THE COMING OF "THE SON OF MAN," 12: 47, 48, I. A CERTAIN RICH MAN, 12: 16-21. V. 16. This story is not so much a parable as an illustration, but an il- lustration of what? There are two morals which might be drawn from it, and it is not clear which is prim- arily intended. First, the story illus- trates the extreme uncertainty of hu- man life; man who "knows not what a day may bring forth" is always making plans for the future; indeed some men so "live in the future" as we say, that they never enjoy today. Let us make the most and make the best of life while we have it, for we do not know how long it will be ours But while this might be the chief meaning of the story it is not prob- ably so. Rather, it seems we ars given a picture of an entirely selfish and unspiritually minded man. He has put together enough wealth to last his own life-time, and that is all he cares about. For the future he intends to "have a good time." His idea of a good time is a life of eating, drinking and merry-making. His ideal of life, therefore, is that of one long, easy, unadventurous and selfish holi- day. He had found no happiness in his work as a piece of human service; his work was a bore, and his life be- gins where his work ended. It has often been noted, in modern times, that men who make money very quickly and then retire to enjoy them- velves, rarely live to a full age. A life that "1as no real. unselfish intefest to feed .: is apt to flicker out. Tet a man, then, find his true life and hap- piness in faithfully and hopefully per- forming each day's task as it comes. . 19. "Coul" does not mean here the higher and spiritual part of our na- ture, but rather the "self." V. 20. The man has had no real love for anybody in his heart, The wealth that he has so laboriously accumula:- ed is useless to him, and so far as he is concerned it all goes for nothing. II. WATCHFULNESS, 12: 41-46. The subject of this parable as of that which precedes it is "watchful- ness" as a duty. Peter here asks whether the duty devolves upon every- body or only upon the disciples. The answer is that it devolves in a special way upon the disciples, for they arc "stewards of the mysteries of God," and it is their task to "feed my sheep." It seems that the Church of later years understood this parable to apply to ministers and church offi- cials. As the expectation of tne im- mediate second coming of Christ be- gan to fade away, and he seemed to "delay" (v. 45), there was a tendency for the church leaders both to grow lazy and self-indulgent, and also to "lord it over" their congregations. The parable is used as a warring to them. "Temperance is not confined to the use or non-use of ardent spirits. It operates in every sphere of life. The lavishing upon self of the gifts of God is intemperance of the highest order. Therefore let us not be drunk with poods, wherein is exce but strive to be filled with the Spirit." III. THE COMING OF "THE SON Ov MAN," 12: 47, 48. When we speak of the duty of watchfulness, we are generally think- at crisis in our own lives or in e life of the world is, or ma a coming of the Son of man if we will let him come to us extre wea) and are, Port reat things from God. » men is always coming to us, if we are watchful. If this, does not exhaust the meaning of the passage, it is at least a truth we can clearly grasp. --l PAVLOVA DEAD (January 31, 1885--January 23, 1931) (From Poetry) Pavlova, will you dance no more?

In order to be effective all control measures must be taken before the injury or disease commencs to show on the plant. The growing leaves and fruit must be protected as soon as possible after they are formed. The first ap- plication should be made when the leat buds are in the "green-tip" or "mouse-ear" stage of development. The second spraying or dusting is applied when the flower buds are showing pink and are separating from the clusters, and the third is given when the petals have mastly fallen. From ten to fourteen days | fhen it is mecessary to protect the ' developing fruit during periods of prolonged wet weather.

Windows Very often do we not find that houses express .the personalities of the peopl living within its walls? This question can best be answered by asking another. Did you ever no- tice the different look a house puts on when another owner or tenant dwells within? Perhaps you have had occasion to go back to your old home after a long absence. The house is occupied by strangers and as you look over the old familiar rooms somehow they are familiar no longer. It seems so different one might almost think the plan of the house had been changed. Sometimes, even though it were our own loved he "e, we must admit the change is for the better. The furni- ture may hs more suited to the differ- ent rooms, some of which are newly painted and pzpered. A window may be draped in a manner unthought of by you and be much more artistic, so that thinking magnanimously, we are glad the o.d place has blossomed out. Then again it may be everything has deteriorated. The walls are smoked up, the once carefully kept floors are scratched ~ncC dull and the rooms cold and uninviting. So each hcuss reflects unconscious- ly the personalities within, The win- dows smile their welcome or look dingy and forbidding: and it doesn't matter if the home is large and com- modious or small and commonplace, those windows with curtains plain or gay and silky, sparkle and shine, tell- :ing of the cheery housewifely care within or are dull and uninteresting. The windows are the eyes of the home, And the personalities within that home mirror from the human eye the window of th: soul. look expresses the bright personality within and gives glimpses of thought and purpose.

