Corinthians 15 God shows through the Apostle Paul that unless there is a bodily resurrection from the uead there is no Gospel, no sal- vation; the faith of all of all believ- ers is vain and empty and hopeless, the apostles who testified to Christ's resurrection are perjurers and those who have died trusting Christ are lost. "But—thank God —now is Christ risen from the dead," The resurrection of believers at the return of the Lord just precedes The "future life" is not limited to life in Heaven, only; there is a future life on this earth, and for this earth, and the first lesson selection refers to this. It tells of the judgment of nations on earth, at the return of the Lord from Heaven to this earth, The nations are' separated by Christ the Judge, and are called "sheep" and "goats," according to their treatment of those whom He calls "My brethren." The latter toms re- fered to our Lord's brethren after the flesh, the Jews. The miracle of resurrection does not enter into this passage or event. But to those in His day who said "there is no resurrection," the Lord Jesus declared that there is. He proved it by a logical argument: the fact that, long after the physical death of Abraham) Isaac and Jacob. God told Moses that He was the God of those three patriarchs was God's pledge of the resurrection, for "He is not the God of the dead, !'lit the God of the living." Those three saints who had died must rise again from the dead, for God was still their Cod. The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, after His cru- cifixion and burial, made the Gospel. There would have been no Gospel of salvation for lost men if Christ had simply lived as a man on earth and never died. There would have been no Gospel if IIe had lived, and died, and had never taken Itis human body again. The Gospel consists of the fact that "Christ died for our i sins according to the scriptures; and that Ile was buried and that He rose again ,he third day according to the scriptures." For there would have been no victory over death if Christ quad not been raised from the dead. "The wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6.23), and it is Satan that has the power of death (IIeb, 2:14). Christ voluntarily submitted to that power when He beeane the sinner's Substitute and bore the penalty of the sinner's sins. If Re had not been raised from the dead, sin and Satan would have won an eternal victory over Christ and God. The resurrection of Christ, after the death penalty ,was paid, was God's eternal victory over Oaten. This consuel. mated the Gospel, The victory over Satan was complete.

