second spraying is important be-
cause new growth or plants
missed the first time will re-
infest the area, Spraying should
be repeated whenever new
growth appears, but not after
Mid-August. Further treatments
m are usually needed the second
year to kill all the Plants.
Depending Upon the density Of
the poison ivy and the type Of
'chemical Used, one gallon of so-
lution usually covers front 100 to
200 scitiare feet, he said.

The number of cases reported
so far this year is well below
that of other, recent years. In, ,
view of this, a Health of Animals'
spokesman said, there is no cause

should be exercised in keeping
dogs from running loose in the
