dawn -#the call of a little ehild Of-
ferus crossed the raging waters, and
found a child en the other side. Lift-
ing elnim easily be started back, but
the child's weight; increased almost un-
bearably, until Offerus feared they
would both be lost.
"Child, whoare you?" he cried. "I
seem to bear the whole world on my
shoulders!'"
"You !bear one," answered the child,
"who .bears the whole world on His
heart!"
And as the Child spoke, the waters
grew still, and Offerus came easily to
shore. Then the giant fell on his
knees. The Child gave him a new
name, Christopher, because he had
borne the Christ on his shoulders.
"Never leave a call unanswered,"
sand the Child, "arid knowthat when
you carry a traveller or a pilgrim, you
will always carry Me."
When Offerus, now Christopher,
raised his eyes, the Child was gone,
and the daily round was before him,
but the world around him had never
seemed so beautiful. When 'he fully
understood Whom he had carried, his
whole soul was poured forth in a pas-
sion of joy. Outwardly, he seemed
to all the same old ferryman, but in-
wardly all was changed. Tired pil-
grims marvelled at his gentleness.
For to Christopher every traveller
whom he bore had the face of the
Holy Child.
Nowadays there are calls comhng to
us from distances many times great-
er than the width of St. Christopher's
river. And answering these calls has
become an increasingly complicated
business. 'But for those of us who
have also seen the vision and heard
the high call, "By love, serve," the
task is no less truly a holy and conse-
crated one because of its infinite var-
iety.

SES SARGON
Former +Goveai Clifford Walker,
of Georgia, twice honored with the
highest office the people of his State
could give hires ie prominent among
the thousands of . well known men and
women throughout America who have
publicly expressed their gratitude for
benefits they have obtained from the
use of Sargon. He recently said:
"Not being stalwart in physical
strength, it has been my eus.tom for
several years to recoup my physical
energies at each change of season
with some tonic. Owing to Close eon-
finement in my office, and rather • se-
dentary habits of life my physical
condition was stitch that I decided to
take a course of treatment at Battle
Creek. During recent years, in fact,
1 have been compelled to resort al-
most continually to laxatives and
other special hygienic measures to
maintain health.
"This season a friend of mine sug-
gested Sargon. I was convinced from
literature which I read that it was a
scientifically prepared product and
decided to try it.
"Almost from the start its invigor-
ating effects were noticeable. I seem-
ed more alert, my appetite improved,
my capacity for work was increased
and I was conscious of a feeling of
general well-being. I have gotten by
the summer and am now entering the
fall season with more energy and in
better physical tone than I have ex-
perienced in many years.
"From my owe experience I am
convinced that Sargon contains cer-
tain therapeutic agents which are
highly valuable wherever a tonic im-
pression is required, and also for their
influence upon the appetite and diges-
tion. From its effects in my case I
cheerfully recommend it as a tonic
and corrective worthy the trial of all
tired business men."
Sargon may be obtained in Seaforth
from Charles Aberhart.

