Giving tribute was paying taxes, the various taxes collected by the hated Publicans, "Caesar" 'was the title of the Roman ^Emperor, front which we have derived Kaiser and Czar. But Jesus perceived their, wicked,. ness. They were wicked ltecause, their question was not an honest one. They pretended to be undecided, while each party had made its own unalterable decision. They pretendedto want Christ's guidanee, while actually they did not carr; what he said. Either of the two replies' he night give would afford 'them a charge against him, And said; Why make ye „trial of me, ye hypocrites? Jesus welcomed test- ing, if it was an honest attempt to learn the truth, such, for instance, as was made by Nicodemus in his night ly visit.; but probably nothing offend- ed our Lord More .than hypocrisy, - Show me the tribute money. "The `tribute money' had a foreign naine,— census, a Latin word, The term 'it self was full of prejudice. Matthew the collector would well know its sig- nificance And they brought unto. hint a denarius. The denarius .was a Silver coin worth £roiii fifteen to sev- enteen cents, but having a purchas ing value of about ten timers that much, 'And he saith 'unto: thein, Whose is this image land superscription? The Jews held it unlawful to place human effigies'on their coins, though Herod. Philip, out of compliment to his Ro mon masters, placed on his coins the. head of the Emperor.

Condens- ing in sone masterful sentence a whole treatise on political economy .and re- ligions principles. Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caes- ar's; and unto God the things that are God's. Our Lord did not evade the question, but lifted it to a plane of highest reason. It is a matter, he virtually said, of paying your just debts. You owe Caesar, that is, the Roman Government, . for certain. things which the Empire is doing for you.I t is affordingyon a stable cur- rency Which you use.

THE CHRISTIAN CITIZEN LOVES HIS NEIGHBOR Rut the Pharisees, when they' heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence. Literally "muzzled them," The Pharisees, much as they desired the defeat of Jesus, Would chickle at 'the discomfiture of their foes, the Sadducees; for the Pharisees were strict patriots .and nationalists, while the Sadducees favored the Romans. Gathered themselves together. They were Christ's implacable foes, bitter, determined, returning again and again to the attack. And one of them, a lawyer. He was a scribe, Mark 12:28, a man learn- ed in the written law of the Jews and skilled in interpreting it and tea- ching it. Asked hint a question, try- ing him, The .ctuestiot he asked was one that was often debated in the Jewish theological schools; one in which the lawyer felt'hintsel.f at home. Teacher, which is the great com- mandment in the law? In the deep- est sense, all of God's commandments are so great, ',so vastly "i nportant,,that they cannot be compared. And he said Tinto him, Mark gives Christ's full quotation of Deut. 6: 4; 5, the "Shenia" or "Hear" which was written on a slip 'of parchment in- closed in the little leather box, the phylactery, which the lawyer was probably wearing on itis forhead, and to which Jesus probably pointed as he spoke.

Cberncal Weed Killers Every farmer in Huron ;County is very much concerned with the weed situation and all are interested in any development in the use of Chemicals to control weeds. If has been found in experimental and field tests, that there are certain chemicals which may ebought bat a -reasonable cost iyhiclt are very effective in killing weeds. The most serious objection we have to these chemicals is their cost, which in the case of some materials now on the market makes their use almost prohibitive. However, one way of cutting down the cost of these Mat- erials is in ordering them in bulk. Already a number of farmers in Hur- on have placed: orders and we plan to secure a quantity of the material, which when bought in bulk can be secured at reasonable cost. In tests conducted in the 'province of Ontario it has been definitely provenat a inumber of Chemical .Weed Killers now on the market are absolutely ef- fective in controlling such. weeds as Sew Thistle,* :Bladder Campion, Wild Carrot and Twitch Grass. These weeds represent the majority of the commoner types of plants whichare giving the most trouble and we know that many of thecal when they first appear start in small patches in the field. In such cases culivation is very often not practicable 'and it is under Circumstances of this kind that chem- icals would be of very great value. The material which a number of the farmers in the county: plait to use is Sodium Chlorate. This is the cheap- est chemical now on the market and may be secured at 8c per lb. in 112 ib, drums. In smaller' quantities the price would be 10c per lb, and one pound will cover approximately 200 square feet, and one application has ,been found sufficient to kill the weeds. We believe that it would, be in the best interests of every farijmer in the County to give one of the commoner- weed killers a trial. If you wish to secure this material or desire further .information, write the Ontario 1 the lawyer, desiring, to justify himself ,for asking a question,.whose answer he should have known, as it was drawn froth the law on which he was supposed to be an authority asked far- ther for a definition of: the word "neighbor" alit! Christ answered with the -beautiful and very pointedparable of the good Samaritan, the resultant definition being that a neighbor is one who, like the Sainaritait, • nlinist- ers to another's need. On these two commandments the whole law hangetlt, and the prophets. Ily "the law and the prophets" the Jews would understand the entire Old Testament to be meant, Strictly they divided the Old Testament into three divisions, the Law (the five Books of Moses, the Pcnatettch),'the 'Proph- ets' (in which were included ':certain historical books), and the Psalms,; in. eluding writings, mostly poetical.

WHEN Professor Anderson found the way to shoot wheat and rice grains from guns he solved an important problem. He gave these crisp, delicious, ready -to -eat cereals the -virtual nourishment of hot cooked cereals. Every grain of wheat and rice contains 125 million food cells. Every food cell must be broken before the grain can be completely digestible, It takes long hours of cooking to do this. But Professor Anderson found a better way. He seals grains of wheat and rice in bronze guns. Revolves them in fiery ovens. Then fires the guns. This causes 125 million explosions in every grain. It blasts open every tiny food cell. Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice are thus made completely digestible. Hence "practically as nourishing as hot cooked cereals. The grains become 8 times normal size. They have all the buttery crunchiness of fresh toast. They are made to taste like sweet new nut -meats. Never before was rich grain nourishment made so delectably good to eat.
