Golden Text: â€" I am the liglit of the world: ho that rnllowcth Mo hhall not walk in the darkness, but Bhall have tlic lipht of life. John 8: 12. The Le»*on In Iti Setting Time. â€" A\] the events in this lesson occurred during the week of October 11 â€" 18. .\.D 29. Place. â€" All the events in this les- son took place in the city of .leru- salcm. A);ain therefore Jesus sp:ike unto them, snyinfj, I am the light of the world: he that followeth .Me shall not walk in the darkne.s.s, but shall have the light of life. In these nine verses we have a declarative statement hy Christ, a repudiation of that statement by the Pharisees who heard Him, and a defense of the truthfulncs-s of His words by the Lord Him.sclf. Jcau.s therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If ye abide in My word, then are ye truly my disciples. "Surrender of mind, heart, and will to the power of Chri.st's doctrine must be complete and en- during. There must bo more than a mere recognition of the striking personality of Jesus. There mu.st be the reception of His word into conscience and heart." And ye shall know the truth, und the truth shall make you free: â€" Later on, the night before His death, Jesus, in praying to the Father, again refers to the word of God as truth (John 17: 17â€"1!)). If men accept the truth which Christ teaches, that i.s, the truth about God, about sin, about Satan, about eternal life, about holincs.s. about love, men will be free from the power of Satan who deccive.s, from the bondage of fear, which is due to ignorance, from the power of dark- ness, from sin itself. And as ho passed by, he- saw a man blind from his birth. Illindncss from birth is ;i <>ondilioii which no man could change, especially no man could over open his own eyes. All the beauty of life is shut out from the world of a man born blind. An! His disciples asked hitn. say- ing. Rabbi, who sinned, this man. or hi.H parents, that bo should be born blind''â€" That the man's blindness was due to sin the disciples assum- ed: the (lue.stion was. Wa.s the sin committed by the man so afflicted, or by his parents'' In one way the <|Ue8tion seems foolish, for the man was born blind, before be ever could have sinned. riirthermore. the question is ba.^oo nn ii l.il.^e nssumpl- tion N'ot all suffering or physical handicaps are the consc(|uences of sin in some immediate ancestor. Parents of most devout faith have been known to have children of im- Iwcilic tendencies, while there are parents who have given birth to children while living in scandalous sin, whoHe children have lived for years without any physical suffer ing. Ultimately, of course, all suffering results from the fallen Condition of the human race. Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his pare' ts: but that the works of God should be made manifest in biin. "The Lord deals only with the speci:il case; and that only so far as it is an occasion for notion and not a subject for specu- lation. Wc must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night Cometh, when no man can work: â€" "We cannot think it strange that Jesus should connect the man's blindness with his own appearance on earth, born blind in order that Jesus might give him sight." When I am in the world, 1 ana the light of the world. â€" ''There is special reference here to Christ's giving light both to the man's eyes and to his soul." When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay. â€" "A medicinal value was attributed to saliva, above all, for disorders of the eyes. (See also Mark 7: ."?«; 8: 2.1). Neither are we without examples of a medicinal of clay. Still we must not suppose that, besides his divine power, the Lord also used natural remedies, or that these were more than conduc- tors, not in themselves needful; for other blind eyes he opened without employing any such means (Matt. 20: ."50- ;t4). And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by in- terpretation. Sent). Ho went away therefore, and washed, and came .seeing. â€"The pool of Siloam wa.-^ 50 [gossip Br DOROTHY There was a rather funny reaction to an Interview that Kdward G. Ilo- biiison gave a reporter for an Italian iiewspaiHii sonic time ago. Ho praised the work of Krank Capra, the director, who is Italian by birth, saying that Capni refused to direct gangster films. He remarked that he thought It was because Capra did not want to make pictures which showed his own peo- ple In a bad light. When the storm burst It hit, not Capra, but Robinson. Seems the Italians thought gangsters were something like senators â€" an American instltubion of which the Americans were proud! The long discussion over which ac- tress would play the mother role In ''Stella Dallas" has been settled at last. It goes to Barbara Stanwyck, who does seem a bit young for It, but of course, there's always the make-up. An any- way, the part is to be rewritten to tit her. At the moment the "Gone With the Wind" pursuit of a heroine Is stilt rag- ing, but no doubt that will be settled In the same way^- Bomo attractive, dependable actress to the Head of Trust Enjoys Holiday in Sun L.

The ncighbor.s therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beg.orar, said: I.s not this he that .sat and begged'.' Others said: It is he: Others said: No, but he is like him. He said: I am he. â€" Here we have the first words from the man who was blind, "I am he." His testi- mony must be received. He knew who he was. They said theiefoie unto him. How then were thine eyes opened? The question i.s perfectly natural. It does not intimate any unbelief or skepticism, but a natural iniiuisi- tiveness. Anyone v.ould ask this (|iJCstion. Ho answered, The iiiiiii that is called Jesus made (lay. and anoint- ed mine eyes, and said unto me: Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight. â€" The report of the blind man is vivid, accurate, clear, and ought to be convincing. There arc no adornments here. It is a simple statement of fact. Ho relates what happened, but actually how (Jhrist opened his eyes, he does not know, and no one else does. We do not understand miracles: we believe them.

Question: â€" "A farmer has just taken over a greenhouse which con- tains 25 tons earth prepared for to mato plant growing five years ago, but never used. This soil has been tested, is natural in reaction, con- tains a fair amount of nitrate, but is low in phosphoric acid and potash.

Answer:â€" The addition ot O-IJ-IO or 0-12-15 fertilizer at the rate of 25 lbs. per 1000 st|uaru feet would be e(iuivalenl to a little over 1000 lb.s. per acre. This is a fair appli- cation for outdoor use, but 1 would be of the opinion that this could be almost doubled for Indoor purposes such as you r(!conimend. You do not say whether or not the 25 tons of c'uith liavo been kejit in a dry place and ruin ond snow have been prevented from falling on them. Of course, 11' this soil has been kepi absolutely dry und no nioistuie has been added to it. microscopic life will he at a low ebb in it on nccount of lack of moisture. In this case, it might take the soil a short time to come back to its normal form. 1 believe the treatments you suggest would put it in fair siinpe for to- mato plant growing. 2. Question:â€" "I wish some infor- mation regarding the building up of land which is in poor condition. I have 45 acres fall plowing on which I would like to sow (wts und seed ilowii with 5 Ihs. of Timoily :ind '• II). of Red Clover, and was wonder- ing if lime and .salt would be a good thing to put on the land and if so, how much per acre'.' There is also 50 acres that I was thinking of summer fallowing and putting in Full Wheat and the same mixture of grass seed. Would also like to know if lime and salt would be a good thing to put on for potatoes on land in good comlition." â€" M. G., Oxford. Answer: â€" Answering your <iues- tion regarding treatment of 45 acres of fall plowed land on which you inirpose sowing oats und which land ! understand is in poor condi,tion. I wish to say that use of lime und salt cannot be recommended. With- I'Ut testing the soil, it is impossible for me to know whether the soil needs lime or not. If it is acid In reaction (or sour) lime will help. If it is alkaline or neutral, (lie addition of lime will do no good whatever. The nildilion of salt merely hastens the robbing of the soil of its fertil- ity. The sodium of the salt dis- places the potassium of the soil, hence benefit for a crop or two can be seen, but in general, the use of salt on the land corresponds to the use of the whip on the team. Most often more oats fed to the team give better results in labour which can bo obtained from them, similar- ly, the addition of plant-food to the soil in the shape of manure or fcrtilirer, or both, will give much better and more lusting results than the use of salt.
