3 - HLS 'Man's Friend ~The Honey Bee Important In The Pollination Of Small Fruits and : Clover The chief value of the honey bee lies not In 'the amount of. honey it gathers but in fts ald To agricul 'ture generally. The community in which the beekgep8r operates often recelves more benefit than the bee- keeper bimsell, "The importance of the honey bee, acticularly "in the early Spring when few other pollination insects are prevalent, cannot be estimated; later ts importance in the pollina- tion of other crops, as small fruits and clovers, is generally recognliz- ed. Can Hardly Be Called Domesticated The honey bees are especially well adapted fo carry pollen. Their bodies and legs are covered with hairs to which the pollen grains adhere" when working the flower in search of pollen and nectar for their own requirements, Many of these grains of pollen become lodg- ed on the receptive stigmas and fertilize the flowers, Although the honey bee can scarcely be called domesticated, {ts numbers can bé controlled, Hundreds -of hives are moved yearly from one section to another either to be placed In or- chards_ for pollination purposes or to gather a crop of honey.

Fh, A LIFE DEDICATED TO GOD Isaiah 6: 1. 13. ISAIAH; THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING -Time,--Uzziah died in 766 B.C. Place.--The City of Jerusalem, 1-3. In the year that King Uz- ziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple, Above him stood the seraphim; 'each ohe. had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. In the year of King Uzziah's death' the people of Israel were and as a kingdom and country to devastation 'and annihilation by the imperial power of the world. In the same year Romulus was born and shortly after this Rome _ itself was founded! The national " glory of Israel died out with king Uzziah and has never revived to this day. Mid widespread corrup- tion we find the youthful 'Isaiah was calléd to the office of pro. ly for his wonderful prophesies but for _his -remarkable gift of oratory. He was perhaps the greatest orator that ever opened «a mouth on the face of the earth. ' "These passages slow us that Is- aiah was endowed with great vis- ion and insight onto the goodness of God. ; 4. And the foundations of the" thresholds. shook at the voice of Jhim that cried and the house was filled with smoke. This difficult expression is figurative and means from awe by the sound attending the cry of the seraphim. The 'smoke' is a reference to thé cloud that is sb often mentioned in the Old Testament as. the visible symbol of God. 2 65. Then said I, Woe is me! for "T am undone; because I ain a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; Jehovah of hosts. Isaiah is overwhelmed with the sense of his own unworthiness. 6-8. Flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, -which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven. And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me. 9-10. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye in- deed; but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they. see with theig eyes, and_hear with their ears, and un- derstand = with their heart, and turn again, and: be healed. Thus * Itaiph was directed to be the pro- phet of his people, the people of lips. How mournful does the commission sound! It was.the terrible oppos- ite of that seraphic mission which 11-12, Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste, and - away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land. Isaiah asks of the Lord how long it will be before the children of Israel who will not. receive his message will turn again to thet Lord to be healed, The Lord re- plied by giving to Isaiah in sum. mary a history of the future of the Jewish people as a whole, 13. And if there'be yet a tenth In it, it also shall in turn be eat- 'en up: as a tetebinth, and as an oak, whose" stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof. Thus -Jehovah says that Israel shall nev- ~ér perish utterly, any. more than the living seed perishes.when hur- fed in the earth, To. 'Judah and Jerusalem' a tenth part Bhall re. turn; not, of cpurse, ani exact lit eral tenth. but .a tithe, expressive of the claim that Jehovah still makes on the nation 'and every. sign: of that return is prominent today.

Bishop, V.C: "By next year we should have 28 squadrons equipped' with the most modern airplaiies obtain- able. It will be equal of any in the world in efficiency and quality of personnel." It would be a "very fine nucleus" for an adequate defence force and "we will be in a position to offer Great 'Britain substantial as- sistance in case of war."
