LIBERTY FOR SERVICE, Gal. 5: 13-15, I. THE ANGEL AND THE BEAST, Gal. 5: IIL HE CHRISTIAN CITIZEN, Romans UTOPIA, Romans, 13: INTRODUCTION--The early church was by no means perfect. The qual- ity of the preaching was of the best; the performance of the pew left much to be desired. That was to be expect- ed. These communities had just been won, partly from an impure pagan- ism--partly from Judaism, a religion of law. The Gentile Christians were in danger of falling back into the impure customs of their former reli- gions. The Jewi:t believers were, too often, easily persuaded that religicn must be a matter of rules and prohi- bitions. The Galatiang seem to have been specially unsteady and easily turned aside. "O foolish Galatians, Who Bath bewitched you?" cried Paul, al. 11. I. LIBERTY FOR SERVICE, Gal, 5: 13-15. "You have bee called unto liberty," wrote Paul, v. 13. This does not mean that you can do as you please, Liberty is not license. You are not at liberty to interfere with the liberty of your fellow-man. "Your liberty ends where my nos. begins," said a man to his threatening opponent. The Christian must think of himself as free, not to sin, or harm his fellow--but free to help him. The Galatians were worrying about the law. Paul assures them that the man who lives by love fulfils all law, v. 14, He will aot harm his brother --nor steal from him--.or tempt him to any wrong. Instead, he will want to do him good. "Personszl liberty" cannot be separated from "social re- sponsibility." The Galatians were also quarrel- some, v. 15. A wrangling church soon breaks up. A house divided against itself cannot stard. "Forget your petty Jisputes," savs Paul, in effect, and get on with the business." II. THE ANGEL AND THE BEAST, Gal. 5: The Christian's life is a conflict where the high and the low struggle for the mastery. Paul himself knew all about that warfare, Rom. 7: 16- 25. Acting on our lower impulses, we produce a ghastly harvest of sins. Paul gives a partial list of sins which were common among the Galatians. Any one of them is a "beast" which de- vours a man's finer life, sins of sensu- olity, v. 19, sins associated with hea- then religions, v. £0, sins against so- cisty, v, 21, "They which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." That is, for all who indulge in these, there is, naturally, no room in the Christian Brotherhood. To overcome the beasts, one must take the side of he angels. The Spirit, the mind of God functioning in a hu- man body, produces a harvest of posi- tive virtues which displace the lower desires and tastes. A man is not né- cessarily a Christian who is innocent of ad1ltery, murder, profanity, drink- ing. A fence-post is also innocent of these, A real Christian, on the other hand, exercises positive virtues--love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self- control. These grow from love as the fruit grows on the tree. These qualities, Paul somewhat dryly re- marks, do not call for the interference of the police, v. 23. The defeat of our lower tendencics is a gradual process. Paul calls it crucifixion--a slow aud painful death, v. 24. Our religion must show itself in our common tasks, v. 26. We must live in such a manner that the only explanation is that we are in touch with God III. THE CHRISTIAN CITIZEN, Romans 13: This passage seems to point to tur- bulence and anarchy among the Roman Christians--most likely, the Jewish Christians. Paul makes an appeal for law and order. "The higher pow- ers (v. 1) are the existing authorities --the Roman Empire. He who "re- sists" the authority will bring upon himself "damnation" (v 2), that is, the punishment always meted out to law-breakers. IV.

M. Reinach in a communication to the Academy of Sciences traces the custom back to one of the earliest sup- erstitions of mankind. He stated that Pliny the elder reported that in earl- iest Roman times it was considered an omen of bad luck if one neglected to crush one's egg-shell. The custom, M. Reinach found, originated with primitive peoples who were snake worshippers. The snake was a tribal institution and protcetor of the tribe, the hearth and the family, and nearly everyone in those times had a family snake. As snakes were known to be fond of eggs, it was con- sidered disrespectful to leave an empty egg-shell which might bring disappointment to the family serpent. Mr, Reinach's communication occa- sioned some surprise. Many readers have written to newspapers that they never heard of crushing an egg-shell, which they condemn as untidy and illogical. It appears, nevertheless, that in the best society only a couple of genera- tions back neglect to crush the shell was one of the seventeen deadly errors that a person of good breeding might make in eating a soft-boiled egg, which itself was one of the most difficult rites to perform in good society. The shell had to be cracked just so, and the egg removed in a particular man- ner. The small portion of egg con- tained in the cap of the shell had to be eaten from it with a spoon, and then a certain amount of the egg re- maining had to be dipped out with a small piece of bread before the pro- cess of seasoning was undertaken, 'When the egg was eaten, the shell had to be taken from the cup and crushed on the plate. Any guest who neglectel to do this was immediately crossed off the list of acquaintances and never invited for another week- end. -- 12 Metals Heavier than Lead There are at least twelve metals heavier than lead, and ten of them are more precious than gold. They are palladium, platinum, iridium, mercury, asmium, rhodium, rubidium, ruthen- ium, tantalum, thallium, tungsten and uranium. Osmium, almost twice as heavy as lead, is the heaviest known substance. "I have a great idea for a musi- cal comedy," "Something in the way of a plot?"