WORLD MISSIONS
Answering the Call.
Evelyn Charles
Long ago there lived a boy named
Offerus who, on account of his big-
ness and strength, was the pride of
his parents. Even before he grew up
he was a giant and, because he was
ignorant and badly brought up, he
was a boaster and bully. But he had
one splendid desire in his heart. He
wanted to serve a master who would
be the strongest person in the world.
First, he became a soldier of a
king who was reputed to fear no one.
Offerus fought iii many victeri•ous
battles and was very happy, thinking
that his king was the strongest man
in the world. But one day a bard
sang of a noble prince and his strug-
gle with the devil. The king and all
his knights trembled, turned pale, and
made the sign of the cross. In aston-
ishment, Offerus asked the reason and
learned that the king was ?fraid of
the devil. Instantly Offerus hastened
away to offer his services :o a new
master.
The devil was pleased to take the
young giant for a servant, but a ter-
rible time began for poor Offerus. The
devil forced him to use his strength
for mean and cowardly actions, and
though he hated to do them, there
seemed little chance of escape from
this strong master.
S. S. LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 30
Lesson Topic—Zacchaeus The Pub-
lican.
Lesson Passage—Luke 19:1-10.
Golden Text—Luke 19:10.
A whole paragraph is devoted to
the delineation of this one man's life,
while so many great characters are
hardly touched upon in the Scriptures.
Zaachaeus sought to see Jesus
through natural curiosity; He sought
only to see the Man, but in the end
he saw the Saviour; he desired to see
a wonder and in the end he was made
into a wonder himself. Zacchaeus
would never have been chief among
the Publicans, and been rich, if he
had succumbed to difficulties. His
character was brought out by opposi-
tion. Whatever a man's disadvantage
may be he can see Jesus Christ if
be so determine in his heart.
Jesus Christ looked, saw and said:
Zacchaeus "made haste and came
down, and received him joyfully." And
Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the
Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my
goods I give to the poor; and if I
have taken anything fram any man
by false accusation, I restore him four
fold." Zacchaeus would never have
known himself if he had not first
known Jesus Christ. The poor and
the wronged alike feel the blessed in-
fluence of this man's renewal. It is
a noticeable combination of liberality
and justice. There was no long pro-
bation of penitence and trial. At once
Jesus said: "This day is salvation,
come to this house, for so much as hs
• also is a son of Abraham! For the
Son of Man is come to seek and to
save that which was lost." We are
in these words of Jesus reminded
what he, the Redeemer, came into the
world for. It is, indeed, a myster-
ious thing, that the Son of God stood
by till man had lost himself and then
came at cost of painful guests, to
seek and save him. Here is the gas -
and took trier clown town. The "bee"
was of a well bream make, vintage
of about 1925, and somewhat the
worse of wear.. , The sle.iver, `who held