Twilight Hour Story -- About Wee Chickies and Other Little Friends Chapter 14 Do you remember about the lovely black and gold butterfly Mamma Lady T Don't PuT The cheerful | found"nearly frozen on the porch two mornings ago? stayed on the window very quiet in its little corner. It didn't seem to be dead, but it wasn'. very much alive either. So she just let it sit there because it looked so pretty. But when she came down this morning to get breakfast it was on the curtain with its wings tightly folded together. Good old Mr. Sun had kept on shining on its cold stiff little feet and dainty wing8 to, make it well as fast as he could. But today, when Mamma Lady touched it and said "Good morning" i really answered her and sald "Good morning" by spreading its delicate wings out an back, out and back, out and back, slowly and gracefully. All at once it fluttered its wings and flew onto a plant in the window, then be- fore Mamma Lady knew what it was doing it flew over onto her shoulder and stayed there while she got break- fast. I won"er if it was asking for some breakfast. It had to ask in a different way because it couldn't talk. It couldn't say "meow," like the kitty cats, or "peep, peep," like the chicks or ",Bow-wow" like Rover, or "I'd like some breakfast, Mamma, please," like little girls and boys can. However, Mamma Lady was sure it was asking for some breakfast. She looked at it very closely, but she could not see that it had a mouth. It had two big eyes alright, but she wondered how it could eat, what to feed it, for two long days since she found it was a long time, and it didn't have the yel- low of the egg in its tummy, like the wee chicks had at first, either, Then Mamma Lady thought she of- ten used to see these dear little but- terflies in the summer on lovely flow- ers that have honey away inside the blossom, but she never noticed how they got the honey out. Do you think, perhaps, if it liked honey it would like sugar? Well, Mamma Lady got a pinch of sugar and put a dfop of water on it in a saucer on the window, then gently she lifted the butterfly off her ' shoulder, when it had its wings closed, and then she watched to see what it would do. I kncw you can never guess how it ate the sugared water. But it did drink it and it drank for a long | time too, for it was pretty thirsty. This is what it did: the eyes it had a little curled up whistle, the kind that when you blow in the end the curl flies out straight, only this little curl was so very small, | than a fine! ture of determining a rocket's capac- not any bigger around thread. Mamma Lady often noticed that curl on the butterflies, but she didn't know what it was for. Now as soon as it saw the water and sugar that little curl unfolded long and straight, It felt around for awhile with the point and then it dipped fit right into the middle of the sugar and water and kept it there for a long time. Do you know what it was do- ing?" It was sucking it up just 'like you do when you have an ice-cream seda and you drink up that good creamy juice through the straw. Af- ter it was through eating it grew pretty lively and started whirring its wings. Do you know what that is like? It means it stands still but makes its wings go so fast you can hardly see them. I wonder what it did that for- Just because it felt good, I suppose. Next Week--""The Chicks Again." rr ee March By Mary Carolyn Davies March is the month for such won- derful things!

No Check Is Good On A Hat, NONE of MY Money INA BANK WHERE THe CASHIER CEPS AT Well, all day long it Right in between | 'There may be too much uwogmacism regarding the proper methods of chick feeding and rearing. Given well hatched chicks from rood, vig- orous, '3°althy parents and almost any systém of feeding, where ordi-" inary common sense -is used, good results are likely to be cltained. In many instances there is too much time wasted in fussing with chicks. Feeding tests at the Central Ex- perimental Farm have indicated that equally good results can be obtain- ed where a good mash is fed in hop- pers kept constantly before. the chicks from the time they are ready to feed ---(about 48 hours)--as where regular feeding five or six times per day is | practised. In conjunction with the mash feed, of course, water, milk, fine grit and oyster shell and green feed are given. When the chicks are about ten days of age a light feed of | scratch grain is given daily. When | the chicks are a month to six weeks of age the chick mash is replaced by growing mash and when 'at about two months of age, a hopper of crush- (ed oats in addition to the growing | mash is kept before them at all times. This system cuts down great- ly the labor of attendance. See that the chicks have sufficieat heat to enable them to warm up any time they feel like it but avoid keep- ing the houses closed more than is necessary. Allow the chicks out on range as soon as weather permits. Prevent crowding in the brooder houses by stretching pieces of wire netting across the coimers and put in low roosts and encourage the chicks to use them as early as pos: sible, Separate the sexes and dispose of all cockerels that are not to be re- tained for breeders as soom as they can be satisfactorily marketod.