Study Reveals Biting : Habits of Mosquitoes Fishermen long have known when fish bite best. Now the periods when mosquitoes bite best, or worst, liaye been revealed by entomologists of the United States Department of Agri- culture. There are mosquitoes that bite only at night, others that bite only during the day, some that bite best at sunrise and some best at sundown. There is one grain of comfort for the mosquito-ridden citizen. Only the female mosquito bites. The male feeds on nectar and similar substances. Here are some mosquito "sche- dules": The "rain barrel" or common mos- quito bites only at night and can find her victims no matter how dark it is. When flying it makes that irritating singing noise which is familar to every one. The yellow-fever mosquito usually bites close to the ground or attacks from behind and often crawls under clothing to bite. It bites only in the daytime and is busiest early in the morning and late in the afternoon. It flies quietly. It will bite indoors all day. The fresh-water marsh mosquito, ! known under the scientific name Man- sonia, a severe biter, is busiest just at dusk, It passes the day in the grass and will bite during the day. if disturbed. ; Malarial mosquitoes will bite all right long and sometimes, too, in the daytime, especially on dark days. ------i Famous Words "It ain't the money I care for--- it's the principle of the thing."

Witness the in- creased tolerance for diversity of op- inion, the increased courtesy of con- troversialists, the growing tendency to dwell on the good side of men and systems.

Periods of rest, health examinations and self- discipline as to diet and exercise have made the European health conscious and more concerned with rational liv- ing than the American, according to these physicians. "We have prolonged the span of life in the United States, but we do not live any longer," said Dr. Fred- eric Sondern, director of the labora- tories of the New Yurk Lying-in Hos- pital. "We have accomplished this by saving the lives of young children, but at the same time we have neglected the care of chronic diseases. "In this the Eurdpean spas are do- ing exactly what we have left undone. They are giving importance to increas- ing the span of life of the adult. The European of middle age is apt to live much longer than the American. Dr. ». H, Corwin of New York, a former officer cf the New York Aca- demy of Medicine, declared that Am- erican mineral waters were equal to many famed springs of the Continent, but said the cure idea had not grown in the United States to the extent it had in Europe because it was difficult under the prohibition laws and res- trictions against gambling and racing to make the American spas as attrac- tive and interesting for a three-weeks' rest as the Continental resorts, Vichy, he pointed out, is visited annually by 130,000 who take the cure.

