- Make Rural Life "More Attractive The Guelph Meroiiy Tells How Transformation Is Affected Helping to make rural life in all its phases more attractive than in the past is the aim of the Junior Farmers' Institutes. These institutions have became a strong feature of rural life today. Years ago it was said the country boy aml girl could not interest themselves on the farm. 'Today there are as interesting times and as delightful social gatherings there as in the city, They are fewer, of of course, a decidedly desirable factor. It is an old "saying that if the girls can be persuaded to remain on the farm and its life made plea- sant and desirable, the drudgery eljminated and city conveniences enjbyed, then, the boys could not driven from the farm. The dying may be aceepted as general- true. Fhe Junior Farmers' fecting a transformation pleasing, the girls are being taught the theory and practice of house- hold science. They are shown how dairying on a small scale can be made a delightful occupation, the making of clothes as nice as pro- fessional dressmakers can do them, the science of cooking dishes that are tasty - and- healthful,- and the cultivation of those finer qualities of womanhood. These are taught, and the teaching is acceptable for the old methods that have sufficed for generations past no longer ap- peal. work is af- * PO It is timely that the Government _ interest itself in the welfare of rural youth. Agriculture is the "backbone of the country, and youth. is the strong right arm. _. In the cities vocational schopls are pro- vided for young people, but until recently the rural schools: have been more or less neglected, except for the importing of the essentials of education, 'There were never any finishing 'touches, 'and the younger people felt seriously handicapped in their meeting 'with others of their. own age from the cities. there are many in the cities who envy the country girl and boy their health and vigor and their wonder- ful complexions and the indepen- dence of life and work. To add to the attractiveness the Government is cultivating the minds and the outlook or) rural youth, There is no questioff but that it is appreciated to the full and the Gov- | ernment and the country are made richer by it.

Place.--Corinth was in northern Greece, one of the outstanding cities of the entite Roman world at that time, ed Paul In Corinth "After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth . . +... for by their trade they were tentmakers." There is reason to believe that the Jews had raised a tumult against the® preaching of the Gospel in Rome, whereupon Claadius, without troubling him- self to inquire into the merits of the case, banished them all, both" Jews and Christians, Aquila and Priscilla, banished from the city, became two of Iaul's most valued "helpers." Ad "And he reasoned in the syna- gogue every sabbath, and persnad- ed Jews and Greeks" Paul quietly reasoned with his hearers show- ing, as on other occasions, from the Scriptures that Jesus whom the Jews had crucified was their "own Messiah.

Six great things are here de- clared to be practically worthless, .unless they are accompanied by love --the power to speak as the. angels, the gift of prophecy, the under standing of religious mysteries, faith to remove mountains, a spirit of benevolence: that leads to the bestowal of all one's goods upon the poor, and a willingness to he burned to death. All these, unless they are exercised in a love, are nothing. "Love suffereth long, and is kind, J.ove envieth not, Love vaun- teth not itself; is not puffed up." ere we see how love works in the heart of the believer. Endowed with" the grace of charity, and therefore full of the Love of God, he will beat long and patiently with those. who try him. He will not compare himself with others, and thus be led to feelings of envy, of of sclf-exaltation, l.ove is humble, it thinks little of itself, and much of others. "Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own. Is not pro- voked, taketh not account of evil", Love keeps itself sweet, calm and controlled. Tt does not seck its own things, but is constantly seeking the highest" welfare of others. Love does not take offence at little things, it makes allowances for others' weaknesses and failings. Love does not dwell upon the evil done to her, but is able to forgive and also to completely forget. "Rejoiceth not in unrighteous ness, but rejoiceth- with the truth." He who loves Christ and His cause be apathetic, caring not whether iniquity or righteousness prevails, He must rejoice when he secs righteousness and truth de- feating the powers of evil, "Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endurcth all things". Love silently endures whatever it has to suffer. Love be- lieves the best of othets, Love Love endureth all things and maintains an unshaken confidence in God, "Love never faileth , , , but then shall I know fully even as also 1 was fully known." Paul is speak- ing-here of the things that will pass, away. As when a child grows to be a man he puts away childish things, so prophecies will disappear De- cause they will be fulfilled. The ~ gilts of knowledge and prophecy play their part now in comforting and thlighreming God's people, but spitit of § of these is love." Prophecies, but your help NO home sooner.

Garden Notes TRANSPLANTING Successful transplanting depends on two factors (1) the purchase of good, healthy, stout stock, and (2) exposing the roots as little as pos- sible to the air. Sct out stock on a dull day or in the evening, say the experts, Firm down the earth well around the plant, tree or what- ever is being transplanted, and water well, With big trees--six or seven feet high--this may mean a pail of water cach, and every few days if possible, With small things like tomatoes or cosmos, a pint or so aronnd each plant will be sof- ficient, ILarth around tie roots should be fine and of good fertility, _ and it should be kept well cultivit-. ed while fie plant is gating es- tablished There is a Tot of transplanting connected with gardenmg, In vege- tables a great many things such as cabbage, cclery, tomatoes and pep- pers are usually bought as started plants froni sccdemen or green- houses and set ont in permanent quarters, while almost any flower-- perennial as welb as annual--can bey purc hased in this way. The same, of course, applies to all nursery stock, fruit and ornamental treee, wijbery, rosce, vines, ete, D-Day For Date: H- Hour For Time The "D" in "py. Day' !
