In San Francisco, where the
mayor launched a campaign
against pigeons in Civic Center,
a brazen blue pigeon, above,
fearlessly laid an egg in a
judge's chamber in City Hall
on April 12. A day later she
deposited another egg in the
same spot. Court employees
turned their backs on the anti -
pigeon drive and provided a
makeshift nest. The judge even
issued an order threatening con-
tempt action against anyone
who disturbed the nest. When
two little squabs, right, appear-
ed one morning, they were
promptly dubbed "Habeas" and
"Corpus."

An implement salesman stopped
dile .car .alongside a field where a
farmer was :plowing, a plodding
brill hitched to the old-fashioned
moldboard.
He had just got nicely launched
into •a sales' talk on modern farm-
ing machinery when the farmer
held up his hand. He pointed down
the field to where a row of open
doors in a long implement -shed di-
vulged a couple of tractors, a one-
way •cultivator,.a combine and .other
kindred farm machines.
The salesman was dumbfounded.
Taking off his hat .to scratch his
head, he .exclaimed incredulously:
"Well, what are you using this
;bell for?"
The farmer gave the -salesman a
long look, spit over the Plow -
handles and •said: "I jest want -to

There is a wild wind blowing
and I'm not liking it one bit. It
isn't a cold wind but it is awfully
rough. Maybe I shouldn't grumble
when I don't have to be out in it
very much, but even in the house
it just about gives me the creeps.
And of course it does make a dif-
ference even if one does stay in-
doors ... the egg man calls and
_before I can stop it the door blows
back on its hinges. Partner hails me
from outside to help hint with a
little job and I don't hear him for
the wind. Bob says—"Watch for
John—he may be in this afternoon."
But unless I happen to look out at
exactly the right minute I won't
know whether John comes in or
not. That is what the wind does
to a farming area.
The men here are halfway
through seeding. Probably they
would have been finished except
for being hindered first by rain
and then a breakdown with the
tractor. I shall he glad when they
are through—aIl these rush jobs
sort,of keep everyone on edge. Lost
time during seeding—even only
half a clay—can make a lot of dif-
ference to the growth and harves-
ting of a crop.
Yesterday I went to Toroato—

dering. Yes, there is plenty of op-
portunity to see thrills and spills
on a one-hour drive along our high-
ways.
And yet, just the clay before, we
had been out looking at a car with
the idea of making a purchase. As
it happened the man who wanted
to sell the car was away but came
honi,e while we were waiting. He
came along the road driv'ng at
seventy or seventy five m.p.h. —
with the "rad" boiling like a tea-
kettle. Needless to say we didn't
want that car! Btit I guess we shall
have to get one of some kind— a
1940 is about as much as our budget
budget will stand—but not off the
used car lot if we can help it. Any
offers?
Our little half -ton pick-up is the
handiest thing to have around on
' the farm, but it is a long way from
being, a pleasure car. Last week
I even had to take it out once
or twice with a barrel of fuel oil
in the back! That is becau-e Bob
uses the pick-up as a portable re-
fuelling station for his tractor. Part-
ner gets annoyed if he sees me go
out with the true' loaded—but
it doesn't worry me at all—just
so long as I don't have anything
oily in the cab w ith ole. At that
I would draw the line. Otherwise
Idont mind—I never have been
over -burdened with false pride.
On our way home from Toronto
we carne through one of those new
housing surveys wher. a friend of
oars is waiting for his new home
to be completed. I suppose most of
the houses that we saw were around
mine •or ten thousand dollars and
as we looked them over I wondered
how many of them would still be
standing by the time they were
paid far! Of course, they will have
all the latest, built-in stream -lined
conveniences which is what attracts
people today—and one couldn't ask
for anything nicer if they are built
to last. I wonder ... For my part
I would sooner have av older house
in a more settled area and fit it
up to suit myself. 13ut it is a good
thing we are not all alike or there
would be little expansion or pro-
gress in this world.
Speaking of houses reminds me
of the modern way of moving which
I heard about only recently. Neigh-
bours of ours are moving down to
Montreal. I imagined them having
an awful time packing and crating,
ready for the job. To my surprise
I learnt that the movers do it all
and unless they do the packing'
themselves they will not accept
responsibility for loss or breakage
in transit. It seemed so strange to
go ito a house, knowing the people
were moving out and see everything
still in place, except the curtains!

WATCHING AND PRAYING
IN GETHSEMANE
Mark 14:32-42
Golden. Text:—Watch ye and
pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
The spirit truly is ready, but the
flesh is weak. Mark 14:38.
"Gethsemane" will always be re-
membered as the place of great
agony' of Jesus. Here bore upon
Him the full realization of His
mission. It was not the prospect
of death that brought the bloody
ss: eat to`His'brow, but the bearing
of :'ie sins of men. In this hour
when He craved and needed human
sympathy most, his disciples fell
asleep- He asked them to watch
and pray, but three times He re-
turned to find them sleeping. Said
He, "The spirit truly is ready, but
the flesh is weak."
Teens knew the truth of that
sta.ement in His own experience.
At firq He prayed, °'O, My Father,
if it be possible, let this cup pass
from .\ re; nevertheless, not as I
will, but as Thou wilt" Here was
a human shrinking from the bitter
cup. The second time He prayed,
"O, My Father, if this cup may
not pass away from Me, except 1
drink it, Thy wild be done." Here
is exemplified the triumph of the
spirit over the flesh. At no time
was there rebellion to God's will,
but the flesh etas weak. Later,
angels ministered unto Him.
When Jesus faced this great
crisis, He prayed earnestly. He
gained strength for the trying
hours of the morrow. If we would
have poise amd cairn in life's strug-
gles, we must learn to pray until
we have found strength in God.
We cannot think of Gethsemane
without feeling a deep gratitude to
Jesus Christ Who suffered so for
us. He .alone is our Saviour,
"It was alone the Saviour prayed
In dark Gethsemane.
Alone He drained the bitter cup
And suffered there for me.
Chorus:
Alone, alone, Ise bore it all alone;
He gave Himself to save His own,
He suffered, bled, and died alone,