ploy him, es well as all who know
him, and is recognized as a "comer."
It does not require the gift of pro-
phe'cy to predict where he will be as
compared with some of the young
swells who roll down town in high-
priced cans that are not half paid for.
The Hit Dog Howls.
When a man gets restive under
truth it is a pretty good sign that
some of it is getting under his hide.
We heath of a party the other day
who went to a preacher and told him
he was creating suspicion and distrust
between the men of his congregation
and their 'wives by his pointed re-
marks on social evil, and at the very
time this old villain was keeping a
mistress at a downtpwn hotel. You
can always tell which one is hit when
you throw a stone into a crowd of
dogs. Honest men do not squirm when
thieves are called by their right name,
nor decent people become scandalized
when swindlers are taken by the
throat and brought to law.
'ea /lad had at his disposal the res-
ources of modern science we have no
doubt that Copernicus would have left
us as complete and unchallengeable a
system as that contained in the first
chapter of Genesis, though perhaps
somewhat at variance with it. Next
on the list is Galileo Gables, born at
Pisa in 145+64. He invented the tele-
scope with which he discovered that
the surface of the moon had an un-
even appearance, and he was able to
trace the courses of the planets. He
improved the thermometer and noted
that a pendulum could be used as a
measure of time. In a word he ampli-
fied the work of Copernicus, and nar-
rowly escaped with his life by pro-
testing •that the charges that his
teachings were unseriptural were in
themselves absurd.
Johann Kepler was his conte:npar-
ary. He is credited with being the
father of modern astronomy, He im-
proved the teleseope and reduced the
theory of it to true principles. He
discovered that the planets do not
revolve in circles but in ellipses His
theories were worked out geometri-
cally and have been the bases of all
subsequent -studies in this department
of science. Newton discovered the law
by which thy. planets move round the
sun and which govern the movement
of all falling bodies. It is the law of
gravity. Until Einstein came no fur-
ther contribution of the first magni-
tude to astronomy was made. His two
main theories, relativity and constant
light, velocity, are said to prove the
impossibility of defining absolute mo-
tion, which we must admit is rather
a cloudy bit of writing. One of the dif-
ficulties of the Einstein theory is
that comparatiarely few people under-
stand it and those who do understand
it almost unanimously refrain from
being the less enlightened on the sub-
ject. Into one of these classes we na-
turally fall.
UNIVERSES CREATED BY EIGHT
GENIUSES
George Bernard Shaw said the other
day that there were only eight mak-
ers of the universe in the history of
mankind, omitting, for purposes of
brevity no doubt, God as the original
maker. One advantage of the list is
that it is short enough to enable peo-
ple to remember it, The chief disad-
vantage is that it is made up chiefly
of foreign names, including a couple
of Greeks and two Germans. British
heroes are conspicuously e absent and
one of them, Charles Darwin, unjusti-
fiably so, in our opinion. For nothing
can be more true than that the theory
of evolution has given us a new uni-
verse, or rather a new conception of
the universe, to a greater extent per-
haps than the work of any others on
Shaw's list except perhaps Copernicus
and Newton. A reader has asked for
come information about the supreme
geniuses named by Shaw, and to what
extent they changed the world that
had existed before their day or rather
haw they had changed the thought of
.heir times and those that followed.
In attempting to do so we may say
that perhaps none of them gage us
much more than a theory, fpr if
Einstein's theories can alter or even
destroy the theories of Newton, as
in some respects it is said that they
do, nothing is to prevent someone fol-
lowing Eirsetein and showing his fal-
lacies, thus leaving him much in the
position of Ptolemy after Copernicus
had announced his astronomical the-
ories.
One thing in common all these men
had—fa concern not so much with the
world about them or the inner world,
whichis the moat important of all,
but the world outside this earth. Be-
fore the time of Pythagoras who was
a Greek, born about 530 B.C., the uni-
versal idea of the earth was the same
as that field today by Mr. Voliva of
When things were at their darkest,
the two suddenly came upon a way-
side cross on which hung an image of
the Christ. Turning to the devil Of-
ferus was amazed to see him shrink pion City, namely, that the earth was
to half his usual size. "I fear Christ, gat` and that the stars were stuck in
cried the devil, "He is Master of the
world. Let us fly!"
Offerus wrenched himself free, and
took refuge at the foot of the cross.
Looking up at the face above him, he
learned his. first lesson of love. He
determined to search until he found
the Christ. He met with many dis-
appointments, but at last a saintly old
man guided him aright.
"My son," he said, "there are many
ways of serving the Christ. Some men
do it by prayer and praise, some by
their brains, and some' by their hands.
'Each must fulfil the Master's com-
mand, "By love, serve!"
The old man taught Offerus many
things, and finally set him by the side
of a river to carry pilgrims across.
Year after year found Offerus beside
his But, always ready for his task.
But when he was an old man came the
great day of his life. It was a wild
and stormy night and a call came at
Different from
every other Oats
THE TILTING TOWER
STRAIGHTENING UP!
How long will the Leaning Tower
of Pisa .continue to deserve its name?
This question has been asked ever
since a commission, appointed by Sig-
nor Mussolini to go into the question
of the tower's safety, reported the
other day. According to their meas-
urements, the top of the tower id 14
feet out of the true vertical line.
Now, when measurements were first
taken, 100 years ago or so, by two
British experts, the "tilt" of the
tower was fifteen and a half feet. In
1910 further measurements were tak-
en, and it was announced that the
tower was sixteen and a half feet off
the straight,
Assum7ng the measurements to be
oorrect, the Leaning ToWer new leans
tun and a half feet less than it did
twenty years ago. It is straightening
up.
However, the Italian government is
alive to the importance of preserving
the tilt of the tower. The subsoil on
which the tower sands is to be treat-
ed with injections which, it is ex-
pected, will make the building "stay
put."
Why the tower .originally departed
from the straight is a mystery. It is
fairly certain that nothing of the sort
was intended by the architects. but
the tower took a long time to build --
176 years—and something probably
went wrong during this period.
some solid body about 15. or perhaps
40 miles from the earth's surface.
eythagoras was the first to adva::,e
the theory that the world was round.
On this theory he erected a system
of astronomy which held sway for
some hundreds of years. Its funda-
mental error lies in the fact that the
planet on which we reside is :rot the
centre of the universe. Pythagoras
is best known as the originator of
the belief that at death the soul of
one human being passes into another
or into an animal. This idea is now
pretty well shot.
Aristotle was a great systematizer
of knowledge, and divided philosophy
into various special studies. He is
memorable because he was the first
of all philosophers to try to acquire
his knowledge +by an actual first hand
examination of the things about him.
He opened animals to note what was
proceeding inside them. He adumbrat-
ed the theory of evolution, and formu-
lated the rules of logic. For 15 cen-
turies after Aristotle there was hard-
ly any addition to scientific knowl-
edge. Tame religious speculations
took its place. Under the rule of the
church free inquiry was at an end. It
was assumed that man knew all God
intended him to know. Then came
Nicholaus Copernicus a Pole, toward
the end of the 15th century. He made
the discorvery that the sun was the
centre of the system of Which the
earth was no more than a planet like
Mars and Venus and that all revolved
round the sun. The only reason why
Copernicus was not burnt at the stake
for these insolent imaginings was that
he dedieated his great work to the
reigning Pope who, we suppose, did
not read it. ,But a hundred years
later Giordano Bruno was put to death
because he repeated' son* of the
things that Copernicus had already
said.

