John Laing -1* When North Sitle \V._lfis, meeting). When we think of the giving of gifts, we invariably think of money. Indeed, much of our thinking is in regard to money, and the things that money can buy. It ie said that money talks, but what it says to most of us is 'good-bye.' Just what does money mean anyway? "What does money mean to me? Nothing but this: A chance to smooth a rougher road The power to iighten a heavier load Till a face, long sad, with joy has glowed, That is what money meats to ate. What does money mean to God? Simply this: A chance to answer some terrified prayer, To teach us the 'lesson .of how to share And learn to depend on His daily care. That is what money means to Ga. \Vhat does money mean to you? Is it this: A chance to help a.brother man; To help our God with a better plan For this old world. You know you can. Is that what stoney means to you? There are people who estimate everything in terms of money. When Mary at Bethany broke the alabaster vase there were people who said "It might have been sold." Mary was not thinking in terms of money. If you had asked her why she poured out the precious ointment, worth three hundred days' wages, she could not have answered, Love does not think in terms of money. .Love is extravagant. Once e boy spent $7,5.0 of his $9 Christmas money for yellow roses for his mother. The flowers have long since faded, but their ,fragrance still fills his mother's heart, Love never bargains, Love never calculates. Love never puts a price an what it gives. Love gives everything. It keeps back no part of the priee. It never counts the cost. ?irary poured out her treasure, not drop by drop, but in its fullness. She crushed the trans- parent crystal in her hand, and let the precious liquid escape, and it filled the whole house, living -room and kitchen, court and cellar, It has been said that it taken a woman to do what no one else ever dreams of dr- ug. Well — perhaps 1 That is what we need, The Church at ltonre and abroad is restrained, crippled, circumscribed. Resources for carrying the 'Gospel over land and sea are depleted, \Ye are better equipped, Netter organized, better budgetted than the Church .has ever been, but there is no dynamic in a budget formula, It is only when love ;finds fell and free•expressiot that the priceless alabaster cruse with its'pre- does contents is poured out and the Church is filled with fragrance, Let me ask you something. How do you expect to match the love of Christ? It was this that Mary was thinking about, ;for it was she who first saw the ,Cross..How do you plan to match the extravagance of the Crass? "He who Was rich, yet for our sakes became poor." How •do you plan to match that? 'The Son of Man cane not to be ministered unto, but to minister, mid to give His life a ransom for many," Tell me how yon propose •to match that, Surely not-, by a •little addition and much substrac- tion, It must be by the extravagance of a love 'that says, "Take my love; my Lord, 'I pour at Thy feet its treasure -store," There is .nothing fra- grant about the Cross, but the love that made it a necessity. A Cross is an instrument of death. The only thing that we can do is _to weave about it the garland of our own un - withholding love. At a wedding, one is always in- terested in the beautiful gilts set apart in a dedicated ' room. Some one who knows, perhaps the bride's mother, takes you as to a sacred shrine where love is revealed, and tells you the Secrets, "Mrs. :So and So gave :this. Isn't it lovely? Mrs. So and So gave that. (Isn't it beautiful? Judge So and So gave that, We valve his friendship. lir, So and Si, —a very distinguished name -gave that. He has known her since she. was a child. Dr, So and So ,gave this. He cared for her during a very seri- ous illness. FI'er minister and his wife gave that with their 'love. That token of their love will always be very precious .to her." It is all very sweet and beautiful, and the whole house is filled with the fragrance of love. Then one thinks of the treasures which Christ has had given Hint and which IIe keeps as memories of love, Perhaps some day He will show them to us. I wonder what He has kept. I think IIe has in Iris keepingg the two mites which the widow east into the temple treasury, FIe will have the cup which held the water o: facob'e we'll, given Him by the wo- man of Samaria, He will have the spices and fine linens which the wo- men brought to the empty tomb. Per- haps He will 'have haskete of flowers, still blooming like Aaron's, rod, given flint by the lepers IIe healed, I am sure He will have the fragments of Mary's alabaster vase which wilt still retain the fragrance of her far-seeing love.

That is the ambition and the pro - ,gramme of one of the fastest humans —Bill Bonthron of Detroit, says. the Detroit Times. IBNII hates the cinder path and loves the bookkeepers desk, This Detrbit boy who has astonished the athletic world by his wonderful work on the track, has just graduated from Prin- ceton. While a student there he made world records at distance running, but he doesn't like running. "'I shall be very happy when I have run my last race," said this great athlete, "I am going into business in September and will never race again, "Though I do hold some world records on the track I have never liked the game, I began running at Northern High here in Detroit be- cause I thought students sh.oull do something in athletics, but I was not much interested in the sport; I .had fairly good success around here, but was never a star. Then I went to prep school at Exeter, preparing to enter Princeton. There I went in for track work, but without much en- thusias,m, I won the interscholastic championship there at the big Harv- ard meet in the mile event,. 1t Princeton I continued to run because 3- believed it 103' duty, but 1 hated track work. I am going to Eur- ope in a few clays to compete in games at London, Stockholm, Goth- enburg, Copenhagen, Berlin, ,ITam- burg, Paris, Versailles and 'Milan. Af- ter those meetings are over I shall lay aside trey track uniform forever and be happy, I shall go to work and forget the track. I have no track ambitions whatever," All of which seems to refute the theory that one must love his work to excel in it. Bill Bonthron, holder ,of the wood 1,500 -meter record; de- tested track- competition and yet be- came a record-hreaker. \','hat he could have done had he put his soul into the competition will never be known because Bill Bonthron will never be•interested in track competi- tion and never has been. When he set a new World record fer 1,500 meters June 30 in the A.A.U. meet it was only because his hated rival, Glenn Cunningham, threatened to establish a new world record and Bill wanted b' beat hhu t,, it. ITe succeeded be- cause he didn't like Cunningham. He didn't like the track, he didn't like the ,game in any Fence, yet lie (lid want to beat- anything Cunningham could do. This is the attitude of the youth who is going to European capitals to compete 1n the classic rages of the year. He goes without interest, en- thusiasm or ambitien. He is just go- ing to run, His les will work fast and he will try to win. He doesn't voneider it an honor or a distinction to run faster than other people can run. It bores hint. Ile is astonishing in this respect and can be compared only to Gene Tanney, who won the world boxing championship while hating the game. Bonthron is the son of William D. Bonthron, .manage. of Price, Waterhouse cC Co.. international ac- countants. Bill Bonthron will go into the New fork office of the company and ,:earn the business. If he succeeds iifi may succeed his father. If he can account as fast as he can run he will succeed his dad. «n: �•�v�ieir2` ..

Weekly Crop Report Fall wheat has headed out but straw is short and a reduced acreage as a result of the severe winter killing foreshadows a crap ,of subistantiaiiy below average. ;Barley and oats, of which there is an increased acreage, are masking satisfactory progress. Early sown corn is showing rapid growth and the crop is promising. While meadows have benefited from the recent rains, a short hay crop is indicated, The tobacco acreage is re- duced and unfavorable conditions have necessitated: considerable re- planting. Apple orchard•s suffered more damage than early estimates in- dicated and a large number of trees were 'killed, The New Strawberry Plantation To ensure a goad crop of straw- berries next year, it is important that the plantation set out this spring re- ceive careful attention.
