Amid their ex- |clamations of wonder, the stil! | thirsty travellers drove off in haste On to Jacob's Well. {| This time I was in command | the situation. "We'll get water | trom Jacob's Well, at Sychar, where the woman of Samaria gave our {Saviour a drink. That well is deep |and pure, unpolluted by the care- | lessness of ignorant villagers." At {length we reached the spot, south | of Nablus, on the main road to Jeru- lsglem (that is why Jesus "must needs go through Samaria,"") and surrounded by the wall of a church, whiclk the Greeks have undertaken to bulld on the site' of a church erected over the well by the Cru- | faders. | It seemed as if we were doomed {to disappointment and continued | thirst, for the English-speaking {neophyte who met us at the gate, {said that the two monks were hold- | lug service in the chapel of the well, and would not be through for at ! least half an hour! Added to the craving for water that posse:sed us, was a promise earlier glade to my wife apd little girt that they should {drink from Jacob's 'well; so our re- gret was two-fold. At least, we would see the chapel and look upom the well-curb. So we entered the candle-ljghted crypt, where the two monks were intoning the service. Perhaps one of them rememberel me from a visit two weeks earlier, and the rather large '""backsheesh," that I had left; or--which is more gen- erous to suppose--he may have had compassion om the visitors from overseas; for, beckoning the lay reader to take his place with the | book, he quickly doffed his cassock, {and quietly proceeded to draw wat- er for us. Never before did I =o appreciate the blessed informality of a'Greek service as that day. -------- Sweet Water From a Deep Well. A copper pajl attached to a thin wire rope on a windless (no longer is the rope-worn marbie curb of the well used) was let down for a hun- dred teet--verily "the well is deep" ~--and brought up brimming wita crystal clear and sweetly cold wat- er. We drank and drank and drank, while: the priest jowered a tray of candles to show us depth and the walls of the well. As the lights in their vesse| rested on top of the water, a hundred feet down, they were still thirty feet from the bottom of the well. It was a great feat that Patriarch Jacob executed, four thousand years ago, when he dug this well. Ere we jeft chapel, the monk, sighting the r of the banknote in my hand, iavished upon us pictures and post- cards, and even a bottle of the sa. cred water. Possibly at greater length taan it has been told to illustrate the one simple central PU [point of this Sunday School Review Lesson; which is this: There is sat- istaction for great' thirst only in the old, deep wells. The men and women whose characters we have been studying for three months drank from the sure springs. Their lives were refreshed and strengthen- {ed from sources that never failed. Aa Jacob and Jesus, and myriads since, right down to this day, have had their thirst assuag-| unfailing well (this is a| ed as this --- 3 a {year of drought in Palestine, but it {does not effect the well at Sychar), |s0 the great ones of Scripture satis- fled their cravings at the perennial spring of the person ang grace o1 God.

We are face to face with terrible failures in the affairs of the nations. Diplomacy has fail- ed. Leadership has failed. Conter- ences and councils and une League of Nations have failed.

Today, as perhaps never before in history, it is the task of the Church to save the world. sn As a World Citizen Sees It. Within recent days I have been In frequent and intimate conversa- tion with a friend 'whom I have heard called, "the finest diplomat in Europe." He has been the oconfi- dant of kings and statesmen; all the world is familiar ground to him; and he thinks in terms of nations. As we discussed the present inte: national muddle, he made a striking remark; "I have about come to tile conclusion that there is mo hope or help for us in the so-called 'leaders and 'great men' of the day. They have had time in abundance, and despite failure after fallure, they have been given repeated oppor- tunity to make good. Instead, they have let things grow steadily worse, Now it seems to me that we must lcok to' the plain people, common men and women who, without self- consciousness, simply want to do Gal THREE--S8 8 Dia' what is right, They 'are the salt that is to save soclety If it is saved at all" Those are wise words.

Dominion Poultry Husbandmen With Specialized Information Contributed by G. W. Miller Animal anu wiecn Feed. | Last week we considered the value of corn and grain feeds for poultry. [Now we will learn of the necessity of animal and vegetable food. When on range the hens pick up [a lot of worms, bugs and iocis | You have often seen them fo owing | the plough on newly turned ground | eagerly gobbling up the worms. | They do this, not alone because these |are palatable, but because their sys- tem demands them to supply certain kinds of protéin which is obtained from np other source. Nor do hens on limited range get enough of thie kind of food. In such cases the amount they pickup must be supple- mented naturafly) Of course, when they are kept in confinement, as in the big commgreiat plants, théy are entirely dependent on the feeder for it. Experimedits have provbd that about one-tenth of the entire food consumed by a hen, or one-fifth of the mash, should be of animal origin when a large egg production is de- sired. En a------ When Bugs Are Deficient. When the natural supply of worms and insects runs short. either on rangs or fa confindient, it may be supplied artificially, with a high de- gree of satisfaction. Tila artifiglal supply Js obtained from several sources. The large meat packing houses process the meat particles and blood that accumulated in killing animals, and make from them a satisfactory meal, beef scrap or high-grade tank- age. None of these should be fed it rancid or moldy. Sometimes a horse or a cow is kill- ed because of accident. Every par- ticle of these, except the horns and the hoofs, make excellent feed for poultry. The bones must, of course, Neither must this be fed when spoil- ed.