So it was not a ghost or a spirit that the disciples saw in their risen Saviour Must Plow Out Stubble or Cut Level WILL BE ENFORCED and Lord. He declared this tothem in the words: "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me ]lave." (Luke 24:39.) Resurrection for believers is in- separably connecter] with the Second Coining of Christ, His return to this earth. That promised return does not mean a spirit return or the com- ing of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, but the visible bodily return of the glorified Lord Jesus: "This same Tesus, which is taken up from you in- to Heaven, shall so come in like man- ner as ye 'have seen Him go into Heaven." (Acts 1:11.) He promised His disciples that He 1Va, leaving them in order to "go to prepare a place" for them. He continued: "And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." it has been pointed out that the "I will come a- gain" is as certain as "I go," The manner of Christ's coming a- gain to receive unto Himself those who believe in Him is described in I, Thessalonians 4. Iie will receive both living and (lead believers, and those who "are alive and remain unto the cooling of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep." A wonderful picture follows, a pic- ture that is going to be fulfilled to the letter, It is called the "rapture" or catching up of the Church. As the Lord Himself descends from Heaven, the dead in Christ shall rise first ---that is, before living believers are taken, What a mighty army of the dead shall then instantly spring from their burial places throughout the entire earth--- their bodies, that is—as their spirits which have been with the Lord in Heaven are reunited to their bodies, "Then we which are alive and remain shell be caught tip to gether with them in the clouds, to meet the I:,ord in the air; aid so shall we over be with the Lord," That will be an Easter day indeed. With Ground — Regulations Un- changed. Some weeks ago there Was a rumor that the Department of Agriculture did not intend to enforce the corn Borer Act strictly until this spring. This report was referred to the Pro vincial Entomologist, Professor Caes- ar, who promptly stated that it was unfounded and that the act would be firmly and impartially. enforced. "To slacken up now when the fight is being won," he said "would be the height of folly and would give the borer a great advantage." Benefits Received. ' As proof of the benefit received from the operation of the act he stated that in the six counties which were most heavily infested in 1927, namely, Essex, Lambton, Middlesex, Elgin and Welland, last year's clean up alone had reduced the borers 90 per cent. He also said that though the borers inEssex and Kent had been so aboundant in 1926 that practical- ly half the corn there had been either rained or ahnost ruined, so great was the change last year that not more than a dozen fields in two countries combined had been ruined or nearly ruined, Moreover there were strong irtlications that We spring there would be a great in crease in the amount of. corn grows: in, these two countries. Had there been no act in force, there would not have been a dozen fields of corn planted in eithteo/ country this sprng Therefore, every fat•um'r should give the inspectors his hearty support in requiring that all corn remnants be destroyed this sprig so that the bore ere might be still further reduced. No Changes. When asked if there were any changes in the regulations this year, he said that the only Change was that if a farmer strongly desired to do so, he could omit plowing his sornield, but only on condition that lie eut the corn level with the ground and ga- thered and burned all the remnants. "Plowing oat the stubble and go- thering and burning It would, of course," he added, "accomplish the Immo purpose." He gave a warning that if the stub- ble was cut even an inch above the ground -level no exemption from piowing would be given ; for investi- gation lust fall showed that, many more borers than expected wee win- tering in the stubble below the sur- face, more than 5,000 per acre hav- ing aying been found in one heavily infest- ed field In Essex. On account of this fact, the inspectors had been in- structed to urge every grower whose field was heavily Infested last fall to plow it this spring because this was the only way the borer below the slit fare could he killed. It was pointed out, moreover, that plowing was the quickest and easiest method of clean- ing up a field. Attention was tailed to the fact that farmer's could save themselves a great deal of hand-picking if they would be very careful to cut their corn low, to break off the stubble or crush or disc it thoroughly before piowing,• and then use a wide furrow plow with a skimmer and bury every- thing coinpletely. Precaution should Oleo be taken when working the soil this springto drag up as little stub- ble as possible. Any farmer in doubt about the best way to deal with his corn field should "consult the inspect- ors, who will be glad to give any helpful advice in their power, When eked whether research work ort the borer was being continued, Professor Caesar said that he hoped lcontrol measures would gradually be I so improved that farmers would ul- timately consider the borer no harder i to combat than the potato beetle, JHere, and1 T here (259) .Although Canadians have been styled strong "silent" men there seems little to support the re- putation in the rocint announce- ment that they are the world's greatest telephone conversation- alists. There are 1,259,987 tele- phones in (`anada, recently pub- lished statistics disclose, allowing for a 'phone for every eight per- sons. If all the conversations that took place during the past year were placed end to end they would be heard in Mars, for every citizen held on an average of 221 conversations during 1928. Pre- sumably this does not include wrong numbers. One of Montreal's first big build- ings that was demolished to make room for .one of the latest sky- scrapers downtown has appen. ed on an entirely new site, to the amazement of the citizens. So care- fully was the building taken down that scarce a soore of new stones were required to complete its re- construction on its new lot. Up to December 31, 1928 the Canadian Pacific had spent in co- lonization and Canadian develop- ment work, land settlement, etc., nearly 585,000,000 of its own money.

That at any rate, is what government figures show, the ag- gregate national wealth for 1928— $2(1,091,482.050—working out 01 that amount per person. Agriculture is the largest single item, and the western provitices come first in the highest per capita wealth of any part of the Dominion.

An oil soaked fan can be treated with castor oil. In an emergency, some 1±uller's earth can be sprinkled on the leather or fabric. Tires containing to much air will cause riding discomfort, and tires under inflated are likely to be in- jured by bruised or rim cuts. Because of a lime -scale that forms inside the radator, it i, a good plan to flush the coding system once or twice a season with washing soda acid hot water. Always make proper signals before stopping, starting and turning, so that other drivers may know what to do and thus avoid collisions and traffic tie-ups, Clean oil squirted on the rocker arms and valve springs will often eliminate a tight valve and also pre- vent excess wear on both valve stems and valve -stem guides. A frozen water pump can be thawed out by first plaeing a cloth soaked with hot water over the unit, and then pouring additional hot water on the cloth from a container. Among the many reasons why an engine refuses to start are that the spray nozzle, float varve or feed tank may be dogged, the gasoline tank empty or the supply cock shut off.

Where these flourish and are scale it is safe to surmise that the people of that section realize and appre date the value to them of such a centre. What Main" ains it ;F The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts. But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the ap keep of the institutions in such towns are in the hands of the business interests, together with those directly and in- directly connected therewith. Without the active business and professional men to supervise and govern these public institu- tion; and undertakings ,no town could thrive. Who is Mainly Affected? Every citizen either in of about a town should be concerned in acing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good cause which may be promoted, etcher by financial or active aup•'ert, Only in this way will any town prosper and develop as it should. Publicity is Required In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part. It is ever the champion of worthy causes and philanthr)rie and patriotic undertakings. But to function properly, and fully carry out its natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the ftnancivl support of the emu -mite it serves.
