Do you believe in hoodoos or do you think that being super- stitious about such things is sil- ly? Do you foster the idea that a hoodoo, or curse, cannot hurt you; ov do you contend that to . defy a hoodoo can be very dan- gerous? Let me put it another way, Would you, for instance, have .worn the Hope diamond? The stone that was stolen from a: Hindu temple idol and. is reputed to have brought tragedy to its owners and their friends for more than 200 years? Or would you have rejected the opportun- ity, believing it to be something which could wreak a dreadful 'vengeance? 4 1, personally, would never have touched that fabulously rare and precious stone; for I believe that there are stranger factors in this world of ours than many im- agine, and to cross swords with the supernatural is to cross swords with death! The Hope diamond murdered people; it left millionaires penni- ness as it went from one owner to another, leaving behind it a series of disasters. Men laughed at the idea of its being evil. They bought it because they flattered themselves that they were too big for it to touch them, and later cursed the day that they had ever set eyes on it. The Hope diamond was bought von, was said to be infected by some virulent and rare germ; he died suddenly, Very few of the natives had agreed to help, those who did paid for it with their lives, It may have been coinci- dence, as the sceptics say, but who are we to tell what is coin- * cidence and what is 'a fearful hoodoo? (14 There is a story that if ever a man filches what is the prop- erty of the Church he brings the eternal curse upon himself -and 'his family to come, for no , three generations will inherit-- father to eldest son and on to eldest grandson -- without a break. That curse has come true in- an extraordinary manner, In the Royal Family of Eng- land there was Henry VIII who broke up the monasteries, pil- laging their property and leav- ing the monks to wander penni- less about the country begging for bread. One after another Henry's three children came to the throne, but since none of them had any offspring the crown then passed fo James VI of Scotland. A similar type of curse goes through many families. . In 1916, I married, for the first time, the son of a famous fam- ily. Three generations before that they had incurred the se- vere displeasure of the Church. Nobody had, ever told me what actually happened; it was one of those things that they did not like to talk about (because I imagine it gave them the jitters).

Romans 10:4, A minister needs to sharpen his concept of the ministry .by frequently examining it in the light of Paul's precepts and ex- ample, Consider his farewell message to the Ephesian elders, (Acts 20:18-38.) He was humble, coveted no man's gold, risked his life for the Gospel and was diligent in preaching the full Gospel message in tenderness and love. In today's lesson Paul writes of ministerial support. At Cor- inth and Thessalonica he work- ed at tent making to support himself. He felt that to do other- wise in these particular situa- tions would hinder the Gospel of Christ. Nevertheless he clear- ly taught that "the Lord has or- dained that they which preach TIES TTL ARSED, Really Hot! When a heat wave occurs in Canada the temperature soars to the high nineties, and we of ten complain that the weatheg is "unbearably hot," But have you ever wondereti-what it must be like to live in a place where, throughout the summer months from May until September, the shade temperature keeps at 4 steady 116 degrees, with occa« Hara flights in August up fo 120? This spot is one of the hottest tracts of country in the world and lies between the river Indus and the mountains of the North- West Frontier of India. But it was at Azizia, Tripo during the summer of 1922, tha the highest-ever shade tempera= ture was registered. The mer- cury, according to generally ag cepted records, registered 136 degrees. Sceptical meteorolo- glsts in other countries sugges}. ed that some sunlight was al- lowed to fall on the bulb! America's hottest place is Death Valley, in lower Califor- nla, where it has sometimes been so hot that the rocks, when touched, have Dblistered the hand.

But am I really being silly and superstitious when I say em- . phatically that I would never have anything to do with the diamond? When the Koh-i-Noor diamond was given to Queen Victoria it came with a killer's reputation, Moguls had died wh®\ they wore it in their turbans, it was a stone which seemed to have hatred for men and kept a desperate death tryst with them. The envoy who brought it to the Queen told her that this was one of the most famous diamonds in the world . .. and that it would never harm a woman. Queen Victoria wore it in her crown and' enjoyed prosperity _ from its splendour. What did Ed- ward.VII do when he came to the throne? He listened to advisers who warned him about its strange power and ordered it to be re- set in the consort's crown, worn by Queen Alexandra. Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth at their coronations. : To-day it is set in the Queen Mother's crown. I am not the only one who is superstitious, ap- parently, a man of that family had raised his left hand in rage against him, he had vowed that the women of the family would bear eldest sons who, in turn, bore mark of that very hour, and the ability to kill with the left hand would be taken from them. In the generation which I knew, both my husband and his cousin (also an eldest son) had deformed left hands, which they could hardly use. And they were not the first to be so. afflicted. "Just an accident," said my husband brightly, "It does not bother me too much, anyway, and for myself I don't believe a word of it." > He was referring to the curse, of course. But I did believe in it--and still do. I would never dare a hoodoo, but would walk clear of it through life. I believe that peo- ple stung to agony can invoke evil. The Pharaohs had every right not to wish their tombs to be disturbed, and I think they took - true steps to ensure their safety in death. If men violated that security, then they in turn died.

This is especially true of hogs because they have no sweat glands -- which is why they wallow in the mud; they must keep cool. » * * This recognition has been bringing a dramatic change to the Southern farm scene this past summer, a change which apparently represents the be- ginning of a trend which could have implications of far-reach- ing economic significance. Old-timers at hog raising as .well as farmers just venturing for the first time into commer- cial hog production now bandy around such descriptive, even if somewhat facetious, terms as "pig parlor," "swine castle," "hog salon," "pig cafeteria." Basically, these comparatively luxurious quarters offer a way of growing hogs in confinement on concrete, so that the most modern management, labor-sav- two, three, or even four times a year. * * Lk The idea is to make it poss- ible, with a "parlor" or "salon," to bring feeder pigs to market weight every 90 days. Feeder pigs are placed in these "salons" when they weigh from 60 to 80 pounds. They never leave until they reach market weight -- 180 to 240 pounds, say. One of the big/problems of the hog business, of course, is the extreme seasonal variation in the volume of hogs marketed, writes Henry Losene in The 'Christian Science Monitor. Fre- quently slaughter is several times greater in midwinter than in midsummer. Actual equali- zation would hardly be desir- able, animal husbandry special- ists and economists alike con- cede. Yet they agree the indus- Cry would be much better off if the difference were not so great.

When f{t comes to cutting down the na- tion's cold rate, not one seems worth a sniffle. ) The main obstacle: Colds are caused by viruses, perhaps a dozen varieties of these elusive organisms, "Until a vaccine is prepared which combats all the cold viruses, more than 90 per cent of the nation's population will continue to have at least one cold each year. Last month, in Baltimore, Md, a young Johns Hopkins scientist, 34-year-old Winston H.

Have you made provision for his car expense? This is a big item. About 90% of his driv- ing is for the church. Have you thought of the many free meals which the minister's wife will serve in the course of a year? Most ministers' children are in- clined to gain' more than the average of education. They shouldn't be denied this oppor- tunity. The minister is not above temptation. Some have fallen for money and some for women. If a man's interest is in making money he should never enter the ministry. He is the confldant of many. He must not betray their trust. His personal and publie life must be above reproach. His example will carry more weight "than his words. No one should enter the ministry who has not expereienced the New Birth as taught by Jesus. (John 3). Theory is not sufficient. He can- not lead others to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour unless he knows the way himself. Great is the responsibility of the minis- ter. taken there. Masterpiece On The Wall In Sir Edmund Bacon's ances- tral home, flanked by the haughty canvases of Galnsbor- ough and Reynolds, hung a little painting long attributed to a minor Italian artist named Gio- vannl Francesco Caroto.