Keep Your Nose Out.
An over -inquisitive man passing
behind a circus tent noticed a pro-
jection against the canvas and put
forth his hand to feel it. It was the
business end of a mule and the cor-
oner's jury returned a verdict of "De-
ceased came to his death by prying
into what did not concern him." There
are a great many people who can't
keep their noses out of their neigh-
bor's business. No amount of expos-
tulating or warning seems to have
any effect upon these harpies, from
whom nothing from the merest trifle
to the weightiest business matter is
sacred. They can tell you more about
your own business than yon know
yourself, and are always ready to let
you know all the neighbors think and
say about you and your business. The
wise man will find in his own affairs
enough to engross his attention with-
out tendering his neighbor unsolicited
advice. If your friend is wise he does
not need it. If he is a fool he won't
follow it. The man who minds his
own business is respected in the com-
munity, but as Solomon says, "Every

Winter Feed Situation.
There will be many barns without
the usual supply of feed this coming
winter. In the draught areas the
cows are- en fall winter rations. The
amount of feed that will be available
for winter feeding is being reduced
by just this much. Onesuggestion
to meet the situation is that some
herd culling will be in order. In
most herds of ten or twelve cows
there are two to four cows that are
definitely known to be lower producers
than their stable mates. If these
were to be sold it would reduce the
consumption of feed from 20 to 40
per cent. while the reduction in pro-
duction would be only from 10 to 20
per cent. Another angle to the cull-
ing suggested is that the marketing
of a lot of culls to the butcher would
tend to reduce the surplus of dairy
products that is exerting such a de-
pressing effect on the market.

ery home -cook who attempts a
Christmas cake.
Home -cooks who fear that they may
burn their cakes resort to the method
of first steaming the cake, then dry-
ing it out in the oven, but after try-
ing both methods for one type of cake
—and comparing the finished product
we have decided that the long -baking
method produces the nicer cake. The
steaming method will produce a cake
that is moist, but is, in our opinion,
inclined to be "pulling -y."
The oven for the cake should be
slow. If the cake is a large ore and
the batter is rich—the oven should be
250 to 300 degrees F. For a smaller
cake, or for one less rich, 275 to 325
degrees F. will be right.
If your oven has a tendency to burn
foods on the bottom, place the cake
tin on a second pan in which a little
sand or kitchen salt has been spread.
When eake is baked, remove it from
the oven, invert on a wire cake cooler
and allow it to partially cool in the
tin. Then lift off the tin and, if de-
sired, remove the paper. On rich
cakes, one layer of paper is frequent-
ly allowed to remain -until the cake
is to be frosted, or cut, but it is bet-
ter to remove the paper from cakes••
in which only a moderate amount of
shortening has been used—as the
paper will have a tendency to stick.

If your .Christmas cake recipe Calls
for candied cherries or pineapple, and
you have not these ingredients on -
hand, a home made product may he
produced from canned cherries or
pineapple. Draip the fruit from the,
syrup, add nvofe sugar to the syrup,
cook until fairly thick,, then add the
fruit and continue cooking until very
thick and most of the syrup has cook-
ed into the fruit. Then spread on
plates to partially dry. Store in
glass jars. If the canned, cherries:
are not a bright red color, add a lit-
tle red food coloring to the syrup.
We frequently' use thick pineapple
jam instead of candied pineapple.
