(-'us man availeth much (James 5:16)• Re may ask what is rneant by "al- w(:ys to pray?" Is this an exag- gerated form of speech as we would say? Not when we realize that "prayer is the soul's sincere desire unuttered or expressed." "A judge which feared not God nor regarded man. He was utterly upprindpled, wish- in his own con- ceits, and he da rod even to admit it to himself (verse 4i. And before this. judge there carne a widow, poor and desolate. She could neither compel him to du her justice nor of- fer him a Lrihe. So she persisted in h, r coming until she -.worried hint tido avenging her of her adversary. it, gave judgment not after consid- ering the merits of the case but just Lecause he was annoyed by her per- sittence. Jesus, the Lord, now inL•r- pets this parable Ily contrasting the earthly judge and the widow with the judge of all the earth add his elect. The elect are not like the widow i., the eyes of the selfiih judge but are dear to God as the apple of his eye (Zec, 11:8). "Which cry day and night unto Ham—the cries of the oppressed en- ter into the ears of the Lord of Sa- baoth (Jas, 5, 4). It is not with the cries he bears long but with those that oppress His elect, He will at length interpose on behalf of his own. The reference of this parable is to the church in her widowed, oppres- sed condition during the present ab- sence of her Lord in the heavens. The church being widowed is expos- ed to oppression and persecution. The world is always at variance with the church and Satan, the adversary of the soul, is seeking at all times to hinder the manifestation of the life of God in every church member. In these circumstances prayer is the rhurch'i, proper recourse, and al- theugh Cod seems to turn a deaf ear to her she is to pray always and not to faint, assured she is dear to her Lord even when He seems to deny her. The strength of the parable lies in the unlikeness between the Judge of all the earth and the unjust earthiy judge—yet there is a ,seeming like- ness when God turns a deaf ear, as it were, to the prayers of His people. In affliction saints are at times im- patient of delayed answer to pray- ers and are tempted to cry out as did the disciples, "Carest thou not that we perish." "He will avenge them speedily"— Be will not leave them a moment longer in the fire of affliction than is needful. "but patience must have her perfect work." Nevertheless, when the Son of Man cometh shall he find faith upon the earth?" In the 24th chapter of Matthew we are told in the Lord's own words that the trials of faith will be very great but for the elect's sake those days ehail be shortened. When He comes again there will be the faithful to receive Hint Verses 9-14—The Pharisee an'il the Publican. Here is presented a vivid picture of the character and religion of the Pharisee. He, standing to pray as the custom of the Jew was (Mark X 125) names one by one not his own Gins but those of other men. From these he thanks God he is free. Then looking around his eye tights on an- other also praying. With contempt in his heart he 'anew gives thanks that he hasn't to stand afar off, with down -cast eyes, heating on his breast in, as it were, an agony of remorse like yonder publican. There is no humility in such a prayer thougn freedom from the sins he mentioned was just reuse for humble gratitude. He next congratulates himself on his strict adherence to the law of Moses and his ,hn„rvance of more than the bare requirement of ane fast. day. He Paste twice a week end give tithes of all he possessed. Ile seems to have had no sense of sin or need of growth in grace.

WORLD MISSIONS1 1 Lesson Pns•'ag,'—Matt. 28 : 18-20, v Islam Weakening in Persia With news corning from Africa of r tie• spread of Islam in many parts of the PresbC1,•rien mission territory, and with daily press reports of the irrreasing power of the Turk and his in' istence of Mohammedanism in con- quered lands, it is comforting to re- fit ivo word of a different sort from Persia. At 'Teheran the school girls hive lately been telling their teach- er "Yes, we pray, and we believe Cud answers our prayers. But we know that there are many things in L 1:,m which need to he changed, and we can see that Muhammed does not mean as 'raw+ to us as Christ does to you. Won't you pray that we see the true way?" Public prayer—which a few years nee was a common sight at noon and a: -unset in nrrn Persian town --is now Lor,•71) g a thing of the past. In- deed. it is rn much a thing of the past that Mi« Charlotte E. Young, one of the missionaries engaged in educational :'ink in Teheran, re- marks that ane rarely sees a Moslem preying in public nowadays. Miss Young relates an incident which oc- curred a short time ago when she and a companion stopped in the bazaar to buy some cloth. It was the Moham- medan's evening hour of prayer, and they found the proprietor on his knees, "bobbing back and forth in a most reverent fashion." They didn't speRk to him, but began bargain- ing with the young boy clerk. The Persian custom is to try to sell the desired object for twice its actual value, so the missionary began the tedious but necessary haggling to se- cure the cloth at its approximate worth. Soon the bargaining became Leo much for the praying merchant. He stopped in the middle of his pray- er and listened. Then springing to his feet, he entered the discussion till the sale teas effected. When his cue - trinities had made their purchase and steeled to leave his shop, he sank to his knees again and continued his de- votions. This incident would have been impn•-:able a few years ago, Miss Young says, for then not only would the man hove reined to interrupt his prayers, hut probably his boy alsc wont( have refused to sell any- thing at that hour.