Ladies' Day at the Race Track. and in consequent] ---- uently an important fac: | tor in the study of the silver problem now being carried on under the aus- pices of the International ber of Commerce, according to a recent Can- adian Pacific Railway bulletin, The four largest producers of silver it the world are Mexico, the United Staates, Canada and Peru, in the order named. Together they supply more than 80 per cent. of the -silver produc- tion of the world. In 1930 the Cana- dian production was 16,443,823 fine ounces. The latest comparative fig- ures available are for 1929, when the production of the dominion was 23, 143,261 ounces, In that year Mexico led with an output of 108,700,372 fine ounces. The United States came sec- ond with 61,233,321 ounces, and Peru fourth with 21,495,169 fine ounces. The world production of silver in that year was 261,715,021 ounces of silver. "Silver mining in Canada is not a distinct "industry as silver generally occurs with other metals," the bulle- tin continues. "The two main branches of the industry are silver- cobalt mining, which is confined to Ontario, and the silver-lead-zinc min- ing Industry, which operates in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, British Col- umbia, and in the Yukon and North- west Territories. British Columbia led among the Canadian Provinces. The output of that Province was 11, 825,930 fine ounges, while Ontario came second with "10,205,683 ounces. The Yukon supplied 3,746,326 fine ounces and Quebec came fourth with 571,164 ounces. There was also a pro- duction of a little dess than 100,000 ounces from Manitoba, and a small production from Nova Scotia. "The principle producers in the sil- ver-cobalt industry in 1930 were the Nipissing Mine, the Mining Corpora- tion and the O'Brien at Cobalt; the Keeley, Frontier-Lorrain and Lorrain Trout Lake at South Lorrain, and the Miller Lake O'Brien, Morrison and Castle Tretheway in the Gowganda area. The Nipissing Mining C was the only company in this group producing silver bullion in 1930. Dur- ing that year this group of mines pro- duced 223,452 tons of ore and milled 202,565 tons to produce 3,392 tons of concentrates; ore cyanided:amounted to 40,406 tons and silver bullion pro- duction reached 1,644,766 fine ounces. Shipments of ores.and concentrates to the Canadian smelters amounted to 8,332 tons and to European and United | States smelters, 1,696 tons, making a total of 7,028 tons in 1930 as against 5,195 tons in 1929. The total value of all shipments, including bullion, was $3,637,181, as against $3,918,316 in 1929. J : "British Columbia {s the leading centre of the silver-leadzinc mining industry. In 1930 this Province, be- sides producing 45 per cent. of Can- ada's silver, was the origin of 97 per cent.-of the lead and 93 per cent. of the zinc of the Dominion. The Sul- livan mine, noted the world over for its output of lead and zinc, is the largest individual silver-producing mine in Canada. "The largest operations in this in- dustry are carried on by the Consoli- dated Mining and Smelting Company in the district about Trail, B.C, This company in 1930 introduced a new method of recovering zinc and lead, known as 'slag-fuming.' Electrolytic zinc is produced by this company and also by the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company at Flin-Flon, Man. Electrolytic cadmium is produced in the refining of zinc at the Trail plant. "Besides holding third place among the world producers of silver in 1930 Canada ranked fourth among those producing lead and fourth in the smelter output of zinc, Canada and Central Africa produce about equal amounts of cobalt. Among the metals and minerals produced in Canada sil- ver held eighth place in 1930. Lead held sixth and zin¢ ninth in point of value." 8 ml -- Visitor: "Do you like reciting, dear?" : Child:™ "Oh, no, I hate it, really.

He was an American horse -- 80 they distinguished in California one bought from the old States--a su- perb young stallion, perfectly black, without spot upon him, except where a flake of foam from his indignant nostril had caught upon his flank, A thoroughbred horse, with the perfect tail and silky mane of a noble race. Hard after him came Jose, the herds- man, on a fast mustang. As he rode, he whirled his lasso with easy turn of the wrist, The black, trotting still, and halt ing still to curvet and carocole, turn- ed back his head proudly at his pur- suer. Jose spurred his horse and it leaped forward. The black gave & tearing bound, and quickened his pace but still waited the will of his pur suer. They were just upon us, chased and chaser, thundering down the slope, when the herdsman, checking his wrist at the turn, flung his lasso straight as an arrow for the blacks head. It hung poised for one instant a few feet before him, vibrating in the air, keeping the circle perfect, waiting for the herdsman's pull to tighten about that droud neck and those swelling shoulders. Hurrah! Through it went the black! With one brave bound he dashed througy-the open loop. He touched only to spur its vain assault, with® elated head, and tail waving like a banner, he sprang forward, closed in with the herd; they parted for his passage; he took his leadership, and presently was lost with his suite over the swell of the prairie. When we had come im sight of the corral, we discovered, to our surprise, the whole band of horses had volun- tarily entered. Gerrian sent in Jose' who" drove all but the black out of the staked enclosure. He trotted about at his ease, sniffing at the stakes and bars, and showing no special disposition to follow. 1 entered alone. Presently he be- Lom performing at his own free will It was magnificent to see him as he circled about me;~fire in his eye-- pride in his nostril, power and grace from tip to tip. He trotted power- fully; he galloped gracefully; he thun- dered at fufl speed; he lifted his fore- legs to welcome; he flung cut his hind legs to repel; he leaped as jt he were springing over bayonets; he pranced and curveted as if he were the pretty plaything of a girl, Then, when he had amused himself, and delighted me sufficiently he trotted up and snuffed about me just out of reach. Finally, instinctively knowing me for a friend, the black came forward 'and made the best speech he could of welcome--a neigh, and no more. Then he approached nearer, and, not without shying and starts, of which I took no notice, at last licked my hand, put his head upon my shoulder, suffered me to put my arm about his neck, and in fact lavished upon me every mark of confidence. At last, after a good hour's work, I persuaded him to accept a halter and accompany me homeward.--From "Fulano," by Theodore Winthrop.
