Then, too, an earlier start gives you time to give them a better start. Once the spring work opens up, you won't have much time to spare! Again, the top prices of the year are real- ized in the fall . . September to December. Early-started, winter- started chicks have time to reach full size and development, and full egg-size, by the time prices are climbing, even though high-pro- tein feeds, for starting and grow- "Order TO-DAY -- Order BRAY" ma Myrtle Station (Too late for last week) "Optimism or sceing as God sees" was the subject of discourse on Sun- day evening by the pastor, Rev. D. G. Gault. Pleasing and fluent as a speaker, Mr. Gault has no trouble in holding the interest ofghis congrega- tion and presents his messages -in a most capable manner. * The annual Sunday School meeting was held on Monday évening with a very few present. Rev: D. G. Gault presided, opening the meeting with Scripture reading and prayer, 'In the absence of the secretary, Mrs. Luery was appointed pro tem. The treas- urer's report showed a substantial bal- The secretary's report showed 31 scholars on the roll, 7 teachers and officers. Temperance and Missionary instruction has been given during the year. Six babics are on the Cradle Roll. There has been a regrettable ab- sence of teachers in the past year which is responsible for a decrease in attendance of scholars. Lack of in- terest in Sunday School work on the part of parents was another reason given for the decrease. A teacher is badly needed for the boys' class, yet no one will offer his services. Sunday School work is a tie, we acknowledge, but if teachers are not available, how can the school carry on? Do the par- ents and other church attendants want the church closed? It is a most discouraging situatiogy and rather un- fair, to say the least, to the faithful few who do attend. Mr. William Eyers visited on Mon- day with his family at their home in Hawkestone. : : : Pte. Stanley Linton and Mrs. Linton visited in Oshawa on Saturday. / Mrs. William Gardiner of Ashburn, was a visitor on Sunday afternoon with her parents, Russell and Mrs. Taylor.

You can raise your chicks on less of these high-proteins if you start them earlier and give yourself time "to grow them more slowly. Don't overcrowd your chicks. Order just the number you have room for. If you jam them in too tight, nature very often steps in, and _cuts the number to about what vou should have in the first place. Second, plan to hold down your growing costs with green pasture, and if at all possible, with some milk by-product. This calls for planning ahead, but it is time well spent. : MRS.

In South America there was a total distribution of almost a million vol- umes of the Holy Writ. Brazil, our newest ally, headed the list with 453,- 519 volumes.

It is a great satisfaction to us all who support the Bible Society, and especially to our. eollectors, some of whom have laboured year after year, that their cfforts are the means of helping the great missionary under- taking of this wonderful world-wide society in its distribution in over 700 languages, of that great Book we all put so much reliance in--The Holy Jible.