In July last ra--,rts appeared In the press ul un uutbreeit of Army Worms in two or three counties of the Province, and that the insects were beginning to do damage to -some of The held crops. These sections were visited by representatives of the Dominion and Provincial Entomo- logical departments, and it was dis- covered that the insect was not the Array Worm but a common cut -worm known as the Spotted Cut -worm. In order that this pest may be recognized and controlled should it appear next season, the following in- torrnatlon Is given: Life History. The spotted cut-wo'ru winters over lo the grouod as a small brown or blackish have from 1/a to about % lir au Inch In length.

They will then pupate in the ground and the routes will emerge in September and will lay their eggs throughout any weedy places.

They fly around only at night or late in the eveuing. The foil grown cut -worms or larvae are about 11 inches long, stout, smooth and of a brownish or often blackish color with several black spots on the back, most conspicuous towards the rear end. There is a whitish or light colored line running along each side just below the brown color of the back. The head is brown. This insect can readily be brought under control by the use of poison. How t0 Control the Attack. In the evening about sunset scat- ter thinly, as if sowing seed grain, the following poison halt wherever the 'cut -worms are present, and also clung the margin of crops nearly that are to be protected: Bran, 25 lbs. Earle green (or white arsenic). 1 lb. Molasses, t/e gut Lemons or oranges, 2 fruits. •)Vater, about 2 gala. Mix the bran and the poison very thoroughly in a tub or any large receptacle, using either the hands or a dung fork for the purpose. Pour the molasses into the water, run the lemons or orange through a meat chopper, and throw both the juice and. the pulp into the water. Then stir this thoroughly. Next pour the liquid over the poison bran and mix so thoroughly that It will fall through the fingers readily. The above amount is sufficient for one acre. Beep Live Stock Out of Reach. Take precautions that no stock gets access to the mixture before it is applied, and oven after applying it is wise to keep the stock out 8t the field for roue or Ove days, though there is no much danger of their be- ing poisoned if the above directions are followed carefully.—L. Caesar, O. A. College, -Guelph, Salt the Fleas. The best means of controlling fleas In most instances Is very simple. Fleas usually originate to the base- ment of the house, or In some covered place such as woodsheds and stables, to which hogs, dog's, or other such animals have access. The remedy is to give the basement, shed, or other breeding place a thorough 'leaning, burn the litter, and then sprinkle the floor or ground in the building or shed with common salt. The salt should be sprinkled thickly enough almost to cover the ®round and should then be wet down with water. It should not be wet sufficiently to cause it to run, however. If there are about the place any houses, cribs, or the like built on piles so that hogs and other animals cano under them, salt should be applit� there. Generally .speaking, it 1s fairly eaay to determine, where the fleas orig- inate, and It is usually such a place as can be reached 4)y the salt treat. ment. It may be necessary to repeat the 'operation two or three ,times at about three-day intervals. Fewer Cattle Shipped. A total of 21,530 head of cattle Were shipped from the port of Mont- real during the past season of navi- gation, as compared with 31,217 head for the season 1921; a decrease of 9,687 head. Of the above total shipped In 1922 there were 7,18E head from the United States, so that the total number of Canadian cattle that went forward to the British markets from, this point was only 13,915 head, There was no export business done in abeep during the past season, while during the pro- ceeding year shipments amounted to 4,064 head. It is surprising how far the table scraps and scattered grain will go to- ward maintaining the hens. there Is little excuse for any one using a grade or scrub bull when It is so easy to secure a pure-bred. a Keep feeding the hens or they'll stop laying.
